ment He was admitted as free pa
tient, with his right eye protruding
from its socket. Harry had been walk
ing along the street with chip on his
shoulder and some larger dog knocked
it off and incidentally put Harry's eye
out.
The president of the faculty, DR..
Howard +. Hansell, decided that there
was some hope of saving the eye. So
Harry was etherized and put upon the
operating table, where the eyeball was
replaced in its socket and the lids
stitched together. Afterward DR.. Han
sell decided that a second operation was
necessary. Harry was again etherized
by the chief resident. DIR. Van Meter,
and DR.. Hansell removed the eyeball.
The animal was much exhausted by
the severe operation. but he rested
easily under the influence of morphia.
Harry has been treated just as if he
were human being. and he has suffered
no pain from which medical effort could
save him.

That the laws of Wisconsin in rela-
tion to marriage and divorce need re-
vision every thoughtful person must
admit. Milwaukee ha, gained an
inevitable notoriety on account of the
readiness, even eagerness, with which
Milwaukee clergymen marry young
thoughtless runaway couples from
Chicago or elsewhere. 1t is not to
our credit that all around the border
of our state justices of the peace thrive
on marriage fees received from per-
sons coming from neighboring states
where laws are more stringent than
here. A reference to the published
reports of marriages show the village

veritable Gretna Green for eloper from
Dubuque and other places Of Iowa or

introduced into our Legislature re-
qairing the issuance Of a marriage Ii

county before any magistrate or min

lied to perform the marriage cere-
mony. Other bills have been or will
be introduced, seeking to remedy ex-
isting evils The new law, if one is
passed, should secure certain results;

vised marriages and relieve the courtsl
