pInlouIi surgIOaI Operation.

From Fridays Daily,
Dr. Raster, chief surgeon for the
A, II, g. S, Il. railroad and his assls-
tant, DR., Mcconnell, performed a
very difficult operation for appended
tis on Mr., Perry, at the hospital Of
Dr., Welch yesterday afternoon. The
operation required great amount Of
Of care on account Of the extraordl-
nary amount Of cohesion present
around the appendix, The appendix
was successfully removed and found
to contain an inflammation which
would have produced certain death
in a few days. The operation was
witnessed by some fifteen physicians
and has been pronounced the most
diillcult one Of It's kind ever perform
ed in this section Of the country,
The patient is doing very well this
morning and stands a good show. for
recovery. Two operations were also
performed this morning and the pa
tlents in both cases are doing nicely,
DR., Wclch's new hospital Is a two
story structure, well located and very
conveniently arranged, The rooms,
Of which there are ten, are very COM
modlus and ample, Attendants are
always ready at u moments notice,
The operating room deserves special
mention, Everything here is In first
class condition; the light is good and
the equipment is complete. As Is the
custom in all city hospitals, this room
is at the service Of any Of the physlcl-
ans o. the city, the privilege Of

1t is apparent thatindustrial and per-
haps political affairs in Germany are
in the worst condition for years. 1t is
now several months since the papers
printed the news Of financial difficult
ties that threatened to develop alarm
ing proportions. AS usual II mani
tested itself In the banks. They are
always the barometers to show the inn
pending storms. There has been no
real panic, but hard times have follow
ed up until the opening of soup houses
has become imperative. Industries
are closed and the workmen, In usual
times prosperous, are forced to accept
aims. These conditions are seriously
to be deplored In any country, but they
come more or less frequently to all
countries. The world is now 80 cos
mopolitan that any such disturbance
is very apt to De communicated To. other
countries even across the seas. The
world as o whole, except in parts Of
Asia and perhaps localities In Russia
has been very prosperous for the past
few years. 1t 10 but natural that this
order should be reversed sometime,
ere many years. However it does not
seem that the world is ripe for another
panic, though it will come sone day.

Young Woman's Mystery.

There seems to be some kind
Of a mystery hanging over
o young lady Swede by the name Of
Erickson, who came here from Mar
quette Kansas, the first part of the
week. She took rooms at the Wilcox
boarding house on Sherman street
West, and as She acted very pecu-
liarly at times, Charles Orth, an en-
ployee, Of the city water works,
thought an investigation, should be
made as to her sanity. Accordingly,
the county officials were notified of
the facts and DR.. Gage was sent
around. to see the girl.
She would talk intelligently for a
few minutes and would then lapse
into silence, seeming to forget every

Fell From Second Story Window.

From Fridays Daily.
Yesterday afternoon, shortly after
! O'Clock, the little two-year-old boy Of
DR.. Fletcher a corn doctor, who has
been stopping here for the past two
weeks, fell out Of a second story win
dow in the Reno House, and was
picked up, badly frightened, but unin-
jurcd, The child had been playing in
the window for some time, OCCASION
ally placing both Of his hands on the
screen and leaning his weight on 1t.
The screen was loose on one side, and
a drayman, who had noticed this and
had been watching the child for some
time, had just started into the hotel
to warn the parents Of the danger the
child was in, when the screen gave
way. The boy fell head foremost
from the window and alighted upon
u small table, containing some cloth
ing samples, which stood directly un-
derneath the window. The drayman,
who had just started in the hotel,
reached the table in time to catch the
child before it fell onto the sidewalk,
and carried him up to the terrified
father,
There is no doubt but that the child
would have been killed had it not
been for the table on the sidewalk,
and as 1t is, he received a severe jar
on the neck which may result in trou-
bic later on.

Council to Pass an Ordinance Allowing the
Salaries in Monthly Installments.
An ordinance is in course Of prepara-
ton and will be introduced 10 City
Council in the next week or SO chang
ing the system of paying the officers OF
the Fire Department in manner which
will be more satisfactory to those
officials. At present the money is paid
in semi-annual instaIlments. The
ordinance proposes to pay the men as
other city officials are paid, In monthly
installments.
As the city grows the work deyolving
upon the officers of the Fire Depart
menS increases proportionately. They
assume greater responsibility and have
more territory to cover, and now 1t has
come to a point where it is necessary
for the chief to give his entire attention
to the work. Until the election of the
present chief, John T. Welsh, the man
holding the Office had other business,
his official connection with tho Fire
Department being a side issue. Men
have always been selected, OF course.
who could mako it convenient to attend
all fires, and the work has never been
neglected, but Chief Welsl is the first
to devote his entire time to the office.

out some blast holes which had been
cut In the rock and to place dynamite
cartridges in ths drill holes. While be
was at the bottom of the river, the air
machine connections became clogged;
and although the men at the air pumps
kept up the pumping, they failed to
supply the diver with air. When tho
bumpers found they could get no re-
Spouse to their signals, they drew
Anderson to the surface. When he was
hauled to the deck and the diving suit
opened, it was found that he was dead.

arrested and remanded to the custody
of the coroner. Rogers told the magis.
trate that the pumps appeared TO be
working all right, and that he was I'M

gnd Herbert l.. Rice, both well-known

chosen and Immediately some of tho

Mr.. Rice found fault witiINthe appoint
ment aud talked of testing its legality
on tie ground that Mr.. Garrett was a

followed, the climax coming in the
