THEY THOUGHT so.
Indianapolis Physicians Not Surprised
 at News of Second Operation.

Indianapolis, Ind, September 2S-The Indianapolis physicians and surgeons who participated in the operation performed on the President at St. vincent's hospital last Tuesday were shown the dispatch from Washington announcing that an- other operation had been necessary and all declared that this was not unexpect- ed, but was what they had feared. All united however, in saying that there is President, either from blood poisoning or in regard to the permanent impair ment of the limb
 Dr. John H. Oliver, who performed the first operation. said: I
 "The new operation is only what we all feared would be made necessary and that was the reason we advised that he be hurried back to Washington. The wound is by no means dangerous, although it is of such a nature as to require that he give up the use of his limb for some time There is absolutely no danger that the limb will have to be amputated or of blood poisoning either"
 pr. Henry Jameson said:
 That another operation would have to be performed Is only about what we ex- nected. The serum was collected in the cavity under the riostium from which it was drained What has happened is only what we feared and we only advise ab- solute quiet for the limb. There is noth- ing serious about the wound except that if will make very sore leg and would necessarily require that it be opened and the serum drained. It may even be nec- essary to scrape the bone, but time will show this There is no danger that the lilimb will have to be amputated and with II proper drainage neither is there any llcause for alarm in regard to blood pois- Ioning"

Wilkesbarre, Pa, September 2.-Some of the local coal operators. after being shown copy of the statement issued by Workers today, say it will probably be the last he will give to the public before the ending of the strike. They claim his appeal is made up of generalities and that he endeavors to win public sympa- thy by making a plea for child labor. One operator said the condition Of child labor In the coal region is much better than 1t Is in the manufacturing districts Of the country, that the wages paid are better and the working hours shorter. At strike headquarters Mir. Mitchells last deliverance is termed a ten strike and that the facts and figures he pre- sents are irrefutable.
 The military authorities, Sheriff Jacobs and some of the superintendents of the coal companies in this vicinity held a meeting in the office of one of the coal companies last evening and talked over a plan. by which the troops can be moved propmtly to scenes of disturbance.
 It Is not the purpose of the military to oo pohce duty but If any of the com panies can get men to go to work the soldiers will give them protection It is reported again that. attempts will be made toward resuming work at several collieries in this region which have been idle since the strike began, but the re- port cannot be verified
 At strike headquarters it was claimed that there will be no change in the situa- ton the coming week. which is the twen- ty-hrst of the strike, that the strikers are as firm as ever and that there will be no assertions from the ranks to make It possible for the coal companies to start up any new collieries.

Geo. Washington as q Far.
mer and Mule Breeder

Washington as property owner
was one of the wealthiest men IN
this country during the last quarter
of the eighteenth century. he
owned at the time of his death ST.
1913 acres, not including the Mount
Vernon estate; the property OF his
wife was valued at $4,000. In
1898 Washington owned 81 head
of cattle, 634 sheep, and 81 draught
horses. The general live stock on
his farm was estimated at $4,000.
Over 800 persons lived on the
Mount Vernon estate, and Wash
ington employed his own carpen-
tiers, blacksmlths, weavers, masons
and cobblers. A shrewd man at
driving a bargain, cautious IN all
speculative ventures, and fond OF
the details of business DIS he was
of military affairs, Washlngton's
greatest ambition in time of peace
was to be known as the first farmer
of America.
One of his greatest treasures won
as an agrlcuIturist, was a massive
silver cup, nine inches high, ele-
gantly chased, and bearing this
inscription:
1880.
A Premium from the
Agricultural Society of South Carolina
to
George Washington
For Raising the Largest Jackass."
Under the inscription a very re-
alls,ic portrait of the animal was
engraved. Washington's marriage
to the widow Gusts brought to his
care an estate valued in round
numbers at 100000. This was
great wealth in Washington's day.
