STOMACH HALF GONE
Wisconsin Man Receivers from a
Severe Operation.
1t Was Performed to Rid Him of n
Cancer in His Digestive Organs
but Few Cases Like 1t on
Record.

Though nearly one-half of his stom-
ach was cut away two months ago,
Charles Stryzewski, of Oshkosh, Wis,
is getting more healthy and stronger
every day, and the process of diges-
ton appears to be performed much
more completely and benehcially than
by very large proportion OF persons
who are b1essed-or, as some dysPep-
tics might put it, cursed-With a
whole stomach.
Ten years ago Stryzewski was ro-
bust man, apparently DIN perfect
health. He was employed in one OF
the local factories, and SO steadily did
he labor that he was enabled to accu-
mulate enough money to purchase
home for his wife and two sons, and
also to lay UP a sum for a rainy
day.
About five years ago he began to
have trouble with his stomach, and
his health began to fail. It was sup
posed that he had catarrh of the
stomach, and he was dosed and treat
ed for that ailment. But all proved
unavailing. He became emaciated,
and was unable to perform his daily
labor.
His ailment was finally diagnosed as
cancer of the stomach, and he was in
formed that his case was hopeless.
But Stryzewski is far from cow
ard Predetermined that rather than
perish of starvation, he would die of
the wound of surgeons knife. Al
though informed that there was al
most no chance of recovery, he went
to the hospital and prepared himself
for the ordeal,
On the morning before the opera
ton was performed he was given alb
solutely no nourishment. Borne to
the operating room, the stomach was
further cleansed by the application of
Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury [Connecticut]) 1900-1903, 1902-08-14

stomach pump. This, Stryzewski
says, hurt him good deal.
Then the anaesthetic was admins
tered and he was oblivious of his sur
roundings until the middle of the aft
ernoon, though he entered the operat-
ing-foom at half past ten a. m. The
operation itself, however, took only a
little more than two hours.
The diseased portion of the stom-
ach was severed from the unaffected
part, and the membraneous walls were
then sewed together. It required
about 100 stitches. to sew the walls Of
the stomach. The other organs were
rearranged and the hole closed in the
wall of the abdomen.
Then followed the weary and al
most hopeless struggle for life. The
patient rallied from the shock of the
double wound, but on account Of the
enforced idleness of the ordinary di-
gestive organs, his life hung by
thread.
For three weeks not morsel OF
food, liquid or solid, entered the mouth
or stomach. The patient was kept
alive by injections of liquid nourish-
ment and stimulants.
The wound caused thirst, but he was
absolutely refused water, as drink
of water, the physicians said, would
be almost instantly fatal. His thirst
almost crazed him, but he kept be-
fore him all the time that if he strug-
gled on and bore the suffering, he
might live, and Life was so dear to him,
and the thought of leaving his wife
and boys without protector so Bit
ter, that he gritted his teeth and grim
" fought on.
At the end of three weeks he was
allowed the first nourishment-a lit
tie milk. Gradually he was placed on
milk diet, and the crucial period
having been passed with the assimila-
ton of the tactical fluid, he ate soups.
Now he is, permitted to eat prac-
tically everything that goes to make
up the bill of fare in households,
Pastry, of course, he avoids.
He is getting stronger all the time,
walks about and sits in the sun and
reads. At present he weighs more
than he did before the operation, and
has the appearance simply of man
who is recovering from an illness, with
40 suggestion of death or decline. He
expects that he will be able to resume
his daily employment in a month
The operating surgeons say that the
portion of the stomach affected by the
cancer and removed was at least one
third of the whole organ. The opera
ton is believed to be the first of the
Kind in WISCONSIN

SAVING A POSITIVE VIRTUE.
The Habit of Thrift Thus Regarded
by Head OF Americas Greatest
Savings Rank.

Saving is a positive virtue; but a man
may save too much. He may go naked
and catch cold; but human nature is
not built that way.
1t goes without saying that the maG
who is not prov;dent and does not lay
up for rainy day has not the first ele-
ment of advancement. He needs to
learn of his neighbors the squirrels and
the bees. There comes a time when
ones savings are needed, and there
also comes a time when they are not
only NEEDED, but become a storehouse
from which he may use the energies
which he has accumulated.
The accumulation of savings elm
mates the fear of want and gives COM
sciousness4o f strength. The possession
of savings, however small, knows that
he has something to fall back upon.
The army that has no commissary in
the rear has but little energy to give to
the fight in front.
In the ply world, were it not
for the coal stirred up during the past
agesthe inha bitants of the globe would
be without fuel The conservation of
energy is a factor in the success of ma
ture as well as in that of an individual
or nation.
The Bowery savings bank is the Iarg-
est savings institution in the world.
I have been connected with the insti-
tuition for 40 years. When I was first
made director of the bank there were
So 600, 900 on deposit To-day the
books show $SO,OO0,OoO. We average
from 1880 to 1000 transactions day.
By that I mean there are that many
deposits and drafts made. Thursday
there were 1926 people in the bank.
They deposited $4,000 and drew $751;
600, leaving the balance of $65, 000in the
bank as the result of that days busi-
ness. This is fair sample of a days
transactions.
We have nearly 600 depositors at
this one bank. in New York state the
deposits in our savings banks amount
to more than. $1oo,ooo,ooo. In the ma
jority of cases the individual account
is small. Now, just what do these fig
uresf mean? How does savings bank
assist in the development of the
worlds business?
These institutions are regarded as
repositories of the savings of the
thrifty classes of the community. And
this is true; yet 1T is. but part of the
function of the institution. Through
the fundamentally of the savings
bank this immense amount of money
is thrown into femuneratiye action,
and thereby contributes to the adj
vancement of society. IF it had not
been availa bic for Investment purposes
many of the towns and villages that
now are equipped with all the conven-
fences OF modern times would be de-
prived of them.
Fewer water works would be in ex-
istence, fewer schoolhouses, fewer
church edifces. here is a practical use
for these savings, writes John p.
Hicks, in New York News.
Just word of the reflex action upon
those who save.
Among the 100000 depositors here
percentage are children. That is, the
parent and guardian deposit in the
name of the children. The little ones
are thus taught in the most effective
way possible the value of property
and the benefits accruing from it. In
other words, they are taught the real
meaning of thrift.

where Newspapers Are Scarce.

In Paraguay there is little COM
munistic colony known as the Cosmo
colony, which was founded several
years ago by an enthusiastic band of
Australian socialists. After many
hardships and priyations the colony is
now in such a fourishing condition
as to boast a newspaper of its own,
called the Cosmo Monthly. The man
ner in which news is dispensed to the
colonists is interesting. A horn is
blown, generally twice, with half an
hours gathering time between. The
colonists assemble and the reader for
the occasion gives out his news, which
consists of interesting items selected
from the latest weekly papers and dis
patches from the Asuncion daily pa
per, which the coIonists receive twice a
week.

When Court Ordered At
torneys to submit
Briefs on Motion
to Quash In

The Marion Holderman exces-
sive land holding cases will not be
decided at this term of court.
Judge Gill this morning
ordered the motion to quash, and
demurrers TO the indictment sub
mitted on briefs.
The defendant was given thirty
days in which TO file his brief, and
the prosecution until April lst. to

prosecution, as they had
summoned small army
OF witnesses. who this morning
collected their per diems and de-
parted hence.
The principal points in the de-
murrer entered by the defense are:
FIRST.
That the indictment does not
state an offense against a law OF
the United States, inasmuch az
the law under which the action is
br ought is unconstitutional in that
it would deprive the defendant of
his property without just compen-
sation.
SECOND.
That the law Is too indefinite
and uncertain to form the basis
for a criminal action.
THIRD.
That the indictment is indefinite
in pointing out and specifying the
exact nature of the crime alleged

IOIhIhs
That the indictment does not
comply with Section II. Of the
Curtis act. inasmuch as il alleges
land holdings only in excess Of the
proper share Of the defendant and
his wife, and fails to name the de-
PENDANTS minor children.
Other minor points are touched

points of the defense.
The ruling Of the court will be
awaited with interest, as lhe
points involved affec, valuable
properly interests throughout the
Cherokee nation.

man case this morning the court
adjourned until this afternoon.

Refreshments we're served in the
