DR.. LORENZ's OPERATION
Performed on Minneapolis Child by
DR.. Mark 3. Smith. -.

The famous operation for congenital
dislocation of the hip demonstrated re-
Gently at Chicago by DR.. Adolf Lorenz,
the Vienna specialist, was performed yes
terday, for the first time in the northwest,
at Asbury hospital, this city. The opera
tor was DR.. Mark B. Smith, who was as
sisted by DR.. J. w. Little and the hospi-
tai staff. The patient was a 3-year- old
son of Mrs. James H. Hyer. Several local
surgeons witnessed the operation
The boy was put under the influence of
an anaesthetic and then the surgeon ma
nipulated the muscles of the affected leg
until they became comparatively flexible.
Finally he forced the ball of the hip joint
into it's socket. The leg was then ban
daged and encased in a plaster cast. When
the cast is removed, several months hence
the hip joint, as the surgeons believe, will
be altogether normal. The same result
has heretofore been obtained by readjust-
ing the hip after cutting deep into the
muscles. .*@ n

AN ENORMOUSCROWD.
Advance Sale Of Tickets for the Co.
pher-Badger Game Is sa
>,. Immense. ,.
Management Will Try to Accommo-
- - ~
date All, but "You Will 4 =
Have to Hurry -"

Tremendous will be the crowd that will
be out to see the great game of football
between Minnesota and Wisconsin uni
versities at Northrop field next Saturday.
Lovers of the great sport know the game
will be one of thrilling interest Grid
iron contests between these old-time
foes have for years been nothing short Of
sensational and this year the interest. Is
at top notch; the greatest game in the
history of the sport between the institu-
lions is promised. Lovers of the sport
look for Minnesota to put up the fastest
fight a gopher team has ever made.
They realize that there Is not gutter
on the team and that the game will be
fought to the last gasp by every man, not
only to keep the badgers from winning but
to put the ball over the Wisconsin goal
line times enough to make the gophers
win.
All this has awakened an interest such
as has not been known here before. The
demand for tickets, the sale of which be-
gan yesterday, is phenomenal. Orders
for blocks Of tickets are coming In from
all the surrounding towns-Duluth, Fari-
bault, Owatonna, Mankato, st. Cloud and
Others Not only that, but Minneapolis
society will be there in full force. The
leading families are arranging parties
and the demand for boxes exceeds that
for any game ever played at Northrop
field. -,
So fast have the seats gone that the
management expects to have to hang up
the standing room only" sign by to-mor-
row evening.
Ten or twelve thousand persons will
probably witness the game.
If all the seats are gone by tomorrow
evening, the management will arrange for
platforms for those who have to stand.
The limit of the capacity Of the field will
be taxed.
to- fox fD~
the crowd are SO good. as the athletic
board at present faces a deficit and the
game, Of Saturday is depended upon to
wipe this out and provide something Of a
margin Ito work on next year. For this
reason the alumni and all lovers of the
sport las well as those who hope to see
Minnesota among the leaders in football in
the west should help to swell the crowd to
the very limit and do it quick while seats
are to be had. :.

LOYAL LEGION MEETING
Approve Of a Pension That VIII Not Be
Granddaughter and Ad-
dresses.

The Loyal Legion of Minnesota, meet
ing last night before its banquet at the
Hotel Ryan, st. Paul, voted approval of a
bill granting a pension to Miss Martha
Aeker, sister of the late Captain w. H.
Acker, after whom Acker Post, G. A. R.,
at ST. Paul, is named. Captain Acker
was one of the first prominent Minneso-
tans killed in the rebellion. But before
the legion adjourned it was informed by
Congressman F. c. Stevens that the pro-
posed pension would never be granted.
TO pass such a bill, said he, would be to
violate an inflexible rule under which
congress has held up" many thousands
of similar bills.
The paper of the evening upon 1.-The
Campaign Up the James River to Peters
burg was read by Captain Edward ST.
monitor. Representative Stevens outlined
the congressional measures now being
considered for establishing national parks
at all important battlefelds.
Other speakers were Rev. T.. F. Wallace
a missionary from Mexico; Colonel A. L.
Sorter, president Of the board Of regents
of the National university at Mason City
Iowa; and Rev. George S. Rollins. pastor
Of the Park Avenue Congregations

ISLE OF PINES TROUBLES
Dr.. o. p. Sutherland Thinks They Arr
Greatly Exaggerated-The
Americans COMPLAIN.

The Isle of pines is not suffering from
"a condition bordering on anarchy as
was announced in recent telegram from
Washington. At least DR.. O. P. Suther-
land of this city, who receives frequent
letters from the island, believes that the
statement issued at Washington is much
exaggerated. DR.. Sutherland owns a large
amount of land on the Isle Of Pines, where
his son is now living.
II am going down there next week. y
said the doctor yesterday. 1.-The island
is perfectly safe for visitors and there is
nothing like anarchy to be feared. The
people are the most peaceable in the
world. The 700 or 800 Americans on the
island have good reason to complain, how
ever They pay large part of the taxes,
which all go into the Cuban treasury, yet
Cuba has given no representation to the
Isle of Pines and hasn't expended a cent
towards it's government. In these cir
cumstances the American residents are
naturally bringing what pressure they can
upon the Washington government to Sc
cure an American administration"

A Doctors strateaen,.

DR.. S. Weir Mitchell, better known as a
clever author than as physician, once
attempted a heroic cure. A patient suf-
fering from nervous prostration and worn
with disease had lain in bed for months.
At every visit the doctor told her to get
up and take a walk, which she refused to
do. One day he drove around and in
sisted on her taking drive with him. A
few blocks from home he invited her to
get out a minute and then drove rapidly
away, leaving her to walk home. It was
like the brusque old doctor, but he would
have done better to have advised her to
use golden grain belt beer as a tonic for
a few weeks before attempting the more
vigorous treatment. It's good for sick
and we'll people, but to get best results
you must use II regularly
