SUCCESSFULLY DONE.
Delicate Operation Has Been Perform
ed Upon w. A. Newcomb.

For several weeks Walter A. New
comb of this city, the well-known reg
lister of probate, has been in ill health.
He has been under the care of DR..
Wellington Johnson. After a careful
diagnosis of the case the physician
came to the conclusion that his all
ment was caused by an abscess on the
brain, supeTinduced by a dead bone in
the middle ear. When Mr.. Newcomb
was IA child he had an attack of scar
let fever and the disease left him in
lad shape. He has suffered more or
less from sores in his head. During
the past week he was advised by his
physician and by friends to consent
to an operation for the purpose of re-
moving the cause of his sickness, but
he would not consent to it.
Saturday morning, his condition was
SO serious that DR.. johnson concluded
to take prompt and decisive steps.
The patient had become unconscious
and one side was completely paralyzed.
DR.. owen Smith of Portland, one of
the leading physicians connected with
the Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary, was
summoned by telephone and he i'm
mediately left for Augusta, arriving
here on the 1885 train. In company
with DR.. johnson, DR.. l.. j. Crooker
and DR.. Q. w. Turner, he went to the
residence of Geo. W. Searles on Win
throp street, where Mr. Newcomb
1ooms, and examined the sick man.
He thought an operation was neceS-
sary. He performed it, being assisted
by the Augusta physicians above
named. Two incisions were made, one
back of the left ear, and the other at
the base of the skull. From the latter
opening Il cupful of pus was extracted
The dead bone was removed The
operation was a complete success. Be
fore it was performed the patient was
very weak, his pulse being quite low,
but afterwards it strengthened great
ly.
Yesterday afternoon, DR.. johnson ex-
pressed the opinion that if nothing I'M
forseen sets in, Mr.. Newcomb will re-
cover. The only danger is blood poison
ing and every precaution known to
medical science has been taken to
guard against that danger
The physicians agreed that if the
operation had not been performed at
the time it was death would have re-
suited inside of "a hours. The great
est hopes are now entertained of his
ultimate recovery

tribution TO the Mckinley memorial
fund Waldo county was asked to con-
tribute SIG, but s7S has been reported.
The list Of donors is very large, num-
bering several hundred. The contribu-
tions range from 5 cents to 25 cents,
thus showing the subscription to be a
popular and general one. With this adj
dition the total subscription in Maine
reaches the sum of $273673. or 1896 %
more than was asked of the State by
the National Memorial committee.
II am much pleased" said Governor
Hill. Saturday, "at the result achieved
by the Maine committee. In proportion
to the population our State has done as
much for the memorial to our late la
mented President as any state in the
country The members of the commit
tee have labored necessarily to accom-
plish this splendid result and all credit
should be given them"

In speaking about the case Of Peter
La Fountaine. the alleged poacher. who
was shot a little while ago by Game
Warden Templeton up in the Somerset
county woods Chairman Carleton saws:
'There are other poachers on whose
track we have been for some time, but
it is extremely difficult for us to get at
them. We urgently need more money
for warden service, and if the big game
of Maine is to be well protected so that
the State shall not lose a most impor-
tant source of revenue, more wardens
must be provided. The State is not
likely to appropriate any more, but
there is no reason why plenty of money
for good warden service should not be
supplied by the very men who benefit
most from the existence of the big
game animals. | do not see why any
man should oppose tax or license for
hunters. The license needn't be excess
sire, in fact. l am in favor of a sum
which would not be burdensome to the
man paying it, but which in the aggre-
gate would accomplish a vast deal in
improving the warden service. We are
aware that poaching exists in remote
and if we had more wardenS we could
prevent it. AS 1t is, we are obliged to
be content with patrOlling as much of
the forests as our limited funds will
permit Of"

Expensive Cancer Cure.

One Of the most expensive of mod
ern cures is the electric light treat
ment for cancer. The apparatus costs
over $500, the amount of current used
is very large, and it is only possible
to operate on spot as big as dime
at one time. twenty-five thousand
candle-power OF light is concentrated
by quartz lenses, which eliminate the
heat rays and allow only the chemical
rays to pass through them. AS treat
ment is necessary for an hour day
for at least three months, it makes
this cure one Of the most expensive.
