STOMACH REMOVED
By Rare Operation, but Man Lives
and is Comfortable.

Sioux City Uowa) Cor New Ysr, Herald.
William Moss, a farmer living near Pone-
roy left the Samaritan Hospital for home
without stomach, yet feeling well and
weighing fifteen pounds more than he did
three weeks ago. The operation of remov-
ing Moss stomach was performed at the
hospital a little more than three weeks
ago. Moss is fifty weight years old and had
always been well until few months ago.
He began tn have trouble with his stomach
and finally the physicians told him he was
suffering with cancer. lie gr, worse and
when I've started for Sioux City he had lost
forty-tive pounds The cancer had grown
so large that the outlet Of the stomach
into the intcStines was INSTRUCTED In
fact, the man was dying of starvation
when he arrived at the City Hospital
The surgeon found that the man was an
parently in good physical condition, with
the exception OF The cancer and determined

was cut out so as to leave a flring end of
the outlet, and at The lower end WAS cut
off where it narrows to merge into the in
testines. When the stomach had been re-
moved the funnel-Shaped part attached to
the esophagus was stitched so as to form
small sack with small Urifce. Then
came the difficult part of the operation.
This orifice ard the open end of the in
testine had to be joined together in such
a way as to make an air-tiSht and water
tight passage. BY delicate stitching this
was accomplished and the intestinal tract
was once more intact. The wound was
closed and after a few days. in which the

Police Abuses.
From the ST. Paul Globe,

FROM the ST. Paul Globe.
The rebuke administered by Minneapo-
lis judge to the police department for hold
ing persons arrested al police stations with
out alleging any particular offense against
them, and without permitting them TO
communicate with relatives or friends is
well deserved. The practice has become
very general in the large cities of this
country, but il carries with it so serious an
infringement upon the rights of the public
that it ought to be either absolutely pro-
hibited or severely curtaiied. 1t is neces-
sary, of course frequently for proper po-
lice protection TO run in suspects and dam
gerous characters without proof of absolute
guilt against them. Frequently the crooks
that come to town can be controlled
only in this way, and the ounce of pre-
vention will save the public from very
serious loss There is never any possible
excuse, however, as far as one can see, for
refusing to permit person thus held to
communicate freely with relatives or
friends. If he is, as suspected, a mere
vagrant or criminal, this can do no par
ticular harm. He cannot effect his release
merely by talking to friend or lawyer.
If he can get release by notifying friends
who will put up bail, an attorney who
will take the proper legal steps, he is alb
sofutely entitled to this privilege under the
laws of this country The problem of po-
lice government in the cities OF the United
States is a very difficult and discouragfng
one. 1t is necessary 10 confer upon ponce
authorities very large powers, and to trust
their discretion more than formerly We
cannot afford however, TO have arbitrary
or personal government, or to abolish the
primary right OF citizens TO immunity from
arrest without just cause or detention with
out due legal proceedings. The courts
should and will uphold individual rights in
Slch matters

An Improved Sextant.

From the London Globe '-
\ serious defect of the ordinary sextant is
that it measures the altitude of the sun
above the apparent rather than the actual
