OLD TIME SURGEONS
Tiscy Had to Work Rapidly Bego
Ansesth etics Were Used.

Tiaey Had to Woris Rapidly Berore
Anesthetics Were Used.
Before anTSthetics were known the
surgeons only expedient was to abridge
his patients sulfernss by working
rapidly In this the old time surgeons
did wonders. They had control and Il
surety in their hands that are now sell
dom found. One day the celebrated
surgeon Maisonneure had to amputate
the leg of poor devil who began TO
howl in advance. "Ill give you my
watch" said the surgeon, "if the oper-
alton lasts more than a minute" The
man accepted the offer, but was obliged
to forego the handsome watch, as the
operation took less time than it re-
quires to describe.
To amputate an arm at the shoulder
is most difficult operation. DR.. Lam
genbeck of Germany did it in two min
utes. A young physician who came 20
see him perform the operation adjusted
his spectacles to his nose so as not To-
lose a single movement but when the
spectacles were in place the operation
was over, ANA tlle ScNereu arm ld2 Olt
the floor
Times have changed much since then.
It sufiices to put a bit of chloroform or
ether on compress and let the patient
breathe through it for few minutes
to put him into a slumber so deep that
he remains inert while the surgeon
makes his incision. cuts. files the bone
and sews up the flesh. On awaking the
operation is over, and the patient
knows nothing of it, Thanks to chloro-
form. surgeons can practice operations
today which arouse our admiration.

Father of Young Maze Writes
the Police.
He Does Not Believe His Son Would
Have Killed
Himself.
BUT THE MAN WAS HIS SON.

A letter was received at police head
quarters this morning from Andrew
Maze, of Balmoral, Belfast, Ireland,
father Of Robert Maze, the young
machinist who committed suicide
here September 18th at the /. @. hos
pital by hanging himself in the toilet
room.
Being ignorant Of the circumstances
of his sons death the father doubts
that it is his son, since he was
a young man OF sober, industrious
habits and he does not believe that he
would have committed suicide. The
description he gives of his son, how
ever, corresponds with that of tho
young man who died here, and he was
undoubtedly the same.
The father says that the last he
heard of his son was last May, when
he was in Canada, and that he said he
was coming West. He came here
early in the summer. 1t will be re-
called that he committed suicide while
recovering from an attack of typhoid
fever at the hospital, and the despond-
ency which frequently follows this
illness is supposed to have been the
cause of his rash act. His father not
knowing of this suggests foul play,
which IF course is absurd in view OF
the facts attending the young mans
death.
The police are confident that the
young man who died here was The
son Of the man whose letter was re-
ceived today for several reasons, prin-
cipally because he came her from Can
ada. where his father says he was
when he last heard from him, because
he sends the description and also
because of the name. The only dis
crepancy is that the father says the
young mans name was Robert Maze.
while at the hospital and it is record
ed as Albert Maze, q mistake that ia
often made in getting names Of sick
patients when they are ad nitted to
such institutions. The father will be
notified by the police that the dead
man was undoubtedly his son.

CITING WARNER
FROST REPORTED BUT NO DAM
AGE DONE.

A reporter who went through market
this morning found few farmers who
claimed to have seen light frost AZ
they came to town before sun mp this
morning, while many declared there
was no frost.
The lowest temperature registered
in the city, according to the official
record, was so degrees. which made
frost impossible in the city, at least.
Observer Bornemann doubts that there
was frost either last night or the night
before anywhere in this section. There
was heavy dew, which may have been
mistaken for frost. Even il there
were frost, however, il did no dam
age.
