Removal of the Stomach.

The operation of removing the ston-
ach has now been successfully per-
formed over 20 times. The stomach
really plays only small part in the
complex act of digestion, its principal
use being that of reservoir. Hence
it is that without this organ meals have
to be taken inconveniently often and un-
usually small.

After Sam Whites
Scalp

Baker City Democrats have opened
war, But it is among themselves.
They fred the first gun last Satur-
day, and the two factions think the
other side is badly hit. The entire
fight is over the district attorneys of
fee. Foxy Grandpa Messick thinks he
got in a blow below the belt.
But wait and see" said Gloomy
Gus White.
They wrangled for over two hours
Saturday over the fixing Of the date
for holding the county convention,
and the primaries. The friends of.
White wanted it early, but the friends
of Messlck wanted it late. Messick's
friends finally won through the ora
tory ahS good counting of the chair
man.
Chairman Saxton was the orator
of the day. Whenever any n spoke
he arose and said it was an important
question, as "a sort Of an excuse
TO make a speech, ana then he launch
ed forth and told them all about il.
Then sCme other fellow would at
tempt to show them how II was, and
thea SaXton would speak again. After
the matter had gone on for two hours
in this manner, Saxton replying TO
all comers and goers, he arose and
made another speech, and closed the
speech-making by saying:
Gentlemen, we have talked enough
on this question" and he put the mat
ter to a vote.
BY good counting and mixing the
amendments and counter amendments
the 14th was finally selected as the
date for holding the county conven,
ton and the 9th was the date fixed
for holding the primaries.
Messick and his friends smiled
blandly, as If to say, Look at us; we
got first blood"
"The vote had nothing to do with
the final termination OF the race for
the district a~ttorneyship," said the
White adherents.
"Messick has been out in the coun-
try for a week getting proxies from
committeeman who did not care TO at.
tend the meeting, or who could not
conveniently do so, and by this
succeed in fixing the date Of the coun.
ty convention, by a majority, posi-
bly, Of two votes. It don't spell any

st. Petersburg, Nov. 14.-The condi-

the deepest gloom, to pervade the ~oh'
cial circles Of the capital. It:has been
fondly believed here that the fortress
was :impregnable, and as ,stoessek sue;
ceeded il holding out from month to
month this belief has increased. ~:..s .], ::
The methods adopted by the enemy
OF digging trenches to approach the
fort has caused not a, little disappoint-
'ment here, as it makes any mining
plans that Stoessel had laid abortive.
It is almost waste Of good powder
to explode mines under4a; handful OF
soldiers engaged in tunneling, and in
q sense works for the benefit of the
enemy, for though they suffer the loss
of possibly 4 score OF men the re-
sulting explosion accomplishes for
them an amount Of tunneling that
would otherwise consume weeks.
The city Is fairly well prepared to
hear Of the fall of the fortress, and 1t
will not come as any surprise. 1t will
only bring more sharply to the fore
the question, what is to become OF
the Baltic fleet?"
1t is certain that If this ill-starred
armada does not blow itself up, It will
reach the vicinity of Port Arthur
about the 1st Of February, and with
the fortress in the hands of the jap
anese there will be no port for it but
