BACK FROM DEATH.
Employee of Gas Company at Cieve-
land Restored to Life.


Cleveland, O., Oct. 24.-Dead from as
phyxiation, Edward Schilling, living at
III Weymer street, an employee of the
East Ohio Gas company, was restored
to life last night at Mount Sinai hospi-
tai by the use of adrenalin. He was as
phyxiated at five o'clock last night and
was taken three miles to a hospital. He
was dead when he arrived there.
The house physician, believing the
case to be hopeless, but ready to take
a desperate chance cut the clothes from
the body and with the aid of nurses
commenced artificial respiration. Fiji
teen, twenty, thirty minutes elapsed and
there was no sign of life; the body was
cold, there was no heart action, nor sign
of respiration.
Then three physicians gave the body
cson in the arm One doctor massag-
ed the heart. while the other two con-
tinued with artificial respiration. An
hour elapsed before any sign of life was
evident through faint fluctuation of
action of the respiration muscles.
This process was continued for three

adrenalin was given. When natural
respiration was set up powerful stimu-
lants were administered. At noon today

over Schillings face. "From the time

physicians, said tonight:

impossibility to bring a man back to

if there does not exist in the bodies of
persons we call dead atoms of energy on

ofthe Northern Pacific.
From Tuesdays Daily.

from TUESDAY Daily.
Edward j. Cannon. well known at
torney of st. Paul, and who has many
friends in Mankato, has been appointed
division counsel of the Northern Pacific
road, with headquarters. at Spokane,
Wash, and will assume his new duties
Jan. /.
1t is understood that the post carries
with it salary of $500 per annum.
Mr. Cannon. although a young man,
has made big strides in his profession
and during the past few years has built
up very lucrative practice.
During the last session of the legisla-
ture, as the attorney of some of the
manufacturing interests of the state he
presented the views of that side before
the railroad committees OH the recip-
rocal demurrage and other pending
measures. So well did he acquit himself
that he attracted the notice of the Off
Gals of the roads interested in that liti-
CATION, and undoubtedly the honor now
conferred upon him comes from the tai
ent he displayed at that time, coupled
with MS success in other important
matters before the district and supreme
courts.
The law business of Mr.. Cannon. i'm
St Paul, will be conducted by James
Manahan and a brother, John Cannon.
