MANS HEART TAKEN OUT.
Interesting Surgical Feat Performed
In PhjIadeIphla,

Philadelphia, Sept. 26-The re-
moval of mans beating heart from
his body and its replacement after a
bullet had been extracted from the
region adjacent to 1t has been &C,
complished by the physicians at the
Germantown hospital.
Frank Robinson, % years old, OF
Germantown, was shot on Sept. Z by
Policeman Morley, while the latter
was trying to arrest him. The bullet
entered Robinson's chest on the left
side. He was hurried to the German.
town hospital, where it was believed
his heart had been struck.
Some of the most eminent physi.
clans OF, the city were called into con.
sultation. Portions of two ribs were
removed, exposing the heart to view
No evidence of a bullet could be seen
so the surgeon with great care part
ly removed the organ from the body
The bullet was found imbedded In
the flesh within fraction of an inch
of the heart, upon which 1t had caused
pressure. The heart was then replac
ed and the ribs returned and covered
Nth flesh. There Is every probability
that Robinson will entirely recover.

AMEND SOLDIERS LAW.
Will be the Course If the Supreme
Court Withhods Opinion.

Des Moines, Sept. 26. = The failure
of the supreme court to hand down a
decision in the soldiers preference
law case from Marshalltown, during
the first week Of the reconvened SEES
sion, leads those especially interested
in the case to speculation as to wheth-
fore the legislature convenes.
If no opinion is filed before the ses-
sion opens in January it is not unlike
ly that a movement will be undertake
en- to secure amendments to the law
which will meet the objections raised
against it and which were the basis
for the adverse decision of Judge Cas-
well of Marshall county.
If these objections which were car
ried to the supreme court in argument
were met by suitable amendments to
the law, it is supposed that the deci-
sion of the supreme court would lose
it's significance so far as cases dissim-
liar to the Marshalltown case are con
cerned.
One of the objections referred to,
was the fact that the law applies sole
ly to veterans Of the civil war and
does not include other soldiers This
is the point on which the technical
claim of class legislation Is based.
Other objections Of like character are
made and could be met by amend
ments to the law without discounting
the real purpose of the law. The vet
Grams who were anxious to see the
law adopted and enforced without OBJ
lection, hoped to have the veterans
of the civil war, only, included in it,
because of it's purpose to give them
the preference. the veterans Of later
wars being perfectly able to get along
without preference such as that con-
templated in the law now being tested.
But if the decisions Of the supreme
court on the Marshalltown case is
withheld until the legislature con-
venes they will feel that the law is
in grave danger at the hands Of the
court, in its present shape and will
consent to the amendments to which
reference is made.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
BODY at Frank Callahan Found In the
River Below Des Moines.


Des Moines, Sept. 26. The dead
body of Frank Callahan of Peosta was
found in the Des Moines river eight
miles below the city. Evidence points
to the belief that he was the victim Of
murderers or drowning.
The circumstances surrounding his
death are nearly parallel to those Of
the Griswold case and the connection
between the two is so marked as to
shatter the suspicion that the myster-
les might be but mere condolences.
Frank Callahan disappeared from
Des Moines last Tuesday night. He
was last seen at the Rock Island de-
pot at $3.50 o'clock in the evening,
and since then all trace of him has
been absolutely lost, although his faith
er with the aid Of private detectives
has been securing the state for him.
His body taken from the river was
a sickening reminder Of the Griswold
tragedy. 1t was so bloated as to MAKE
identification of the features almost
an impossbility The left temple was
apparently crushed in, as though from
a blow with heavy blunt instru-
ment

the message, but since the adjourn

been writing the data into definite
form. The message will not be COM

construction of the Panama canal, and
the conclusion of peace between Russia

the discussion of these subjects Presi-
