Took Stitches in Man S Heart.

For 20 minutes the pulssting heart OF
William Wyatt, negro, who had been
stabbed in struggle over knife, was
held in the hands of two physicians at
The Pennsylvania Hospital in Philsdel'
phis on Saturday night while DR.. Rich
ard Hsrt, the hospital surgeon, sewed
six stitches in the organ and then re-
placed it in the mans body. Wyatt,
who was at first thought TO have been
fatally injured, WAS reported to be rest
ing comfortably yesterday and the phy'
sicisns believe the operation MAS success
fol.
II WAS the third time that such q deli
cate operation has been performed in
PhiladeIphia. When Or. Hart examined
the negro be knew there Was just about
one chance in a thousand of saving his
life that chance was 10 performing an
operation on the negro's heart. He
consulted with the other physicians and
the operation was decided upon.
Wyatt was etherized and DR.. Hart
made long incisiou in the negro's left
side, sufficiently large for the surgeon to
plunge his hand inside and take out The
mans heart. He placed the organ
upon the Outstrelched palms OF two as
sistants, and there it lay throbbing
vigorously as it sent the blood conrsing
through the arteries OF the negro's body.
An examination showed that the knife
had inflicted wound in the organ
measuring an inch and quarter in
length. Fortunately, the injury WAS on
one side and had missed the big arteries.
DR.. Hart was compelled TO sew sl1
stitches in the organ.
This had TO be done very slowly and
carefully, and in order that the heart
action should not be interfered with the
surgeon was compelled TO make the
stitches between the pulsstions. When
the operation WAS concluded the heart
was put back 10 place and the external
wound sewed up. Although the negro
lost 8 considerable quantity of blood, his
recovery is looked tor.

The decree was read in the morning.
The Pope deceuded to the bssilica in the
afternoon and venerated Bonaventure's S
relics. Owing to rumor that snarch-

SUPPLY OF CREAM is SHORT
Farmers Not Shipping so Much to
Beatrice Comapny.

The Beatrice Creamery company is
not getting as large supply of cream
now as il secured from the same
territory in Nebraska at this time last
year. No explanation that is fully
acceptable has been offered for this
decrease of the amount offered by the
farmers of the state. One theory is
that farmers are making SO much
money at other farm work that they
have neglected to a certain extent the
dairy business. Dairying is carried
as sideline on many Nebraska farms,
and it is from actual farmers that the
greater supply of cream is secured.
