MANUNDERWENT
AN OPERATION
FRANK SCHMIDT AT HOSPITAL
WITH INJURED FoOT-NO
AMPUTATION MADE.

Frank Schmidt, an employee of the
Ostdiek brick yard for the past ten
years, underwent an operation on the
right foot at the hospital this morning.
He was taken to the hospital from his
home near Calvary cemetery yester.
day afternoon. 1t, was feared that he
would lose his foot, but the operation
OF this morning obviated the necessity
of anNamputation.
Mr.. Schmidt had not complained of
the foot having given him much trou.
BILE until short time ago, and was I'm.
able to determine what the ailment
was. He injured the member about 8
year ago, but did not pay any atten
ton to it at the time and soon forget
about the injury, as it ceased troub.
ling him until short time ago. He
worked continually, thinking that he
suffered from rheumatism, until it be
came imperative that something be
done to alleviate the severe pain
from the member.
Upon examination it was found that
the bones of the foot were injured
and an operation was performed this
morning. Some bones of the foot were
removed and the member was saved
from amputation, which was thought
would be necessary. He Is doing nice
ly since the operation.

To the English victors of Havana
belonged the spoils, and very rich and
important these were.
Besides the nine Spanish men-of-war
found intact in the harbor, which
added to the three sunk at the en-
trance and to one or two others cap
tured outside in the course of the op-
erations formed about one-6fth Of the
naval power of Spain and seriously
crippled her for the rest Of the war,
no less an amount than 100000 was
realized in prize money by the cap
ture of this wealthy city. OF this
great sum we are told that Albemarle
and Pocock as commanding respective
" the land and sea forces received no
less than f122,697 each, while Commo-
dore KeppePs share amounted to as
much as f24, $50, and doubtless his
brother, Major General Keppel, receiv-
ed an almost equal sum. Thus the
Keppel family benefited by this expe-
dition to the tune of considerably over
f150,OOO and it is recorded that Cen
eral Elliott with his share Of the prize
money purchased the estate Of Heath
field, In Sussex, from which he after
ward took his title. Such were the
solid rewards obtainable in war in the
eighteenth century, when the profess
sion of arms was for the successful
soldier considerably more lucrative
tan 1t is today.

"Act kind O. crazy, reckon" said
the neighbor.
"Well, faint so much that" admit
