late Mrs. Mcshech A. Browning, of
Kitzmiller.
The unfortunate man at the time Of
the accident and for a year or more
prior thereto held the position Of su-
perintendent of the Hamill Coal Com

north side of the river, to the railway

ing the votes of the miners IN his home
county and claims to be able to defeat
Colonel Pearre in AlIegany.
The Republican candidate pursues
the even tenor of his way inEmaking a
thorough canvass Of his district and,
judged by the attendants at the meet
ings held in Garrett and Allegany coun-
ties, he has nothing to fear from his OPP
ponent. Lewis will lose the votes of
many Of the leading Democrats in the
district, who regard him as a Populist.
He will be fortunate indeed if he carries
as much as one county.

USES ELECTRICITY
FOR ANESTHETIC
Physician Demonstrates That

Dog Becomes Unconscious by
Application of Six Volts
From Street Supply

NEW YORK. May 1e.-Before a
gathering Of homeopathic physicians in
Flower hospital, DR.. william S. King,
dean OF the homeopathic college, sub
3ected a dog TO an electric current to
demonstrate that electricity can be
used successfully in place Of ether or
chloroform as an anesthetic. DR.. VIII
liam Dinenbach assisted DR.. King.
Drs. King and Dinenbach got a
black and tan terrier IN good health,
shaved the hair of the top OF his head
and back near the tail above the lum-
bar region. An electrode was ap-
piled on his head and the other on
the back and an intermittent current
OF little more than six volts was
turned on. The current was from the
regular street supply, modified in the
specially constructed apparatus used.
In IS seconds the dog was uncon-
scious. He could be handled without
the least danger Of awakening him.
No operation was performed. OF
course. the somnolence continues only
so long as the electrodes are kept in
place. When they were removed the
dog almost instantly regained con-
scfousness. was as lively as before

examination could not discover the
least i'll effect. DR.. Dihenbach said:
'It is the intermittency OF the cur
rent that produces the somnolence
which makes II possible to perform
operations without the least pain to
the patient or the least after effect It
IS the after effect which makes many
persons hesitate or refuse to take ether
or chlorofOrm. There are no after ef
fects in the use OF the intermittent
current.
