ment, the method. Less than thirty
minutes were required for the entire
operation. The thought of 1t, the ina
gination, play the havoc. The fact it
self is not SO terrible. There is little
blood and the danger does not seem
apparent as one looks at the conh-
dent faces of the surgeons.
The next case was the removal OF
a cancerous growth from the intes-
tines. The patient was a young wo-
man and her relatives accompanied
her into the operating room. The sur
geon proceeded even more quickly in
this case than the first one. The in
testine was exposed and the diseased
portion cut away with a few quick
snips of the scissors. Then the need
les and thread came into play again.
The dressing of this wound was very
careful and elaborate.
In both these cases the surgeons
were engaged in a contest with death.
Nature had succumbed to deadly
disease and the knife came to her aid.
After the operating table comes the
iron cot, the care of the nurses wnlle
nature again takes up the fight for the
recovery of health. Death sometimes
wins in spite of surgeon and nurses,
but the per cent of success in terrible
cases like the two referred to above
is marvelously great.

HARMONY BOARD MEETS
Trying to Devise Plans TO stop Clash
Among State schools.

The committee appointed by Cover
nor Hoch to work out some plans to
overcome the friction between the
State university, Agricultural college
and normal school Is holding a session
in Governor Hoch's office this after
noon. The committee is composed of
the following:
J. w. Gleed and T. NJ. Potter for the
university.
A. NJ Story and Edwin Taylor for
the Agricultural college.
L. b. Kellogg and NJ. F. Amrine for
the normal school.
This committee was appointed after
the meeting of the regents and officers
OF the three schools with Governor
Hoch a month ago. This meeting was
a sort of harmony council called to see
IL plans could not be devised to stop
the friction between the three schools.
At that meeting 1T was decided that d
committee should work out some plans
and report at another meeting to be
held in the fall The committee was
given three propositions to consider.
One was in regard to the revision of
the law SO as to clearly define the
fields of each institution and promote
the efficiency of each. The second pro-
position was as to whether or not the
MANAGEMENT of the three institutions
should be placed in the hands of one
board with power to prevent duplica
tion of work. The other question SUBJ
nitted was as to whether it would be
possible to put the three schools under
one head and how it should be worked
out
The members of the committee have
had these questions under considera-
ton for several weeks and the meet
4 ing today is to see what each school
thinks about them, get line on the
different ideas and determine on what
on to make up a report to be submit

WOOLLEY COMING HOME
Leaves Superintendency of Hawaiian Anti
Saloon League to Return to the States
Tribute to Work Done

Honolulu, April 21-(Special correspond
ence)-The Hon. John G. Woolley, who since
August of last year, has served as superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League in the territory of
Hawaii, sails today upon his return to the main
land. Yesterday the League held meeting at
which it adopted the following testimonial to Mr..
Woolley's work in this territory:
In bidding farewell to the Hon. John G.
Wooley, its superintendent since August 1907,
the Anti Saloon League of Hawaii hereby ex
presses its deep appreciation of the remarkable
work accomplished by him during the few months
he has been with us. Coming to these islands
in ignorance of the peculiar conditions existing
here, Mr.. Woolley set about his campaign in the
quietest fashion, rapidly acquainted himself with
the situation and disappointed both the opponents
of temperance and the lukewarm good people
by making no mistakes, by inaugurating noisy
propaganda, and by addressing himself to the
strategic points.
With rare tact he cooperated with the liquor
commissioners so helpfully that he led them to
see the wisdom of the policy of not licensing

NEBRASKA CONVENTION
Official Call to Prohibition Workers for Rally
at Lincoln

PRoHIBITIoNIsTs OF NEBRASKA GREETING:
Never in history has the Prohibition senti-
ment been so prevalent the outlook for the
destruction of the American saloon
couraging than at the present time 1t there
fore behooves to put forth greater efforts in
this our own state of Nebraska for the abolition
of this evil
1t is with this object in view that the state
ecutive committee is sending out this call to the
Prohibitionists of the state to meet in state
convention at Lincoln, Nebraska, on June and
9, 1905 for the purpose of selecting delegates
to represent the state of Nebraska in the ma
tional convention to be held at Columbus, Ohio,
the fifteenth day of July, 1908, and for the
transaction of any other business that may come
before the convention
1t is the intention of the committee to make
this the best state convention in the history of
the Prohibition parry in the state of Nebraska.
The talent used will be of the best in the United
States The Hon. w, t. Bundick of Onancock,
Virginia, and the Kings Daughters Quartet of
Streator, Illinois, as we'll as some of our own tai
ent will appear on the program, making it in
every way worthy the attention of the temper
ance people of Nebraska
Urging you to be present at and participate in
the work of this convention and thus by your
presence and council aid in the carrying
of this great work, remain,
Yours for Prohibition in Nebraska,

Long Sojourn in the Hawaiian Islands
saloons not demanded by public opinion, and
made clear the need of strengthening the present
law at several points to safeguard the public
veal. Inaugurating a campaign throughout the
public and private schools of the territory all of
which, with a few exceptions, he visited and
addressed, he carried the temperance question
into the homes of the people with the result that
over six thousand children, with the consent
of their parents registered themselves against
alcoholic drinks This movement was carried
on most quietly with no spectacular features,
and, if followed up promises more for temper
in the Islands than anything ever before
attempted.
By personal intercourse with men, Mr.. Wooley
has won over some notable recruits to the Anti
Saloon forces, and his facile pen has had due
share in causing the pervasive change Of senti-
ment throughout the territory against the liquor
curse. His coming has marked an epoch in the
progress of this reform here. His wisdom in not
doing many things that people expected him to
do, his unerring insight into what the local situa
ton demanded, and his making good in supply
ing the demand have rendered his services on
behalf OF social uplift in Hawaii invaluable
Our League relnquishes him to the mainland
with keen regret SO far as Our Islands are con-
cerned, but with joyful anticipations of the part
he will be called upon to play in the larger field
before him.

Shortly after her marriage, in 1881.
her husband took her among the senior
officers of one OF the regiments of which
he was honorary colonel, and without
any formality introduced her with the
words:
Gentlemen, the colonel in command
of this regiment wishes to introduce his
wife to you"
Ever sinc that time she has been
known as the colonel's wife,"
