MODERN SURGERY.
IL Minute and Elaborate System Of
Sterilization.

IL Minute and Elaborate System Of
Sterilization.
The scene at an operating table In
one Of our hospitals now would make
one Of the old masters Of surgery stare.
The operator himself and all his stan
are dressed like the old holy priests Of
Solomons temple, wearing white caps
and gowns, with the nurses standing
around like priestesses all In spotless
white, while every one about the table
has gone through as many ablutions as
BELTS the occasion of bloody sacrifice
under the auspices of the immaculate
goddess Of cleanliness. A minute aud
elaborate ritual has been observed Of
sterilizlng everything-towels, threads,
needles, forceps, instruments and what
not-while the floor itself is made Of
glass or glazed tiles rather than of
wood. The surgeon himself does not
venture to cut the victim till he has
put on his sterilized gloves, because
he cannot possibly clean his fingers
enough. Should any onlooker take his
hand out Of his pocket to reach for
the gaping wound he would be elected
instanter for spelling the whole per-
formance with his defiling touch.
The results Of this vigllant war
against microbes are simply marvellous
and can be fully appreciated only by
those who, like myself, can remember
the surgery Of former days in hospital
wards and on the attleheld.-Every-
body's Magazine.

HURTS PORTLAND MARKET.
Companies Add Sc
Cents TO Portland Grain Rate.

Cents 10 Portland Grain Rate.
Again the bar OF discrimination has
been placed against Portland In an eff
fort to boost the trade of other coast
ports, says the Oregon Daily Journal.
The steamship rate on wheat from
Portland to San Francisco today is
$3.50 ton, while with a much longer
haul the grain is being carried from
any Puget sound port to the Califor-
MIA city at 50 ton.
This discrimination Of so cents ton
against the port of Portland is causing
much complaint among grain shippers
here and in the south. The dlscrIml-
nation is almost sufficient to stop en-
tirely the flow Of wheat from Portland
to the California market. Had 1t not
heen for the great shortage in the
southern supplies 1t is likely that not
a single bushel would now be shipped
from here to San Francisco because
Of this discrimination.
Represents Profit.
The extra so cents a ton which Port
land wheat shippers are forced to pay
and which in turn may be taken from
the pockets Of the producers, repre-
sents in most instances the total
profits Of the local shippers. With
such a handicap against them the
Portland grain shippers are utterlng
loud complaints and are talking Of
calling a meeting in an effort to rem
edy the matter.
Local grain people are not only
complaining at this time OF the extra
charge which Hartman is imposing
against Portland in the matter OF
wheat shipments. but the interests say
that while the service at the northern
ports Is being made more frequent 1t
was not long ago that the Hartman
clique took off one OF its steamers in
order to further crowd the freight
holds and make a larger profit.
Much Wheat Left Here.
The fact that large per cent Of the
remaining unsold wheat OF the Paci-
fic northwest lies in the Portland ter
ritory is helping Portland tc with
stand the discrimination made against
1t in favor of the northern shippers.
Even with the heavy haul over the
to the Puget sound ports
more wheat is being shipped from
there to the south than ever before.
This condition should be reme-
died" says Mr.. Sanford of Campbell
Sanford & Henley Co. today. "Our
firm is unable to do near as much
business from Portland as 1t should
en- account OF this discrimination in
the freight charge. The handicap is
a very great one and should be taken
away"

Train Robber Caught
With $lO,65O Booty
Sensational Capture Made of
Criminal Who Looted St.
Paul Express Safe

The biggest and most startling Grim
for years was made by Sheriff Robert
Shirley and his deputy, William S.
Wall, at Fallon, New. last Wednesday
when in arresting suspicious charac-
ter they laid hands on one of the par
ticipants of the famous st. Paul ex-
press robbery, in which $4,000 was
taken two years ago. When arrested
the. man had hidden in a false sleeve
s10,65O in national bank notes the
numbers of which correspond with
those of the stolen bills.
Deputy Sheriff Wall arrived in San
Francisco yesterday and told of his re-
markable arrest at the police head
quarters. The robbery of the st. Paul
express was one which electrified the
entire country On the train at the time
was $4,000 in national bank notes.
Shortly after the train left ST. Paul,
Mimi, the money vanished There was
not the slightest clew left by the rob-
bers and the only conclusion to which
the baff1ed authorities could arrive was
that they had boarded the train, looted
the car and quietly dropped off. Until
last Wednesday the affair remained a
mystery. Secret service men, railroad
detectives and private agencies worked
on it for months without result. The
money had simply vanished.
Last Wednesday there appeared in
Fallon q stranger who was more than
usually liberal with his money. He
threw $40 and $40 bills about reck-
lessly and, in the course of a few
hours, attracted the attention of Dep
uty Sheriff Wall, who reported his
misgivings to Sheriff Shirley.
Neither imagined the man was spend
ing the money which had been looted
two years before. Their thought was
that he was passing counterfeit bills
and arrested him for the purpose of
an investigation. Both Shirley and
Wall have regulations as gunner of
the keenest kind, but their ability in
this direction was not enforced at this
arrest. AS Shirley grabbed the man
by the arm, he felt the false sleeve
and in it the stock of bank notes. The
officers took their prisoner to the
county jail, where he was searched
When his coat was removed the false
sleeve was revealed and the officers
found S10650 in national bank notes
sewed in it.
=. An examination of the records in the
sheriff's Office revealed the fact that the
serial numbers of these notes were iden-
tical with those of the $4,000 stolen
in the famous st. Paul train robbery.
When this fact was announced to the
prisoner he became very sullen and re-
fused to give his name. He said, how
ever, that the money was given to him
by a man, whose name he does not
know. The suspect is tall, light com
piexioned and we'll dressed.
The ST. Paul police authorities have
been notified and they will send ONT
a deputy to take the man back for
trial. Deputy Sheriff Wall will return
to Fallon today.

Masked Thugs Hold Up
and Rob Saloon
TerrOrize Six Men and Make
Escape Through FuSiIIade
of Revolver Shots

Threatening their victims with in
slant death if they dared to utter a
sound, two masked and heavily armed
men held up the saloon of John Hard
ing at the southeast corner of Cough
and Fell streets last night and, after
robbing the proprietor and five of his
customers, escaped from three police
men who chased them for several
blocks
The victims and their losses were:
John Harding, s222 in money and jew
elry to the value of $500; H. E. Pyley,
who lives over the saloon. $40; William
E. Gilbert. Pacific and Stockton streets.
s34 in money and some jeweIry; s. E.
Hall, Stockton hotel, gold watch and
chain and a few dollars in money;
George Loesch. 165 Franklin street. s2S
in money and a gold watch and chain.
and Bert Morrison. Cough and Page
streets, S11 in money and an Eagles
emblem set with several diamonds
The robbers came into the saloon at
about 11:30 o'clock. Harding was be-
hind the bar at the time and he was
the first to notice that they were
volver, but one of the robbers antici-
pated his intention and instantly both
men leyeled their automatic revolvers
at him and his customers, ordering
them to throw up their hands While
one of the holdup men held the six men
at bay the other stepped behind the
bar and rified the cash register of $I62.
The masked searcher then proceeded
to go through the clothing of those who
hpinO covered W fG
Only a few minutes was consumed in
searching their victims, and after again
threatening death If one of them left
the saloon inside of 15 minutes the rob-
bers ran from the place
AS soon as they departed Harding
ran to the back of his saloon and blew
police whistle. Policemen Thomas Col
lier. John Nolan and Antoine Schoembs
heard the blasts from the whistle and
came running up to the saloon. less
than a minute after the robbers had
left. They were seen running down
Fell street and the officers gave chase
Several shots were fired after them bv
the patrolmen and the chase lasted for
several blocks.
The efforts of the policemen to cap
ture them were futile. The robbers
separated at Haight and Market streets
and it is thought that they jumped on
a car.
One of the fellows dropped a black
hat and the police hope to be able TO
identify him through the marks in the
hat. One wore a light suit and a light
broad brimmed hat, and the other was
dressed in a black suit and wore a
black stiff hat. Chief Biggy assigned
several of the detectives to search the
city for the robbers.

Asks Bryan to Retire
and Save Party
Herman Ridder of New York
Tells NebraSkan He viii
Oppose Nomination

LINCOLN, Neb., July 3.-William ].
Nebraska Travelingmen's Bryan's club
made the significant statement that un-
less the Denver convention incorpo-
rated in its platform a campaign pub
licity plank it might look elsewhere
than to Nebraska for a candidate for
president. Bryan took occasion also to
say that the platform will be written
by the resolutions committee and not
by him, although he would insist on
certain planks being inserted in case
he was nominated to head the ticket.
The stream of callers and of letters
all expressive of the best wishes for
Bryan's political future, was inter
rupted today when Herman Ridder. ed
itor of the New York Stats Zeitung,
called at Fairview and asked Bryan to
withdraw from the contest in favor of
some democrat who would win"
Ridder told Bryan in as many words
that he would oppose him openly at
the Denver convention, but in the
event of his being named to head the
ticket that the Stats Zeitung and Rid
der personally would support the
ticket
Ridder told Bryan that 1t was a mat
ter for the serious consideration of the
latter whether or not he would accept
a third nomination and wreck the
chances of the democratic party to elect
its ticket at the coming election.
II do not believe you can carry New
York state If you are nominated" said
Ridder.
II cannot agree with you" said
Bryan, but. even though 1 am unable
elected. without the electoral vote of
New York"
Asked how Bryan took the PROPOSE
tion to withdraw from the race for the
presidential nomination, Ridder said
he smiled, but gave no direct reply.
