| Cedar Rapids Republican: A Bos-
ton doctor of some standing has made
new sensation He calls the cutting
out of the appendix criminal
operation and he seems to be of the
opinion that men who perform such
ceremonies ought to be criminally in

two recent deaths, CLYDE Fitch, the
play writer, and John A. Johnson, the
governor Of Minnesota. 1t was the
third operation on the Minnesota gov

in his profession. will call forth ex-

statements of Or. Murphy of Chicago,

appendicitis was absolutely necessary
in many contingencies and that the
delaying of the operation meant death.
That life could in every instance be
saved by the operation, he did not

THE LATE GEORGE 9. smyTHE

| THE LATE GEORGE g. SMYTHE.
A once strong man to whom Keo-
kuk owes much and whom it will long
hold in grateful appreciation passed
away when George B. Smytha closed
his eyes in death at the home of his
daughter in this city yesterday morn
ing. No stronger man in his time put
forth his best efforts in behalf of his
home town, nor did any one ever
achieve a larger degree of success.
There were giants In those days" in
keokuk when Mr.. Smythe was at his
best and he measured 10 to the full
stature of the greatest of them
More than this, he gave a larger
share of his time and talents to the
advancement of the interests of the
community than any of his contempt
rarles and thereby earned the public
gratitude in an exceptional degree.
1t is no eXaggeration to saw that
during the period of his activities he

president Of the old Des Moines Valley
railroad; as mayor and later as fin
ancial agent of the city in settling the
city's debt Mr.. Smythe exerted himself
to the utmost for the promotion of the
public good. He was a man of sp,en-
did business Judgment and great ex
ecutlye capacity and his success in
private and public effort alike was
commensurate with his qualifications
and deserts. His greatest achieve
ment undoubtedly was refunding an
immense city debt of something like
100000 into an obligation of $780,
0oe 1t required real genius to bring
this about but Mr.. Smythe was equal
TO the emergency. He was given
carte blanche in the matter and right
nobly did he discharge the trust re-
posed in him.
In addition to serving term as
mayor Of Keokuk Mr. Smythe was
government director of the Union Pa.
