TOOK CANCER FROM HIS HAND
Two Pieces of Skin on DIR.
StOVer's Wounds.

BOSTON, Mass.-Dr. Charles AL
len Porter, assistant professor of sur
gerry at Harvard Medical School and
Visiting Surgeon to the Massachu-
sets General Hospital, a short time
ago removed twenty-five cancerous
growths from the hands and wrists
of a noted physician and grated
twenty-five different pieces of the
latter's skin over the wounds. All
the CRAFTS took effect and the oper-
alton was successful.
The patient was a fellow practi-
toner, DR.. George II. Slower of Den
yer, Col, widely known as a special
list in X-ray work.
The skin used in the process of
grating was sliced off the arms OF
the patient, and each piece was fitted
to the wounds with the utmost care,
so that they would fit the raw sur
faces perfectly, terminating in thin
bevelled edges. The operation re-
quired upward of three hours for
completion, an unusual period.
DR.. Slower came to Boston as a
final resort to obtain relief, and his
life will be saved as result of the
surgical triumph.
In speaking of the case DR.. Porter
said: THE real secret of success in
such an operation lies in making the
gratis take. The X-rays render the
skin, when long exposed, premature
ly old, bringing about a condition
similar to that of a person so or 90
years Of age afflicted with external
cancer. If a young person We're eX-
posed to the rays sufficiently long
precocious senility would set in at
the point Of exposure and he would
have sores very favorable to tie
growth of cancer"

10000 INDIAN LAND SUITS
Judge Holds That Civilized Tribes
Are Citizens, and Tides Obtained
From Them Are Good.

MUSKOGEE, Okla.-Federal Judge
Ralph E. Campbell yesterday sus-
tanned the demurrers of defendants
in 10000 Indian land alienation
suits brought by the government
The action by the government was
ordered dismissed
The court held that the titles OBJ
tanned from the Indians before the
act removing restrictions went into
effect are good,
Alienation suits were brought by
the government in the interest of the
Five Civilized Tribes. 1t is estimated
that about 100000 acres of land
were involved in the suits.
The defendants in the suits who
claimed title to the land by reason
of purchase from the Indians are
scattered throughout the United
States and some reside in Scotland
and Mexico.
United States Senator Robert
Owen was a defendant in $50 cases.
and Chief Justice Williams of the
supreme court of Oklahoma was also
a defendant.
Judge Campbell in his decision in
sisted tina, the act of congress con-
ferring statehood on Oklahoma, in
Guiding old Indian territory, con-
ferred citizenship, both state and
national, on all members of the Civ
ilized Tribes
The court held that the contention
of the government that the Indians
still occupy the position of wards
under the government, and that the
latter has the right to sue for their
protection presents an anomaly.
The distinctive difference between
these suits and the Muscogee town
lots cases is that the land in the
present controversy had been allotted
to the Indians in several cases, sub
ject to the removal of restrictions,
and was purchased by the defendants
before such removal. In the town
lot cases the lots belonged to the
Greek Indians, and had never been
allotted to individuals,

LAWYERS ARE UP A TREE
ATTORNEYS FOR j. w. CABANISS
ASK JUDGE TO HELP THEM.

Whipple Refuses to Instruct Solicitor
to Give Them Information in
Making Record of Evidence.
MACON, Ga.-The attorneys for
the defense in the case of the state
VS.. ]. W. Cabaniss are ''stumped, +"
as the small boy would express it.
In more advanced language they are
confronted with a serious PROPOSE
ton. In slang they are up against
it," This state of affairs was brought
about yesterday when Judge U. V.
Whipple declined to pass an order in
structing Solicitor Grace to designate
what portions of the documentary
evidence submitted during the Caba-
Mss trial should be copied and made
portion of the brief of evidence
that must be submitted to the court
not later than August 18th.
According to the petitioners, who
are the several attorneys for Mr.. j.
w. Cabaniss, the documentary evil
trial is composed of the 1876 bank
books that had to be carted in drays
to the court house. Some of these
books weigh over forty pounds, and
unless the defense can decide just
what excerpts from these books are
the best needed to aid their side of
the case they may have to have all of
them copied.
Judge Whipple declined to ask the
Solicitor to point out the valuable
portions of these bank records as
evidence, as he very probably took
the position that 1T was up to the
defense to decide this question, and
that he could not be expected to
guide them in their preparations for
the hearing of the amended motion
for new trial. Judge Whipple
never mentioned the petition of the
attorneys for the defense to Solicitor
Grace at ali, and decided the ques-
ton himself and without delaying
matters. Yesterday afternoon the
petition of the attorneys for Mr.. Cab
aniss was returned by Judge Whip
pie to the superior court and is now
ON file.
A large portion of the material
contained in the 1876 books of the
bank was used as evidence during
the hearing, and both the state and
the defense used portions of it. 1t
is now up to the defense to select
that portion of the evidence in the
books which will best aid their side
of the case. The state will probably
look after it's own side of the work,
but there will be no understanding
between the two sides as what is to
be used and what is to be omitted
The attorneys for Mr. Cabaniss are
j. H, Hall, w. D. Nottingham, GUSTS
Nottingham, M, FELTON, Hatcher and
Roland Bills.

WHO Is THE CONVICT?
Story of an Unpardoned Zebra in
the Senate Is Interesting.

the Senate Is Interesting.
Who is the unpardoned ex-convict
in the Georgia state senate? That
is the question that IS now being
asked in the capitol and by those in
Atlanta interested in the McLendon
controversy, says a dispatch.
This interest in whether or not
the senate contains an unpardoned
ex-convict is caused by story from
Atlanta in the Rome Tribune-Hera
to the effect that Mr. McLendon may
contest the action of the legislature
in outing him on the grounds that
one of the senators voting to turn
him out is an eX-convict who has
never been pardoned and who is dis
qualified to mold the Office of sena-
tor.
So far this alleged eX-convict has
not been pointed out, and members
of the upper branch of the legisla-
ture are wondering who, if anybody
there, once wore stripes.

WOMAN FOUND SNAKE IN BED.
Awakened by Reptile Crawling Over
Her Face. She Killed It.

back of her pillow. Thinking it was
an insect of some kind she thought
no more of the matter and went to

her face. Reaching up to her fore
head she was Mortified to find a snake
crawling over her face. Grabbing
it with a shrek she hurled the rep
tile across the room. Arising she
found the snake lying in a corner OF
the room and killed it with a cane.

THE MIGRATION OF RATS
ABNORMAL NUMBERS HAVE
BEEN SEEN ON THE MARCH.
Multitudes of Them Spread Over Sew
eraI Counties of Illinois. In
XasiOn and Vast Destruction.

Multitudes of Them Spread Over Sew
eraI Counties of Illinois. In
VasiOn and Vast Destruction.
Few people are aware of tn,
strange fact that in nearly all coun-
tries in the spring rats move from
their homes in houses and barns to
the open helds, and that the return
movement takes place when the first
frost of autumn is in the air. Not
alone in the country districts does
this hold true, but even in towns
and cities the rodents move out" in
the spring and return to their old
haunts in the fall after a summer
season spent in the great out-of-
doors.
More general movements of rats
often occur. In 1903 a multitude of
migrating rats spread over several
counties of western Illinois. They
were noticed especially in Mercer
and Rock Island counties. For sew
eral years prior to this invasion no
abnormal numbers were seen, and
their coming was remarkably sudden
An eyewitness to the phenomenon
states thai as he was returning to
his home by moonlight he heard a
general rustling in the field near by,
and soon a vast army of rats crossed
the road in front of him, all going
in one direction The mass stretched
away as far as could be seen in the
dim light. These animals remained
on the farms and in the villages Of
the surrounding country, and during
the winter and summer of 1904 were
a veritable plague.
Lack of food, no doubt, in many
cases is the cause of the sO-called
migratiOns of rats. In England a
general movement of rats inland
from the coast occurs every October.
This is closely connected with the
closing of the herring season. Dur
ing the fishing the rodents swarm to
the coast, attracted by the offal left
from cleaning the herring, and when
this food supply fails they hasten
back to the farms and villages.
In South America periodic plaques
of rats have taken place in Parana.
Brazil, at intervals of about 80 years,
and Chile at intervals of from Is to
25 years. These plaques in the Guilt
waited lands follow the ripening and
decay of the dominant species Of
bamboo in each country. The ripen-
Ing OF the seed furnishes for two or
more years a favorite food for rats
in the forests, where the animals
multiply greatly; when this food
fails they are forced to the cult
waited districts for subsistence. In
1878 almost the entire crops of corn,
rice and mandioca in the state of
Parana were destroyed by rats, caus-
ing a serious famine
An invasion of black rats in the
Bermuda Islands occurred about the
year 1915. In a space of two years
they had increased so alarmingly
that none of the islands was free
from them. The rodents devoured
everything which came in their way
fruit, plants, and even trees-so
that for two years the people were
destitute of bread. A law was passed
requiring every man in the islands
to set II traps. Is In spite of all eff
forts the animals increased, until
they finally disappeared with sud
denness which could have resulted
only from pestilence.

The Pleasure of Eating

is a pleasure that no one should be
denied. Life, energy, brain power,
all depend on what is eaten. One
must eat and the food must assimi-
late or there's a decline. Keep your
digestion perfect and you can enjoy
eating.
If you ever have the least distress
after eating it denotes imperfect d.
gestion, and remedy is needed at
once. The best remedy is POINDEX-
TER'S TONIC. Results are prompt
from this remedy because it restores
right conditions. 1t overcomes fer
mentation in the stomach, and
strengthens the digestive organs.
