WOMAN DOCTOR DEMONSTRATES
 PAINLESS SURGERY USING
 CURRENT OF ELECTRICITY

on the back, the front of the thigh, on the inner side of the ankle, and on the outer side of the leg above the ankle. The writer then continues:
 fImnie ediate1y upon the making of the current anaestheso of the limb below the electrodes was complete, and incision was promptly made. Ap- parently no pain was experienced by the patient. Following the amputa- tion of the great toe of the right foot the electrodes were transferred to the left leg. Here the great, second, and third toes were amputated and flaps sutured over.
 During the operation, which was of forty-fve minutes duration, the patient laughed and conversed freely with Dr. Robinovitch and nearby surgeons, expressing himself as utter ly unconscious of any sensation ir the limb being operated upon, even when liberal incisions into the nor nal tissue were made for flaps and the bone was separated by bone for ceps. Two hours following the opera tion the patient was found sitting uI in bed in an evidently cheerful frame of mind.
 "The advantages of this method oi anaesthesia are obvious. Incision is allowable immediately on the closure of the circuit, thereby saving time fo1 the operator The frequent and of tentimes serious after effects of ether were totally absent, i. e., vomiting gastric diseases, and more remote complications of either pneumonia and nephritis were surmounted. Tn their places the patient showed 1it- tie, if any, concern of having had an operation performed.
 sHThe type of current utilized by Dr. Robinovitch is the same as is used by her for purposes of resusci- tation, whether it be coma from elec- trocution, opium, or other narcotics.
 ''The current used is direct from storage batteries, capacity 100 am- peres each. The current is interrupt ed 5000 to 1000 times per minute, per iod of passage of the current being one- tenth of entire time The current pases from the periphery centrally. The direct current was interrupted with Dr. Robinovitch's model of in- terupter. The meters registered 54 volts and millian1peres of current coursing through the patients body locally. Electrodes used: Lumbar IF x25, centimeters; roller electrode Con the thigh) 2x2; leg electrodes, each 4x2 centimeters."

From time to time partial accounts have been published of the methods employed and the results obtained by Dr. Louise G. Robinovitch of New York in resuscitating lower animals apparently dead. and in performing surgical operations by the use of cleo tricity. Dr. Marcus M. Johnson o1 Hartford now comes forward with, an authoritative statement of an experl- ment and an operation before a large assemblage of Hartford's most prom inent physicians and surgeons. They were conducted under the direct su- pervision of Dr. Robinovitch. Dr. John- son being the operator. This account appears in the Medical Record:
 'Dr. Robinovitch,'' says the writer. ..electrocuted a rabbit by her own electrical equipment before the Hart ford Medical Society. and after per- hitting one of the physicians present to listen for the extinct heart beats of the animal, again restored the heart and vital organs to their normal func- tions by reversing the current. the ami mal promptly getting up and running about the hall. On the following day she Demonstrated, for the first time in the annals of surgery, the uses of electricity for anaesthetic purposes on man.
 "The operation was performed by pr. Marcus M. Johnson, assisted by Dr. Edward Herr, at the St. Francis hospital, upon young Austrian pa tient, John C., 23 years old, who had entered a few days previously with his feet frozen. Gangrene ensued, and amputation was agreed upon on four toes, including the two great cnes.
 .'Dr. Robinovitch arranged her electrical device upon a long table in the operating room. From the stor- age batteries of an automobile sta toned without a wire was led through a window to the operating room and connected with a rheostat for governing the current and two meters, one for voltage and the other for amperage. Finally, small make and break switch was inserted in the circuit, and the equipment on the long table was complete.
 "The patient, now blindfolded, but otherwise unrestrained, was brought in on the operating table and placed in a position alongside and parallel to the long table
 There follows a technical descrip- ton of the placing of the electrodes

CANNONISM WILL
 BE BIG ISSUE IN COMING CAMPAIGN
Radical Insurgents in COnJlict With Conservatives in Attempt
 tOOuSt Uncle Joe
Especial from United Press )


 Washington, May 25.-It became apparent today that "Cannonism" will be one of the big issues in the coming Congressional campaign. A powerful wing of the House insur- gents, the conservatives" has deter mined not to attempt to unseat Uncle Joe" as Speaker at this ses sion but to save him as big issue of their fight for reelection this fall.
 As exclusively told in the United Press despatches yesterday they are confident of the support of Colonel number of radical insurgents, how ever, believe that an attempt should be made to oust Cannon from the Speakers chair at this session.
 The conservative insurgents say that if Cannon continues batting the insurgents as in his New York speech when he declared that Shooting is too good for them, they should be hanged" and in numerous other speeches on the floor, they will be un- a ble to restrain the radicals.
 Meanwhile Cannon and the House organization are facing rather un- comfortable situation. AS a pro- gressive expressed it today, they are sitting on a powder mine and they have no idea just when it's going to e6pIOQe.
 They have grown extremely sus- picious and the appearance of Mur- dock or Norris on the floor with a bill of any kind is a signal for ac- tivity. Representative Dwight, (Re- publican, New York;, the organiza- ton whip, is kept busy. If a ma jority of the progressive appear on the floor at one time, Dwight scurries about, hurrying the organization members into the chamber.
 One of the reasons why the pro- gressives hesitate to depose Cannon immediately is the difficulty they would encounter in electing his suc- cessor The insurgents would not vote for Democrat or a regular Re- publican and the Democrats would not elect an insurgent.
 With Cannon as an issue the 1n- surgents believe their chances for victory will be greatly increased, especially if they succeed in drawing Colonel Roosevelt into the campaign to gain pledges against the re-elec- ton of the Speaker.
 The Democrats are not particularly worried about Cannon just now as they expect to have majority in the next House in which event they would name a Democratic speaker.

 STEAMER LYING IN PIECES
 AT BOTTOM OF THE LAKE
Especial from United Press.) )

Port Huron, Mich., May 25.- Wrecking tugs will be sent to the point 35 miles off Point Aux Barques in Lake Huron, to make an investi- gation of the big steel steamer Frank H. Goodyear which lies in two pieces at the bottom of the lake in 40 fathoms of water with IS of her crew. She is probably a total loss.
 Nothing has been heard of an ef- fort to fix responsibility for the col lision on Monday between the Good year and the Wood. All hope that any of the IS missing seamen had been saved was abandoned on the arrival at the Soo last night of the steamer Siemens from the scene of collision. She had not picked up any victims.

Market Report

Sioux City, Ia., June 6, 1910
Under a light Monday run of fat
cattle, the market ruled a big dime
higher on the best of well fattened
beeves with little quotable change
on light plain steers and butcher
stock. There was a strong de-
mand from all sources and every
thing in the killer line changed
ownership readily. Beeves are
quotable at 4 $50 "a $3.50, the
latter price being paid for some
1410 beeves. Medium and fat
cows and fat cows and heifers
$4.25 "a $40: Gamers and thin
cows $3.50 q $3.75; veal calves
$3.75 O. 1926 and bulls and stags,
$3. SO a 1926.
There was weak undertone to
the stocker and trade with that of
late last week and the general mar
ket was quoted Is @ 25c lower
than that of the previous Monday.
In the slump the medium and plain
steers and stock heifers showed the
greatest decline. The lateness in
the season was accountable for the
lower market in this branch of the
trade. Feeders are quotable at
S.. 90 a $500; calves and year.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION RETURNS
the Various Headquarters
East of RveLatest Give Him 1000 PuraltyBurke
and Martins lin Doubt Leading

The great battle of the primar-
les is over and perhaps no other
state in the Union has gone through
the experiences which South Da-
kota has during the primaries.
The count shows that a large num-
ber of the voters did not get out
and vote and one instance is cited
in a precinct north of Philip where
not single voter showed up to cast
his ballot after the ballot boxes
and other necessary arrangements
we're made. The number of votes
that Egan polled was big sur
prise party to all and in the towns
where he gave addresses the on
slaught of voters for him seemed
irresistible. In the rural district
the count showed a great falling
off and the great majorities went
Vessey or Elrod.
With eight voting precincts to
hear from in Pennington county
both Vessey and Elrod appear to
be gaining ground. While Egan
has a slight advantage it is believ-
ed that today's returns will show
that the county will not give Egan
its majority. Small as it may be, it
will 60 for one of the candidates.
The latest reports from the vari-
Gus headquarters in the state con-
cede the nomination of Vessey,
with Elrod second and Egan third.
Burke and Martin are running
ahead of Thorson and Shrader and
will undoubtedly be re-nominated;
Burko 10 lvading by Uilc otrunsoot
plurality. The outcome of the
two factions of the republican party
in the state is still in doubt. A
late message from Huron head
quarters states that Vessey is lead
ing by, from two to five thousand.
Burke conceded the nomination.
Coyne for sheriff is conceded the
nomination with Warrington a
close second and Porch third.
Frank Norman has majority
over Hart of 200 for county as
SCISSOR.
Glow for treasurer is running a
little behind Mckay, but the pre-
cincts to hear from are conceded
