SURGEONS USE KNIFE
AND NO ANAESTHETIC
Nan Has Lung Cut Open and Rib
Broken Off While Conscious.

Saginaw, Mich.-When it comes to
presenting medals for having a super
abundance of nerve, Ferdinand Hey
man. % years old, of Saginaw, ought
to come in for his share.
Heyman submitted to an operation
at St Mary's Hospital, when three
quarts of flu were removed from
his right lung and two and haf
inches of the fifth rib broken off to
permit DR. Karl Kanizer to make a
more complete job.
And this was done without the use
of an anaesthetic. The patient was
on the operating table for forty-five
minutes. and although begged by the
physicians, sisters and nurses to take
some anaesthetic, he refused and
stuck it through. He never lost con-
seriousness.
Several months ago he had a slight
operation and, as is customary under
those conditions, tool: an anaesthetic.
For days afterward ne was deadly
sick as a result, and during the oper-
alton 1t was though he would never
recover, as his heart was so weak.
This time he knew of his heart
trouble ant realized that his chances
of coming out from under the influ-
ence of an anaesthetic We're very
slim hence his refusal to take any.
While in bed at the hospital the in
cision was made in his right side and
some of the fluid drawn off with a
4 suction pump. A complete operation
could not hc made so it was decided
that part of a rib must be removed
to give the doctor better access to the
/ lung. Heyman was taken into the
operating room, where he was con-
scious of everything which was trans
p.ring
The first step was to break the fifth
rib. a mallet was used. AS the ply
clan thumped to break the bone,
some of the nurses and other attend
ants pleaded with the patient to take
an anaesthetic, but Heyman refused,
| saying he would stand the torture
rather than be sick for days after
wards and take big chance of never
recovering from its effects.
Several times during the operation
! the nurses implored him, but to no
avail
! After three quarter of an hour ne
! was taken back to his room and since
| then has not suffered from cough.

DYING. Is FAITHFUL

Clas. Murray. shot by GOldie Best
cott at North Bend. Is Entirely ST.


Marshfield, Or.-Almost at the
point of death, Charles Murray, the
vict' m of the shooting on Front street
in this city, is at Mercy hospital and
a though he knows he may die, re-
fuses to make any statement against
Goldie Bestcott the woman who shot
him
There are many stories as to the
cause of the shooting but there is lit
tie known further than that the wom-
an says as to her intention beng only
to protect herself Whatever Murray
knows of the cause of the trouble will
probably never be told as he refuses
to say anything discriminating.
If he should survive. he will be par
alyzed for life. 1t was thought an
operation might save him but he is
too weak to make any attempt and
there is little hope offered for his
recovery.
Goldie Bestcott is in Jail and will
be given a preliminary hearing when
it will be possible for the district at
torney who has been detained by the
Garrison murder case to be here,

A CRUSTY BACHELOR.

They were newly married and on their honeymoon trip. They stopped at a skyscraper hotel. The bridegroom felt a little in disposed and the bride said she would slip out and do some shopping. In due time she re- turned and tripped blithely up to her room, a trifle awed by the number of doors that looked all alike. But she was sure of her own and tapped gently on the panel.
 I'm back, honey; let me in,' she whispered.
 No answer.
 Honey, honey, let me inn' she called again, rapping louder.
 Still no answer.
 Honey, honey; it's I, your Queenie; do let me in"
 There was silence for several minutes-then a mans voice, cold and full of dignity, came from the other side of the door.

THOMAS EDISON'S VIEWS
 ON HERE, HEREAFTER.

I believe in supreme intel ligence, but have grave doubts as to whether you and I and all the other good folks of this world are going to be reused from our graves to go to some beautiful shining place aloft.
 They tell me I am, but I'll take my chances with the fashion able minister, and if there is such spot as heaven I'll bet I get there first.
 'The only religion needed in this world is the golden rule. If everyone practiced it there would be no more trouble or unhap- piness. I'd put everyone in jail who would not do unto his neigh bor as he would have his neigh bOr due unto him.
 Everything is material. We have no thoughts. They are simple impressions that we get from the outside.
 T CC not believe that man s mind lives after him. His work lives after him but the work is the. material thing.

ADVERTISING TEXA AS.

Uncle Sam does not come out openly and advise everybody to move to Texas. He would hard ly dare to do that. But his official report of the 18th census, 1910, shows such a partiality for the Lone Star state that one not familiar with the circumstances would thing this census was taken for the purpose of adver- Using Texas. The latest amour cement of Texas prosperity is made in the agricultural statis- tics. The average value per acre of farm land alone in 1910 was reported as S14.77, while in 1900 it was $40; the amount of gain being S1O.97 or 214 per cent. There is no better investment than money put in home in Texas. as.-ROckport Tribune.

MARK SMITH RETURNS.
Candidacy for the United States Senate
 from Arizona.

Hon. Marcus A. Smith, many
 years the idol of Arizona Demo
 cracy, and ex-delegate to Con
 greSS, has returned from Wash
 ington and his old home in Ken
 lucky, and as soon as Governor
 Sloan issues his proclamation
 will tour the territory in behalf
 of his candidacy.
 To reporter of the Tucson
 Citizen MT. Smith said: II hope to close my long
 career as a representative ot
 Arizona with the. United States senatorship and shall announce
 my candidacy after Governor Sloan issues his proclamation. When that is done I expect to my campaign.
 With respect to the recall of the judiciary I expect to stand exactly as my party has stood. My speech before the senate committee on territories explains my position clearly. In that speech stated that the people of Arizona have a right to put into their constitution anything not inimical to the constitution of the United States; and that it is not the business of congress nor the president to even modify that right.
 : "The president vetoed the statehood bill because of his alleged objection to the recall of the judiciary. In other words he vetoed the statehood bill on the simple question of the tenure of state officers.
 f seems to me DOW the plain duty of the people of Arizona to get statehood by complying with the requirements of the state hood resolution.
 After obtaining statehood it is then the peoples privilege to put the recall of judges into the constitution as soon as they please.
 II shall most certainly throw no obstacle in the way of that result. The people can put the recall back in the constitution, and in my judgment will put it back. They naturally resent an executive brutally exercising the power of his office against their unquestioned right"
 MT. Smith, after leaving Tue son in the latter part of May, went directly to Washington to witness the statehood fight in congress. He appeared twice before the senate committee on territories, he states, was pre- sent at every senate committee prior to the passage of the Original Flood resolution by the senate and then left Wash ington only when summoned by the serious illness of his brother James J. Smith, at Frankfort, Ky. From then until the final passage and approval of the Smith resolution, he was in daily touch with Democratic and Progressive Republican of the senate committee on territories, he state Citizen.
