CHARGED ONLY TWO PER CENT
Atlanta National Bank Is Kind to
State in Helping to Make Up
Loan OF Half Million.

ATLANTA.-Of the six national
banks in this city which loaned the
state of Georgia $475, 900 to pay the
school teachers five charged three
per cent interest and, it has just been
learned, one of them charged only
two per cent.
The Atlanta National Bank, one of
the foremost financial institutions of
the South, was the one that charged
only two per cent, and loaned $780,
600 of the $475, 600 borrowed All
the banks made these loans simply
for patriotic reasons. They lose
money on the loans even at three per
cent, as they have to pay six per cent
and over for a large part of the
money in New York. While all OF
them went into their Golfers thus
generously the Atlanta National was
particularly patriotic.
The money was borrowed in ac-
cordance with a resolution passed by
the legislature authorizing Governor
Slaton to borrow the money to pay
the teachers, who were many months
behind Governor Slaton issued an
appeal to all of the national banks in

THE SURGEON WENT MAD
OHIO DOCTOR KILLED AND MUTT.
LATED UNCONSCIOUS SUBJECT
IN OPERATING ROOM.
AFTER A DESPERATE STRUGGLE

Was Disarmed When 1t Was DiscOv-
cred by Attendants That Madness
Was Directing Arm and ScalpeI
That Uncovered Vital Organs.
MARIETTA, Ohio-With the
commitment to Longview asylum in
Cincinnati of Dr. VIM. r. Dabney
there has come to light one of the
most remarkable chapters in medical
history.
Not until the crazed surgeon had
undertaken to perform vivisection
upon patient was it realized by the
attendants in the operating room that
madness was directing the arm and
scalpel as it sought to uncover vital
organs.
DR.. Dabney entered practice in Ma
rietta about fifteen years ago. He
made a speciality of eye, ear and
throat operations.
For several months previous to his
mental collapse and the startling rev.
Citations of his condition rarely a day
passed that he did not perform two
or three difficult operations.
1t was the death on the operating
table of a wealthy farmer, Jacob F.
Schaad, which brought DR.. Dabney's
career to a climax. Schaad had
tumoI Gus growth on his upper jaw.
He consulted DR.. Dabney and was as
sured that minor operation would
remove the Disagreement.
Besides Dr. Dabney and the nurse
there were present when Mr.. Schaad
lapsed into unconsciusness under the
influence of an anaesthetic two other
surgeons. AS DR.. Dabney proceeded
with the knife the two surgeons de-
tected that there was something
wrong and both began to remon-
strate. Dr.. Dabney became angry
and ordered them from the operating
room.
When the two doctors had left,
according to the story of the nurse
who had remained troubling beside
the unconscious patient, DR.. Dabn ~
began to dissect the face and throat
Of the unconscious Schaad. Both
sides of the face were laid open and
deep incisions made in the throat.
But the skill of the mad surgeon was
shown in the dexterity with which he
avoided infiicting a fatal wound on
his living subject.
The Mortified nurse ran shrieking
that DR.. Dabney was killing his pa
tient Her cries brought the other
surgeons with several of the hospital
attendants to the rescue. DR.. Dab
ney, by that time a raving maniac,
brandishing his scalpel over the UNI
conscious living elbject, was disarm-
ed and subduel after a desperate
struggle.

STOLEN WHEN 7 YEARS OLD
Young Man Is Restored to Parents
After Spending Seventeen Years
With Wandering Nomads.

WATERFOWL, n. Word was
received here today that Frederick
Brosseau, aged "a, who was kidnap-
ed by gypsies nearly II years ago,
had been restored to his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. John Brosseau of Sisson-
vile, N. Y. They had long mourned
him as dead. On October IA, 1896,
when but seven years old, young
Brosseau left home to meet his faith
err at the edge of the village. That
was the last seen of the boy in Sis
sonville.
About week ago a young man
deserted from a band of gypsies in
the Canadian wilds and took refuge
with the monks of Oklahoma, whose
isolated monastery is 40 miles from
Montreal. He could remember moth
ing of his life previous to becoming
a member of the band except that he
had been kidnapped and that his for
mer home was in northern New York.
The presence Of the wanderer was re-
ported by the monks to the Montreal
police, and an aunt of the young man
recognized his picture in newspa-
per. The parents were notified and
went to Montreal, where they posi-
lively identified Brosseau by birth
mark. Brosseau is being detained b?
the police as a witness against the
gypsies, who are under arrest charg-
ed with Kidnapping.
