Associated Press.

Marietta. o.. Aug. 13.-With the
commitment to the Longview asylum
in Cincinnatti today of DR.. William
r. Dabney there has come to light a
remarkable chapter in medical his
tory.
For several months previous to the
mental collapse of Dabney rarely a
day passed that he did not perform
two or three difficult operations. 1t
was the death on the operating table
of an aged farmer named Jacob F.
Schaad that brought Dabney's career
to a climax. He was operating on
Schaad for numerous growth on the
upper jaw. After ordering Drs. C. B.
Ballard and j. B. Penrose from the
room. Dabney began to dissect the
face and throat of the unconscious pa
tient. Both sides of the face were
laid open and deep incisions made in
the throat; but the skill of the mad
surgeon enabled him to avoid inflict-
ing fatal wound. At this point the
nurse ran screaming from the room
and Dabney was empowered by Bal
lard and Penrose.

Water in Riuers

Montrose people are somewhat
alarmed by the news that the Uncom-
paghre river is carrying less than
90 cubic feet per second. less water
than ever before in the history of the
section by tremendous margin. The
Gunnison tunnel handles 500 feet. so
1t is easy to see that the Uncom-
paghre is carrying one-tenth as much
water as the tunnel provides for the
parched lands OF the newly opened
section.
The Gunnison river at this point
is as low as it has ever been seen
and can be forded at almost any
point. 1t is one of the dryest years
ever known in the western part Of
the state and the Grand river is at an
extremely low ebb.

abandon their fight for an agricul-
tural currency.

agricultural currency from the cur
rcncy bill, the president said: such
proposals should not be adopted be-
cause such credits would be only i'm
perfectly provided in such a measure.
The scope and character of the bill
end its immediate and chief purpose
cannot be made to reach as far as
the special interests of the farmer
require. Special machinery and a dis
