Catheyand a fellow student about threo weeks ago. Pussy had been ill for several weeks. Her case refused to yield to allopathic doses - of kind treatment, and do amount of caress ing , improved . her condition.- A consultation was held, and it was decided to try surgery where medi cine had failed. Farewells were made by earthly friends and cholo form was applied to pussy's nose. When unconsciousness came she was placed on the operating table, and the knife was put in play. An incision was made in the abdominal cavity and it was discovered that a hard substance had formed in the descending colon. : How to remove this, gave the surgeons pause. An opening in the intestines ia made only in a case of life and death. Pnssy's coadition was desperate. The step must be taken. A slight incision was made, the foreign sub stance removed, and the wound caref ally stitched up. The outer wall was closed and sewed, and the operators waited anxiously to see which would pass away, pussy or the effects of the anesthetic Hap-j piiy.lt was the latter;. Tue erst while invalid has now. taken a new lease on her nine lives, and Burgery has again triumphed over medicine.

' . .' . '," Trot. Additional Local. MeKinley Is Not Coming;. It is evident from a letter re ceived this week by Miles Young, f this city, that counterfeiters still fleurish. Miles . received a letter "in strictest confidence" that was mailed May 8th; ia New York City. The writer grew very connaenhal and told ot quickly acquired fortunes, lack of. risk, and his honorable and business-like dealing. - The counterfeiter seemed to take a positive pride in his work, and declared his goods to be far above "the inferior article of Italian make." : He states that his goods are mace irotn genuine plates. He is very particular about whom he unbosoms his confidence too, and .would not have written Miles had he not felt assured that he was a mas of honor and would not betray him. 4 The confidential gentleman was very desirous that no letters be ad dressed hini and stated positively that in case a written eommam eation reaehed him it would be returned to the postoffice and forwarded ta the sender, possibly opened. All communication was to be made by telegraphy and the following message transmitted would indicate that Miles was willing ta enter into the scheme: "Mr. G. E.- Howard, Pratt's Junction, Mass. ,,; Mr. Emil still lives at 993, same street." ; After the telegram has beea received it will then be neces sary to arrange -a faoe-to-faee meeting ; between the counter feiter and Miles. Above' all is emphasized the fact that the re oipieat - of the communication must not attempt any betrayal and' great stress is laid spon the implicit confidence reposed ia Mr. Young. "Owing to the serious illness of Mrs. McKinley, the president has abandoned his trip to Ore gon, and will return direct to Washington. He desires that his regrets be expressed." This is the message to Oregoa from President McKinley, now in Saa Francisco, which blights the hopes of all citizens of the state, who were anxiously wait ing the opportunity te- cordially welcome the nation's chief ex ecutive. -'."1 Mrs. McKinley's condition is most serious. She has taken nothing s bat liquid reireshment for several days, and is uncon scious much of the time. The latest message states that there ss no abandonment ef the hope that she will rally. Anxiety for the speedy recovery of the sweet lady of the white house over shadows our disappointment in having to forego the pleasure of meeting her and her devoted husband. Will of E. B. McElsoy.
