Saved Passy's Life.
A delicate surgical operation,
which terminated successfully, was
performed on a cat by G. 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.

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.

using anything else for indigestion

the liver, stimulate the nervous andl
