The Columbian does not make
offidavit to its circulation. We
will say, however,' that it reaches
every section of the county, and
goes out into many other states as
well. We have no free list. Our
paper goes into the homes of peo
ple who pay for it, and this is the
class that merchants like to have
their advertisements appear before.
Our advertising space is always
filled to the limit, and our patrons
are pleased with the results. An
occasional reference to increasing
business is all right aud quite pro
per, butwhcn it comes to an every
day exposition, it takes 011 the form
of conceit which only serves to im
pair what it would improve.
Tha Fatal Wedding-
Mother ano u'tV Me
Among the attractions booked for
the Opera House this season, the
management takes pleasure in an
nouncing the powerful melodrama in
four acts entitled "The Fatal Wed
ding. This play, which has gained
success on both sides of the water, is
from the prolific pen of the success
tul young author rheo. Kremer. It js
not an exasperated story, Out con
tains strong and vivid characteriza
tions taken from real life, in thrilling
scenes, illustrating the passions that
stir men's souls. Scenes of violence
and scenes ot pathos are cleverly
blended and woven into perfection on
the loom of the brain s-imagery. It is
of absorbing interest from the be
ginning and bristles with thrilling
climaxes, and staithng incidents
The scenery tor this production was
painted by the celebrated scenic
artist, Harley Merry, and, owing to
the locality of the different scenes,
ample scope is given for some magni
ficent stage settings. To say that
this is one of the strongest melo
dramas that will be seen here this
season is putting it mildly. It will
come to the Opera House, Thursday
evening Sept. 25th.

Sir: The most uncomfortable
time in the whole year, for house
holders, is from Sept. 1 5th to Oct.
1st. The Steam Company ought
to begin furnishing steam on Sept.
15th, because the cold is increasing
from that date, and might quit on
the 15th of May, because the cold
is then decreasing. Persons heat
ing with steam are not prepared to
make heat for their houses for a
couple of weeks and the whole
household, children and old folks
suffer for want of warmth. Can
we not have steam earlier?

CUT OUT STOMACH TO SAVE LIFE
OF SUFFESER-
Cincinnall Man, Dying ot Cancer, at Last
Consents to Submit to Rare Surgi
cal Operation.
A surgical feat that European ex
perts hesitate to perform will be at
tempted at the city hospital, Cincin
nati, in a few days. The stomach of
Adolph Ilugentobler, a mach'iL?,
will be removed. Then the sepa.ated
sections of the alimentary canal will
be united.
Hugentobler, who is 46 years old,
has long suffersd from cancer of the
stomach. Some months ago he went
to the hospital, seeking relief, but
medicines were of no avail, and, not
wishing to submit to the knife, he re
turned to his home.
Since then he has gradually grown
worse, until now he is only a shadow
of his former self, and with a knowl
edge of his rapidly approaching end.
He, however, craves life, and, in his
desperation to hold on, he is now
willing to grasp at the only straw held
out to him that of submitting to an
operation which, if successful, will
make him an anomaly among men
and a freak from a scientific stand
point. No medical men, so far a records
show, dreamed one could live with
out a stomach until, on September 6,
1897, Dr. Carl Schlatter, of the Uni
versity of Zurich, removed the stomach
of Mrs. Anna Landis, and kept her
alive for fourteen months afterward.
Later a medical Journal gave an ac
count of a case in Germany where
the entire stomach and part of the in
testines of a 14 year old girl were ex
tirpated, the girl living for more than
a year afterward.
Dr. A. C. Bernays, of St. Louis,
duplicated the case, with still mae
successful results. Dr. Eringham, of
San Francisco, performea a similar
operation, but his subjec., Carl Krug
er, of Chicago, lived only a short time
afterward. Dr. Wilbur Fralick, of
New York, entirely extirpated the
stomach of D. G. Bodman, of New
ark, N. J., and at last accounts the
man was still alive.
Probably the most lemarkable case
of the kind on record is that of Gio
vanni Patritti, who was operated on
in the San Francisco Hospital in
1 98. Patritti had a cancerous sto
r.ac'.i, and the whole orgar was r:
t. ov 1 At the time the case w?;
w .cheJ with the greatest interest Ly
the surgeons of the country, or the
natient's recovery was very slow, leav
ing doubt as to the outcome of the
operation. Patritti, however, got well
and at last acounts was working in 1
California vineyard, apparently as
comfortable as though he had never
kiown a surgeon's knife or lost &
stomach. New York Journal.
Goal 23 Oeuti a Bucket.
Imagine yourself carrying coal ti
your stove from a grocery at 23 cents
a bucket. Thai's what the masses of
people are doing now in Philadelphia,
the anthracite region's nearest big
city. There are a lot of people there
who have always bought their coal by
the bucket but before the strike they
nao to pay only from 5 to 8 cents a
bucket for it. There are about 80
buckets to the ton, so that at this re

the Quaker city are now paving;
