Montour American FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Aug. 20, 1908. POT LIFE M DEAD BOTS BODY WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. News of one of the most remarkable Operations ever performed in this oity or possibly in the United States, which took place at Emergency when uoe of the surgeons of that in- Btitution succeeded by massage in bringing back to life a a twelve-year old colored boy of Hyattsville, Md., who, it was thought,had died sudden ly while undergoing an operation, has just besn made public. BODY COLD AND RIGID. The boy was under the influence of chloroform and the surgeon was oper ating on au infected knee when re spiration suddenly ceased. The pulse died and finally stopped, the body be came cold, the limbs rigid. Artificial respiration was resorted to, but there was no responding to pulsation of the heart. After six miuutes of suspense, dur ing which the physician resorted to every possible method to revive the patient, the doctor realized that there was only one chance to save the boy's life. MASSAGED THE HEART. With delicate skill the boy's body was opened for seven minutes while the doctor massaged the patient's heart with his fingers. Finally, when he was about to give up all hope,the boy took a faint voluntary breath, and for sev eral minutes the heart pulsated gent ly. Plying the heart with his fingers to stimulate circulation of the blood, the physician, after eighteen minutes had the heart pulsating normally and knew that lie had succeeded in his al most miraculous operation. LIVED DAY AND A HALF. For a day and a half following the operation the hoy remained in excel lent condition and every hope was held out for his recovery. But the in fection of the knee had spread to the left side and affected the glands of the neck. Blood poisoning set in and de spite all efforts to save him the boy succumbed. Within a few months several emin ent physicians of this city will con duct vivisection tests to determine how far the heart massage can be car ried. Dogs will be placed under an aesthetics and allowed to succumb, it is said, so that physicians may deter mine after how long an interval an animal apparently dead may be restor ed by heart massage. NEARLY AN HOUR UNCONSCIOUS Charles E. Ware met with a bad fall yesterday nfternoon while picking peaches in the yard at the rear of his residence. No 121 Bloom 6treet. He sustained injuries which for awhile Beeoiea to threaten serious results. The accident occurred about 3:45 o'clock. Mr. Ware was standing on a ladder supported by the limb of a peach tree. Without any warniug the ladder, which WHS a rather frail af fair, broke near the center, causing the man to fall to the ground. In the descent he seemed to strike the ground headfirst and was rendered uncon scious Dr. Shultz was called. He arrived promptly and applied the usual remed ies. The injuried man however at first utterly failed to respond to the treat ment and seemed seriously hurt. He was carried into the house,where aft er nearly an hour's hard work the physician succeeded in restoring him to consciousness. Last evening the injured man was able to be about as usual. His appar ently serious condition following the fall was duo to the shock and the stunuing effect of the impact when he struck the ground with his head. CONSTITUTIONAL AHENDHENTS As some of the newspapers of the state have been misled by the official advertisement of the proposed amend ments to the Constitution, which are now appearing each week in the Morn ing News and The Moutour Ameri can, into the assumption that they are to he voted upon next fall, it appears necessary to explain their status and the purpose of the present publica tion. The resolution proposing these amendmnuts was passed by the last Legislature. They will be again con sidered by the Legislature to be elect ed this fall, and, if then adopted,will be submitted to the people for approv al or rejection. They are published in order that the people may understand in voting for members of the Legisla ture that such amendments are pend ing, and may, if they choose, discuss the subject with the candidates and give them proper instructions. A Perilous Ride Abraham Wanner, cf Schuylkill Haven, Schuylkill county, on Sunday fell between two cars of a moving train, at Ciessona. But he grasped the revolving axle of one of the cars and by his feet held onto the truck of the car. He hung on this way for a half mile when the train stopped and he got out of bis perilous position escap ing with a broken wrist and severe 112 Cuts and bruises.

This really happened nt a meeting of clubwomen at Topeka, Kan.: This club had a new member who was said to be so literary that she knew under just what head to find anything in the encyclopedia, but she had so far never been on the club programme. Re cently a member who was to have had a paper on Browning was absent, and the chairman got up and said, "As Mrs. Blank is absent, I will ask our new member to talk on the sub ject." There was a llutter. Now the members would really hear an intel lectual treat. The new member arose and began, "While I did not expect to speak on the subject this afternoon and must confess to being* a little rusty on it, not having done my own cooking for a number of years, I will say that for pies and cakes I like a hot, brisk fire and for beans a slow, steady one." —Topeka Journal. Exaggerated. The knack of looking at the bright side of things was never developed to such perfection as in the case of a man who, after a railway accident, tel egraphed to his friend's wife: "Your husband killed in railway ac cident: head, both arms and both legs cut off." But later this correction was re ceived: "First report exaggerated.
