THE HUMAN OSTEICH.
WHAT HIS DISSECTED STOM
ACH BROUGHT FORTH.
An Inventory of It* Content*—Nall*.
Knlve*. Ola** and Tack* by the
Handful! — The Barlow Knife
that Worried Him—A Suo
cemful Operation.
Cot tii* “Ostrich” Open.
Kansas City, Mo., June 14.—Dr. E.
Von Quast of the city health depart
ment has a two-bladed pocket-knife
with an ebony and brass mounted
handle which, it is asserted, is the
property of the city marshal of Pilot
Grove, Mo. The knife was swallowed
one week ago to-day by Harry Whal
len, otherwise the “human ostrich,”
while giving1 a street performance of
gastronomical feats in that place.
Dr. E. Von Quasi, assisted by a num
ber of other surgeons, cut Wlialten’a
stomach open at the German hospital
this morning und took therefrom over
120 nails, knives, screws and tacks,
among them being the marshal’s big
Barlow knife.
This is an actual and complete in
ventory of the hardware, glassware
and cutlery taken from Whallen’s
stomach:
WHAT nE HAD IN HIM.
1 4-bladed knife, 3J£ inches long.
1 2-bladed Harlow knife, 4 inches
long.
1 knife blade, 3 if inches long.
1 knife blade, 3 inches long.
8 knife blades, 3 inches long.
1 knife blade, l inch long.
32 large eight and ten-penny fence
nails and spikes.
34 six-penny wire nails, sharp
pointed.
26 shingle nails, 1 inch long.
16 carpet tacks and small wire nails.
1 horseshoe nail.
3 large screws.
I barbed wire staple.
3 ounces fine glass.
The astonishing fact Is that Whallen
carried this remarkable collection of
junk in his stomach a week and is
still alive. The case is the most re
markable of its kind that has aver
come to the attention of doctors and
surgeons in Kansas City, and it has
few paraleils in the history of surgery.
Whallen is a professional showman.
He began swallowing nails and glass
when he was a lad 10 years old. He
soon found his way Into a dime mu
seum and later into a side show He
traveled all over the United States
with Barnum's and other big circuses
as a “human ostrich” and a contor
tionist. He can twist himself into
almost any shape, so supple are his
joints, and until a week ago he could
swallow with safety any object that
would pass down his throat.
CAUSE OF niS TROUBLE.
Not long ago Whallen was stranded
in St. Louis. He began to work his
way to Kansas City by giving street
performances in small towns. Upon
these occasions he would swallow
nails, knives and tacks and anv in
credulous individual in the audience
who cared to risk his pocket knife for
the sake of further testing Whallen’s
swallowing ability was generally ac
commodated.
The pocket knife feat caused Whal
len’s trouble. He swallowed a two
bladed • Barlow knife belonging to the
city marshal of Pilot Grove and it
lodged in his stomach. Thursday he
went to the city dispensary and told
Dr. Van Quast and Dr. Smythe that he
had 100 nails, knives, tacks and other
hardware and cutlery in his stomach.
They refused to believe his story, but
upon examining him found that some
hard substance had lodged there.
Whallen insisted that he was telling
the truth and it was determined to ap
ply the X rays.
This was done by Dr. J. N. Scott in
the presence of several doctors ami
newspaper reporters. X ray proto
graphs of Whallen’s stomach were
taken witj> the powerful Crookes
tube machine.
WHAT X RAYS SHOWED.
These photographs showed the bone
frame work of the man's body and a
dark spot almost as large as a man's
hand Bhowed the exact location of the
mass of knives, nails and glass. An
effort wan made to look through Whal
len’s body with the X rays and the
fluoroscope. His ribs and vertebra;
could be easily discerned, his heart
pulsations seen and the metal mass
outlined, but the rays were not pow
erful enough to define what the object
really waa It was found that the
metal was lodged in the large sack
which is technically called the stom
ach. Whallcn’s sufferings became in
tense as the incongruous substances,
remained in his stomach, and he de
termined to have an operation per
formed.
As his calling would indicate, the
"human ostrich” is a man of nerve.
He said he did not fear the operation.
At the conclusion of the operation
Whallen was weak and of course un
conscious, but the surgeons said his
condition was good and that his chance
of recovery was excellent.

AN EDITOR ASSAULTED.•,
Major John L Blulnger of tbe It
Joseph Herald Attacked.
St. Joseph, Mo., June 14.—Ex-Con
gressman George C. Crowtlier and Ma
jor John L. Bittinger, editor of the
Herald, had a bloody fight on a street
car just before noon to-day.
They took, the same seat on an open
street car and disputed about an inter*
▼lew with Major Bittinger published
in the Daily Mews yesterday, in which
he had called the ex-congressman a
liar. Major Bittinger said the inter
view was correct. He was then at
tacked by Crowther, who hit him sev
eral times in the face.
Blood poured from the cuts made by
the ex-congressman's fist, and the two
men grappled. The car proceeded and
the combatants nearly fell off in their
struggles. Bittinger bled freely, but
the fight was continued until -they
were pulled apart by other men on the
car.
Crowther’a face nai considerably
scratched, but his injuries are not se
rious. Major Bittlnirer afterwards
repeated the statemen t that Crowther
is untruthful and said he was willing
to meet him again with any kind of
weapons Crowther may select.
The fight was a result of the post
office controversy and the long politi
cal enmity that has existed between
the two men. Major Bittinger said
to-day that he will drive Crowther out
of politics, and it is likely that ths
trouble is not yet ended.
MUST SERVE UNCLE SAM.
Secretary Long Decline* to Permit Ks
val Cadet* to Rnlgn.
Washington, .Tune 14.—For the first
time in many years the secretary of
ttie navy has interposed his veto upon
tiie application of a junior officer to
leave the naval service. In the pres
ent case three of the cadets at An
napolis—George Weber of Arkansas
li. L. Collins of Pennsylvania and P. L
Pratt of Illinois—sought to resign.
They had completed four years’ serv
ice at the academy, the last year be
ing devoted to the engineering branch,
and desired to leave to engage in
private businesa
Secretary Long, however, found
that the engineer corps was badly in
need of officers, owing to the rapid
depletion of the ranks of the older en
gineers in late years, and he decided
that as these young men had been ed
ucated at the expense of the govern
ment they should render service in
return. The cadets upon admission
to the academy are required to pledge
themselves to serve the government
not less than eight years, so these men
now will be obliged to take the usual
two years’ cruise, which rounds out
the Annapolis course, at the end of
which time they will receive their
commissions as assistant engineers in
the navy and as regularly assigned to
dnt.v.

NO MORE JUDGES YET.
COURT PASSES UPON THE CON
STITUTIONAL AMENDLDNTS.
The stats'a Judicial Tribunal Declarer
that They Were Not Adopted—A Ma
jority of All the Vote* Required
—Only Three Judges.
The Constitutional Amendments.
The supreme court has decided tha»
the constitutional amendment increas
ing the number of judges of the court
from three to five was not adopted at
the election last fall. This decision
was handed down Thursday before the
court adjourned for the sitting. The
question was raised in a banking case
from Johnson county and the court has
passed upon it, holding that a majority
of all votes cast at the ejection on any
proposition is necessary for adoption
of a constitutional amendment. The
court rendered practically the same
opinion in the suit instituted by W. J.
Bryan to prevent the city of Lincoln
from issuing gold bonds.
The question of adoption of the con
stitutional amendment was raised bv
attorneys in the case of the Tecumsen
National Bank vs. Anna R. Saunders,
error from Johnson county, on a mo
tion for a rehearing. The attorneys
gave several reasons for asking a re
hearing. Oqe reason that the case
was reversed by the action of two
judges, Chief Justice Post and Judge
Harrison joining in an opinion for re
versal and Judge Norval for affirmance.
The attorneys alleged that before the
court rendered an opinion a constitu
tional amendment increasing the num
i)cr of judges to five was adopted by
a vote of the people and therefore two
judges of the court could not render
an opinion for the court, the neces
sary majority of the court being lack
ing.
The court has overruled the motion
for a rehearing, Commissioner Ryan
writing the opinion. Judge Norval
dissents. but concurs in that part of
the opinion relating to the constitu
tional question. All members of the
court and the commissioners concur in
that part of the decision and in Judge
Norval’s opinion so far as it relates to
the constitutional question.
The syllabus of Commissioner Ryan's
opinion is as follows:
‘•A rehearing will not be granted
when it is clear that no other conclus
ion than that already reached, is possi
ble.
“A proposition to amend the consti
tution of this state can only be sub
mitted at a general election at which
there is elected senators and repre
sentatives.
“To affect the adoption of an amend
ment to the constitution of this state
it must receive more than one-half the
highest number of votes cast at such
general election, whether such highest
number be for the filling of an office or
for the adoption of a proposition.”
Relics of the War Missing.
Some time ago ex-Gov. Furnas was
at the state house, and while visiting
in the rooms of the adjutant general
of the Nebraska national guard ex
pressed surprise that the flags, guidons
and Other relies of the Second Nebras
ka and the four companies of the Cur
tis Horse were not in the state bouse.
The Curtis Horse was made up from
Nebraska men, but was consolidated
with the Fifth Iowa cavalry. The relics
of the First- Nebraska are at the office
of the adjutant general, but wherea
bouts of the others arc unknown.
Gen. Barry wrote to Mr. Furnas about
the matter, and has received a reply
which says:
“My Dear General: Referring to
yours of May 28, when I left the office
of governor, all the war relics of the
Second Nebraska cavalry were in the
capitol building. What has become of
them I know not. I have not one of
them, nor do I know who has. As I
said when in your office, 1 was sur
prised to find none of them in the.ro. I
advise that you advertise for them, ask
ing that they be sent to you for preser
vation. It is important. All I can do
to that end will be done willingly and
cheerfully. Hoping that you may suc
ceed in obtaining these relics for the
state archives, I am, as ever,
Yours very truly,
Robt. w. Flu.vas.
Gen. Barry is making every possible
effort to find the missing relics, as
their proper place is at the state house
alongside the flags of the First Ne
braska.
May Establish an Indian Sahool.
Senator Allen was recently in Omaha,
and having been asked what would
probably be done with the old Fort
Omaha reservation, the senator said
that he had had this subject in mind
for some time and he had a suggestion
which he thought might solve tne prob
lem to the eminent satisfaction of the
government, the state of Nebraska and
'especially the people of Omaha. His
plan is that the site be used for an In
dian school. The interior department
has decided to recommend that another
Indian school be established to meet a
positive necessity for the accommoda
tion of about 500 pupils and Senator
Allen is sure that the Fort Omaha res
ervation will so perfectly serve the
purpose that he Droposes soon to intro
duce a bill providing that the school be
established there. It is thought that
some of the buildings now on the site
can be remodeled so as to be made suit
able for the purpose without great ex
pense.
Morgan Must llang.
The judgment of the Douglas county
court and death sentence in the case of
the state vs. George W. Morgan has
been affirmed by the supreme court.
The date of execution is fixed October
8. Morgan, it will be remembered, was
convicted of ravishing and afterward
choking to death, little Ida Gaskell.
State Fair Outlook.
Secretary Furnas told a newspaper
reporter that the prospects for a large
attendance and a profitable exhibit at
the state fair this year were excellent.
So far the applications for space had
been unusually numerous. The farm
ers throughout the state were looking
forward to a large crop this year and
were enjoying more prosperity than
for several years back. He considered
it an assured fact that they would turn
out in large numbers to the fair and
would swell the attendance last year
over SO per cent.

RAILROAD PROJECT.
O’Neill Will Back Op Donald McLean'*
Railroad Scheme.
O’Ntill dispatch: Donald McLean,
the great railroad promoter, was in
O’Neill tonight and met the citizens of
this place at the court house and briefly
outlined his plans for a new line from
Ponca, on the Missouri river, to Los
Angeles, Cal., by way of O’Neill. The
meeting was very well attended and
enthusiastic speeches were made by
many of the citizens. A letter from Mr.
C'beaney of Creighton was read and en
thusiastically received, stating that his
city and community were heartily in
favor of the enterprise and would lend
their assistance in every way possible.

Omaha dispatch: The battle in tlie
Bartley case this afternoon eventually
resulted in a victory for the state, in
that the ledger, which was the bone of
contention, was all read to be intro
duced in evidence. By this ledger it
was shown that the money was depos
ited to Bartley’s credit, and that at the
time the money was so deposited Bart
ley had no personal account at the
bank, but did have an account as state
treasurer. In passing upon the objec
tion to the introduction of the book,
Judge Baker's ruling was to the effect
that it was good as secondary evidence,
it having been shown that the state is
not in possession of Bartley's checks,
which would have been the best evi
dence. The books showed also that
Bartley's account as treasurer was open
at the time of the deposit of the pro
ceeds of the warrant to Bartley’s per
sonal account. Attorney Mahoney cross
examined Book-keeper Adair and elic
ited the fact that the entry of Bartley's
name and the characterizing of the ac
count as a “personal'’ account was
made prior to April 10, 1895, and that
prior to that date Bartley did have a
personal account at the bank, though it
did not contain a balance to his credit,
as shown by witnesses’ statements on
redirect examination.
Soldiers March Agalust Time.
Valentine dispatch: In conformity
with an official order issued by Colonel
Andrews, commanding Fort Niobrara,
detachments consisting of one officer
and thirty-flve picked men from each

thirty-mile wind. Company D, Lieu
tenant Cochu, won in one hour, twen
ty-three minutes and fifty-four seconds.
They carried rifles and ammunition,
but no other accouterments. The con
test was ordered to demonstrate what
might be done on a forced march, and
as one of the means employed by Colo
nel Andrews in keeping his regiment
in physical condition for active service
at any time. The contest excited great
interest here, as well as at Fort Nio
brara.
A Sensational Land Case.
Dakota City dispatch: Attorney Will
iam P. Warner of this place today re
ceived notice of a decision handed down
by Judge W. II. Munger of the circuit
court of the United States for the dis
trict of Nebraska, in the much litigated

o'clock yesterday, after the Senate
had disposed of the cereals in the agri
cultural schedule. Senators and spec
tators soon lapsed into a state of"
indifference as the speeches dealt with
a labyrinth of technical details, of*
vital interest, though, to the sugar re
finer and expert
Mr. Jones of Arkansas opened the-,
debate, to some extent answering Mr.
Aldrich’s statement on the sugar
schedule. It was argument active and.
lacking in any severe denunciatory
features. The Senator held that the
rates proposed gave the refiners an
excessive differential and pointed out
how they had thrived on the one
eiglith differential of the present law.
Mr. Vest severely criticised the
Sugar trust and argued that the rates
were a further tribute to its vast re
sources. Mr. Caffery of Louisiana,
also opposed the schedule as a whole.
Early in the day Mr. Tillfnun of
South Carolina made a lively speech in
favor of the amendment giving an ex
port a sty on agricultural products.
After some running debate a vote
was taken on the Cannon amendment,.,
providing an export bounty for agrl- •
cultural products, and it was defeated
—yeas, 10; nays, 59. The affirmative
vote was given by Messrs. Allen, But
ler, Stewart, Harris of Kansas, Heit
feld, Populists; Cannon, Mantle, Petti
grew, silver Republicans; Roach and!
Tillman, Democrats
Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota gave
notice that he would offer his amend
ment to admit free of duty goods made,
by trusts at the end of the sugar:
schedule.
Co-Ordinate With Judiciary. •
Minneapolis, Minn.,Junejl?. —Judge
Simpson, of the district bench, handed'
down an opinion that while it was the
duty of the governor to respond to
the grand jury’s subpoena and to pro
duce- such papers as it required, he
could not be compelled to by the judi
ciary part of the state government,,
which is only co-ordinate with and not
superior to the executive. The gov
ernor is exempt from judicial process
while in discharge of his duties and
he alone is judge of when such process
would interfere with such duties. He
is amenable to the legislature alone,
which may impeach him for violation
of duty. _._
