smiles the while and says that ho has
no fears of the outcome. However , ho

FIGHT TAFT'S POLICIES.
Some Insurgents Won't Support Rail
and Conservation Ideas.
Washington , .Ian till The- tout state _
In which the lopuhllcan putty In con-i
gross finds itself Is shown by the an
tagonisms which exist not only with
respect to the house organization , bul
In refcri'iice to the president's legis
lative1 piogram.
The original icvolt Is against the
rules which govern the house and the
lelgn eif Spealu't Cannon.
Opposition has developed among the
standpat it-publicans to the conservation
vation of tosoiirees tccominondatlons
of President Taft.
In the same inmitor the-io Is opposi
tion to I'lesltlcnt Taft's reconimenda-
tlons for the Mention of a postal sav
ings bank system
Among the Insui gents and some of
the standpat icpublle-ans there Is op
position to the administration's hill for
the tegulalion of tailroads.
Objection to the ship subsidy legis
lation prevails In both factions.
The foiegolng shows thai Ihe dove
of peace has not leturnod to Its nest
on the majoiity side of the house of
representatives.
Roali/ing this fait , President Taft
proposes to continue to us > e his good
oJIkos to lemove- the differences which
pit-vail In the hope thai bcfoic Ihe
presenl session of congress closes Ihe
party will be untiled.
Through Ihe decision to .supersede
the committee on rules by causus ac
tion the adminibti atlon believes one
cause of Iho ellsagicenicnl among the
K-puhlicans In the house has been re
moved. The expectation thai Cannuon
will announce his determination not
to ho a candidate for ro election as
jspeaker will have , it is hoped , a further
soothing effect. Finally , the enactment -
ment of legislation in accordance with
the provisions of the icpiiblican plat
form will foim a base upon which Ihe
entlte patty may stand.
The iiibiiigouts ate expressing some
dissatibfattion with Ihe caucus ar-
rangomenl believing il to be a Irap.
They feai if they go into n caucus it-bo-
lution will be put thiough making the
decision of the majority binding upon
all members of the party.
Theie are also borne features of Mr.
Taft's legislative program which they
do not fool they can support. For
instance , there are details of the ad
ministration's lailioad bill which , In
their judgment , practically dealt oy
the piinciples enunciated by the presi
dent in bib special message. Suppose ,
they abk , Ihal Ihe admlnislialion bill
Is presented at the caucus as a party
meabino Must they pledge thorn-
solvob to vole for a measure which ,
In their view , fails to teach the evils
of which the countiy now complains ?
The insui gents insist that in the
agieement reached by Representative
Hayes uith Ihe piesident no elctlsion
was t cached with lospoct lo ftttute
caucusob. Al Ihe same lime il is ap-
paie-nt to liibingents that they will
be placed in an oinbanassing posi
tion by a refusal to attend a meetIng -
Ing called to consider r. lecommeiiela-
lion of the president based upon a
platfoim promise. To stay away un
doubtedly would lend more or less
weight to the chaige thai they were
not republicans.
APPENDIX WORTH $25,000.
Omaha Woman Sues Surgeon Who Cut
it Out.
Omaha , Neb. , Jan. U9. Special
Figuring thai her appendix was worth
$25,000 , Miss Lillian Robotham , a pret-
ly young woman of Omaha , has sued
Dr. Arthur C. Stokes for this sum , al
leging thai she has sustained damages
by reason of having the apparently
useless organ removed from her anat
omy without her knowledge or con
sent.
In her petition filed in court Miss
Kobotham alleges that she was given
a close of morphine , put into a deep
sloop and while sleeping the appen
dix that was "well and heaity" was
cut out
Dr. Slokes Is a well-known surgeon
of Omaha , but he refuses to discuss
the Milt brought against him by Miss
Robotham , contending that il will be
his turn to talk when called upon
the vvltnesb stand to make his defense.
As Miss Robotham tells the story ,
last May she visited Dr. Stokes and'
talked with him with reference to a
treatment for enlarged \aritocelo
veins. At thai lime , so she avers ,
ho told her Ihal Ihe trouble with her
was thai she had an appendix Ihal
needed to bo removed.
"I did not believe this , " states the
plaintiff in her petlllon. "although he
said It had gone to such a point thai
operallon was necessary. "
In October Miss Robotham says she
again called on Ihe doclor and had n
consullallon vvllh him. with the result
that on the lasl day of Ihe month she
went to the Swedish hospital , where
she expected to have an operation on
the veins. On the following clay , when
the operation was to have boon per
formed , she was taken Into the operal-
ing room , given morphine and became *
unconscious. When she tame oul from
under the inllucnco of the drug she
says there was a small Incision where
the varicose vein had boon and a still
larger ono at a point vvheio her ap-
pomlix had formerly rested. She after-
wards found out that while uncon
scious her appendix had been removed.
Now she wants damages.

Stuart Has Another Fire.
Hluait , N'el ) , Jan. Ill Special to
The News Stuart's second disastrous
lire for January occurred Saturday , re
sulting in the total destruction of the
Checkered livery barn , owned by
( eorge Robertson & Co. , and serious
damage to l'C Horak's Ice house- ,
which stood at the rear of his meat
market , just across the alley Horn the
burned barn. I ) . W. Stuart's general
merchandise store also stood llusli
with the alley and was In the greatest
jeopardy for a time. Tills store and
the meat market could hardly have
been saved had it not been for the
splendid equipment , which this town
now has foi lighting lire The con
tents of Stuait's store , the1 meat mar
ket and II. Sheaier's hainess store
were hastily moved into the street , an
these buildings at one time were all on
lire and it was thought that they weie-
all doomed. As was the case January
H , the elements wete favorable. Only
'
a light wind was blowing , and snow
was falling. The liverymen saved all
| of their stock , buggies and auto.
Three horses belonging to outside par
ties were burned. One was a line driv
ing horse , the property of U. C. Ru
ne r.
r.The
, The liverymen's loss will probably
reach $1,000. ! They carried $1,000 In
surance. All of the other parties who
sustained damage elthei by lire or In
moving their goods carried insurances
, and no doubt will be reimbursed by
the companies.
The livery barn , it is understood , Is
to be rebuilt with cement stone. Tho.
lire is said to have started from a lan
i tern that had been used by a mall car
rier in hainessing his team , and had
I been lett binning in a i emote corner
of the barn.
