"Not always, tour 'Holiness," replied Dr. LarxJjnl, tfently. ... , , "Weil,'", retorted Pope Leo, "you could not expect to remedy my old age." The operation . was , decided .upon at an early morning conference, the doctors de siring te explore the affected parts. ' The-lmmedlate conduct or. the operation developed on Dr. Mazzonl, who handled the Instruments 'and made the preparatory arrangements. ' ' ' First1 alight. Incision was made In the side of the venerable .patient. A solution Of alcohol 'and corrosive sublimate was then 1 .injected and cocaine .waa -used to deaden, .the '..pain.., The point of operation was Just below the seventh rib and the operation Itself consisted . in the Insertion of a large pravas needle syringe. This penetrated to to region where the matter had accumulated, and by means of suction slowly, drew, it orf. Under the skillful guidance of Dr. Marionl the operation ' scarcely , occupied over four minutes. . The pop manifested no pain whatever, neither was there the slightest quiver of moral dread for the operation. In the language pf one of the doctors, the cocaine so deadened the. parts 'that the pontiff felt no more pain than a 'slight pin prick. t Patient Feels Relief.. As soon as the liquid was drawn off by the suction needle tbe patient felt - great relief, owing to the removal of the pres sure pf the liquid on the lung, and simul taneously the doctors could hear 'air pass ing through that (one which this morning waa declared to be impervious owing to congestion. He immediately, showod an exhllerating spirit. .. With, a. light emlls.on his pallid face he whispered his thankfulness and bestowed benedictions on the doctors bend ing over him. T.he pontiff even stroked Dr. Maiionl' face, in the ' benevolent way which IS characteristic with Mm. Then with one hand he rearranged his position, closed his eyes,' and in a few minutes passed into a calm, healthful sleep. "The 'doctors remained by the pope's side, noting the regularity of his breathing, and pronounced the operation to have been In every way successful and leaving no per eeptlble adverse result"?. '.

SIX SCORE PASSENGERS IN A PANIC Coach Crowded with Colored People Telescopes with Force of Colli sion, While Eaglaes Are ' Demolished. WASHINGTON, July 7. Twenty-four persons were killed and nine injured in a head-on collision on the Virginia Midland division of the Southern railway at Rock fish, Va., this afternoon. The passenger tmln which left Washington at 11:16 this morning for Atlanta dashed Into a local freight which was standing on th main line, wrecking both engines and th bag gag and express cars of the pasfeenger train. Th baggage car and th second class passenger coach immediately follow ing it telescoped. Th coach was' mostly occupied by colored people. Among th killed: ENGINEER DAVIS of the passenger train. ENGINEER M'CORMICK, who was rid ing a a passenger on the freight, A COLORED FIREMAN on the freight The freight train was on the return trip from Lynchburg to Charlottesville. Rock flub station is midway between these two points and the track there is a single one. Engineer Hale had orders to get oiit of the way of the fast passenger train, but for some reason not yet explained he had over stayed his time and failed to take a siding so that the passenger train could pass. Th trains cam together with a horrible crash and a fearful panlo ensued when th occupant of the cars realized what had occurred. The passenger train waa mad up of an express car, a baggage car. two day coaches and two Pullman cars. Th two Pullmans formed an' early morning New York connection at Washington for At lanta' and the south. The train arriving het at 10:t2 a. m. from Boston also con nected with this train.-On of th' pas senger cars of the train waa a second-class day coach and the other a vestibuled car. It is estimated there were probably U0 passengers on th train. Including those from Boston and Intermediate points. GOTTI SEES . SICK PONTIFF Possible Sneeessor Has Private Inter view, gapposedlr on Ecclesi astical Matters. ROME, July a 1:26 a. m. Much slgnlfl cance Is attached to. an extended Visit mad by Cardinal Qotti, prefect of th propa ganda, to th sick room, from which other conspicuous members of the sacred col lege are excluded by the doctor's orders. Cardinal Gottl'a Interview lasted twenty minutes, even the doctors and attendants withdrawing and leaving him alone with the pop. This has naturally opened a wide held of speculation. It is even, asserted that Pope Leo expressed the hope. that in the event of succession falling on 'Cardinal Gottl he might have the strength to. tak up and carry forward th great work thus con fided to him. Just what passed between them only they know, but the circum stances and lengths of, tbe visit strongly support th view that th pope waa giv ing his attention to th administration of th church when he himself had passed away. ;n n s HANGED FOR DOUBLE MURDER Pay Peaalty for Shootlagr Woman. aad Officer Who Attempt to ' Make Arrest.

Deadlocked on Selection of AniiUnta to Atton-j on Tax Cased NEW OFICE CREATED, OLD ONES FILLED Gas Company la instructed to Re move All Lamp oa Cornero Where There Are Rlec trie Lights. Th meeting of the city council last night was a busy one. The more Important things which It did and tried to do and failed are as follows: Introduced ordlnunce creating the office of Inspector of explosives and combusti bles at $1,200 a year and providing rules and regulations that he is to enforce. Passed concurrent resolution placing the repairing of North Sixteenth street from Dodge to Cuming in the hands of Con tractor E. D. Van Ce rt, work to be done within ninety-six hours and to cost not ex ceeding 1300. Failed to agree upon additional legal as sistance in railway tax cases at prolonged n formal session. Introduced ordinances re-creating offices f city claim agent and city legal examiner, fixing the salary of each at $1,200 per an num. Passed resolution directing that the gas company remove all . lamps on corner lighted by electricity. Directed city treasurer to comtlnua th collection of personal taxes from persons who have become non-residents, as has been don the past two years. Decided that city finances are too low to permit of the establishment of a chem ical and bacteriological laboratory during the present year. Referred the bill of the Omaha water company, amounting o ,uiu, iur wo hydrant rental for first six months of 1903 to city attorney for advice. Confirmed the appointment of Charles . Morgan and the reappointment of Victor Rosewater and Alfred C. Kennedy as mem bers of the library board, a submitted by Mayor Moores. Place for Two Lawyers. Members of the city council, with Dyball absent, etruggled for more than an hour last night over the personnel of the legal assistance to be given City Attorney Wright in the railway tax caBei and failed to reach a definite conclusion. The matter was left, if anything, in a more tangled and unsatisfactory condition than it was before. Th ol point tentatively settled was whether on or two lawyers snouiu oe employed and by a vote of 6 to J it waa areed to allow the Real usiaie exonanse to name one man and the council the other. President Zimman and Councilman O'Brien opposed this action, endeavoring to support City Attorney Wright in his ontention that one lawyer is enougn anu would give boKer service than two. Just before the council aajournea irom regular meeting President Zimman stated that City Attorney Wright had Informed him that the railways are pressing tne tax litiftrottmi and that It would be for the best Interests of the city to have the ques tion of legal assistance decided as soon as possible. Th council baa sustained, th to of Mayor Moore to in resolution em ploying Jointly F. A. Brogan and H. H. Baldrtge. which wm due to Mr. Brogan' declination to eerv. Therefor after ad journment th councllmen met In Informal Session . wRh Attorney Wright and W. O. Ure present-' Th matter Krai talked over at length. ,, . , . MV. Wright stated that .he Intended to retain the management of the case whether he handled it alone or ' with assistance, which he asserted it would be almost ne cessary for him to, have. He said that one additional attorney would glv better results than two end the expense would be lessened. Inasmuch as the costs, Incurred In traveling over the atate and possibly to New York to take depositions would be les sened. Upon the authority of Councilman O'Brien It was given out that Mr. Brogan withdrew because another man had been named to act with him. It was pointed out. however, that Brogan" was the choice of the Real Estate exchange and Attorney Wright. Mr. Baldrlge's serious illness with ppendlcltls would prevent his immediate service ae is necessary, It was stated. Nevertheless Counciimen Hoye and Back insisted ' that he should be one of the at torneys engaged and a vote showed the majority to be In favor of dual employ ment. Reaches. a Deadlock. Later, however, Councilman Schroe- der proposed '. that the selection be loft to Attorney Wright, ha to choose on or two men as he aw fit and submit the names to the council. By this time Councilman Nlchol son hsd left and as Councllmen Hoye, Back and Evans voted against the proposition the necessary five votes to maintain the proposal could not be secured and the pro ject was dropped. J. P. breen ha at least on 6r two champions among th council. H Is th remaining one of the three law vers first proposed by the Real Estate ex change. Previous arrangements to repair the holes In the North. Sixteenth street nuptial turn by the publio works department was rescinded by the council last night by the passage of a resolution by Nicholson. It directed Contractor E. D.. Van Court to make the repairs with broken stone and gravel. It being stipulated that the work must be completed within ntnety-slx hours after the order is given. Compensation la to be fixed by three members of the onuncil who shall Inspect the work by driving over It three times a week for two weeks and shall not exceed $300. The Board of Publio Works is to have charge of the repairing. Councllmen Schroeder and Evans voted against the proposition. Councilman Hoye Introduced the com bustibles ordinance which is practically the same, as ttyat vetoed by Mayor Moores during his last term. Its title reads: "An ordinance for the prevention of fires, es tabllshtng rules and regulations concern Ing the manufacture, sale, storage and transportation of explosives and onmbustl bis materials; providing for an Inspector of explosives and oombuitlbles, and pre scribing his duties." The compensation of the inspector, to be appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the council. Is to be II.IO a year, with duties consisting mainly of examinations .and the Issuance of permit made necessary under the ordinance, wbjtch waa read the first and second times by till and referred. I'nanlntou on One Point. This resolution. Introduced by Zimman, found no dissenting votes: "That the gas company is hereby directed to dlsoontlnu all ga lamps on street oorners or Intersec tions on which aro lamps ere sunponded, and that the gas Inspector is hereby di rected to enforce th foregoing resolution." It Is said that about seventy-five gas lamps will be affected. Th ordinance re-creating tlie recintly abolished offices of city abstracter and city claim agent were Introduced by Council man' Zimman and provoked no comment They provide for appointment of the In cumbents by ths mayor and confirmation by the council. The fence maintained by the t'nlun Pa cific across Ninth street near Its passenger staUwa ha causad a protest fnua about twenty-five business firm In th vicinity, who say that four block of th thorough far Is pre-empted and great Inconvenience caused them by the fence. Which cut It a direct rout to the station and compels a long detour. This has resulted In travel ing men losing trains, failure of express and mall to get away promptly and detri ment to business. It I alleged. The coun cil will consider th matter In general com mute meeting. Appointments Confirmed. The confirmation by the council of George L. Dennis, Patrick Fcrd and H. P. Drexel a newor Inspectors, William Mack pav ing foreman and thirty-five laborers and teamsters ae appointments to the list of public works department eligible provoked remark from Councilman O'Brien about "hot air." He said the men were being put on without any expectation of ever using them and he did not think the pro ceeding in good faith. In the library board appointments Victor Rosewater and Alfred C. Kennedy succeed themselves, while Charle E. Morgan 1 named, vice W.fA. Hansen, whos term ha expired. The resignation of Gas Inspector John C. Lynch c a m'emser of the board for the examination of plumbers was received and the nomination of Daniel C. Clifton fty the mayor to succeed him. was confirmed. At the behest of Councilman Schroeder red lamp will be placed on Sixteenth street from Dodge to Cass, on Cuming from Twenty-third to Twenty-fifth and on Twenty-fourth from Caldwell M Bewnrd, until these parts of thorousrhfares are placed In "a safe and passable condition."

He paid a high tribute to both parents and son, and voiced his pride at the opportunity to now introduce him as president of tbe Na tional Editorial association. President Wlllard Responds. President Wlllard referred to the warmth of the reception which the delegates had received on their arrival In the city, a warmth which had In fact been felt t.11 day long. He said In part; Permit me on behalf of the National Edl ruin I ussnnlatlon tn eratefullv and uln cerely acknowledge ths eloquent and cor dial greeting that has been extended. Cold, indeed, would be the heart that could not respond to the cheery, gladsome welcome that has greeted us on this occasion, when we meet as strangers and will part as friends. At Hot Springs, Ark., scarcely more than a year ago, your committee In vited us to this city of promise and per fection; told us of the royal welcome which we would receive and pamted In glowing colors the attractions of Mils peerless por tion of the western plains.

Frederick B. Patea. Mr. Rslph Henry Day, gcoompanlst, sang, "Ppirto Gentll," from "Opera In Favorite," and In response to an encore sang "Come Back to Erin." Itenraskn Editor's WefVome. Ross Hammond, editor of the Fremont Tribune, spoke for the Nebraska Press as sociation and In doing so told of th history and growth, th resources and glory of Nebraska. A single county In It, he re marked, could contain both Connecticut and Delaware, and was five times as big a Rhode Island, while If Massachusetts were placed In the center of the atate enough could be clipped off around th edges to cover the states of New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut snd Vermont, and even then enough salvage would be found for a Kentucky cemetery But it was not simply In slxe. he said, that Nebraska Is notable. It Is notable for the quality of It cltlxenshlp and the cos mopolitan character of It; for being the state with the smallest percentage of Illit eracy of any state or territory In the Union; for having outgrown pioneer pov erty and the grasshopper to the extent of having on deposit In the banks of the state $80 for every man, woman and child In It. $400 for every family of five: for pro moting Its presidential candidates to the editorial tripod; for having one paper with 700,000, another with 150,000 and another with 100,000 circulation, and another, which modesty forbid his mentioning, the circula tion of which he would not give; for having In Its capital city the fifth city in the vol ume of second class mall matter, and for various other things. In concluding he said: Nebraska, the Tree Plunt fftra' ttntA lh home of Arbor day, whose trees and foliage now nna Dena in saiut,ng you, the repre sentatives of the states nf the nslmettn of the south, the eucalyptus and rhodo dendron of the far west, the stately pine and spruce, and the hemlock of the north, and the mint snd sturdy oak and chest nuts or the east. This is the home of the Nebraska State Press association. We nre proud of It and proud of our stnte. And the editors of Nenrnska clasp hands with th editors of the I'nited States, and extend greetings and felicitations. Mrs. tl. F. Stanpl of Itocknort. Mo., n popular member of the association and one who has added to the pleasure of previous conventions, sang "Calm Was the Night" and gracefully responded to an enthusiastic encore. Revolution of One Life Time. Edward Rosewater, editor of The Bee, was Introduced as one of those to whom Dr. Miller had previously referred as com ing to the alleged desert In early manhood and having for forty years been a creative force in it. The lamentable failure of Mayor Moores with the Weather bureau, Mr. Rosewater snid. had caused him to place In cold storage the address he was expected to deliver, and Instead he would talk briefly, and In a manner better suited and more soothing under existing condi tions. If he could pass in panoramic re view his career in the Journalistic field, he was sure his talk would be breexy enough to suit the weather, and It would certainly be as entertaining a spectacle ae could possibly be furnished the delegates, but he could not go over the battlefield. In which so many fights had been won ana? lost. To Dr. Miller, as the veteran editor and a vital force In the Journalistic field of Ne braska when he came to this state forty years ago, Mr. Rosewater paid a graceful tribute, saying that his first Inspiration to enter the newspaper field had come through desire to see established a republican paper which-could compete With the Her ald. H did not then intend to himself become an editor, and had written Horace Greeley and Sam Bowie ' to recommend some editor to htm, and even Invited the latter to come to Omaha and start a paper. As Illustrating the change sine those day Mr. Rosewater recalled that when he came her as manager of the Pactfio Tele graph company he had presented monthly bill of $80 to the two paper then here for the Associated Press service' and the papers complained and wanted the bills out down, a they were burdensome. Now, and for year past, the papers have been paying $300 per week for the Associated Press serv ice. Fifty-one years ago, when Horace Greeley was befor Parliament, he said the New York Tribune had a press capacity of 10,000 copies per hour and the Sun, which was so cheap that it depended on It ad vertising for its support, had a press capa city of 18,000 per hour. Today th Omaha dally papers have three time a great press capacity as all th New York papers of fifty year ago. In numbers th paper of the country had Increased In the same period from 2,500 to 26. COO, but even this growth did not rightly signify the growth In Influence of the press. The change from a strictly partisan press to an Independent press, with papers free to discuss without bias alt public questions, which did not hesitate to criticise men of their own party and which did not fear any party, wai th greatest change of all independence- In Journalism had been the greatest blessing to the profession and the country and had given the press Its present great power. But there had been a great work done In the west along all material lines In ths last thirty years, for the war had drawn men from the west and sent none to It and only after It was over did Nebraska begin to grow. It was a growth which only those who had witnessed it could realise. The Omaha press and newspaper men ex tended a hearty greeting, Mr. Rosewater concluded, to the members of the associa tion; they were invited to call at all the newspaper offices and satisfy themselves of the progress they had made and of what they were capable of doing, and In all the offices they would be wolcomed. Mr. Cheney, with Miss Maud Peterson as accompanist, sang "The Drum Major," and responded to the hearty applause accorded It. Tribute to Power of Press. Hon. John L. Webster spoke as a l?y- man and citizen, ai.d In aolng so paid an eloquent tribute to the power of the press. It was a power, he s.ild, which he had felt, r.nd expected to feel again; it waa a piwer generally for good but sometimes for evil, but alnays It was an all pervading power. If united the press of the country would wield a power which nothing in it could withstand. If Turkey had a free press there would he no more masencres. or else there would be no sultan; if Russia had a free press there would be no massa cres of Jews and no 8lbfcrla. But even without a frtfe press In thof.e and other countries the days of emptors nnd esars Is parsing away through the work of the free press of the I nlte-1 Statc-s. which Is changing the civilisation of the world. Mr, Webster spoke of the lnbor-capltnl problem which the press of the country must solve. and asked If the tlm has not come for th press to lead the people of the country to higher things than the now all domi nating race for dollars. Tale of Downward Coarse. O. M. Hitchcock, referring to his Intro duction by Dr. Miller, said he had been educated to be a lawyer, but In the natu ral course of degeneracy had become an editor, later he had still further degan ated and become a business manager, and was no longer an editor, and now, going still further on the downward road, he had become a congressman. H had been advised to be brief and would follow the advloe. Mr. Hitchcock then sketched rapidly the editorial and busines department of a modern newspaper la answering the u- I ion. "Who Is It thatMake th Newapaperr It I hot the great editor, a In day gon by, nor yet th reporter, to whom h paid a glowing tribute, nor th ?lty editor, or managing editor. Nor Is It :h advertising solicitor or th circulation manager, or the business mansger, thoigh when any of these are viewed elngly It seems an an swer ha been found to th question. But th true answer I that th on man news paper has ceased to exist, that the mod ern newspaper I In fact a mlnlatur re public, each cltlsen of which ha his place and part, and the miniature republic in turn produce the paper the people want and which represent the cltlc In which they are produced. In closing Mr. Hitch cock extended a "warm" welcome to all the delegates, and the warmnes waa wel come, fur on such a day a yesterday the corn covering 1,000,000 acre of Nebraska soli weuld grow four Inch.
