Operation Performed to Save Life of Popular Rensselaer Young Lady.

The condition of Miss True George, which the nrst of the week \ seemed somewhat more hopeful, has since become considerably worse and Wednesday an operation was decided necessary to save her life. This was performed Wednesday night by a Chicago specialist who was assisted by the local family physician. A tubercular condition of the peritoneum has probably existed for some time but has become serious only recently. The. operation was for the removal of an accumulation of serum and about' three gallons was drawn off. The patient passed through the operation very well and her condition this Thursday morning was somewhat encouraging. Miss George is one of the best known and universally esteemed young women in Rensselaer and her affliction is a very sad one.
