James Matheson in Critical Condition In Deaconness Hospital.

James Matheson is at the Deaconness hospital in Indianapolis in a quite serious condition and the outcome Is very uncertain. He has been failing quite rapidly for the past six and last week seemed so much worse thgt his local physician advised that he go to a city hospital and be examined by specialists. He accordingly went to the hospital last Thursday. His trouble was diagnosed cancer of the bladder and it was decided to undertake an operation. This was done Monday, but the cancerous growth was found attached to the bladder in a manner that made it a surgical imposßiblity to remove it and save the life of the patient. The operation • was *then abandoned and the incision sewed up. He withstood the ordeal very well and will probably recover so as to be able to return here, but he will probably continue in a very bad state of health. Mrs. Matheson is with him at the hospital.
