Decided Not To Operate.

Dr. Arthur D- Bevan, head of Department of 3nrgery, of Rush Medical College, aud a very eminent specialist in his lines, and his assistant, Dr Bmitb, came down from Chicago, Sunday, prepared to operate upon T. J. McCoy, for appendicitis, if it was thought advisable. On oarefnl examination, however, they decided that there was no immediate necessity for the removal of tbe appendix. They foand Mr. Mo Co? getting along very satisfactorily, and with every prospect for recovery.

It is considered however that an operation will be advisable after recovery, in order to prevent a probable and more eerions recuronce of the attack; as it is recognized that there is a permanently inflamed condition, which has no donbt caused him trouble heretofore, but before it was not evident enough to recognize; and as long as the appendix remains it will be a source of danger. lost Retweer Rorsse'aer and the Ir:c tiidge mt c t.si 1 shopping bag ooatainiDg a pocaet book with about $1 20, a rosary and a pair of glaaaea and a book written in Polish.
