The Chautauqua An Educator
Next to the public school the modern
chautauqua is perhaps the most potent
factor in the country for advancing pop
ular education A remarkable fact con
cerning the wide and effective influence
of the chautauqua is shown by the
statement of Dr Gunsatilus of Chicago
when he said that eighty -five percent of
tho sophomore class of the Armour In
stitute attributed their awakening and
subsequent registration in that insti
tution to the chautauqua in their neigh
borhoods
The chauauqua is properly called a
cross between a campmeeting and a
county fair It possesses many of the
best elements of both No one who
-wishes to fairly describe tho forces
which are moulding American life today
can omit it as a leading factor The
movement the chautauqua represents is
a mighty force in tho social political
intellectual and moral forces of tho hour
and any community able to support an
institution of this kind should not be
without one Exchange
Hot Springs World Famous
Wonderful Curative Powers of Waters
Known All Over the World
THE SECRETS ARE DISCOVERED
Tho registers in tho hotels and sani
tariuins at Hot Springs Arkansas toll
many tales but greatest of all they tell
of tho world wide reputation of this
great health resort
A glance through tho pages of these
registers will reveal the fact that visit
ors there have registered from every
quarter of tho globe from sunny Scot
land to darkest Africa and from tho
gold fields of Alaska to the straits of
Magellan In fact Hot Springe Ark
ansas is the Mecca to which the sick of
tho world make a pilgrimage every year
in over increasing numbers
Dr Ben W Kinsey who is chief of
stair of the Hot Springs doctors who
have their Nebraska State Institute per
manently located at 14th and O stieots
realizing what a benefit the Hot Springs
system of treatment would be to those
who could not afford tho time or money
to go to Hot Springs Arkansas made a
close study of tho hot springs with the
result that he discovered their secrets
and perfected a system of home treat
ment so that now this wonderful Hot
Springs systom of treatment may bo
used anywhere in any homo without
inconvenience annoyance or publicity
and without detaining the patient from
hfs or her usual business occupation
After discovering these wonderful se
crets Dr Kinsey formed an association
of noted medical specialists and diagnos
tcians and named it Tho Hot Springs
Djctors Institutes were immediately
established in the various larger cities
of the United States with one or more
of the Hot Springs doctors at each in
stitution As stated abovo the Nebraska
State instituto is located at 14th and O
streets Lincoln in charge of Dr Theo
nostician and specialist in chronic diseas
es The newspapers of the country
were not slow to see the great advantage
of Dr Kinsoys wonderful discovery and
system of home treatment and for years
the daily papers have almost daily re
corded accounts of cures that seem
miraculous which were made by the
Hot Springs doctors in their various in
stitutes
The United States owns and endorses
the Hot Springs of Arkansas and the
Hot Springs doctors hold a government
license to use the Hot Springs system of
treatment The Hot Springs doctors
are recognized by physicians of note the
world over as peers in the matter of
medical diagnosis and so well versed are
they in the anatomy of the human body
that they can in a few moments time
describe every ache and pain locating
the cause of the trouble without asking
the patient a single question To aid
them in their diagnosis they have deli
cate and powerful instruments imported
from the various medical centers of the
world and some invented by themselves
and used by no other physicians but the
Hot Springs doctors The Hot Springs
doctors successfully treat chronic diseas
es of the stomach liver kidneys blood
nerves lungs heart rheumatism neu
ralgia paralysis goitre piles rupture
and diseases of men and diseases of
womon
The Hot Springs doctors make no
mistakes they cannot afford to They
accept only curable cases fcr treatment
and will not accept an incurable case
for treatment at any price or under any
condition
This worla famous Hot Springs sys
tem of home treatment is what Dr
Kinsey is bringing to McCook Dr
Kinsey will be here only three days
March 19 20 and 21 While here he
will receive patients at the Palmer hotel
All those who are sick and suffering
and want to be made well and happy
should not fail to call on him as exami
nation is free to all who call
For a Square Deal
The record of the county commission
ers proceedings of February 14 190S
published in a recent Tribune states
The board having discovered that in
the annual settlement made with C 11
Harman overseer district No 6 a error
has been made by which a certificate on
the road fund of district six had been is
sued for 857 25 while it should have
been issued for 750 attention to this
fact being called to tho board by C II
Harman on motion instructs clerk to
correct the record in this case by stating
these facts in the commissioners record
and proceedings and that Mr Harman
has refunded to the county treasurer the
sum of 84975 to the credit of district No
6 being the amount overpaid him as per
treasurers receipt No lbj
Further the fact of this matter is
which the above record does not show
that on the 1st day of February 1G0S
Harman cashed his warrant for 85725
at the county treasurers office stuck
the proceeds down in his jeans knowing
that he was not entitled to it and that
he kept his grip on the whole wad for
two weeks When he was told the tax
payers of road district six knew he had
a lot of money belonging to the road
fund that he had never earned nnd was
warned to put it back or there would bo
something doing so tho next morning
February 14th ho coughed up 4975
I state these facts believing that public
ity will do more to promote the square
deal than a whole barrel of white
wash Marion Plummer
