When after suffering two years with
what was called appendicitis Mr John
Boland of 219 No 19th street Omaha
was told by the leading physicians and
surgeons of Nebraska that he would
have to undergo an operation and have
a part of his anatomy removed he
formally bid farewell to the world and
all he knew for he had known of oth
ers who had traveled the same dan
gerous road Just hefore he submitted
to the operation he met a friend who
suggested that he try the new treat
ment Magnetic Osteopathy He said
he would not take the treatment but
would consult with Prof Kharas and
see what he would do later Prof
Kharas as the originator of this new
science of curing diseases without
drugs feels the responsibility of life
and death cases so he examined Mr
Boland carefully told him he had no
appendicitis at all His trouble proved
to be simply a nervo muscular stric
ture of the small intestine duodenum
The professor so accurately described
the difference between the actual ex
isting condition and an appendicital
condition that Mr Boland saw he had
been humbugged by the medical and
surgical practitioners and took a
weeks treatment costing him o at
the Kharas Headquarters in Omaha
and is now sound and well and hard
at work He is loud and enthusiastic in
praise of Magnetic Osteopathy and the
Kharas System He realizes that he
would probably have been a burled
mistake if he had followed the advice
of the surgeons for they very much
dislike to have their mistakes come to
light and when they1 chop into a mans
works and see that they were off
there is only one way to prevent the
world from knowing the result The
patient failed to rally from the opera
tion as we expected etc Every day
we read of their mistakes
Miss Kit Distelhorst was expecting
to go to the hospital for an operation
the following day when a relative sug
gested that she see Kharas She did
The operation would have cost her
5200 besides had it been successful
the loss of two very important parts
of her anatomy and the surgeons gave
her very very little hope for recovering
from the operation at all As a result
of her coming to Prof Kharas she is
now sound and well She took six
weeks treatment spent 330 and is a
she aptly expresses it all in one
piece yet This mention of her name
is made with her express consent and
she will gladly inform any inquirer of
the truth of the statement who will
write her at her home 2011 Cass street

- SOUTH OMAHA MARKET REPORT-
South Omaha Neb Oct 3
Market report furnished by the Flato
Commission Co of South Omaha Neb
Receipts of cattle this week have fall
en considerably short of the same per
iod last week and those coming have
been nearly all westerns The receipts
of choice corn fed steers have been
very limited and the market on such
has been active at fully steady prices
The half fat and common cattle have
been neglected and the preference Is
shown the range steers which have
shown flesh enough to make good kill
ers This has made the market on the
half fat and common corn fed steers
rather slow and a shade lower than
last week Receipts of cows and hei
fers have been liberal the past three
days and while the demand has been
pretty active prices are 10 to 20c lower
than last Friday the principal decline
being on the common and fair grades
Cood cows were steady until today
when buyers were able to take off
about 10 cents
Stockers and feeders have not been
received in too large supply for the
trade to handle at this season of the
year but the market has not been in
as good condition as last week Mon
day the market opened with buyers all
after cattle ad they loaded up pretty
liberally and as a consequence have
been holding back yesterday and today
trying to dispose of what they had on
hand before taking on another load
Good heavy feeders declined 10 to 15
cents while the medium and common
grades show a declie of 15 to 25 cents
There was a strong demand for well
bred dehorned fleshy steers but there
are so few of that kind being marketed
that they cut little figure on the mar
ket Stock heifers are being marketed
freely and while the edmand is good
they have btin selling a little lower
Receipts of hogs have been fairly lib
eral the past two days but only a lim
ited supply was received Moday The
opening Monday was very slow and
prices were 2 to 5 cents lower with
the quality of the hogs rather poor
Yesterday buyers were in need of hogs
and though they tried to get their pur
chases cheaper at the start they soon
tcund it would be impossible to do so
and the market closed strong showing
an advance of about 5 cents over Mon
day Today was another good day for
shippers sales being effected early at
strong prices and the close today shows
prices 5 cents higher than Monday and
a little better than last Saturday

By HALL CAINE
But Greeba cried Help help help
She seemed to be beside herself with
suspense Some vague fear beyond
the thought of a mans life in peril
seemed to posssss her Did she know
what it was She did not She dared
not fix her mind upon it She was
afraid of her own fear But low down
within her and ready at any moment
to leap to her throat was the dim
ghost of a dread that he who was in
the boat and in danger of his life on
the rock might be -very near and dear
to her With her hood fallen back from
her head to her shoulders she ran to
and fro among the men on the beach
crying He will be lost Will no one
savS him
But the other women clung to the
men and the men shook their heads
and answered Hes past saving and
Weve got wives and children lookin
to us miss and whats the use of
throwing your life away
Still the girl cried Help and then
a young fellow pushed through to
where she stood and said Hes too
near for us to stand here and see him
die
Oh God bless and keep you forever
and ever cried Greeba and lifted
completely out of all self control she
threw her arms about the young man
and kissed him- fervently on the cheek
It was Jason He had found a rope
and coiled one end of it about his waist
and held the other end in his hand The
touch of Greebas quivering lips had
been as fire to him Ltay hold he
cried and threw the loose end of the
rope to Thurstan Fairbrother At the
next moment he was breast high in the
sea The manmust have 3een him com
ing for the loud clamor ceased
Brave lad said Greeba in a deep
usper
JJrave is it Its mad Im calling
It said old Davy
Who is it said the skipper
The young Icelander said Davy
Xot the lad Jason
Aw yes though Jason the gawk
as theyre saying Poor lad there a
heart at him -
The people held their breath Greeba
sovereci her eyes with her hands and
felt an impulse to scream Wading with
strong strides and swimming with yet
stronger strokes Jason reached the
boat A few minutes afterwards he was
back on the shore dragging the man
after him
The man lay insensible in Jasons
arms bleeding- from a wound in the
head Greeba stooped quickly to peer
into his face in the darkness and then
rose up and turned away with a sigh
that was a sigh of relief
Hes done for said Jason putting
him down
Who is he cried a score of voices
God knows fetch a lantern said
Jason
See theres a light in old Orrys
hut yonder Lets away there with him
It will be the nearest place said Kane
Wade
Chaise AKilley ran on ahead
Wheres Stephen tonight that hes
not with us at such work same as
this said Matt Mylechreest
Hes been down hre all week
puffed Nary Crowe
In another minute Chaise was knock
ing at the door and calling loudly as
he knocked
Stephen Stephen Stephen Orry
There came no answer and he knock
ed again and called yet louder
Stephen let us in Theres a man
here dying
But no one stirred within the house
Hes asleep said one
Stephen Stephen Orry Stephen Or
ry wake up man cant you hear us
Have ye no bowels that yed keep this
man out4
Hes not at home force the door
Kane Wade shouted
One blow was enough The door was
fastened only by a hemp rope wound
around a hasp on the outside and it fell
open with a crash Then the men with
the burden staggered into the house
They laid the insensible man on the
floor and there the light of the lamp
that burned in the widow fell upon his
face
Lord s marsy they cried il
Stephen Orry hissef
The lad pushed through to the bed
side and then for the first time he
came face to face with Stephen Orry
Did any voice uhhead of the others
cry in his ear at that moment Jason
Jason this is he whom you have crossed
the seasto slay and he has sentfor you

SYNOPSIS
Rachel Jorsensen was the only daughter
of the governor oZ Iceland She fell ln
love and mairied an idler Stephen Orry
Ker father had otner hopes tor her and
In his ancer ne disowned her Orry ran
away to sea or this union a child was
born and Rachel called him Jason Ste
phen Orry was heard from in the Isle of
Man where he was again mairied ana
another son was born Rachel died a
hdurt broken woman but told Jason of
1 is fathers acts Jason swore to kill
him and If not him then his son In the
meantime Orry had deserted his ship and
sought refuge in the Isle of Man He
was sheltered by the governor of the
Island Adam Falrbrother Orry went
from bad to worse and married a dissolute
woman and their child called Michael
Sunlocks was born The woman died and
Orry gave Sunlocks to Adam Falrbrother
who adopted him and he became the
playmate of the governors daughter
Greeba Time passed and Adam Fair-brother-
and wife became estranged their
five boys staying with their mother on
account of Michael Sunlocks Finally Ste
phen Orry returned and Michael Sunlocks
determined to go to Iceland his fathers
home His father confessed all to him
and Michael promised to find Rachel if
possible and care for her and if dead to
find her child and treat him as a brother
to bless you for the last sands of his
life are running out
Leave us alone together said Ste
phen Orry and Greeba after beating
out his pillow and settling his head on
It was about to move away when he
whispered Not you and held her
back
Then with one accord the others called
on him not to tairy over carnal
thoughts for his soul was passing thro
dark waters and he shculd never take
rest until he had cast anchor after a
troublous voyage
Get religion cried Kane Wade
Lay hoult of a free salvation cried
old Chaise All flesh is as grass
cried Matt Mylechreest Pray without
ceasing they all cried together with
much besides in the same wild strain
I cannot pray the sick man mut
tered
Then well pray for you mate
shouted Kane Wade
Ahfc pray pray pray murmbJed
Stephen Orry but its no good its too
late too late
Now is the pointed time shouted
Kane Wade The Lord can save to
the uttermost the worst sinner of us
all
If Im a sinner let me not be a
coward in my sins said Stephen Or
ry Have pity on me and leave me
But Kane Wade went on to tell the
story of his own conversion It was on
a Saturday night of the mackerel sea
son down at Kinsale The conviction
had been borne in upon him that if he
did not hear the pardoning voice before
the clock struck twelve he would be
damned to all eternity When the clock
began to warn for midnight the hair
of his flesh stood up for he was still
unsaved But before it had finished
striking the Saviour was his and he
was rejoicing in a blessed salvation
How can you torture a poor dying
man muttered Stephen Orry
Call on the Lord mate shouted
Kane Wade Lord I belave help
Thou my unbelafe
Ive something to do and the pains
of death have hold of me muttered
Stephen Orry
He parthoned the thafe on the cross
and hes gotten parthon left for you
cried Old Chaise
Cruel cruel Have you no pity left
for a wretched dying man mum
bled Stephen Orry
Yeve not lived a right life brother
cried Kane Wade and yeve been ever
wake in yer intellects so never take
rest till yeve read yer title clear
You would scarce think they could
have the heart these people you would
scarce think it would you said Ste
phen Orry lifting his poor glassy eyes
to Greebas face
Then with the same quiet grace as
before the girl got up and gently push
ed the men out of the house one by
one Come back in an hour she
whispered
It was a gruesome spectacle the rude
Methodists with their loud voices and
hot faces and eyes of flame trying to
do their duty by the soul of their
fellow creature the poor tortured sin
ner who knew he had lived an evil
life and saw no hope of pardon and
would not be so much a coward as to
cry for mercy in his last hours the
young Icelander looking on in silence
and surprise and the girl moving hither
and thither among then- all like a soft
voiced dove in a cageof hoarse jack
daws
But when the little house was clear
and the Methodists who started a
hymn on the beach outside had gone
at last and their singing had faded
away and there was only the low wail
of the ebbing tide where there had
been so loud a Babel of many tongues
Stephen Orry raised himself feebly on
his elbow and asked for his coat Ja
son found it on the hearth and lifted
it up still damp and stiff from the
puddle of water that lay under it Then
Stephen Orry told him to put his hand
in the breast pocket and take out what
he would find there Jason did as he
was bidden and drew forth the bag of
money Here it is he said what
shall I do with it
It is yours said Stephen Orry
Mine said Jason
I meant it for my son said Ste
phen Orry He spoke in his broken
English but let us take the words out
of his mouth Its yours now my lad
Fourteen years Ive been gathering it
meaning it for my son Little I thought
to part with it to a stranger but ita
yours for youve earned it
No no said Jason Ive earned
nothing
You tried to save my life said Ste
phen Orry
I couldnt help doing that said
Jason and I want no pay
iBut its two hundred pounds my
lad
v
No matter
Then how much have you got
Nothing
Has the wreck taken all
Yes no that is I never had any
thing
Take the money for Gods sake take
it and do what you like with it or Ill
die or torture cried Stephen Orry
and with a groan he threw himself
backward on the bed
Fil keep it for your son said Ja
son His name is Michael Sunlockr
isnt it And he has sailed for Iceland
hasnt he Thats my country and I
may meet him some day
J
v
Then ln a broken voice Stephen Orry
said iTyou have as father he iriustlV
proud of you my lad Who is he
And Jason answered moodily I fcavfr
no father none I ever knew
Did he die in your childhood
No
Before you were born -
Is he alive
Ay for aught I know
Stephen Orry struggled to- his elbow
again Then he has wronged your
mother he said with his breathV com
ing quick
Ay maybe so
The villain Yet who am I to raD
at him If your mother still alive V
No
Where is your father fc J
Dont speak of him said Jason la
an under breath
But whats your name my lad
Jason
With a long sigh of relief Stephen
Orry dropped back and muttered td
himself To think that such a father-
should never have known he had sucb
a son
The power of life ebbed fast in nicq
but after a pause he said
My lad
Well said Jason
Ive done you a great wrong
When did you do me a wrong - -
Tonight
How
No matter Theres no undoing- it
now God forgive me But let me be
your father though Im a dying mai
for that will give you the right to
keep my poor savings for yourself
But they belong to your son saltJ
Jason
Hell never touch them said Ste
phen Orry
Why not said Jason
Dont ask me Leave me alone For
mercys sake dont torture a dyins
man cried Stephen Orry
Thats not what I meant to do
said Jason giving way and if yoo
wish It I will keep the money
Thank God said Stephen Orry
Some moments thereafter he lay qule
breathing fast and loud while Greeba
hovered about him Then in a feebler m
voice he said Do you think my lat
youll ever meet my son
Maybe so said Jason Ill go bac3t
when Ive done what I came to do
What is that Greeba whispereaU
but he went on without answering her-
Though our country Is big our
pie are few Where will he berr
I scarce can say He has gone to -look
for someone Hes a noble boy 2
can tell you that And Its something
for a father to think of when his tima
comes isnt it He loves his father too
that is he did when he was a Iittle
chap You must know he had no moth
er Only think I did everything for
him though I was a rough fellow Ay
I nursed him and comforted him a-
any woman might Ay and the little
man loved me then for all he doesnTfi
bear his fathers name now
Jason glanced up inquiringly first aft
Stephen Orry and then at Greeba Ste
phen saw nothing His eyes were dftnv
but full of tenderness and his deei
voice was very gentle and he rambled
on with many a break and between
many a groan for the power of lif
was low in him
You see I called him Sunlocks Thslz
was because it was kind and close likeu -He
used to ride on my shoulder
played together then having no one
else and I was everything to him anS
he was al lthe world to me Air ticatr
was long ago Sunlocks Little San
locks My little Sunlocks My owao
little
At that point he laughed a little andT
then seemed to weep like a ehildU
though no tears came to his eyes aircfc
the next moment under the pain of
joyful memories and the flow of bloocB
upon the brain his mind began tw
wander It was very pitiful to TooVz
upon His eyes were open but it Tras -clear
that they did not see his utter
ance grew thick and his words were
confused and foolish but his face trass
lit up with a surprising joy and yew
knew that the years had rolled baclf
and the great rude fellow was aIon
with his boy and doating on hinr
Sometimes he would seem to listen as
jf for the childs answer and then- he
would laugh as if at its artless prattle
Again he would seem to sing the little
one to sleep crooning very low a bro
ken stave that ran a bar then stoppetZ
Again he would say very slowly what
sounded like the words of some baby
prayer and while he did so his chtrv
would be twisted into his breast azrtT
his arms- would struggle to cross it ss
though the child itself were once more
back in his bosom
At all this Greeba cried behind her-
hands unable to look or listen any
longer and Jason though she no tearsj
said in a husky vioce He cannot be
altogether bad who loved his son so
Trie delirium grew stronger the Took
of joy and the tender words gave place -to
glances of fear and some quick be
seeching and then Jason said in a
tremulous whisper It must be some
thing to know you have a father wby
Ioves you like that
To be continued -
BLASTS FROM RAMS HORNT
Men are not saved by sentiment-
Dullness sometimes passes for cfeptl
A vice is always more dangerous Jhaiz
a crime
It is not the flowerpot that mafees
the blossoms -
Ground that is barren to seed 5b
often rich in gold
To substitute the good is the bes
way to eradicate the bad
It is vain boasting of your sap un
less you produce the fruit
Wings of prayer can carry you irJiai
serpents of sin cannot crawl
