Oinnlin fin * QUO of the Greatest Med
ical Institutes on tlio American Con
tinent.
Never in its history him the Omaha
Medical and Surgical Institute had so
many patients In its care ns now , and
the general satisfaction it is giving
those who patronize it speaks well for
its future wollfaro. The reason that this
great institute has become even moro
popular in the lust year ihan over is
that the gentleman now at the head is a
man in whom everyone has implicit con
fidence. This gentleman is none other
than Dr. A.T. McLaughlin , the president
and physician in chnrgo. These who do
not know Dr. McLaughlnn personally
consider his success almost phcnominui ,
hut his intimate friends have expected
nothing else from him nud do not con-
elder his success at all phcnominal , but
characteristic of the doctor. Ho is a
gentlemen nnd physician in every sense
of the word and his reputation is spread
ing far nnd near. IIo has placed the
Omaha Medical and Surgical Institute
a solid basis and it Is known today as on
ono of the very best and largest medical
institutes in the United States. In fact
there is no institute in the west
to compare with it. Dr.
MoLnughlln's institute has been long
established , as everybody knows , but
upon visltinc-it now you will find it far
bolter equipped than over in its history.
Its departments are all In complete order
and the advertisements which the doctor
lias caused to bo Inserted in TnuBjiu
from time to time have under estimated
rather than exaggerated their facilities
for the treatment of patients. The insti
tute is fully equipped with the most
powerful electric batturies , conveniences
for administering hot , medicated and
electric baths , as nlso complete ap
paratus for massage treatment. Tlioy
manufacture braces for every kind of de
formity and the superiority of these braces
oyor those made elsowlloro is demon
strated by the fact that Dr. McLaughlin
frequently treats with perfect success
cnses of deformity which other methods
of treatment for years had but little
benofittcd. Dr. "McLaughlin has re
cently put In many different machines ,
invented by himself , for the treatment
of deformities , paralysis and other ner
vous diseases , among which are the
"suspension rack" for the cure of spinal
troubles , which gives relief at its first
application ; and tlio motion apparatus
for the development of weak muscles ,
etc.
etc.Dr.
Dr. MoLaughlln employs only the
most skilled physicians and surgeons
and places at. their disposal every in
strument of worth for examination and
nnd treatment of patients known to med
ical science. Dr. MeLnughlln has just
issued a valuable pamphlet which ho
mails free to these who scud for it. and
it will toll moro about this great insti
tute.
tute.Tho
The people of Omaha and Nebraska
nro proud of Dr. MeLnughlin anil his in-
Btltuto nnd feel convinced that the
Omaha Medical and Surgical Institute
is the place to which the sick nnd suffer
ing should coino for relief.

IJcmictt1 n .Social Gathering.
The employes of W. R. Bennett Co. ,
held n rather unique entertainment on
Monday evening , the 6th inst. , at the
hall 107 S. 14th st. As the chairman ,
Mr. W..Ivo , superintendent of this store ,
remarked , there awj hut few opportuni
ties in a largo house of business like W.
R. Bennett Co.'s for the clerks to become
socially acquainted with each other , and
a social gathering occasionally might bo
the moans of making them all better ac
quainted with each other. W. R. Bennett -
nott Co. , could ho justly called the pioneers
neers of cheap trading in this qity. They
first brought into circulation the hum
ble oonny hero and from a small begfn-
ning atN. 15th st. , they Imvo attained * a
business that is simnly gigantic. Their
success is no doubt duo to their system of
soiling goodsat the lowest possible profit ,
making only one price , and treating all
alike. They hnvo 12 department in their
store , employ over 100 clerics , and quite
an army of drivers , team&tors and stable
help. They carry their business on un
der their constant and personal supervi
sion and are constantly making improve
ments in their business to insure quick
nnd correct service to their customers.
For instancethey have adopted a scheme
whereby their customers can got
waited upon quicker than in any other
house in the city , and whore they can
depend on having exactly what they pay
for , and accuracy in every particular.
It Is appropriate that their employes
should emanate or propose schemes to
benefit their follow clerks. All the
members of the firm wore present at the
gathering and below is a report of the
entertainment.
The first part of the evening was devoted -
voted to music and recitations. Prof.
Butler rendered a delightful selection
on the piano , followed by Mr. R J.
Wherry , who sang "Love's Sorrow. "
Mrs. J. B. Fallen sang in a happy man
ner "Tho Way through the Woods. " A
selection from "II Trovatoro" was sang
by MissBrtha Bnyliss and Mr. Wherry.
"The Frenchman , " a descriptive piece ,
was sang by Mr. W. Ivo. A selected
song by Miss Bnyliss , "Far Out at Sea"
by Prof. Butler and Mr. Wherry , and a
selection by Mrs. J. U. Fallen finished
the fildging. Mr. Mr. Ivo recited "In
the Signal Box" in a pleasing manner.
The floor was then cleared for dancing ,
nnd to the merry strains of an orchestra
the young people chased the flying mo
ments by. Mr. Ivo was the master of
ceremonies , assisted by Messrs. O. Mol-
lan , Chlamla , Iluymnn ajjd Fell.

CONSEHVAIOttY Otf MUSIC.
Still Another Proof Mint Omiliu Is a
metropolitan City.
The latcstj , , addition to the educa
tional galaxy is a young hut
urospcrous conservatory of music , which ,
although only a few months old is al
ready" far beyond the experimental point
and is today one of the recognized ne
cessities of Omaha. The branches of In
struction embrace the piano , vocal
music , the organ , the violin , harmony
and composition nnd the foreign lan
guages. This institution is founded
upon the pan prevalent in
Germany and the larger American cit
ies. The plan of Instruction is similar
to that pursued in our public'ichools. An
other important advantage of the class
system is that it secures bolter instruc
tion and lessens the cost ,
All pupils of the conservatory are
taught harmony free. The faculty is
composed of Profs. E. M. Jones and .1.
G. Cummings , who aroalsotho directors
of the conservatory. Mrs. J. W.Cotton ,
Mr. W. T. Tabor nnd Mr. Charles
Baotons , are too well and favor
ably known to Omaha people
to need introduction or comment.
DProf. Baotons was formerly a professor
in the Cincinnati college of music , and
is a thorough muster of the violin. Miss
Lydiu E. Russell , a graduate of the Cin
cinnati college of music , is instructress in
elocution. Professors Jones and Cum
mings have just returned from taking an
oxtensivecourso of study under Prof.
Xavor Scharwenka ( piano ) and Prof.
Phillip Scharwenka ( composition ) .
They have also attended the best schools
on. this side of the Atlantic. The
next term will open Jan. 14th at the

Postmaster General Clarkson visited
the northwest the past summer travel
ing over the Union Pacific sybtoin and
ho published a glowing account of his
trip in the DCS Moines Register. In
speaking ns to what ho considered the
great of the new northwest country so
recently opened to the world Mr. Clark-
son said :
"I speak warmly and earnestly as
"
will .any person "who id capable of intel
ligent observation who has seen them.
I nave now been all portions of the rc-
Sublic , and I can best express what I
oliovo after such observation by saying
I would rather have my boys take their
chances for life in the northwestern
part of this republic than in tiny other
part of it. First , it Is a now country
and n rich one. and in such a country
a young person always finds lib best
chances. All of the "western slope is
good. California is wonderful in boll ,
in the beauty of climate , and it has an
intelligent , enterprising and generous
people. I do not heliovo that any ono
wishing a now homo could goto Cali
fornia and fail to find a htippy ono.
The same is true of Oregon , Montana ,
nnd all the states of the mountainous
slope. A congenial homo I could find in
any of them , but I beliovolwould rather
prefer the country of Puget Sound , in
Washington , at the points reached by
the Union Pacific , to nny I have over
seen if I were seeking a now homo. It
lias the richest land in America , the
finest scenery and the best climate.
Ptigot Sound , leO miles long , Is the most
beautiful body of water I have overseen.
It is the Mediterranean of America.
Surrounded by great forests and ele
vated mountains , including among them
the Rainier , which rises from the level
earth in its own integrity of a clour out
line nearly 15,000 feet , the moht sirWlme
nnd beautiful of any mountain in Amer
ica , located on the water of the bound
with a setting of a largo hike of fresh
water about it. On the western shore
of the Sound rises the Olympic range ,
always snow-covered and wonderful In
their beauty. I have never soon such a
combination of mountain , son and forest
ns in that country. I have lived all my
lifo in the flat countries of Indiana and
Iowa , and know very little of any other.
But the instinct borne of mountain and
boa , coming down to mo from my sea
going New England ancestors , assorted
itself when I saw this wonderfully beau
tiful country , and hold mo captive. "

Last Wednesday Mr. Tom Ward of
TJvnldo , N. Y. , wont out hunting , taking
with him his liver-colored dog. After
being1 out all the morning ho wont to the
camp of the guards near the pcsthouso
oiit on a slough two miles from town to
take dinner. After j.ho meal ho nnd Mr.
John C. McCarthy took up their guns
nnd started out hunting again.
The dog wandered ahead of them some
distance , and after u while they heard
him barking in a furious manner , and
shortly after they hoard a sharp yelp ac
companied by confused sounds of ilospor-
ate struggle. The gentlemen ran on ,
but > veru unable for quite a while to lo
cate the spot whence the sound c ime.
Finally they separated , nnd Mr. Mc
Carthy pursuing the search came to a
place where the brush was broken down
and the grass torn up , and suddenly ho
heard the sound of the rattles of a mon
ster rattlesnake , and , looking around to
his right , ho observed the largest of that
species over seen or heard of In the
world. IIo fired his Winchester Into the
monster's head and killed it. Mr. Ward
came up , and the two preceded to open
the serpent's stomach , whereupon the
dotj sprung out alive and unhurt , with
tho' exception of a few bruises and a se
vere fright. Tlioy skinned the snake
and brought the hide to town and turned
it over to Mr. Joe Townsend to stulT.
The skin measured thirty-six inches
long and eighteen inches in diameter.
It Is said that the snuko when alive was
much larger. The gentlemen named la
the foregoing uio ; said to bo well known
in Uvaldo county and are of unquestion
ed voracity , and they and other citi/ons
who saw 'the snake and dog on the
ground stand ready to make oath to the
truth of the statement given above.

A work on Hindoo folk lore says that
if n person is browned , struck by light
ning , bitten by u snuko or poisoned or
loses his lifo by any kind of accident or
by buicldo , then ho usually goes to hell.
If ho dies naturally on a bed or roof he
becomes a "bhut,1' or evil spirit , and
with this belief care ia taken on the approach

Lottiioi' for Winter.
Last Christmas a friotiJ of mine wrote
mo quite ontlnihitisticall.v about the lino'
lettuce ho had been enjoying for some
time , and the way ho had managed to
secure it tit that season of the year , with
out the use of greenhouse or frames ,
was so simple that I give it for the
benefit of any reader who is fond of
that vcgotablo _ and may wish to enjoy it
at a time when green stuff is usually
noted for Its absence on the farmer's
table , writes a contributor to Farm and
Fireside. Plants had sprung up promis
cuously and in great abundance from
bpecl scattered by plants loft out in the
garden. This spontaneous crop , favored
by warm fall weather and plentiful rains
grow so exceedingly thrifty that my
friend disliked to seo.tho plants all perish -
ish by the approaching freo/.esniul made
up his mind to try saving at least some
of them. A few boxes were lllleil. with
good , bandy loam , and the half
[ rrown heads , carefully taken up
with soil adhering to the roots , planted
in them as closely as thought to bo bnfo.
I might say they were croxvded. The
boxes were then bet into the collar , near
a light window , and here the plants con
tinued in good condition until used up.
They lasted until after Christmas , and
inadu a number of meals more enjoyable.
Of course , a common frame with hotbed
sasn , whore at hand , may ho put to good
UEO in raising or preserving a crop of
lettuce for use during the early purl of
the winter , buy from Thanksgiving to
Christmas.

Among the residents of this city1 is Rufus
Chealtun , a respectable colored man.
With him live his mother , sister and
two brothers. Cheatam was born at
Patrick Court House , Vu. , and both ho
and. A. S. Nowlin , a son of bis master ,
nursed at the breast of Rufus' mother.
They grew up together , ono as master ,
the other as slave. When the war broke
out Nowlin enlisted in that famous reg
iment , the Patrick grays , of Pickolt's
division , Longstrcet's corps. Cheatam
went out with his master as his servant
and biiw the war through. In 1880 'Now
lin went to Montana and prospered fairly
until a few months ago , when a cyclone
swept the beotlon in which ho resided.
The family fled to the cellar , but Now
lin attempted to go to the barn , whore
ho had borne valuable stock , but the
wind knocked him down , broke his jaw ,
and otherwise injured him. The storm
destroyed his house and did to much
other damage that ] io wan practically
ruined. IIo got together enough money
to reach this city with hisfntnily Christ

The bird was about two feet from the

IT MARKS STRONG JIOI'H.
The Mescal IMnnt
Fihro Tor Gorilnjjo ,
"So you never heard of mescal rope , "
said James K. Ponnington of Cincinnati ,
O. , while at the Troniont house , to n
Chicago Tribune reporter. Mr. Pou-
ningtou is engaged in the manufacture
of nil kinds of strong twine. He is just
returning from a trip through northern
Mexico and southern Arizona , where ho
claims ho has found the material that
will make twine rope so strong that it
will almost never wear out.
"Not much of the rope has yet boon
made. But you may expect to hoar
ilbout it in the nqar future , for it is the
strongest rope in existence today. I
hoard of the mescal plant about eighteen
months ago , and after reading every
thing about it thut I could find in the
encyclopedias , I uamo to the conclusion
that it was just what wo wanted. I
found acres and acres of the mescal In
Arizona and Mexico. Tlio plains are
like cabbages , and on a largo stalk that
grows up alongside the head of tha
mescal are long-stemmed louvci
with sharp and hard pointed ends.
The sharp end ia something like the
needle of a cactus. The soft p.irt of th
leaf can bo removed and the sto
stretched out for a yard or more , it is BO
clastic. Then lot it dry in the sun and
you have a needle without an eye al
ready threaded. The Mexicans aut }
some of the Arl/.onlans use nothing else \
but the mescal thread and nuedio , aii
they call it to sow their garments with.
You cay make just as line it thread 04
you want. When you desire a small
thread pull the stem and it will grow
smaller , just like a little rubber baud
when you stretch it hard. Tlio thread
is as strong as wire.
"I have also discovered that rope and
heavy twine can bo made of the mescal
and have purchased 500 acres in Ari
zona for my company , which will bo
turned into an immense mescal patch.
For the rope the big stems of the leave *
of the mc.scnl head can ha utili/.od.
There tire about ono hundred leaves on
each head , and the stunis of half that
number can bo used to manufacture the
ropo. I had a piece of three-quarter
inch rope made while there and exports
In the factory pronounceit the strong
est material in the rope line yet made.
It will not rot hi water when properly
cured and will last I can say , without ex
aggeration , fifty times longer than tha
best ordinary cordage. The manufac
ture of mescal rope and twinu is bound
to bo one of the greatest induitritM in
the country. The United Slates and
Mexico , I am almost certain , can have
tlio entire market to themselves in this * "
line of trade , betauso the mescal plant
will not grow In any other soil nnd cll
mate except of Arizona and , Mexico. "
