UT on the pralrlo ,
ftovunty-lhica mlle
from Chicago , lies the
llttlo town of IJwiirht ,
\tmt n few years ago a
homely , uninteresting
village , now the Mecca
of hundreds of the vic
tims of alcohol and
opium , and the ono plicoln thu world for
which thousands of \ \ omen's prayers ascend
dally.
At Dwight Is established the Keoioy Insti
tute for the euro of drink diseases , opium
and kindred habits , mid there Dr. ICeeloy.tho
discoverer of thu bi-chlorido of gold specific ,
Is dally maklnc Strong , self-ruspectitig , use
ful men out of sodden , disgraced and worse
than useless drunkards.
It seems an incredible thing to many people
that a man can bo so thoroughly cured of his
drunkenness us to ubtior thu thought ol
whisky. That ho can look with pity upon
his former comimnlons who are still follow
ing the Ignus-fatuus of alcoholic mental
elevation ( which ends in the depths
of mental depression ) , and that he
con look upon life with hope , seeing nothing
ahead but happiness and the oppor
tunity for rotioivlng a miserable past. Those
people who lemumber their drunken
acquaintance as n creature of very weak clay ,
who laughed at or pitied the vacillating mind ,
who despised ids tbrlftlessness and con
demned his weakness ns a vice , are surprised
to see him return from Dwight u healthy
being , fiom whoso eyes look u calm Intelli
gence and wtioso self-respect parries the old-
time laughing tolerance with which ho was
ivout to bo greeted.
Many well moaning people who , from early
education and alack ot progressive thought ,
itlll look upon drunkenness merely ns a vice
which can Do cuted only by long-winded tem
perance crusades , prayers and statutory pro
hibition , will learn much and make their ef
forts roully useful by becoming acquainted
with Dr. ICoeloy's methods and his great
ipcclilc.
The experience of drinking men Is much
the same. The man of experience in the world
knows that the men who fall into the
pit of drunkenness are usually iho whole-
louled , generous , soft-hearted fellows
wiio are In love with life , who crave compan
ionship and who drift from mere conviviality
into illseaso before they aronware of It. Unt
this docs not moan that every whole-souled
generous man becomes a drunkard , inoiely
that a hard , grasping , unsympathetic man
tins not the elements within him to take thu
llrst stops on thu road. The kind , lovable
boy who llrst drinks mild alcoholic mixt
ures for the fun of it and thu rollicking com-
[ ) iinlonshlp of it , is usually the drunkard of
afterlife , of whom it Is said pityingly : "It's
tuo bad ho drinks t > o , ho used to bo such a
nice , smart follow. " For this reason , I con-
tund that in nine cases out of ten , drunken
ness is not the icstilt of natural vicious len
iencies , but a disease started for fun and su
perinduced by years of moderate drinking ,
tbo victim awakening .somo day to the fact
that alcohol has become u disease stronger

Thu world has long boon in the habit of
looking upon consumption , smallpox and
other well known maladies us the .scourges
of mankind , and thu oiTorts of science have
been constantly turned toward alleviating
them Drunkenness , the greatest and oldest
of nil scourges , has been treated as a vice
and punished as such and has gonu ou In-
cieasing until It has got to bo .such a com-
aionnlaco thine as to attract hardlv any
attention except from those eonilny directly
in communication with It. If cases of small
pox , a not necessarily fatal disease , were as
common as cases of tha alcoholic disease and
ao effort was inado to euro them , or If well-
meaning people endeavored to euro them only
with orations and pinyom , there would boa
howl that would touch from Now Yoik to
San Francisco. That drunkuniuiss Is n dis
ease Is no longer a matter of doubt , and that
t specltlo for its certain euro is in existence ,
is a cold , hard fact.
A c vsi : AM > irs ( LIU : .
I will not discuss the pathology of drunk-
tnnossH as u disease , but will toll of my
own case for the bcnuHt of many of my
friends and acquaintances in Omaha , and if
It shall bo the causa of their cure , I shall feel
that I have ilouo a pleasant duty. For twelve
years 1 had been addicted to the use of
ulcohol , starting out as u boy with thought-
lass companions for thu fun of it , and be
cause I was curious to know of what stult
the world was made , and to sou that myster
ious ami fascinating tiling called "life. " I
naw "life" and got used to it , but did not
Hop drinking than for the reason tliut 1
thought as many man do today , that there
was no necessity for stopping , and that I
could atop when I wanted to. hlfo came
uompar.ulvoly easy to mo , J had no respon
sibilities buyond caring for iujbclf , and If I
did not maku inonoy and rise in my profcs-
lion llitu my follows , 1 considered It no one's
business but my ownmm scoffed the thought
that my drinking habits hud anything to do
with it. Then what 1 called
"hard Inek" visited mo u few
limes mid I tried to stop drinking
to see if that would help matters , and it al
ways did. But'returning prosperity brought
back friends and conviviality and tor u num
ber of > oars it was u sea-saw. This was the
llrst stages of drunkenness , but I did not
know It. Than 1 awoke ono day to thu ical-
Izatlon that without whisky lite- was not
worth much and It alarmed me. 1 tried to
ttop drinking uud could do .so far n short
lima , but only at ttia sacrillcu of constant bat-
llo with my appetite to the exclusion of
everything that made llfu worth lit ing , and
then I would Hllp bucic to drinking. It had
got so far with mo tlmt it required the great
est mental utfort to suppress the fact being
known that I was constantly more or less
under the liilluonco of Honor. This constant
repression was a strain that were mo out and
only called for more alcohol , Thou I stopped
for ono year , and during tlmt time , which
tumid have been the happle.it , 1 was most
miserable , constantly lighting temptation.
Thoismcll of liquor would almost drive mo
rruzy with desire and In splto of my otTorls
Dot to do no my thoughts would constantly
revert to whisky , hut 1 placed myself under
luclin sense of responsibility that 1 taught
ntvsolf to believe that to tuku u drink would
bo u fearful crime , It was horrible , and I do
out want such another light. During iho
coiiYiiltm-ent.il from a long nleknosi whisky
tva piviui'ilied and 1 gloated ever the pros'-
puct of once more having whisky. My reso
lution had bean broken and I returned to my
old onamy with n ilammess of appetite which
torrllled mo. but which 1 could not resist.
From that time until I was cured my nppo-
IIto was on the increase and It required inure
alcohol ovorv day to sutisfv it. 1 made him-
dredi of promises to stop drinking , signed
pledges uiul took oaths , but thu disease was
Urongur than uuy of them , Life had become
ft burden , thu past a hideous nlghtinaru that
oppressed my waking hours and disturbed
mv ' dreams. There was nothing to liopo
fo'rlu the future ; nothing to look forward to
but a dishonored grave. Ambition , etiorgy
nd morul control were under thu complete
subjugation of nt'-ohol. All my faculties wcro
centered upon ono thing alcohol Tno V'H-
ous problem of eacli day HIM how to ROI It
Whisky was the last thln I thought of at
night and iho lint thing in the morning I
ale almost nothing ; ono meal n day and that
at night when 1 had become nlmo't exhaust
ed from fusttng Together with all thU , I
was a "cigaretto fiend , " consuming from
twenty W thirty of the abominable llttlo
p < rtts K day. In fact I w.ii virtually an ar
senic Imbltuo from tholr use. I WAI nt this
tlmo consuming all the way from n pint to
three pints of whisky a day.
HOKS TO IWIUIIT.
Atthlsstagoof thodlsouio when despair
hud fmtoncd upon mo I saw n copy of the
Chicago Tribune containing nn account of
Dwlght and Its euros and wrote to tr. ICeo-
loy outlining my cine , llo replied IM a
kindly letter that ho could euro mo and
advised mo to start nt onco. The next day I
loft Chlcngo with mingled hope and doubt in
my heart , and nrrivod nt Dwight law In the
evening. I nt once sought Dr. ICceiey's onico
and took my llrst " .shot" ( I. e. Injection of
bi-chlorldo of gold ) , and then waited for my
Into.vlow with the doctor. The llrst thing
ho said to mo wits :
"Ulvo mo your elgurottoi. Wo don't allow
cigarette smoking horo. "
And I turned over my stock of cigarettes ,
of which I had brought quito a largo supply ,
and saw thoni crumbled up and thrown into
the Mro. The doctor talked to mo In n kindly
and hopeful vein and assured mo that \\ould I
bo cured permanently. Ho then guvo mo n
bottle of uiodlctnu and four ouncoj of good
Kentucky whisky , which ho told mo to tike
during Iho night If I found sleep impossible.
I went to the boarding house provided for
mo feollin ; moro hopeful than I had for
voars On the morning of my third
day nt D > viuht I awoke and
'
saw a bottle of whisky on the
dressing caso. Habit said to mo : "Drink
It. " 1 turned to Desire , but Desire had
gone , and Common Sense said : "Toss It out
of the window. "
Out It went ami from that day to this I
have not had n drink of whisky nor have I n
particle of desire for it.
It.seems as though I hud awakened out of n
long and horrible illness with all luvor gone ,
all pain allayed and a nameless relief and
comfort In its place. Wlilskv Hoorns to mo as
of something I had never known in lanllty , a
turrinlo , vagua nightmare. That is what Dr.
Kcuiey and Ills bl-chlorldo of gold has done for
me , and thousand * of others like mo , and
infinitely worse. The treatment is harmless ,
painless and without that distress which
accompanies thu usual "sobering up" process.

The ICeuloy institute Is not an asylum , a
sanitarium or a place of unforced re
treat in any sense of the word. It is
merely n gatheilng of what Dr. Keeloy
calls " ( jod's unfortunates , " come together
to be cured of u disease which has blighted
tlii'ir lives Thu men live wliord they elioio
in hotnls or boarding houses , and in a style
best suited to their purses. Four tunes a day
tlioy como together nt the doctor'8 olllco for
hypodermic treatment , which the men call
the "shot , " and dui ing waking hours they
take the medicine internally every two
bouts. Otherwise their tlmo Is their oiwi ,
and they nmusu themselves as they please.
The cotfntry cannot show u liner assomomgu
of men than step up to the doctor's olllco
four times n day. Among thorn uro men
whoso names are known all over the coun
try. There are millionaires , lawyers , news
paper men , merchants , politicians , clerks ,
farmers , doctors and mechanics. Opio 1' .
Head , the author and humorist , remarked
out ) day as ho glanced along the line :
"If a man would stuv herd long enough , ho
would meet every good fellow in the coun
try "
Whether It Is the medicine , the en
vironment or the bond of
sympathy that exists between the men. I
do not it now , out certtin it H that at no time
In my life have I seen such exhibitions of un-
.solllshness and Klndnuss us I saw at Dwight.
Every man's hand was turned to do n kindly
service for his follow unfortunate , and the
new comer taxon in hand and madu to feel
that tha dlsgiuco did not lie lu cnmmg to
Dwight , but in staying away.
As to thu diOlculty of curing some cases
I do not believe the" man has sunk to such
depths of debauchery by whiskey or opium
that Dr. IColloy cannot euro him. Ono case
In mind is that of Dr. W. II. .tannings , of
New York , who arrived at Dwight In u semi-
Idiotic state and whoso dose waj 100 grains
of morphine and ono pint of raw alcohol a
day. Ho was oured in course of time and
is now in New York rotreiving his pi notice.
I have seen men brought , thcro in raving dc-
llcium and in a few days have hold
pleasant conversation with them on a
variety of subjects. If they want to
get cases that Dr. ICoeloy cannot euro they
will have to dig them up out of tbo coma-
lories.
On Dr. Kcoloy's .start are several physicians
who are ex-patients , and who nro us learned
n hotly of men as practice in any citv in the
country. They undeistand from experience
thu nature of tha cases they handle , and it is
worthy of record that since the institution
has opened not ono man bus died fiom the el-
fects of tils disease or the treatment.
The morphine and opium habits are cured
us readily us alcoholism. The worst cases
that go to Dwight uro the morphine men.
Some of them uro complete wrecks morally ,
mentally and physiciaily , but they are all
cured. In ever live thousana cases ctirnd by
Dr. Kcoloy only n per cant of the men have
gene buck'to dissipation , and these were very
young men who had not got over thinking
tlmt it was "smart" to gut drunk and who
had not suffered tha awful consequences
of diunlccnnoss , or men who were of
unsound mind. Dr. Keeloy does not guaran
tee to put brains and murals into u man , but
ha docs agivu to relieve him of his appetite
for liquor and restore him physically , and if
a man relapses after that it is through pure
"cussedness , " The treatment is absolutely
harmless and u man's physical condition
while nt Dwight is looked alter ns. carefully
us if he woio in thu bust hospital , The after
ctTui'.ls of thu medicine are only pruiopllblo in
the healthy color , bright eyes , absence from
bloat and marks of general good health which
ox-patients carry about with tlinm. Thov
all seem to have been pumped full of fresh
naw blood.

Last March ono of the most remarkable
clubs In the world was founded at Dwight ,
A little body of men used to meet several
times u dav In thu blacksmith shop
of the village "smithy , " a rare ,
.quaint character named Billy WPIMO ,
wboio wall water was thu host In
town , and theretake our medicine nt tbo pro-
sciibed time. Weese hud a homely , hearty
way of talking to a now and despondent man
tlmt usually brought him to see that there
was something to live for , and ns n story
teller nnd n rccountor of "true lies , " ho beat
some of the piofessionals who used to sit
noout ill ? forgo and swap with him. Some of
the patients had u habit of .sitting about the
hotels telling stale and morbid stories In
Which bad whisky , snakes nnd blue monkeys
figured oxtunsivolynnd this wo dotormmed'to
Ineak up If posslblo. So thu Bl-Chlorldu of
Gold club was born , and "Major1 Sam
Mooie of Httshurg , I'a. , us ho was nlYcctlon-
atel\ called , wus , oluctod the iliv > t president ,
"Major" Mooia wai Just the man to start an
Infant industry of that kind , and bin energy
in discouraging whisky stories and providing
unique amusements forthomc.ii was such that
thu club soon grow out of its swad
dling clothes in the blacksmith shop
and arrived at the dignity of u constitution
and bjlaws , minutes and now club rooms.
Now the club numbers over fivu hundred
men , scattered all over the United States , all
ofhom uro earnest In their endeavor to
raise men from the depths of drunkenness
nnd despair to n place besldo themselves.
This is temperance work lu lu tiuest sense.
Last weak n branch of the Bl-Chloildu of
Cold club was organUud in Chicago with
sixty members ns u starter , and with the
genial and big-huartod Opio Hand In thu
chair. Other members will Join rapidly , nnd
us boon us men arrive [ ram Dwight they will
bo allowed to enter. The purpose of the
club Is to establish funds to send worthy
men to Dwight , loaning thorn money to pay
their expenses , which , when returned , is
loaned to others , A number of wealthy gen
tlemen In Chicago have ottered to intrust the
club with funds for this purpose , Thu mem
bers of tha club wear a badge , a fac
simile of which li the Initial letter
to this article , and tholr eood work Is being
felt in many quarters. Many u drunkard is
now seeing light ahead of him and t us ting
thu ] oys of life because of the Interest taken
Ir. him by ono of iho brotherhood. The motto
of thu club is the fourth commandment of
Budda , ns translated by Sir Kdwln Arnold
In tils "Light of Asia , " nnd Is singularly ap
propriate. It was suguontud by the late Dr.
Bon Miller , of Chicago , a lamented munibur
of the club , and is ns follows :

Ills father and grandfather before him were

first physician no appointed In the United
States. For n number of years ufler
thu discovery of the remedy his pa
tients for drunkenness nnd the opium
habit wore few , as ho has never advertised
his remedy , and It is only through Iho volun
tary publication of tholr cures by grateful
patients in their doilro that others might bo

Hon. Joseph Mcdillof thu Chicago Tribune
has taken In thu ulloviullon of drunkenness ,
tnat the Ki'oluy Institute and the rrnnd work
of reformation it is carrying on became so
widely known.
Dr. Keeloy has been giving Ills constant

that ho became utterly worn out nnd has
gone to Huropo to recuperate. Ho will re

The publication In these columns , three
veoks ago , of some of the details of the con
solidation of three of the principal ICnlghts
of Pythias lodges in this city has occasioned
a great deal of comment. Members of tuo
order who ore generally very chary about
giving voice to their opinions have had no
hesitancy In expressing themselves as hearti'y '
ashamed of the spirit whioh has character-
bed the entire proceedlnps.
It has been Joarned Unit a majority of the
onicors of Oriole lodge. Including the acting
chancellor commander , siuncd a memorial to
the grand chancellor protesting against , the
selling of the charter of that lo.tgi.1. This
protest was presented to the grand chancellor
Uul no notice was token of it and no answer
returned.
A member of the order , whoso standing is
unquestionable and who has taken a gre.t
interest in overytlu'nir pertaining to ttio order ,
surnmc'med the situation about as follows :
A losolutlon was Dijsscd bv Oriole lodge , and
also by Mt Shust'a and Franklin lodges ,
providing for the nimointrnont of u committed
of three from each lodge to form a now lodge ,
after which ttio three loJces were to con
solidate with the now lodge. It wasBUpposed
Unit the committee would report progtess to
their respective lodges.
The chancellor commander of Oriole lodge
formed ono of ttio committee from ttiat
lodge. >
After the passage of this resolution by
Oriole lodge no meeting of that ledge was
hold and no ropoit was made to the ledge by
the committee.
The meinoor above referod to as authority ,
after staling thvs'e facts , continued. ' 'The
whole transaction * Wiis illegal , ] . Because ,
by a lopal quibble , the operators of the
scheme have defeated the plain intent of the
hiW'Which rrqiurcsl that , when a consolida
tion italics place , ono ledge shall ? rfctain it *
naino and number.
" . Cards were illegally granted to mem
bers of Oriole lodge who , did not apply In
person or io writlilf , at a regular meotini ! for
their cards -and in at least ono case , a card
was urantcd n member who was neither
present nor applied for his card and who
icfused to acci-'nt it. Cards were a o issued
to the members of the committee of three
from Oriole lodee Including ono to the chan
cellor commander who was a member of the
committee , when the e members had not ap
plied for their cards , they being isiucd on the
strength of the resolution providing for tluo
committee.
,1. Allowing that the cards were legally
granted , the members who accepted them
thereby severed their connection with Oriole
ledge and could not legally net as a commit
tee of that lodgo.
" 4. Even admitting that the whole thing
was done legally , It shows a spirit of unfair
ness between brothers , as no chance was
given members to express thoirdoslre , which ,
while not requited by law , would seem to bo
dictated by that spirit of biothcrly love
which is supposed to dominate the breast of
every Pythian.
"By the withdrawal of the chancellor com-
iniunior for iho purpose of forming a new
lodge , the ledge was left In chui-ga of the vice
chancellor , who was responsible for tno prop
erty , and especially for the charter The
charter of the lodeo' was deliberately stolon.
Who stole It I don't pretend to say , but the
grand chancellor claims to have it in his pos
session.
"Still another noint the number civen to
Triune lodge , 50 , belonged to a ledge at Nio-
braia at the last session of the urand lodge
If that ledge is defunct , it has died during
the past year. Supnoso the members of that
ledge should apply to the grand ledge at its
next session tor the restoration of its charter
how c.in it bo lestorcdi The law. or at least
the custom , requires that the number of a
defunct ledge bo lolt vacant until after the
session of tlm grand lodge next succeeding
the data on which tl'O lodge became defunct.
I mlchtsav that thin is not the only instance
in which this regulation has been violated. "
Tin ; Ohio Case.
As the result of a feud in the Masonic
fraternity of Ohio , growing out of the differ
ences between the Northern jurisdiction and
the United State * jurisdiction of the Scottish
rite , tlioro has been a split in tha Mnstor
Masons. ' giand ledge of that state. The gland
ledge has placed nil blue ledge Ma
sons Identified with the United
States Jurisdiction under u ban , and
this has culminated in the creation
of the grand ledge of Ancient , I'Yco and
Accepted Masons of Ohio , which received
its charter from tjo ) secretary of state on
Thursday last. 4 < Vll'l'QVOcau'u ' elauso In the
constitution of the- grand body provides :
"Italian bo u funllaifaental and unchangeable
law and landmark of this grand ledge of

shall rocognlio iUtiMasonio no degrees in
Masonry except thow of entered apprentice ,

recognize as Maspa nuv body which confers
other than those tbiuo degrees. "
