The Burlington Railway company is tnak-
Inj ; preparations for Improvements In the
frelRht dcpc.1 which will rnablo thorn to fur
nish their patrons batter facllltloi. The tre
mendous amount of business which Is being
done In the Implement line renders It Impos
sible for the improvements to bo made at
once , but thev will bo bpgun as soon as the
spring nnh is over. The freight depot ,
which is In two sections at present ,
will bo brought to grade and the two sections
united , the whole being surroundad by a
platform , which will bo about IOJ feet lonsrer
on each end of the depot than It now is. The
road which encircles the depat will bo
paved , so that the heavily laden wapons wl 11
not sink out of siRht In the mlro ns tnuy

platform Is already on the cround nnd work
will bo commenced as soon as posslhlo with

matters arc at a standstill. W. J. Daven
port , freight agent of tko company in this
city , states that Iho ofllclals of the company
arc nil ready to build a nexv local depot ns
teen as it is decided definitely that Council
[ Muffs Is not to have a union depot. Ho has
jeen trying for many months past to Induce
the company to btiH'il without waiting for
; he other matter to bo decided. The ofilctals ,
aov\ever , are not , willing to spsnd 510.00J or
$15,000 on a local depot with a probability of
having to spend $3oUO * > or so on a union
depot soon.
Incidentally It might bo mentioned that
the construction of the Northwestern local
depot is to Uo commenced nt once , word to
that effect uavlnc been received from hcad-
quaiterb. The officials of this road
state that the erection of a local
depot will bavo no cffct , whatever ,
on their connection with the union
depot scheme , cither for or against. They
arc so situated that a local depot will bo a
necessity to their business , and they still
consider themselves bound by their contract
to go into the union depot scheme when tno
other roads arc induced to fullll their thara

With more railroads than any other
city in the west , with nearly 100 passen
ger trains coming1 and goinp daily and
the largest nnd finest hotels in the Mis-
Fouri valley , the wonder has been for
months past why n bichloride of gold
cure iutitutu has not boon established
heie. Js'p city in the west ailords such
ouportuuitics for people to slip in
quietly and take a course of treat
ment and get away without the
annoyance of publicity. It is not sur
prising that while local uhysicians were
making elaborate arrangements for
opening n big establishment , shrewd
parties from abroad should perceive the
opportunity and quickly take advantage
of it. The field is now filled. Com
mencing Monday tno Blanchard insti
tute will be able to take cnre of all who
desire to break the thraldom of
alcoholism , the opium , morphia and
tobacco habits. Offices have been
fitted up on the second floor over
the "Corner" bookstore , opposite tbo
postofiice building , ana Mr. Blanchard
and his assistants will bo glad to meet
any and all the unfortunates xvho desire
relief. Ho will guarantee a quick and
safe euro of all those terrible habits , and
will insure a disgust for the pernicious
stimulants that will be an effective and
permanent preventive. During the
coining week ho will treat a limited
number of patients free of charge to
show the prompt and wonderful effect of
the cure. Handsome and cozy oilices
have been fitted up and they will no
doubt be visited by many people from
western Iowa in the future.

The retirement of Edwin Booth from the
stage , which promises to bo permanent ,
loaves America without a great "Hamlet , "
but there are several j'ounger men striving
to become worthy the succcssorshin of that
eminent actor. This aspiration is wholly
commendable and is the justification of any
earnest , intelligent effort for its realization.
Mr. Robert Mantell has entered the lists
for the coveted honor , and Omaha
was afforded the opportunity at. the
Boyd last eveningto test his
powers and measure their promise. The result
"
sult Is hardly reassurinc to" the critical ob
server. Mr. Mantell brings spirit and intel
ligence to his work , and in some of the pas
sages of stormy emotion sweeps away criti
cism , but by far the greater time his acting
is palpable. His posing is too obvious , his
falsetto too sybillant , bis reading too decla
matory and his subtlety too elusive. Despite
these faults Mr. Mantell presents an inter
esting interpretation , which finds much
laver with the general audience.
Miss Cbarlotto Bnhrens is an act
ress of moderate powers , who has the
gopd sense to keep within her limitations ,
and shn presented a graceful and acceptable
characterization of "Ophelia. " Ot the bal
ance of the company little can be raid In

wholly wanting , but their USD may be justi
fied in the assumption that tbo ambitious
star must employ such agencies as he can
aflord.
Arrested the Attorney.
Attorney William Simeral enjoyed the ex
perience of being arrested in Council Bluffs
yesterday on a charge of embezzlement. Ho
went over there to cause the arrest of Emll
Schurz , a Bluffs attorney , on a similar charco ,
and was successful. His own arrest was the
result of Schurz' attempt to retaliate.
It seems that Schurz collected f49.1.j duo
Milton Rogers & bon from R. L. Williams ,
and refused o turn it ocer when the demand
was made. Ho claimed that ho was about to
collect it on execution even after It was in
his possession , and when Simeral went over
on the first of tbe month and in
sisted on n settlement Schurz gave him
a check on tbo Citizens bank in part pay
ment The chock was protested when pre
sented for payment at the bank. Schurz al
leged that Williams did not pay the full
amount of the judgment and that when ho
( Schurz ) refused to receipt the docket In
full Williams instructed him not to turn over
ice money. Williams , however , denied this
and showed Schurz' personal receipt for tbo
lull amount.
Stmcral decided to act , and bad Schurz
arrested. Tbo latter filed a complaint alleg
ing that Simeral hod collected a note for ! 5
and withheld tha proceeds. Simeral states
that ho did not collect the money , but on tbo
contrary returned tbo note to Schurz some
time ago.
Both defendants wcro released on ball In
tbo sum of $3QJ each. Simeral states that
bcburz' assertions to the effect that tbe matter
will oa settled and prosecution dropped is
without foundation , as ha proposes to push
the case to tbo end.

The old Military BridRO stable at the corner
of Twenty-fifth and Cumlng streets was
totally aeitrojcd b.r fire jcstcrday afternoon
together with ttic adjoining building to the
cast.
Just about 4:30 Clerk Hajbrouck , em
ployed In Olot Bang's drut ; store , which oc
cupies the eastern part of the stable build
ing , noticed smoke coming from the rear
Dart of the store and gave the alarm. A
still alarm was sent in from No. 1 engine
house , wntch was followed by n regular
alarm and a few moments later a second
alarm was cent which brought ten hose
companies and two trucks to the scene.
When the department arrived la lorco the
whole stable and the adjoining block was a
mass of flames and It required hard and
quick work to keep the fire within bounds.
Joseph Dougherty , the lessee of the stable ,
wblcn was owned by Major Jobn 13. Furay.
at the first sign of smoke called his men and
managed to get nil his horses , buggies nnd
harness out beloro the roof fell. The still
westerly wind which was blowing nt the
time fanned the flumes and llterallv ate up
the frame structures in a remarkably short
space of time. The upper story of the barn
was tilled with baled hay and grain , which
burned with great rapidity and fury and for
a lime almost baffled the efforts of the firo-
men.
men.Tho fire probably started In an unoccupied
room adjoining the druir store , where Drue-
gist Uanp had tome paints , oils nnd varnish
stored. Some say that an explosion occurred
Just before the fire was discovered. From
tbc livery stable the llames loapnd to a small
barn In fie rear , union was used as a grain
and bay storehouse. A coupla of car loads of
hay was stored In the upper part , nnd nt one
time it looked as if tbtuvdole structure would
go up. Tbo firemen rushed Into the smoking
bullning nnd throw out fully 100 bales of buy
before tbc great mass was entirely allnme.
When it uecamo impossible to remain up
stairs the supports of the hay mow were cut
down , and the blazing bales fell to the
ground. A half dozen strnams of water
played on the burning hcrso feed , ana wltbm
half an hour every spark of fire in this bunch
of nay was extinguished.
At the Cuming street front of the stable
considerable hay was stored and it took
'
quite a while for th'c firemen to get at it.
The roof and front of tbo building burned so
fast that when the fire got to worn on tbo
hay It was almost a soothing furnace and the
firemen had a hard time of it In trying to
throw the burnlne bales into the street ,
Tbc frame building adjoining tbo stable oa
the east nnd owned by A. Pedersen was
damaged considerably by fire and water.
Tbo fire burned the roof off and completely
wrecked the rooms below.
Major Furar , who owned the military road
stables , said that the building was out up in
1SS4 and cost ftl.SUO. He carried an insur
ance of about ? 3OJO. Olof Bang , the drug
gist , lost the most from water. Ho carried
a M.OOJ stock and was insured for $3,000.
The notion store of P % ' Hanscn was consid
erably damaged , bur'tho loss will bo fully
covered by tbo $1,100 Ihsurance.
Doucherty had eight car loads of hay in the
two barns and will 16so'all of it , as he had
no insurance.
Cuming-street for a while jvas literally
naved with hose excepting the space occu
pied by the household goods which had been
hastily removed by Ibe frightened residents
nearby. It was a great show foribo small
boy as well as nault ? . The streets , alleys
and surrounding bluffs were black witb. curi
ous people.
Captain Murphy of trucU 2 had his right
hand severely cut by falling glass , which was
the only accident any importance which
occurred.
The total loss will hardly be above $20,000.

Cochrane , Kev. George Hendley of Weeping
Water , Rev. G. J. Powell of Chaaron and
Mr. W. H. Russnll of Omaha , mot a number
of the prominent citizens of Omaha yester
day afternoon at the Dime Savings bunk and
Discussed the probability and possibilities of
removing Doane college from Crete to Omaha.
Kev. Mr. Hendloy was chosen chairman of
the meeting. He explained to the gentlemen
present that the CongresnUoualists of
Nebraska had come , to the conclusion that
tbe only way to make a complete success
of Doane college was to remove it to some
largo city and concentrate the effort that Is
being expended upon both Doano and Gates
colleges in one supreme effort to build up one
strong university.
Kev. Mr. Hendle.v said In tbo event that
Doane college should be removed to Omaha
or some other city he tnougbt the institution
would take with it about $25,000 in cash , an
endowment of KHJ.OOO and tbe Bos well ob
servatory , which Is considered the finest ob
servatory in tbe state. The college has about
000 acres of land worth $25 per aero and
three very good college buildings. The
buildlnc * would probably be kept for tbe
use of the academy.
Dr. George L. Miller was present and ad
dressed the meeting. He presented to the
commlttecmen some very forcible arguments
tending to show that the r could not do better
than to locate the college here. He said that
a small tract of 'and in Omaha would bo
worth n creat deal more to the college In a
few years than a very largo tract located in
some country town. If the college was ever
to be c real , tbe doctor held , it must bo removed -
moved to Omaha , for Omaha was tbo center
of commerce , capital , brains and energy In
Nebraska.
Mr. A. P. Takey stated that ho was not
entirely convinced that Doano college could
bo removed from Crete. Ho thought tbero
might bo conditions in tbo-endowment that
would make it very difficult to pick the college -
lego up and set 1C down in some
other place. The gentlemen present
to confer with Omaba citizens upon
tbe fcubject , however , seemed to tblnk that
there would bo hut/ little difficulty experi
enced in that particular direction. They
seemed to think tba rtho removal of Doano
college from Crete was practically a decided
question , end the next step would bo to de
cide upon the new location. The question of
location would dnprma a good deal upon the
inducements bo'.a obt by tbo larger cities of
the state suitably located.
Dr. Miller said bo * vus ready at any tlmo to
mate the Concrozatlonullstsn'pro position , JuU
as soon as tbey decided to come to Omaha ,
but he did not w b to compete with H. G.
Clarit or any other cWken of Omaha in tbe
matter of doni > tlc lands. When tbey
watited a proposition oil they had to do waste
to Inform him to tbat.effoct ,
Mr. H. G. Clark also said that be would
bo on hand with a proposition when tbo com
mittee wished to consider something of that
kind , but be would tike to have somu sugges-

To whom H May Concern ;
This is to eortffv that 1 have boon n
constant sufferer for nmnv years with
catarrh , asthma and bronchial affec
tions of the throat , and tried all the
mtont medicines and remedies I over
heard of , but with no success. I ticated
with doctors in various parts of the
country , but HOMO of them could do mo
any good further than giving mo shor
temporary toilet. I buffered niuht nn
ilny. and continued to grow worse not
withstanding nil the medicine I hul
tnkon. I hud almost given up mv case
as hopeless when I was informed bv n
frionct of Dr. C. Goo Wo , the Chinese *
doctor , and mlviscd to go and boo him in
the hope of getting relief nt least , if not
n permanent cure for my troub'o. ' I was
t'ow ' in making up my mind to mtiko
such n radical change in my treatment ,
us I knew n trinl with the Chlnoso doc
tor would bring me , but I Hnally con
cluded to give him a trial. M > I called at
hisolnco with that intention. I lound
thf doc-to.-- clover , entertaining gentlp
mnn , thoroughly posted on my condi
lion , and it took only a varv short tlmo
to convince mo that ho was the party I
was so long iu search of. He told mo
my case was curable , and that ho coultl
cure me , and prouared tno a soeeiivl
treatment to suit my condition , and in
two weeks 1 wns j o much botte1.- that I
had the fullest confidence in the doctor's
ability and committed my case to his
treatment. I continued tn grow bailer
rapidly and am now entirely well. I
owe my euro to Dr. C Gee \Vo , and am
not ashamed to admit it. I advise all
who want relief from their troubles to
call on Dr. C. Gee Wo. and they will bo
cured. For all particulars apply or
