of Omaha In order to set forth the facts In
this cuso xvhlch deems to bo In . irmtiy re-

pcricnco of tno much respected Juilgo Clark-
ton.
ton.IA > ur years ngo thin physician , who then
had n romuni-ratlvo ntut Brewing practice
and was Inplily icspecicd with refiard to both
his medical and ponnnnl worth , found It
necessary to undergo n very severe treat-
inontof his oyos. Ills nflllctlon was exactly
similar to that which overtook Judge Clark-
on , und ho consented , taihpr than to run
the trotnonilous HSK of total blindness
for the remainder of his days , to
BUbmtt to the same severe treatment that
brought about the mysterious and remarkable -
able episode In the lifo of .luiltie Clarkson.
The physician wus obltcccl to remain In a
dark room for nearly two weeks utittprgoliiK
torture that would huvo driven the average
man Insane , but ho cuino out with oycslsht
rostotoJ. It WHS the last hone anil the
rcsutofthat which partoolc of the nature
of n dreadful nut unavoidable experi
ment was In his f&vor so far us
the effects upon his optics were concerned.
Hut ho cutto out of the dark room and from
under the Influence of the treatment niliuin-
islored utterly devoid of will power , as help
less und aimless us a babe. Ho had not only
losl hN will puwor but ho bnil lost all FCIISI
of Ri-alltudo nnd natural affection for his
friends and loved 01101 who hud done every
thing in their powsr to restore him tc
health and hupplness. llo hud been en-
cnecd to a very cstimablo VOUIIR lady foi
some time urlor to this misfortune und , In *
deed , his ollllctlon had been the only hindrance
ranco in the way of their marriage for soV'
cral monUis previous. 1'dor to his entcrliif
the dark room ho had been the personlllcu
tmn of devotion nnd faithfulness to his love
But what u chaiico marked Ills reanpearanci
into the broad light of day. llo bo
can to tro.xt , his liancco will
Ibo im > st bhauieful disregard for hi :
former pledges. llo seemed to despise hi ;
formnr friends and they , not reallzlu ? hi :

disappointment soon aroused \\iiiiliilbcini

treu'mcnt so fur as It pertuined to the resto
ration of hU oycslRht , was completely pros
tratcd by tno unexpected and iuoxpllcnbl
trealmoiit she received at his bands. Will
toar-wasliod fnco she pleaded with him t
coiuo baclc and bo his former self , so true
no loving nnd manly , but her pleadings wor

efforts of their mutual f rlunds were alik
unavailing and after a Jew wpelw of th
most Intense agony ttio young lady tbrtn

mysterious and unusual that he , although
physician , could not explain It to the sail

motlvo , nnd there seems to have been no
tnotlvo In this case save an Insnno mind ,
"I nnvo bad n great many cases of insanity
to ( Jcal witn , and havo.Tot to find any two
exactly alike. I do not now recall one that
\vn of ] Ust this type , though thcro are any
number of cases on record ot lost Identity.
Tno humnn mind sometime ? takes queer
froiiK , ana individuals imagine that thov
nro Jesus Christ , or the dovll , or members
ot the brute creation , Men think that
they are kings , and woman bccomo Im
bued with the Idea that they are
titled queens , Plthor of Iho present or past
generations. I do not pretend to bo nblo to
tell by ti oaring of a cite Just whut the
tpcntal stature of the Individual may be , nnd
can not say what thu condition of .hidao
ClacUson is or was wlfnout talking to him.
Hn may still bo somewhat Deranged ,
which might explain some thine * ho
would say that could not otherwise bo
explained , Hh action at the liiko docs not
not provo that ho was snno because II was
the action of a snuo man , for insane men will
net both as sane men and as victims ot in
sanity. Their sanity or insanity cannot bo
established by nn individual act. Insane
persons frequently net with surprising
shrewdness nnd cunning , nnd exhibit those
traits without other rcuson than the prompt
ing of nn uniound mind. The repu'atlon of
Judi'o ClavKson for umitiostlonnd Integrity
nnd honor during many years ot resi
dence tr > this city induced many who
knew him to wade that lake day after day ,
searching for his body when II wns not there ,
and It will convince them as It does mo that
his action wus only the result of Insanity ,
If he wont away voluntarily as a sanu man ,
It could have been only because of a motlvo
that would show hlni to bo an extremely
bad man , und that It something that the pub
lic Is not willing to believe and has no reason
to believe. "
_
Mr. Mooru Toll * nl H P.trullol CHIP.
IJr. U. C. Moore said that ho was disposed
to accept the story of Judge Olarkson as
true , llo found the history of many cases of
lost Identity In the medical worlts , nnd
readily recalled n case that bo had treated
hlnuelf , H was that of n lady who wus then
and Is now a resident of this city. "Stio
completely lost her identity , " said the
doctor , "and all nor surroundings bo-
caruo now to her. Shu not only had
u now name for herself out for everyone of
those with whom shn had neen associated
for years. She itnow her husb.ind iu someone
ono else , and ha WHS no longer bur husband.
She did not know mo as the doctor , but as n
altogether different Individual. Kvery thing
was changed , nnd her conception of things
was as different from Iho actual oxistlup
state of affairs as anything that coulu bo
Imagined. The trouble was brought on tiy a
suppuration of thu middle oar that caused
her Intense suffering , nnu by prolonged lac
tation , for shu was nursing a largo , healthy
infant. It bccamo so thai 1 had to nurse the
woman myself , for i was about the only
ono who could do anything with her. She
tool : n decided nntipathv to her husband , and
ho could not get along with bar at all. Bh
made it mighty interesting for us some
times , for she would take spells of slashing
everything right nnd left , throw books or
nnythlng that bhu could got tier hands on at
tha iiimos.who wcro tried ono after another ,
and net HUe a person violently insane.
Hut moit of Iho time it was slmoly
a cuso ot lost identity , and then
she would not manifest any of
these symptoms. I took bar out driving in
my buggy , and everything was r.ow to her.
Tno motor trains uxcited her curiosity , und
she luughad at them like u child. She could
not understand what made them cru. and she
called attention to the fact wo had hor.-ea to
pull the carriage , nnd asked how Iho others
mummed to pot along. She did not know
what they were , and uskod what thosu
things WCTO doing. In driving past the
dry ecoils stores , she was attracted
by tha bright colors displayed In
the wlnaowt ) und outside , nnd pointed In
them nnd talked about them , but had no
idea what the tbincs were. She did not
know what the simplest objects wcro , ami
uscd more questions than n child. We
Dually decided to toke her to nn asylum , and
1 tool : her away myself. When wo went
Into the asylum she seemed to partially raid-
i/o what it was , nnd bccamo frightened and
begged to be taken away. That was the
first thing that she hud .seemed to under
stand In several months , and I
told her that if she would behave herself 1
.would take horawny. Wo went from there tc
n hotel , and as wo passed tbroutrh the ladles'
cist ranco she noticed somu hangings la t
doorway , and asked whcro wo were , remark'
ing that she had been there before. Wo got
a carriage nnd drove around the place , unc
shu recognized a number of thing * , umont
ether things the sign over n wholesale bouct
whcro her husband had boucht goods.
1 biought her back homo , and it was bardl.v
twenty-four hours from the time that then
was thtj slightest evidence of returning
reason until .she was practically restored U
her senses.
Dri"Aml so It frcquontlv happens that , some
, neklent or littlu shock is the thing thu
starts iho change that will restore the un
settled equilibrium of the mind. There mai
have boon something of that kind In till
Olurkhon case. You can readily face hov
similar these cases would huvu beeu if tnj
patleiit hail not bcon closely watched , an <
had gonn awav and hired out as a domestic
I know about that cuso from the bcglnuini
for I watched u all the way through , an <
that woman is n warm friend of mine toduv
t nnd frequently thanks mo fornavinir brough
a her away from the asylum instead o
her thcro. Her mental uubalancln
was brought about by physical suffering an
exhaustion just us It U clulmod ClarKson'
was. Tha only thing that I can see tha
tends to throw discredit on the story o
Judge Ularkson is the fact that bo flxei
everything ! the lakn tu clvo to tha worli
tbo impression that ho was drowned.Vh
iihould bo practice that deceit IVhcn I h
bcc.uno Brail Uoollttlo , why was ho still it
torcstcd in pur-suing Judge Clurksnn out c
the world. If It was not for that fact ,
u should not question tt'.o storjr , but woul
ui un tuna It as absolutely true ; In fact , I belluv
i It , anyway. "
Another Sliultr | : < 'ii < r.
t Mr. l'H. . Kennurd of the ICennard Ol
I Paint company , lolls of a case In the stale i
I Michigan In which a lady disappeared on
r did not return to her family for three year

"Tho project of a family dormitory has

Deoambcr , and I can endorse the scheme os
perfectly reliable. Work on the construction
of the children's homo began Novembur t ,
when Mrs. Palmer turned the llrst soil with

Commissioner Seth P. Mooley of Grand
Island reports steady and subst-intial pro
gress In the preparation lor the Nebraska
exhibit. Several carloads of tbo choicest
cereals and imperishable products of the
state hnvo boon collected and stored , repre
senting the cropi of ib'Jl and IbOJ , selected
.from every quarter ot Nebraska , and properly
credited to the locality producing them. The
collection Includes all iho grains und cereals ,
both thrashed and in the straw , all the
crasscn , specimens of timber , ots.
Mr. Motley is confluent thcro has already
been collected no amount unit qualitr of ma
terial sufficient lo make ono ot tuu very best
agricultural displays at the greiu exposition.
In the horticultural department , "loo. ar
rangements bavo been made to have as flno a
showing as can bo presented by any now
state.
In the educational department ho says
moat thoronch and painstaking work has
been done with the view of couvincinjr all
comers tbat Nebraska stands well a * , the
bead in educational advancement , which con
stitutes her chief pride. Thu women of Nu-
braslra , too , have been very active and have
plans well mat u reel for a splendid showing
i.f the tvork donp by women" to ad-
vsnco both the material and ed
ucational Interests ot the state.
Tlio zani of tbo women having this branch of
the ivorlt in charge ho declared riost com
mendable and praiseworthy , their eirorts
being highly appreciated by the commission.
The apiary ann dairy departments nave been
given special nttontlou by the most compe
tent boo , butter mm oheeso exports in Nc-
braslco , and Mr. Mobloy fouls warranted in
sayltiE that no state in the union will uiauo

The Nobras.Ua Building hai been com
pleted. It is largo nnd rather plain , moro
substantial than ornami ntal , but withal ac-
knowloditcd by all to bo ono of the best , build
ings on thu ground for the monev invested ,
ns well as ouo of tbo most conveniently ur-
ringed for the purpose intended. It is the
policy of the Columbian commission to at
tract the attention of the ponplo bv the excel
lent exhibit of thu products of tho.stato rather
than by exponslvo.irchitoctiiral display. Tha
builillnc occupies a most conspicuous place
and will bo used cblelly as a btuto headquar
ters buildm ? nnd u resting place for Ne
braska people nnd their friends and for con-
duotlng the business affairs of the commis
sion. It will also contain the tpeciul county
case exhibits und decorative cereal panel ex
hibits ot the vailous counties of the fctato ,
taking advantage of that opportunity offered
tbo-n for Individualizing the snld countins In
a manner impossible in the concral exhibit ,
where Nebraska as , u state will seek to shim

Mr. Mobley says arrancaments are nl (
being made to distribute in ono room of th (
Nebraska building , dainty delicacies in tbt

O/i / the second floor of the building , spasi

hy is it that „
Strictly
Pure White Lead
is the best paint ?
Because it will outlast all
other Paints , make a hand
somer finish , give better pro
tection to the wood , and the
first cost of painting will be
less.
If a color other than white
is wanted , tint the Lead with
the National Lead Co.'s
Pure White Lead
Tinting Colors
These colors are sold in
small cans , one pound being
sufficient to tint twenty-five
pounds of pure White Lead
the desired shade ,
Be Careful

known brands of white lead.
The market is flooded with
adulterated Paints , and "so-
called" white leads. The fol
