We have a humorous friend in the
city of the school and profession ol
medicine whose sense of honor is first-
class. The other morning our friend
called at the sanctum, at an unusually
early hour for visiting an able bodied
patient who had just despatched a
beartv breakfast; blandly rubbing his
hands, the Dr. apologized, as only he
can do, when about to down his best
friend by saying he had put himself
to considerable inconvenience in neg
lecting some of his morning patients, as
well as walking several blocks, to call
upon us' to bring home a small pair of
scissors we had carelessly left lying on
his table when calling upon him tbe
evening before said he "I thought per
haps you might experience some ah
trouble in getting your Daily out to
day, ah without these implements of
ah your professioii.' While we were
looking for the hatchet, in the next
room, tbe Dr. disappeared, and we nave
not since been able to see him, although
the return of the scissors has been men
tioned several times in our hearing, by
fellows whom we fear have seen him.
Whenever Dr Richmond is blandest
and pleasantest, look out for him.
Tbe IIebald promised some light on
the prize fight that the dispatches have
stated would occur on an island in the
Missouri, between Omaha and Kansas
City, and which Nebraska City papers
havo been trying to fool people into be
lieving would occur near that place.
Your reporter has been detailed for
several days to get at tbe bottom of this
contest, and with remarkable success.
The location of the fight is fixed upon
Gregg's Island, two miles below this
city. After several days search up and
down the river, this was found to be
the spot, and was accordingly selected.
It is easy of access from the Iowa shore,
is uninhabited and unsuspicious in
every respect. Yesterday morning, at
an early hour a boat might have been
seen, had any one been up to see, drop
ping down the river, from the foot of
Main street, It drifted with the cur
rent. Seated in tbe prow might have
been seen a gentleman wearing a white
plug hat, dressed in a business suit of
dark grev, wearing mutton chop
whiskers upon a most resolute face,
seated in the stern of the boat, guid
ing its course with an oar sat your re
porter. The run down to the island
was made in a remarkable short time,
and after fastening our boat to a drift
log on the shore, your reporter, fol
lowed by the sporting gentleman, made
a detour of tbe island. Down near the
south part of the island, a place exactly
suiied for the event was found: it
was a solid piece of sward, entirely
free from underbrush, and embraced
several acres as level as the
floor of the Herald office,
All around this was a dense willow
gjowth that excluded the view from
every direction and it is doubtful if a
more secluded place could have been
found in the west. "This is exactly the
place" remarked my companion as he
stopped to light, a cigar. "I was down
at Mississippi City atteudiug Sullivan's
great mill, and this" is a far superior
place, Mr. Fox, and the boys in New
York will be jubilant over the success
of my trip," and my campauion rubbed
his hands in glee, as though he already
saw the combatants face to face and
ready for business,. After this, stakes
were driven to mark the places for the
ring and the limit line for spectators
was marked, when another detour of
the island war made to secure a suita
ble landing on the Iowa side of the
Island. A suitable place found, your
reporter watcbed"his companion tear
bis hadkerchief into sisps and fasten
them to the willows on tbe bank to
mark the place. The boat was then
taken for the home trip and if ever a
reporter earned a reputation as an oars
man we did that thing, tacking up
stream among the eddies cn thclowa
shore, but the game was worth the
work.
"Of course you expect this location to
be made public" we remarked as about
to part company in front of the Perk
ins house.
Certainly, that can't be prevented,' '
was his reply "but the time no man
will know, until we drop down and its
all over, and we're enroute to New
York, however you shall know the ex
act time, and can be present."
Thus assured your reporter strolled
on, more than satisfied with his trip,
and in hopes the Herald will appre
ciate it also.

INSTANT DEATH.
A Cass County Man Instantly Kit
led at Ashland.
Yesterday afternoon' the hews reach
ed this city of a sad accident at Ash
land vesterdnv. about 11 a. m. resultinir
in the instant death of Aaron A. Fox,
who lives south of that place. The par
ticulars as we loam them are as fol
lows:
The Knights Templar excursion was
running wild ahead of Number one and
was making no 6top at Ashland, but
was going through at a high rate of
speed. Just at the west of the depot
platform, is the main traveled railway
crossing and here the accident occur
red. Mr. Fox, not seeing the train,
had just driven on the track the horses
having passed over, when the engine
struck the wagon, the box flying in tbe
air and landing on the cab. Mr. Fox
met instant death, the top of his head
being cut clear off, and the body other
wise mutilated. Where the blame lies
we have not learned, but the prevailing
opinion is, that the train was running
at a high rate of speed, and tbe build
ings prevented the victim seeing
its approrch ; certain it is, too much
care cannot be exercised by the rail
road company while running trains
wild through towns along the line.

The coming state fair will give most
of our state people an opportunity to
note tbe prosperity and progress of
Omaha. Its new banks, churches and
hotels, its newly payed streets and its
electric lights will be matters of great
interest to the outsider.
During the week of the state fair rail
read fares will be reduced and every
thing will be conducted on the cheap
plan. As a conseauence. many will
take advantage of the time to make
purchases in the metropolis, and to
attend to other duties that can only be
performed in the city.
Dr. A. S. Fisbblat will remain in
Omaha during: the lair. A large num-
bei of patients have signified their in
tention of attending the exposition, and
will receive the doctor's attention here
instead of at their homes, where he has
been in the habit of treating them. Thus
it will be a busy week for him. for, in
addition to manv old patients, it must
be expected that he will be visited by
hundreds of new ones. His fame is
well assured. His constant and judi
cious advertising in the newspapers has
secured him an acquaintance as the
ereat west, and stories of his miracu
lous cures have spread with wonderful
ranuliiv. The man who receives last
ing benefit from bis treatment is not so
ungrateful as to hide the doctor's light
under a bushel he assists it to snine,
in order that others may see it, and
take advantage of the opportunity. He
tells his neighbors, and the letters
which he writes to his physician are
filled with sincere and honest gratitude,
which is the best advertisement in the
world. Of these thousands of letters
received, Dr. Fishblattis able to publish
only an extract n jw and then.
Dr. Fishblatt makes the treatment
of chronic diseases a specialty, and we
would advise all to consult him that
suffer from nasal catarrh, that offensive
and most prevalent of diseases, throat
and lung diseases that of ien are fore
runners of consumption, convulsions or
epilepsey, nervous troubles, caused by
youthful folly or excesses, loss of man
hood, female troubles in all their rami
fications, kidney and liver diseases, or
all diseases arising from former impro
per treatment.
By consulting Dr. Fishblatt all will
find him a genial, whole souled gentle
man and a careful, conscientious pby
sician, worthy of implieit confidence.
