But Henc Are Two Emotions.
When, After suffering two years with
what was tailed appendicitis, Mr. John
Boland of 219 No. ISth street, Omaha,
was told by the leading; physicians and
surgeons of Nebraska that he would
have to undergo an operation and have
part of his anatomy removed, he
formally bid farewell to the world and
all he knew, for he had known of oth
ers who had traveled the same dan
gerous road. Just before he submitted
to the operation he met a friend who
uggested that he try the new treat
ment "Magnetic Osteopathy." He said
he would not take the treatment, bui
would consult with Prof. Kharas and
see what he would do later. Prof.
Kharas, as the originator of this new
science of curing diseases without
drugs, feels the responsibility of "life
and deatn cases, so he examined Mr.
Boland carefully told him he had no
appendicitis at all. His trouble proved
to be simply a nervo-muscular stric
ture of the small Intestine (duodenum i.
The professor so accurately described
the difference between the actual ex
isting condition and an appendiceal
condition that Mr. Boland saw he ha')
been humbugged by the medical and
surgical practitioners, and took a
week's treatment, costing him 15, at
the Kharas Headquarters In Omaha,
and is now sound and well and hard
at work. He Is loud and enthusiastic in
praise of Magnetic Osteopathy and the
Kharas System. He realizes that he
wwuld probably have been a "burled
mistake" If he had followed the advice
of the surgeons, for they very much
dislike to have their mistakes come to
light, and when they chop Into a man's
"works" and see that they were "off"
there Is only one way to prevent the
world from knowing the result "The
patient failed to rally from the opera
lion as we expected," etc. Every day
we read of their mistakes!
Miss Kit Dlstelhorst was expecting
to go to the hospital for an' operation
the following day, when a relative sug
gested that she see Kharas. She did.
The operation would have cost her
t200, besides, had It been successful
the loss of two very Important parts
of her anatomy, and the surgeons gave
her verv. verv little hope for recovering
from the operation at ail. As a result
of her coming to Prof. Kharas she Is
now sound and well. She took six
weeks' treatment, spent JM and Is, a
she aptly expresses it, "all in one
piece yet." This mention of her name
is made with her express consent, and
she will gladly Inform any inquirer of
the truth of the statement who will
write her at her, home, 2011 Cops street,

SOUTH OMAHA MARKET REPORT.
South Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1.
Market report furnished by tna Flato
Commission Co. of South Omaha, Neb.:
Receipts of cattle this week have fall
en considerably short of the same per
iod last week, and those coming have
been nearly all westerns. The receipts
of choice corn-fed steel- have been
very limited and the market on such
has been active at fully steady price.
The half fat and common cattle have
been neglected and the preference Is
shown the range steers, which have
shown flesh enough to make good kill
ers. This has made the market on the
half-fat and common corn-fed steers
rather slow and a shade lower than
last week. Receipts of cows and hei
fers have been liberal the past three
days, and while the demand has been
pretty active, prices are 10 to 20c lower
than last Friday, the principal decline
being on the common and fair grades.
Good cows were steady until today,
when buyers were able to take off
about 10 cents,
Stockers and feeders have not been
received In too large supply for the
trade to handle at this season of the
year, but the market has not been In
as good condition as last week. Mon
day the market opened with buyers all
after cattle, ad they loaded up pretty
liberally, and as a consequence have
been holding back yesterday and today
trying to dispose of what they had on
hand before taking on another load.
Good heavy feeders declined 10 to IS
cent:, while the medium and common
grades show a deciie of 15 to 25 cents.
There was a strong demand for well
bred, dehorned, fleshy steers, but there
are so few of that kind being marketed
that they cut little figure on the mar
ket. Stock heifers are being marketed
freely and while the edrnand Is good,
they have been selling a little lower.
Receipts of hogs have been fairly lib
eral the past two days, but only a lim
ited supply was received Moday. The
opening Monday was very slow and
prices were 2' to 6 cents lower ,wlth
the quality of the hojjs rather poor.
Yesterday buyers were in need of hogs
and though they tried to get their pur
eha?es cheaper at the start, they soon
found it would be Impossible to do so
and the market closed strong, showing
an advance of about 5 cents over Mon
day. Today was another good day for
shippers, sales being effected early at
strong prices and the close today shows
prices 5 cents higher than Monday and
a little better than last Saturday.

octopus itself.

Rnchel Jorgenseii was the on!y daughter
of the guve.nor of Iceland. She fell in
love and mairied un Idler, Stephen Orry.
Htr Jather had other :iopes lor her, and
In his aneer he (liKOwm-d her. Orry ran
away to -a. I,: this union a child was
boin und la-h'l called him Jason. Ste
phen Orry was hiurd from In the Iple of
Man, where he was aguin married and
another son was horn. Rachel died a
h'arl-broken woman, but told Jason of
lis father's acts. Jason swore to kill
him. and II not him, then his son. In the
meantime Orry had deserted his ship and
sought refuge In the Isle of Man. He
was sheltered by the governor of the
island, Adam Kalrbrother. Urry went
from bad to worse and married a dissolute
woman, and their child, called Michael
Bunlocks, was born. The woman died and
Orry gave Sunlocks to Adam Falrbrother,
who adouted him. und he became the
Playmate of the governor's daughter,
(ireeba. Time passed and Adam Fair
brother and wife became estranged, their
rive boys slaying with their mother on
account of Michael Sunlocks. Finally Ste
phen Orry returned and Michael Bunlocks
'determined (o go to Iceland, his father's
' home. His father confessed all to him,
and Michael promised to find Rachel if
possible and care for her, and, if dead, to
nna her child and treat him as a brother.
But Greeba cried "Help, help, help!"
She seemed to be beside herself with
suspense. Some vague fear, beyond
the thought of a man's life In peril,
seemed to pospsss her. Did she know
what It was? She did not. She dared
not fix her mind upon it. She was
afraid of her own fear. But, low down
within her, and ready at any moment
to leap to her throat, was the dim
g'uul of a dread that he who tras !n
the boat, and In danger of his life on
the rock, might be very near and dear
to her. With her hood fallen back from
her head to her shoulders, she ran to
and fro among the men on the beach
crying, "lie will be lost. Will no one
save him?"
Rut the other women clung to the
men, and the men shook their heads
and answered, "He's past saving," and
"We've gut wives and children lookln'
to us, miss and what's the use of
throwing your life away?"
Still the girl cried "Help!" and then
a young fellow pushed through to
where she stood, and said, "Rri's too
near for us to tstand here and see him
die."
"Oh, God bless and keep you forever
and ever," cried Greeba; and, lifted
completely out of all self-control, she
threw her arms about the young man
and kissed him fervently on the cheek.
It was Jason. He had found a rope
and coiled one end of it about his waist,
and held the other end In his hand. The
touch of,' Greeba's quivering lips had
been as fire to him. "Lay hold," he
cried, and threw the loose end vt the
rope to Thurstun Fairbrother. At the
next moment he was Lreant-high in the
sea. The man must have -jeen him com
ing, for the loud clamor ceased.
j "Brave lad!" said Greeba, in a deep
' whisper.
"Riave, is It? It's mad, I'm calling
I It," said old Davy.
"Who is lir" said the skipper.
"The young Icelander," said Davy.
"Not the lad Jason?"
"Aw, yes, though Jason the gawk,
s they're saying. Poor lud, there's a
heart at him."
The people held their breath. Greeba
:overed her eyes with her hands, and
telt an Impulse to scream. Wading with
strong strides, and swimming with yet
stronger strokes, Jason reached the
boat. A few minutes afterwards he was
back on the shore, dragging the man
after him.
The man lay Insensible In Jason's
arms, bleeding from a wound in the
head. Greeba stooped quickly to peer
Into his face In the darkness, and then
rose up and turned away with a sigh
that was a sigh of relief.
"He's done for," said Jason, putting
him down.
"Who Is he?" cried a score of voices.
"God knows, fetch a lantern," sild
Jason.
"Fee, there's a light In old Orry's
hut yonder. Let's away there with hlin.
It will be the nearest place," said Kane
Wade.
Chaise A'Kllley ran on ahead.
"Where's Stephen tonight, that he's
not with us at such work same as
this?" said Matt Mylechreest.
"He's been down hire all week,"
puffed Nary Crowe.
In another minute Chaise was knock
ing at the door, and calling loudly (if
he knocked:
"Stephen! Stephen! Stephen Orry!"
There come no answer, and he knock,
rd again and called yet louder:
"Stephen, let us In. There's a man
here dying."
But no one stirred within the house.
"He's asleep," said one.
"Stephen Stephen Orry Stephen Or
ry wake up, man can't you hear us.
Have ye no bowels, that ye'd keep this
man out?"
"He's not at hnme force the door,"
Kane Wade shouted.
One blow was enouRh. The door was
fastened only by a hemp rape wound
around a hasp on the outside, and It fell
open with a crash. Then the men with
the burden staggered Into the house.
They lnld the Insensible man on the
floor, and there the light of the Inmp
that burned In the widow' fell upon his
face.
"IiWd-rmrv!" thoy crlpd, "It'fc
Stephen Orry hlsself." '
The lud pushed through to the bed
side, and then for the flrl time ho
came face to face with Stephen Orry.
Did any voice, unhead of the others,
cry In his ear at that moment, "Jason.
Jason, this Is he whom you have crossed
the seas to slay, and he has sent for you
to bless you, for the last sands of his
life are running out?"
"Leave us alone together," said Ste
phen Orry; and Greeba, after beating
out his pillow and settling his head on
it, was about to move away when he
whispered. "Not you," and held her
back.
Then with one accord the others called
on him not to tarry over carnal
thoughts, for his soul was passing thro"
dark waters, and he should never take
rest until he trad cast anchor after a
troublous voyage.
"Get religion," cried Kane Wade.
"Lay hoult of a free salvation," cried
old Chaise. "All flesh Is as grass,"
cried Matt Mylechreest. "Pray without
ceasing," they all cried together, with
much besides In the same wild strain.
"I cannot pray," the sick man mut
tered.
Then we'll pray for you, mate,"
shouted Kane Wade.
"Ah, pray, pray, prayj" murmh'ed
Stephen Orry, "but It's no good; It's too
late, too late."
"Now is the 'pointed time," shouted
Kane Wade. "The Lord can save to
the uttermost the worst sinner of us
all."
"If I'm a sinner, let me not be a
coward In my sins," said Stephen Or
ry. "Have pity on me and leave me."
Cut Kane Wade went on to tell the
story of his own conversion: It was on
a Saturday night of the mackerel sea
son down at Klnsale. The conviction
had been borne in upon him that if he
did not hear the pardoning voice before
the clock struck twelve, he would be
damned to all eternity. When the clock
began to warn for midnight the hair
of his flesh stood up, for he was still
unsaved. But before it had finished
striking the Saviour waa his, and he
was rejoicing in a blessed salvation.
"How can you torture a poor dying
man?" muttered Stephen Orry.
"Call on the Lord, mate," shouted
Kane Wade, " 'Lord, I belave, help
Thou my y 'belafe.' "
"I've something to do ,and the pains
of death have hold of me," muttered
Stephen Orry.
"He parthoned the thafe on the cross,
and he's gotten parthon left for you,"
cried Old Chaise.
"Cruel, cruel! Have you no pity left
for a wretched dying man?" muni
bled Stephen Orry.
"Ye've not lived a right life, brother,'
cried Kane Wade, "and ye've been ever
wake In yer intellects, so never take
rest till ye've read yer title clear."
"You would scarce think they could
have the heart, these people you would
scarce think it, would you?" said Ste
phen Orry, lifting his poor glassy eyes
to Greeba's face.
Then with the same quiet grace as
before, the girl got up, and gently push
ed the men out of the house one by
one. "Come back in an hour," she
whlnpered.
It was a gruesome spectacle the rude
Methodists, with their loud voices and
hot faces and eyes of flame, trying to
do thsilr duty by the soul of their
fellow creature; the poor tortured sin
ner, who knew he had lived an evil
life, and saw no hope of pardon, and
would not be so much a coward as to
cry for mercy in his last hours; the
young Icelander looking on In silence
and surprise, and the girl moving hither
and thither among them all, like a soft
voiced dove In a cage of hoarse Jack
daws. But when the little house was clear,
and the Methodists, who started a
hymn on the beach outside, had gone
at last, and their singing had faded
away, and there wag only the low wall
of the ebbing tide where there had
been so loud a Babel of many tongues,
Stephen Orry raised himself feebly on
his elbow and asked for his coat. Ja
son found it on the hearth and lifted
it up, still damp and stiff, from the
puddle of water that lay under It. Then
Stephen Orry told him to put his hand
In the breast pocket and take out what
he would find there. Jason did as he
was bidden and drew forth the bag of
money. "Here It Is," he said; "what
shall I do with it?"
"It is yours," said Stephen Orry.
"Mine?" said Jason.
"I meant it for my' son," said Ste
phen Orry. He spoke in his broken
English, but let us take the words out
of his mouth. "It's yours now, my lad.
Fourteen years I've been gathering It,
meaning It for my son. Little I thought
to part with it to a stranger, but it's
yours, for you've earned It."
"No, no," said Jason. "I've earned
nothing."
"You tried to save my life," said Ste
phen Orry.
"I couldn't help doing that," said
Jason, "arid I wajitjio pay."
' "But It's two hundred pounds, my
lad."
"No matter."
"Then how much have you got?"
"Nothing."
"Has the wreck taken ft!l?"
"Yes no that Is, I never had any
thing," "Take the money; for God's sake take
It, and do what you like with It, or I'll
die or torture," cried Stephen Orry.
and with a groan he threw himself
backward on the bed.
"I'll keep It for ynur son," snld Ja
son, "His name is Michael fiunloekn,
Isn't It? And he tins sailed for Iceland,
hasn't he? That's my country, and J
may meet him sdtne day."
Then In a broken voice Stephen Ortr
sald,'"If you have a father he rauat ba
proud of you, my lad. Who Is he?"
And Jason answered moodily, "I haw
no father none I ever knew."
"Did he die in your childhood?"
"No."
"Before you were born?"
"No."
"Is he alive?"
"Ay, for aught I know."
Stephen Orry struggled to his etberw
again. "Then he has wronged yoBT
mother?" he said with his breath, caus
ing quick.
"Ay, maybe so."
"The villain! Yet who am I to nt
at him? If your mother still alive i
'No."
'Where is your father?"
'Don't speak of him," said Jason, Isi
an under-breath.
"But what's your name, my lad?
"Jason."
With a long sigh of relief Stephwsi
Orry dropped back and muttered Ss
himself. "To think that such a fatha
should never have known he had audi
a son."
The power of life ebbed fast la hi,
but after a pause he said:

'Well?" said Jason.
'I've done you a great wrong."
'When did you do me a wrong?"
'Tonight."
'How?"
"No matter. There's no undoing ft
now; God forgive me. But let me b

for that will give you the right to

"But they belong to your son," salt
Jason.
"He'll never touch them," said Ste
phen Orry.
"Why not?" said Jason.
"Don't ask jr, Inve me alone. Far
mercy's- sake don't torture a striae
man," cried Stephen Orry.
"That's not what I meant te ,"
said Jason, giving way; "and It ye
wish it, I will keep the money."
"Thank God," said Stephen OrrT
Some moment thereafter he lay quiet.

hovered about him. Then in a feet?
voice he said, "Do you think, my last,
you'll ever meet my son?"
"Maybe so," said Jason. "I'll go fcavJat
when I've done what I came to da."
"What is that?" Greeba whtspCTesi,
but he went on without answering
'Though our country Is big, our pea-
pie are few. Where will he be?"
'I scarce can say. He has gone t

Jason glanced up inquiringly, Erst t
Stephen Orry and then at Greeba. Ste

on with many a break and betirpOB

At that point he laughed a little, tu
