Momorial Obituary of Jonas Orauo, M. D.
On the morning of Juno 4, 1881, at
sunrise in his chamber at his homo in
Brownvillc, Jonas Orauo lay dying.
Boforo tho sun had climbed to his mid
day throne, while yet tho soft, cool
breeze was redolent of innny odors of
flowers and melodious with tho song?
of many birds, .Jonas Grano had coaaod
to be a personal factor amongst boitigs
hero.
As ho was a man of more than ordi
nary Influence note and potency hero,
it is a duty alike to tho living and the
dead that chronicle of his salient
characters should bo set down and
preserved. Ho was born in tho year
1820 in Beverly, Randolph county, In
the stato of Virginia. Infancy, child
hood and youth were one almost unin
terrupted strugglo whether manhood
should ever be attained. Especially
was this contest irksomo nnd em
barrassing during his efforts to obtain
an education. Schools and school
houses were few and far between,
neither of tho best description in tho
country. By tho aid of tho schools
and with his own efforts supplemented,
ho succeeded in obtaining a good
Knclish education with a smattering
of Latin and possiblo Greek.
Stimulated and sustained by his own
ambition ho covered tho fiold of En
glish classics, read deeply into ancient
history and mythology, and obtained a
good knowledge of modoru history
with a clear insight and understand
ing of tho principles that underlio tho
foundation of government. Tho works
Vennor's predictions for tho balanco
of June is: loth to 18th cool, unsettled,
showery weather; 10th and 20th,
warmer weather, with increasing heat,
up to the 25th; 25th to 28th, a storm
period, with sultry weather; ou tho
2th and 80th, cooler, with change in of tho best poets wero a source of
tho weather. The foregoing forecast
will probably hold good for a large
portion of tho United States.

Mr. Conkling no more turned the
Senate over to tho Domocrats than did
Blaine or Windoni when they resigned
a few months ago. The Legislatures
of their States wero Republican and
wero in session, ana. tno vacancies
could bo filled at once. So, ulso, with
iTew York. Tho vacancies could lo
tilled immediately, and doubtless
would be, if nn emergency existed, but
tho Senate having adjourned, tho
necessity is not pressing. Inttr (hean.
The responsibility and duty of tho
Republicans of tho New York legisla
ture to elect two, U. vS. Seuntore, before
it adjourns, are very plain. No faction
al fealty will be a good reason for any
other course. Loyalty to party is tho
first duty in that matter. If the im
position to Conkling and Piatt had
gone into caucus tho question would
have been settled long ago. And it
can be settled any day that that f action
will agree to and abide by a caucus.
Tho stalwarts still invite a caucus, and
will submit if defeated. If, therefore
there is no election, or if the final re
sult Is the olection of one or both
democrats, tho stalwarts will not be
to blame. According to tho ballots
taken they are in tho minority, yet
they are willing to risk u caucus and
acquiesce in tho will of tho majority.
perennial pleasure, and their choicest
most felicitous passages wore stored
in his memory, and wero often oppor
tunely recalled to brighten or para
phrase a thought of his own. His oar
was attuned to music, while his voico
lacked softness, his perception of time,
rythm, tunc ami harmony mado him a
good critical listener. His faculties
for size weight, form and color wero
so well developed that ho was a fair
amateur draughtsman, nnd painted
with' fidelity and taste. Tn mathe
matics, though not a mastor, ho was
more than usually correct.
With this preliminary preparation ho
entered tho privato ollico of Dr. John
Thompson, in tho town of Luray,
Pago county, in tho valley of Virginia.
Hero ho prosecuted his studies with
assiduity, notwithstanding frequont
ombarrassing interruptions from fall-
from a Indies' handnomo man, but
what men term good looking. Small,
rather potito of llguro, with an enor
mously largo head, with an abundance
of shocky hair, heavy, brood brow,
largo luminous oyes, great nose, broad
mouth, with seemingly long arms and
small legs, fivo feet, livo Inches high,
and weighing never more than an hun
dred nnd twenty pounds, and often
loss, is the personal appoaranco of tho
man. If not handsome, thoro was
cordiality of hand grasp and shako, ac
companied with Bitch a beaming, beau
tiful, winning smile, that all minds
were at unco impressed with tho sin
cerity and bonhommie of hint; that
hearts wore prepared to furnish a
kindly greotlng. As might be expect
ed ho was hailed and welcomed by
theso now settlers In a now country,
and gave him their conildcnco and their
patronage. This country nt this period
of its history hod no railroads, and
steamboat wero uncertain and were
limited to a few months of activity.
Hence somo one for every hundred
mile of circuit was relied upon to act
as Burgeon. Ho sprang almost at a
bound to this position. Tho cane that
first brought him prominently boforo
physician and pooplo, was ono of so-
voro compound comminuted fracture
of the thigh bono, from nn accldont in
mill machinery. It was In a neighbor
ing county. A doctor was already in
attendance. Doctor Crano, in viow of
the fact that tho limb was extensively
contused and rapidly swelling, was in
favor of delaying application of roten-
tlvo apparatus until tho eighth or
ninth day, as no reparative action
would sooner occur. Tho practico had
been to apply splints nnd bandago at
once. Tho patient, contrary to all
lore of uneducated experience, nnd
against the violent and continued pro
tests of friends, consented, nnd finally
succeeded in securing an useful mem
ber, freo from limp or blemish. His
careor was ono of unabatod success,
with increased cliontrtl and augment

Mrs. Lucy A. Elklus, wife of tho
well-known Chicago artist, is suing a
Koloon-keoper in the Superior Court of

heartfelt sympathy of thousands whoso

If women whose husbands have
been made drunkards and their homes
wretched in consequence thereof would
without delay bring tho law to bear in
self defense, it would be the most
potent means in suppressing tho busi
ness of drunkard making. Nebraska
now has a law that is all sufficient for
tho protection of ovory woman against
tho saloon demon if they would but
come to tho front courageously nnd
demand, and enforce their rights. Wo
think that some organized eilort by tho
women ot the country, having in viow
tho strict enforcment of tho law for
the protection of tholr aox, would be as
good and humano business as any
thing they havo ever undertaken.
This is tho business of benevolent big
hearted women not drunkards' wives
who aro, in too many instances, held
in slavery and under intimidating in
fluences that they fear to break over In
thoab3once of strong moral backing
which tho Btroitg women of tho coun
try can give. Tho cases, we are pleas
ed to note, are becoming more numor-
where sintering womeu bring suits

The income from teaching provided
most of the money used in defraying
his expenses at college attonding lec
tures. His first course was takon at
Hampden Sidnoy at Richmond, Vir
ginia, of which Mallet Cabell and
.Toines were professors at tho time. In
tho interval between his first and sec
ond courso ho rode, prescribed and
practiced in a simple way under tho
supervision of his preceptor. During
this time ho sustained a fracture of
tho nnklo joint, and suffered also from
carles of the forearm. His ankle and
elbow joints remained, in consequence
partially stiff to the day of his death.
While confined to his bed by Injury
and disease, he read and studied vory
thoroughly Gall and Spurzheim's theo
ries ou crauioscopy, miscalled phrenol
ogy. Many embraced tho doctrines as
taught by ihcm, and it is no wonder
tho young student was led by their
specious reasoning, and ho firmly bo-
lieved tho time near wnon tno exam
ination of tho brain of a child would
determine its most suitable avocation.
From his studies and references ho
prepared a series of lectures. Tho
cuts, drawings and paintings used in
illustrating Ills demonstrations wero
all designed, cut and painted by liis
able hands. While he, in his muturcr
years, renounced a great deal of the
Gall system of phrenology, ami never
took pleasure in referring publicly to
it, yet it is certainly a strong met m
evidence of his individuality and per
severance. With his models, portraits,
paintings and crania he mado an ex
tensive course, which proved fairly re
munerative. In 18-180 ho graduated woll for

tion for skill, your him in his own
state lived J. P. Mottenur in a little
town of a fow hundred inhabitants
called Prlnco Edward Court House,
who had performed lithotomy more
than sovohty times and in states ad
joined resided two other men who had
tho distinguished honor to originate
and perfoct surgical procedures which
have by computation added an hun
dred thousand years to tho llfo of man
kind. TIicbo physicians lived in vil
lages and relied upon tholr own ingo
nuity and efforts. So Doctor Crane
was compelled to trust to and have-
confldonco In himself. When possiblo
he sought to familiarize himself with a
case, mado- full and compieto prepara

Trained and skilled assistants could

I rom (Jrogon lie came to JJrownvillo
in this state in eighteen huudrod and
sixtv-llve, at which ho resided at tho
time of liis doinise. Since his location
iu this stato ho has continued with un
diminished interest to practico his be
loved art until sheer debility, uttor
weakness, drove him reluctantly from
the field, then to )iis bed, and finally
the bund could no lougor hold and
guide tho scalpel. Some of his achieve
ments of opcratlvo surgery in tho lino
of relief for irreducible strangulated
Horniahave beon collected and pub
lished by Dr. L.J. Abbott, of Fromont,
and now constitute part of tho history
of tho Nebraska State Medical Society,
of which ho was a member.
Throughout nil Doctor Crane's life
ho had a inoHt unmitigated, undis-
coutempt for pre
tentious incompetency. For the
young student sincerely desirous of
study and improvement, his mind and
his library wero alike open and free to
him as well as words of cheor and
comfort. But ho was unsparing and
unstinted in his sarcastic denunciation
of those ho thought wero wilfully
ignorant or falsely pretentions of
knowledge. He has kindled many a
flro of opposition of rivalry and hatred
whero ho was to lie found and how ho
stood. His disposition wns eminently
social, and no man cherished his as
sociates move. Ho waa delighted to
tacot with a number of lively congenial
companions, spenu nn evening in song,
anecdote, music and recitations. As
his notions wero docidod, his emotions
woro quickly rousod. His laugh wa
hearty and so nnconvontional, that hU
wholo framo shook with tho agitation.
So froe, hearty, Joyous and spontaneous
was It that tho most phlegmatic and
stoical would bo involuntarily led to
participate. It was infectious-one
would bo compollcd to participate,
through sympathy. His sorrow and
grief wero no loss unfeigned and gen
uine. Tho tribute of tears would tell
how deeply his nature was moved by
tho story of distress, or at beholding
tho grief of n friend.
Though ofton solicited to stand for
t nomination for political office, ho in
variably declined but always ready
to assist others and ever loudingnid to
contribute to tho goncral welfare.
