THE DAILY BEE-FRIDAY , JULY 24 ; LINCOLN. Incidents of Moment Nole § at the Slate Capital , An Excessive Tax Ordered By the Oommissionere , Veterans TJnlto In Mourning the Dentil of Gen , Grant : and Personal , CAPITAL NOTES. A VARIETY Of TOPIUS. Ileported by The KKK'S Unrcau. LtNOOLX , Neb. , July 23. Before many of the business honaea had opened up , flags from the public buildings were t halt mast , the bolls were lolling and the entire city was draped , in memory for the silent man who had paisod away. Small groups of men were standing aronnd mourning the loss of their great chief tnd rotating the stories of their trials In the Gold. The faces of nearly every cltlzoa manifested signs of some bereavement or loss and oven the ordi nary business Interests have been restricted. The cstlmato of the oxpensoa for the connty this year , to pay the principal and Interest of the bonded debt of the connty ia 18GG , is placed at $4-1,720. On the fust day of Jnno tills year there was in the hand ) ol the connty treasurer 1)3- lonaing to the sinking or bond fund , ever $27,500. The unpaid taxes belonging to thla fnnd which will ba paid In by the first of January next will exceed $14,000. On the firsl day of January , 188G , there will bo In sinking fond , to bo used In the payment of principal and Interest of the bonded debt of 18GG , § 41GOO , , exclusive of the taxes levied this year. In crdor to pay the $44,720 it would bo ncootsity to ralao by taxation thla year the sum of $3,100. A levy of one-half mill on the dollar valna tlon of the connty wonld prodnco $3,325 , which wonld bo $105 moro than the amount required. A levy of five mills will produce $32,257 , which la $2 ! ,137 moro than will bo required to pay the ! debts falling duo in 1880. Will the county commissioner ! lUtc why this ex cessive levy of fonr and ono-half mills is made ? Is the money which rightfully belongs to the people tafer In the bande of the county treasurer or the money sharks than with the people who toll for It ) If the treasurer receives interest at the rate of 4 per cent on this Idle money , , will ho turn It back to the county ? Should any moro taxes ba levied and collected than Is necessary to moot the actual demands of the connty ? This excessive levy Is not conOnod to the' ' bond fund. It can bo proved by conv pntation that all the expenses cf this county can bo paid , with the money , which will bo realized from a levy of ( cloven mil's on the dollar valuation. What la this oxcesslvo and unnecessary levy of nlno mills undo for ? Perhaps Bormi of the gentlemen who are candl dates for connty oflieos this fall will rise up and explain this thing to the tolling musses by a wave of the hand that it Is1 all right.

WONDERFUL CURES , A Visit to llic Omaha Medical and gical Institute acdWbat it Reyeaht Tlio Halt anil Manned Cored ami the Blind Given SlRht AVIiat the Institution In ami IB Doing , A roporler'.for the BEE In the course- his dally rambling , called yesterday a the Medical and Surgical Institute corner nor of Thirteenth and Capitol avenue The Institution Is In charge of Dr. Me Monamy , ono of Ooiaha'a most skillfn and distinguished physicians , a porfoc gentleman withal , and well fitted to ac as a ruling spirit of the Institution. The scrlbo had often heard baforo o the institution , but uovor had boot granted an opportunity of making s thorough an Inspection of It as last night Ho was astonished to note the great pro portion to which the business has grown the splendid facilities which are olToro 'or taking c ro of the patients , and tba onoral homo like appearance of th place which Is si manifestly lacking from ho ordinary hospital or dispensary. The Institute has In all fifty rooms mo of its especial features being an ox lollont hotel , which Is In charge Messrs. Lawls & Son , of Council Bluffs ho sphere of the institution , as it lame Indicates , lies In the treatment M diseases and the practice of the dlfii inlt art of surgery. In order to convince himself of the practical benofita of the pabllc the re- potter naked permission to bo shown hrough the Institution on a tour of In pectlon , in order that ho might for htm elf converse with the patients obou heir cases. The result waa wonder- ul. ul.Tho The fmt patient mot was a woilthy armer by the name of Unlatock , of Un lertrood , Iown , who had been operated u two weeks aga for a dleeajo which re quired the most delicate of treatment. Yesterday ho came over from Iowa for the express purpose of eaylng that he was entirely cured , and of thanking Dr. McMenamy. Mr , M. Noonan , of Lincoln , haa been foi aoveral wecka under treatment. When ho first came to the institute ho waa utterly torly helpless , aa much ai es though ho were an Infant. Ho had to bo carried around from place to place , could not get oil or on the bed , could not oven rise from the chair. Under the treatment of Dr. McMonamy ho has improved so that ho on walk from place to place with only the help of a cane , and frequently goes from the third atory to the first , and In fact needs no assistance whatever in per forming the duties of his dally lifo. "J feel perfectly confident , th it I shall be neil In a short tlmo , thanks to Dr. McMenamy" he said In answer to the questions of the scribo. Mr. William Joyce , of O'Neill , Nob. , was under treatment for a fracture of the ankle. The original fractnre had been so treated that the bones did not unite , and ho was a perfect cripple. Before he came to Omaha ho waa told that nothing could bo done for him. Under treatment it the Institute , ho haa grown ao well that : o can walk from place , to phai with a cane. Ho will soon bo dlechargod cured , P. Bartell , of Persia , Iowa , came to iho Institute three months ago , Buffering from kldnoy disease of ten years stand ing. Ho Is now at homo cured. F. R. Talbot was a patient from Falls City , who had broken his leg about las ! October and had since been the victim o ! gross malpractice at the bands of Ignorant physicians. The parts of the broken leg bad been unsklllfnlly adjusted , and false joint had formed. The leg has been opened by Dr. MoMenamy , the proper jointing of the broken bones made and when Mr. Talbot conversed with the reporter porter ho seamed very bright and hope ful of ultimate recovery. A Mr , Lang , of Persia , Iowa , came to the Institute perfectly blind , ao that he had to be led. A short tlmo slnca he iras discharged , wonderful to say , in the enjoyment of good eyesight. Mrs. J. B. Goltzman , of York , reports , after two months , that she has boon perfectly cured of piles of two years standing. Mrs. C B. Nelson , the wlfo of the Tenth attoot land agent , who for years has been a con firmed invalid , and haa sought In vain for advlco from the boat physicians ol America and Europe , has boon for a few trooks undergoing treatment at the Institute. She ia Improving greatly and yestordiy for the first tlmo ia months went out riding. A , T. Gowo , of Lincoln , for whose son Dr. McMonamy bad a brace made , writes that the brace acts to perfection and that his son is pro gressing favorably toward recovery. A number cf other wonderful things wera noted by the scrlba the detailing ol which cannot bo Indulged In for lack of time and ipaco. Suffice It to say that It would well repay anyone to take a trip through the Institute , for many Interest ing revelations wonld bo made to him. In connection with the Institute , Is run a braoomaklng eetabllHhrnont , whera all sortl of braces and surgical appliances are manufactured. The manufactory Is the only ono of Us kind In the west , and Is In charge of a skillful and experienced art ! san. san.Tho Institution since Its opening last fall has treated 1,810 cases and many dlfilcnlt and delloat operations have been performed within Its walls. It is doing well , and certainly deeorvos to , as It It Qrjtchsi in every particular. As a slight evidence of Hi prosperity and the general desire to do everything for the patients which actuates the management , It may pa mentioned that Dr. McMonamy has | uit paid ? 5UO for a splendid span of lories which are to bo used in oonnec tlon with the Institution. A PAIR OF TOUGHS , Officer Donovan I'onnoect Upon Lty A Stranger and Oliokocl , Oflioor Donovin had a round yesterday with an Individual , who Tom Plerronet siys Is the hatdoit character ever In the city jail. H'a ' name , or at least the name he gave at police headquarters , ia John MoGraw. About noon yesterday , with but any provocation whatever , ho made an assault en Donovan , at the corner of Tenth and Dooglas streets by trying to choke him , They struggled several mlcntei , and Donovan finally released himself from tha scoundrel's graip by welt ins ; him over the head with his mace , lie wai then taken , followed by a large crowd of loafers and boys , to the jail. A 'm 1o of McUraws named Pete Morris tried to asilit htm In his fight with Dan [ evan , bnt officer Donohno happened tc | bo near and took the young man in charge.

Iho U. & O.'a 13IK Job. Philadelphia S pecial. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has go a big job on its hands. It haa won it great fight to secure an entrance Into the city , and all that It needs to complete Iti chain Is the right to build a bridge across the Schuyklll. But the work of making a road-bed will be no email task. It hat got to tear down buildings and condemn private property right and loft. Proba bly It will cost the road something Ilka $10,000,000 before it gets comfortably settled. The road la to outer the city through the sparsely Battled extremities of West Philadelphia , and hopes to cross the Schuyklll not far from the oil Grey's ferry bridge , which carries the Penney ! vnnla road's ' freight cars to the old pas uonger station of the Philadelphia , Wil mington and Baltimore railroad on Broad street , a mile or more south of Cheatnnt. Having crossed the river to the east side , It has the right of way along the bank. The wharf property , which consists prin cipally of lumber , coal and marble-yards and Ico-houaes , Trill be about destroyed. Of course the land along the bank to Chestnut street Is nearly level , and there fore little grading will bo required , bnt the road has got to cut a irldo strath along Us path , and pay well for It. At Chestnut street the main depot Ia to be located , tnd plans are being drawn for It. The first street east rf the Sohuyl dll Is Twenty-fourth. Eventually the road expects to take the whole tquare between Twenty-third and Twenty fourth streets , and probably from Chott nut to Walnut. Pausing under Chestnut and Ma ket itroots the road ia to skirt the rlvor nntil t reaches the park. Hero the Reading railroad trocka are not only unalghtly bnt dangerous to all drivers into the park. Cho main entrance Is at Green atroetand every afternoon carriages roll In by the nmdrods. Tboy are obliged to cross the network of tracks. As tbo Baltimore Ohio Is to use the Reading system In tbo oliy , It will bo obliged tosink these tracks and tunnel , ( or a long distance , When this work is done an unsightly object will be removed , but It la going to cost in enormous sum. Having struck the Reading tracks , the now read will have the Reading depots at Thirteenth and Cnllowhlll and Ninth and Qroen streets to fall back npsninad dltlon to its Immense station ac Twenty ourth and Chestnut. The reading runs ta Now York trains from Ninth and jiroeti. The people who have boon man- tglng tbo Baltimore and Ohio campaign uforo the city councils expect'to got nto running order by the first of next rear. But the job is of such magnitude ; hat It Ia vorg doubtful if the promise can 30 kept. Although the road has got an entrance ( nto Philadelphia , It la threatened with more trouble before It taps Now York , None of the trunk lines want another read. Vandorbllt does not want It any more than the Erlo or Pennsylvania , Uoadlng Is about bankrupt. Its leased Jersey lines have no money. Between Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania tbo compact between tbo Baltimore it Ohio and Reading , by which the Baltimore people expect to roach New York , may yet fall. This Is said to be their plan. In suoh nvent the Baltlmora must build to Now York and take Its chances for 'terminal ' facilities. The fight la not over Western Lines In u New I'ool. CHICAGO , III , , July 23.

The Sun's specie jiu London says : The Osborno homo 3owo , and whole of the Isle of Wight an : rowdod with royal personages , foreign min store knd German princollnps , assembled to io honor to the wedding of 1'rlncoss Beatrice , nd 1'rinco Henry , of Battenburjr , to-clny. The Prlnco and Princess of Wales have with1 rawn from the burly burly on the shore and no spending their time on board the royal acht Ojborno which In anchored off Cowoi. nlhotonn of Cowea and at the Uiborne louse , is a tremendous amotint of noise , bus Io and confusion. The Inns are crowded with ourists and suites of nobles , ( inns are being red almost continously In honor of tha arri al of more or less august personages and liurch bells hnvo boon ringing al. . ay to express popular joy. The joy a already half distracted the residents nil it ia expected they will lese their Its entirely by the close of thu day. The ilo of Wight volunteers done obeisance to 'rince Henry by begging him to accept the colonelcy of their battalion , and n silver sword. The young prince , who , by the way , Is only n junior lieutenant In his own country , 'graciously ' accepted the ollico and the gift. 'All ' vessels in the bay Including ; innumerable jyachts are gayly decorated with bunting. The Jwoather In pleasant but warm , and there IB every prostiest of favorable weather for the 'present. ' The list of guests invited to the { wedding does not includu any Americans. | The Herald's cable naye ; The Isle of Wight Is like that fanciful island described by the 'poet ' laureate as "Sown with happy fairies and with holiday. " The Isle of Wigh : is Iproud that within n few hours will occur the last Victorian wedding that can over bo celo rbntecl. The cpromony will take place at St. , Mildred's , WhippinRham , mx miles north of Newport City. It is the first wed ding in the quoen'd family that has had its altnr outside of royal precincts. AH the sis .tors . and brothers of Princess ISoatrlco were married either at St. James or Windsor pal ace , except the lamented Princess Alice , who was arriod at Oaborno House , adjacent to Whippiogham. The absence from n royal prcinct , perhaps , befits the station of the bridegroom , Prlnco Henry of lUtonberg , wherever that Is , for ha is no far below the chemical standard of royal blue blood that the bride's brother , the prloca of Wales , and royal dukes , mildly remonstrated against her mesalliance , and her sister and brother-in-law of Germany , sanctioned ry th'ir empress mother , declined to be present' ' at the ceremony , or allow their children to join their cousin as bridesmaids. The bride groom la substantially a morganatic eclon of n poor German family. Hu military pay , i'400,1 together with a paternal allowance of JL'JoO annually , reminds one of what the Into John Brown said , comirenllng on the marriage of the duchess of Albany nithPiinca Leopold , " 'Tis ' agrandiug landing lassee. " But it is match of sentiment ; indeed , ono of love at first tight , nurtured by time and confirmed by maternal sympathies. If , ' therefore , Princess Beatrice yields up nmui-5 tious aims and continues to lead a quiet do-i mestic lifo by tlio side cf a lovely husbinciS near her queen mother , whose lifo she always , ! cheered , who then ought to say a word agains her choice ? This wedding will always be re markable for omissions. Gkdatono , mindfu of the snub he received In his own omission at the Duke of Albany's wedding , declined to bt present at this event. Lord Salisbury , th < irst bearded premier in a long series of cabi nets , Is a guest without the marchioness and n a seat of honor.
