Sirs. Award's Claim.
Mrs. Emily Agard , of ttockfonl , Illi
nois , comUienced suit in tlic United States
circuit to obtain $0,000 damages from
tlio city of Uinnlm on nccount of tlio
dcntli 6f liur husband , who , it is alleged ,
died from injuries received hi falling oil
a defective sidewalk.
On the 'night of Sunday , January 7 ,
ISSl , Sir. James U. Agard , at that tiino
stopping In Omaha , was walking along
Capitol nvonuo eastward , returning from
cliurch. At a point between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets ho fell on the
sidewalk , which It is alleged , was rotten
and insecure. The ground which was
hard and slippery had been cov
ered with a light fall of snow ,
and when Mr. Agard fell from
the sidewalk , he was precipitated violently
lently upon his leg. llo sustained a severe -
voro fracture of thiil member. He was a
strong , ku.ilthy man , though lifty years
of nge , but nevertheless his injuries
proved fatal. Despite the fact that he
received the best of medical treatment ,
ho died in a fuw weeks. Ho loft n wife
and throe children in Itockford , Illinois ,
hi comfortable circumstances. The peti
tion of the wife , Emily Agnrd , alleges
that she has been deprived of the income
of her husbnnd , and that her consentient
Joss up to the present limn hasuecn
$ o,000. In nddition , it is alleged more
than $1.000 was paid out for medical
treatment. So that the total of the in
demnity asked for is $0,000. Why the
suit was not started before does not ap
pear.
City Attorney Connell , when asked
about the case yesterday , said that lie
should defend on two grounds :
1'irst : That the sidewalk was not in a
dangerous condition , but that the acci
dent was merely the result of an unfor
tunate mis-step on the -part of Mr.
Agard.
Second : That the city had never re
ceived ti noticCj cither actual or con
structive , that tins sidewalk in that nlaco
was in a dangerous condition , and hence
could not bo held liable for accidents oc
casioned by suoh defect oven if one really
existed.

TJIK OTJ1I3U SIDK.
AVIinOIr. Pressman Jinn to Say About
tlio Replevin Suit.
William Prclssman , representing the
Tenth street pawnbrokers A. Kline &
Co. , called tit the Uui : otlieo yesterday
to give the correct version of the un
pleasant all'airm which ho ligured Tues
day.Ho
Ho says that ho loaned last week
$20 to a . woman by tlio name
of Gould , on some jewelry. Yester
day the husband who claimed to
have some lion on the jewelry , deter
mined to get them out of pawn without
going thiough the unpleasant process of
redemption. Accordingly replevin pa
pers wore issued and placed In the hands
of Constable Hustiu. According to Mr.
I'roissman'ij story , Itnstin came into his
ollice , and without tolling who ho was
or wanted , called for lU cents worth of
cartridges. They wore , given him ,
and ho filled , his . revolver.
Just atthis moment another party stepped
into the store und bought a pair of gloves.
This detracted Mr , I'rios.sman's attention
for a moment. When ho turned around
the constable was at the open s\fosearch ;
ing every drawer mid apartment in it.
Mr. 1'roissman at once thought ho must
bo a thief , and started toward him , ex
claiming , "What are you doing Ihoror"
"Don't foine hero , "answered Hustin. " ! ' ! !
blow your bruins out , " at the same time
presenting the landed revolver. 1'rciss-
man , ofcourse , , well aware that discre
tion was the better part of valor , stopped
back. Itiibtin continued to vnnsaok tlio
s.ifo until ho secured the bracelets and
chain which Mrs. Gould had pawned.
Ho then showed his iv rit of replevin mid
"walked out of the sloro laughing.
'Mr. I'rojssmau says that Rustm did not
show his star o.r his writ of replevin , but
acted more lil o a thiof. Mr , r. declares
that ho will criminally prosecute the
constable.
Constable Rustln , in convcsation with
tf reporter ycstorpay denied emphati
cally that ho had drawn a revolver on
Prcissman.
TIIH GRAND JURV.
County Commissioner O'KcoflTc Thinks
They Should Resign.
A lending citizen yesterday met a
county commissioner in the L'axton hotel-
and In the course of a warm conversation
informed him it was the impression of
many good men that money had been
used in the drawing of the present grand
jury. The commissioner said that so far
ns he knew the impression was both mi-
jnM. and unfounded , and ho would bo
willing to spend money to ascertain if it
were based on fact. The citizen further
stated that ho was constantly meeting
the best men in town and was in position
to know whereof ho spoke con
cerning public opinion , In a short
time the county hoard was informed of
the suspicion which was entertained , and
each ot the members protested nis inno
cence and displayed an eagerness to
have the charge substantiated. Commis
sioner O'Ki'cfo said that if lie had any
jnlluonco with the jury ho would exercise
it to induce them to resign. Not because
lie tenred Investigation into the manner
in which the body had been formed , but
because ho know that , act as they would ,
tlio jury would be criticised and
censured. There wore two cases to
como before tlto jury upon which
public sentiment was strong. It
the jury found an indictment in either , it
would bo condemned , if it didn't , it
would bo condemned. As at present
constituted , it was , in the estimation of
some of its critics , designed to indict a
certain man ; by tlio opposing clique , it
had been formed to allow that man to go
free. The jury Was b'etwcon two fires.
It could not stand both , no matter how
honestly it may have boon drawn , nor
how wcll.it was disposed to do its
duty , llo had boon to sco one
of the members of the jury
and had said to him that if he ( O'Keofo ' )
were drawn as juror , ho would call a
meeting of tlm others 'and try induce
them to resign. Mr. O'Kccfo did not say
what the juryman proposed to do under
tlio circumstances. This plan would re
lieve the members from criticism and
abu.se , and invite any person or persons
who know about money being employed
with the commissioners to come forward
and tell what they know.
BEATING A ViANDLADV.
T. Vf. Smith Tries the Costly Kvpcrl-
incut anil Lauds in Jiill ,
J. W. Smith is something of an adven
turer , lie lias a happy-faculty of living
by his wits.
A few weeks ago ho landed in Omaha ,
with little cash but plenty of cheek. Ho
went to boarding at the residence of Mrs.
Eleanor O'Donahoo. Ho informed this
lady that ho had procured a job ntStoph-
cnson's barn and would pay for his board
in a very few days. This satisfied Mrs.
O'Donahoo and Smith was allowed to eat
his meals for many days unmolested and
undunned. ,
Tuesday , however , rtrs. O'Donahoe ,
thinking it strange that Smith did not
offer to settle up , again asked him for
money , Smith made some excuse , but
did not ofler to produce the cash. IJoing
pressed , however , ho finally remarked
that he had : itrunk in Council Bin Us with
plenty of money in it. Would Mrs. O'D.
lend him the paltry sum ol § 1 in order
that ho might go over to the
Blafl's to get tlio trunk , so that
ho miglit pay her ? Certainly she would
Smith took the money and started ns ho
said for the Dluflsj. A friend of Mrs.
O'Donahoo agreed to accompany him to
the depot , bul Smith gave him the slip ,
and diu not go to Council lilutls. This
excited Mrs. O'Donahoo's suspicions and
vestesday she had her false mid fickle
boarder arrested and lodged in inil on a
charge of obtaining money under fnlso
pretenses.
AIJUIjIjI-IT THROUGH HIS HEART.
How a Former Resident or Those
Parts Came to His Kml.
Last Saturday a mysterious case of
either murder or siiicido was committed
on the line of the Union Pacific , a short
distance cast of llardin , in Colorado.
The victim was named Alex. T. Kstclle.
Ho was about fifty years of ago , and had
for some time previously been leading the
life of n rancher in the neighborhood of
jds death. He is supposed to have lived
in Council Ulnlls , and in the vicinity of
Missouri Valley at a not very distant
point of time in the past. His remains
wore found in a sitting position backed
against ti telegraph polo with a hole
through his heart , It is supposed that
before the fatal sliot was fired , the vic
tim held an upright position against tlio
samopost.and when the bullctstruckJiim
fell to the ground. .Beside him was found
an old-stylo Smith & Wesson revolver. One
chamber was empty. The bullet went
upward and grazed the polo at about the
height of the victim. A verdict of sui
cide was returned.
Now Cliurch.
Tlio now Congregational cliurch at
Ognllaln was dedicated tlio 24th inst.
The exercises wore conducted by Mis
sionary Superintendent Mnllo of Omaha.
A largo audience attended morning and
evening and pledged a remaining debt of
570. A cash contribution of $1150 was
given by friends in Omaha , also twelve
do/on chairs , two chandeliers and a pul
pit lamp were presented by the ladles of
the place.
A neat pulpit was made by one of the
skilled mechanics of the town , '
A Sunday school and church has been
organized hero by Rev. L. E. ISrown , who
also is principal of tlio public school.
A now bii'lding ' for the latter will bo
erected tlio coming season , woith $ : i,000 ,
Ocallala and vicinity has an intelli
gent and enterprising class ot citizens'
and an assured future before it.
John Dull Gats There.
Tlioboarders of tlio South Omaha
Stock Exchange were sitting about
tlio lire the other evening , con
versation lagged und the boys were
looking homesick. To revive their
spirits the proprietor , Johnnie Hichart ,
ofleivd to "si't 'em up" to the man who
would toll the biggest lie. The stories
which followed would have made oven a
15nron von Munchausen envious. The
last man , a late arrival from her Hrit-
tanio majesty's kingdom , told a short
story but one straight to the point :
"Johnnie Riehnrt is a man who would

The 0 , 15 & Q. from the east came in

SOME PECULIAR PEOPLE ,
It Takes All -KitVls of People to Make a
{ World.
The Number orstranpoanil Uoccntrlo
'
Characters Pound in Every
Community anil Neigh-
i horhootl.
It is a common oxpiession , says the
Denver Ncwsrttritt "it takes all kinds of
people to nmku'it- world , " but very few
persons have any idea of the number of
eccentrics , sometimes erroneously called
cranks ( often because their motives and
purposes are not understood ) , that live In
every community.
Some ten years ago there lived in Syra
cuse , N. V. , a younir gentleman of for
tune and education named AVldto. Mr.
White had a hobby of a peculiar kind ,
which earned for him the title of "crank , "
and was of great service in his native
town. White's peculiar mania was the
extinguishment of fires , and to this end
from his own private purse ho built an
engine houso.procured the most improved
chemical engines , with magnillcont
horses to draw them , employed a sulll-
cient force of men , and actually caused
to bo creeled throughout the city u pri
vate telegraph-alarm system , by which
nn alarm could bo sent to him in the
shortest possible timo. He slept in the
engine-house , m fact lived there , and ,
although there was a regularly organized
fire department in the city , White and
his volunteer apnratus were nearly
always the llrst at the fires , and not only
did good service but stimulated tlio
regular department to extra exertions , to
the great advantage of the public. Mr.
White , who was of a decidedly scientific
and ingenious turn of mind , was the in
ventor of many of the devices now used
by lire departments throughout the coun
try for quickly hnrncssing liorscs , it being
his aim to annihilate time so far as possi
ble in getting to a lire. He adhered to
his hobby for some years , and then mar
ried an estimable lady of good family ,
built himself a dwelling immediately op
posite his beloved engine-house , and
placed directly over the head of his bed
an enormous alarm gong. To this , however -
over , his wife , after a short experience ,
made strenuous objections , whereupon ,
with n very proper respect for her wishes ,
ho ono day concluded to abandon the pet
hobby of his life and donate the whole
outfit , which had cost him so much time
and money , to the city of his birth.
In Detroit , Mich. , there lived some
years ago an old gentleman named Cnss.
who , having plenty of means , gratified
some idiosyncrasies which wotilu entitle
him , in the minds of some , be to coiisjd-
orcd a cranTff jKlr. Cass' peculiarities
consisted in making collections , not only
of pictures , books and works of art. but
of clothing for his ; personal use , and he is
credited witlifjiavjug been the owner of
several hundred complete suits , includ
ing lints and sjioes , which were arranged
around a largo dressing room adjoining
his bedroom , , each suit having its own
lint , and pair of shoes or boots.
The clothing w.is brushed every
day , the shoes' kept polished , and
everything in perfect order for wearing ,
and each dayjie'itppcared ' on tlio streets
clad in a dillerent Miit. There resides in
Philadelphia ,0.4'Qung , man named Moore , .
the son of , a uVulftiy distiller , but who ,
libtwithstamijng/jiis father's business.
never in his life drank u drop ot any kind
of liquor. Younj ! Air. Moore , who is a
married ninn-hUd .several hobbies or con
ceits that ho indulged as n means of
spending the very liberal allowance of
$1,000 per month made him by his father ,
which would teem to entitle niui to be
long to the great army of cranks. When
ho was married his father gave him a
beautiful residence in a fashionable portion
tion of the city , worth perhaps $20,000.
The house was furnished in fitting style ,
and from that time all Moore's ingenuity
and the allowance made him by his fath
er woro. devoted to alterations and
changes of the dwelling and lilling it
with bric-a-brac and costly and curious
articles. After a couple of years the in
terior resembled a museum , for which
it would seem that all the countries of the
earth have been ransacked. The dillerent
rooms of the dwelling , some fifteen in
number , were unique in nil tlieir ap
pointments , and contained everything of
luxury that human ingenuity could de
vise. The owner was so proud of tlio
collection , for that is the best doiigna-
tion of it , that ho employed a relative
to exhibit the interior to any one curious
enough to examine it. The collection in
cluded over one hundred pairs of cups
and saucers of the finest manufacture ,
wliich had cost him from § 50 to $100 per
pair. Furniture of odd and costly de
sign , window-shades of the most expen
sive character made of spun gln&s , a
jargo number of ingenious clocks , paint
ings representing a small fortune , and
Turkish divans and smoking appliances ,
all of them imported , and placed in a
room expressly sot apart as a smoking-
room , are only a small part of the cur
ious tilings gathered by this eccentric
gentleman. Having remodeled the in-

LITERARY'DUDES AND DUDINES.
Who Imagine Themselves
AVI tit Genius and I'luy the t'art
oT Apes.
r. / ; . 7/wMic.
There Is no other class of people Hint
strum ns high in populnr estimation ns
htonuy pooplo. As n natural outcome
of this fact , there Is no other class of people
ple whom dudes and idiots npo to such n
violent extent. A fool with money is
quite likely to buy n lot of books and put
them In a nicely finished book-case , and
after lilting up a room in his house to ac
commodate thorn and naming it "libra
ry , " and strewing its floor with papers
and magazines and covering his crntor
table with a ihcss of writing materials
wliich would make a real literary man
sick at the stomach , ho sits down and
runs his fingers through his hair to maku
him look studious and waits
for company , which ho receives In his
alleged library and bores with a
lot of small talk on largo subjects.
A real literary man never wants his
working hours imposed upon with soft
headed company. If there is ono thing
in the world of which lie wants less than
any other tiling in the world , it is compa
ny. Ho would ho more witling to bo
struck by lightning tl'an by some rattle
brained dunce who wishes advice that
will enable him to become n celebrated
writer. Ho would rather take a good
mauling than bo called upon by a young
man of undoubted genius. A real literary
man knows just what genius is. llo
knows that tlio worse case of It can be
cured by the application of a shingle in
broken doses at the scat of the disease.
lie knows by his own experience that all
there is of genius in a man , is the back
bone that would induce him to cat a sup
per of scran-Iron and wash it down with
castor oil , if ho could not got anything
better , coupled with a foundation ot gooq ,
horse sense and n will that would not bo
bent by a hydraulic jack-screw or broken
with a. crow-bar. Any young man who
has these qualities , is as much of a gonlus
as lie would bo if ho had been born in the
light of the moon with ? 40 in his pocket
and a half completed novel under his
arm.
arm.Mon are not born authors or anything
clso great. A man does not como into
the world with u box of genius strapped
on liis back like a soldier's knapsack
any more than chickens are born with
spurs , and no man was over charged
with genius , until , by hard work ho
managed to dig up treasures that others
wore too lazy too mine. When a man ,
after starving himself tor half his life
and working until his back aches and his
oycs get dim and sunken , docs some
cherished fiicce of work o well that
other people are surprised at its perfec
tion and beauty , the lazy folks that have
been sleeping away the hours when ho
was at work , awake , rub their eyes and
look at his work , and then go mnong
their friends to toll thorn the great lie
that ho is a genius.
1 have never seen any such thing as
genius in my life. I have no faitli in the
idea that great literary men and women
are born like frogs , and that even while
they arc more tadpoles , they wiggle
themselves into prominence by the use of
this tail which fails off when their fore
legs appear. There are men and women
dying in our great country unknown and
unhonorcd every daj' , who possessed at
their birth all the geniuses that came into
existence when Dickens gave his first
order for breakfast and Herbert Spencer
demanded u dry dinner. Great men and
women arc being born and Hying and
dying every day without having risen
to renown , onlv because they lacked tlio
indomitable self-reliance and btrcnglh of
purpose that enables1 a man to rise light
ing after ho has been knocked down for
the hundredth time.
These people who fiv up everything
nice and pretend to bo literary , are only
literary dudes and dudincs. 'ihoy would
make good statutes perhaps , but they will
never do anything to make the world
proud of thorn , and I wish in this connec
tion to assure them that unless they tnko
a strong physic and work off some of
their genius , thov will be perfectly safe
when old Father Time comes along and
cuts an arm-full'of literary men with his
sickle. Literary work never makes any
body famous who is born with genius.
A man aflhclcd with genius lias too many
aches and pains to allow him to ilo the
hard work that meets the approbation of
a critical world. Ily the time ho euros'
himself , ho is not strong enough for
literary work.
LOCKS WHICH ALMOST SPOKE.
A Correspondence With Hair Carried
i ) a Hctwccu a Convict anil
Ills FriemlH.
A correspondence with hair was once
attempted by n notorious Parisian thief
in durance vile and his comrades outside.
A letter was sent to the prisoner from his
sweetheart containing merely a lock of
hair wrapped in the leaf of a book ! The
jailer did not consider the souvenir im-
portnnt enough to bo delivered , but in a
lew days there came a similar inclosure
and yet another.
This aroused suspicion , and the gover
nor took the matter in hand. Ho exam
ined the leaf of the book ; it was that of a
common novel , twonty-.six lines on a
page. Then ho studied the hair and no
ticed tlio small quantity of the gift.
Counting the hairs ho found them of un
equal length and twu-nty-siv in number ,
the same as the lines on the page. Shuck
with the coincidence ho laid the hair.s
along the lines on tlio page which they
respectively reached , beginning at the
to ] > with the smallest hair.
After some trouble lie found that the
end of each hair pointed to a dillbront
letter , and -that those letters combined
formed a slang Bcntonco which informed
the prisoner that his friends wore on the
watch and that the next time ho left the
prison to bo examined an attempt would
bo made to rcsciio him. The governor
made his plans accordingly , The attempt
was made , but the resoners fell into their
own trap.

A TERRIBLE CONFESSION ,
A Physician Presents Some Startling Facts ,
Gnu It bo Hint the Danger liul lent oil
Is Universal.
The following slory which is nttrncl-
ing wide nUuntion from the in'css is so
raninrknblo that wo cannot oxctiso ourselves -
selves if wo do not lay it before our
vendors entire :
2\tthc \ IMttorof the Hndiwfcr ( A * . V. ) Democrat :
Silt : On the fir t day of Juno , 1881,1
hvy ut my residence in this city sur
rounded by my friends und waiting for
death. Heaven only knows the ugony I
tlion endured , for words can never de
scribe it. And yet , if u few years previ
ous any one hail told mo that I wns to bo
brought so low und by so terrible n dia-
cuso , I should have scoil'eil at the idea. I
had always been uncommonly strong and
healthy , and welched over 200 pounds ,
and Imrdly Knew , in my own experience ,
whtit pain or sickness woro. Very many
people who will read this statement re-
ali/.o nt times they fro unusually tired
and cannot account for it. They feel
dull pains in various parts of the body
and do not understand wliy. Or they
are exceedingly hungry ono day and en
tirely without appetite the next. This
was inst the way 1 toll when the relentless
malady which hail fastened itself upon
me ih-bt began. Still L thought nothing
of it ; that probably 1 had tauen a cold
which would soon pass away. Shortly
after this I noticed a licavy , and at times
neuralgic , pain in ono side of iny head ,
but as it would como one day and bo KOIIO
tlio next , I paid little attention to it. 'ihcn
my stomach would get out of order and
mjf food often failed to digest , causing at
times grout inconvenience. Yet , even as
a physician. I did not think that these
tilings meant anything serious. I fancied
I was sulYering from malaria and doc
tored myself accordingly. But I got no
better. I next noticed a peculiar color
and odor about the iluids 1 wns passing
also thnt there were large quantities ono
day and very little the next , and that a
persistent froth and scum appeared upon
the surface , and a sediment settled. And
yet 1 did not rcali/.e my danger , for , in-
ileed , seeing these symptoms continually ,
I finally became accustomed to them ,
and my suspicion was wholly disarmed
by the fact that Ihnd no pitin in tlio nf-
footed organs or in their vicinity. Why
I should have been so blind I cannot un
derstand 1
J consulted the best medical skill in the
land. I visited all the famed mineral
springs in America and traveled from
Maine to California. Still I crow worsa.
! No two physicians agreed to my malady.
One saiu 1 wns troubled with spinal irri
tation , another dyspepsia ; another , heart
disease ; another , general dobllityainollior
congestion of the base of the brain , and
so on through a list of common diseases ,
the symptoms of many of which I really
had. Jn this way several years pa. hed ,
during which lime I was steadily grow
vor.-p. My condition had really 1
coYne pitiable. The slight symptoms J at
Ill-fit experienced were developed into
terrible and constant disorders. My
woigltt had been reduced from ' , ' 07 to ! ! 0
pounds. My life was a burden to myself
and friends. I could retain no food on
my stomach , and lived wholly by jn-
jeetions. I was a living jna-ss of pain.
My pulse was uncontrollable. In my
agony I frequently fell lo the lloor and
clutched the carpet , and prayed for
death ! Morphine had little or no ofibel
in deadening the pain. Tor six days and
liighls 1 hail the ucatli-promonitory hic
coughs constantly ! My water was filled
with lube-casts and albumen. I was
struggling with liright'a disease of the
kidneys in its last stages !
While sutl'oring thus I received a call
from my pastor , the Hov. Ur. Footo , at
that time rector of St. Paul's Hpiscopal
church , of this city. 1 felt that it was out
last interview , but in tlio course -of con
versation Dr. Footo detailed to mo lliu
many remarkable cures of i-n es like my
own which had como under iiis observa
tion. As a practicing physician nnd n
gradiinto of the schools , I derided the
idea of any medicine outside tne regular
ciinnnels being in the least bont'iiciai , So
solicitous , however , was Dr. Foote , that I
finally promised I would waive my preju
dice. I begun its use on the first day of
Juno , 1831 , and took it according to di
rections. At lirat itsk-konod mo ; but this
] thought was a good t > ! rjn for ono in my
debilitated condition. I continued to
tnkeit ; tiio sickening sensation departed
and I was finally able to retain food upon
my stomach , In it fiw ila.ys I notieed a
decided change for thu belter , as
also ditl my wlfo and friends , My hic
coughs ceased and 1 experienced lo s pain
tliun formerly. 1 wns so rejoiced nt this
improved condition lliat. upon what I
had IHIuvcd but a few days before was
my dying bed , 1 vowed , in the presence
ol my family and friends , should I re
cover 1 would both publicly and private
ly nmke known this remedy for the good
of humanity , wherever and whenever 1
hail an opportunity , and this letter is in
fullillnient of that vow. My impiovo-
miiiit was constant from that limu , and
in loss than throe months 1 had gained " ( i
pounds jn flesh , became entirely free
from pain nnd 1 hellovo 1 ewe 1113' life and
present condition wholly to Warnur'afinfo
euro , tlio remedy which 1 used ,
Since my recovery I have thoroughly
ro-iiiyestigatt'd the subject of kidney dif
ficulties ami liright's disease , and the
truths developed are astounding , 1 there
fore ftatu , dcliberntcly , and us a pliYM-
clan , that 1 believe more l/ntn one-half the
( lent/is ivltiuh occur in America tire cntuctl
by UriyM'a disease of t/tc kidneys. This
may sound like a rash statement , bull
am prepared lo verify il fully. 1) ) right's
disease has no distinctive features of its
own , ( indeed , it often develops without
any pain whatever in thu kidneys or their
viehiitj ) , hut hns the symptoms pf nearly
every other common complaint , lluii-
dreds of people iliq dully , whoso
are.authoiued by a physleinns ccrtilicnlo
s occurring fro In "Heart Disease , "
"Apoplesj- . "I'.iralyds , " "Spinal Com-
phuut , " "Klieunuilism. " "Pneumonia , "
s1 1 *
nnd the other common complaints ,
when in reality it is from Hrlght's disease
of the kidneys. Few physicians , nad
fewer people , rcali/o the extent of this
disease or its dangerous nnd insidious na
ture. It steals into the system liken
thief , manifests Us presence if at all by
the commonest symptoms and fastens it
self in the constitution before the vfoUm
is aware of It. It is nearly as hereditary
as consumption , quite as common ailil
fully as fatal. Entire families , inheriting
it from tlioir ancestors , have died nnd j'ot
HOMO of the number knew or realised the
mysterious power which was removing
them. Instead of common symptoms it
often shows none whatever , but brings
death suddenly , from convulsions , ap
oplexy or heart disease.
As ono who has sutlercd , nnd knows by
bitter oxporioneo whnt ho anys , 1 implore
every ono who reads these words not to
neglect the slightest symptoms of kidney
dilliculty. No one can allbrd lo hazard
such chances.
I make the foregoing statements based
upon faols which 1 can substantiate to
tlio letter. The welfare of those who
may possibly bo sufferers such ns 1 wns is
nn ample inducement for mo to take the
stop 1 have , and if I can successfully
warn others from the dangerous path in
which I once walked , I am vailing to endure -
duro all tlio professional ami personal
consequences. J. D. HENION , M. D.

" \Vomlorful rtcsullB From George
Francis Train's K.\poi-iinciitnl
Mile.
London Ilailway Times : It is some
thing less than thirty years since George
Francis Train obtained power to lay down
an experimental tramway from Kensing
ton Common to Westminister road , a dis
tance of about a mile , and although the
work was most unsatisfactory to tlio promoter
meter , as it hail to be tnkeit npnt his own
expense after n very short existence , in it
we must recognize Iho germ of a great
industry from which the public is
perhaps deriving greater advanlngo
than tiioso whoso money has
brought about its developments. The
experimental mile has now grown to 000
miles in England and Wales alone , re
presenting a total expended capital of
i'l,8iy,00 ! out of an authorized 11,051-
810. These miles and money arc divided
between Ii50 undertakings , which gives
an average length of a little under live
miles for each , with nn average capital
of 7Uir)5 ; This is mndo up , of course ,
of small lines in remote provincial towns
nnd undertakings of creator mngnilitdo ,
by which tltc metropolis nnd largo cities
are served , from Blackpool , with its
mile and n quarter of road , constructed
at a cost ot 7,000 , to Liverpool , London
and Manchester , where llio capital is
counted by hundreds of thousands.
It appears that the growth of tramway
enterprise during the past ton yours has
boon steady , although not altogether sat
isfactory in a financial point ot view. In
1870 the total amount of capital invested
in this kind of security was 2,007,800 ,
representing ninety-four miles of road.
Two years afterwards the capital had
grown to 1,057,03 : ) . and the miles to 101.
and in 1880 0,750,000 of capital invested ,
representing "U ! ) miles of road. So , year
by year , tlio enterprise lias grown until
wo find recorded lor Iho twelve months
ending tlio IJOlli of Juno. 1835. n total
length of line amounting to 050 miles ,
constructed at a cost of 9,500,000 of
money.
The advance in construction has un
doubtedly been rapid , even more so than
tlio commercial results would seem to
warrant , ns prolils have , upon the whole ,
certainly not been in a lair proportion
lo tlio risk of such trading concerns' On
liio KnglMi and Welsh lines il appears
that the lotal gross income from nil
sources earned ( luring tlio past year was
-J,0l,87 ! ) , , of which 1,001,270 wns ah-
sorbed in working cost , leaving not -103- ,
OUOas a return upon a paid-up capital of
11,080,110. , Taking the income and ex-
pcndiluro in round figures , wo1 may sot
the former nt 500,000 nnd the latter at
10,000,000 , which shows in tlio aggregate
si return of 5 per cent all round among
the I'M lines , of which nine servo the
metropolitan area ,
With tramways , as witli railways , suc
cess necessarily depends upon the locali
ty to wliich their operations nre confined
nnd thus we find substantial profits
earned in some places , smaller returns in
oilmen , and absolute lo , o.s in others. Tlio
nine London lines figure for an expendi
ture of capital to the amount of 2,705-
112 ; hut from this wo must deduct 121)- )
000 , the amount which the Croyilon anil
Norwood represents , as only six months'
returns are given in Unit cube , ami then
wo have let t eight lines , stand at n cost of
2,012,18' ' , ' .
