IjaiiipsunVns Mndc tlio | : Victim i' ( i Ijiiillurous Mistake. II. C. Lampsou , a well-known western Cattleman , who has been spending a few I days in Omaha with Harry Ojlriclis , will leave this city in a day or two with the Consciousness of having had an experi ence which will servo him as a memory i for many years to come The story of this experience , briefly told , is as follows : j Yesterday a wild-looking man ; poled his head into Dr. Leo's ollieo in j the Granite block on Fifteenth street , I and rolling his eyes tragically from lloor to ceiling , whispered , "Is the doctor in ? " The ollieo boy , Max Rich , told him that the doctor had just stopped out , and in- ' Yitccl him to como in and wait. The Btranger explained that ho had a pain in his head and wanted treatment. "All right. " said the boy , "we can lix you out. " "And I feel as though I could commit , ttmurder , " continued the wild looking limn , staring straight into space. "What's that ! " asked the ollice bo.y. "I must murder somebody , " resumed tlio stranger. "You must murder some one ? " gasped | Rich , beginning to reali/.e that lie iiad a | lunatic to deal with. I "Yes , " came the reply in sepulchral ! tones , "and I guess i might just as well I begin on you I" r ' 1 ho ollieo boy made up his mind that R his last hour had como and fell to studying - | ing vigorously whether ho had butter recite "Lord's " "Now | the prayer" or 1 I Lay Mo , " when the lunatic made a da.sli I at him. Rich concluded to make one at- 8 tempt to save his lifo , and after some I skilful dpdgin" succeeded in gutliim out of the ollieo. lie rail out upon the street U nnd mooting two friends , informed them | of the situation. They at once armed I themselves with clubs , and went up to B the ollieo to "Jay out" the man who was | thirsty for gore. Thcysueeecdcd in finding - [ ing him , but contrary to their cxnocta- | tions , lie did not appear one whit like a II lunatic. Nevertheless they drew their B clubs and opened up a vigorous assault I upon him. i "Hold on ! " roared the victim ; "what | in are you trying to do ? " "We'll show whether ' | you you're going | to commit murder or not , " camq the ru- I ply , as the two men brought their clubs 1 own with a loud rap upon the shoulders I of ' 'Take a thoroughly-astonished man , I that , will you ! " | The supposed lunatic made a vigorous - | ous resistance , with sucli success that ' I'tho two men concluded to rest on their | clubs and await the arrival of Rich , the | ollieo boy , who had in the mean limo | goIID for a policeman.

There is a young man confined in the county jail for insanity who is a veritable curiosity. His name is Henry Remus , nnd the point upon which ho bases his claim to distinction is his extreme thin ness. Ills body is no thicker than n three-inch plank , the bones standing out so plainly that , with a little bleaching , Henry would make a first-class skeleton for a doctor's ollieo. His arms and legs are no larger than a broom handle , and appear to have nothing on thetu but skin. Indeed , hu is so attenuated that it is a matter of common report among the inmates of the jail that hu cannot cast a shadow. Ono of the peculiarities of this strange being is that he has nuvcr been known to take a drink. His food is shoved through the bars to him , together with water. The food hoyill always eat to the last particle , leaving thn water untouched. Of lain , no water bus been furnished him with his meals and hu never make.1 ; the lua > t complaint. The direct cause of thn poor fellow's insanity is not known to his friends , nor in all probability will it ever bo. There is a llat.dupri'ssion in the convex sur face of his skull , which may have some thing to do with his condition , though how it eame there nobody knows. Whtm asked what caused it , the boy makes an indefinite mumbling answer about falling out of a swing. His intimity or idiocy has been growing upon him since early childhood. An Omaha clergyman tolls a good one on himself. "In my early school days in the vicinity of New York , " said he , "I wont down to Coney island with a com panion for a swim. We considered our selves good swimmers , and of course went beyond the safety ropes to show olV to the crowd on shore. After disporting for half an hour we decided to return , and started shoreward We soon found that the tide was running out strong and we could make no headway against it. 1 was almost exhausted and turned on my back and prayed us 1 never prayed before. I thought of homo and friends , and mother's grief when she heard 1 was drowned. My whole life passed in review before me in less time than 1 could tell it. Just as I was passing into a kind of dreamy un consciousness , I saw one of the big roil buoys rif-o on the crest of a wave t-ouie twelve feet from inc. I summoned my failing strength and made for it. I sub- cocded in reaching it and clung to it with the grip of a drowning man. Wliilu here 1 saw my companion swept past mo , but the first law of nature had asserted it-self and I looked on his struggles with indiubronco. I then grabbed the shore ropes and never let go till ! was clear out of the water. I was completely exhausted and un nerved , and unable to move hand , foot or lips. A crowd surrounded mo and vari ous remedies were suggested to bring me to. A policeman brouirht out , a barrel and I was rolled upon it until my stomach ach was flattened against my spine. Failing to revive me in that way. they laid mo on the ground anil tore oil' m.v bathing . suit , cre ating a panic among tha ladies. Then they pried my tooth apart , and inserted the no///le of a pint Jlask well filled. My teeth closed on that like steel trap , and never loosened till the contents had disappeared. I could hear tlio owner of the llask comment on my capacity , but I moved not. When 1 did finally open my eyes the first object I saw was my companion , dressed , and grinning at my iudc ami nerveless con dition. I was soon able to dress myself and start for homo. 1 never recall that day. willio.ii ) , 11 chill , coupled with alaugli , at its ludicrous features. " One of the mslitutions'of Omaha which is or ought to bo a matter of pride to her citizens is the county jail. It is not only a gem architecturally speaking , but is kept in bolter condition by the jailer , Mr. Joel Miller , than nine-tenths of the jails in America , A reporter for the KKK who happened in there yesterday had , n short talk with Jailer" Miller about vari ous matters. The conversation finally drifted on to the subject of broad-aml- water diet for prisoners. The jailer is an enthusiast on the matter , for lie b lievcs that broud-and-water is a more- olliciont tamer of unruly spirits than ale the other devices known to prison dial ciplino. "Some men' " ho said , replying to the first question of the reporter , "win stand bread ami water diet bettor than others. 1 have known men who could not stand it more than ten days , while I have old timers here , on the other hand , who will subsist on this diet for two months or longer at a time , and then grow fat on it. As a general thing , though , thirty days is enough for the average nmii. When IID comes out of the ordeal , he is very much thinner and ho is palo as a ghost. Knoli bread ami waterman gets an allowance of two pounds of bread n day. No , there is no limit , on water. Very few men eat the full two pounds and some men do not not eat more than a half u pound per diem. I hayc never tried the diet myself , but I am told by those who have that the first ten days are always the hardest , and that after that , one be comes accustomed to the change. The articles we feud the prisoners is the com mon wheat bread carefully mado. There are about seven or eight , bread and water prisoner- ! the jail at present. "In case of siokno's the county physi cian can change the dint of a broad and water prisoner to anything he desires. The doctor's orders overrule those of the judge for the time being , As soon as the piitionl has recovered , however , ho is put back on the old diet. " An instance of the sad events nnd co incidences which are frequently crowded into a very short space of limo happened recently in tins city , Judge Dittmur , the judge of the supreme court of the state of Hanover in Pruss-a , a few days ago wrote to this city to Henry Harmon , n former collegemato and member of tlio legal profession in bis natlvo place , asking for information cor.cnrning Francis Maxon , who had como from ox- ciillont and wealthy parents , but who had been absent for several years in Amerien , and of whom no tidings had been had for yean ) . Ho had boon well educated , passed through tlm university of the place , and graduated , after some years experience , a most accomplished pharma cist. Judge Dittmar had no information to lead him to suppose That Maxcn was in Omaha , He wrote to an old schoolmate whom ho know to bo in Onuilm , but from whom Im bad not heard for years. Hut the schoolmate was no longer in lifo , After a varied lifo of many years , ranging - ing from that of a man richly endowed und trained for thn bur , Henry Harmon brought his lifo to a close us a manufacturer of vinegar in a small place in this oily. He hail becu long In nis grave when ( ha luttor arrived , nnd so had the young man after whom it es- peeially Inquired. In the yoarj that ho had boon away from homo , misfortune und a lank of capacity to grapple with Iho practical problems of every day life , M avon hud ilmally dropped from the position of un intellectual and educated gentleman to a more drivelling , vapid dreamer union * the eloemosyimry peeiipiinls of St , Joseph's hospital. ' One ing lui was missing. A search was , iiud his body was picked out of the well , into which it had cither been thrown or fallen. Ho was buried here. Now the twice unhappy news returns to Judge Dittmar that both his schoolmate. Henry Harmon , and the son of friends , FrnnciRMaxcnhavodicdlnaforoignlaml , neither having attained the proud dis tinction for which , it would seem , they had been both endowed and trained. "I notice that Omnha has taken to painting itself red , " said a curbstone philosopher yesterday. "What do you mean ? " inquired n by- slander , "Why , don't you see ? " exclaimed thn llio philosopher , "tlio craze for terra cotta again. 1 thought it Iiad become ex tinct. Hut I was mistaken. It has been revived by tlio Union Pacific. They have painted their cream colored brick wall red. Then the H. & M. fell into llio fashion , and now its big pile is as red as a well-doped lobster. Jim Stoplienson then got Into the stylo.nnd made his horse palace look like llio beacon on 1'alstall's nose. Fleming , the grocer , followed. Others are now wheeling into line , anil before long we'll have a town which will bo a source of disgust to every young man and to every"roystering old man from the country. There will bo so muck carmine in the blocks on every street that the man who would attempt to paint the municipality red would accomplish no less tutilc task if lie were to essay to paint the rose or guild the lily. Coining to look at it from a business standpoint , if much more of the staining of brick blocks is done , it will have a serious cll'eet upon the receipts which will enabje our saloon-keepers lo support our public schools. " _ AFTKK TWO WI3KKS John linng , Injured Inn Hullwny Ao- cldciit , Hies nt tlic Hospital. Coroner Drexel was yesterday apprised of.tho death of John Long , a man at the Si. Joseph's hospilal , who was injured in a railway accident sonu two weeks airo. Long has been receiving tlio bjst of med ical care , and it was thought at one time that be would recover. The accident in which ho was injured occurred at Gibson , about forty-five , miles west of Omaha , on the Union Pa ; cilie track It seems that Long- was one of n. construction gang engaged In lay ing raiN. Just as llio gang wore quitting work at night Ihu whistle of a locomo tive was hoard in the distance. The men jumped on lo their hand cars , but before they could get out of th.- way tlio train was boariug down rapidly upon them , and it became necessary to remove the hand-cars from the ti-ack. The latter were slopped very suddenly , and by the jar Long , who was on Ihu rear end of one of them , was thrown on the track. Hu- fore ho could get out of the way the tram had run over him. Long loft a wife and eight children , living in homo town in western Iowa. Mrs. Long was sent for when it be came evident that her husband could not recover , and arrived just in time to be with him during his last moments. She talks of suing the Union I'aeilie Uallroad company , though she has been strongly ad vised not lo do so. County Attorney Cowin has advised Coroner Drexel that an inquest over the rum lins was unnec essary. The Gate Cilys. Tuesday afternoon an intoivsting game of base ball , tor purely social inter course , exercise and recreation , was played by the members of the Gate City Aihletic association. It took place at Athletic park and was highly satifactory to all the participants. Two , captains were selected in Frank Parrish and Jack Morrison. Thu nine of the former con sisted of Messrs. Parrish , MurdockHaer , Siihson , Hiddeson , Carey , Kennedy , Don nelly a nil' O'Neill. Thu nine of Captain Morrison consisted of Kenniston , Me- Tague , Lovclady , Moran , Kay , Morrison , Donnelly , Leudor and Parish. Only six innings were played , they being closejy contested and resulting in a score of six to live in favor of the first mentioned players. The club has ordered twenty base ball suits but has experienced some delay in getting them. Yesterday ten of them had arrived and wore worn. They are of light grey with brown trimming. The others are of maroon and will bo used , very probably , next Friday when the next game will bo played. Police Court. A large bunch of roses on Judge Ston- bergs desk dill'uscd asweet aroma through he room yesterday as ho called the court Io order , and announced that ho was ready to lake up Hie docket. The first case called was Unit of Mike Rrenuana , belligerent Irishman who was arrested on South Tenth streel last night , in thenel of preparing to slab a young man with whom ho had become engaged in a quarrel. Ho was lined ? 10 and costs and committed in default. John Oldriim was arraigned for steal ing a watch and some clothing from llio St. James hotel , where has been working. He plead not guilty and was committed for further examination. John llilleke was lined $ . " > and costs for intoxication. Clius. Anderson , John Murphy and John MoHvoy were released on a similar charge. Six vagra'nts were ordered lo leave town. lie Was a Hercules , Andrew Monshegan. the "man with the iron jaw , " who twisted Olllcor Onus- by's arm out df shape Sunday afternoon , has been sent to the county jail , await ing trial in the police court. The dis trict attorney , who thinks the oll'ense n serious ono _ , threatens lo lilo an informr- lion against him for mayhem. "I was not to blame for creating a dis- lurbancu" said the man with the iron jaw to his lawyer , as the hitler was try ing to draw from him llio facts of the case ; "what did I do ? Why I was feel ing good , and I only bit out a chunk of a beer glass , and chewed it up. " "Did you pull the policeman's arm out of joint ? " asked the attorney next. "No , sir , I did not. The policeman was going to mill a gun on mo , and I simply put his arm aside. " A Victim n Second Time. Officer Dempsey yesterday was told of the sorrow of a Swede named II. Larson , from Wichita , Kan. A sclf-'constitntod very dear friend , also alleged to bo from the samit place , borrowedsfS.fiO from him. Ho was coming back immediately with the change , but failed to keep his ap pointment , A long search failed to find him , It was not the loss of the $3,50 which annoyed Larson , it was the fact that the same game should have been played upon him a second time , Identi fication of the confidence man was impos sible , A Runaway Street Car. One of the green line cars on coming down the St. Mary's avenue kill yes terday , go ! beyond the control ofj the driver. The brakes were vigorously ap plied but the horses only redoubled their speed and dashed wildly down hill. One of the passcngcrs.Mr , J , A. Griffiths , in jumping oft"was thrown to the ground , face downwards , and sustained some se vere bruscs. His lower lip was cut open to the tenth. His injuries wore dressed by Dr. S. 1C. Spalding. The car was stopped at tlio foot of the hill , and but for Mr. GriHith's inisfortiinotho accident would have be unattended by any serious rcaulu. NO KND TO THE1.BDS1NESS.

Action of the New York State Board of Health. Under the direction of llio How York State Hoard of Health , oUhty-fonr ; different kinds of baking powders , embracing nil tlio brands Hint could bo found for sale in Iho State , wore submitted to examination and analysis by Prof. C. F. CiiANUi.iit : , a member of tlio State Hoard anil Presidi'tit of the New York City Hoard of Health , assisted by Prof. KinvAitu 0. Lovu , the well-known late United States tiovernmcnt Chemist. The olllclul report shows that si large number of the powders examined wci'3 found to contain alum or limo ; many of them to such an extent as to render them seriously objectionable for use in the preparation of linmtui food. Alum was found in twenty-nine sample. This drugis employed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The presence of lime is attributed tq the impure cream of tartar of commerce used in their manufacture. Such cream of tartar was also nnnlyxcd and found to contain lime and other im purities , in some samples to tltc extent of f)3 ) per cent of their entire weight. All the baking powders of tlm market , with the single exception of " Royal" ( not including the alum and phosphate powders , which were long since discarded as unsafe or inefliciunt by prudent housekeepers ) , are nindo from the impure cream of tartar of commerce , and consequently contain of limo to a corresponding extent. The only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to bo entirely free from limo and absolutely pure is the "Royal. " This perfect purity re sults from the exclusive use of cream of tartar specially refined and pre pared by patent processes of the N. Y. Tartar Co. , which totally remove the tartrato of limo and other impurities. The cost of tins chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other , and on account of this greater cost is used in no baking powder but tlio " Koyal. " Prof. Levi : , who made the analysis ot baking powders for the New York State Board of Health , as well as for the Government , says of the purity and wholesomcness of " 'Royal : " " I have tested a package of- ' Royal Baking Powder , ' which I purchased in the open market , and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingie- diunts. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit , and does not contain cither alum or phosphates or nnv injurious substances. "E. 0. LOVE , Til.
