A noon to These 'tSulTerliui From Dfs- nnses of the Scnlp. A valuable discovery has recently boon made by Dr. S. A. Pratt , of Lin coln , Nob. , by which all diseases of the scalp , such ns dundrulT , hair falling out , baldness , etc. , can bo effectually cured and u now full growth of hair restored to bald heads no matter how long vacant. There are a number of Omaha gentle men whoso hair is again sprouting after having boon subjected to the above treatment durinc the past thirty days. Messrs. Prefason & Viney , the Omaha agents for Dr. Pratt's discovery , have never advertised this wonderful dis covery , for the reasoif that they prefer to wait until they obtain a few sample ox-bald heads to place on exhibition. Thcso gentlemen are now at work on a number of prominent heads in Omaha and with what succobs can readily bo seen by the disappearance of all gloss from the scalp. The discovery , al though now , is at the same time no ex periment. A full growth of hair has been re stored to many of the citizens of Lin coln previous to its introduction in Omaha. Why the bald heads of Lin coln should got ahead of the bald heads of Omaha seems strange. Thirty days treatment for oath year a man has boon bald i § all that is required in order to obtain a front spat at u Black Crook performance without ridicule. Even these whoso hair is falling out can now avoid the embarrassment of becoming bald. bald.Adam Adam Marred , proprietor of the Millard - lard hotel barber shop , thinking his to boggan slide was becoming too slick , investigated Dr. Pratt's discovery , and now in addition to using the prepara tion himself , is advising his friends to do likewise , und even goes so far as to try to sell them u bottle. Manning , of Beaver & Manning , the Boyd opera house barbers , had so much faith in the discovery that ho purchased the agency for Minneapolis and left his partner to soil the preparation to his Omaha friends. As the discovery isan assured success , the Omaha agents , as soon us they be- 'gin to advertise it , will lind they have their hands full.

Who would think thnt n representa tive of the gentler sex , who resides in ono of thq most palatial rosidonccs of the city of Boston , nnd is surrounded with volumes of eoloct lltoraturo , would give her nttontton to the bruin-rucking consideration of railroading thnt is , the study of the railway world , with till its intricate problems ? Yet , such is the case , in the wife of President Strongof the AtohisonTopokn & Santa Fo. "While in Omnhn , sovornl dnys ago , n reporter , in skirmishing for nn interview with the latter , chanced to saunter into his private coach that was standing on the side track nt the St. Paul depot. On entering , nn elderly lady bearing all the marks of culture and refinement , wns busily engaged in preparing manuscript. "Pardon mo , but is this Mrs. Strong ? " "Yes sir. Did you wish to see Mr. Strong ? " The reporter replied in the nfllrmn- tivo. tivo."Well "Well , ho has just stopped out to the telegraph olllco , but will soon return. Will you not bo seated und await his ar rival1 ? " The scribe gazed at the Turkish rugs , upholstery und richly furnished state room of the car , and then dropped into a roirto corner apparently lost in costly drapery. Satisfied that ho had extended the ethics of oven roportorinl etiquette , ho decided to lie In another ambush until the magnate put in ap pearance , nnd devote his time to devis ing moans of escape in case of fire by that dignitary. But Mrs. Strong took n different view of the situation , as compared with most women , and , in short , the reporter found himself con versing with a full-Hedged railroad woman. Did she understand the situa tion ? Well , just as well : is many a man who now royols in the presidency of n trunk lino. She was posted on the financial outlook , inter-state law , the presidents' agreement , the stock mar ket on Wall street , aud in fact every thing essential to a person high up in railroad circles. She knows the techni calities , and can answer questions per taining to railroad 'matters in a lan guage and with a degree of intelligence which would greatly test the ability of the best trallic managers to equal. After interviewing both the presi dent and his wife , the choice between the two interviews for. publication re solved itself into a grammatical prob lem with ' 'gender" in the balance , and the old system was gitfon procedure , the president's vorsion'suppluuting that of his learned wife. * Ono day when H. A. Johnson , at that time assistant general freight agent of the Union Pacific , was rushing to and fro in the headquarters in u manner that attracted the attention of his asso ciates , ono of the InttoiMiiquired of him what was the matter. Running his fin gers through his disheveled locks nnd with the dignity of.n Spanish envoy , ho exclaimed , "Adams is in Boston , Tom Potter is away , and nobody but mo and Kimbnll 10 do the work. " The stress which ho laid upon "mo , " and the words spoken on that occasion elicited a hearty laugh from those who know just how big a man "mo" was at the time. U * After a silence extending over a period of years , the curfew of the Bur lington is tolling. What docs itr in ? That is the question which is whined by many a lip which uttered words of encouragement , to President Perkins , when , at the head of a gigantic mo nopoly , ho was endeavoring to crush a resenting clement of honest laborers. But what a change , and what a differ ent meaning the circular conveyed which made its appearance at the Bur lington headquarters in this city Monday , as compared with that which was directed to every clerk in the building just ono year previously. The former was "on and after May 1,1889. your services will no loniror bo required ; " the latter ' 'stand by the Burlington and for those who do , promotion will bo in order. " What a contrast ! True , every clerk in the headquarters in Omaha remained at his post. But now the strike is u mutter of history and the heads of the men thiit did stand bv the Burlington are be ginning to fall like ripened fruit when disturbed by an autumnal brcozo. if # The general opinion is that General Manager Stone is largely to blnmo for the engineers' strike on the Burling ton , but an individual , well up in rail road circles , states that President Per kins is the man who is responsible. Ho states that when the management of the Burlington first came to tin issue with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin eers , Stone favored arbitration , and consulted President Perkins. The lat- lor not being cognizant of the situation , and not attaching any importance to the demands of the brotherhood , took the Htnnd that the Burlington had no right to countenance- any aggressive movement on the part of any of its employes in the light of an arbitration. The individual claims' ' that Stone , in the fuco ol his superior" oflicor , reported the condition of nffiiird < and plainly demonstrated that hoi favored arbitra tion , but. on the heconil issue , received no encouragement from President Per kins. The result in Wntorical , and if the reports be true , it cost the Burling ton company $7,000,000 to test the policy of President Perkins. * The fact that , ton days hence , the present otllcial roster 6f fho Union Pa cific will bo closely scrutinized by the stockholders of the company , has put every olllclnl of hitfh rank on the anxious scut. Many are of the opinion that some radical cimngofl will bo made , and that the headquarters hero will bo the sconoof official devastation , There are numerous rumors floating about the corridoi-b concerning what Vice-Prosi- dent Holcomb will do , provided his pat record moots with approval. Chief among those , is that J. A. Munroo , general freight agoht.will ho requested to hand in hia resignation and his place filled bv J. S. Tebbotts , now assistant .general freight agent. The position now hold bv Tobbotti is to be abolished. Connected" with this IB a rumor that Monroe or Tobbets may bo transferred to the general managership of the Oregon gen Railway and Navigation company's lines , but it is stntod that an oublorn man will bo called to that position , by an individual in a position to know. It is albo stated that there will bo u va cancy ut Salt Lake City , in the olJlco now held by Assistant General Manager Cuming. The latter is among thoao mentioned for the man- ajorsbip of the navigation lines , but the fact thnt n good trnfllo man is India- ponslblo nt that point , makes his chances boar but light upon the market. At any rate n general revision of the official rosier is anticipated , nnd that some heads will fall amid May flowers , is n foregone conclusion in the minds of many. There perhaps never was n tlmo in the history of tno lines west of the Mis souri river when traffic was so light ns nt present. At nearly every point along the Union Pacific box care are quarantined nnd idle. The same may DO said of the Burlington , nnd the Fre mont , Elkhorn & Missouri Vnlloy. But the cause of this is merely ono at tributed to the companies themselves. When the farmers of Nebraska were prepared to dispose of their grain crops , the eastern seaboard rates toolc n jump , which , coupled with a decline in the market , made it impossible for the pro ducers to dispose of their crop nnd realize a legitimate remunera tion for their labor nnd tholr investment. The result is thnt this high-hnndcd conspiracy was carried to that extent that fully 38 per cent of the 1888 grain crop is in the hands of the producers nt the present time. The farmer is now preparing for another harvest , nnd has no time to consider markets or rates , and in consequence empty and Idle cars are embargoed nlong the various lines traversing the trans-Missouri territory. Tholr Ship Towoil by n Ijcvlnlban. The fishing schooner G. II. White re turned from n halibut cruise in the North Pacific to-night , says n Port Townsend Correspondence of the Port land Orogonian. Her master , Captain Charles Johnson , relates an oxcitong adventure with a whnlo last Monday afternoon. The vessel wns anchored on Flattery banks , seventy miles from shore , with all the crow out in flvo dor ies catching halibut , when a school of flvo black whales came alongside. Ono of the school got entangled in the ves sel's cable , the anchor parted the vessel in tow of the monster , was taken at n rapid rate to the westward , the only persons on board being the captain and the cook , who wore unable to stop his progress. The whnlo becnmo exhausted and brought the schooner around in a circle within fifty miles from wh'oro they started. The windlass was rigged and the vessel hauled" alongside of the whale , which measured over eighty- four foot. With ono turn the cable became - came disentangled on the whale's Hunk , nnd the whnlo disappeared beneath the water. The captain nnd nook hoisted sail and returned for the boats , where the crows were safely found twenty-four hours later. Tno experience was the most ex citing that has over occured oil Flattery Banks. Tlio story is vouched for by all of the crow. The Varieties of Butterflies. There are said to bo moro than ono hundred thousand varieties of butter flies. Ono of the finest collections of butterflies in the world is owned by Borthold Noumogonof Now York. Only two others in the world can compare with it. Ono of thorn is in the British Museum and the other belongs to pub lic institution in Paris. A Connecticut Exile. Dr. E. B. Middiebrook , who has been an exile from Connecticut for seventeen years because of contempt of court , died in New York a.few nights ago. In 1872 Dr. Middiebrook had a difficulty with a lawyer and struck him in court. For this ho was sentenced to pay a line of 5100 and undergo an imprisonment of thirty days in the common jail. Dur ing his period of exile Dr. Middiebrook never visited his native state , A Case o' Insanity.
