CnicAoo , May 20. [ Special Telegram to

I atn n world beater. "
These words wcro uttered in a loud tone by
a dark , grizzly haired , energetic looking ori
ental whom the 200 visitors at the Lake Shore
depot this evening instinctively recognized
as George Francis Train , the champion glebe
glrdlcr.
Mr. Train arrived twenty minutes behind
his schedule time and , although ho had over
an hour in which to connect with the 11 p. m.
train for Omaha , ho was visibly annoyed.
"How are you , glad to sco you , " said ho ns
ho recognized the JJun correspondent. "So
Tnc Ben wants to know how I enjoyed my
trip ! Splendidly , splendidly. TUB BEE is
an enterprising paper , and that's why I like
it. I'm enterprising , too , so you sco there's
au aululty between us. Yes , I'll arrive in
Omaha tomorrow forenoon. They have tried
to make mo miss my connections , the demons
have , but Psycho was too much for them , " and
Mr. Train tapped Ills forehead significantly.
"One engine broke down todav , but it did not
scare us. Wall was n little nervous , " hero
George Francis looked indulgently at his prl-
vato secretary , "but I know nothing could
prevent our beating the record. "
"In how many days will you make the tour
of the world f"
"Sixty-four and one-fourth days. This Is
our sixty-lirst day. Tomorrow wo arrive in
Omaha and in three and one-fourth days we
will be in Tacoma. Nellie Bly required
seventy-two days , so that blithesome maiden
will have to try again , " and Mr. Train
chuckled and nudged the newspaper men
standing near him.
"How did you find the old world this
time ! "
"All , just as slow as over. You know I
showed the English a few things when I was
in London a quarter of n century ago. I
found out they remembered me. Do you
know how I found out ? When I got to Lon
don everybody was talking about mo. The
old timers said Train i Train I Yes , wo re
member Train. Dovll of a crank , was not
lief Yes , ho died hero in London
about two years ) ago. Kathcr nice
fellow but an awful crank. ' That's what
they said about mo. So a man does not have
to die to know what cranks will sajr about
him. I learned n good many new things on
this trip. I learned that It was Emin Pasha
that rescued Stanley and not Stanley that
rescued Emln Pasha. Why , Stanley's pretended
tended rescue has made him the laughing
stock of Europe. Don't you see that Emin
has just started back ! llo must want to bo
rescued again , ha ! ha ! ha ! Why think of
Stanley with n handful rescuing Emin who
had an army I"
Just then the last bell struck and Mr. Train
began wishing his newspaper friend goodbye ,
standing on the platform of his car as the
train pulled out. Ho shouted' ' their names
ono by one , and shook hands with them a lu
Chinese , that is , ho shook hands with himself
while ho looked tenderly at his friends.

NEIUtASKA DENTISTS.
A Session Which Promises to too of
Interest anil Importance.
A long row of dental chairs as if yearning

nual meeting.
As usual , the chair was occupied by Presi
dent II. J. Cole , who was down for an ad
dress , but on account of the small attendance
It was postponed until bomo future meeting.
In announcing the programme for the
evening , President Cole suited thatowing to
circumstances over which ho had not control
W. F. Gurlcy was unable to be present to de
liver the address of welcome. For this reason
the response by Dr. Vance of Kearney was
also postponed. Both the address and the
response will DO hoard tomorrow evening.
Dr. King , who was down on the programme
for an essay , responded , reading a paper en
titled , "A Day in the Ofllco. " The paper was
interesting , especially so to these who have
sat in the various dental chairs of the coun
try , as it treated upon tlio subject of rubber
dams , cuspids bicuspids , molars ami inferior
bicuspid buccal cavities , how they uro built. ,
extracted or repaired by the men who handle
the forceps. In closing his essay , the doctor
stated that the most agreeable part of the
profession is the charge , which as a rule av
erages one hour and twenty minutes , with a
fee attachment of Si.
The paper was then placed upon the table
and a general discussion upon its merits was
indulged in by a number of the members.
On account of the absence of the
members action upon the reports of
the committees on enforcement
of the dental ln\rphysiology , dental histology
and mlcruscopy was postponed until some
future session of the meeting.
The meeting then adjourned until 9 o'clock

Declaration of the Methodists Pros
lijrtorlniiH Ijct the Matter Atone.
ST. Louis , Mo. , May 20. In the Mcthodls
Episcopal conference , south , this morning the
committee pn.tempcrance made n longrcport ;
in which tlioy defined the posit lot
of the church on the subject
nnd gave tlio result of extensive
Inquiries of the various conferences through
out the country ns to the attitude of the
churches nnd their member * In regard to the
use of Intoxicating beverages , their maim
faetnro ami sale and llconso and prohibition
The rciwrt say.s , lu substance , that the
Methodist Eplscotiat cnurch , south , Is
emphatically a prohibition church. The com
mlttco Is nblo to state that for the most part
Hiurch members throwtholrliifiueiicoaguius
the liquor trullle. The testimony was uniforn
and unvarying ns to the fidelity of preachers
in the cause of temperance and pmctlcallj
universal as to the valuable work of the
National Women's Christian Temperance
union In the cau.so of temperance.
Tlio report was unanimously adopted.
The committee on the spiritual state of the
church made n long report condemning dime
Ing , card playing , theatre going , iittcndanco
at race courses , circuses , etc.
Dr. PhllpotofToxas moved an amcndmcn
to cover the use of tobacco and opium , but It
was ruled out of order.
Dr. Duncan of Tennessee , the author of the
the original resolution on worldlincss , con
demned the report as glossing over evils
There was evidently n disposition growing Ii
tlio church to cover up concessions to worldll
ucss.
ucss.Dr. . Hess wanted the utterance to Include
racing , owning mid selling racing homes
manipulating laud booms , buying and selling
lottery tickets , renting buildings in which
liquor tr.ifllc was carried on , owning or edit
ing Sunday papers , but It was voted down
and the committee report adopted.
Out of Politics.
Asnr.vii.LR , N. C. , May 'JO , Tim report of
the committee on temperance of the Presby
terian church of the south takes grounds
against the Interference of the church In
matters of social government. The purport
of the report is a recommendation that the
church acclaro neither for prohibition noi
for license. A motion that It be placed on
the docket and be published and sent to the
different presbyteries to bo discussed at next
year's session was adopted.
Presbyterian I'M nances.
SAIUTOOA , N. Y. , May ! M. In the Presby
terian general assembly this morning the
board of homo missions presented
its eighty-eighth annual report through
Rev. II. S. Little of Texas.
Mr. Little said the income has by a steady
general increase given a pleasing proof of the
confidence In the board , although owing to
peculiar circumstances this year closes with
balance ofSSO.WI on the wrong side.
The receipts of the first six months showed
an increase of $35 , < Xl ) ) and the first ten months
an Increase of S'.IJ.OOO ' compared with the year
before , but In February und March there was
a fulling off of i0,000. ! ' Such a deficit is dis
appointing , but we arc cheered by the health
ful increase of contributions from the Sunday
schools and the young people's societies.
The need of money nnd men is increased by
the great recent activity in railroad building ,
multiplying new settlements that must have
the compel early. Oregon , Washington , the
Dakotas , Montana , California and Nevada all
call for help. In the southern and middle
western states there is a growing and great
need. "
Rev. Edwin Wallace of South Dakota and
others spoke to the effect that this $80,000 of
debt need not stagger the church. It ought to
be paid off In three mnuths.
The secretary. Dr. Kendall , said the great
increase of the outlay for city evan
gelization in recent years accounted for
much of the deficit. Scaree-lv any
work was so much needed or so fruitful as
was this comparatively now city work.
The recommendation of the board passed :
al o recommendations in favor of a special
contribution for the debt in both the churches
and Suudav schools.

Pcaku was suspended from office this evcn-

having been discovered in his accounts. Peako
was elected to ofllce as a democrat two
years ago and was re-elected thisspring. .
It is the custom' upon the installment of a
new city council to appoint a committee to
examine into the condition of the financial de
partment of tbo city ; therefore , when the
committee was appointed last week to exam
ine Penko's books no surprise was occasioned
until it was noticed that the city treasurer
was devoting an extraordinary amount of
time over his books. This occasioned rumors
and Mayor Holmes and Comptroller Hobbs
today made a hasty inquiry , which resulted
in Pcake's suspension pending the official In
vestigation.
HOUNDED AIjlj HIS LIFE.
Tlio "Elephant iMait" Shunned hy
Every One Ilcoanse of Ills Deformity.
Wo can remember no invented lalo
that speaks so to tlio heart at once of
the cruelty of life , and tlio beauty of hu
man compassion , as the trup story cloned
this woeic by a sentence in the news-
paporfl iinnouiicin < r that Joseph Morrk'k ,
the "Klophant Man , " was dead , nays the
London Speaker. Imagine a human
soul clothed in u body so unspeakably
frightful that , seeing : it , men turned sick
with loathing1 and women fainted ; a
being who had to bo convoyed from place
to place in secret ; who hardly dared to
venture abroad even at night ; who , Hud-
ing his fellow creatures ran from him ,
grow toiTilied by the terror ho created ,
ind shuddered in dark corners like a
limited beast. Imagine him driven by
Htarvation to accept a showman's offer
ind ho exhibited to the mo-it brutal of
uidieiices , that commonly enough
ahriokcd and van pell-mell from the tout
as soon as the curtain was drawn.
Early in 18SU Me. Frodoi-lek Troves ,
one of the siu-gcoiiH of tlio London hos
pital , found Morriek in a penny show in
i room oil tlio Whiteehapel road , crouch
ing behind an old curtain nnd trying to
ivarm himself over 11 brick that wan
lieated over a gas jot. Mr. Troves went
, ip to him not only without fear or
loathing but with sympathy. For the
iirst time in his life of twenty-four yeai-t.
Mei'riek heard a kind word and was
spoken to like a man. The effect wan
nrious. It made him afraid at first.
Lie shrank as an ordinary man would
From something uncanny. Then , as ho
) egan to realize the truth , ho broke into
sobs of gratitude. Days and oven wcolcs
passed , however , before ho recovered
rom the bliock of hearing a compassion
ate word.
The police prohibited his show on the
ground of public decency. So ho wont
to iioiginni , wnero again ino pence in
terfered , anil vvhei'O an agent decamped
with his money. Monlckvim loft do ti-
tnto and starving in the street. * of a for
eign town , whore the Ignorant mob
thought him a llend.
lie came baclc to London how , no ono
quite knows. At every station und land-4 *
ing place crowds dogged him. Steam
ers refused to have him on hoard , ilut
10 came hack to London hccanso in
London lived the only man who
uid over given him a kind word.
llo made his way to the London
lospital , found Mr. Troves , who had him
odgcd for a time in nu altio in tlio hos-
ntal , and determined to lind u porma-
lent shelter for him.
Hut now it was found that no instllu-
ion would receive him. The Royul
lo.spital for incunible.s and tlio British
IOIIIQ for Incurables nliko declined to
like him in unless sulllciunt funds were
orthcoming to pay for his maintenance
or life , llo himself bogged that ho
night ho placed in a blind hospital. It
s hard to match tlio pathos of this pica.
Then In November , 1880 , Mr. Can-
jomm , the chairman of the London hos-
) Hul , wrote to tlio Timeasking help for
hla case und thu lirltUh public ro-
spondod. A room was built for Morrlfelc
on tlio ground Hoer in n remote wing of
the hospital , and there , surrounded with
books , ( lowers , and n hundred lokoim of
the kindness Unit la really quick In the /
public heart , ho Ima lived until this last
week.
Ho had found many friends the prtnoo
and princess of Wales , Mr. Gladstone
Mrs. Kendal and others. To Mrs. Kendal -
dal Is duo the happy suggestion that
Morriek should bo taken to see tlio /
Christmas pantomime at Drury Lane. *
She engaged the royal box ; she had him
brought to the theater , and look every
precaution that no strange eye should
see him. Hidden from the house behind
the curtains of the box , the "Ulophant
Man" tasted an hour or two of intoxicat
ing happiness. It was all real to him
the fairies , the splendor , and the jewels.
Alerriuk , in spite of his hideous ex
terior , and lerrlhlo experiences , wns in
his way a gentle scntimonlntlst , and
gushed'forth at times , under tlio happy
conditions of his life at tlio hospital , inverse
verso modeled on the hymns of Dr.
Watts , in which ho guvo utterance to
feelings of gratitude , tlio sincerity of
which none over questioned. It was a c
tender heart that was heating beneath u jp
mask more hideous than Unit of Orson. '
Above all , it was a heart that was tilled
with love for the man who was literally
his savior , who first spoke kindlv to him
who rescued him from a fate a thousand
times worse than death , and to the end
was both liiH doctor and his friend. Uo-
cenlly it was only Mr. Troves who could
thoroughly understand tlio poor cron-
tnro's maimed utterances ; and to Mr.
Troves lie clung to tlio last with tlio
wistful trust and affection of a dumb an
imal.
It is difficult to speak of this man's
cnso without , emotion. Hut luckily it is
harder still to hear of it and believe that
the "strugglo-for-lifers" ' have grasiwd
the true secret of life , or oven half of it.
A MAKVKhOUS SO11T OK AV ATI-ill.
A Ijakc In the State of Washington
AVIiiuh Cures Diseases.
Twenty-live years ago a Frenchman . /
crossed the continent with a largo Mock
of tihcop. Ho lost great numbers whllo J
moving through the mid region , ami"
when ho arrived in Washington thu
sheep that still lived were covered
with various skin diseases , says a Medi
cal Luke , Wash. , corrospomlr'it
of the Boston Post. Ono even
ing ns ho was preparing for
an encampment ho got a glimpse ,
through the woods , of a beautiful lake ,
and lie hastened forward to its hhmvs.
The sheep rushed into the water and br-
gan to drink copiously. Ho was MI ) .
more astonished when ho tasted tlm
water and found it bitter and disagn-r
able , as well as dissimilar to anything
ho hud over tasted. Fearing the sheep
would be poisoned ho drove them out of
tlio water , but in spite of his ell'orts thej
returned again.
Tlio sheep were in such a condition
from diticaso that he had small hope of
their recovery , so ho ended by allowing
them to drink what ho believed to 'IK '
poisonous water as plentifully as th--\ .
would. Next day lie could not drive th- - <
'
sheep away from'tho vicinity of theluu
and in a few days more lie was titti-rly
astonished to "lind that his .sheepvro -r-
restored to a wonderfully healthy
condition. Thereupon the French
man thought no had roamed
far enough , and ho fixed himself a home-
sUal beside the shores of the lake. For
long his homo by the lake was n solitude ,
but the shores of that lake today arc the
scenes of busy and thriving industry.
On the Frenchman's ranch tlio town of
Middlebangh is building up , and tins
pioneer Frenchman still lives and n. -
joices that ho was the first-discoverer of .
these wonderful waters which the world X
will hereafter know us Medical lako. > y
wntors contain suits of sodium. . „ J . . ;
potassium , lithium , iron , carbon , ma
nesinm , cnlciuin , ahuniiuiiii , silicon , nd-
pluir , nnd borinm. Tlioy nro eilhi'i' in
combination witli ono another or linked
by oxygon. Thu solution of these
various Malts in the waters of Moilicnl
inko produce results wliich a do/on
yours ago would have been deemed mir
aculous.
Tlio lake covers rather more- than a
thouMind acres , and in places is a _ liun-
dred fathoms ( loop. Its source is tlio
surrounding hilla and mountains , and
periodically it falls and rises. It is sur
rounded on every side by low wooded
hills nnd forms a beautiful and pictures-
quc dark sheet of water embosomed in
rollingwoodlands. . The waters cleaiibo
and feel like water with a .solution of
soap. They taste disagreeable und
nauseous.
I visited the lake for the first time
months ago. I then procured a quariti
of the salt : ) obtained from tlio waters of
( lie lake by an evaporating process.
Some of my journalist friends use Uiem
regularly us a remedy against dyspepsia
or for purifying the blood , and tlioy toll
mo that they are wonderfully beneficial.
A syndicate has already pot hold of
Medical lake. It has erected evaporat
ing and drying establishments for llio
preparation of these wilts and nlso fac
tories for the making of soui > and bottling
tling tlio water of the lako. Hotels are
erecting and the little town of Middle-
baugli is having a veritable boom , iu
the belief that it must become one < v
the health resorts of the world. The
lake is but a do/.en miles or so frou
Spokane Falls. There is a line eonnliM
surrounding U and it enjoys that glorf
OILS Mimmcf climate with which tin
states west of tlio Kooky mountains an
blest. Tlio winters are shorter and fa ,
lesb hovero than you endure in N ov
England.
