Home of them were embow ered in sunllowers and cat-tails and others were decorated exclusively with mammoth cornstalliH The effect was very ploasine. People should not overlook the fact when choosing material to decorate that it is a crowd of farmers coming , and the article's that will attract the most favorable atten tion will bo the grains , grasses and food plants produced here. However esthetic in themselves nml beautiful ir combination , too many cat-tail tings and sun ( lowers might create the Impression that such things are the rhlef product of our soil. There is noth ing handsomer and cheaper than green eora- htnlks , and a building decorated with the mammoth product of the Puttawattamio fields will present a tine appearance and create a very favoiablo Impression.

REED RETURNS FROM WASHINGTON. l'or lv s IllH Hri-ln W IIV A- Oolil Mining Company Incut- porntetl CJiMH'i'iil nnd I'er- Notes. Yesterday morning at : iIO : ! o'clock Mrs. ,1. 13. Metcalf , who runs a well known resort a short distance beyond the city limits east of town Known as the "Grove , " was awakened by a slight nolso In liar room. When she roused up she was confronted by three men , with hats pulled down closely over thelroyes mid the remainder of their faces concealed by handkerchiefs. Hoforo she could speak ono of the men advanced to her bod.ddo and commanded her to hand over all the money she bad In the house. Instead of complying with the demand she ivuclied under her jiillow , where she kept a revolver , and flashed the weapon in the f 'How's face. The shot missed him and he leaned forward and pressed bis ownpistol to her head , but before ho could tire it she seized the muzzle with both hands. A desperate struggle ensued , during which the live shots In the burglar's revolver were discharged , but none of them struck tbo woman. Ono plowed through her hair and made a slight wound on the scalp and two othciTi went through her night clothes. When the ulioutimr commenced the other two men left the room , apparently for the purpose of faking euro of any otlr'r of the In mates that were about the building. John Metcalf , tlio husband , is away from homo , and it happened that besides Mrs. Mctcalt and ono girl thu only other par-ion about the place was the woman's old father , a white- haired old man. very feeble and iiilli'in. Ilo was sleeping upstairs , and was awakened by the firing. Hi ; got up ami came tottering down the st.'ps , and in the hallway was met by ono of the burglars , who op > ned lire upon him. Two shots were lired. and thu old man fell to the floor. Ily this time Mrs. Metcalf had been overcome and disarmed , and was placed under guard of one of the men while the othen searched the house for valuables. Mrs. Metcalf was threatened a number of times with instant dfath if she did not reveal the hiding place of her money but with a masked rufthin bending over her and a re volver pressed against tier temple she stead fastly refused to give tip her wealth. The girl upstairs had locked the door of her room and was a willing prisoner , and the old man still lay where he had fallen.Vhile the ono burglar stood guard over Mrs. Metcalf the others broke open every drawer , trunk , box and secret place In the house and were re warded by ( hiding the moiioy that wits con cealed. In one place they obtained 110 In 10 hills , in another ? ) 15 In & " > bills , and about ? . " > 7 la gold and silver from another placo. They then returned to Mrs. Metcalf's bed room and searched the bed , and.were re warded by llndingu little jeuel casket con taining some valuable diamonds , including a sot of earrings and a breastpin ami some un set gems. The burglar , who had reached under the woman's jilllow and found the gems , was In tently examining his prize and the pistol that hud been held within a few inches of her face was lowered for an instant. The woman sprang nt him and tore the mask from his face , obtaining a good look into his coun tenance before ho could prevent it. She thinks she recognized him , but is not sure. The men then left the house nnd Mrs. Mot- calf arose and went to her father , whom she supposed to have been killed or mortally wounded. The old man hnd only fainted and recovered consciousness as Ills daughter reached his side. As soon as a team could bo hitched up Mrs. Metcalf nnd her father started to drive to town to report the mutter to the police. They had only gone a short distance when they were lired upon by some persons con cealed In the brusn by the ro.ulsido. Two shots were fired , but like all the others , went wide of the mark. The woman then returned to the house and waited until lUylight. rfho reached town about 7 o'clock and told the above story to the police witn some variations which could bo readily overlooked when the terrible experience of the night is taken Into consideration. The woman places her loss nt about ? 400 , outside of the diamonds , whicli she says uro very valuable. Immediately after acquainting the police of Council Uluffs with the facts of the robbery Mrs. Metealf went over to Oinuhiijanil told Chief Kcnvcy her story and also secured the assistance of a private detective. The job was evidently done by some one well ac quainted with the premises , and tha woman has put the police in possession of some facts which may bo the means of identifying the burglars. If the parlies who robbed my house will return my satchel with papers and jewelry , or leave them where I can get them , no questions will bo asked and they can keep the money. Mil" . J. E.

The train , backing , VIM not going at a great r.ito of speed , but is the caw came together the projecting him- > er crushed the switehui'iu's bead against he side of the box oar. The fact that he did lot step out after coupling the cms iroused the fears of his fellow work- lien and on repairing t ° tuo ceno they found their recently Joyous com- ado mutilated heyoml recognition.

Assistant County Attorney Strode has re ceived a letter from a prominent citizen of DoWitt telling of what Is believed to ho u cunningly planned and attempted abduction of little Maud Koss , the fourteen-year-old flrl , who caused the issuance of a warrant for the arrest on the charge of criminal as sault ofV. . H. KieUard , the Justice of the icncu , who Is lying In Jail hero for ruining iirctty Mary Marford the suicide. Itisbo- ieved that an attempt is being made to got the girl out of the way. Maud is a pretty girl of fourteen and claims Lo bo tin orphan. I or some time she has been making a living by working in Crowe's hotel. A day or two since a man of medium height nnd bushy black whiskers , and who gave the iiumo of Eustls , came to DcAVitt , necom- | i.mled by Hlckard's attorney. Knstis claimed that the girl was his daughter , and that he had been looking for her for a long time. The astonished 'irl Indignantly denied that the fellow was lior father , and she declared that she had novcr scon him before. An attempt was made to force her to go with them , but she raised such a disturbance that friends inter fered and released the frightened girl from the suspiciously acting fellows. The event has created intense excitement In Do U'itt , as the girl had always borne u ; rood reputation , and much sympathy has boon expressed for her , and it is believed by many that the present move was nothing moro than a villainous plot to got the unfor tunate girl out of the way so that she could not testify ngainst Kicknrd. Eustis is said to live between Ilorchcster and Friend , in Saline county. His story would have looked inoro probable bad ho not appeared on the scene with. Klekard's attor ney. This alone is sufficient to awaken distrust while the persistence - enco and suspicious actions of the follow made the friends of tlio girl bellevo that she was the victim of a conspiracy. The people of DeWItt made it so hot for the precious pair that they wore glad to get out of town. ' A JAIL , limn r.sc.u'i : . R. L.

Those face n corridor , at cither end of which are grated doors. Some of these cells needed re pairing nnd Jailor Domes commenced to lift the boards from tlio top of one of the vacant cells , preparatory to replacing them. From this Jackson learned that if ho could pry up the boards on top ho could get out. While the Jailor was out in the yard after a supplv of fresh lumber the young burglar did this and then hid la the vacant cell next to the door which was open.

During the past six years , ato'ich session of the state legislature there have been elforts made to enact moro stringent laws governing the practice of medicine in Nebraska , but it is claimed the law Is far from being satisfactory to the legitimate praclitlonoM of the state and probably notstrict enough for the protec tion of the public. The recent prosecution of the so-called quack doctors in Omaha has naturally brought this ( picstiun of a st.ito law govern ing the practice ofmediclno prominently to the front and doubtless stimulates thobo who deslro a morn stringent law to prepare for the introduction of a bill for this purpose at the next session of the legislature. The law n's it exists simply provides that all prac ticing physicians shall register in the olllce of the county clerk of the county where they in tend to practice ami give the name of the col lege from which they have a cortillcato or diploma or any other tottlmoninU or creden tials which may show that they have a log.il right to practice mo.licino. U also provides a penalty In case thu registration is false , bat then ) Is no provision niailt for an actual ex amination by any authorise 1 nar.son either of the alleged diplomas or certmoatos claimed by those registering or as to the acliiul ability ot the parties , It Is claimed by many of the best practitioner * in the cltv that parties have registered In Omaha giving the mimes of colleges as their alum mater that do not nnd never hivvu existed , and yet the law does not make It the duty of any ono in par ticular to expose tills fraud. JnthUpartlculur.it Is claimed by some of the bout physicians uf the cltv , that the laws of Nebraska uro decidedly weak. A remedy is suggested bv the following Interviews : Dr. CJInn I have not taken any part In the prosecution of the so-called quuck doctors of Omaha for the rcttioii that I have not bad any faith In that method of procedure. Tlio present law U such that any elforts ut tbo jnwi-utioii of quicks and ini- jiosters will sliupli a'nouiit to an advertise ment for them ami a deal of vt'xutluu to those who jiuih the jiro.orutlon. When wn get the proper legal regulations in Nebraska 1 bball bo us willing ua imy ono to assist lu the en forcement of the law and the driving oilt of qua ok cry , "What would you suggest in the neceisary legal reputation deslrabio for tills state ! " "What we should have Is n state board ol medical examiners , before whom all medical practitioners must p.iH before Ivlng pc r milted to practice. Our present reghtiM- tlon law imMiint.s to nothing. Aintiniivr place his name on tlio 11 > c and refer to unv college In the country us i , alma mater and who Is to'know whijthert telling the truth or a falsehood ) I would suggest a state hoard of medical examiners composed of able men , well known nnd schol arly practitioners who would compel every man desiring to jir.ictlco In Nebraska to pass n strict examination. When ttmt Is done tbo quacks nnd humbugs will quit thobusiness In this state. " Ur. Hnnchett Thorn Is hut one remoily for the present evil that I can suggest. That It a state board of medical examiners , \\'e have tried several times during the past six years to have n bill passed authorizing tlio appointment of such aboard , but the efforts have boon frustrated bv the disagreement of the two schools of medicine as to the number of homu'omthisH that won ? to bo upon the board. The old school physicians have not been willing to grant in anything like an even dlvi-don of the board , anil we have held that we should have nl least three on a board of eight. I bt-liovo that there should bo a hoard uf eight with , say , four uloiiathlsts. three hoinu'op.ithists an'd one ei'lectlc. There are able men in nil three schools and I bellevo that oaeli school should decide upon the ability of the applicants of that persuasion. It would be absurd tohiivean allopath examine a lioimi'opath in the nmterin niedlen or vice versa. In surgery , obstetrics and sueli de partments the examination , of course , could bo the sumo for all.Venre working very har moniously hero in Omaha now , and 1 have hopes that a satisfactory understanding may be reached this winter by which the repre sentatives of the three schools may formu late a bill that will puss the legislature and become a law , giving us a state board of health or medical examiners.Ve have twenty-live hoimeopathU : physicians In Oriiilin and four hundred In Nebraska , and 1 think wo have a right to demand a liberal representation oif the hoard. lr. ) llosewater 1 bjlievo thai what wi nced Is u state board of medical examiners before whom every practitioner in the stale of Nebraska should pass at least oneo every llvo years. This boinl : is not merely neces- snry fora llrst examination of applicantsbut for subsequent examinations every live year * iis long as the man continues or desires to practice. The idea that because a man stands a good examination today ho will bo found as capable IK o or ten years hence Is a mistake. There are now methods being discovered nnd utili/cd every year in the medical world and the man who settles down to a humdrum practice is llublo to fall behind. It would bo an excellent tiling to have every man engaged in the practice ot medicine brush up at least once in live year- , by attending n. course of lectures at some llr.st class medical college , where ho would como in contact with tlio latest and best thought of the day and the leading specialist in tbo different departments of medical science. "Yes , I am very much in favor of the ap pointment of a board of medical examiners Here is the Minnesota law , for Instance which is an excellent arrangement , mu. wmch provides for the appointment by th governor of a hoard of nine members , two 01 which are to bo selected from the Hoiuu-opa- thlsts. I would favor giving the Iloiiiiuopa- thlsts of Nebraska representation on tin hoard In jn-oportion to the number of physi cians there are of that school. 1 bellevo'ef forts will bo made this winter to juss a bill for the appointment of a .state board of niedi cal examiners. The present prosecution of the so-called quacks in Omaha will , 1 think , have one good effect. It will keep out many impostors who might como here If it was not for this agitation.
