Craving IlNiii ] | cnr In Tliroo .H anil AlooliollHin Entirely Conquered In 'I'llrco to J-'our l3rAin , Nob. , May 30. [ Spoclnt Corro- npondonro of Tim HUB.--From ] the days of .Solomon and before , the evils of oxcosslvo drinking have been admllted , and deplored , nnd denounced. Its accompaniments Of rod oyoa , ( [ uatrnls , ovll conversation , Idleness , poverty , lechery and murder have served as themes for reformer and satirist. In these Inttor days another evil equally Rreat , If not greater , has spruit ? up In the use of thn various narcotir poisons. The dis covery of olhor , chloroform , morphine , co caine , and so forth , and their extensive use ns anaesthetics have led to Iho formation of habits still moro disastrous , physically , mor ally , mentally nnd socially. To these may ho tuldod the old but universal use of tobacco in ono form or another. These agencies to- gnthur beyond question have done much to induce that high-strung i.orvous condition so characteristic ol Iho modern civlll/.ed nations , especially of Americans. This nervous strain nnd excitability i.s more to bo deplored as being potontlalbf greater ill than any indl- ' vldual suffering or degradation. Above nil , Unit fatal Infatuation which lends those who have suffered hiost to say , "When shall I awakol I will seek It yet again 1" That miserable craving for n ' hair of the dog that bit them" has been the curbO of the subjects of this vice. Many means have been tried , and an Im mensity of talent and time lo say nothing of money has been dedicated to the remedy of this ovll. Philanthropists of both sexes , of every shndo of religious and political belief , inls-boliuf and unbuliof , have used argument , denunciation , exhortation , encouragement , nil that comes under the head of moral " .sua sion , " only to find that conviction aud con version failed to effect reformation. Their proteges have sobtrod up ; but , after a longer or shorter timo-generally shorter the Indi vidual who bad declared his unalterable de termination to "Throw down the bottle , And never drink again , " has turned up , wild-eyed nnd foul-mouthed , to Ho and Matter and invoiglo. If possible , his frioml Into disbursing tlie price of a drink. 'I'lio vast majority endured for awhile and then wont back to their old haunts and ways nnd seamed to seek , by deeper degradation and wilder debauchery , to maUo up for their temporary abstinence. They asserted lhat they were driven to this by an Incontrollablo nnd devilish thirst. Those uho coiniuercd bore out the statement. John B. Gough was wont to lull , and Francis Murphy stilt tells , how bitter was the tight and how long and thorny the way back to sobriety and health. In order to give the victims a chance to ro- gnln th < Ir prlstino virtue , Inebriate homes were established. In tlieso , surrounded by watchful guardians , cared for physically , mentally and morally with unremitting ten derness ; kept from external tcmiplulion. they were encouraged and supported in their strug gle. But this , too , proved in a largo measure , n failure. The patlouts bribed attendants , 'Intrigued with furnishers of supplies , broke bounds and by every secret meanness ob tained intoxicants. Of these discharged as cured many relapse when again thrown in contact with the world. Discouraged by thcso experiences the friends of the fallen changed the ground of battle and began a struggle for legislative prohibition of the trnfllc. Pity for tlio "poor drunkard" and abuse of the "rnmseller" took equal parts in tompcranco elocutionary ef forts. In some cases success was achieved ; some stales onacloj prohibitory laws ; moro gave facilities for local prohibition. But , given a man iu whom every consideration of morality nnd self-respect is subordinate to the desire to gratify a raging thirst ; given another man In whom such considerations nro all subordinate to the desire to till his purse ; given. In the third place , a public al most Insanely Jealous of Inturferonco with In dividual liberty , and it is easily scon that prohibitory legislation , however desirable , will bo very difllcult lo enact aud still moro ditllcult to enforce. Medical men have beou for a long time tel ling us that this craving for intoxicants is a disease , but have never boon able to find a reme'dy which would work a per manent euro. They have boon able to rehabilitate the nerves nnd re establish the health ; but they have not been llo to eradicate the appetite. The Kooloy treatment off eels Justthis thing. Iho writer spoke this day with n patient who had undergone the treatment ut Dwigbt , III. U'his gentleman said that ho was ono of an Knclish family in which moderate Indul gence in alcoholics was nn ordinary custom , tind from his crudla ho had never been longer than eight months without liquor. That eight months was ono continuous tight. Ho had by degrees sunk into u moro sot. Not n saloon bummorordoadboat ho had too much ceoi ) , honr.it , workingtmui's blood in him for that but a man who would do anything tor whisky , truthful o very whcro else , ho would llo for whisk vhonnst ; every where oU > o , ho would steal whisky. Ho hud it about his work shop ; ho had it iu the outhouses round homo ; ho drunk It last thing before retiring , nnd getup up in the middle of Iho night to drink it. Ilotng nu honest man , ho bec.una alarmed at himself , but "could not help drinking. " lloiiiu- informed of this treatment , ho deter mined to try it. After two weeks of homo treatment , ho wont to thu institute for twelve days. Ho said , "I have 1:0 : doubt 1 could drink whisky If I tried , but I do not want to. It would eo against mo. 1 am , hotter physically and mentally ; can do more work and road to better purpose than I ever could. " This man Is opnosed to any In terference from outside. " 1 would have had the liquor wherever It might bo and by whatever method I had to got it. " But ho wants neither saloons nor liquor now. This Is the common sense view of the mat- tor. Attack a physical ovll by phvslc-.il means ; destroy the appetite for intoxicants nnd the trade will perish of Inanition. There nro other men lu Blair nnd some notable ones In Missouri Valley who boar testimony to these sumo facts. A company has been formed lu Blair for tlio purpose of treating inebriates on this system. Tbo town affords a most suitable place for the Institute , The trca-shadud lUroots , splendid water supply , good drainage nml pleasant surroundings make it a v _ jiloasaul resort at nay timo.

The jiliyslclun In charge anil secretary were prus- ent and williuKh-told all they know about Iho system. U'-o ' thing they did not know the composition of the medicine. The main ingredient Is cblorldo of gold , but the vehicle in which thntdruir Is convoyed Is the secret of Dr. Uojlio U. Kcoloy. All the medlctiiu used in the branch Institutes comas directly from him. The Blair company holds the ex clusive right to administer the treatment In Nebraska. \Vo found that no restraint , espionage or supervision , whalover , Is considered uoces- nary , except in cases of delirium tromeus. Patients may uhooso their own boarding place , their own company and their own oc cupation. Certain arrangements have been miulo with reputable persons to board thu pa tients from f i a week upwards , but there H no obligation to take thcso boarding places.

The only condition made and thl.i , like the law of tlio .MediM and Persians , ulturoth not Is that they present themselves four times a any at stated hours to receive a hypodermic Injection of the solution , nnd shall every two hours when awake take u small dosu of an other modlclnu furnlahod In a tlasU conven ient for pocket carriage , "Is there any deleterious effect on the phy sique as a sequel to this treatment I" wo us lied. "Noao whatever , . The medicine eliminates the poison of the narcotics from the system and builds up the strength. " "How long i oos It tuko to effect a cure !

NOTES ON HIS WONDERFUL CAREER. Soloist Wlillo Yet a Hey IIIn Triumphs in America JosofTy and Caiii- imniiii An American Contralto. The most notable musical event of the near future in Omaha will bo the Theodore Thomas concerts next Wednesday afternoon and evening at the Coliseum. Tno people of Omaha are looking forward with much ex pectancy to the event. As a musical conductor Mr. Thomas has long boon recognized as bqlng the peer of any other In this country or Europe , and his splendid aggregation of superior musicians cannot fall to present a programme that will bo highly pleasing and delightfully profitable to every lever of high grade music. The orchestra which Mr. Thomas employs is composed entirely of superior artists who have boon for some time playing to the tlmo of his billon and are thoroughly drilled. Theodore Thomas is aa American In every thing but birth. Ho was born la the King dom ot Hanover In ISIS. His father was n violinist at Kscns , Hanover , nnd from him Theodore received his musical education , When ho was only six years old ho played the violin at public concerts. In IS 15 , Iho family came to Now York , and hero ho was occa sionally brought forward as a boy violinist. Kvon at this time ho applied himself with as much dovotlon to the sclentitlu branches of his art as to his practice. Ho was still a lad when ho jo.ned the or chestra of the Italian opera , and was only llftoon when Hencdlct made him llr.rt violin in the line orchestra selected to accompany Jenny Llud In her earliest American con ' certs' When sixteen ho made a tour through the south as a solo violinist , and was after ward lirst violin in the opera companies of which Sontag , Grlsi , Marie and Jenny LI ml were tlio loaning stars. Ho traveled with Tlmiberg ana ether eminent artists , and for several seasons when but little more than twenty years of ago , conducted botn the Italian and Gorman oporas. ICprly In the 'UOs ho concolvoa the Idea of a permanent orchestra composed of material that could bo trained fur any music. Ho se lected subjects from the young German mu sicians from the Berlin mid Loipslo conserva tories who were then coming in numbers to this couuntrv. In IMKI his now orchestra was ready. That summer ho gave concerts at the Terrace garden , near Central park. Thev wore an immediate success. The youth and consequent ductility of his players , and their excellent education to begin with , had enabled Mr. Thomas to bring thorn to a de gree of unity nnd ilnlsh Impossible with the older and loss cultivated material of his lirst orchestra. Ho hud also learned discipline. Ho was as strict with his boys its n drillmas- tor. The summer concerts were followed by symphony concerts at Irving hall ( luring the wlntor. Mr. Thomas maintained his orchestra for seven years and took It to every largo city In the country. The west orn trip was a wretched llnanciai failure. Hut Mr. Thomas then laid the foundations of his present fill no as a great conductor. Cltios which at tbo time left him on the verge of bankruptcy have Hinei' atoned by every form of popular appreciation. > Ills latest novel undertaking was hU directorship of Mrs. Thurbor's American opera company. The tremendous orchestra and great band of sincere with which ho gave "Lohengrin , " "Tho Flying Dutchman , " "Orpheus , " "Tho Taming Of the Shrew" aud "Nero" uro still fiu > h In the minds of the music-loving public The enterprise was a monetary failure , but the Important cities of the country were treated to a festival of opera such as rarely has boon heard In auy country. Mr. Thomas stands a colossal 11 euro lu the history of music In America. Ho has run through the whole gamut of musical practice and holds nn exceptional position. Now York. .hroiiKli his efforts , can point to a rec ord which no city in the world can surpass.

Ono of the Principal Actors Tells Something About It. Captain Yeoman , who delivered the ora- tloc at Hauscom park yesterday afternoon , bears the honorable distinction of having been one of the chlof actors in the capture of the late Jefferson Davis , the president of the southern confederacy. Captain Yeoman was found at bis hotel last night , and upon bring pressed for the story , yielded and talked upon the , nt that time , important event. Early In May , 1S05 , It was reported nt array headquarters that Davis had deserted his stronghold , takca all of the specie that ho could gather aud with a guard of his most trusty men was rapidly moving toward the gulf. It was at once determined to intercept him , and for this purpose Captain Yeoman , then twenty-two years of age , and inspector general of Alexander's ' brigade , volunteered his services. They were accepted , and pick ing thirty-thri'O men , on May ! l ho loft camp and rode into the enemy's countrv. Humid ' his men were all droaso'd in rebel uniforms and riding horses branded "U. S. " The next morning they re-ached a point twenty miles from Washington , Ga. , whore Davis and his cabinet bad rested. This fact was ascertained nnd dispatches were sent hack to Colonel Ilurdln of the First Wiscon sin and Colonel 1'ritchard of tbo Fourth Michigan cavalry , who nt once started out and later captured Davis , bag and baggage. At Groensborough , Ga. , Captain Yeoman had n narrow escape. Most of his men had been loft in the woods , mid as the little party of live or six were riding up the principal street of the town a rebel olllcer cried out , "I'll bet $1,001) ) those fallows are d d Yan kees. " For na Instant Captain Yomnan and his men thought thnv were in for it , but a young fellow from the Seventh Ohio loaned over In his saddle and ycllod In response , "I'll bet $1.000 you nn ) a d-d liar. " This raised a laugh and the men were allowed to pass on undisturbed. A few hours Inter after the command had got together It came in contact with a large command of the enemy. Yeoman wat halted and questioned. Ho Informed the olllcur of the rebel command that ho was n liuutennnt In the Klghth Kentucky regiment. As It happened , the officer had a brother in that regiment nnd Insisted upon Yeoman giving the name of the man. llo could not do that , but explained the reason by stating that fora month or moro he , Yeoman , had boon gunrd- inir deserters and negroes. The robots till In sisted on knowing something about the brother , nnd Yooimm seeing that the game was about up , resorted to a bold bluff and , becoming angry , replied : "I am In the army t } tight and not to learn the names of all the men In tbo llne.'j. " The rebel o&cor was crestfallen and allowed his man to ride away. At another time while the little squad was riding through a rebel camp , u soldier in gray noticing the horses wuro all branded "U. S. , " cried out to a comrade , "Thoso fellows from Kentucky are dandles , See , they have captured a whole company of Lincoln's cnvulry horses. " Any number of similar exploits and adventures were re counted. Oa May 10 , Captain Yeoman began to retrace - trace his steps , knowing that ho baa pur- formed the work no had undertaken. Ho had located the whereabouts of Davis nnd had furnished thn information to Hnrdln and I'ritcharu , who had .surprised and captured - turod him. For doing this work , congress voted him Sa.uiXl , at.cl by many he was re garded the chlof actor in tbo capture. Cicrmany and Austria's liKitus , May W.
