BEAUTIFUL SHOWING OF FRUITS , Wlmt the Company Saw On Its Drive Through the Country At Dinner and at tlio AS cell UK. Finer weather for the fruit growers' rccon- tlon yesterday could not have been tind if It had been made to order. Kvorythlng in con nection with the entertainment was in keep ing with the weather , and the consequence ' .vas the entertainers and entertained were alike highly nlcascil. The vlsllors arrived from Olonwood over the Burlington nt ( i0 : : ! in the morning and wcro met by cltl/.ons In carriages.

F. Wllcox and L. A. Casper and back to the city. Thu country showed Itself to thobostpossl- ble advantage , with the fruit trees bending to the earth under the red and yellow loads thit seemed likely to break off the urauchos , and the grape vines literally groaning with the purplu fruit that made the mouths of the beholders water. Many wcro heard to remark that they had never had any idea what an enormous quantity of fruit Is raised In this county. At the close of the ride the party went to the Grand hotel with appetites as big as the nine-pound radish that was brought in to the exhibit by Farmer Jamo-t Kainbow of Silver Creek Townshin.

Ono of Iho most dllllctilt , if not the most dangerous , operations that surgery attempts , was successfully and brllllnnt.lv performed nt the Council Bluffs and Omaha Medical and Surgical Institute on Lower Broadway in Council Bluffs Thursday afternoon. It Involved the excision of a portion of the bones of Iho lower maxllary process and Iho scraping of Ihc adjoining bonoy Htrucluro. The patient was Mr. Barkhlll of Osceola , Nob. , a man over f > 0 years old and not in very ruirged health. For several years ho has been buffering from a cancer on Iho lower lip. Local physlclons had Irled in vain lo stop Iho malignant growth nnd lust winter - tor he came down to Omaha and had a surgical operation performed. II was not properly done and the ulcer continued in progress until it had involved In decay all the front portion of Iho lower jaw. H was Ihis diseased portion that was cut away , and the man given as It were a now chin and lowei jaw lo commence life with again. The operation and the t'-eiitmont of the pa tient before nnd after ho passed under tlio surgeon's Mauds is a splendid illus tration of Iho triumphs of mod ern surgorv aided by tlio wise administration of medicines and intelligent sanitary euro nnd skilled nursing. Mr. Barnes came to the institute two weeks after il was de cided that only a surgical operation could stop the ravages of the disease and save his life. Tlio case was studied de liberately and intelligently and every peculiarity of mind and body noted until Iho physicians and surgeons became llioroughly acquainted with his condi tion. Surrounded by tlio best sanitary conditions and properly dieted , the two weeks time was devoted to preparing him for Iho surgical opuraliou. The improve ment was so marked under the medical and sanitary treatment that the malig nant ulcer , which was very offensive when he llrtt came to the instilulo , rapIdly - Idly healed and the patient was almost led to believe thai ho could got well without a resort to the knife. But the surgeons know otherwise , that the re moval of the diseased bone was tlio last resort. Surgery of the past would have taken the man from his farm and placed him nn the table and cul away tlio diseased portion without any further preparation than'was necessary to ar range the instruments , and whether he got well or not would depend largely upon the man himself. But surgery iis practiced at the Medical and Surgical institulo leaves nothing lo chance and insures favorable results by the most careful preparations. The immediate preparations for Iho operation were also careful and elaborate and in marked contrast with the old practice. Tlie operation was begun at It o'clock , but the woik ot preparing tlio operating room was commenced in the early morn ing. The institute isprovided with two operating rooms , ono fet cases of minor surgery and the other for capital op- orations. It was in the latler room where Iho splendid surgical work was done on Thu rsdny. It is a largo airy room with hard finished and polished ( loot- and walls , and apparently it would only lake a few momonls lo put it in order , but for hours before portions of it were scrubbed and cleansed with antiseptic preparations composed largely of bi chloride of mercury in proportions of two parts to U,000 or water and 10 per cent preparations of car bolic acid. All the instruments and sponges used were cleansed with the same preparations , and all bandages , lint , etc. , wore steamed for hours before use. This is esteemed to be of prime importance in modern surgery , as tlio least carlcssnosb or neglect might per mit the entrance of poisoning germs into the surgical wound and cause dangerous if not fatal compli cations. When everything was ready for tlio operation the room wns what Dr. Bellinger is proud of , tlio most thor oughly antiseptic operating room in the west. The operation was performed by Dr. P. Bellinger , assisted by Dr. M. J. Bellinger and tlio three other physi cians who constitute the regular hospi tal corps , besides the matron , Mrs. Stevenson , and her atlendanls. All were robed in long white gowns freshly washed and ironed. Even the two newspaper men who witnessed tlio operation were obliged lo remove their coals and don Iho robes , surgeons inexorably insisting upon re moving Iho faintest possibility of an or ganic germ being introduced in tlio room by Ihomediiimshipof Iho clothing. In a few minutes the patient was anes- thi/.cd and the operation bogun. It was rapidly and skillfully performed , but more than an hour passed before the last slilch was taken in closing tlio wound. Although nearly the entire bonoy structure had boon taken away , vet Iho adjoining sound bone and lis'suro had been so skillfully drawn together that the man had boon given a vorilablo now chin , not so bvraotrical as Iho original perhaps bul "much more desir able. Ho recovered from Iho shock very quickly , and was taken to one of the hospital wards whore ho was placed under the cure of a physician and nurse who watched him attentively all night. Yesterday ho was silling up and discus sing Iho probability of going to his homo in two woeics. The above case , although ofsulllcienl importance to bo reported in medical journals , is only ono of Iho many that occur almost every day in the institute. The institute people are anxious to got hold of cases like this which other phy- smns have pronounced incurable and soul the sufferer away lo die. If Ihoy cannot cure him ho must surely abandon hope. The institute now comprises all the splendid equipments of the Omaha Med ical Instilulo , formerly conducted by Dr. J. W. McMonamy at Ninth and Harnoy streets , ana all the business and all the contracts of the old institute- are now being taken euro of at Iho Council Bluffs institution. Tlio building is now , cloun and neat , the sanitary con ditions absolutely perfect and everything lirsl class. Nalur.illv associated with the idea of a medical and biirglcal inslituto is Uie Impression that il is a place where the blood Hews constantly from gaping wounds , wlioro there are great arrays of bright , ra/.or- edged Instruments , surrounded by chairs and devices that seem to sylla ble the word "torture" in croaks and groans , but no such Impression can follow a visit to Ihls Institute. It is as pleasant and homelike as an apart- niont holol , and everything suggests nlil nnd comfort to the sick and maimed. The brace department is the most ox- ton slvo in the world , and It Is under the charge of the best brace makers living. All braces are made to fit the pitiont and patients are not forced into lilting the braco. _ II IH Wllo Want i It Ail. A man with Janje , lantern Jaw * nnd a ifttidy moustache has bcou lying around tbo city for several day * , past on a ray.stonous errand the naluro of. i which was known to but fow. ; * To those whom liA has acquainted with his designs he hat statediethat hu lives In Iho eastern part of tL'otlaw.iltamlo county and there Is a woman lu Ins caso. Ho was married In thlsi.clty to a woman whoso narrio was Hagfforlyj hbout n year anil n half ago , and they went'to-Walnut to live , ho being the owner of a farm of HX ) acres there Previous to her marvlago the woman had not bcon all she should Imvo bcon , and a prcvl ous husband of ! iorilmv lives In this city 01 Avoiuio A. After1 Her marriage she re formed but for n shnrttlmo , when she began lo go the downward < rend again , At last a separation , took place and the woman came to this dly , whouco she ? ont her husband Ihreatonlng loiters as to what might bo expected If ho aid not plank down all thu cash she wanted. She throatnnud to scud an ofllcor down and sell his shoap and cows whenever she was In need of a lltllo spending money , and she oven went BO far as lo threaten to have his farm sold oil * from under Ids fnct nnd take the pro ceeds , Mio not being satisfied with Iho usua dower Inloicst of one-third. The husband is llioroughly trlghtoncd by her threats , and his present orraud Is to Induce the woman to come to some agreement by which ho tnaj depend upon having a slice ot thu estate , of which beforu his mirrlugo ho though ho was full owner. Passers-by have noticed the couple In close consultation m Baylcss p.irn night after night for the past week , ana considerable speculation has been caused by their queer actions. The man In the case Is stopping at thu residence of John Troutman on South Sixth street and spends his days and nights doing the umatuur detective act. It took money to got it , but city water was needed to make Morningsido per feet , so wo hail to have it. Now citj water can bo had on every lot at same rales as in any purtof the city. It costs money to build a tnllo of brick street pavement , but the bcsl resilience- - addi tion in a city of Ibis size tnusl have paved slreots , so the pavement has been ordered and will bo put in as soon as it can bo done. Everything has been done , is doing and will bo done to make Morn- ingsido Iho place to live , Bul while much has been done nnd more will bo done in tlio way of improvements by man , the grottiest part of the work of maklnir Morningsido a splendid place to live was done by nature. The houses are all modern and new , and some of them very bo'iutiful in do- sign. They have all been built within a year and as many more will probably be built in the next year. You cannot find a better , cleaner neighborhood any where than Morningsido , and it is a most beautiful place naturally. Go east on Broadway to Frank street.

The l hilian .Minister. WASHINGTON , D. C. . Sept. 5. Senor Don Prudoncio La/ Cano , the Chilian minister to the United States , has given up the house which hu has occupied hero for some tlmo , and accompanied by hh wife , left thu city this afternoon for New Vork. It is believed ho is on his way to Europo. What IH Kitiicutinii ? Now York Lodger : In order to bo successful in active life a man must have a working knowledge of three things : 1. Human natura 2. The practices in vogue among his neighbors. 3. Logic. Whatever study or mental exorcise or discipline teaches him Iho most regard ing these matters is Ihe bust practical education. This praclical oducition must be supplemented by special train ing in the prerequisites of that par ticular vocation in life which he is to follow. Other things being equal , a largo school or college affords a bettor educa tion than a small one , fotho reason that it gives to each student a largot opportunity to observe human . . aiir and.tho customs of his neighbors. The more information obtained by studying text books is in itself ordinarily of very little value compared with the whotling which it gives to the mind , and when tlio omind is once sharpened it should bo so turned as to learn from tlio world of today , if the student wishes to bo in Iho world and of Hie world. Should ho show a fondness for sluying polilics and a wisli to enter public life , a comprehension of American democracy is of more value lo him than a knowledge oJ Athenian dem ocracy. Should ho decide to enter busi ness , .knowledge of human naluro and business practices is of equal consequence with logical niooty of calculation an important result of studying the classics however valuable the last may bo. This fact explains why il is that those valedictorians who do not join in the general life of their college class and who devote themselves entirely to the text books , are frequently outstripped in public life , law and business by class mates who stood a grade or two lower in scholarship. Those latter give a portion tion of time to observing their environ ment , while valedictorians of tlio kind mentioned lake all Ihoir views from books , and are consequently loss self- reliant.

Tlio paper Is olivlmrutoly illustrated , tind makes nn exceedingly interesting contribution to the litornturo of that subject. In the course of Ills paper , Mr. Sellers says : Among the various * gauging1' that have been made of the quantity of water that Hews over the fall * , 1 > ( J.

In other words , it would take , with a leakage of JH.'i.OOO .cubic feet o water per second at ro-.s the rocky barf rier , 100 y ars to drain the upper lakes , were such n course possible. The out- How of the lake basin is about half of its rainfall , and the volume of witter in the lakes , including Lake Ontario , is thought to bo about 0,000 cubic miles Homing Outing : The greatest distance cov ered by n homing pigeon i.s 1,0. > 0 miles , between Montgomery , Ala. , and Fall Kiver , Mass. But although trial after trial liiii been made to exceed this dis tance , this year is the lir&t sinen the record was made that eastern birds have been sent such a great distance , and it is believed they will return from it not that they are bolter than others : , but .they huvo n bettor course. Last year two birds owned in Philadelphia wore liberated in Pensaeola , which lies to the south of Pollard , and on their being ropo'-ted from several stopping places it was possible to outline their course. At evening of the day of sta'rtiug they stopped at a farm house near the southeast border of Tennes see , in tlio most eastern valley in the mountain range. They caino "from tlio northeast , and next morning took wing to the .southwest. This , by the di rection and time that had elapsed since the start , would Indicate that they hud agreed with each other that they wor upon the wrong course and wore return ing to make a now beginning. When next reported they wore in the valley to the east , bnt further north. One bird hafl been shot and the other escaped. That other was next heard from as stop ping for the night upon the other side of the mountains and still further to the north , and within a day's journey of home. Tlio bird's wings had been cut before it was discovered that they wore marked , and it was later on caught by some animal and c irried awav. The bird to got from the place where its mate was shot must have returned at least to Georgia , as the mountains between were too high for it to have passed them on wing. _ A Grateful Alan. On nn Atlantic steamer bound for Now York , u few years t'.go , the usual entertainment for the benefit of the Liv erpool Seaman's Orphanage was pro jected. There happened to bo on board a good many "professional" actors and singers who all promised to take part except ono , says Pearson s Weekly , llo kept aloof , and stubbornly declined to assist. As ho was the person mot > desired , every otl'ort was made to change his mind , and the committee of arrange ments at last applied to Mr. Barnum ( who was a passenger ) , and bogged .him to labor with the reluctant singer. Mr. Barnuin undertook the mission , and after stating the case and making his appeal , somewhat to Ins surprise the young man at once assented. . "I refused all thoio people , " said ho , "and 1 dislike exceedingly to take part in this sort of entertainment ; but if you ask mo , Mr. Barnum , 1 cannot decline. I am gladto ] do any tiling that will please you. " Mr. Barnum felt much complimented , hut protested a little , when the man continued : "You did mo a great favor once , Mr. Barnuin , ind I have never forgotten it. You may not recall it , hut I am under great obligations to you. " "Why ? " hesitated the great show man ; ' [ must confess that I don't re call I don't remember any cirouin- htanco ; and yet your face is familiar. Whore was it wo mot ?
