Finer weather for the fruit growers' rccon-
tlon yesterday could not have been tind if It
had been made to order. Kvorythlng in con

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

A . ' 'plendld Surgical Operation.
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

A man with Janje , lantern Jaw * nnd a

To those whom liA has acquainted with his

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.

A Serious Charge.
C. F. Adams , familiarly known as "Sandy-
point,1 was rrrosted yesterday afternoon on

Swanson , who keeps a music on Middto

Adams has been doing some hauling for
Swanson for several days past , and in that
time ho has Uocoma pretty familiar

house. Yesterday afternoon all of
the men connected with the store
were out of the room in a few minutes and
Adams was loft alone. When Swanson returned

and some valuable papers were missing from
the sufo. Adams had also disappeared
and Swanson immediately tind a war

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.
Hints on Handling
Having been naked by friends fro-
qucnlly for advice for Ihoir boys in
handling guns. I 'send you a digesl of
same , says a wrilor in Forest nnd
Stream. 'Perhaps , as tlio shooting sea
son will now bo on soon , you might
think thorn worth publication :
1. Empty or loaded , never point a gun
toward yourself or any oilier person.
" . When a-liold carry your gun at the
lialf-coclf. If in cover lol your hand
shield Iho hammers from whipping
I wigs.
! i. When riding from ono shooting
ground lo another , or whenever you
liavo your gun in any conveyance , re-
inovo the cartridges , If a breechloader ,
il being so easy lo replace thoin. If a
mir//.loloador , remove the caps , brush
off the nipples and place a wad on tlio
nipple , lolling down Ihe hummers on
the wads simply removing Iho caps
sometimes leaves n little fulminate on
tlio nipple , and a blow on the hammer
when down discharges it.
1. Never draw a gun toward you by
Iho barrels.
6. More care is necessary in Iho UFO of
i gun in a boat limn elsewhere ; Iho
llmiled space , confined action and un
certain motion making il dangerous at
the best. If possible , no more than two
persons should occupy a boat. Hammur-
, ess guns a re a constan I danger lo persons
boaling.
( ! . Always clean your gun thoroughly
is soon as you return from a day's sport ,
no mailer how tired you fool ; Iho
consequence of Its always being ready is
imple rtiturn for Ihe few minutes irksome
ibor ,

September utimbor of Tlic Engineering
Mrga/.lne , Now Vork , by rolonmn Sel
ler ? , tiio chief engineer. 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. ' > .000 cubic
foot per second has been accepted as re
liable , representing at liltlfeet fall about
1 ,7oM)0 ( ) ( ) oll'rclivo horse power. The
q inmlitv of water in thu great lakes IB
to vast in amount Unit it could bo grad
ually drained olT and foil over the falls
nt thin rate of How without any fresh
biippl.v from rainfall for nt least a
century. 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 ? "
' Oh , it was thirty years ago , Mr. Tjar-
num. T took the lirst prize at your first
baby show ! I've always felt grateful to
you. "

The sidewalks in Havana nro usually
about one foot wide. You balance your
self on the curbstone and walk along as
though walking on a polo fence. About
ovjry second port-on you meet is a
colored woman with u big laundry bis-
kol on her hond. Al lirsl It i.s a little
awkward , but before you have been hero
long you got so you can pass the laundry
woman without knocking the basket oil

you could col a job In most any circus as

the sidewalks are a little better , bill
