The police have arrived at the conclusion
that the note found In a bottle floating In
IHg lake announcing that the body of John
lluiuoii win conccalctl somewhere In the
mud and sedges of the rice swamp Is a
hoax not worth Investigating. In no place
Is the water In the lake over three feet
deep. Unless a man should make an heroic
attempt to kill hliusolf and choae other
means than drowning he would have dif
ficulty In finding stimclcnt water to povcr
his body. With the exception of a few air
holes the lake Is covered with Ice and men
ami boys hunting aic dolly passing all
over It , and an object as conspicuous as the
body of-a man would not have escaped their
observation If It had been there.
The mystery surrounding the disappear

on December 10 with $150 In his pocket ,
expecting to deposit the money and return
to the farm on the same day. A day or
two elapsed without anything being heard
from him , and the Spctmans fearing that
something had happened to him notified
the police. Ills friends In the country were
very anxious about him , and made frequent
inquiries , but received no tidings.

The family of Clark Patton were com
pelled to call a police ofllccr to their home ,
at 2000 Fourth avenue , last evening for the
purpose of taking Mr. P'atton Into custody.
During the evening ho became violently In
sane. The members of the family and
neighbors endeavored to restrain him , but
wcro unable to do so. His mania , partook
of a suicidal nature , and It was deemed nec
essary to lock him up to prevent a possl-
blo tragedy. Ho was taken to the city jail
In the patrol wagon. City Physician Trey-
nor examined him , nnd made an order for
his admission Into St. Bernard's hospital.
His friends hope that a few days' restraint
and treatment will restore his reason.
Patton has lived In the city for sixteen
years , and has a largo family. Ho Is 51
years old. For many years ho has been en
gaged on a freight platform at the Union
depot. He lost his place nearly a year ago ,
and has been without work since , and It Is
to the worry and anxiety of this period that
his friends attribute his mental breakdown.
You can buy n $2.00 tie for 50c , at Hughes'

tion to his skill as a carver * In wood , diplo
mas showing him to bo a graduate physician
In both regular and homeopathic schools.
Ho came to Omaha a year ago last Novem
ber , and strangely enough complains be-
cauie hla business la not better. Dut the
ground nt his complaint Is not that more
people do not gii out and have a leg or arm
amputated , Ho says there are enough of
those unfortunates now , but they have no
money with which to pay for an artificial
limb.
"We carry no stock on hand , " he told a
lice reporter , "because no two pctaons are
alike , and a limb made to fit one person
would probably fit no one else In the world.
I made u limb , for n man one time , and before -
fore ho had an opportunity to come and get
It he died. There WPS nothing to do with
thn result of my labo-j but to puflt on the
shelf and trust to luck. After seventeen
years a man came In one day who wanted
a targaln In an artificial leg. He hail little
money to pay , an was not particular about
the fit , so I patched up the one 1 had been
carrying In the shop , and sold It to htm ,
" \Vo make limbs out of English willow and
aluminum , The latter ccsta about twice as
much as the former , and the only extra merit
It has Is In the lightness. The willow comes
to us In rough hewn blocks about two feet
Ion ? , round , and aleut elx Inches In diameter.
They have the appearance of being care
fully prepared logs for a fireplace , and have
a hole bored Into one end that the timber
may season evenly to avoid cracking.
"It takes on an average of twelve daya to
build a leg , as all the work Is done by
hand. After * taking thd measurement of the
person to be fitted , work on the limb Is
begun , commencing at the top. There are
joints put In at the knee , ankle , and In
case of a wooden foot , also at the toes. We
sometimes make the forepart of the foot
of rubber , which forms Its own joint. There
la but one spring In an artificial leg , and
that la placed about midway between the
knee and ankle , and Is used to operate the
foot , to prevent the tors striking/ / the ground
In taking a step. The knee joint Is HO con
structed1 that It operates Itself. ,
"It may not he generally kno.wn , but one
who loses a limb must learn to walk again
after securing an artificial member. The
shock of amputation so deaden * the nerves
operating the limb that the subject lo.-ico
control of them temporarily. After the
artificial limb 1ms been fitted , the patient
must -practice some time Ucforu being able
to control the ncrvra of the body sufficiently
to properly swing his nc\A leg. 'Where both
legs have been lost , this ( lllafulty Is not
so great , becatisti there Is a balancing effect
In the deadening of the nerves on both shirs
of the body.
"Artificial arms are not of so. much prac
tical use as the legs , yet they are made to
do n good deal of work. Here Is a hand In
which every Joint of the flngcrB Is repre
sented , as Is also the one at Xho wrist. This
hand can be put In any , position In which
the natural hand could bo placed. " And
with that the anatomical mechanic pro
ceeded to close and open the hand after the
manner of the real article. In doing this ,
of course. It was necessary for him to use
one of his own hands. He then showed how
artificial arms and hands were provided with
appliances whereby a knife , fork or spoon
could bo attached for use as required.
"The making of artificial limbs Is not n
trade , " said the operator , "but an art. One , ,
must have a faculty for carving wood In
correct Imitation of the original article. As
an evidence that it Is an art the proprietors
of this building will not allow me to dis
play a case down stairs containing sam
ples of wooden legs made by me because
It might be Immodest. "

Acting under Instructions from the city
council , Milk Inspector Carroll last week
visited the restaurants and obtained sam
ples of milk furnished patrons for the pur
pose of testing the fluid. Four samples
taken from N street restaurants wcro tested
for butter fat yesterday by the inspector ,
and found to bo way below standard. Milk
from one place showed one-half of 1 per
cent , two samples showed 2 per cent of
butter fat and the" fourth 2'/4 per cent.
Three per cent of butter fat Is considered
the standard , and all milk showing less
than th.it Is adulterated. The waiters In
one of the places admitted to the Inspector
that when the supply became low It waa
customary to pour In water. AH milk
served at the restaurants examined was
skim milk , and even then It Is watered In
emergency cases. Inspector Carroll men
tioned this matter of watering the milk to
the proprietors of the restaurants , but they
denied all knowledge of what the waiters
do when the supply of milk runs low.

In this city now being assisted by the
county. This Is for the purpose of protect

Indigent persons who are receiving aid from
the county will not bo assisted by the city
authorities. Since about December 1 only
three persons have received aid from the
city without working on the streets for or
ders on the stores for supplies. Two of
these persons thus helped 'were ' women , and
were not expected to do 'any 'work In return
for the provisions furnished. '
Mr. Vansant last month' ilbtlced that sev

for work In order to obtnliv'provlslons , and
upon Investigating ho found that these people
ple were working the city 'for ' more than
they needed , and had sUiic'e'tided In laying
up quite a store of provla'loifts. This Is not

The council committee , composed of

some tlmo ago to Investigate the necessity
of dividing the First ward , has not yet
made n report , and It Is not known when
one will be made. The talk of dividing
the ward has died out within the past few
weeks , and possibly nothing will come of
the matter. A petition with over 100 sig
natures was sent to the council , asking
that the ward be divided , Twenty-fourth
street to bo the dividing line. Those who
oppose the scheme say that the division
would add unnecessary expense to the tax
payers , nnd that eight councllmcn are
enough to transact all of the city's busi

Letters are being sent out by the pastors
of the cl y Itvltlng contributions of $1 or
more In ort'cr to secure n fund of not Icso
than $100 to be used In relieving destitution.
The ministers assert that many of the do-
.serving poor In the city have too much self-
respect to ask aid from the county or city ,
and It la tils clasn of people the churches ,
or more cotiectly speaking , this association
of pastors , Intend caring for. Instead of n
charity ball , which Involves a great deal
of labor nnd expense , It has been thought
better to ask a uniform contribution of $1.
The aim Is to so distribute the burden that
all can bear It nnd at the same tlmo pro
vide for the necessities of the unfortunate.

as yet arrived In the city , John P. Irish of

E. V. Smnlley of St. Paul bflng the most
prominent of those already here. The ma
jority of the delegates , which It Is thought
will number -100 , will arrive tomorrow.
It la almost a settled cuncluslon that a
commission shall be created by the con
vention , whoso duty It will be to submit a
final plan to congress and urge Its adoption
by that body. Differences of opinion cvist
as to whether this commission shall give
extended hearing to various plans for re
forming the currency system or shai'l draw
up what It considers wise without much
waste of time. Whether any free and full
decision of finance will transpire In the con
ference also remains an unsettled th'lng , as
a few delegates favor placing the whole sub
ject tn the commission's hands with as lllte
dobalo as possible. The general feeling Is
that It will not avail much to urge financial
reform on the spring session of congress ,
owing to the tariff 'legislation having the
right of way.
