SAVED MARK TWAIN'S LIFE
Vat Dr. Meredith a Good Man
and Meant Well, "ays Mr.
Clemens.
In the autloblography with which Mark
Twain la enlivening the North American
lieview the public haa Just been Introduced
to a hitherto unknown benefactor, lilt
name la or wa Meredith, and he was a
country doctor In the Missouri village of
Florida, where Mark Twain was a boy.
According to the autobiography medical
attendance then cost next to nothing, for
the doctor worked by the year $1$ for the
whole family.
"I remember two of the doctors," taye
Twuln. "Chowning and Meredith. They
not only tended tbe entire family for $- a
year, but furrtlshed the medicines them
selves. CJood measure, too. Only the
largest persona could hold a whole dose.
Castor oil was the principal beverage. The
dose was half a dipperfil, with half a
dlpperful of New Orleans molasses added
to help It down and make It taste good.
which It never did.
"The next standby was calomel; the next,
rhubarb, and tho next. Jalap. Then they
bled the putlent and put mustard plasters
n him. It was a dreadful system, and yet
.he death rate was not heavy. The calomel
was nearly sure to salivate the patient
and cost him some of his teeth.
"There were no dentists. When teeth
became touched with decay or were other
wise ailing the doctor knew of hut one
thing to do; tin fetched his tongs and
drugged them out. If the Jaw remained It
was not his fault.
"Doctors were not called In cases of
ordinary Illness; the family's grandmother
attendod to those. Kvery old woman was
a doctor and gathered her own medicine!
In the woods and knew how to compound
doses that would stir the vitals of a cast
Iron dog.
"And then there was the Indian doctor,
a grave savage, remnant of his tribe, deeply
read In the mysteries of nnture and the
secret properties of herbs, and most back
woodsmen had hhfh fulth in his powers and
could tell of wonderful cures achieved by
Mm.
"In Mauritius, away off yonder In the
solitudes of the Indian ocean, there Is a
person who answers to our Indian doctor
of the old times. He Is a negro, and has
had no teaching as a doctor, yet there Is
one disease which he Is master of and can
cure, and the doctors can't. They send for
hltn when they have a case.
"It Is a child's disease of a strange and
deadly sort, and the negro cures it with a
herb medicine which he makes himself
from a prescription which has come down
to him from his father and grandfather
He will not let anyone see It. He keep
the secret of Its components to himself, and
It Is feared that he will die without d'
vulgtng It; then there will be consternation
In Mauritius. I was told these things by
the people there In ISM.
"We had the faith d K-tor. too, In those
early days a woman. Her specialty was
toothache. She was a farmer s old wife,
and lived Ave miles from Hannibal. She
would lay her hand on the patient's Jaw
and aay 'Relieve,' and the cure was prompt.
Mrs I'tterback. I remember her very well.
Twice I rode out thers behind my mother,
horseback, and saw the cure performed.
My mother waa the patient.
"Or. Meredith removed to Hannibal by
and by sjid was our family physician there,
and saved my life several times. Still, he
was a good man and meant well. Let It

"I was always told that I was a sickly
and precarious and tiresome and uncer

medicines during the first seven years cf
my life. I ssked my mother about this In
her old age she was in her SSth year and

"I suppose that during all that tima you

The legal department of the South Omaha
city government took up una of the in
junction cases before Judge Hodkk's
court yesterday morning. This was the
; case of Klchards against the City of South
Omaha to prevent the grading of an alley
between Twenty-second and Twenty-third
I streets and between L and J. All of the
1 points In the controversy were legal and
! related to the matter of procedure and the
I case was submitted on argument. Little
evidence was Introduced aside from the
' statement of the faacts In the caau. The
I case was taken under advisement and a
j decision Is looked for Saturday.
The city attorney has made arrangements
with the county attorney and Judge Troup
of the criminal bench to set aside the bal
ance of the week after Tuesday next for
. the hearing of all cases which have been
! appealed from the South Omaha police
I court. One of these Is that of Joseph Lln
I kowskl for the sale of liquor on Sunday.
I There are about ten other cases to be tried.
It appears that It was the expectation of
i the counsel for the defense that the cases
j would be dropped after the appeal was
J taken, but the city attorney hopes to con
j vlnce the public that all such cases will
be pushed. The bondsmen in these rases
will be notified they are expected to see
. that the men for whom they entered as
surety appear or be prepared to pay their
bond. The legU department Is anticipating
further action on the fouth Omaha sewer
matter.

I As to his experiences during his travels
he expressed himself as glad that he had

Mr. Phillips, a tea dealer, reported to the
police last night the loss of a horse and
buggy which he had hired from Wescott's
livery. He hired the rig during the evening
and drove to Thirty-sixth and U streets.

him out of the notion, for I knew there
must be something outlandish In the shape
of his cranium, and was afraid he would
get angry, but he wouldn't be Jollied, so
at last I measured him, and of all the
shapes you ever saw that was about the

Trick Sometimes Hesorted to In Order
to Cause a Creditor

As a rule nobody will refuse any kind
of good money In payment of a debt,
though there are some kinds more con
venient than others. Pennies are legal : per hanging at reduced prices. Estimates
tender, but It would take a quart of them
to pay a bill of any considerable sue.
It sometimes happens that Just to be dis
obliging and to cause the creditor Incon
venience the debtor pays In pennies.

pennies are not legal tender to that
amount. The minor coins of the I'nited
States are determined by statute to be
"a 6-cent piece" A United States statute
says: "The minor coins of the United
States shall be of legal tender at their
nominal value for any amount not ex
ceeding 25 cents In any one re.vuient."
The creditor ran take them by the car
load if he wishes, but refusing to ta"H
them In sums over 25 cents at a time will
not enable the creditor to sat up the claim
of a tender, nor will it Invalidate the
creditor's right to collect. These tactics
are seldom resorted to and only to create
Inconvenience. The United States statutes
are cot much studied by laymen, and o
this point Is not generally understood.
Of the minor coins only the 6-cent piece,
or nickel, are in any considerable circu
lation. The 3-cent piece has gone out of

John IMimore of Altoona, Pa., the Inven

In his cobbler s shop and his home would
not bring IJOo on the black, has within his
grasp millions of dollars, and possesses the
power. If exerted by men shrewder than
himself, to restrict the coal output of the
I'nlted States and so decrease lis value
Although the Pennsylvania railroad pro
fosses Indifference, It is understood that a
s'cret uneasiness prevails, for if Kllmore s
discovery coin's into ue the present price
of bituminous coal cannot I maintained.
Without any knowledge of chemistry and
so Illiterate that he Is compelled to seek
assistance In writing to drug houses for his
Ingredients. Etlnmre haa succeeded ir. pro
ducing a compound which revtvlrtea or re
creates lbs combustible sisiitcuta la com
mon coal ashes, at the same time creating
a heat of greater Intensity than that
evolved from the highest grade of soft coal
when fanned by a forced draft. A corre
spondent saw this demonstrated In
an ordinary cellar furnace, where six parts
of coal ashes and one part of coal, all
saturated with the cobbler's mysterious so
lution, produced a white, hot fire, whose
caloric heat was more Intense after It had
been burning two hours than It was at the
end of the first hour.
Two teusponnf uls of FUmore's compound
costing X cents, and dissolved In three
gallons of water. Is sufficient to treat three
quarters of a ton of ashes mixed with one
(jarter of a ton of coal, and will bring out
more heat and evolve It for a lonijer period
than one ton of pure coal, bituminous or
unthrarite. The big freight mogul on the
Pennsylvania road use a ton an hour run
ning on the level and six tons an hour run
ning up grade. This could be cut down
from 9i to 75 per cent, and the steam
generating power Increased from 20 to ?5
per cent by the shoemaker s discovery.
