NOVEMBER 30, 1889, SLOMINSKL IS REPUDIATED. Ho is Spewed by the Poles, His Al- leged Countrymen. HIS NEGLECT OF A PATIENT, A Polish Editor in Winona Expresses an Opinion of the Arrant FPre- tender, Mountebank and Fraud, Ete,, ite, Slominski'a Friends. Said ono of the Polish eitizens yesterday: “Dr, Slominski is not a Pole. He speaks Polish. We did not know who he was when he first came among us. When we organized our club he throw himself onto us. After n while wo made up our minds that'we did not want him, Ho got to talking about poli- tics and about himself. H ted every family to appoint him as its physician. He wantoed his pay, 85, i advance, and for that amount he would furnish medicine and at- tendance for six months, I think about fifteon of our families have paid him this moncy in advance. Ho could not induceany more, because they did not trust him, “He also talked about building a church for us, but we didn't ask him. He camo into our meetng ono night and threw down $50 on the table and said, “You sce, my brotuers, I can wot money for your church, We know be got it becatise he made some candidate believe he could voto our people at the polls. 1 think he got the money from Sheriff Coburn, Well, wo told him that we did not want his money, and wo refused to tako it. We told him to take it and give it buck to the man from whom he had got it. “I'he othor day I met him at the polls and found that he was for Broatch, Hs wanted 1o sell us out to Broateh, but he couldn’t do it, and when he saw me working against him, he looked as if he could eat me. Wo Dbeut him, auyway, aud 1f Broatch gave him money he just threw so much away, that's all. No, we have uothing to do with him,be- cause ho is a dangerous man. His record having been bad wherever he has been, it must be bad here.” THE CLUB CONDEMNS T, At the last meeting ot the Polish-Ameri- can society, with refercnce to tho charges against und the conduct of Slominski while i this city, the following was adopted: 1. Wo have nothing to do with Dr. Slo- minski because he is not the man he pretends tobe, and we don't suppose that hie is tho man to take the position which he claims to be fit for. The Polish people do not_desire to build & church with the money which is made by election or any other improper way which Dr. Slominski proposed, 2. We also disclaim that the Polish people R0 to the polls like sheep, We follow in the footpriuts of our forefathers who fought for the independence of this country,and we vote only for the men who are worthy of the of- fico to which they aspire, aud who obey the laws of their country. 8. We hope T BEE will no more speak of the Polish people_as being under the guar- dianship of Dr. Slominski, because they aro able to take care of themselyes und because they repudiate Slominski forever. B 5" AND DESERTS A PATIENT, Six weeks ago Joe Balda, the son of Frank Bulda, o laborer residing at 2113 South Tywenty sixth street, fell off a train and broke both his arms. One of the limbs was broken in two places. Slominski was called, and went about setting the fractures. He in- sisted on being paid $75, and endeavored to have the amount paid in advance. The father of the lad objected on the ground that the charge was excessive and that he did not, have money ready It was finally agreea that the doctor would set the arm for $60. ‘I'he noxt day Slominski insisted upon being aid. ‘I'he mother had but little money about er, but gave him $10. This he at first de- chined, remarking insultingly that he would not leave his oftice for §10. He finally ac- cepted the sum, but with anything but a gan- tlomanly demennor. Soon after, he again importuned the father for money and succeeded in getting $20 more from him. The doctor called on the lad when he pleased. He disappointed the father several times and, at length, the lad began to complain that his arm was paining him, ‘This aroused the father fo the danger which his son was incurring of losing his arm, and impelled to call upon Slommski to ex- plain why the latter was not attending to the case, und what was the canse of the sores which were appearing on the arm, and the pain the boy was expericneing, Slominski promised to attend to the case, but failed w0 go to the house at the proper time. e was finally cast aside and another doctor placed 1n charge, It was then found that the arm had not been properly carea for, and that more delay ‘would huve resulted disastrously. Since that time, the new doctor has been in attendance, but the old doctor seemed to be careless as to bow the patient improved so long as he govthe money he wanted. The father is now giad that he was not bled more in advance. A POLISH EDITON SLAPS HIM, ‘When Tue Bes published the first article regarding the mercenary motives and im- moral methods of Dr. Slominski, it attracted the universal attontion of the Polish people of this city. In the city ef Winona there is a Polish paper valled the Wiarus, It is a sheet of in- flucnce and a leading representative of the peoplo of that nationality in that section of the country, To this paper a Polander 1n this ity wrote asking if Tur: BEE'S charges were woll-founded. The editor respondea in effect that he knew him well and that Slominski was a man whom he could not trust; that his di- E:;mm had been shown in Winona to be a gus one; that he had never undergone ex- amination for doctor; that he had been di- vorced from his wife, but had married two more, and that he was a man whom no de- cent man should have anytuing to do with, IN TH o SLUMS, Where Kevs. Mr. Mallory and Mr. Sav:dge Are Workinzg. Dr. Mallory’s nightly meetings in the Dadge street church, between Twelfth and Thirteenth, are doing much good in the way of restoring drinking men to mauhood and usefulness. Dr. Muliory is greatly helped by bis daughter, Mrs. Culvert, who 1s u rine organist and a sweet singer of stir- ring gospel music. Christian ople of Omaha are requested to encouroge these meetings in every ‘lolllbl& way. The leaders claim that a work is being done that caunot ‘weoll bo carried on by the churches. Outside efforts are being made as well as within the little church, On Thanksgiving d.{ Pastor Savidge of tho People's churcl and Dr. Mallory made a tour through the sa- i ited 8 number of the si § oy talked with the Doys an learned & great many things about the By of drinkiug men which they never kuew before. Among others it is said that Dbibulous unfortunau are iu a great many cases, first-rate fellows &t bottom, as Carlyle would say; and not & few declared that, at one time, they had been members of churches.

Referring to the insanity of Charles H Hendricks, formerly a resident of this city, mention of whick was made in Wednesaay'’s Be, the following excerpt and comment are taken from the Free Press of Troy, Mo., and the Courier of Louisiana, Mo. THE EXPECTED HAPPENS, . Charles H. Heundricks is in jail at this place with his mind considerably off balance. His parents live at Tamaqus, Penn,, and his father is said to be a first_cousin of the late Thomas A. Hendricks. The unfortunate man claims that he has been ia this part of the stato since last July. He says he was put off the Short Line train at idgewood several weeks ago and was badly hurt by zhe trainmen, but this may only be & vagary of his mind, He wentto the home of a cousin, William Hendricks, ~ some weeks ago aund from there to the home of a brother of the latter in Montgomery county. Last Sunday morning he left the latter place and came to ‘Cruxton, whenco he was brought to Troy by James Cape 1n order to have a legal nvestigation made. A tele- gram was sent to his home in Pennsylvania ‘fuesday evening, but up to this time no reply has been received to it. He is about thirty-two vears old and 18 apparently both a refined and well educated gentleman. It is probable that his mind can be speedily re- stored unaer proper treatment.—Troy (Mo.) Free Pross, y At the meeting of the county court Mon- day Mr. Hendricks was aeclared insane snd ordered held in jail one week to await the action of bis relatives. Mr. Hendricks cauie in from Omaha this summer on & visit to rel- atives 1n this county, and all who came in contact with him were impressed with the fact that his mind was becoming gradually unbalanced.

TREES IN PARIS, How the Supply 18 Maintainod—The Work in Charge of 216 M Those who are familiar th tho trees on the Paris bonlevards will be interested in learning how their sup- ply is maintained, in a recent nrticlo on that subject in Galignini.

The sav of the cow Lree, as its name implies, resembles milk, both in looks and taste. A slight balsamic tas been reported by some nutu ists have drank of the strange liquid wise it was said to ‘‘have the fiavor of rich cream and to be very wholesome and nourishng.” The tree itself frequently attains a height of one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five feet, it not being un- usual to see a trunk of this species seventy to eighty feet, perfectly smooth and without a limb. A hole bored into or a wound made in the bark of this wonderful tree is almost immediately filled with a lacteal-like fAuid, which continues to flow for some days, or until it coagulates at the mouth of the wound and forms a waxy mass, which stops further flow.

Noris it a holiday. scheme to get the trade—but it is as advertised, to close the retail depart- ment of our jewelry business which we have been desirous of doing for many months, and having failed to find a cus- tomer to purchase the stock entire, and to put the stock in- to our wholesale department not being feasible, we have. determined upon an auction sale of our entire stock of dia- monds, fancy goods, art goods, and all.
