KING ALCOHOL ROUTED A Buro Cure for Inebriety Reducing the Ranks of Drunkards. THE STORY OF THE INEBRIATE'S MECCA. Dwight, 111, the Ecene of Marvelons Res- toration of Body and Mind, BI-CHLORIDE OF GOLD; ITS GRAND WORK, An Omaha Man's Fxperience with Drink, and His Wonder/ul Cure, NO EXCUSE FOR A DRUNKARL, NOWADAYS, Drunkenness, Habits Cured Without Prohibition Morphine and Opium Orations Happiness in Reach of AlL True Temperance and UT on the prairie, soventy-thice miles from Chicago, lies the little town of Dwiht, but a few years ago o homel uninteresting village, now the Mecca of hundreds of the vic tims of alcohol and opium, and the one plico in the world for which thousands of women's prayers ascond daily. At Dwight is established the Keeloy insti- tute for the curoof drink disoascs, opium and kindred habits, and there Dr. Keeley, the discoverer of the bi-chloride of gold specific s daily making strong, ful men out of sodden, dise than uscless drunlards. It seems an ineredible thing 1o m that a man can be 50 thoroughly self-respectiug, use ced und worse ny peoplo 1of his i drunkenness as Lo abnor the thought of whisky. That he can look with pity upon his former companions who are still follow ing the ignus-fatuus of alcoholic mental elevation (which ends in the depths of mental depression), and that he can look upon life with nope, sceing nothing ancad but huppiuess and the oppor tunity for retreiving a miserable past. Those people who remember their drunken acquaintunce as a creawure of very weak clay, who laugned at or pitied the vacillating mind, who despised his thriftlessness demned his weakness as a vice, ure sarprised toseo him return from Dwight a nealth being, from whose look u calm intelli- genco and whoso self-respect parrics the old- time laughing tolerance with which he was wont to be greeted, Many well meaning people who, from early education aud a lack ol progressive thought, still look upon drunkenness merely as a vice which can bo cured only by long-winded tem- perance crusades, prayers and statutory pro- nibition, will learn much and make their of- forts really usefui by becoming acquainted with Dr. ‘Keeloy’s methods and bis great specific. The experience of drinking men fs much tho same. Tho man of experionce in the world knows that the men who fall to the pit of drunkenness are usually the whole- souled, generous, soft-hearted fellows who are in love with life, who crave compun- tonship and who drift from mere conviviality nto discase before they arenware of it But this does ot mean that every whole-souted gonorous man becomes a drunkard, merely that & hard, grasping, unsympathotic man uas not the clements within him to take the first steps on the road. The kind, lovable boy who first drinks mild alcoholic mixt- ares for the fun of it and the rollicking com- punionsbip of it, is usually the drunkard of aftor life, of whom iv is said pityingly: “It's wo bad he drinksso, he vscd’to be such a nice, smart fellow.” For this reason, I con- tend that in nino cases out of ten, drunken- ness is not the result of natural vicious te dencies, but a discaso stavted for fun and su- perinduced by years of moderato drinking, tke victim awakening some day to the fact Lhat alcohol has become a discase stronger than duty, stronger than the love of mother, wife or children, ‘The world has long beon in the habit of looking upon consumption, smallpox and othor well known maladies 'us the scourges of mankind, and the efforts of science huve boen constantly turned toward alleviating them. Druukenness, the greatest and oldest of all scourges, bas been treated as a vice and r\mlshm‘ as such and has gone on in- creasing until it has got to be such a com- monvlaco thing as to attract hardly any attention except from those coming directly In communication with it. If cases of small- pox, @ not necessarily fatal discase, were s common us cases of the alcoholic diseuso and 0o effort wus made to cure them, or if well- meaning people eudeavored to curo them only with orntions aud prayers, thero would bo i howl that would reach from New York to San Francisco.

But returning prosperity brought back friends and conviviality and for a num. ber of yeurs it was o see-suw. This was the Nrst stages of drunkenness, but I did not kinow it.

It is me gathering of what Dr. Keeloy calls “God’s unfortuzates,” come togethe to be cured of a disease which has blighted their lives. The men live whore thoy elioss in hotels or boarding houses, and in_ a stylo best suited to their purses. Four tunes a day they come together utthe doctor’s ofce for hypodermic treatment, which the mea call the “shot,” and during waking hours they take the medicine 1nternally every two hours, Otherwise their time {s_their own, and they amuse themselve they please. The cotntry cannot show 1350 bIAge of men than step up to the doctor’s oftice four times a day. Among them are men whose names aro_known all over the coun- try. ‘There are millionaires, lawyers, news- paper men, merchants, politicians, clerks, farmers, doctors and mechanics. Opio P Read, the author and humorist, remarked oue duy as he glanced along the line: “If a man would stay here long enough, ho would meet every good fetlow in the coun- try.” Whether 1t is tho medicine, the en- vironment or tho Bond of sympathy that exists between the men.

One - case in mind is that of Dr. W. H. Jonnings, of New York, who arrived at Dwight in a semi- idiotic stute and whose a was 100 grains of morphine and oue pint of raw alcobol a day. o was cured in course of time and is now in New York retreiving his practi I have seen men brought thers in raving dc litium and in a fow days have held vleasant conversation with them on a variety of subjects. If they want to get cases that Dr. Kceley cannot cure they will have to dig themup outof the ceme- teries, On Dr. Keeley’s staff are several physicians who are ex-patients, and who are as learned a body of men as peactico in any city in the country. They understand from expericnce the nafure of the cases they haudle, and it 1s worthy of record that since the institution has opened not one nan has died from the ef- fects of his disease or tho treatment, T'ne morphine and opium nhabits are cured as readily as alcoholism, The worst cises that go to Dwight aro the morphine men Some of chem are completo wrecks —morally wmentally and_poysicinly, but. they are. il cured. "In over five thousana cases curad by Dr. Keeley only b per cent of tho men have gone back to dissipation, and these were very young men who had not got over thinking {hat 1y was “smaet” to got dranke and whe had not suffered the awful consequences of drunkenness, or men who were of unsound mind. Dr. Keeley does not guaran- tee to put brains ang morals into a man, but ne does agree to relieve him of his appetite for liquor and restore him physicaily, aud if @ man relapscs arter that it is through pure “cussedness.’” Tho treatment is absolutely harmiess and o maw’s physical conditiou whilo at. Dwight is looked after us fully as if he were in tho best hospital.

They all scem 1o haveé been pumped full of fresh new blood. TUE BI-CHLORIDE OF GOLD CLUE Last March one of the most remarkable clubs in tho world was founded at Dwight, Alittle body of wen used to meet soveral times & dav in the blacksmith shop of the villaze “smithy,” u character named Billy Weeso, whoso well water was the best in town, and there take our medicine at the pre seribed time. Weese ad a howely, hearty way of talking to a new and despondent man that usually brought him to seo that there was something to live for, and as a story teller and a recounter of “truc lies,” Lo beat some of the professionals who used to sit avout his forge and swap with him. Some of the patiouts had a habit of sitting about the hotels telling stale and morbid stories in which baa whisky, snakes and blue monkeys figured extensively,and this we determed to break up if possible. So the Bi-Chlovide of Gold club “was born, and “Major’ Sam Moore of Pittsburg, Pa., us ho was affection- ately called, was elocted the first president, “Major'” Moore was just the man o start infant industry of that kind, and bis ener, in discouraging whisky stories and providine unique amusements for the man was su, tuhe club soon grew out of it dling clothes in the blacksmith shop and arrived at the dignity of a constitution and by-laws, minutes and new club rooms, Now the club numbers over five hundved men, scattered all over the Unitod States. all of whom are carnest in their endeavor to raise men from the depths of drunkenness and despair to a placo beside themselves. This s temperance work iu its truest sonse. Last week a branch of the Bi-Chloride of Gold club was orgauized in Chicago with sixty members as a starter, and with the gonial and big-hearted Opie Kead in the chwir. Other members will join rapidly, and 8 5001 48 men arvive from Dwight they will beallowed to enter. Tho purpose of the club is to establish funds to send worthy men to Dwight, loaning thew money to pay their expenses, which, when returned, is loaned to others. A nuinber of wealthy gen- tlomen in Chicago have offored to intrust the club with funds for this purpose. Phe mem- bers of the club wear & badge, a fac- simile of which is the initial lettor 10 this article, and tholr good work is boing folt in many quarters. Many a arunkard 1s now seeing light ahead of him and tasting tho joys of lifo because of the iuterost taken i, him by one of the brotherhood. The motto of the club is the fourth commandment of Budda, as translated by Sir Edwin Arnold in his “Light of Asia," and is singularly ap- propriate. It was suggested by the latw~ Dr, Sen Millor, of Chicago. & lamented membor of tho club) and is as follows “Sbun drugs, shun drink which work the Wils abuse, hoads, cloan” bodies uoed mo Soma alce.” DR, KELLEY'S PERSONALITY, Clear The discoverer of the bi-chloride of gold OMAHA DAILY remadios is a man of greit phvsieal and mon tai foree, Heis whout fifty-two years of age, over six feet 1n height, broal shoulderod and vowerfully built.

Dr. Losilo I3, Koeloy was brought up with the same views, was edu cated as a physician and bas been a regular practitioner all his tife. Ho was appointed by the Chicago & Alton vailroad as their first railroad surgeon, and was, in fact, the first physician so appointed in the United States. For & number of years after the discovery of the remedy s p tients for drunkcaness and the opi habit were few, as ho hus never advertised his romedy, and it is only through the vol tary publication of tueir cures by grateful nts in their desire that others might be benefited, and through the interest which Hon.

On Wednesday evening the distinguished visitor was entertained at the club by Grand Commander Korty, Severai of the officers of the grand commandery were present avd the affair was o very cnjoyable ono, About 8 o'clock tho entice party procceded to the asylum of Mt. Calvary commandery in I'rec mason's hall, where a short reception was held. A large number of Sir Knights were present and speech-making was in- dulged in to some extent,atter which refresh- ments wero served, Hon. George W.

The publication in these columns, three weoks ago, of some of the dotails of the solidation of three of the principsl Knights of Pythias lodges i this city has oceasioned con- a great deal of comment. Members of the ordor who are yenorally very chary about giving voice to their opinions have had no hesitancy in expressing themselves as heartily astamed of the spirit which has character- ized the entire proceedings. It has been Jearncd that a majority of the oficers of Oriole lodge, including tho acting chancellor commander, sizued a memorial to the grand chancellor protesting against_ the seizing of the charter of that lodge, This protest was presented tothoe grand chancelior but no notice was takeo of it and no answer returned. A member of the order, whose standing is unquestionable aud who has taken a grea interest in everythine pertaining Lo the order, summerized tho sithution about as follows A vesolution was pissed by Oriole lodge, and also by Mt. Shasta and Franklin lodges, providiug for the anpointmont of a committes of threo from cach lodge to form n new lodge, after which tho three loiges were to con solidate with the uew lodge. It was supposed that the committees would report progress to their respective lodges. The chancellor commander of Oriole lodge formed one of the committee from that lodge. After the passage of this resolution by Oriole lodge 1o meeting of that lodge wis held and no report was made to the lodge by the committee, “The memoer above refered to as after stating these facts, continued 16 whole transaction ‘was illegal, 1. Because, by a legal quibble, the operators of the scheme huve defeated the plain intent of the L wiich requires! that, when a eousotida- tion takes place, one lodge shall/ rétain its name and number, “2. Cards were illogally grantea to mem- bers of Oriole lodge who did not apply in person or in writing at a regular meetiui for their cards and in at least ove case, a card was eranted a_member who was neither present nor applied for his card and who refused to accept it. Cards were also_issued to the members of the committee of three from Oriole lodee including oue to the chan- cellor commander who was a member of the committee, when these members had not ap- plied for their cards, they being issued on the strength of the resolution providing for the committee. Atlowing that the cards were legally granted, the memoers who accepted them therepy severed their connection with Oriole lodge and could not legally act as a commit- tee of that lodge. 4. Iiven admitting that the whole thing was dono legally, it shows a spirit of unfai ness between brothers, as no chance wus given members to express Lheir desire, which, while not required by law, would seein to bo dgictated by that spirit of brotherly love which is supposed to dominate the breast of every Pythian. By the witadrawal of the chancelior com- mander for the purpose of forming a new lodge, the lodge was left in chavge of the vice chancellor, who was responsible for the pr crty, and 'especially for the charter. cnarter of the loded was deliberately stolen, Who stole it [ don’t pretend to say, but the grand chancellor clums to have it in bis pos- Session, “Stili another noint—the numbor given to Priune lodge, 5, beionged to a lodge at Nio- brara at the last session of the erand lodge If that lodge is defunct, it has died during tho past year.
