Every member of the company is & star, althougn, | } of course, Patti Rosa is the brightest star of the lot. The play is a brand new one, and Jast night was its initial perforinance. It ran along without a hitch, however, from be- ginning to end. Indications point to a successful year in theatrical matters. A large number of at- tractions have been booked, and among them | are some of the best companies on the stage, Next Wednesday Thomas W, Keene will ap- pear in “Richard ITL" and Council Bluffs eople will have the first opportunity for a | ang timo of hearing the Shakespearean drama played by one of the first actors of the age. —— A Splendid Surgical Operation One of the most difficult, if not the most dangerous, operations that sur, attempts, was successfully and brillinntly performed at the Council Bluffs and Omaha Medical and Surgical institute on Lower Broadway in Council Bluffs duy afternoon. It involved the sion” of a portion of the bones the lower maxilary process and scraping of the adjoining The patient was Mr n over 50 years old and not in very rugged heaith, For several yoars he” has been suffering from a cancer on the lower lip. Local physicions had tried in vain to stop the malignant growth and last win- the boney structure, Barkhill of Osceola, Neb,, a m ter he came down to Omaha and had a surgical operation performed, It was not properly done and the uleer continued in progress until it had involved in decay all the front portion of the lower jaw. It was this diseased portion that was cut away, and the man given as it were n new chin and lower Jaw to commence life with again, The operation and the treatment of the pa- tient before and ufter he passed under the surgeon’s hands is a splendid itlus- tration of the triumphs of mod- ern surgery aided by the wise administration of medicines and intelligent sanitary care and skilled nursing. Mr. Barn, came to the institute two weeks after it was de- cided that only a surgical operation could stop the ravages of the disease and save his life. The case was studied de- liberatoly and intelligently and every peculiavity of mind and body noted until the physicians and surgeons became thoroughly acquainted with his condi- tion. Surrounded by the best sanitavy conditions and properly dieted, the 1wo weeks time was devoted to preparing him for the surgical operation. The improve- ment was so marked under tho medical and sanitary treatment that the malig- nant ulcer,” which was very offensive when he first came to the institute, rap- idly healed and the patient was almost led to belie that he could got well without a resort to the knife. But the surgeons knew otherwise, that the moval of the diseased bone was the las resort. Surgery of the past would have taken the man from his farm and placed him on the table and cut away the 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 himseif. But surgery as practiced at the Medical and Surgical institute leaves nothing to chance and insures favorabie results by the most careful preparations. The immediate preparations for the operation were also eareful nd elaborate and in marked contrast with the old practice. The operation was begun at 3 o’clock, but the work of preparing the operating room was commenced in the early movn- ing. The institute is.provided with two operating rooms, one for cases of minor sur y and the other for capital op- erations. It was inthe latter room where the splendid surgical work wus done on Thursday. Tt is a large airy room with hard finished and polished floor and walls, and apparently it would only take a few moments to put 1t in order, but for hours before portions of it were serubbed and cleansed with antiseptic prepurations composed lurgely of bi- chloride of mercury in proportions of two parts to 2000 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., were steamed for hours before ust This is esteemed to be of prime importance in modern surgery, as the least carlessness or neglect might per- mit the entrance of poisonin germs into the surgical wound and cause dangerous if not fatal compli- cations. When everything was ready for the operation the room was what Dr, Bellinger is proud of, the most tho oughly antiseptic operating room in the west. ~ The operation was performed by Dr. P. Bellinger, assisted by Dr. M Bellinger und the three other cinns who constitute the regular hosp tul corps, besides the matron, Mrs, Stevenson, and her attendants, All were robed in long white gowns freshly washed uand ironed. Even the ~ two newspaper men who witnessed the operation were obliged to vemove their coats and don the robes, surgeons inexovably insisting upon re- moving the faintest possibility of an or- wanic germ being introduced in the room by the mediumship of the elothing. Ina few minutes the patient was ane: thized and the operation begun. 1t was rapidly and skillfully pecformed, but more than an hour passed before the Inst stitch was taken in closing the wound. Although nearly the entire boney structure had been taken away, yet the adjoining sound bone and tissure iad been so skillfully drawn tog that the man had been given a ve new chin, not so symetrical as the ;:iunl”pcl‘]mps but ‘much more desir- 0 able. He recovered from the shock very quickly, and was taken toono of the hospital wards wheve he was placed under the eave of a physician and nurse who watched him attentively all night. Yesterduy he was sitting up and discus- sing the” probability of going to his home in two weens. The above case, although of sufficient importance to be reported in medicul journals, is only one of the many that oceur almost every duy in the institute. The institute people are anxious to get hold of cases like this which other phy- siuns have pronounced incurable and sent the sufferer aw: to die. If they cannot cure him he must surely abandon hope. The institute now comprises all the splendid equipments of the Omaha Med- ical institute, formerly conducted by D J. W. MeMenamy at Ninth and Harne, streets, and all the business and all the contraets of the old institute are now beiny taken care of at the Council Bluffs institution, “The building is new, clean and neat, the nitary | con- ditions absolutely perfect and everything fivst = cluss. aturally associated with the idea of a medical and surgical institute is the impression that it is a place where the blood flows constantly from gaping wounds, where thero ure great arrays of bright, razor- edged instruments, surrounded by ehairs and devices that seem to sylla- ble the word “‘torture” in ereaks and groans, but no such impression can follow a visit to this institute. It is as pleasunt and homelike as an apart- ment hotel, and everything suggests aid and comfort to the sick and maimed, The brace department is the most ex- tensive in the world, and it is under the chargo of the best bruce makers living All braces are made to fit the pitient and fents are not forced into fitting the brace, e His Wife Want: it Al A maa with large, lantern jaws and a sandy moustache has been lying “around the Vo city for several days. past on errand the nature of ywhich but fow, To those whom hdhils acquaintea with his designs he has statedie that b Iives in the eastern part of 'Pettawattamie county, and there is a wommn in his case. Heo was married in this/eity to a woman whose namie was Haggerty, about a year and a half ago, and thoy went 'so» Walnut to live, he being the owner of a farm of 160 acres there, ) 4 10us to her marviage the woman had not been all she should huve beon, and a previ- ous husband of herswow lives in this city on Avenue A. Afier Mer marriage she re- formed but for a shert time, when she vegan 10 o the downward road again, At last a separation took place and the woman came to this city, whence she sent her husband threatening lotters as to what might be expected if he aid not_plank down all the cash she wanted. She threatened to send an officor down and sell his sheep aud cows whenever she was in need of a little spending money, and she even went 80 far as to threaten to have his farm sold out from under his feet ana take the pro- ceeds, she not being satisfied with the usual dower intorest of one-third, The husband 18 thoroughly frightened by ner threats, and his present orrand to induce the woman to come to some agreement by which he may depend upon having a slice ot the estate, of which before his marriage he though he was full owner, a mysterious was known to Passers-by have noticed tho couple in close consultation i1n _ Bayless park night after night for the past week, and considerable speculation has been cansed by their queer actions.

It took money to get it, but city water was needed to make Morningside por- fect, so we had to have it. Now citly water can be had on evel at same rates as in any partof the city. It costs money to build a mile of brick street pavement, but the best residence addi- tion in a city of this size must have paved streets, so the pavement has been ordered and will be put in as soon as it can be done. Everything has been done, is doing and will be done to make Morn- ingside the place to live, But while much has been done and more will be done in the way of improvements by man, the greatest part of the work of making Morningside a splendid place to lot live was done by nature, sl The houses are all modern and new, and some of them very beuutiful in de- sign. They have all been built within a year and a8 many more will probably be built in the next' year.

Adams has been doing some hauling for wanson for several duys past, and 1 that time he has become pretty familiar with the lay of thiugs in the house. Yesterday afternoon all of the men connected with the store were out of the room in a fow minutes and Adams was left alone. When Swanson re- turned a pocketbook containing £10 in cash and some valuable papers were missing from the safe. Adams had also disappeared and Swanson immediately had a_war- rant issued for his urrest. When he was searched at the station his only effects were $1.65 in money, a kuifs and a bunch of keys. The papers consisted mainly of receipts, aggregating about 5,000, They are not of much ‘use to any one else, but their loss might make Mr. Swanson considerable trouble in the future.

This practical educition must be supplemented by special train- ing in the prerequisites of that par- ticular vocation in lifoe which he is to follow. Other things being equal. a large school or colloge affords a better educa- tion than a small one, fo ~the reason that it gives to each student a larger opportunity to observe human. . ur and.the customs of his neighbors. The mere information obtained by studying text books is in itself ordinariiy of very little value compared with the whetting which it gives to the mind, and when the omind is once sharpened it should be so turned as to learn from the world of today, if the student wishes to be in the world and of the world. Should he show a fonduess for stuying politics and a wish to enter public life, a comprehension of Amevican demoeracy is of more value to him than a knowledze of Athenian dem- ocri Should he decide to enter busi- ness, -knowledge of human nature and business practices is of equal consequence with logical nicaty of caleulation—an important result of studying the classics —however valuable the last may be. This fact explains why it is that those valedictorians who do not join in the general life of their college™ class and who devote themseives entirely to the text books, are frequently outstripped in public life, law and business by class- mates who stood a grade or two lowerin scholarship. These latter give a por- tion of time to ohserving their environ- ment, while valedictorians of the kind mentioned take all their views from books, and are consequently less self- reliant. — - Hints on Handling Guns. Having been asked by friends fre- quently for advice for their boys in bandling guns, I'send youn digest of sume, says a writer in Forest and Stream. Perhaps, as the shooting sea- son will now be on soon, you might think them worth publieation: 1. Empty or loaded, never point a gun toward yourself or any other person. 2. When a-field carry your gun at the half-cock. 1f in cover let your hand shield tho hammers from ™ whipping twigs. 3. When riding from one shooting ground to another, or whenever you have your gun in any conveyance, re- move tho cartridges, if a breechloader, it being so easy to replace them, 1f o wmuzzlelonder, remove the caps, brush off the nipples and place a wad on the nipple, letting down the hammers on the wads—simply removing the caps sometimes leaves a little fulminate on the nipple, and a blow on the hammer when down dischargos it. 4. Never draw & gun toward you by the barrels, 5. More care is necessary in the use of a gun in a bont than elsewhore; the limited space, confined action and un- certain motion making it dangerous at the best. If possible, no more than two persons should oceupy aboat. Hummor- less gunsare a constant dunger to persons boating. 6. Always clean your gun thoroughly 48 5000 s you return from a duy’s sport, no matter how tired you feel; the consequence of its always heing ready is ample return for the few minutes irksome Lubor, The An The earliest coin for American use was made about 1612, and bore as . de- sign the picture of a hog.
