sKiLLFUL OPERATIONS.

DIR. Z. Y. Muncell is having surprising
success with his celebrated "Brirkerhotf
system Of treating plies. He has cured a
number Of very bad cases of late. \ re-
porter was in his infmary yesterday and
saw something of the operations on the eye
which he had performed, and conversed
with three patients he is at present treating.
Miss Ada shepherd, Of Sedgwick City, a
girl Of IL, is being treated for dead bone
below the eve, which causes an accumula-
ton Of mater and inflammation of the eye.
In order to get a clear idea of the mode of
treatment in this case the operation must
be seen. She is doing well. Mrs. Ed Grady,
Of Arkansas City, who was struck by the
link at the end of the bell rope on the train
at Muivane recently is being successfully
treated for depression of the cheek bone and
laehraymal sac. Her cheek bone has been
so bruised that matter is forced upward into
the eve. She is so far recovered as to be in
a condition to 90 home.
The most wonderful case however is
that Of Mrs. McDougall, lady 20
years old, who resides near Derby, who had
been so blind from cataract in either eye
that she could not distinguish bread from
butter during the the past two years. One
eye has been blind about ten years. The
doctor left the room and the reporter ques-
toned the old lady, as TO her condition be-
fore the treatment and now. swell,
sir" she replied, "when / came
here three weeks ago, could just distin-
guish day and night and that was all. Now
/ can hold out my hand and count my fin
gers" "Was the operation painful!' Not
at all, il hurt me little but not much. !
had suffered SO much and so long that a felt
death would be relief, but new am feeling
real happy. This cure is deserving of no.
tice the more particularly that the old lady
was almost physically lifeless when she
came for treatment

Squire w. W. Thomas is home from an
extended trip among friends in Illinois, In
diana and Ohio and gives gloomy account
of business through all that territory. From
the time he reached the Missouri line he
said the wheat crop kept getting worse and
worse until in Ohio and Indiana they had
absolutely no wheat at all. He said he would
not give what wheat he saw between here
and the east line of the state for all he saw
from there to Indianapolis. In the latter
city he said lots with fine brick buildings
could be bought for less than the lot cost in
the first place. Fine farms just outside the
city with brick houses that cost 81, 900 were
renting for S. per acre. He visited a coun-
ty seat in Indiana where he had read law,
and there he found the lawyers playing
marbles at the court house and just two
teams hitched on the street. The same dead
state of affairs prevailed everywhere he
went There is no money in the country
and anxious as people are to sell out and
come west they cannot sell at any price. No
wonder people are looking to Kansas as the
land of deliverance.

eARNUM'S PRIZE BABY.
| The Winner of 500 and Gold badge
Turns Up Unexpectedly.


Turns Up Unexpectedly.
London TRUTH
The real name Of Perugini, the tenor, is
Chatterton. He proves Wordsworth's say
ing that the child il the father OF the man.
He is, in plastic sense, mas culine beauty,
and at the age OF years and months won
first prize at Barnum's baby show It was
awarded him by jury Of twelve ladirs, who
all kissed and caressed him. He retains a
vivid recollection of the ordeal The prize
was 500 and gold badge.
When Barnum sailed last for Europe Per-
ugini was in the same steamer. Meeting
him on deck, tho famous Snowman put his
hands in his pockets, planted himself firmly
on his feet, stared at the tenor, and said:
3Wsll, guess this amt the first time I've
met your mo, Mr.. Barnum, it is not
am curious to see il you can remember
where the meeting was" MIR. Barnum
thought and thought "Perugini, Peru
gini,n he cogitated Il have sesn the name
in operate advertisement, but can not as
sociate it with the face, which somehow
know well. Are you an Italianr "No'
@Well, then what were you called origin
allylo "Chatterton." that's it, You're
the prize baby" Eyes, Mr.. Barnum, it is
to you owe my earliest success" 80 It Is;
and Pm proud to hear you acknowledge it "
A few days later an attempt was made t.
get up a concert on board Barnum came
to ask Perugini to be tenor vocalist The
singer, who was not well, needed to be
pressed. Said Barnum: 'If you don't shake
off that cold and sing, I'll tell how you were
the hero of the baby exhibition" "Fol
Heavens sake don't Keep silent about it,
and you shall have the song But you must
be my sponsor" Barnum, therefore, on the
occasion OF the concert advanced to the
place set apart for the singers, leading the
handsome young tenor, and said: "Ladie'
and gentleman: Allow me to present to you
Sig Perugini, whose first appearance in pub
lie took place under my auspices, undel
what circumstances you need not ask, for
don't mean to tell you" Barnum told Peru
| gini that be was the liqIid-eyed Juvenile b
remembered him, plus a mustachs. He ha'
just the face and figure Of the Abeau jsuns
