The usual treatment Of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of despair
ing patients can testify. A trustworthy
medical writer says: "Proper local treat
ment Is positively necessary to success,
but most of the remedies in general use
by physicians afford but temporary ben
eft. A cure cannot be expected from
snuffs, powders, douches and washes"
Ely's Cream Balm is remedy which
combines the important requisites Of
quick action, specific curative power
with perfect safety and pleasantness to
the patient

FAMILIARITIEs OF YOUNG GIRLS.

There is very little left to call the peo-
pie you love if you lavish words of affec-
ton on every stranger whom you meet.
If you call young woman whom you
have known just half an hour "dear, ~
and one whom you have known three
days darling" there will be no tender
endearing term for you to address to
those who have your whole heart. Girls
who are not of necessity gushing are
often apt to speak in the most familiar
manner. Good speech is certainly pure
silver, but there are so many times when
silence would outweigh it and be perfect
gold. To tell of one family affairs, to
tell of ones joys and worries to some
one who has a sympathetic manner and
seems to invite it, is at once weakness
and misfortune. To write letter in
which you use endearing terms, in which
you discuss personal matters, is more
than merely indiscreet-it is dangerous.
Don't you think if you are bit familiar
in speech or with the pen to man, that
he is going to more than meet this half
way? Don't you think if you call him
by his first name he is very apt to call
you by yours, and perhaps before people
whom you do not care to have think
llShJly Vi YOU IL you permit MN "
speak of things not usually discussed, dc
not imagine for one moment he is going
to regard the conversation as confiden,
tial. He will always tell it to somebody
and you can then imagine how much fur
ther down in the esteem of two people
you have gone. Don'i permit any man
to be familiar with you to the extent OF
calling you 'old girl" or citing you as
zone of the. boys" You don't belong
among the boys, and you shouldn't be
counted there. Don't let any man un.
less you are bethrothed to him, kiss you

Notes from DIR. webb,s Gas Well.

A visit to DIR. Webb's gas well, which
he is having sunk on his farm at Shell
burn is very interesting, and numerous
parties from this city and elsewhere visit
it every day. The hole is 800 feet deep,
but as it is only 81 inches in diameter
and stands on end and wholly under
ground, there is not much to see. For
exhibition purposes the hole should be
above ground, supported by proper tres
tie work and painted some attractive
color. But visitors have to take it Just
as it is, all out of sight. We stood by an
hour the other day, and saw the opera
ton of boring go on. 1t is done by the
means of 125 pound drill, which is fit
ted to heavy handle some 20 feet long,
and operated at the end of long cable.
The cable with the steel drill at its end
is let down into the well until it touches
bottom, the cable is then attached to a
walking beam operated by steam power.
BY constant lifting and dropping of the
drill, the hole is sunk at the rate of
about foot an hour. Justnow the rock
is of black slatish character, and lies
with n slight dip, which compels slow
work to keep the hole straight. Some
time ago the hole got so out of plumb
that 1T became necessary to straighten it.
About 800 feet of the hole was pulled up
and brought to Lang G. Goodhue of this
city. Their attempts to take out the
kinks were unsuccessful, so the hole was
driven back, and large wooden post
driven to the bottom of the bore. The
drilling was resumed, and by sinking
the whole very slowly it was straight
ened. The wooden post was drilled of
to the shape of wedge and left in its
mich in the side of the bore. Some time
afterwards when they were operating the
sand pump, the log fell out and on TOP
of the pump. The line had to be cut,
and grapple sunk for the post. 1t was
finally tished up and is on exhibition al
the well. The workmen evidently knew
their business, and despite the apparent
difficulties of the work, they go on with
it night and day. 1t is the Doctors in
tention to sink the well until he strikes
gas, if it takes 5000 feet or more. AS we
have said, it is interesting to see the
novel work performed, but visitors are
not allowed to take any of the hole with
them.-BWlington INDEPENDENT

ii RELIABLE SUPPLY WANTED.

One of the new beginners" in brick
making tried to take The BEE to task
the other day at the Builders exchange
here in sufficient quantity, and that the
price is still too high. There is no
doubt that men with very small mean
and borrowed capital cannot man utac-
ture brick in Omaha p%roftably at five
dollars a thousand, but that does not
signify that men who have abundant
capital and modern machinery could
not operate in Omaha successfully with
brick at five dollars a thousand.
The fact is hat low rates mean in
creased demand. Omaha has passed
the period Of temporary tenements
and frame finder boxes. She ought
to build solidly in brick, stone
and iron. The workingmen in Omaha
as we'll as the capitalists should be
housed in brick buildings.
With an abundant supply of brick at
low rates our city will soon excel
Kansas City and st. Paul in substantial
appearance. Real estate values are
always higher in a city built of brick
and stone. 1t stands to reason that in
vestors are influenced by appearances,
and their confidence is strengthened by
the substantially of residences, as we'll
as store houses and public buildings.
What Omaha needs now. above all
things, are extensive brick manufacture
ing establishments with capital enough
to accumulate a large supply of brick
and meet the heaviest demand at all
times. Until such concerns are To-
Gated here architects and contractors
will be unable to make close estimates
upon the cost of brick buildings.

THERE is practical agreement be-
tween Bishop Newman and Cardinal
Gibbons regarding the best method for
solving the negro problem. The former
suggests that the solution is to be found
IN educating the negroes; the latter
thinks 1T is ip outstanding them. Ed
ucatlon and christianization should go
hand lin hand, so that these two distin-
gulshed representatives Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal and Catholic churches
are in accord as to the best way OF deal
ing with the negro question. Bishop
Newman is right in another respect,
namely, hat 1T is a mistake for the
negroes to organize such political asso-
Citations us the Afro-American league.
There should be no preservation of race
distinctions, says the bishop, and the
negroes should be the last to attempt to
perpetuate such a distinction. AS we
have heretofore said, the remedy for
the abuses and ~outrages, political and
otherwise, of which the colored citize M
complain, will not be obtained through
separate political organization. The
negro must make himself felt and recog-
nized as an element of the two great
parties, and he must establish his claim
to regard by demonstrating his capacity
for the duties and responsibilities OF
citizenship. The advice of such sincere
friends of the negro as Bishop Newman
and Cardinal Gibbons should not be
lost upon him.

Alton would apply his remedy only In
the event Of n continuance of the course
res pecting. the railroads which the
state and federal governments are
o pursuing; that is, regulat-
ing the corporations by national
and state laws. 1t is to this that the
president OF the Alton obviously at
tributes what he regards as the uniortu-
nate present situation aud future out
look OF the railroads, and he leaves 1t to
be inferred that il this course we're
abandoned the railroads could take care
OF themselves. He would seem, how
ever, not to be at all hopeful hat this
will happen.
Very naturally, doubtless, President
Blackstone reasons wholly from the rail-
road point Of view. Looking at the fig
ures which he presents as representing
the reduced value Of the RAILROAD prop
erty OF the country, and assuming that
the value OF this property is still declin-
ing, he is solicitous only to rescue it from
further depreciation. But there is a
broader view to be taken of the expeG-
iency Of the government assuming the
ownership and control of the railroads
of the country which takes into account
the interests and welfare of the people
as of first and highest Importance. The
experiment of government regulation of
interstate railroads has by no means
failed, but it has been productive of
less benefit to the people than was
hoped for, largely for the reason that
there are railroad systems which it can
not reach, but which yet are intimately
connected with the general systems,
There is no remedy for this within the
authority of congress, and it has not
thus far been found practicable for the
states, legislatlng with regard to the
railroads over which they have control,
to remove the difficulties incident
to the existence of two systems
under separate jurisdictions. The
government ownership OF rail-
roads would do away with this compli-
cation and end all the troubles that
grow out of it. Rates OF transportation
would then be fixed with reference to u
fair and reasonable return upon the
capital invested in the roads, and they
would have the important quality of
stability.
1t would seem inevitable that sooner
or later this must become the policy of
the country, demanded by the general
popular sentiment as absolutely
necessary to the security and
protection of the public inter
ests from the eXactions and tyranny of
the railroads on the one hand, and from
| the unsettling effects of almost contin-
ual conflicts on the other. 1t may take
some time to overcome the irrational
fears Of those who profess 10 see danger
TO our institutions in thus adding to the
functions of the government, but ex-
perience is rapidly educating the popu-
lar sentiment in this direction as the
only solution of a very %perpleXing prob
lem. Either the country must ulti-
mately submit to a monster railroad
trust so powerful as to control the gov
eminent, or the railroads must become
the property of the government aud be
managed under the national authority.

THE attack on the management OF the
Armour udahy packing house for re-
fusing to dance attendance on certain
newspaper representatives is unjust and
idlotic. While the lives Of employees
were in peril, and cries for help coming
from the ruins, it could hardly be ex-
pected that work should cease at the
command of a lordly reporter. The
fact is that the management afforded
every reasonable facility to gentle
manly reporters to obtain the details Of
the disaster, but declined to permit a
cross-examination Of employees, whose
time was taken up in the more import
n work Of searching the ruins.

CONTROL OF

Nothing has recently emanated from
n railroad source more interesting and
suggestive than the annual report Of
Mr.. Blackstone. president OF the
Chicago & Alton road.S For the first
time in the history of American rail-
roads the head of a great railway sug-
gests that the national government
shall acquire the ownership of ali the
railroads in the United States by the
exercise OF its right of eminent domain
or by purchase. The general views Of
Mr., Blackstone regarding the out
look for the railroads. may
appear somewhat pessimistic, and hence
the process of reasoning by which he
reaches the conclusion that 1t would be
desirable for the government to as
sumo the ownership Of the railroads is
not SO complete aud conclusive as it is
possible to make an argument in be-
half of this policy. The president of the

AFRAID TO 1EIE AIS MOTHER.
A Young Man Suicides Rather Than
Disclose His Marriage.


SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. 2+.-[Special Tele-
gram to The BEE. John II. Browne, at one
time clerk in the Canadian parliament, com
mitted suicide in his room at the Wells
house yesterday. His body was found lying
upon the floor of his apartment by q cham
bermaid late in the afternoon. An empty
phial which had contained morphine was
tightly clutched in his left hand and ex-
planned the cause of death.
Brownies death revealed a romantic mar
rage, the knowledge of which has been care
fully guarded from his family. His mother
and sister live at 1.-THE Grove" on
the Canadian side of Niagara falls.
The mother is very wealthy,
and Browne was an only son.
Two years ago a beautiful English
girl was taken into the family as maid.
Browne became infatuated with the girl,
and she grew to entertain a warm friendship
for him. His mother discovered the attach
ment, and warned him ii he married the
girl she would not only close the doors
against them both, but would disinherit him
at her death. She then dismissed the girl.
Soon after this Browne left home, ~ostensi-
bly, to attend to some business matters, and
met the girl in Buffalo, where they became
man and wife. The girl insisted on recogui-
ton by his family, but browne kept putting
her off until he could do so no longer, ana
rather than 40 it killed himself.

THE disastrous explosion of a boiler
In the Armour packing house was not
due to the negligence of the manage
ment or employees. An examination of
the wreck shows that the boiler was de-
fective in tensile strength, although it
had stood the test OF the expert ex-
aminers within a few months. Boiler
explosions are so rare nowadays that
when one does occur the first impulse is
to charge the fireman and engineer
with neglect OF duty. In the present
instance the responsibility rests on the
manufacturer. Faulty iron and poor
workmanship we're the immediate cause
Of the distressing calamity.

Rev. DIR. Lorimer of Chicago Explains
His Peculiar Actions.
HoLYoKB, Mass, Feb. 24.-lSpeclal Tele-
gram to The BEE. There was an unusual
attendance at the Second Baptist church
yesterday. Professionals and Catholics alike
were there. They went to hear what posi-.
Bile explanation the Rev. DIR. Lorimer of
Chicago could make Of his bitter attack on
Catholicism in his lecture Friday night ON
1.-THE French Revolution When DIR. Lor-
inner stepped upon the platform thai night
his face was red and inflamed and his gait
uncertain. Without any reference to the
subject Of the lecture he plunged at once
into q rambling attack upon the Roman
Catholic church. AS he proceeded IL was
his words incoherent. AS he kept
on the people began to get up and
go out until the hall was almost deserted.
Then the clergyman retired. His friends
knew not what to make of it and said he
must have been %drugged.
Finally 1t was announced the doctor would
make an explanation from the pulpit of the
Second Baptist church. In the pulpit be-
side Pastor Booth was DIR. Lorimer. After
the opening exercises DR.. Booth arose and
said he had a statement to make in regard to
DR.. Lorimer's conduct Friday night. DIR.
Lorimer was not on that occasion under the
influence of liquor as had been minated, but
was suffering from the effects of an overdose
of quinine. He had been i'll, and had taken
So much quinine IL had robbed HIM of his
mental and physical powers. DR.. Lorimer
then arose., and, with tears streaming down
his cheeks, said DR.. Booth had truly ex-
plalned the terrible affair. No one regretted
the occurrence more sincerely than he, and it
afforded him pleasure TO thus publicly apollo
