EIectro-Medical Batteries and Instruments.

Electricity has become so important a
factor in the treatment of disease and in
surgery, that scientists have devoted them
selves to devising and securing wonderful
appliances and instruments for the use of
the advanced physicians surgeons, dentists,
oeculists and aurists of to-day. Evidence
of the success of the learned savants in
these directions is given at the valuable dis
play OF the Electrical Supply and Construc-
tion Company, the single and only one of
the kind in the building, and one of pecu-
liar value to professional men. There are
no fewer than seven styles of medical bat
teries covering the two systems of broken
and unbroken or direct currents. They
are the "Six Current Home" with addi-
tional tootplate and hair-brush electrodes;
the 'tHome," with Grenet battery; the
''Universal Family" the 'Lee's Family
Faradic,'' gene rating four currents; the
''Chloride of Silver Dry Cell, a double
coil Faradic, to produce alternating cur
rents; the "Pocket Faradic,' which gives
three currents primary, secondary and
combined; the 'Lord Baltimore" for home
and travelling, size 4x5x2 inches. In the
electro-medical electrodes there are ecras-
eurs, cautery knives, platinum and porce-
lain moxas, tongue electrodes, laryngeal and
fauces electrodes, ear, eye and nerve elec-
trodes, scourge brushes, metallic discs
globular, cylindrical and oval, for ulcers; plat
inum and steel needles for resolution of
tumors; as well as electrical apparatus for
dental rooms. Large and complete as is
this exhibit, it merely indicates the amount
and variety of this class of stock carried by
the Electrical Supply and Construction
Company, and to better comprehend its
magnitude a visit to the establishment, 947
Liberty street, will be of paramount advan-
tage to those interested.

The sepia Process in Photoprapbv.

One entire room in the art department is
devoted to the Photographic work emanat-
ing from the studios of Mr.. B. L. H Dabbs.
The work of this artist is. if possible, better
as the years roll by. The newest feature
is known as the sepia process, which has
just been adopted by Mr.. Dabbs, and as it
gives exquisite softness and finish to the
pictures it attracts great attention and is
being received with enthusiasm by his pa
irons.

THE DOG DID 1T.

Removal of the Army Post at Fort Leav-
enwOrth to st. Louis.
A story was told at the Southern by an
army officer which goes to show that the
removal of the headquarters of the Depart
ment of the Missouri from Fort Leaven-
worth, Kans., to st. Louis was caused by
the playfulness of dog. Fort Leavenworth
is one Of the biggest army posts in the coun-
try, and the school for cavalry and infantry
is located there. While General Merritt had
his headquarters at the fort General Alex
Med. McCOok of I" the fighting family OF
MeCooks," as Colcnel of the Sixth Infantry,
commanded the post and was superintendent
of the school. General Merritt commanded
the Department of the Missouri, and General
McCo0k thought that in the detail of his
post General Merritt felt inclined to exercise
too much of personal supervision. and there
was constant friction.
Finally the climax was attained, and big
ST. Bernard dog belonging to Lieutenant,
Fuller Of the Seventh Cavalry caused a
rupture between General Merritt and G u
eral McCook, which made Fort Leaven-
worth and its reservation of 1889 acres too
small for both to live in. The dog, in a
playful mood, jumped upon a lady whose
husband was serving on General Merrilts
staff, and, knocking her down. greatly
frightened ler General Merritt witnessed
the incident and heard the screams of the
lady. He forthwith ordered one of the en-
listed men at headquarters to kill the dog,
and for that purpose the man followed the
dog into the yard belonging TO Lieutenant
Ful!er's quarters, and there was confronted
by the Lieutenant with Winchester, who
said he'd kill the man If he shot at the dog.
The man withdrew, and General Merritt re-
porting the matter to General McCoOk, the
latter.sustained Lieutenat Fuller, and point
edly told General Merritt he could not act
by proxy or otherwise. as "Grand Master OF
his post" And out of this little episode the
removal of department headquarters came
about. for General McCook of Ohio set
about getting rid OF General Merritt, and
had political influence enough to do it,

SANTIAGO DE CHILE, July 27.-An Of
fetal announcement has been made TO the
effect that the revolt is not making any
progress. After the defeat of the rebels at
Vallenar 5000 men we're ordered from
1quique to Atacama, but 1000 of them re-
fused to leave as they had not received any
pay. The rebels will not venture to attack
the arm y at Coqumbo, although the forces
there are isolated from the other Balmace-
dan forces. The judicial authority, so the
report goes, has been re-established, aud
works regularly throughout the territory in
concert with the legislative power, thus, it
is alleged, rendering impossible the over
throw of President Balmaceda.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-Publshed ac-
counts of the reported defeat of the Chilean
Congressional troops at Huasco and Vale
mar having been received at the Congress
sional headquarters at Iquique, Mr.. Ezra
zurZ, the Minister of Foreign Affairs there,
has sent a cablegram to the Congressional
ENJOYS here fatty denying the truth Of the
report.
A cablegram says also that the forces of
extensive province Of Atacama. in which
are comprised Huasco and Vallenar.
CooUIMBo Chile, via Galveston, July
27.-Once more there is the prospect of a
battle between the forces of Balmaceda and
the insurgents. The Junta's troops are
missing at Huasco, and it is expected will
soon be on the march toward this place.
The Congressional feet will operate here in
the OmDlned attack to be made upun the
Aconcagua, Cochrane and Esmeralda ar
rived outside Coquimbo Bay few days
since, and an attack ON the town is hourly
expected. The best ships in the Government
service are now on the way north to engage
the attention Of the Junta's feet.
NEW YORK, July PA special from La
zerna, Chile, says: The British guIi-b0at
Daphne has arrived here from Iquque.
She is the bearer of important letters from
Jorge Montt, Commander-in-chief of the
army and navy of the Congressional party,
to President Balmaceda. The contents are
secret. 1t Is believed here, however, that they
will offer some sort of compr mise with the
Government. RumOrs are afloat in this
city, and are generally believed, that the ih-
sursents are weakening. 1t is said that
they contemplate a movement on the Bal
maceda forces at once. They dre anxious
to have the struggle settled for good. The
Government forces are maSsing here.
LISBON, July 27.-The river police here

A VALID CONTRACT.
4 Supreme Court Decision in the Omaha
Bridge Case.

OMAHA. July 27.-Justice Brewer OF the
United States Supreme Court this morning
announced a decision in the famous Union
Pacific Rock Island bridge case The de-
cision is against the Union Pacific. The
Judge holds that the contract with the
Rock Island and Milwaukee roads is valid
EJuStice Brewer holds, in substance, as fol-
lows: The contract was signed by the
proper officers of the Union Pacific, ap-
proved and duly authorized, and was bind
ing. 1t would not operate at present so as
to disable the Union Pacific from discbarg-
ing its duties. 1t was not compelled by its
Obligations to the United States Govern
ment to hold its tracks or property beyond
the use Of any other corporation. To the cor
tention that the term of contract was
ninety-nine years, and before 1t expired the
growing business of tue Union Pacific
would demand the entire possession aud
use of all its tracks and facilities. and that
the length of term made that void which
might have been valid for few years, the
Court held that no one could foresee the
future.
If a changed condition of affairs twenty
years hence should make the full use OF the
tracks necessary to the Union Pacific the
powers OF court OF equity would be equal
to the emergency. Furthermore, the Gov
ernment was not prevented by the contract
IRON stepping in at any time when its rights
were abused and compelling the Union Pacific
10 fully discharge its duties. The contract
was simply one to convert to a money sur
plus the use OF part of the Union Paclhc
property. In conclusion, the Court held that
none OF the objections were well taken, aud
that the contract was not ultra wires. The
Court further said that the testimony dis
closed the fact that before the contract was
entered into the Rock Island had determined

between Council Bluffs and Beatrice by its

were pending to secure the necessary money

At this point the officers of the Union
Pacific sought those of the Rock Island and
prevented the building of the bridge by

was the case in question and The contract of

Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
has returned to Washington after his visit to
the Pacific Coast, where he went six weeks
ago to open bids and award contracts for

lower than those for the past fiscal year.
Belt visited some of the Indian schools in
Arizona and New Mexico, including those
conducted by the Government and those
known rs contract schools, managed by the
various religious denominations. Belt speaks
very highly of the general condition OF the
Government schools, both in their intellec-

schools, ana with respect to the industrial
training given there is no comparison be-
tween the TWO classes.

LONDON, July 27.-The President of the
Wesleyan Conference to-day made an au-
thOritative statement of the views of the
church on the recent social scandals. He
condemned the doctrine that while cheating
was wrong, gambling was right. The Wes-
leyans, he said, held that the wrong began
with gambling, whether in ariStocratic
houses or on the stock exchanges of COM
mercial circles. The churches ought to
unite and obtain legislation to check the
evil. The President also suggested that
among the means to he taken to prevent
gambling Is that of preventing the news
papers from printing advertisements di-
reetly tending TO promote gambling. In
conclusion. the President said many thous-
ands OF Christian voters are determined. at
The coming general election, to put moral
questions above party considerations and
would return man free from moral stain.

KANSAS DEMOCRATS.
A Committee Appointed to Prepare an Address
to the People.


to the People.
TOPEKA Kans.). July 81. - The Demo-
cratic Press Association OF Kansas is in
convention here. a committee appointed
for the purpose will present an address to
the people at this evenings session. It
says in part: I'VE believe in abolishing the
iniQuities of class legislation in tariff legis-
lation; in the return to the financial system
of the country practiced from its founda-
tinn to the year 1878; in the abolition of the
bankrupt system and in the vigorous and
wholesome control of the Transportation
system of the country" The address
opposes the Government oaning money ON
the products of the soil, on the ground that
the Government should not become banker
1t opposes the Government purchase of rail-
roads, but favors the legislative control of
them, and opposes the proposition for the
Government to purchase the surplus of farm
products as unconstitutional. The admin
istration of President Harrison, the appoint
ment of w. w. Dudley, the upholding of
Senator Quay by the Senate, and the Nc
knley tariff law are strongly denounced.
A fusion with the Peoples party is not i'll
dorsed or advised.
