THE COMBINATION
OF a Number of Excellent Qualities
Is the Source of Real Merit

This combination is clearly shown in the
expert staff of the English and German expert
specialists, where each man is specialist in
himself. The cure of chronic disease requires
the combined skill of several specialists, in
order that each organ shall be properly con-
sidered in the plans for cure.
If sufferers from chronic troubles could
realize how necessary it is for them to start
right in their first step towards health, they
would use their best judgment in selecting
their medical advisers.
The cure of chronic disease has been a stum-
bling block to the average physician, OWN to
his lack of knowledge and training in these
diseases. The specialist who has made life
study of chronic diseases is able to cure where
others fail. This is why the English and Ger
man expert specialists succeed after Others fail.
Try them; it cost you nothing to consult them.

LINCOLN'S PRIVATE CAR.
Interesting Historic Relic OF War Times
Lying Neglected at Omaha.

Interesting Historic Relic OF War Times
Lying Neglected at Omaha.
That the sense Of reverence for the
relics of the historic past is not as devel-
oped as it should be in the rushing life
OF our republic is finding striking IL
lustration in the fate now overtaking
one of the mosc interesting objects of
the great days of 1868. This is the
war car of President Lincoln. 1t has
come to light that this historic railway
coach-the one in which Lincoln made
his visits to the army in the Virginia
campaigns, in which he held consulta-
tons with Grant, Sherman, Sheridan
and other leaders and in which finally
he was borne to his last resting place
Is now abandoned and left to decay in
an our of the way corner in the Union
Pacific car shops at Omaha. The most
magnificent car on the iron rails in its
time, its now cracked, weather beaten
sides. its shattered windows, rusty brass
ratings and bare interior offer mourn
ful contrast to its departed grandeur.
The car was built specially for Mr.
Lincoln in the military Car shops at AL
exandria early in 1864 1t was AZ feet
long by l2 feet wide and was divided
into three compartments. The entrance
was by door that opened at one end
into a narrow corridor extending the
entire length of the car. From this pas
sageway doors opened into the three
compartments. The one at the end of
the car was larger than the others. This
was Mr. Lincoln's Office and study. 1t
was furnished with tables and sofa
and reclining chairs. The sofa was a
combination affair, made of unusual
length to correspond to Mr.. Lincoln s
physical requirements. 1t was used as
sofa or lounge during the day, but at
night could be adjusted into "a double
bed Of two berths.
The walls were furnished with rich
corded crimson silk upholstery, and the
frieze displayed painted panels of the
coat of arms of the several states. The
car was adapted to the exigencies Of the
times, being ironclad, armor plate being
set between the inner and outer walls
to make it bullet proof. From this cir
cumstance its weight was so great that
it was thought necessary to place it upon
four four wheel trucks.
The car was sent with quantity OF
war material to Cincinnati to be sold in
1866. Sidney Dillon Of the Union Pa
cific purchased it, with other cars anC
equipment, and it passed to Omaha. Its
I connection with Mr.. Lincoln and the
fact that it was one of the finest private
cars then i'll existence gave 1T great
temporary public attention. 1t twas uset
as a directors private car for awhile
but its great weight and peculiar con
struction later caused it to be laid aside
Even as dining car for construction
gang it proved unsuitable, and TO
years it has been disintegrating III Idle
ness in the shops at Omaha Unles
steps are taken to save the interesting
relic it will shortly vanish entirely. =

Eugene Field Was Appreciated.

The man was in many ways more re.
markable than his work. Yet some or
his work was very good. All his verse
has the quality of being eminently
readable, and some Of it is admirably
good poetry, charming in spirit and
fancy and finished in style. His para
phrases Of Horace, good as they are,
have probably too much of the prairie
air in them to become classics, but some
of his poetry about children. as Little
Boy Blue" and "Wynken, Blynken and
Nod" must go into any book of the
poetry of childhood which includes all
that is best. No doubt Eugene Field
spent vast amount of time and energy
and talent in writing what was not
worth while. but that was part OF his
daily task and brought its necessary rec
ompense. He was remarkable man and
did some remarkable things and got q
great deal out Of life 1t is satisfaction
to think that his reward was not all de.
ferred until he had gone to his rest. -
