On Jan. q, 1896. Abbo opened an office
In the Provident building of this city, and
through the columns of the daily press
announced that it was the foundation OF
an institution for the treatment and cure
of disease which he intended to perma-
nently establish in Savannah. When the
door of that little office, high up in the
tall bank building. was thrown open for
the reception of those people who wished
to consult with Abbo, the first stone was
laid in the building of a record and rep
utation that none others have exceled'
and that very few in any part of the
country have attained.
When intelligent and prominent citizens
one after another entered the office OF
Abbo. men of learning, men of experience
men versed even in the knowledge OF
medicine and disease, and men and women
whose intellect, ability and comprehen-
siveness placed them above being decoyed

giving to Savannah an establishment
which the progressiveness and growth Of
the city demanded, thoroughly equipped

people suffering from disease and bodily
affection could obtain efflcacious and skill
full treatment, and which would attract
to the city thousands of dollars every year
by means of the number who would seek
this institution for treatment, instead of
those located in northern and eastern
cities.
Success Beyond Expression.
The success achieved by Abbo was phe-
nomenal and without any display of ego
tism he can proudly furnish short re-

there are thousands of people in this city

may decide whether their good will and

Scarcely one month had elasped from
the day when the doors of the little Office
of Abbo the Specialist. was swung open
to the public, when 1t was apparent that
the constantly increasing volume of pro-

therefore became necessary to seek other
apartments.

Our Thanks rendered.

Although the skill and knowledge in tho
art of medicine and surgery, possessed by
Abbo. was the foundation upon which tho
success of the Abbo Institute was built
yet ungrateful indeed, would we be werd

of Savannah.
To them, one and all, we return our
sincere thanks, and upon entering our
second year, we pledge ourselves to keep
up to the past standard, IN
every particular, our professional
work. We propose to prove before the ex-

had been received by the citizens of this
city will not be barren of some good re-
suits to the city.

A BAD BorCH.
Mortgage Assignment Law May Be
Defeated by a Blunder.

The first dispute as to the correctness
of the official journal of the house pro-
ceedings arose Saturday, but the jour
nal was sustained and the validity of
the mortgage assignment law has al
ready been seriously questioned.
Mr.. Seaver called the attention OF
the house to the fact that an amend
ment adopted in place of section of
the bill by the house. does not appear
in the bill as signed by Governor Leedy
and published in this weeks issue of
the official state paper
Section 4, of the original bill follows:
No assignment of any mortgage
hereafter executed affecting real estate
shall be received for record unless such
herein provided and no assignment OF
mortgage shall be received against the
mort gagCr. his heirs, personal repre-
SentatiVeS or assigns in any court or
this state unless the same shall have
been acknowledged and recorded as
herein provided; and no transfer of any
note, bond or other evidence of indebt-
edness by Endorsement or otherwise in
any case where such Indebtedness is
secured by mortgage on real estate
within this state shall be received in
evidence against the mOrtgagOr, his
heirs, personal representatives or as
signs. unless the mortgage securing
said indebtedness shall have been duly
assigned to the transferee of the evil
dence of Indebtedness secured thereby
and such assignment of mortgage shall
have been rendered under the provis-
ions OF this act
The amendment offered by Mr.. Will
iams of Mcpherson was in substance:
that in the event any holder of a mort
gage failed to have it recorded, and at
tempted foreclosure, such proceedings
would be subject to payments made
thereon, a provision which would tend
to destroy the accumulation Of "over
judgments"
It is admitted by members on both
sides of the house that the amendment
was adopted. However, the bill went
to the senate was passed, sent to the
governor, printed and became a law,
Without the change which the amend
ment produced having been made
Today Mr.. Seaver discovered the err
rOr and offered a resolution that the
journal of that days proceedings be
corrected to show the adoption Of the
amendment.
Ward of Mitchell imagined Seaver's
motion was a scheme to kill the law
as it now stands without amendment,
to which Mr.. Ward objected vigorously
and moved that the Seaver resolution
be laid upon the table.
Seaver, Jackson of Comanche. Bot
kin, Giessler. Williams, and a number
Of other mem bers, this afternoon filed
for record in the house journal, a pro-
test against the refusal to make the
official record of the house proceedings
indicate what was done with the bill
The clerks of the house do not dispute
the claim that the amendment was Of
fered and adopted, but say that if it
was so considered that the employees at
the clerks desk failed to record it,
The subject was then dropped. and
the bill will remain law as published
despite the protests of the supporters
of the amendment.

CAN IF He WILL.
Mrs Diggs Praises the Governor and
Wants Him to Enforce Prohibition.

Mrs. Annie L. Diggs. one of the most
able opponents of Populism in Kansas,
hopes that Gov Leedy's courage will
not fail him with reference to the pro-
hibitOry law
Mrs. Diggs says Gov. Leedy has evin-
ced splendid courage in vetoing the
railroad bill, and hopes for further man.
festations of ii. Continuing, she said {:
Much will be expected of him regard
ing the enforcement of that law which
has been the despair and the downfall
of every chief executive since its en-
actnent. No governor, since prohibit
tiOn became the constitutional law of
the state, has possessed the manly
strength and determined character to
grapple the situation and master it
There has not been, nor will there be,
any reasons, save weakness, vacillating
and lack of honest devotion TO the laws
of the state, why prohibition should not
have been fully and thoroughly en-
forced Gov. Leedy has the requisite
'JackSOnianism' for this heroic perform
ance. Irrespective of the wisdom or
unwiSdOm of this constitutional law
likes or dislikes of a chief executive he
uplifts his hand and kisses a holy writ
in sacred pledge that he will execute
the law. Let the consequences be what
they may There is but one sunlit path
of duty and of honor for the chief ex-
ecutive.
Gov. Leedy is absolved from all re-
sponstbility concerning the nature of the
law. Good or bad, it is the peoples law
Good bad, this legislature. like its
predecessors, refused TO relieve him of
the hard necessity of its enforcement
Good or bad, let the people, not the gov
ernoT, take the consequences.
Happily in this great executive duty
the paths of official integrity and of po-
Htical wisdom coincide. The faithful
sustained, heroic, defiant enforcement
of prohibition by Gov. Leedy would
command respect, enlist cooperation
and win steadfast party converts from
OTf1 mn a11al hi IL
voters. Two votes would be won where
one would be alienated. OF course. no
half way effort would accomplish such
results, but genuine and victorious act
ion would. And. it would not only be
good politics, but splendid sagacity and
lofty MORALS

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.
Formal Adjournment Delay ed,
Most Members Gone.
Both Houses Agree ON Miscel-
laneOqs Appropriations.
Republican Members of House and
Senate Resolve to Fight Bristow.

After changing the time which had
been agreed upon as the time after
which neither house should consider
any more legislative business several
times. the house and senate agreed that
midnight Saturday night should be the
final time. They agreed on their mis-
cellaneous appropriation bills and ad-
journed till this morning Nothing more
viii be passed, and as soon as the gov
ernor informs the houses that there is
nothing more that he can think of for
them to do they will go home. Most
of the members have gone home today
and those that remain are only here for
the purpose of giving the governor a
chance to look over the bills that have
been passed and either sign them or
veto them.
The question which kept the houses
from agreeing on Saturday was whether
there should be any money appropria-
lions for an investigation of the al
legged bribery cases 1t was finally
agreed to appropriate $4,000 for that
purpose, but ii took till midnight Sat
urday night to get all the members into
line on the proposition.
Final adjournment may not take
place for a few days yet. but it will be
only a formal affair, nothing more Will
be done.

no great danger of any measure COM
ing up on which the Republican mem

tend that he is after any office for him
self but will employ his time seeing
that the postoffices and other patron
age fall into the proper hands. 1t is
said that L. s. Crum, as he usually
does, went with Leland. Crum wants
to be United States marshal and it is
practically conceded that he will be
aVOwed candidate. L E Lambert left
Topeka yesterday for his home in En-
poria and will go on to Washington the

slated to succeed W. c. Perry as dis

HIS DREAM CAME TRUE.
The Bill to Cut Down the State Print
er's Fees Was Also Killed.

Although determined effort was made
by the legislature to effect a reduction
in the fees of the state printer the bill
providing for it died in the conference
committee and there will be reductions
for the ensuing two years at least.
The effort to cause a reduction origin
ated in the house. Representative Ed
win Taylor of Wyandottee introduced a
per cent in all state printer fees.
The measure was referred to the COM
n7ittee on printing and Chairman O. o.
Outcalt reported a recommendation that
a % per cent reduction be made. This
was the result of a unanimous vote of the
committee
After a prolonged fight in the commit
tee of the whole of the house the bill was
changed back to its original form, placed
on third reading, passed and messaged
to the senate That body amended the bin

mitted ii to the house The latter body
refused to concur in the amendment and a

on request of the house.

Hessin said:
This man Limbocker I have known
