The circus was viewed Friday
afternoon by group Of adults who
took all the unfeigned delight Of
children in the performance.
Fifty patients from the insane
hospital we're given treat. A Sec
tion of seats was roped of for them
and they we're under the watchful
eyes of attendants. Only the quieter
patients were brought and they
made no trouble.
Their delight was unfeigned.
Handclapping greeting each act.
Some were interested in the horses,
Others n'the acrobats, but all took
keeLest Joy in, the antics of the
clown. All but one. He was a
man with a face that showed he
had one day been a person Of force
and position He sat with folded
arms and stern face and did not
smile. The clowns did not amuse
him, the feats Of agility and daring
did not move him.
But the Others more than made
up for his indifference. Every
move of the clowns was eagerly
followed and laughter succeeded
their mishaps. The outing was a
treat which made them happier,
though their memory Of it will be
short. Evansville Courier.

Omaha and the Exposition.

Omaha is certainly establishing a
reputation as a convention city.
Ever since the exposition opened
there has been a constant stream OF
visitors, attracted partly by the
meeting of some organization in
which they were interested. OF
course the result is beneficial to the
associations, the exposition and the
city. 1t is customary in Omaha,
as in many other cities, for the
mayor to formally welcome visiting
organizations of this kind, and since
the opening of the exposition Mayor
Moores has been kept busy in this
way. One week he was called out
of town, and as there were several
organizations "booked' for opening
meetings during his absence he
was forced to call upon some of his
assc cciates to take his place. One
of the meetings was an important
scientific gathering and the officer
chosen to represent the mayor on
this occasion was one whose authori-
ty was second only to that OF the
chief executive officer Of the muni-
cipality. The gentleman who filled
the bill is a worthy citizen and
commands universal respect, but
as he himself explained to the visit
ors, the task put upon him by the
mayor was not exactly in his line
Accordingly he found it convenient
to read from the manuscript the ad
dress of welcome. As the speech
had been typewriter he had no dif
ficulty whatever in reading it, anc
evidently gained confidence as h'
proceeded. When he had reac

er thin clay loam soil, and suffered
considerable from winter killing.
All varieties were considerably rust
ed. Nos. s, 8, 10, IL, II, ID and
Is were badly rusted.
Afungus disease popularly known
as wheat scab was very prevalent.
This disease attacks the wheat head
As a result the head, or some part
of it, turns lighter in color. The
grains turn an ashy color and ate
light, chaffy and worthless. Nos.

cally free from scab. Twenty-Five
per cent. of the heads of Nos. 8 and
is, 40 per cent. Of No. s. GO per
cent. Of No. 10 and IS per cent.
of No. 6 were affected with scab.
Farmers will do well to select
those varieties which are compare
lively exempt from scab.
OF the new varieties which have
been grown at this Station but Cne
year Nos. 4 and II are considered
the most promising. Nos. ] and

Saturday night while Maynard

three men, two of whom were armed

was about 1890 and tie men inter

and Madison streets and two of them
poked guns in his face and started
an argument as to whether he had
any money. Being game, Bush sight
ed them his pile and they took it all
and disappeared.
Bush went home and gathered

the town over and searched all the

One poor fellow was so overcome by
the gang that he had to borrow u

A MUCH ABUSED PHRASE.
For Which Medical Experts Are
Largely RespOnsible.


In reading the report of she Benham
trial one cannot fail to be sadly i'm
pressed by the serious use by medical
experts of that much-abused phrase,
heart failure" as scientifically deScrip-
tive of the possible cause of the death of
Mrs. Benham. This unhappy expires
sion, says the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle, has been applied, as though
it described a disease, only within a
few years, and it is still more recently
that the medical fraternity has fallen
into the slovenly habit of using it, in the
sense indicated. Now, it is the common
and convenient servant, not only of the
careless layman, who may not know
better, but Of physicians, who are
either in doubt as to the real cause of

accurate.

THE MAGNET IN SURGERY.
UsefuI in Drawing steel from the
Flesh.


A young laundress thrust a broken
needle into her right hand while wash
ing clothes. The needle having ilSap-
peared in the flesh, the surgeon, who
was consulted several days after the ac-
cident, refused TO perform an operation,
fearing lest he should be obliged to
make a number of incisionS amid the
ligaments of the articulation. TWO
months afterward, says Cosmos, the
girl lost the use of her right hand, and
the least movement of the fingers
caused her exquisite pain. Drs. 60
rinewski and Cerestin then determined
to extract the needle with the aid of
a magnet. drawing it into a fieshy re-
gion where an incision could be made
without danger. To cause this move
ment they chose a very feeble electro
magnet. But a difficulty arose; the
needle having entered point first 1t
would have to be drawn out backward,
the broken part in advance. The first
trial lasted two hours with short inter
walls for rest, without appreciable re-
suit Before the third trial, the girl
said that she felt pricking in the palm
of the hand near the place where the
magnet had been applied and where
the needle ought to appear. At the
ninth sitting, finally, the needle ap-
peared beneath the skin and came out
whole, broken end first, without pain
and without loss of blood. 1t fixed it
self to the pole of the electromagnetic.
and the young laundress was cured.
This result-the drawing of needle
through the flesh-is very remarkable.
In 24 hours after the first trial this
needle was extracted from the inside of
the hand, after lying there more than
two months.
