Seven years ago the State Of Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute Of Chicago charter.
There was need Of something above the ordi-
nary method Of treatment for chronic diseases,
something moro than any one specialist or any
number Of specialists acting independently
could do, so tho State itself, under the powers
granted Ii by its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would mako them well and strong.
EYer since its establishment this Institute has
endeayored In every possible way to carry out
the original purposes Of its establishment under
the benefcient laws Of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity In the treatment
Of certain phases OF disease. created under the
superntendence Of its staff of specialists an
electric belt, and this belt has been proved to be
of great value as curative agent. From time
to time 1t has been improved until 1t reached
that stage of perfection which warranted Its

CAPT. OBERLIN M. CARTER.
He is a Model Prisoner. and Assigned to
Hospital Duty,

Geo. s. Wheeler, one of the guartls AT
the Leavenworth Penitcntiary, says:
Capt. o. NJ. Carter is a. model pris-
Oner. He has never caused any trouble,
and like other prisoners of good behavior,
he will receive five days Communication of
sentence for each month of his term.
He was sent to Leavenworth for FIVE
years, and his Communication will amount
to about 10 months. He is treated the
same as any other prisoner, having no
more privileges than the lowliest convict
who Obeys the regulations. He shares the
same kind Of rations and wears the same
kind of clothes as those of the second
grade.
''1here are three classificatiOns in the
prison. The TRUSTEES or short-term men
who are allowed to go outside the prison
walls, wear blue uniform with stamp
of the prison upon each garment. The
second class wear uniform of gray, and
Il third class. those who commit infrac-
tiOns of the rules, and who have caused
trouble, are obliged to don the stripes.
Garter belongs to the second class. and
this is no doubt according to his liking.
for he prefers to remain in the prison
rather than be sent out where it would be
humilating for him to come in contact
with officers of the army post who were
his former official associates.
.'They ignore him entirely now, and
when any of them are brought into con-
tact with him there is no more recogni-
ton than with the ordinary prisoner, the
Indian or outlaw who comes up from In
dian Territory. Should any officer show
him any attention he would be subjected
to court-martial. This at first was no
doubt embarrassing to Carter. and still is.
but he has become more accustomed to it.
Garter is now assigned to the hospital
division of the prison, does the clerical
work there, and acts as 4 sort of steward
to the physician in charge. In addition,
he supervises the work upon the lawn sur
rounding the hospital and looks after the
flower beds and the plants. He works
the same rs other prisoners, and is shown
no cOurtesies.
He obtained that position only because
he is man of ability. and the work which
he does requires one of some intelligence.
He was formerly employed in clerical
position in the repair department. He
now has ward in the hospital, which is
slightly better than the ordinary prison
cell. but this is the only privilege he has
''The rule Of silence prevails in Leav-
enworth, and in consequence Carter has
had but little opportunity to talk save
when he is spoken to by one of the at
tendants or guards. He has. however,
of late manifested much interest in the
flight Of Greene and Gaynor and the ex-
tradition proceedings"
