OIL SPECULATION.

The appointment of a receiver for one
of the boom oil companies at Topeka,
Kas brings 10 mind some clrcum-
stances connected with oil fields in
Kansas not so generally known in Me-
braska When the great development
in Kansas oil began about six years
ago some profitable wells were sunk
But the greater profits were in selling
oil stock, not in sinking wells The
Kansas boomers who had fai,ed
in the real estate imitation which pre-
ceded the panic of 1893 wakened up,
got down their maps and proceeded to
plat their defunct town sites into "oll
pools" For every profitable we'll there
were twenty corporations organized TO:
the purpose of selling stock. The pro-
moters went at the business system
aucally The population of the state
was classified, card catalogued. and
piled with the most alluring prospec-
fuses for investment in oil opportuni-
ties. School teachers and clerks were
the particular victims. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars Of the hard
earned savings of these classes were
swallowed up in moot holes and pro-
notcrs' expenses Men and women
were induced to leave good positions
and salaries to take up the business OF
selling stock to their friends. The
wider the acquaintance, the more yalu-
able the service, to the promoters of
the oil craze. One of these men, known
to q circle of literary friends in Ne
braska. was James p. Connolly, author
Of the Overland Stage Route For
about three years the Kansas school
ma'ams and clerks went on buying
Autographed shares in oil companies
Then the truth began slowly to perco-
late to the surface. The profits frorr
producing oil wells had been cnorm-
ously exaggerated. The chances of
| striking a producing well We're not IN
! favor of the investor in oil stocks
Rude the lesson Kansas learned tEat
| fortunes in oil were only for the very
| limited few; for others there was
nothing to be had but experience. AS
the Kansas investing public grew shy
the more ambitious oil promoters began
to extend their operations into outside
territory, seeking fresh focks Of sheep
| fit for the shearing. Some of these in
Nebraska will watch with personal in
terest present developments of the in
vestigation now going on in the courts

Then he's turned Prohibitionist!p

geons say turn into bone. Ire entire
staff of the hospital was present
The surgeons said that the operation
was one of the first of it's kind made
ir this country Professor Joseph
Farbes, Of the Flower hospital. and Dr.
C. H. Duncan, chief house surgeon OF
ST. Gregory's hospital, who perfe fmed
the operation, assisted by Drs. DAVID
and Payne, said that without DOUBT
it will be success
"When the boy was brought TO the
hospital Dr. Duncan said, 1T was
found that he was suffering from
tuhcrcular bone in the forearm. De-
composition had set in. To prevent
the loss Of the use of the arm and the
complete removal of the bone we de-
cided 10 bring the bone wax into use.
An X-ray will be used daily to watch
the progress of healing.
Heretofore" continued DR.. Duncan.
"in cases Of this kind, where the bone
is excised. the limb becomes useless,
Bone wax was discoxered by Ger
man scientist ten years ago, and has
been used in Vienna. The bone wax

stance will gradually disappear, Ieav-
ing the arm in it's normal condition.
"An operation Of this character, Dr.
Duncan said, "is interesting, because
Of it's innovation and utility. 1t has
been demonstrated beyond doubt that
healing can be brought about in places
where tissues in mass have been de-
| stroyed and cayeity exists. Cayeities
have been filled with various substnces,
| provided the wound is sterile, and new
| formation Of tissue has been the result.
| New vessels will push their way into
| the materials; new connective Tissue
| fibers will pierce it, till finally the for
eign substance has been completely alb
sorbed and the place it occupied is
filled with animal tissue. Dr. Moorhof,
Of Vienna, who discovered the bone
wax found that where it was used IN
the case of complete loss of heel bone
new heel bone was formed, Which has
been demonstrated positively by the
| X-ray.
"X-ray pictures of the bone in the
boys arm have been recorded, and
when healing is over new photographs
will be taken. We have every reason
to believe that in this selected case our
endeaveors to form new bone will be
successful

THE DRUG TRADE.

One of the remarkable statements
made by representative of the drug
trade before q legislative committee
last winter was that 80 per cent of the
prescription business of Nebraska
druggists had been lost by them dur
ing the past few years. Physicians
who formerly sent their patients t.
the drug store now carry their own
stock of drugs and prepare their oNn
prescriptions. The drug representative
afterwards modified this statement by
saying that it did not apply to the
larger cities Of the state where the
physicians are too busy to act as phar
macists But in all the smaller cities
and villages he insisted that it was
true and marked a great revolution IN
the relations Of doctor and druggist
and in the profits of the drug trade. i
was asked what was the cause Of this
revolution and several reasons were
suggested One Of them was from the
physicians side of the case-that with
the advent of more scientific medical
treatment, better trained practitioners,
new and delicateiy made prepara-
tions and kaener competition in medi
cal practice there had arisen the neces-
sity for greater purity and uniformity
of material for prescription. In the av-
erage country drug store tiers
was a disposition to shirk these
requirements and that in order
TO secure exact results the coun-
try doctor had been forced to turn
druggist. The drug store side of The
case was presented by man who re-
marked that growing friction had de-
veloped because a great many physi-
clans came to think they owned the
drug store where they sent their pre-
scriptions to be filled-helping them
selves to all sorts of goods for theil
own use, not excepting cigars and spir.
| titus frumenti Whatever ther cause i
was agreed that the doctor and drug
! gist are at outs.
| The representative of the drug trade
went on to argue that the country
druggist, having lost his prescription
business, found his sole remaining staff
| to be the patent medicine trade, which
made 90 per cent Of his remaining bust
ness. From this data it was urged tha
pure food legislation which would de-
stroy the patent medicine profits woul;
leave the druggist without means O
existence and close up large per cen
Of the eleven hundred Nebraska drag
| stores.
