LtNOOLX , Neb. , July 23. Before
many of the business honaea had opened
up , flags from the public buildings were
t halt mast , the bolls were lolling and
the entire city was draped , in memory
for the silent man who had paisod away.
Small groups of men were standing
aronnd mourning the loss of their great
chief tnd rotating the stories of their
trials In the Gold. The faces of nearly
every cltlzoa manifested signs of some
bereavement or loss and oven the ordi
nary business Interests have been
restricted.
The cstlmato of the oxpensoa for the
connty this year , to pay the principal
and Interest of the bonded debt of the
connty ia 18GG , is placed at $4-1,720. On
the fust day of Jnno tills year there was
in the hand ) ol the connty treasurer 1)3-
lonaing to the sinking or bond fund , ever
$27,500. The unpaid taxes belonging to
thla fnnd which will ba paid In by the
first of January next will exceed $14,000.
On the firsl day of January , 188G , there
will bo In sinking fond , to bo used In the
payment of principal and Interest of the
bonded debt of 18GG , § 41GOO , ,
exclusive of the taxes levied
this year. In crdor to pay the
$44,720 it would bo ncootsity to ralao by
taxation thla year the sum of $3,100. A
levy of one-half mill on the dollar valna
tlon of the connty wonld prodnco $3,325 ,
which wonld bo $105 moro than the
amount required. A levy of five mills
will produce $32,257 , which la $2 ! ,137
moro than will bo required to pay the !
debts falling duo in 1880. Will the
county commissioner ! lUtc why this ex
cessive levy of fonr and ono-half mills is
made ? Is the money which rightfully
belongs to the people tafer In the bande
of the county treasurer or the money
sharks than with the people who toll for
It ) If the treasurer receives interest at
the rate of 4 per cent on this Idle money , ,
will ho turn It back to the county ?
Should any moro taxes ba levied
and collected than Is necessary to
moot the actual demands of the connty ?
This excessive levy Is not conOnod to the' '
bond fund. It can bo proved by conv
pntation that all the expenses cf this
county can bo paid , with the money ,
which will bo realized from a levy of (
cloven mil's on the dollar valuation.
What la this oxcesslvo and unnecessary
levy of nlno mills undo for ? Perhaps
Bormi of the gentlemen who are candl
dates for connty oflieos this fall will rise
up and explain this thing to the tolling
musses by a wave of the hand that it Is1
all right.

WONDERFUL CURES ,

Institution In ami IB Doing ,
A roporler'.for the BEE In the course-
his dally rambling , called yesterday a
the Medical and Surgical Institute corner
nor of Thirteenth and Capitol avenue
The Institution Is In charge of Dr. Me
Monamy , ono of Ooiaha'a most skillfn
and distinguished physicians , a porfoc
gentleman withal , and well fitted to ac
as a ruling spirit of the Institution.
The scrlbo had often heard baforo o
the institution , but uovor had boot
granted an opportunity of making s
thorough an Inspection of It as last night
Ho was astonished to note the great pro
portion to which the business has grown
the splendid facilities which are olToro
'or taking c ro of the patients , and tba
onoral homo like appearance of th
place which Is si manifestly lacking from
ho ordinary hospital or dispensary.
The Institute has In all fifty rooms
mo of its especial features being an ox
lollont hotel , which Is In charge
Messrs. Lawls & Son , of Council Bluffs
ho sphere of the institution , as it
lame Indicates , lies In the treatment
M diseases and the practice of the dlfii
inlt art of surgery.
In order to convince himself of the
practical benofita of the pabllc the re-
potter naked permission to bo shown
hrough the Institution on a tour of In
pectlon , in order that ho might for htm
elf converse with the patients obou
heir cases. The result waa wonder-
ul.
ul.Tho
The fmt patient mot was a woilthy
armer by the name of Unlatock , of Un
lertrood , Iown , who had been operated
u two weeks aga for a dleeajo which re
quired the most delicate of treatment.
Yesterday ho came over from Iowa for
the express purpose of eaylng that he
was entirely cured , and of thanking
Dr. McMenamy.
Mr , M. Noonan , of Lincoln , haa been
foi aoveral wecka under treatment. When
ho first came to the institute ho waa utterly
torly helpless , aa much ai es though
ho were an Infant. Ho had to bo carried
around from place to place , could not get
oil or on the bed , could not oven rise
from the chair. Under the treatment of
Dr. McMonamy ho has improved so that
ho on walk from place to place with only
the help of a cane , and frequently goes
from the third atory to the first , and In
fact needs no assistance whatever in per
forming the duties of his dally lifo. "J
feel perfectly confident , th it I shall be
neil In a short tlmo , thanks to Dr.
McMenamy" he said In answer to the
questions of the scribo.
Mr. William Joyce , of O'Neill , Nob. ,
was under treatment for a fracture of the
ankle. The original fractnre had been
so treated that the bones did not unite ,
and ho was a perfect cripple. Before he
came to Omaha ho waa told that nothing
could bo done for him. Under treatment
it the Institute , ho haa grown ao well that
: o can walk from place , to phai with a
cane. Ho will soon bo dlechargod cured ,
P. Bartell , of Persia , Iowa , came to
iho Institute three months ago , Buffering
from kldnoy disease of ten years stand
ing. Ho Is now at homo cured.
F. R. Talbot was a patient from Falls
City , who had broken his leg about las !
October and had since been the victim o !
gross malpractice at the bands of Ignorant
physicians. The parts of the broken leg
bad been unsklllfnlly adjusted , and
false joint had formed. The leg has been
opened by Dr. MoMenamy , the proper
jointing of the broken bones made and
when Mr. Talbot conversed with the reporter
porter ho seamed very bright and hope
ful of ultimate recovery.
A Mr , Lang , of Persia , Iowa , came to
the Institute perfectly blind , ao that he
had to be led. A short tlmo slnca he
iras discharged , wonderful to say , in the
enjoyment of good eyesight. Mrs. J. B.
Goltzman , of York , reports , after two
months , that she has boon perfectly cured
of piles of two years standing. Mrs. C
B. Nelson , the wlfo of the Tenth attoot
land agent , who for years has been a con
firmed invalid , and haa sought In vain
for advlco from the boat physicians ol
America and Europe , has boon for a few
trooks undergoing treatment at the
Institute. She ia Improving greatly
and yestordiy for the first tlmo ia
months went out riding. A , T. Gowo , of
Lincoln , for whose son Dr. McMonamy
bad a brace made , writes that the brace
acts to perfection and that his son is pro
gressing favorably toward recovery.
A number cf other wonderful things
wera noted by the scrlba the detailing ol
which cannot bo Indulged In for lack of
time and ipaco. Suffice It to say that It
would well repay anyone to take a trip
through the Institute , for many Interest
ing revelations wonld bo made to him.
In connection with the Institute , Is run
a braoomaklng eetabllHhrnont , whera all
sortl of braces and surgical appliances are
manufactured. The manufactory Is the
only ono of Us kind In the west , and Is In
charge of a skillful and experienced art !
san.
san.Tho Institution since Its opening last
fall has treated 1,810 cases and many
dlfilcnlt and delloat operations have been
performed within Its walls. It is doing
well , and certainly deeorvos to , as It It
Qrjtchsi in every particular. As a slight
evidence of Hi prosperity and the general
desire to do everything for the patients
which actuates the management , It may
pa mentioned that Dr. McMonamy has
| uit paid ? 5UO for a splendid span of
lories which are to bo used in oonnec
tlon with the Institution.

Iho U. & O.'a 13IK Job.
Philadelphia S pecial.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has go
a big job on its hands. It haa won it
great fight to secure an entrance Into the
city , and all that It needs to complete Iti
chain Is the right to build a bridge across
the Schuyklll. But the work of making
a road-bed will be no email task. It hat
got to tear down buildings and condemn
private property right and loft. Proba
bly It will cost the road something Ilka
$10,000,000 before it gets comfortably
settled.
The road la to outer the city through
the sparsely Battled extremities of West
Philadelphia , and hopes to cross the
Schuyklll not far from the oil Grey's
ferry bridge , which carries the Penney !
vnnla road's ' freight cars to the old pas
uonger station of the Philadelphia , Wil
mington and Baltimore railroad on Broad
street , a mile or more south of Cheatnnt.
Having crossed the river to the east side ,
It has the right of way along the bank.
The wharf property , which consists prin
cipally of lumber , coal and marble-yards
and Ico-houaes , Trill be about destroyed.
Of course the land along the bank to
Chestnut street Is nearly level , and there
fore little grading will bo required , bnt
the road has got to cut a irldo strath
along Us path , and pay well for It. At
Chestnut street the main depot Ia to be
located , tnd plans are being drawn for
It. The first street east rf the Sohuyl
dll Is Twenty-fourth. Eventually the
road expects to take the whole tquare
between Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth streets , and probably from Chott
nut to Walnut.
Pausing under Chestnut and Ma ket
itroots the road ia to skirt the rlvor nntil
t reaches the park. Hero the Reading
railroad trocka are not only unalghtly bnt
dangerous to all drivers into the park.
Cho main entrance Is at Green atroetand
every afternoon carriages roll In by the
nmdrods. Tboy are obliged to cross the
network of tracks. As tbo Baltimore
Ohio Is to use the Reading system In tbo
oliy , It will bo obliged tosink these tracks
and tunnel , ( or a long distance , When
this work is done an unsightly object
will be removed , but It la going to cost
in enormous sum.
Having struck the Reading tracks , the
now read will have the Reading depots at
Thirteenth and Cnllowhlll and Ninth and
Qroen streets to fall back npsninad
dltlon to its Immense station ac Twenty
ourth and Chestnut. The reading runs
ta Now York trains from Ninth and
jiroeti. The people who have boon man-
tglng tbo Baltimore and Ohio campaign
uforo the city councils expect'to got
nto running order by the first of next
rear. But the job is of such magnitude
; hat It Ia vorg doubtful if the promise can
30 kept.
Although the road has got an entrance
( nto Philadelphia , It la threatened with
more trouble before It taps Now York ,
None of the trunk lines want another
read. Vandorbllt does not want It any
more than the Erlo or Pennsylvania ,
Uoadlng Is about bankrupt. Its leased
Jersey lines have no money. Between
Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania tbo
compact between tbo Baltimore it Ohio
and Reading , by which the Baltimore
people expect to roach New York , may
yet fall. This Is said to be their plan.
In suoh nvent the Baltlmora must build
to Now York and take Its chances for
'terminal ' facilities. The fight la not over
Western Lines In u New I'ool.

NuwYonK , July 3. The Sun's specie
jiu London says : The Osborno homo
3owo , and whole of the Isle of Wight an
: rowdod with royal personages , foreign min
store knd German princollnps , assembled to
io honor to the wedding of 1'rlncoss Beatrice
, nd 1'rinco Henry , of Battenburjr , to-clny.
The Prlnco and Princess of Wales have with1
rawn from the burly burly on the shore and
no spending their time on board the royal
acht Ojborno which In anchored off Cowoi.
nlhotonn of Cowea and at the Uiborne
louse , is a tremendous amotint of noise , bus
Io and confusion. The Inns are crowded with
ourists and suites of nobles , ( inns are being
red almost continously In honor of tha arri
al of more or less august personages and
liurch bells hnvo boon ringing al. .
ay to express popular joy. The joy
a already half distracted the residents
nil it ia expected they will lese their
Its entirely by the close of thu day. The
ilo of Wight volunteers done obeisance to
'rince Henry by begging him to accept the
colonelcy of their battalion , and n silver
sword. The young prince , who , by the way ,
Is only n junior lieutenant In his own country ,
'graciously ' accepted the ollico and the gift.
'All ' vessels in the bay Including ; innumerable
jyachts are gayly decorated with bunting. The
Jwoather In pleasant but warm , and there IB
every prostiest of favorable weather for the
'present. ' The list of guests invited to the
{ wedding does not includu any Americans.
| The Herald's cable naye ; The Isle of Wight
Is like that fanciful island described by the
'poet ' laureate as "Sown with happy fairies
and with holiday. " The Isle of Wigh : is
Iproud that within n few hours will occur the
last Victorian wedding that can over bo celo
rbntecl. The cpromony will take place at St. ,
Mildred's , WhippinRham , mx miles north of
Newport City. It is the first wed
ding in the quoen'd family that has had its
altnr outside of royal precincts. AH the sis
.tors . and brothers of Princess ISoatrlco were
married either at St. James or Windsor pal
ace , except the lamented Princess Alice , who
was arriod at Oaborno House , adjacent to
Whippiogham. The absence from n royal
prcinct , perhaps , befits the station of
the bridegroom , Prlnco Henry of
lUtonberg , wherever that Is , for ha is no far
below the chemical standard of royal blue
blood that the bride's brother , the prloca of
Wales , and royal dukes , mildly remonstrated
against her mesalliance , and her sister and
brother-in-law of Germany , sanctioned ry
th'ir empress mother , declined to be present' '
at the ceremony , or allow their children to
join their cousin as bridesmaids. The bride
groom la substantially a morganatic eclon of n
poor German family. Hu military pay , i'400,1
together with a paternal allowance of JL'JoO
annually , reminds one of what the Into John
Brown said , comirenllng on the marriage of
the duchess of Albany nithPiinca Leopold ,
" 'Tis ' agrandiug landing lassee. " But it is
match of sentiment ; indeed , ono of
love at first tight , nurtured by time
and confirmed by maternal sympathies. If , '
therefore , Princess Beatrice yields up nmui-5
tious aims and continues to lead a quiet do-i
mestic lifo by tlio side cf a lovely husbinciS
near her queen mother , whose lifo she always , !
cheered , who then ought to say a word agains
her choice ? This wedding will always be re
markable for omissions. Gkdatono , mindfu
of the snub he received In his own omission at
the Duke of Albany's wedding , declined to bt
present at this event. Lord Salisbury , th <
irst bearded premier in a long series of cabi
nets , Is a guest without the marchioness and
n a seat of honor. Uis only cabinet associ
ates are tbo Earl of Iddesleigh , Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach and Sir Rich Cross , all wifelesi
also. The late cabinet is represented onlj
) V Lord Burlington , and Karl Granvlllo.
The only ambassador ia Count Munater , ropre
sentlng too queen's son-in-law and daughter ,
of Germany. Lord BeaconsGeld's memory
a regarded by the presence of Lord Kowlou ,
Tnese really represent the outalde private list
of the quien and the bride's Intimate friends ,
These were all in their places and at half an hou
past noon by command of the queen , a mode
if social punctuality , Oiborno opened its cus-
omary mysterious gates and the procession
of royal guests in ordinary and not in car
riages of state , beoiuee it is not a state wed
ding , moved through lanes for a mile or so ,
Che hedges and field * along the route were

or teats upon raised platform ! . No sooner
