A RzPoRrER's STORY.


The late L. W. A. Railroad was TO be
opened, and 1 had been detained to
write it up. When 1 left the city took
with me, beside the conventional travel
ing bag, my hshing-rood and book Of
fies, for had determined to have at
least one days trouting in the compare
tive wilderness which lies about the
northern terminus of the new road.
The " "opening" passed off in the or
thodox manner, with 9 good deal Of
talking about the undeveloped resources
Of the country, q speech BY the oldest
inhabitant, who had settled at Shebano
when there "warn't q house nigher-'n
thirty mile" and q regular country
spread in the school house.
A slightly metaphorical report had
been dispatched for the Office, and ! felt

EArTNd-DYsPKPsIA.-It Is an old
German adage that more people dig
their own graves with their teeth than
with spades, and verify it will seem 30
if we would look at the immense num-
Der of dyspetics, rheumatics, and gouty
individuals creeping through life in
pain and wretchedness. Yet it is next
TO impossible 10 induce even thinking
people tn control their apoetites, and to
eat such things and NJ such times as
nature shows them il necessary and
right. DIR. Hall declares, unhesitatingly,
that it is wrong TO eat without an appe-
tite, for il shows there u no gastric
Juice in the stomach, and that nature
does not need food, and, not needing It,
there being no fluid to receive and act
upon it, it remains there only TO pu.
trify, the very thought Of. which should
be sufficient TO deter any man from eat
ing without an appetite the remainder
of his life. If tonic is taken to whet
the appetite, it il . mistaken course, for
its only result is to cause one TO eat
more when already an amount has been
eaten beyond what the gastric juice Is
able to prepare. The object to be OBJ
Iained Is . large supply of food; and
Whatever fails to accomplish that essen
tial object, fails to have any efficacy to-
ward the cure Of dyspeptic diseases.
The formation Of gastric juice is directly
proportiOned to the wear and tear Of
the System, which is TO be the means of
supplying, and this wear and tear can
only take place as the result Of exercise.
The efficient remedy for dyspeptics is
work-out-dOor vork-benehcial and
successful in direct proportion as It is
agreeable, interesting and profitable.

We do not assert that woman is abso-
lutely fixed in her love and loyalty; but
she is such compared to man. We're she
a hundred times less stable than she ia
he still might honor her in that as his
infinite superior. Love, to her. means
loyalty, engrossment, dedication. She
is liable to deceive herself; she is far
more liable to be deceived. But when
she gives, without reserve or stint, the
wealth of her affection, she plays the
prodigal to the last, unless his conduct
stirs her to count the cost. The law OF
her being is not to swerve where her
heart leads the way; nor will she, save
exceptionally. Too often, however, her
faithful heart is driven back by him who
summoned it from the frst-driven
back by neglect, Indifference, rejection;
and to shield himself, he calls his cold
ness or his cruelty her inconstancy. He
is industrious in finding faults in her
that will excuse his own. He says she
is fckle-inconstant. She cannot COM
prehend how or why she is 80, though
she has not the boldness to dissent from
what she hears on every hand. She dis
covers in him extraordinary lapses from
loyalty, violated pledges, sundered ties.
These are not natural to her; but as she
her teachers say-was born incon-
slant, he cannot be so, surely. Her di-
vergence from him helps her in her un-
righteous self-condemnation Her look
ing OF herself through his eyes dwarfs
his defects, and exaggerates her own.
He is her counsellor and casuist; he
always puts her in the wrong, and gra-
ciously pardons her fer the sin he has
committed. No marvel her logic is per-
picked; that her ethics are bewildered.
For such is mans power over woman
that while he knows his charges against
her are unfoundedy he eompels her to
believe in their truth.

FISH THAT BUILD NEsTs.-AmonR
the curiosities in Fulton Market, New
York, is q stickleback, comfortably liv-
ing in an aquarium. The popularity Of
this little fish is its custom Of building
. nest of bits of vegetable matter, in
which the female deposits her spawn.
The nest is fixed at the bottom Of the
stream, among the aquatic plants. Ths
male watches over it with jealous care,
tanning it with its fms to secure purity
of the water and exclude sediment. 4
any one Of the young escapes, he takes
it in his mouth and replaces it in The

A Young Woman Outraged by an
EXDreSSmans

Maggie Ann Schaeffer is poorly clad
and simple-minded woman of about
twenty years, who left Omaha last Tues
day morning for this city, where she in
tended to hunt a place to work as a
domestic.
She arrived in this city at midnight
last night on the l., q. q l.. Railro ad.
Naving the depot she started on her
way up town, not knowing exactly
where she was going.
just as she crossed Plum street two
men accosted her and wanted to know
if she had any baggage to have taken up.
She answered no, and was about to pur-
sue her way.
In few minutes the men, after hur-
ried conversation together, the purport
of which she was unable to catch, took
hold Of her, and, despite her struggles
and smothered screams, lifted her from
the ground and hustled her into an ex-
press wagon which stood near.
One of the men then jumped on the
drivers seat and whipped up the horse,
and started in the direction of the Ham
ilton & Dayton depot. Turning north
from Fourth street, the wagon was
driven into Webb alley, between Stone
and Wood street, where it came to a
halt.
One of the men who had taken a posi-
tion in the rear end OF the wagon, where
was seated the covering and
almost paralyzed girl, suddenly
pulled a revolver from his clothes and
catching Miss Schaeffer round
the waist threw her on the
bottom OF the wagon, and by threaten
ing to blow her brains out if she
did not stop screaming, and forcibly vio-
lated her person. The poor girl was
powerless in the wretch's hands, as he
held the muzzle Of the pistol in her tace
and compelled her to submit.
AS soon as the dastardly deed was
committed the girl was rudely thrust
into the street, and the men drove off.
She groped around the streets more
dead than alive until early this morn
ing, when she applied to Squire
John Anthony for assistance in caus-
ing her assailants' arrest. She was
referred to the Chief of Police, who,
hearing her pitiful story, at once gave
instructions to a trusty officer to
hunt up the miscreants and bring them
to justice, Miss Schaeffer in the mean
time being given temporary lodgment at
the Home of the Friendless.
