Our mothers, wives and daughters !
Home is not home at all without them.
Yet they may die and leave the house
silent and sad any day. Husbands
and fathers, a word in your ear. The
ladies are not always to blame when
they are low-spirited and "cross. :"
They are sick. Don't you be fools or
brutes and think they'll come out oil
right if you are only 'firnl' and mean
yourselves. Put bottle of DIR. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy on the
shelf, and tell them to use it. The
color will come back to the cheeks and
the laugh to their lips. Go and get it
at once down town, or mail One Dol

OF
ELI LANE
. +
LUNENBURGu.

AS there is SO much excitement and
talk about the disappearance Of Eli
Lane of this town, hive taken pLinS
to get at the truth Of this mysterious
case, and submit Che following facts
which 1 get from his children, and
others that heard his Lst words.
The subject of this sketch was born
in Lunenburgh, and always lived in
town. He WAS 81 years old he mar
ried at the age of p years, lived quiet
happy life; was a kind and obliging
neighbor, and an indulgent father OF
four children. Harrison, his Oldest son,
lives in this village having family
around him. Laura Jane, his second
child, married Ransom o. Smith, and
with them Mr.. Lane made his home.
To Mr.. Smith he decided his farm and
stock in consideration that Mr.. Smith
see himself and wife we'll provided for
through life, Mr.. Lane taking ample
mortgage back on the property to Sc
cure it. Mrs. Lane was sick at the time
the contract was completed, and she
died January Is, 1880, after long and
distressing illness. Mr.. Lane had also
two other children, one of which died
years ago; and the other, the young
est of the family, married Frank Gar
field of Newark, VT. Mr.. Smith, in
further payment of the farm was to
pay said Garfield, or his wife, $500 pay
able in annual payments of 500. Mr..
Garfield first wrote, and then came
and wanted the money all at once.
Some words passed between him and
the family that were not quite pleas
ant, and Mr.. Lane laying them to heart
was respondent and talked in a way
that denoted his intention to commit
suicide. His children, as they supposed,
changed his purpose by persuasion,
and he seemed cheerful and happy as
before.
This occurred in Manllst, and as it
seemed of little account, had nearly
passed out of mind, us in any way
likely to cause trouble. About the
middle of June, Mr.. Lane went out in
the morning, made a couple of calls,
and then went up to the top of Mt. Tug,
coming down on the other side, max
ing tramp of some four or five miles.
lie came home very tired, but the noxt
day went fishing to II brook where he
caught a good string of fish and came
home early. In the meantime, since
the death of his wife, he had earned
some SIS, which he gave his daughter
Mrs. Smith to take care of for him, in
tending, as he had expressed, to buy a
yoke of cattle and work for G. w.
King, on a dam which is to be built on
the Conn. river this fall. On the night
of July 8, his daughter noticed that he
did not rest well, and seemed talk
ing to himself much of the night,
and on the morning of the 10th, which
was the day he left, he did not seem in
usual health. lie however ate his
breakfast as usual, but after eating,
called for his money his daughter
telling him where it was, he found il
himself, and went about paying it out
as he desired, giving some to the min
listers, both Congregational and Metho-
dist, paying for the lot in which his
wife was buried, and leaving money to
pay for her grave stones-both of which
were debts of Smiths under the con-

The six Indians concerned in the no.

was telegraphed several days ago,a ar
rived In Omaha last night en- route TO
Fort Omaha, where they are consigned
for safe keeping pending their appear
ance before tho United States court In
this city. Hearing that there were sev-
eral interesting facts In relation TO
their arrest and transportation not yet
made known, q Herald man met them
On arriving on the G. 81 N. W. train
last evening and procured the following
information respecting them:
The party are in charge OF Lieut..
Beardslee and q detachment Of soldiers
Of the 9th infantry. The Indians were
headed by Chief Turning Bear who.
like the rest, knew no English, and an
interview was n difficult matter. How
ever, the lieutenant informed the re-
porter that the bucks had been arrested
by order OF the agent to chief Of police
Spotted Tail. 1t appears that old Spot
and his policemen got wind Of u scalp
dance being held near the agency by
some recently surrendered wild Indians.
A chief WINS detailed TO work up the
the case, and fall upon the authors Of
this work. The report received from
him was that a white herder was MUIR
dered and his herd captured. Arrests
were Immediately ordered, and n squad
of police ordered for the purpose. After
a long chase, In which one Of the In
dian policemen had TO FIRE on his own
nephew TO make him halt, the gang
was secured.
After their delivery to tho military,
| Lieut.. Beardslee was sent from Fort
Niobrara to Fort Randall, the nearest
railroad post, where they were confined,
pending instructions regarding the dis
position TO be made Of them. It was
finally decided TO bring the party to
Omaha, and n guard Of six men in
