Some days ago q women with two
children got of o train at Council Bluffs,
and found the train which she desired
to take was gone. She had but s. and
1t required $3.50 to take her to her desti.
nation. She went to bed at the Transfer
hsuse, without supper. hoping thereby
to save enough to pay her fare home. Be.
fore the breakfast hour next morning, she
asked how much the charges were for h,r
lodging, with q view Of ascertainins
whether she could afford to take breakfast
or not. The clerk said the charges were
81, and 1t would make no difference
whether she took breakfast or not. She
demonstrated that il compelled to pay
for meals she did not eat she would not
have enough to buy a ticket. but the
clerk was obdurate, and finally q big
hearted brakeman stepped up and gave the
woman enough out of his scanty earnings
to take her home, after which he gave vent
to his indignation by cursing the small
souled clerk, which caused the police to
interfere. Heaven will not be crowded

THREATENING A TAILOR.
Ira Henstead Arrested In Omaha for
Blackmail.

An attempt to extort money from
L, Harris, merchant here, by making
malicious threats, came to q head last
night by the arrest Of Ira B. Henstead,
In Omaha, by Edgerton. 1t Is claim.
ed that the wife of Frank Crow, of
Blue Jay notoriety, told Harris that
some stolen money was planted here
back of the Blue Barn, and got Harris
to go dig 1t up. He could not
find any SUCH money. He recently
received a letter from Henstesd, charg-
ing him with having got the money
and insisting on his sending the
amount, $l60, to Omaha. A decoy
registered letter was sent from here.
The woman applied for the letter.
but 1t was refused her. She said
Henstead was her husband and he was
In the Bluffs, and she would have to
send for him. Hensted went over to
Omaha, and when he applied for the
letter Edgerton nabbed him. He
refused to come to this city without a
requisition, and was lodged In the
county jail there.

ON THE TRAIL.

while on the way to the station to pre-.
vent his dropping any goods he might

getting him inside searched him
thoroughly, but could find moth
Ing. He then remembered of the fell

that he has just served a term in the
peDitentiary at Lincoln, Neb., and
that he was one Of Jim Middleton'e
notorious gang,
A man by the name of Jones, liv.
Ing at Tabor, Iowa, has known the
man Kempton, he having lived In
that place some time ago. II was
through this man Jones that the case
hos been worked up 80 far. Jones
was met by Kempton, who offered to
sell him q watch and chain to get
money enough to got out OF town
Jones refused to buy, and after part
ing with him his suspicious were
aroused that possibly the jewelry was
q part of that stolen. He looked
back after the man and noticed that he
disappeared from sight in the vicinity
Of the Deere building. Jones noticed

notified the police. From Jones
description Of Kempton the latter was
found and arrested.
Yesterday q search was made to
ASCERTAIN 4 where the vallse WAS. After
some hunt it was found secreted near
the Deere building, and it was found
to be full of jewelry, which has been
identified AZ belonging to the TenDey
stock. The plunder thus recovered
amounts to several hundred dollars,
but does not include all that was taken
from Tonney's store.
There was also found In the valise
powder and drills, indicating that safe
blowing was not an unknown art to
the owner Of the grip.
The public are still on the hunt and
hope to be able to recover the rest Of
the property and to capture whoever

A Whole Family Found Insensib!e
Owing TO Goal Gas.

Charles Rice, the tailor on Main
street, and his family, had a narrow
escape from death by asphyxls on
Sunday last. The coal stove In
their sleeping apartment let out gas
during the night In such quantities
that, as they slept, they fell Into more
and more of q stupor, until by morn
log they were in q condition where
life seemed to have wholly fed.
II was u mere chance that their
condition was discovered In time to
resuso!tste them. Mr.. Rioe's brother.
in.law called at the house, and not
being able to arouse anyone he be.
game suspicious that something was
wrong, and, forcing an entrance,
found Mr.. Rice and his wife and little
wo-month.old babe in bed in an sp.
parently l~ifeless condition.
DR.. Cook was summoned, and, after
much effort, succeeded In resuscitating
them. The babe was not 80 nearly
gone as Mr.. Rice and wife, the little
ones face being covered by bed
clothing, and this somewhat protected
1t from the gas.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rice will suffer for
several days from the effect of the

be private. In almost every instance
of hanging, the man to be hung,
tells the public that he is going
straight to heaven; going to swing off
the gallows into glory. This is in
effect, saying that the shortest road
to heaven and everlasting happiness
is through the murderer's cell. Such
an example is not calculated to de-
ter Others from committing crime.
1t causes bad effect by reducing
mans estimate of human life; and it
hardens and brulalizes him. Ii peo-
pie will let their curiosity over-rule
their better natures, then let us have
law to prohibit them from going
where nothing but evil and injury to
themselves can be gained, 1t is the
duty of the press to cry down all
that is known to promote evil and
crime among the human race, and it's
the duty of the lawgivers to give us
laws not merely to punish crime, but
laws that will have moral tendency
to prevent it.-V Viudicator.

Disappointment.

There is nothing more painful to
man than to be disappointed in those
whom he trusted, and often his heart
is called upon to experience it where
it least expected it, friends whom he
has served with all his ability, whom
he counciled in veal and woe, at
whose bed he stood in time of sick
ness and pain, they forget all, when
we need them for even the smallest
service. On the contrary, those
whom we have served most hate us
best, and inwardly rejoice when mis-
fortune overtakes us, and at last
we exclaim with David "They
pay me with evil instead of good,
and bring bereavement upon my soul.
When / am in trouble they have no
heart. They speak not peace, though
they open wide their mouth" Aha!
at last our eyes have seen it. Even
the great Moses experienced it when
his own people sore tried him, and
he exlaimed: "They are a stiifneck-
ed people," He had lost in mo-
ment his belief in the eternally good
in man and we are told on account
ofthis slandering the "whole people"
he was not permitted to enter the
promised land.
1t is often very difficult not to lose
faith in humanity, when we are call
ed upon to witness mans malice,
narrowness, cruelty, want of charac-
ter and vulgarity, and thus the hu-
man heart that at first appeared to
us like a beautiful garden full of
fragrant flowers and golden fruit,
has become the playground for ugly
bugs, disgusting worms, destroying
rose and violet.
Nevertheless it is not true that
man is bad. Men, individuals, are
corrupt, selfish, unforgiving, heart
less, but the soul of man, created by
divine hand, never will lose its d.
vine origin and its God, like impulses.
And in judging man we must be
charitable and exercise pity, and try
to find extenuating reasons for his
reprehensible acts Rabbi l..

mer Has.

Farming is slow way to make
money, but then there is a law Of
compensation about everything in
this life, and farming has its bless
ings that other pursuits do not have.
The farmer belongs to nobody. He
is the freest man upon earth and the
most Independent. He has more
latitude and longitude. He has a
house in the country with plenty of
pure air and good water. If he
makes but little in the field, he has
no occasion to spend but little. He
can raise his own hogs, and sheep,
and cattle and chickens. His wood
costs nothing, and the luxury of big
back-logs and blazing fires in open
firc-places all winter long is some
thing that city people long for, but
cannot afford. My own farm cost
me $1,000. have 120 acres of open
land in good condition, and it yields
me on an average about five dollars
an acre over all expenses. Say nine
per cent. upon the investment. Well,
that is mighty little, considering my
own labor and supervision. I've
seen the time when l made five
times as much without any capital
except my head. But then we have
to keep pair Of horses to ride around
and they have to be fed from the
farm.
There are little leaks all around,
but still we are happier on the farm
than we were in the town, and feel
more secure from the ills of life. We
fear no pestilence or disease, no bur-
glars or thieves. We lock no doors,
and Mrs. Arp has quit looking under
the bed for man. / love to hear
the churn dasher splashing in the
buttermilk, ] love to hear the
roosters crow and the peacock holler,
and see the martins sailing round the
martin gourds. l love to hear a
neighbor stop and chat about the
growing crops. / love to take the
children with me to the watermill
and fish below the dam amid the
roar of falling waters, or paddle
around the pond in an old leaky ba-
teau. l love to wander through the
woods and glades, and wear old
clothes that can't get no older or
dirtier, and get caught in a shower
of rain if | want to. Old man Horace
remarked about 1000 years ago that
the town was the best place for a
rich man to live in, and the country
was the best place for poor man to
die in, and inasmuch as riches were
uncertain and death was sure, it be-
comes prudent man to move to the
country as soon as he can get there.

IT seems that in this age of civili-
zation and christianity that it is about
time to stop public executions.
AT the hanging of the four train
robbers at Clarksville, last Friday,
there were thousands of people at
tracted to the place by morbid Gu
riosity, without thought of the injury
they were doing themselves and their
children. They had no thought of
the danger of heat and poisoned air,
no thought of the danger of contract
ing and spreading contagious dis
easer, nor no thought of causing
death. Even women were there, to
suffer and faint from heat and ex-
haustion, and some were there with
little babes, exposed to the burning
rays of the sun, while the mercury
was up to near hundred degrees.
One child was known to die of heat
and suffocation, and how many more
of all ages will sicken and die from
that same cause, none but the Ruler
of the Universe only knows. Did
any one of that great mass of human
beings stop to think that they were
transgressing the laws of natures
God? Did they think that they
might be guilty ofsuicide or Indirect
murder? The robbers did not intend
to murder any one, nor did those
parents intend to, when they crowd
ed their children where heat, poison
air, and suilocation killed them.
But there is still another and
greater reason why executions should

Are the Louisiana Lottery
Drawings Fair.

The two commissioners who su-
perintend their singie-number draw
ings, when interviewed on the sub
ject, reluctantly admitted that the
numbers which were placed in the
tubes and put in the wheels were
only counted TWICE A YEAR. They
draw the lottery every month. Is
not this a bare faced fraud? Their
excuse is that it would take ten
days labor, with four assistants.
How, then, can any ticket buyer in
this lottery know that the number
on his ticket has corresponding
number in the wheel? If they de-
sire an honest drawing, why do they
not on the day of and just before
their drawings, allow the ticket
holder the privilege of calling out
his number and see that 1t is placed
in the wheel so he can have some
chance of its being drawn out with
a prize from the other wheel? Other
lotteries have done so. Under their
system, why don't they make their
capital 81 100000? They might as
well. Is not the published list of
winners in their lottery also fraud?
1t is very easy for few dollars to
get persons who are willing to let
them use their names as the holders
of big prize. Is it any longer
wonder how they controlled the

What lie Pays for Impure
and poisoned Water.

The beer or spirit drinker is wont
to look with i'll concealed contempt
upon the water -drinker, and as he
tosses off his glass he has just paid
his money for, imagines that he has
swallowed something far better and
performed an action far more sensi-
Bile. Yet, if be would stop but for a
moment to ask what he had just TAX
en-, he might think quite differently.
Let us see. A barrel of beer con-
tains about 500 glasses. The seller
gives $500 for it and sells it for 5
cents per glass. or s25. His profit is
2l5 per cent. The drinker drops in
ten times per day and takes his glass
of beer; in so days he has consumed
the 500 glasses and s25 therefor.
Scientific men say that in 500 glasses
of beer there are AGO glasses Of mere
water, % glasses ofpure alcohol and
l5 glasses of gums and extracts. So
the beer drinker has paid s23 for
AGO glasses of water, and impure at
that, which he could have had at the
nearest spring for nothing, and as
pure as nature made it. He has had
in addition, 20 glasses of pure alco-
hol, which is apoison at enmity with
every function of the system, no food
or heat producer-and besides all
this, he has taken 10 glasses of OK
tracts Of malt, sugary matter, indi-
gestable gums, etc, etc. Surely
there is no absurdity 80 absurd. To
pay $23 for AGO glasses of impure
water, when he could have had it
pure for nothing, and 50 for 40 glass
es of poison and mostly indigestible
drugs! But it pays the brewers and
the saloon-keepers to sell water at
2l5 per cent, advance on all their
trouble of barreling and bottling it.
