A Black Theft.

The Leavenworth Times Lansing,
Kansas, correspondent thus describes
what may not inappropriately be called a
black theft. The DR.. Nealley is our own
Trego county physician, who is the
physician at the state penitentiary at
Lansing:
A negro boy about twelve years of age
went to the drug store of George +.
Nealley, and behold, Mr.. Nickells, the
druggist, was in the dining room eating
supper, and as there was no one in the
store, the boy helped himself to the can
dy and tobacco, then slipped to the
money drawer, and as the drawer had no
combination attached to it, the boy
opened and ransacked it of its contents,
which was 81 cents. It seems that Nick
ellis had taken the money out of the
drawer previous to sitting down to sup
per, except the 81 cents, which was found
in the boys pocket. As the boy had &C
complished his purpose, Mr.. Nickells
had got through eating and opened the
door and saw the boy standing behind
the counter and asked him what he was
doing there. The boy replied that he
was looking for him (Mr. Nickells.) It
seems that the boy squatted down and
laid his tobacco under the counter when
he heard the door open, and as Mr.. Nick
ellis spied the tobacco he suspected the
darkey had stolen it, SO the druggist
searched his pockets and found the 81
cents. After searching him he gave him
shake or two and kicked his pants and
told him to 90.

Very Remarkable Recovery.

Mr.. Geo. V. Willing, of Manchester
Mich, writes: "My wife has been almost
helpless for five years, SO helpless that
she could not turn over in bed alone. She
used two bottles of Electric Bitters, and
is SO much improved, that she is able now
to do her own work." Electric Bitters
will do all that is claimed for them. Hun
dreds of testimonials attest their great
curative powers. Only fifty cents bot

GOVERNMENTS AND STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Government
bonds dull and steady.
The stock marketgave promise OF some
Improvement in the early hours, but was
feverish and unsettled to large extent
although quotations advanced later. The
bidding up Of money to an extremely high
rate offered another opportunity to the
bears to vigorously raid prices
and decided stampede, bordering on
panic was the effect. In the last hour
the unsettled condition of New England
kept the market feyerish and Irregular
when 1t would have otherwise been firm
to strong. Southern specialtles by their
enormous declines, coupled with the sell
ing OF New England by Boston people,
We're the principal features of the
afternoon trading. The favorable factors
IN The situat on were the steady buying
TOT foreign account, which was specially
noticeable ia the forenoon, and the
further decrease in rates for sterling ex-
change. All such Influences, however,
counted for naught IN the rush to
sell in the afternoon. In the
morning there was some improve
INIT in Jersey Central on the an
nouncement that the Baltimore & Ohio
was now using the road under the CON
tract and the stocks bought by foreign
Peep were prominently str nC, incud.
Ing Erie and Louisville & Nashville. A
Boston party threw New England on tbs
market in large amounts, when it became
apparent the Central would pass into the
hands of New York party.
The opening was active and strong,
although there was an absence of the
usual rush at that time OF the day. TIE
advances over last evenings final figures
ranged from to &, though few stocks
showed slight declines. After some slight
hesitation an advance occurred GOV
erlng the greater part OF the
nrst hour. New Eugland broke
badly, however, and In many cases
under its influence the early gains were
lost. Toward noon the upward move.
ment was resumed, and at that time frac-
tlonal advances were general throughout
the list. In the afternoon, however, a
general decline took place, South.
ern stocks leading, which was
checked before 2 p. m. 4 fractional
rally was followed by renewed weakness.
In the last hour the decline became a
semi panic. About one.thlrd of the en-
Tire days business was transacted in the
last forty-tive minutes, and the market
closeu very active and weak at the lowest
prices of the day
RAILWAY BONDS.
NEW York. Dec. II Trading In rail-
road bonds was moderately active and
without special interest except in Texas
& Pacific incomes aud Denver & Rio
GraDde As. Total sales 81, 875 600.
Prices were generally heavy, although
there were some recoveries late In the
day, the movement at that time being
very irregular, and the final changes are
about equally divided between gains and
losses.

WACO, Tx, Dec. lf.-At the Noyem
Der election the people OF this county
voted on the question OF a free bridge
across the Brazos river at Waco, and the
free.brldge ticket carried the day by q
large majority. The installation Of new
set OF county commissioners now brings
up the question, and there is much In

missioners viii do There is a fine sus-
pension bridge spanning the river, which
is owned by corporation, and It's charter

that his company would erect bridge
across the BrazJs and take all chances oil
litigation This proposition did not come
directly from the company, and he ala
not know whether II could be relied on
or not. IL Is understood that a majority
OF the commissioners are against iree

move OF that sort without first giving the
matter due consideration, and this they
will do before any definite action Is taken
Capt. r. A. Blair, city attorney, has
