Application was made to the district
court Yesterday for mandamus to COM
pei the registration of deed of
sale of real estate rmade by Thomas
Dietz to William Neuman. Neuman
claimed that the register of deeds re-
fused to receive warranty deed, ac-
companied by two deeds, a mortgage
and assignment attached as exhibits,
and the defendant would not record the
deed unless the words annexed exhib-
itS'' were stricken out. The Petition
ers base their action upon the fact that
they had no right to alter the body of
the deed.

The Japanese Like Big Noses.
Kansas City Times.

The presence in the city of Lee Mapano, Japanese, whose nose fur nishes him the means of earning live lihood-Mr. Mapano being a smeller of tea-recalls the fact that in Japan the nose is the only feature which at- tracts attention. The nose determines the beauty or the ugliness of face &C., cording as it is big or little. This is probably due to the fact that differ ence in noses constitutes about the only distinction between one Japanese face and another. The eyes are inva- riably black, the cheek bones high and the chin receding. In Japan a lady who has huge proboscis is always raging beauty and reigning belle. There are few large noses among the natives, and lucky indeed is he or she upon whom nature lavishes one. In all Japanese pictures representing supposedly beautiful women the artist turns himself loose on the nose.

At His Post Day and Night,

the vigilant imp, indigestion, goads us with his many dashed scourge. Each lash is diabolic symptom. No comfort in eating, misery afterwards, little or broken rest at night, visita- tions of the nightmare during fitful intervals of sleep, an uprising unre- freshed and without appetite, sleepi- ness and yawning during the day, nervousness and irritability of temper, even monomania in extreme cases. Hard to bear, all this. Necessaryl No! a thousand times no, so long as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the na- tion's specific for indigestion, acute or chronic, is procurable. The commence ment of course of this medicine is the commencement of cure. Prompt re- lief first, absolute eradication subse- quently. The truth of this statement, backed up by irrefragable testimony is we'll known to the American peo- pie. So are others, viz that the Bit ters averts and cures fever and ague and bilious remittent, and removes nervousness, biliousness, constipation, and kidney and bladder troubles.

In the Surgical Ward.
scribner's Magazine.

"Chloroform or ether, doctor?" "Start him with chloroform," is the response. A handkerchief moistened with the sickening sweet fluid is placed to the patients nostrils. "Long breaths !" calls the surgeon, and the patient tries to answer "All right !'' but his voice seems to him to step high, like the legs of drunken man. Now he hears an elevated train con- ing. It is run by electricity. Its roads are of white light. Every now and then it dashes past station, ,when bell rings. He is rushed aboard and on they go, faster and faster. The bells ring closer together. "Happy?" inquiries the surgeon. "Ye-es," an- swers the patient, with an effort. Happy" the surgeon asks again, and there is no answer. A blank, it may be of minutes, it may be of hours, then softness, warmth, con- fort? He is in the little country graveyard which he knew when 8 boy. He is sitting by his own body there. It is sunny, summer after noon. The birds are singing. And he can smell the odor of the pines as they stir in the breeze. Is this death? Then death is pleasant picture after all. But what is the nausea, the ex- cruciating pain? "Spit it out!" urges some one in a friendly tone. Spit out what, death2 An, the pain 1! and he is off into blankness once more. A moment of quivering and again the balance strikes. This time he half opens his eyes. "He's playing pos- sum-" whispers 8 doctor, and the patient resents the irreverence of the remark. He is too fresh from the graveyard vision to tolerate joking familiarity, and, therel he may be dead after all The pain again, and the blank, not so blank as before !! There are scattering thoughts striv- ing to assert themselves. He recog- nizes them, slowly, as a child stam- mers when it reads. "Yes-it is all right--it is all rightw he says to himself; and then, as if he saw it written in great capital letters, the thought confronts him, "This must be coming tov"

Santa Fe vestibule Trains.

The vestibule train is new factor in western railroad transportation. It is claimed for these trains that on ac- count of their being connected by steel hoods all danger of telescoping in case of accident is removed, the train being practically one long car. It is certain that the oscillation of the cars is greatly reduced, and it is also certain that the vestibule trains afford the greatest comfort yet known to travel CTS. The adoption of this style ot train by the Chicago, Santa Fe & Cal ifornia railway between Kansas City and Chicago, is strong bid for the passenger traffic between the west and Chicago. This new road is in many particulars ahead of any of its older competitors, and will undoubtedly be the popular road to Chicago.

 q shouldn't think it."
 "He's got two false teeth in front, I saw him take lem out. Them don't lock like regular whiskers to me, either. He's bad 'un or Pm no judge"
 It came to me in moment that the man inside was Ashman, and the next moment was planning how to ar- rest him. He was armed and des- perate man, but he would be far more dangerous with his pals back of him. We had gone six miles, and had just crossed small bridge, when the nigh wheels fell into washout and the coach canted over and rolled into a deep ditch. There was time for me to jump, and the driver also saved himself. The man inside had no chance, and the fall threw him against the side of the coach with such violence that he was senseless when I clambered up and found him. My first move was to slip on the hadcuffs the next to re- move his weapons. In three or four minutes he regained consciousness, and when he came to realize his situation he did some awful cursing. He was in for it, however, and that night he slept in stout jail. In his satchel was about S20,0O0 of the "queer," and we had such strong case that he plead guilty when the trial came on and took his sentence of fifteen years without wink. He lived to serve ten of it, and then died of fever.-De- tron Free Press.

How Neal Dow Interpreted an Order.

How Neal Dow Interpreted an Order.
 Chicago Times.
 There was once an occasion in which Neal Dow was very noticeable figure. It was early in the war. His army corps had been brodght up prepara- tory to forming for battle. General Dow was one of party of lesser off, cers who had been called around the corps commander for instructions. He was, as one of the boys said, all hat, boots and sword. He was very small man and wore a hat with an enormous brim, pair of boots that Tapped above the knee, and sword that changed on the ground away be- hind him.
 General Dow," said the con- mander, "I want you to go to that lit- tie hillock to the left and take a posi- tion facing that line of woods"
 "Now, general?" asked Dow.
 "At once."
 In moment the army saw little General Dow tramping of toward the hillock alone, and word was passed along explaining the mistake he had made. The shouts of laughter attracted the commanders attention and he sent an orderly after General Dow. When the little man returned the commander asked:
 General Dow, what did you un- derstand me to direct you to do?"
 "To take position on that hillock facing the woods, sir"
 "And did you think I meant to send you there alone?"
 Certainly, sir. Idid not hear you say anybody was to go with me-"
 The commander kindly set him right, and General Dow finally took his command to the hillock, but the boys in that corps never got through talking and laughing about the time "Little Neal Dow" set out alone to hold the hillock against the rebel army.

Notices of Some New Books.

George W. Custard, in Georgia Cracker.
 In an age of literature like this new books are published. Every now and then new book is printed with a beautiful name, such as "Pansies and Other Vegetables" "Spring Whispers and Other Spasms." It seems that some people do nothing but write books. If it continues we will be a world of literary characters with noth- ing to eat or wear but our reputa- tions.
 "We have on our table at present (we just use this phrase because it is not protected by copyrighD several valuable works kindly sent us by charitable publishers, which we will take occasion to scan for the purpose of sizing up their literary merit.
 Congressional Record: Govern ment Printing House, Washington. D. O. We have carefully perused this latest jeu Gespra through tour or five pages. It is written probably by W. D. Howells, though the authors name is not disclosed. The author preserves an intense interest through out the four pages read, and the nat ural conclusion is that the heroine will be married in the last chapter. Unfortunately the story is in serial form and person is obliged to quit reading while in high frenzy of ex- citement and wait for the next num- Der. It will doubtless have ready sale.
 "Patent Office Report:' (Same house.) This is one of the most rav- ishing works that has come from the pen of genius. Profusely illustrated with graphic drawings displaying wonderful flights of imagination. On one page we noticed a pneumatic pump handle that works on a self acting corrugated bi-sected fragment of convolute circle, which is worth double the price of the book. The reading matter is omitted, but we hope it will come along at no distant day. Even as it is, a person can spend hours in rapturously gazing at the cog wheels and fractured triangles, wondering what they are and what they ain't.
 "Fairbanks' Seed Annual for 1888 :" This work, which is much in the style of Rose E. Cleveland's style, is des- tined to be the literary event of the year. It is tale we'll told, with pict- ures of cauliflowers and turnips all through it. On the frontispiece, in- stead of having the portrait of the author, we see beautiful picture of large red onion shining fourth in all the redolence of youth. The tale is wonderfully pathetic and skillfully woven into it are pointed remarks about planting and where to buy seed.
 "City Directory for 1888: :" This is large blue book with pink adver- tisements on the edge. It can better be classed as a work on philology than volume of poems. It is Emersonian and Noah Websterian in style, and though the writer shows himself to be prolific writer of prose, he seems weak when he comes to versifcation. We note with sadness that not single poem occurs on its pages, yet this is compensated by several beau tiful pict- ures of livery stables and collins. It is just the work for debt collectors.

THE SOUL OF LIFE IS LOVE.
BY cnAs. EUGENE BANKS.

The world is as barren clin, While love is like the dew That falls upon it and the moss, Like life, spring from the two. It creepeth OCT the barren stone Till all about be verdant grown. The world is as a blasted tree, While love is like the vine That tralls 1t OCT; it's sunlIt leaves, Like life, the two entwine. The trunk is green that erst was bare And blossoms kiss it every where. The world is as a clouded sea, While love is like the sun That steals along the murky waves And brightens every one. Der gloom is golden glory flung And sunbeans sport the waves among.
