The Missing Found.

Robert Flemming, of Madison street,
who, it was feared, had lost his way and
perished in the blizzard while driving
from here to Missouri Valley, has turned
uD all right. He reached Honey Creek
when the storm struck him. 1t was
with difficulty that he made his way to
a farmers house, where he was shell
tered for five days. He was unable to
communicate with his friends. and their
anxiety was consequently most intense.
He has relieved it by Il safe arrival
home.
A son of John Dunn. the eXpressman.
was also among those reported missing.
He started at = o'clock that afternoon to
go seven miles up the river, and got
showed in, but found shelter. He is all
right, and this finishes the list OF the
"rOund-up," which proves very satisfac-
tory, in that no lives were lost here.

Three Tickets, All Prizes.

Six seekers after connublal bliss waited
upon Clerk Shea yesterday and We're
helped ON their way as far as he was
able. They all register from Council

Mr.. Christian LANCER and Miss Lizzie

Doubtless the third couple also were
married, but by whom the BEE sayeth

The COnstabulary,

The election OF G. Wesley as consta-
BILE, to fill the vacancy caused by 10
Spaulding's removal, gives one regu-
larly qualified constable to serve ac-
lively. The people elected three last
fall, Picketts, Klein and Spaulding.
The official fate of the last named is too
well known to need comment. Picketts
and Klein are not acting, and they as
sert that the. reason is the justices
ignore them, and give the business to
special constables, such as Colonel Trox.
1t seems to matter little who the people

SO in his eyes the young artistic OF the
violin is "A greater than he. Certain it
is that no one who heard her play has
failed to recognize the sincerity and
sweetness, and evidence Of thorough
training in this young artistic work.
The echos of her foreign successes had
reached US before she came, and it is
only because she plays in the company
of II younger child than she that people
have not fully realized how near she
stands to the border that separates her
happy girlhood from her wonderful
childhood of only the other day.

CauCht a Burolar.

There was wild commotion at the
Colorado house about 1890 o'clock last
evening, and sounds of a fight mingled
with frantic calls of "help' and "po-
lice.' 1t was all caused by the discov-
cry of a burglar in the act of ransack-
ing one of the rooms of the house. An
old man who occupied the apartment
was awakened by the intruder and IN
stead of lying still he grappled with the
thief. The latter. however. sue
ceeded in knocking the old man
down. but the noise attracted
the attention of other boarders and the
thief was captured before he could make
his escape. The police were notified
and the man was taken to headquarters.
where he gave the name of A. b. Fra
ney, and was locked up. Franey is a
stranger in the city. He stopped at the
Colorado house Tuesday night. and last
night pretended to start for his room
shortly before being discovered in his
career as burglar.

Lorenz was the principal witness and
told very straight story of what
remarkably guileless sucker" he had
been and how easily he fell into the
trap that keen heads had prepared for

since. He was very positive in all his
statements and identified the defendant
in open court as the man who had en-
gagged him as Il laborer to go to work on
his three or four large stock farms in

The annoyance which creaking
hinge can give is something whose
can be endured no longer, and then the
sweet oil is poured out and a feather is
hunted up and a grease spot is probably
made on the skirts by some overflow.
and on the carpets afterward by drip
from the deposit in the hinge, and
hands have to be washed after the deed
is done, and more or less fuss generally
is made by the feather and it's oil. The
whole trouble can be obviated by the
use of a black lead pencil of the softest
number, the point rubbed into all the
crevices of the hinge, reducing it to
silent smoothness as if by word Of COM
mand.

A pug and Newfoundland dog be-
longing to a New Jersey gentleman
were seen to halt before a brook. The
big dog took to the water, but the pug
refused to do so. The Newfoundland
then persuaded the pug to get upon his
back, but he slid off when half way
across, when the big dog yanked him
out and set him on the opposite bank.
Since then the pug has carried out of
the house to the Newfoundland the
choicest bits of his food, and he seems
to enjoy seeing the big dog eat them.

The Broadway Bridge.

Mr.. Evans and others locally inter-
ested in the Broadway bridge do not
seem to be much alarmed about the
news from Washington. They say
they are ready to have the enterprise
investigated as fully as desired.
What railroad wants to cross the
bridge now? There's great talk about
getting the railway part of the bridge
ready for some train to cross, but what
if the bridge is got all ready for some
train to cross. and there's no train wants
to go over? 1t would look fine to see a
big railway bridge across the Missouri
and not railway track leading up to it
on either side, now wouldn't it?"
Such is the way they talk. Another
citizen, not directly interested in the
bridge enterprise, remarked: whats
the use of talking about some railroad
wanting to cross that bridge. I've no
doubt the substructure is being made
strong enough to do a railroad business
as we'll as wagon business, but sup
posing some road got the right of way
on the Council Bluffs side, it would cost
too much on the Omaha side. There is
no chance to turn off the street or get
yard room without spending mint of
money. 1t is simply opposition to the
bridge and not a desire for a railway
bridge"
Another suggestion: "Why don't the
folks build a railroad bridge at Child s
mills? That's the best place along the
river. The Union Pacific came near
building its bridge there. 1t seems
there is room enough on the river for
all the bridges that they want to build"
