We come to lay token of kind regard
and heartfelt sorrow on the grave of oul
friend, Clarence T. Leedom.
The sad intelligence of his untimely death
was severe shock to his many friends.
Stricken down in the bloom of youth, his
death seems doubly sad. leaving desolate
his happy home and all hut overwhelming
his loving parents and only sister with
deepest sorrow.
Would that we might do something to
tighten their heavy burden, something to
cheer that sorrowing mothers heart. But
we can do nothing, only weep in silent SYM

not leave you comfortless. will come to

earthly veil, Clarence, farewell. And God
grant that we all may meet

ROMANCE IN swINDLING.
Ernest Bartels Mulcts n Laramie Bank
and is Betrayed by His Fiancee.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, July 10.-Ernest
Bartels is in custody here awaiting the ar
rival of Sheriff Charles Yund, of Albany
county, Wyoming. He lived in this city
last winter, but several months ago went
to Laramie City, where he was engaged
as cook on a ranch. About a month ago
he broke open the trunk of a fellow-work-
man and stole a certificate of deposit on
The Wyoming National Bank of Laramie
for the amount of $500. He got cash
at the bank for half this amount and a
certificate of deposit for the remainder.
He came to Davenport from Wyoming
and got the certificate cashed at the First
National bank of this city. The return
of that certificate through an Omaha bank
gave the Wyoming authorities a clew,
which they followed up by telegraph.
The police in this city succeeded in get
ting hold of a young lady to whom Bar
tells was soon to be married and she uu-
suspectingly gave them all the informa-
ton they needed to capture him. He was
located in St. Paul and arrested there
Monday night. Sheriff Yund is now on
his way to get him, armed with all need
full requisition papers. Bartels has rela-
tives here and in st. Paul.
Although she is in the same city with
him the young lady does not know that
her lover is here IN limbo, but supposes him
tie be in the hands of friends in st. Paul.
The bank at Laramie is supposed to be
pushing the case.

One of the most trying ordeals that a
bashful, self conscious man has to I'M
dergo occasionally in this city is to walk
through the women's cabin on one of the
big ferryboats that cross the North river.
Everything is so wide and shelterless in
one of these big boats, and the people
sitting are ranged along the two walls
with nothing to stare at but each other
and those who walk between them. 1t
seems to a timid man as if all eyes were
fixed on him, as If each one was making a
mental note that his trousers bagged at
the knees or seemed shy of his boots,
that a button was missing from his coat,
that his cuffs edge was frayed or that
his hat was last years style. These
cabins afford fine opportunities, though,
for people who seldom think of them
selves, and like to study their fellow
men, and are also much enjoyed by wo-
men who are well dressed, or think
they are, which answers the same pur-
pose.-New York Tribune.

On n of the South Side lives
a bright faced little miss of scarcely
three summers, whose watchfulness
brought to light facts for this story. The
neighborhood is blessed with one of those
breadwinners who do odd jobs for that
same bread. This manfred he is
called-was engaged by the mother of
this little Miriam to carry a load Of coal
into the basement Going to the win
dow some time later the mother discov-
cred that Fred had finished the job, and
she wondered at his non-appearance.
Hearing Miriam laughing in the kitchen
an unusual thing, by the way, this de-
partment being in charge of a typical
green Swede-she fastened out and was
informed by the girl that Fred had been
teasing Miriam. Returning TO the parlor
she was followed by that little miss, who
seated herself md regarded her mother
thoughtfully for q moment, and then
said: Mamma, Fred he Rugged Essie
and Essie see sayed Don't lust like
zat;" with a coquettish wave of her lit
tie arm. The mystery was solved, and
1t is needless to say that the redoubtable
Fred heaves bis coal and his sentiment
in another quarter.-Chicago Herald.

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was
white as snow; it ran away, one summe
day, where lambs should never go. Then
Mary sat her down and tears streamed
from her eyes, she never found that
little lamb-she did not advertise. Now,
Mary had a brother Jim, who kept a
country store; he sat him down and
smoked his pipe and watched the open
door. And as the people passed along,
but did not stop to buy, Jim still sat
down and blinked his sleepy, sleepy eyes.
And SO the sheriff closed him out, but
still he fingered near, and Mary came to
drop with him q sympathetic tear. "How
is it, sister, hat the other merchants
here sell all their goods and pay their
bills and thrive from year to year?" Re
Numbering well her own bad luck, the
little maid replies: 1.-THE other merchants
get there. Jim, because they advertise. "

Three HebeIIions a Day.

Three rebellions, obstinate, though
bloodless occur in the stomach OF the
~dyspeptic who partakes of food thrice a
day. The digestive organ refuses on each
occasion to perform the duty assigned to
It by nature, and trouble ensues. How
discipline, how regulate it2 Simply with
a wineglassful of the genial ~invieorant
and appetizer, Hostetter's stomach bit
tiers before each meal and before retiring.
Digestion will, after a course of this
pleasant regulator, become easily, and its
forerunner, appetite also improve. Ner.
vousness and insomnia. always induced by
chronic dyspepsia, will disappear with its
disappearance thus insured, and co~nsiipa-
ton and biliousness, its usual attendants,
also take their leave. Not only will the
system acquire strength, but also sub
stance by a more perfect assimilation of
the food. Rheumatism, malarial and
kidney complaint and neuralgia yield to
the Bitters.

MIRAcuLous ESCAPE.
Two Wheels Pass Over Homer HaII's
Leg, but Not a Bone is Broken.

A brakeman named Homer Hall lost a
leg at Dana station yesterday, lie is a
married man and lives at Laramie
Wednesdays LEADER.
AS the foregoing intimates Brake
man Hall was the victim of a railway &C
cident at Dana Tuesday. A report made
to Union Pacific headquarters here that
day contained the statement that Hail
would be minus a leg the remainder of
his days. Yesterday it was learned that
while Hall had not lost a limb his escape
was little less than miraculous. Two
wheels of an empty box car passed over
his leg and not a bone in the member was
broken. The bruises land abrasions will
quickly heal and the leg will soon b. per
feet as its hate. When beneath the car
Hall instinctively bent the limb and Its
rigidity saved it from a frightful crush
ing.
The man who was run over and scarcely
injured is nearly six feet tall and built like
an athlete. He has been a brakeman
several years aud has developed muscles
able to withstand almost any shock.

1t used to be the custom, and is now
in many localities, to "beat down" in all
trades with storekeepers and merchants.
An amusing example of this practice is
given below:
In the old haggling way Of trade it
vas customary to demand a great deal
moro than the asker hoped to get. One
time, on the Texas frontier, a man came
into camp riding OIL an old mule.
GLOW much for the muller asked a
bystander.
"Jist a hundred dollars" answered
the rider.
'Tn give you five dollars" said the

Two Nebraska Girls Dressed as Men
DISSOLVE Partnership Here.

On Tuesday last a young man and a
boy went about the streets peddling fans
pre;tily made out of wood. says the Hol-
lister California; Free Lance. George
Austin watched them and told d. l..
Durham he thought the boy was a girl.
On Wednesday afternoon the boy cane
to Mr.. Dunham's tailor shop to see about
a coat. Dave offered to measure him,
but the boy objected. Dave insisted, and
in measuring the boy found substantial
indications that made him believe he was
no boy, but a very well built woman. He
told the marshal the result of his %investi-
cations, and the marshal invited the boy
to his office, and there, strange to say, he
was convinced that the boy was a woman
and deserving of arrest for mas querading
in boys clothes. She was taken to Jail,
where she was visited by several kind
hearted ladies, who volunteered to fit her
out in clothes suitable to her sex, and to
find her a home. She accepted both in
yitations. and will be given a home in
some kind family.
When her companion, who stated he
had been tramping with her for a month,
was told that she was indeed a woman,
his surprise apparently was b~oundless; he
Indignantly denied that she was a woman,
but declared she was a boy. He was ar
rested on suspicion. but as no charge
could be be made against him he was al
lowed to go on the promise of leaving
town Immediately, which he did after
leaving some money for the girl.
She claims to be a resident of Lincoln,
Neb., and to have worn boys clothes for
six months without detection. She left
Nebraska in company with another girl in
male attire, but they parted company at
Cheyenne.
