The grand jury made it's report yesterday
afternoon and was discharged Eight in
dctments were found, but as only one of
the men indicted is under arrest the names
of the persons indicted were not given out.
The sherif's Office force expected to make
several arrests last night. Wesley Green,
the Omaha beggar, who was held to the
grand jury upon the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, was indicted.
He is the man who is supposed to have
stolen watch from the Russell & Co.
warehouse while working a scheme to get
donations by presenting a forged letter pur-
porting to have been given him by Keys
Bros, describing him as worthy appIi-
cant for charity and heading a subscription
list with a donation of 81. He collected
considerable money in the city by the aid
OF this forged letter
There are no very important cases in the
other seven indictments returned, The
grand jury made the accustomed rounds of
the city and county jails and made highly
flattering report of the condition in which
they were found. They found the city Jail
in the best shape that it has been for a
number of years.

longed IN his thin, worn, resolute
face there were the signs of a fire

To describe him in their words as

of the mark; he had no more coarse

a CALIFORNIA INSECT CATCHER
Plant, DarIingtOnia, That Lures In
sects to Destruction.

California has a trumpet-leaf more
remarkable than those that grow in
the East. 1t is the darlingtonia, named
for DR.. Darlington, a famous botanist
who lived near Philadelphia many
years ago, writes Thomas H. Kearney
in June st. Nicholas. In the noun
tains where it grows the people can it
"calfs head from the shape Of the
pitchers. These are sometimes three
feet tall, and are covered at top by a
sort of hood that bends down over the
mouth. The hood ends in two spread
ing wings that give it the look of a
fish's tail. Like the other trumpet
leafs, darlingtonia has its pitchers
brightly colored, so as to eaten the
eyes Of flying insects and lure them to
their destruction. Around the mouth
Of the pitcher, along the "fish-tail,"
and often down the wing on one side,
there is little of the sweetish, sticky
substance that offers a bait to the Wis
itOr, tempting him to come always a
little farther in search of more.
The upper side of the tish-tail and
the inside Of the pitchers are covered
with stiff hairs that point downward
Master Insect finds it easy work to
crawl down into the pitcher, but if he
gets frightened by the darkness at the
bottom and tries to return as he came
he finds these hairs very much in his
way. SO at length, worn out by his
vain efforts to climb up, he usually
falls into the we'll beneath him.
But even if he is strong enough to
get past the hairs he is not likely to
find his way to the opening; for that
is quite dark, while the hood covering
the pitcher is lighted up by thin yell
low dots scattered over it, much like
the oil-paper that people covered their
windows with in the old days before
glass was common. The poor prisoner
beats around inside the hood, like a
wasp on a window pane, until he is
tired out and drops to the bottom. The
California insect catcher sets its trap
for big game. Grasshoppcrs, bees. hor.
nets, butterflies, and now and then a
snail are captured by it, besides many
a smaller morsel. 1t is one of the hun
griest of the insect-eating plants

BRUSHING UP BACHELORS.
Women Who Mend Mems Clothes
and Earn n Living Thereby.

OF all the things that used to harass
and annoy a bachelor the chief was
how to keep his clothes in condition.
There are women nowadays, however,
who earn a comfortable living looking
after the wardrobes of the bachelors.
Some of them will call for the & 1nter
garments, pack them away carefully
with moth balls and tar paper, look
them over and air them occasionally
and return them at the approach of
cold weather, and the charge is only
$3.50 The same care is taken of the
summer clOthing-au mending is done,
so that when the garments are re-
turned they are in the best condition,
says the New York Press.
The everyday suits, too, are taken
for a day or two, and a rent here and
a button there attended to. Socks
that need darning sadly are made whole
again, and underclothing is placed be-
yond the dangers of moths. TaiIora
concern themselves entirely with outer
garments, but the other articles of
clothing have to shift for themselves,
unless the bachelor is eXpert-for
man-With needle. These women are
a blessing to the unmarried. Usually
they are widows, and thus know by eX-
perience what a man needs and how
to supply his wants. Their work is
done at home and helps support the
children. In the spare rooms the
trunks and boxes are stored. Every
little While out come the oVercCats and
heavy suits to get a Whit Of fresh
air and to make sure that no moths
have defied the packing and made holes
and homes for themselves.
1t is the little attentions that keep q
wardrobe perfect and this same care
full and constant supervision it is inn
possible to get from ones tailor or
lardlady. Some of these repairers are
trusted to overhaul the entire ward
robes of their customers, taking away
what needs fixing up and leaving the
rest. They come in the daytime when
the men are at work and next day the
articles are returned, ready To wear
The price for this work usually is 10
or 20 cents an hour, and a dollar is
we'll invested in this way.

all medical treatment that money could

many nights sitting up IN a chair; was
induced to try DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry, and was cured by use of two bot
ties. For past three years has been
attending to business, and says DR..

In the same class can be placed he

The Reunion.

The county reunion OF soldiers,
sailors and woodmen held at Camp
Brooks, near this place beginning
Tuesday and continuing until Sat-
urday night is probably the largest
gathering of the kind which has ever
occurred in this county. The camp
is beautifully located and every con-
venience OF water, shade, secluslon
from dust and ample room were pres
emit in abundance, and Dame Nature
favored us with delightful weather
all the week barring little dust.
The refreshment stands and pre-
liminarles we're arranged Monday
and all was in readiness for the Wis.,
itors Tuesday morning whe can't
during the day and filed fifty tents.
Fifty more tents arrived Tuesday
evening and were pitched early We'd
nesday morning and were almost as
quickly filed as put up by Wednes-
days arrivals.
But little was done Tuesday be-
sides locating delegations and maxi
ing them comfortable.
Wednesday was set apart as G.. A.
r. and w. r. O. day and a number
of eminent speakers addressed the
boys in blue and their good wives,
among whom were Hon. John r.
Hamilton OF Norton, who always has
good word for the old soldiers, and
his patriotic talk impresses one with
the idea that it comes from a man
who has been there, or in other words
was one Of the boys himself.
The decided hit Of the day was
made by Mrs. M. r. Morgan, editor
of the Alma, Neb., Reporter. Her
address was manly to the W. r. O.,
and breathed that pure, unselfsb,
undesignlng sentiment and patriot
ism which only a true woman can
express, Her address was we'll re-
ceived and many were the tear
dampened cheeks noticeable as she
described the great sacrifices made
by the loyal women of the North dur
ing that four years of civil conflict
Ex-Superintendent Baker of Nor
ton, was the next speaker. While
the professor is a very enthusiastic
talker, his brand of patriotism i'm
presses one as Of that cold, phlematio,
selfish character found Among parti-
san politicians. The professor en-
joys the distinction Of injecting the
first, and almost the only, partisan
political sllusion OF the whole re-
union. He could not refrain from
getting off the stereotyped &. o. p.
prosperity bowling lie so common of
today. 1t requires elephantine nerve
to howl national prosperity before an
intelligent audience, in the face of
four million American tramps, and
in the teeth Of the greatest struggle
in the history Of nations between
organized labor and organized greed
but Baker has that nerve IN a large
degree,
As we prepare the foregoing fol
press, the M. W. of A. are having
their day, which, together with the
proceedings of the remaining threc
days will be noticed next week.

The railroads and elevators in and

The railroads and elevators in and
around Chicago are being literally
swamped with the unprecedented
amouns Of gram from the west. The
railroads not only have every in SER
vice, but are boarding up stock cars
and rigging up onther equipments in
vain efforts to handle the traffic. The
st. Paul, Burlington and Rock Is.
land were blocked with grain trains
for miles out Of the city and every
sldetrack in the country is being used
for storage tracks, Monday 6,O65
cars of grain were offered for sale on
the board of trade. This means two
days receipts. The receipts Of corn
for the same period we're $500. The
bulk OF the stuff is being contracted
TO go east via water. The demand
for vessel room Is SO great that the
lake rate from Chicago to Buffalo
has advanced 100 per cent or 2 cents
a bushel, and boats cannot now be
secured at this rate. The total ship.
ments from Chicago to the east via
lake last week amounted to 1919, 1873
tons, of which 192,26S tons were
