Some thief broke into Paul Hop
pens wash-houss south OF the family
residence in the block west OF the court
house Thursday night and stole about
SO worth of the best Of the family wash
ing. consisting OF dresses, drawers, etc.
A child's blue garment, and calico
dress, belonging to somebody else. were
found in the yard, evidently dropped by
the thief. It is thought he got in at the
south window.
Rev. Tice, one Of the supe,intend-
ents OF the Children's Aid society Of
New York, gave a most interesting ad
dress at the N. E. church Sunday even
ing. The society own twenty homes for
children in New York City. 1t has
found homes for over 100000 children.
No girl or boy need be homeless in the
city. The Society sends thousands OF
children every summer to the seashOre

The Omaha presbytery was largely

logical seminary OF Omaha was elected
moderator, Rev. Hawley Of Omaha and
Rev. R E. l. Hayes of this city, clerks.
Revs. Braden and Ashton were chosen
delegates to the general assembly and
Revs. Lampe and Hayes as alternates.
Mr.. Fleming and Mr.. Lower were IL
censed to preach. Able addresses we're
made by Drs. Gordan, Harsha, Wilson
and Barnes.
Already questions concerning the
of soldiers for the army are
being mooted, and this was one we
heard the other day: Suppose Colum-
bus and Columbus township are desig-
mated to furnish as their quota for
call, ten men, and A. B. is one Of the
men drafted, and employs Y. z. for q
paying him for the risk of
going in his stead. Now, suppose that
in subsequent call for more men, Y. z.
is himself drafted. Must he serve the
government under this draft? If 90,
what becomes of A. B?
"A very stringent reducing order has
gone into effect on the Union Pacific
lately. The assistant agents at Cedar
Rapids, Genoa, Madison, st. Edward
and other points have been taken off,
leaving, the agents to do the business
alone, which is something of hardship
at most OF the points. One switching
crew has been taken of here, besides the
night ba&gageman. Similar retrench-
ment has been made all along the main
line and branches. and no doubt the
company will net several thousand dol |
lars per month by the operation.

md best natured boys in Platte county,
vas in town Saturday en- route to Oma-
IA, where he has a position with the
Houston Electric Light Co.
Bob is Platte county boy by birth, and
,as lived nearly all his life in Joliet
township. He went to Omaha about
TWO months ago to see what the chance
vas to get position on the force OF the
Trans Mississippi exposition police, but

greatly overdone that they get all the
men they want at very cheap figure.
Miss Mamie Mcmahon had rather
exciting experience with a runaway
,orse on Eleventh street last Friday
afternoon. Their usually trusty and re-
liable family horse became frightened at
when near Merz' meat mar
ret, shied suddenly, throwing Miss Nc
4ahon to the ground, she falling heavily
VI her side and shoulder. The horse
continued with the upturned buggy, and
vas caught near Schroeder's mill. It
vas found that neither horse nor buggy
lad suffered in the least. MISS Nc
Aahon pluckily climbed into the
Eehicle and continued on her way.
BY such indications a. these from q
elegram Of Friday, can be judged pretty
the relative condition Of this

heir ability to carry on war:
