A TROUBLED TOWN.
Property of Its Citizens Being
Levied on for Public Debts.

The small town of Otis, Me-, is in
trouble-at least the inhabitants there
of are. The town is in debt and its
citizens are showing no disposition to
paw it's obligations. The people to
whom the debts are due want their
money, AMI they are taking steps to
get it. The law provides that when
there is no money in municipal treasu-
ries to meet obligations the property
of citizens may be taken for that pur-
pose.
A few Gays ago an attorney secured
a Judgment of 800 against the town OF
Otis. and when he undertook to collect
it he found no money in its treasury.
He seized the oxen of one of the citi-
zens and number of COWS OF another
and took them to nearby town and
sold them at pubiicsoutcry. The citi-
zens whose oxen were taken naturally
feel apgriaved. But worse is in store
for the town. Other creditors, finding
out how they can collect what is due
them, are proceeding to seize the
property of other citizens. One of the
towns creditors has seized the farm
of one of the citizens and has adver-
tised it for sale.
Other citizens are expecting that
their property will be seized, and con-
sequently they are in panicky condi-
ton. Of course those whose property
has. been taken have their remedy
They can sue the town, and haVing
obtained Judgment can seize property
of other citizens, and thus the thing
can be kept up until all the property
in the town has been seized and sold

Mr.. Bryan Settles a Rumor.

1t was reported a day or two ago that
Mr.. Bryan had reconsidered his de-
termination not to be candidate for
the senate from Nebraska, and would
accept the Office if it were rendered to
him. The gentleman himself says:
"There is not word of truth in the
story; have other plans" What the
other plans were he declined to dis
cuss. This should settle the senator
ship rumor, at all events.

CAN'T PUNISH THEM.
Cudahy Kidnappers viii Get Light Sentences
if Caught.

Mr.. Cudahy of Omaha was required
to pay pretty nearly his sons weight
in gold to the kidnappers of the child.
The $4,000 of yellow coin which he
was required to give up weighed nearly
80 pounds, while the boy weighed bit
over loo. 1t is singular circumstance,
by the way, that there is no law in the
statute books of Nebraska specifically
covering the matter of abduction of
persons for ransom. 1t appears that
the only charge that can be brought
against the kidnappers of young Cuda-
by is that of false imprisonment, which
is not a crime but merely a misde-
meanOr, subject to fine and short jail
sentence.

Taken to Court in Iron Cage.

In would appear that in some parts
of Ohio they do not regard negroes as
human beings. One was recently on
trial in Cleveland on the charge OF
murder. Instead of placing him in the
dock or seating him in a chair, as they
would have done with white man,
they placed an iron cage in the court
room aud locked the negro in it every

anything else for indigestion or bill
