10 HELP cuDAHY CASE.
City of Omaha VIII a ssist in the Cap-
ture of the Kidnnners.

bOIiC OASSI1C-
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 1.-The city of
Omaha has decided to take a hand in
the Cuaahy abduction, and a special
meeting OF the city council was called
for that purpose. Mayor Moores made
the following statement:
Bullets or no bullets intend to
offer Il reward for the arrest of the
Cudahy kidnapers. This case has come
to a pass where it is the public,s duty to
step in and relieve the terrible strain
under which the Cudahy family is at
present. That last letter from the kid
napers puts so serious coloring on the
case that it ia not right to expect Mr.
sCudafy tn continue his offer Of $4,000
reward for the arrest and conviction of
the men who stole his boy. have
wired the governor urging him to offer
a reward. A special meeting OF the
council has been called to consider the
'advisability OF appropriating $4,000 for
any person who may bring about the
conviction of the kidnapers The coun-
sty will also be asked to give some mon
ey, and have no doubt but we will
swell the sum to $4,000. The Cudahy
family has suffered enough at the hands
OF these desperadoes. 1t is ndf comfort
able for them to be living under threat
that a bullet will end the life of one OF
their children In cass their reward is
continued, and law and order demand
that ar end be brought to sgch pro-

TOO GOOD TO PERISH.

Mr.. Bryan naturally feels that the
editorials which have appeared in the
Commoner since it's birth are too good
to perish from the earth, and he is
having them published in book form,
together with a few of Col. Maupin's
gems of thought to act as a preserva-
tive. This will be glad news to sub
scribers who have lost, loaned or mis-
laid copies of the Commoner, and
who have been frantic in the desire to
complete the file. We know Of one
distinguished Lincoln citizen who in
advertently kindled the kitchen fire
with copy of the Commoner. When
he realized what he had done his
grief was pitiful, and his friends
found great difficulty in restraining
him from committing suicide. He
has never been the same man since,
but it is believed that when the news
is broken to him that he may obtain
the Commoner editorials in book
form, reason will return to it's throne,
and the smile of peace and happiness
will be restored to his wan, suffering
face. Walt Mason.

But while I am mentioning pests that infest an army camp l must not forget the ostrich, for they are chronic camp followers. The country is full of them and they are always in evidence wherever you go and are not bit timid about mixing with men and horses for they are able to take care of themselves i'll any common engage ment. They can put an expert army mule to shame when 1t comes to graceful, devastating kick. It comes nearer a bolt of lightning i'll its damaging effects than anything 1 have yet seen. Their appetite is enormous and they will pick up almost anything from loaf of bread to loaded cartridge. Chunks of soap, the bright buttons of sol diers uniform, all go in quick con

A small dog is about the only thing that he stands i'll dread of and will run miles from one, but the large dog had better not try to follow the smaller ones example for fear of disastrous results. There is no animal or bird so fleet of foot. They are the fastest living thing on foot The plumes form one of the chief items of exports from the country and a feather market Is in- deed quite sight to see. l can buy fine plumes for three shillings each (72 cents) but they become subject to duty at every turn, con sequently reach good sum when they at last adorn some lady's hat in foreign country. Now as Ali rica is the home of the black race l will write a few lines concerning them. They number many mil lions, five millions of the different Kaffir tribes alone, to say nothing of the Hottentots, Fingoes and mixed races of the southern colon ies, who number five for each white person. The Basutoes, Zu- Jus and Matabeles are all fine spec imens of humanity physically. These tribes have been at war at different times with both the Dutch and English and are a fearless peo- pie in war They are strictly hon est in their dealings and moral in their way of living and perfectly reliable i'll employment and make splendid workers, being different in all these respects to their southern neighbors, the Hottentots, Fingoes

RIGHT UP TO DATE. (Benson's Plaster is Pains Mastsr.)

These are days of records and of the beat ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for quickness of action and thoroughness of cure, has no records to beat except it's own.
 Benson's Plaster, always the best, always the leader, is to-day better than ecer. It sticks to the skin but never sticks in it's tracks. It marches on
 The people not only want to be cured but cured quickly and Benson's Plaster does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma, bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints, and other ills approachable by an external remedy, yield to Benson's as icedo to heat
 Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or Capsicum plasters are to be compared with Benson's. People who have once tested the merits of Bensons Plaster have no use for any other external remedy.
 More than 1000 physicians and drug gists (and thousand times as many non- professional persons) have called Benson's Plasters one of the few CD homo remedies that can be trusted.
 Fifty-tive highest awards have been made to it in competition with the best known plasters of Europe and America. Better proof of it's merits is inconceiyable. Be sure to get the genuine.

Bigamist Escapes Punishment.

Madison Goulsby, colored, of Helena, escaped term in the peni- tentiary on a technicality in the law providing for the punishment for the crime of bigamy. Goulsby was arrested on warrant sworn out by his mother, and when arraigned in court admitted that he had two wives living, one in Phillips county and the other in Mississippi. He didn't make any effort to dodge the issue, seeming to be aware of the law in this state, which is to the effect that a man can only be prosecuted for bigamy when the crime is actually committed in this state

Opinion by Attorney General.

Attorney General Davis throw the following additional light or the road laws in answer to ques- tions propounded: "Do incorpor ated towns have to pay the mill levy for the same purpose or for keeping up the streets ?"
 Answer The law approved May 8, 1899, relative to the three-mili levy, is independent of any other road law in operation in this state. The five-mill levy for working the streets in the incorporated towns is made so by the council. Of course the council that made this law has the power to repeal it, if they so de- sire, or they could, if the three-mill tax has been voted by your county, reduce the five-mill levy in the town for work on the streets to two mills, and this two mills plus the three mills under the general law would still give them a five-mill tax for working the roads, with the condi- tions and exceptions hereinafter mentioned. But the incorporated towns, if the county has voted the three e-mill road tax, will have to pay the tax just as any other district would.
 3. "Does the township road over seer work the streets of incorporated towns ?"
 This question naturally suggests itself on account of the act of March 3, 1899, which is an act mak ing each township into a road dis trict and having the county court to appoint for each township the town ship road overseer. Now, under the act of May 8, section 13, it is pro- vided that the county court shall appoint and employ one overseer of each road district of the county for the term of one year. Section ? of the act provides that the county court, together with majority of the justices of the peace, shall di- vide the county into as many road districts as they deem most advant- ageous for the purposes of the act. Now under this provision a town might be put into a road district by itself, or it might be put into a road district consisting of town ship. or it might be put into road district with such surrounding ter ritorv as the court and justices shall deem proper; in other words, they have the power and the dis oretion Of putting a town Tn or out of a district as they please. If
 hey put the toGn into district
 " itself of cadrse the town reaps
 lhe benefit of the thrce-mill levy to itself but if they do n3t, such coun- try as is embraced in the district
 reaps the benefit of the levy And also under this act they may ap- point some one else there would point an overseer. Now they could appoint an overseer who was ap- pointed under the act of March , if they want to or could appoint | some one else; therefore, if they ap- simply be two overseers. But the overseer under the act of May s would only operate under the three mill levy; and the other overseer
 would operate under the other levy, whatever it may be-
 | 3. s'Can he take men out of the
 incorporated town and work them on the county road ?"
 If acting under the act of May 8,
 as far as the three mill levy Is concerned, he could otherwise not. "Could a person residing in an
 incorporated town take the position
 as overseer and work the county
 road, and he being over age for
 road service ?"
