The Abduction Case Dismissed.

Twoweeks ago lastSunday Geo.
Taylor and young lady, accom-
panied by George Philpot, drove
to the house of August Lammert,
10 miles west of Galloway and
invited Myrtle Lammert to go
riding, and she accepted the
invitation. She did not return
that night nor the next day, and
Philpot was missing, so the
father started on the trail of the
runaways, visiting various places,
but they had just left each place,
"alretty-yet". At Plattsmouth
he found the couple had been
married, gave up the chase and
returned home to find Mr.. and
Mrs. George Philpot had already
returned and were awaiting his
blessing, and he did not hesitate
to give it in no uncertain tones
or language, iuterposing therein
many qualifying adjectives not
permissible in print.
Then he straightway cause d
the arrest of Philpot and Taylor
for enticing his daughter from
home, claiming that she was not
yet eighteen years of age.
The case came on for lie airing
before Judge Humphrey in the
County court last Monday. The
parents both testified, alter which
H. NJ. Sullivan, attorney for de-
PENDANTS, made a motion to dis
miss.
The parents, in their testimony,
were so badly mixed on dates as
to when they were married and
the birth of Myrtle that Judge
Humphrey deemed the evidence
insufficient to establish the age
of the daughter and discharged
the defendants.

however, they may be safely admitted
into land of liberty and sense.
Scotland has escaped the corrup-
tions which have crept into the empire
of music, and, consequently, her mu-
sic recommends itself, with irresist-
ible charms, to every ear which is not
vitiated by the senSeless rattle Of the
continent. Ireland is a little more
contaminated; but still her compost
tions retain enough of their primitive
simplicity and sweetness to entitle them
to the patronage Of all who would culti-
vate correct taste in this interest

not be understood as speaking here
without any limitations or restric-
tiOns; but | do maintain that, with
some few exceptions, all of the soul
of music which is now left in the world
is to be found in Scotland or Ireland.
But Germans, Frenchmen, and Ital-
ians are decidedly the best, that is, the
most expert, performers in the world.
They perform all over the world, and,
in order to exhibit themselves to the
best advantage, they select the most
difficult and complicated pieces. The
people at large presume that the best
performers must be the best judges
of music, and must take the best Sc
lections; they therefore forego the
trouble of forming an opinion of their
own, and pin their faith upon the de-
cisions, or, rather, the practice Of the
amateurs. 1t was somehow in this
way, l presume, that the fashionable
music of the day first obtained cur
rency. Having become prevalent, it
has become tOlerable; just as has
the use Of tobacco or ardent spirits.
And, while upon this head. | would
earnestly recommend to the friends
of reform in our favored country to es-
tablish an "Anti-mad-music Society"
in order to suppress, if possible, the
cruelties of our modern musical en-
tertainments.

Any one, or rather no one, can

gave forth during the conflict. Ger
tain it is, no one can describe them,
and, therefore, shall not attempt it.
The battle ended Miss Augusta
moved as though she would have
arisen, but this was protested against
by number of voices at once: "One
song, my dear Aurelia," said Miss
Small; you must sing that sweet lit
tie French air you used to sing in
Philadelphia, and which Madam Piggi-
squeak was SO fond of."
Miss Augusta looked pitiful1y at her
mamma, and her mamma looked
Sing at Miss Augusta; accordingly,
she squared herself for song.
She brought her hands to the cam
pus this time in fine style, and they
seemed now to be perfectly reconciled
to each other. They commenced a
kind of colloquy; the right whisper
ing treble very softly, and the left re-
spending bass very loudly. The con-
ference had been kept up until l be-
gan to desire a change of the subject,
when my ear caught, indistinctly,
some very curious sounds, which ap-
peared to proceed from the lips of
Miss Augusta; they seemed to be
compounded of a dry cough, a grunt,
a hiccough, and a whisper; and they
were introduced, it appeared to me,
as interpreters between the right and
left. Things progressed in this way
for about the space Of fifteen seconds,
when Happened to direct my atten-
ton to Mr.. jenkins, from Philadelphia.
His eyes were closed, his head rolled
gracefully from side to side; beam
of heavenly complacency rested upon
his countenance, and his whole man
gave irresistible demonstration that
Miss Crump's music, made him feel
good all over had just turned from
the contemplation of Mr. Jenkins
transports, to see whether I could ex-
tract from the performance anything
ineligible, when Miss Crump made a
fy-catching grab at half dozen keys
in row, and at the same instant she
fetched a long, dunghill-cock crow, at
the conclusion of which she grabbed
as many keys with the left. This came
over Jenkins like warm BATH and
over me like rake of bamboo briers.
My nerves had not recovered from
this shock before Miss Augusta re-
peated the movement, and accompa-
MED it with a squall of a pinched cat.
This threw me into an ague fit; but,
from respect to the performer, main
tanned my position. She now made
third grasp with the right, boxed the
faces Of six keys in row with the
left, and at the same time raised one
of the most unearthly howls that ever
issued from the throat of human
being This seemed the signal for
universal uproar and destruction. She
now threw away sall reserve, and
charged the piano with her whole
force. She boxed 1t, she clawed it,

petition was urged with such melting
sweetness of voice, such bewitching
leer at the gentlemen, and such the
atric heave of the bosom, that it
threw the young gentlemen into
transports. Hall was rude enough to
whisper in mine ear, "That he thought
it indelicate to expose an unmantled
bosom to a perpendicular view of
large company" and he muttered
something about republican simple
ity," l knew not exactly what. Butt
assured him the fair petitioner was SO
overcome by her solicitude for the
overture, that she thought of nothing
else, and was wholly unconscious that
there was gentleman in the room.
AS to his insinuation about points of
view," l convinced him by an easy
argument that it was wholly unfound-
ed for that this was the very point
of view in which an exposed neck
must always be seen, while men con-
tinue taller than women; and that, as
the young lady must have been ap-
priced of this, she would hardly take
so much trouble for nothing. But to
return.
Miss Crump was inexorable. She
declared that she was entirely out of
practice. "She scarcely ever touched
the piano." mamma was always scold-
ing her for giving so much Of her
time to French and Italian, and neg
lecting her music and painting; but
she told mamma the other day that it
really was so irksome to her quit Ra-
cine and Dante, and go to drumming
upon the piano, that, but for the obli-
cations of filial obedience, she did not
think she should ever touch it again"
Here Mrs. Crump was kind enough,
by the merest accident in the world,
to interpose, and to relieve the COM
pany from further anxiety.

and play a tune or two; the company
will excuse your hoarseness."

her mothers bidding, and moved to

she went forward, 'she is frightened

Miss Crump was educated at Phila-
delphia; she had been taught to sing
by Madam Piggisqueaki, who was
pupil of Nam selle Crokifroggietta,
who had sung with Madam Catalani;
and she had taken lessons on the
piano from Signor BuzzifusSi, who had
played with Paganini.

about midway the keys, and her left
about two octaves below it. She now
put off to the right in brisk canter
up to the treble notes, and the left
after it. The left then led the way
back, and the right pursued it in like
manner. The right turned, and re-
peated it's first movement; but the
left outran it this time, hoped over
it, and flung it entirely off the track.

from the words than l do from the

occasions l feel something of the saw
age malignity which visits the sins
of nation upon any Of it's citizens.
But it most frequently happens that
l am put to the fortunes of which
/ have been speaking without this miti-
cation. 1t was thus with me a few
evenings ago, at Mrs. BIS party.
Tea had been disposed of, and the
nonsensical chitchat of such occasions
had begun to flag, when invited Miss
Mary Williams to the piano. She rose
promptly at my request, without any
affected airs, and with no other apol-
ogy than that "she felt some dif1idence
at playing in the presence of Miss
Crump" The piano was an admirable
one, and it's tones were eXquisitely
fine. Mary seated herself at it, and,
after short but beautiful prelude,
she commenced one of Burns plaint-
i've songs, to a tune which was new to
me, but which was obviously from
the poets own land, and by one who
felt the inspiration of his verse. The

voice was inimitably fine. Her enun-
composer and the poet were both
citation was clear and distinct, with
just emphasis enough to give the verse
it's appropriate expression, without in
terrupting the melody of the music;
and her modulations were perfect.
She had closed, and was in the act
of rising, before | awOke from the
delightful revery into which she had
lulled me. l arrested, her however, and
insisted upon her proceeding; when she
gave me one of Allan Ramsay's best,
to measure equally appropriate. This
she followed with Tannahills Gloomy

retiring, when my friend Hall observ-
ed, "See, Miss Mary, you've brought
a tear to Mr. Baldwin's eye, and you
must not cease until you chase it away
with some lively air. My friend was
right. The touching pathos of Mary's
voice, conspiring with a train of re-
Elections which the song inspired, had
really brought me to tears. | thought
of poor Tannahill's fate. He was the
victim of a booksellers stupidity.
With men of taste and letters, his flu
gitive pieces, particularly his lyrics,
had gained him well-deserved reputa-
ton; but he was not exempt from
the common lot of authors. He was
attacked by the ignorant and the invid-
ious; and, with the hopeless design of
silencing these, he prepared volume
or more of his poems with great care,
and sent them to bookseller for pub
licatiOn After the lapse of several
weeks, they were returned without a
compliment or an order for them. The
modification and disappointment We're
too severe for his reason. 1t deserted
him, and soon after he was found dead
in q tunnel of the burn which had been
the scene of one of his earliest songs.
Unfortunately in his madness he de-
strOyed his favorite works.
Such was the train of reflection
from which Mary was kind enough, at
the request of my friend, to relieve
me by a lively Irish air.. Had it not
been admirably selected, could hardly
have borne the transition. But there
was enough of softening melody, min
pIed with the Snrigh htIineSS of the air.

It was finally determined that the "Blue
Ribbon" beer took first place among all
the other varieties submitted by American
and European breweries. Consequently
the highest possible honors of the exposi-
ton were awarded.
The fact that the American beer took
first place was all the more remarkable
from the fact that it was necessarily trans
ported great distance, a factor that might
ordinarily have been a decided handicap
as against the other beers sent to Antwerp.
The time that the beer was in transit from
the brewery in Milwaukee was something
like four weeks, and it is a generally ac-
cepted theory that beer loses through
transportation. The Pabst beer apparently
was unaffected. Its durability and pure
ness were found upon examination to be
without fault.
The exposition at Antwerp this year was
held during the months of June, July and
August, the months in which the tourist
travel is largest. 1t was opened by King
Leopold, under whose protectorate it was
held, the various monarchies and the
French republic appointing delegates to
represent them in the international show.
The exhibits were placed in the great build
ing erected several years ago at Antwerp

and designed especially for large exposi.
tions of the nature of the pure food show.
The juries appointed to make tests in the
several departments of the exposition were
appointed by the Belgian minister Of edu.
cation with the approval of the different
nations participating in the gathering, the
members being selected with special view
to their peculiar fitness TO Judge Of the
merits of the products coming under their
examination One of the noted members

awarding prizes was Prof. Alfred Jorgsn.
sen of Copenhagen, Denmark, than whom
there is no better known authority on the
subject of scientific and hygienic brewirfe.
Others on the jury were men of undoubted
ability in their line. The fact that the
host of exhibitors in the department Of
brewing unanimously approved Of the
membership of the jury bespeaks their
ability.
1t is probable that the awards now in
the care of the Pabst Brewing company
will be placed on exhibition at an early
date, it being the desire of the officials to
permit the public at large to examine the
medals and diploma signifying the par ex.
cellence of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer.

ton at Antwerp. On the other side is a
likeness, also in relief. of the huge building
at Antwerp in which the pure food and
hygienic exhibit was held.
The cross of honor, or grand prize, is of
beautiful design, somewhat similar to other
high European orders. 1t bears decora
tions of oak leaves set in gold and red en-
amel. In the middle of the medal proper
is the coat of arms of the city of Antwerp.
The medal is attached to the crown OF Bel
GUM, which in turn is suspended from
ribbon of the tri-color of Belgium.
DIPLOMA OF BEAUTIFUL DESIGN
The diploma setting forth the fact that
"Blue Ribbon" beer was awarded the grand
prix at the Antwerp exposition is beautl-
fully designed document bearing four ideal
istic figures The entire wording is in the
French language, the court language of
Belgium. The body of the diploma sets
forth that the "diplome de grand prix" has
been awarded to the Pabst Brewing COM
pany of Milwaukee. The array of official
signatures is the chief feature of the docu-
ment The diploma is signed by the presi-
dent of the jury which awarded the honors,
by the lord mayor of the city of Antwerp,
honorary member; the administrator gen.
eral, and president of the committee of
commercial patronage.
The signatures of the exposition officials
are verified and attested to by the minister
of foreign affairs of the Royal Belgian gov
eminent All these signatures are in turn
attested to by the vice and deputy consul
general representing the United States gov
eminent at Antwerp, the two eertifications
being written In the lower margin of the
diploma and accompanied by the respective
seals of office.
The background of the middle portion of
the diploma sets forth in dim outline
view from the harbor of the port of Ant
werp, showing the great shipping interests
and in the extreme background the famous
cathedral of Antwerp with its high steeple.

With the rising interest, much greater
in European countries than in the United
States, in pure foods and the general sub
ject of hygiene, the international HYGIENE
and Pure Food exposition has assumed an
important place. To-day its exhibits are
the Mecca for thousands of manufacturers,
scientists, legislators and workers for the
public good from every corner of the world.
The awards of the juries are made with
such unmistakable impartialty and are so
decidedly announced for or against certain
food products that the knowledge gained
from a visit to the exposition serves as
absolute protection against fraud.
