A casual remark w as made the oth-!
er day In the presence of tne IIekalt
which is worth more thai: passing no
tice. The remark made w as in effect
that the entire success of the steam
heating apparatus in the opera house
block, proved that it was just what was
i teded in the high school building to
heat comfortably i he different rooms
for the co.'ulort of pnpiis and for econ
omy's sakr to the city. It is well for
the school board and citizens to think
of this. AM wh ) hate children at
tending there know the complaints
thai are made of cold rooms on cold
days and the almost impossibility some
days to make them comfortable. The
furnace system there is a failure; haul
coal stoves to heat the large rooms are
not au entire success and are an ex
pensive luxury. A practical examin
ation will prove that the building can
be thoroughly healed by steam at all
times and at less expense than the
present system. Therefore the school
board and the city should consider
such an improvement. '
The K. C. train, Saturday night, just
after leaving Omaha, met with quite
an accident which resul ed fortunately
without loss of life. The boggage aud
smoking car jumped the track when
the train was running about twenty
miles au hour, the car turning on its
side, aud being well mashed up as well
as the front end of the coach next to
it. Some of the passengers were bruis
ed and well shaken up but no serious
injuries were sustained.
The Missouri I'acilic. from all ac
counts, suffered the most from snow
in this part of the state, the road be
ing a north and south one, and having
many deep cuts all along the line in
the state. A large force of men were
placed at work after the storm in
cleaning out the track and forwarding
abandoned trains.
TLe C. B. & Q. company, which was

On the i:)th day or .January, Will. .1.
Warrick filed it ronipl.ilnt In the coun
ty court against L:w. I. Myers churg
ing hini with embezzlement of money,
while- einphiyed as a cl.-rk in the com
plainants drug store i:i thij city. On
the same evening Mycins was arresttnl
and brought into court and the case
Continued till the l'tli inst. On that
day a further continuance was granted
and the case cauie on for trial yester
day. The defendant demanded a jury,
the amount alleged to have been em
bezzled being less than ?:i3.0o. The
following being :t list of the jurors:
M. B. Murphy, Nelson Jean, L. 1).
Bcnnvtt, A. W. White, F. 1. (jiilliuiau
and Fred. Hermann. The case was
prosecuted by .1. B. Stiode and M. A.
Hart igun,' and defeudnd by A. Beesuii.
The testimony of Mr. Warrick was to
the effect that at divers tunes he had
c ounted t he Ui'nt. v m ll'i tills w hen
toing out of the .stole and on his It
Iiiiii would a' iin coii i'. t'le same, and
t til owing otf eel lain sales liaving been
made, the amount in the lids would
lint ctl'i eepond theiewilh. On the
lJlh day ot this in 'i 1 1 It he said he
eoutiud all the money ill the tills ami
then lel'i the store and had the deputy
sheriff scud in pal tics to buy articles
and pay the cah. n his return the
1 ciish was short s.:'ii and no entries on
tLe books oi elsewhere to show for it.
Aain on die 1 ilh he had MieiilV Ily
eis go inti the store early iu the morn
ing before Myers had returned from
his breakfast arid e unit the in ti y in
all the. money drawers when they
I'Klh left the stoic. Mr. Wnl l ick went
aivuy sleigh riding and the siicrilf
Stint iu several put t u s to buy goods.
As soon as Mr. Wail it k letiirned, he
sant Myers to the post ollice and beck
oned to tho sheiilT on the opposite
side of the street to come and count
the cash iu the draweis. The amount
in the drawers was found to be short
2.l5. Myers in his defence claimed
to have taken two dollars and charged
the same to himself on the books for
it; but Warrick swore that the charge
was made before Mye s came back
from bis breakfast. The parlies who
purchased goods during Mr. Warrick's
absence testified as to the amounts
they each spent in the store. The
trial lasted nil t'ay and about live
o'clock was given to tin jury. Mr.
li?eson asked the jury to return a ver-dit-t
of not guilty and that the charge
was made without probable cause.
The jury were out about one hour
when they brought iu a verdict of not
guilty, but refused to say there was
not probable cause for the action.
Mr. Myers has lived in l'lattsmouth a
long time and has always been re-
i garded as strictly honest, and the
! IIiluai.d is glad that he is by the vei-
diet of six good men. cleared of this
criminal charge, for w h it six as good
men as composed that jury say after
hearing all the evidncp ought t i sat
isfy everybody.

I T he beginning of :i now story l y
W. D. Howells. in the Midwinter

by the- discussion, in the pa:-t tour

pose and literary (iiulities of A Mod

notch of curiosity to sec ihe opening
chapters of "A Woman's Ilcitson "
His readers will not be disappoiuted.
The scene is onre more Boston, but
the social atmosphere and the pur
pose have undergone a complete
change. Only the style remains the
same; but here, too, the reader will
perceive frc-hness of attitude nri a
new vivacity. The fourth part of the
'Led-Horse Claim," by Mary 'hillock
Foote. heightens the dramatic inter
est of this fascinating story, which
will end in the .March number. Evich
part is embellished by a picture from
the author's pencil. Mrs. Burnett's
"Through One Administration" is de
veloping a new interest as it nears
the conclusion. The short story of
the number i- a humorously fancilul
tale, by Frank K. Stockton, entitled
"The Spectral Mortgage."
Leading public questions receive un
usual attention in this number of the
Century, fov which reason it is appro
priate that the frontispiece should be
a portrait of George A iliiam Curtis
(one of Cole's most successful engrav

the well-known essayist and publicist
being contributed by S. S. Conant, of

I'laitsmouth should have oue hun
dred subscribers to the telephone ex
change instead of fifty to show tho en
terprise in the support of the modern
conveniences that other places show.
The telephone system has been in
vogue here nearly a year now and
thosj who have taken instruments aud
used them kuow how useful
they are in busises.s. If parties in the
city would take instruments and
double the number in the exchange
the usefulness to old and .new sub
scribe! s would be nearly doable. The
telephone being a grand success is
worthy a more liberal support.
The roads out in the county are re
ported to be in a very bad condition
from the big snowdrifts, which have,
in places, entirely blockaded the high
ways so that long drives are necessary
to get around; nevertheless the town
has been full of farmers, fur the last
two or three days busy trading.
Why is it that our efficient Chief of
Police does not have the sidewalks
cleaned up, they are in a decidedly bad
condition, our neighboiing cities have
taken the matter in hand and show up
in respectable shape.

lowing are among the press notices:
Nothing could' well be more

go Times.
One of the funniest comedies ever
written, and bound to have a long
run. Chicago Tribune.
Stolen kisses is a very effective and
amusing comedy, and its scenes tickle
the auditor until laughter is the only
outlet for the sensation. The house
is nightly filled. St. Louis Republi
can. Tuesday night I went with the pret
tiest girl in San Francisco to the Bush
street theatre. Her smile is sunlingbt,
and her laugh that sunlight set to
tune. So Mirthful was Stolen Kisses
that we did nothing but laugh. So
had opera as well as comedy. It w
indeed a comedy; bright, sparkling,
and full of exhileration, it fairly intox
icates. Sucn wit, such humor,, sueh
satire, such a combination of the
buoyant and beautiful in dramatic
dialogoe, is never found outside of a
French play. It is rich in plot, rich
in scenes, rich in everything, in fact
that contributes to attractiveness. I
do not know when I have been so
thoroughly entortained as I was by
the Lingards. As an imitably qtaaint
and yet peculiarly natural comedian, I
do not believe that William Horace
Liugard has a superior now living.

January Corn Comer.
Cnit -a tin, Jar.. John B. Lyon & j
Co., a heavy board of trade firm filed a j
bill iu ihe circuit court today against !
about a dozn other firms, alleging that j
the defendan'.s conspired to corner!
January corn, by which conspiracy !
ihe pi ice of corn has been raised lit ;
teen cents above its actual ptice. The i
bill asks the defendants to l enjoined !
from calling ou complainants lor mar- '
gins or repurchasing for their account '
when margins are not put up. The I
suit is brought to test the statute j
which provides that all contracts made
with parties running a earner shall be I
void. Lyon & Co., are short two bun-j
dred thousand bushels of corn sold at !
4S.I4t'.-"5',le. The suit has caused
much excitement on "Change, aud the
markets are depressed for a lime.
From the above associated pi ess
dispatch, it would seem the great
boom in prices is not the healthy out
growth of a heavier demand, but is
owing principally to speculations on
"Change. If that be ttue, the produc
ers may find it profitable to sell at once
rather than wait for an uncertain May
or June rise.
This section of the state never had j
