AN AWFUL SLAUGHTER. A Tn!) of "Hollo" Known us the KHrmnm' Alliiin't" Cruelly MkIitchi'! ly tli "luctie lofh' " C I u t. t'romMoiiility't I imh. And lo! there was a mility cit3' within the confines of Hit otiiinlj' of Cass and state of .Nebraska and within that city there dwelt a race of "Hoboes." And these "I loboes'' dil form of themselves a tribe and thfj' did fiiihla.ou Ihemscl ves witli the cognomen of tilt "Farmers' Al liance," and thry did procure for themselves a room and did during the winter months pass their time in said room in a state of torpor. And tliey did really think them selves some pumpkins. And in the same -i 1 3- there dwelt another tribe of "Hoodoos" who called themselves "Hachelois," ami they were always awake and they did esteem themselves fit com panions for Kinjs and I'rinces. And the liiemhers of lioth of these tribes were what is known in base hall slang as "fans," and they all did "hoot" loud and long for the home cl uh. And it came to pass that one day 10 if I icy, the One IC3 e, or Killer, being a member of the trihe of "I lol iocs," a ml feel i 11 g a t peace villi all the world, did haiiter one Starch, ; ... ..... . 1 or iMarcli, or I arisen, as trie case may he, to take their respective tribes and hie them to the liasc hall park and do battle. And Tartscli, etc., did think it a great scheme and he did accept said challenge at once, and both tribes did j-estetday collide with great violence at the aforesaid base ball paik to the everlasting damage and mortifica tion of the tribe of '"I I oboes." For lo! there was in the tribe of "Hoodoos" a spellbinder by the name of Cliiford, and he did weave a spell over the tribe of "Hoboes" ho 111.1t t heir eyes were as the eyes of a dead dog sightless. And they could see not the ball to hit it, neither could they see it to catch it, and they were buried amid the lilacs, and buried so deep that the trump of the angel Gabriel can never awake them. And for the "Uachelor Hoodoos" White, Green, Reinhaekle, 3IcCarty and Clifford did take the most de light in scalping the unfortunate "Hoboes," while "Hoboes" Murray, Grimes, McC'03 , V'allery and Cole ably assistetl them in the execution. "Hoodoo" Green took great and exceeding pleasure in fanning the '"Hoboes" out, having in the neigh borhood of eighteen strike outs. "Hoodoo" Clifford performed a marvelous stop of a grounder in the fore part of the game which woke applause in the grand stand and bleachers. And at the bat he was out of sight. His frequent home runs and three baggers caused the audience to roar with enthusiasm. It was vaguely hinted that Anson was after him. "Hobo'' Vallery made a great circus play that established him in great favor with the crowd. He stopped a hot grounder and after turning around six times threw the runner out at first. The game aroused all the latent energy in the spectators and the applause was sharp and fre quent. This is the unofficial score: A Buryulur Bgued. The Dee this morning says: About 1 o'clock l ist Thursday j morning Officer Culleii saw a man wot king at the side window of Neil'. saloon on South Thirteenth street. The policeman slipped up on the j thief, but In- lied. Cuilen fired a j couple of shots but failed to bring, down his man who ran faster than ever and was soon lost in the dark- I ness. I'pon investigation the window was found broken anl directly under it in the alley lay a silver handled silk umbrella. This was taken to police headquarters and was the mean-' of capturing the crook. The cn.-e was given to 1 .-tect i ves Savage and Dempsey, and their lirsl move was to have Mr. Neti identify the umbrella. Tin's the saloon keeper did by stating that a man who had fre quently visited his place of late had carried such an article. A good tie scriptioii wasgien the detectives and they sallied forth to look for the man who had carried the um brella. Yesterday afternoon the officer were successful and arrested Jacob Kiimpult. on suspicion. jl the notice station he was searched and a fine gold stopwatch and two gold chains were found on his person. jailer Harvey looked up his list of stolen property and found that the description tallied with the hisses of Joe Klein at lMattsmouth ami word was immediately sent down. I)cput3 Sheiiil john Tighe and Joe Klein went up 011 the earl3' train this morning and found the thief was one Krumphullz who used to work for M. H. Murph3- and for the last two years had been em pIo3'ed at the shops in Steimkers de partment. When caught with the property ,,M 'ns person he weakened and admitted his guilt. In com paii3' with the sheriff tht'3- to-da-maile the rounds of the pawn shops, and a telegram received at o'clock this afternoon l3' Mr. Klein shows that much of his property will be recovered. There are three other men implicated but Kritm phuitz. has so far refused to give their names. He will be brought down on the dyer this evening.

VEGETABLE FATS. tVhy Tlifj Are Ilraltlilrr and Morn tritiotiH Tlian Animal It is a physiological fact that a cer tain amount of fat is necessary for the proper nutrition of tlie body Fat la derived from the carbonaceous elements contained in sugar, starch and grains The digestive process is carried on Set ter with the aid of a little fatty matter But it is not necessary to go to the ani mal kingdom for this, and it is a fact that vegetable oils are more easily di gested than animal fats They do not become rancid so easily Rancid fat is exceeding- poisonous. Nuts furnish an excellent natural oil and it is a mistake to suppose that they are dillicult of di gestion. The reason for the prevalent idea that nuts are hard to digest is that they are taken at improper hours and are not thoroughly masticated, often being swallowed in chunks. But if taken with a bit of bread or hard cracker, the firm, fleshy substance of the nut can be so finely divided that it will not be re tained unduly in the stomach, but will pass along to the duodenum where, by the action of the bile, the fatty sub stances contained will be digested aal fitted to be passed along further in the alimentary tract. Corn meal contains the largest per centage of fats of any of the grains. Peas, beans and lentils also contain forms of vegetable oil and are very nu tritious, wholesome foods. (Joing into the animal kingdom, the 3'olk of the egg is very rich in oil. being thirty per cent, of its substance. Extract from a lecture by Dr. J. H.
