Alxut 2 o'clock this Diornin-i a disturbance was heard near the Union Pacific crossing on Tenth street, and the officer on the beat hurry ing to the place found a man lying on the ground in an unconctous condition, with a severe cut over tho left eye. He was tacn to the central station in the latrol wagon,and on regainingjeonscious ucss stated that his name was I). T. Ma calestur, and that his litme was in Cres ton, Iowa. He arrived in Omaha from Plattsinuth last night, and at the depot met Eph Peel, an engineer and an old friend, and was invited by him to spend the night with him. In crossing the rail road track they met three men, who were unknown to Macalesttr but were ac quainted with Peel, and after going a short distance. Peel, without warning, drew a billy and knocked him down, after which the others jumped onto him. He claims that ho was robbed f $6. Macalester says lie is a scab engineer, but that Peel is also one, and that he cannot account for the assault. It is probable that he will lose the sight of the injured eye. Entombed by a Cave-In. Butte, Mont, June 4. Yesterday, at a few minutes to 12 o'clock, noon.a large cave occurred in the St. Lawrence mine,, commencing at the 500 foot level, en the hanging wall and letting in tho mountain clean up to tke 200 post, level. Thirty- five men had come out at JO o'clock on account of the squeeze and the balance of the men came out a few minutes be fore the cars. It was found when tha roll was called that four men were miss ing, vial Pit Hanington, Con Murphy, and two men who had just commenced to work. The men are . now at work from the Anaconda mine and going to the relief of (he entombed miners. The latest from the mine is that two of them have given signals with a hammer on the walls," which are heard by those dig ging through the cave-in. Whether they can rescue them within twenty-four hours is hard to say. The St. Lawrence is one. of the largest copper mines in this city, and employs GOO men. Charged With Assaulting a Daugh ter. Oakland, Neb., June 4. Quite a little excitement prevails in Oakland over the arrest of Bill Johnson last night for as sault with intent to commit rape upon his daughter, about 17 years old. The daughter swore out a warrant alleging that the assault was made on or about the 25th day af December, 18S7. Ed Renard went on his bond for $750 fur his appearance tomorrow tefore the county judge. Johnson is a Swede, and lives ona mile north of town. He is a well-to-do farmer, and has a wife and several children. It i3 known that the domestic relations of the family of late have not been very pleasant, owing to Johnson being addicted to strong drink. Developments are awaited with great interest. The relatives of the. family are highly respected, Buried the Man He Murdered. Htannis. Neb., June 4. On Monday, May 28, hear Cottonwood Lake, Cherry county, thirty miles northeast of here, occurred one of the most cold-blooded inu'ders that eyer happened in northwest Nebraska. JVcd Jlobinson, a dosperade of local note, went to the house of a man by the name of A. Sheldon and shot him dead. After the man was dead he shot hiui again while he lay on the floor. The nest iiirip; ue went and got a man by the name of .Sieve Carver, and together they buried him. The killing ??as done in a sparsely settled neighborhood and was not found out by the authorities un til today, Tb Sheriff of Cherry county is now in pursuit of the murderer. He is reported to be still in the neighbor hood. The murdered man leayes a wife and seven children. Cattleman Murdered. Valextixe, Neb., June 4.

"There never was but one lo comotive made In Georgia up to the time that on was made in Atlanta during the war. 1 hey needed engines mlcrhty bad then, and they went to work In the shops at Atlanta and turned out as good er look ing little locomotive as I ever seed, and they named It 'Sunshine,' and the railroad men took on over It er heap and every engineer wanted it for his. "lhings was hustling outen Atlanta, for old Sherman was doing Bomo of his winging erround, and it was feared he'd get the control of the Macon and Western then, and this little engine was erbont to be shut off, no the engineer he fired up and folks piled onto It and out she started for Macon. She was er sailing er long aa fast as ever an engine run them days, when, before you could wink your eye, she busted. That was the last of 'Sunshine,' and it was the last of er heap of folks, but it was war times and fifteen or twenty folks killed wasn't noticed worth talking erbout, bat In the wreck among the dead and wounded was found a little baby that nobody has ever claimed, and the little thing was not scratched by the wreck, but just set there in er little place and laughed and crowed 'Alam. mam, mam, ana we ksowed by that it was the little child of some poor refugeeing woman. They took rood care of the little thlncr, and it lived eight months after that, and the strange thin? Is that It never heard an eneine nor seed er car but what it would say them same words over: 'Mam, mam, mam. But it's over yonder, with 'Child Without Name' On its tombstone, and that ends It In this world, but it teaches tne lesson that war's er bad, bad thing." Atlanta Constitution. Rat of the Sewers. Mr. Webb, who has the largest fund of information as to the interior of sewers of any living man, tells some interesting facts about rats, some of which be esti mates as being about two feet long and weiffhlni? about eight or ten pounds. I he pure blooded thoroughbred stock of sewer rats are a distinct species, llouso and ground rats are smaller, leaner, sleeker, longer faced and loss powerful; thoy run lato the sewers through breaks, but re turn to their domiciles in the nouses. Sewer rats have nests in nooks and cor ners of dry, abandoned or unused walls; their claws are long and have the strength of steel hooks, which they somewhat re semble. They can easily displace a brick anywhere where the mortar or cement is old or more or less crumbling. Usually they seek the old and decayed sewers, tear their way through and burrow ana establish their "family residences" at their own sweet will, and do their mar keting wherever it may be convenient and attractive for them. They are naturally suspicious, coy and unsocial, although never belligerent un less cornered, in which case they will at tack ferociously and bite and claw vi ciously. When the men are atjwork in the sewers the rats are quite tame, and one workman had the "knack" of calling them to him by a peculiar humming or singsong noise, which they seemed to be fascinated by, and would come almost near enough to be handled- New York Star. City Roofs as Health Resorts. The proposition, ably discussed in Science, to utilize city roofs as health re sorts Is a suggestion deserving of careful and practical consideration. Why may this idea not be conjoined with the plan of having roof gardens? There is no rea son why roofs, in large and crowded cities, may not be so built as to be con verted into flower, and even vegetable, gardens. There axe not a few roofs so used already. The amount of oxygen and ozone thus liberated, and of carbon gases utilized and substracted from tho air, would be enormous. If sower gases are to be carried to the roofs, and so dis seminated Into the air, the adoption of the garden system would bo all the more desirable. Certainly the degeneration and devitalization attendant on living in crowded tenement houses . must in some way be counteracted. Nothing could be more grateful to a sick or puny child than the fresh air and flowers that such a sys tem as suggested might furnish. Globe Pemocrsi. Inwardness of Book Wotlce. In nine cases out of ten the critical notices are carefully measured to accord with the size of the advertisement handed in at the business office. If a publisher advertises, his books . receive notice; twenty lines secure a good review, forty a better one. If a play is ever so bad, tho State critic can find much good La it if he oks through the greenback lorgnette furnished by the business office of the mighty organ of public opinion by which he is employed. Tho book reviewer's Judg ment Is warped in the same way; his favor Is bought at the cashier'B desk. K The Battle of Vterloo. A foolish woman in society one asked the Duke of Wellington to give her on account of the battle of Waterloo. "Oh," replied he, Kit very easily done. We pummeled them, tbey pummeled' ua, and I cuppose wa pao incled the hardest, so wa gained" the day." Mitford said that Creevy went to the duke after his return to JJrussek from Waterloo to congratulate hua. Tho duke rejected con gratulation and said, "It was a dreadful business, SJ.000 men destroyed, and a d near thing." When the duke was sitting to Phillips the latter asked hha, "Was not your gracVsurpviied at WatoiloQP ''Never till now, he auiwjMsd, Hz!. THE PLUCKY LITTLE CONFEDERATE DAILY PUBLISHED IN VICKSBURG. Printed on Wall Paper When the Snpply of White Paper Was Exhausted A Plea for. Mule Meat 'Hopeful to the I-uhU Kxchanginc; for Northern Papers. "The VickBburg Daily Citizen" was tho pretentious title of a little sheet isstiM in the besieged city, never much for iXw, but always as full of light as a littlo onion is of pungency. When white paer ran out. The Citizen appeared on the whito sido of wall paper. When succeases wcro gained, it glorified them; when nouocoul.l be heard of it invented some, and just as the situation grew darker ill Vicksburg tho tone of the little daily grew more defiant ami hopeful. It is said that there aro now but two complete files of this paper in existence, and most appropriately one is owned by a Federal and tho other by a Confederate officer, both ejurvivors of the siege. Toward tho last the paper got out only semi weekly, and this artlcJo in ono of tin issues was rend in the Federal Luca Hiiuui two hours after it was issued: "Wo aro indebted to Maj. Gillespiofor a steak of Confederate bcpf alias mulo meat. We have tried it and can assure our frion.Is that they need have no scruples ot eating the meat. It is sweet and tender, nud so lt ng as we have a inulo left, we are satisfied our soldiers will bo content to subsist on it." This paper was exchanged for northern papers daily on tho piekot lines of tho two armies. In every besieged city since history bejjan there has been a popular cry that some citizens had concealed stores of food; and so we find this in The Citr.en: "We are satisfied that many people have breadstuff's secreted, and that they aro doling it out at most exorbitant price It is char god that some are selling flour at f a pound; corn $10, and molasses $10. If this is proved, let tho brand be placed on their brow, that humanity may scorn and shun them as they would the portals of hell" Pretty soon after things began to look blue in Vicksburg; so the editor announced that he had received late New York, Richmond and Cattanooga news, and sums it up thus cheerily: A HOPEFUT, VIEW. "Today the mongrel administration of Lincoln is like Japhet in search of a Father, for their Old Aba has departed to parts un known. Wo lay before our renders an ac count of tho brilliant onslaught (iu Mary land) upon the Lincoln hordes, and show, even from their own records, how the gal lant boys of our cavalry have flashed their swords to the Lilt with the ranting foes and how each musket of our infantry has told its fatal leaden tale. Success and glory to our arms. God and right aro with us." When the fatal day came tho publisher had thi3 article set for the next issue: " "On dit: That the great Ulysses Gen eralissimo, surnamed Grant, has ex pressed his intention of dining in Vicksburg on Saturday next, and celebrating tho 4th of July by a grand dinner, etc. When asked if he would invite Joe Johnston to join hiiu he said, 'No, for fear thero would bo a row at the table.' Ulysses must get into tho city before he dines in it. Tho way to cook a rabbit is 'first catch your hare,' etc." That number, however, was noi issued by tho publisher. It so happened that th first Federals to reach the center of tho cify wero printers. They took possessioa of tLe com pleted "forms," "lifted" the last article in the page, inserted the following and struck off several copies: irOTE. Tu5y i. 1SC3. Two days brinj about great changes. Tho banner of the Union Coats over "icksburg. Gen. Grant has "caught tho rabbit." Ilo iiua arrived iu Vicksburg and he did bring his dinasT with Lira. The Citizen lives to see it. For tho last time it appears on wall pr.per. No mora will it ealosiz'J the luxury of mule meat and f ricaK;cd kitten nre southern warriors to such diet never more. Except this note this issua is from th typc3 just as we found thero. It will bs valuable hereaf tor as a curiosity. Cave Life in VicUsljnirjf. During the long and terrible siege f Vicks burg, women, children and families remained within the city. As the bombardment grew hotter and hotter, there was no longer safety for them in the houses. They burrowed caves in tho hillsides, and lived there, prairio dog fashion, to avoid the Mini balls and bursting shells that constantly swept tha doomed city. There were often heartrending scenes, in spite of tho precaution of living iu caves. A lady who passed through tho siege writes: "Sitting in the cave one evening, I heard the most heartrending screams aud moans. A mother had taken a child into a cave about a hundred 3ards from us. Saving laid it upon it3 little bed, as tha poor woman be lieved, in safety, she took her seat near tha entrance of the cave. A mortar shell came rushing through tha air, entering th earth above tha sleeping child, cutting through into tha cava OU1 most horrible sighs to the mother, crushing in the upper part of tho littlo sleeping head, and taking away tho young innocent life without a word or loo!; of passing iovo to ba treasured in tkq mother's heart. "I sat near the square in tha moonlight, silent and sorrowful, hearing tho moans of a mother for her dead child, the child that a few moments since lived to caress, and tq love, speaking tha tender words that eadsap so much the tie of mother and child." What Is Dirt, Any Way? A good ash floor, properly laid, will cost less in its fifty years' of wear than tha car pets that are bought to cover a cheaper floor. But I suspect the carpet item in this estimato must be that of health. In our old carpets, in spite of good housekeeping, lark tb? girm3 of the diafiios that from tini to time readai the house so sad and homeless. What is this dirt any way? The queerest stuff imaginable. Should you burn It in tha passage, its candescence would show with tb spectroscope lines indicating ahr.oEt all knowu th9 wear from tho nails in your shoes.
