CITY COKDIALS.
Word has just ln-tn received as we
go to press that the depot at Pacific
Junction U on tire and that the fire cannot
be kept under control. Full particulars
tomorrow.
The Board of Health oflicers are
holding a meeting tliis afternoon at the
office of Dr. Cook for the puiposc of
making arrangements, if possible, to
check the fast spreading epidemic the
city is infested with at present.
The little daughter of Mr. Dave
O'Brien, hix years of age, died this morn
ing about 7 o'clock, of diphtheria. The
child haa only Imh-ii ftick about two days.
A little boy about three years of age, lm
longing to the same family, is similarly
affected and is not expected to live but a
khort time. The funeral of the little
irl will take plate tomorrow afternoon
nt 2 o'clock from the father's residence,
corner of Vine ami Sixth streets.
- "His Natural Life," which will be
played at the Waterman opera house to
night, is one of the most fascinating of
plays. Several have read the play and
no one have we ever beard denounce it.
An the company was obliged to ..too over
a day some place before reaching their
next town, they stopped off at Platts
mouth, this being the reason why the last
company has lnen followed so closciy.
They deserve a good house.
W. K. Paul, who was arrested at
Seward on the charge of cmlnzzlemrnt
of $7. from the Metropolitan Manufac
turing company while engaged in selling
goods in this city for the above company
several month ago on the installment
plan, is bting tried here today before
Judge Potteng. r. Mudt. Mvnster & Sea
brook, of Council Muffs are ptv.i.'cuting.
Mr. W. II. Isard. a member of the Metro
politan Manufcturing company, of Oma
ha, is the chief witness.
A commercial man narrowly escaped
a neck-break this morning.one would say
who was acquainted with the eircum
nt&nrcs we have reference to. The man
we speak of weighs about two hundred
pounds, at least. Early this morning as
he was about to descend the stairs at the
Biddlc house he missed his step and
started at the top and rolled like a heavy
ball to the last stop, striking the floor
with a thud. With the exception of
loosening a iew boards at the bottom of
the stairs no damage was done to the
bouse. He was surprised to be "able to
pick himself up and walk away unin
jured. If IJarnum had not retired from
the show business the man would surely
stand a good chance to secure a situation
with him as an extraordinary tumbler.
The dogs will no doubt suffer today
nt the hands of the police. All foun
running loose on the Ftretts withou
muzzles or tags, will be hrtu upon iy
our city protectors. It is to be hoped
that about rive thousand of the sleep in
terrunters will be allowed to run loose
a
today for the last time. The death of
about five thousand of those useless
canines that nrowl around durinir the
a
night, and keep up a continual howl
would be a great relief to the community,
This will rclieve"many individual who
have sworn to be avenged, on the dis
turbers and were about to commit tin
deed themselves, llequiscat in ptace.
Mr. W. II. Pool's little bo v. about
three years of age, who has been sick for
several djys with the prevalent disease
here at preent,diphtheria,died last night
about eight o'clock. Every possible
aid Was securctl to in sure Ins recovery
but all efforts were in vain. Almost
every day of late new cases of this dread
epidemic are reported, and it remains, as
yet, unchecked. The funeral has been
arranged to take place tomorrow morn
ing from the residence of Mr. W. II.
Pool at 10 o'clock and proceed to Eight
31ile Grove where interment will take
place. Rev. W. B. Alexander, of the
31. E. church, will conduct the obsequies.
All the county offices here will be closed
tomorrow afternoon on account of the
funeral.
A fire occurred yesterday afternoon
in the store of Mr. J. V. Week bach, in
-which a house was destroyed, value.I at
About $2.. The building was about
thrfc.- ft-'ft square, built on the latest plan.
and on fhc top was located a tine steeple.
The window were enclosed with red
tissue paper sj il.st they wou'd throw
out a red reflection vLaj the house was
lighted up. Miss Anna Wekbach had
just completed the decoratioC and tad
fitted it for the window for a ijrand

The new proprietors of the Norfolk
New signalized their advent to the con
rol of the paper by giving it a new head
and changing the make up, all of which
is for the better.
Tonight.
The play '"His Natural Life" aa prc
sente.l by Chas. C. Manbury and Neliie
Boyd, supported by an excellent com
pany, with a full line of original and
special ccenery and mechanical stage
effects, should have a liberal patronage
from our citizens. A genuine "Ram
Storm"' of real water, with other special
seem s introduced during the play of real
merit will be worth the price of admis
sion alone. Their advance representative
Mr. Ilolloway, who is a relative of the
Dovey Brothers, and who has been here
on several occasions in advance of good
attractions, assured Hun&ger Young, that
the company and play is just as. reprin
ted, mid that he can recommend it with
out any hesitation to the opera house pa-trv-iis.
So go to the opera house tonight
and Y-xi w'JJ be well pleased.

1. D. Dickenson, n blacksmith in
the IJ. & M. Shops, and a step-father to
Jcdd Vance, the boy who so narrowly
esrap.-d death by being struck on the
head by a locomotive last summer, has
made himself very notorious in this civ-
iliz Vi community by the depredations he
committed yesterday morning at his home
in B; bngs town before starting to work.
Mrs. I ickenson'-s little girl, and sister of
Jedd Vance, caught a very bad cold a
few d ys ago and Tuesday night took a
severe lit of coughing and caughed near
ly tin- whole night. The coughing an
noj'ed Dickenson very much, and in the
mcrniiig when he arose, he told his wife
to throw the d d girl out of the
hous:-, and insulted her for some time
tints. She told him that the girl would
rem;;::i in the house as long aa did.
This statement seemed to infuriate him.
when he at once commenced to pound
iff s severely in the face as to mark it
up outrageously. Her face is now com
let 1 !y covered with bruises received
from Mows dealt by him. A man who
would treat a women in such a brutal
nwin:vr as that, in a civilized community.
shouKi be treated by tie law to it fullest
exttiir. The autlr rities are anxious to
arrej-: him and would immediately do so
if a i.implaint were tiled. We trust that
this ;.:;m may yet be brought to account
for i'-.ji brutal action and be dealt with

1 know a cas-3 where a poor serving
! roman took her little bed and gave t
: i a sick woman, and herself slept on
iiie hard tloor for weeks thereafter. A
uoor naral vtic comes to mv door everv
week and gets alms; it is liard to keep
a silver quarter in the pocket when a
deformed man crawls by on his hands
and knees. How many of these poor
wretches one sees on ramy afternoons
crawling along through the mud and
dirt of the sti-eets. Many say, care
lessly, that these ioor people should
le in the hospitals, but they pre
fer, when able to do so, to
fret out into the grld of
their fellows and trust to .the
charity of the fortunats who haye
logs to walk on, for a few bits of
money to keep them fi-om starvation.
J. know a poor woman, paralyzed from
the knees down, who, with her babe
in her arms, kneels in one of the pub
lic gardens and receives the charity
people bestow on her. If she gets
twenty-five cents in a day, she lives
well and has a little meat and possibly
a drop of coffee. If she gets but six
cents she lives on that, and thanks
heaven. In the lottery of life some of
us draw prizes sound limbs, good
lungs and clear heads, while others,
equally worthy, get the blanks. I can
not help thinking, as I walk the streets
of Mexico, that it is good for the pros
perous, the comfortably off, to see
these poor cripples, these blind men
and women, these strange beings, half
human, who crawl at your feet. Shut
them lip jn hospitals, and one forgets
that Ihey. exist. The "charity yiich
one put3 into a plate at church goes
only indirectly to the afflicted. Half
the pleasure of doing good is lost.
For years there was seen around the
streets here a dog faced lad, who
walked on his hands and feet like an
animal. I haye not seen hirn for
months, and perhaps he is dead. The
stcrr went that this strange, fantastic
freak of nature was born the son of
well to do 'parents, who. distrusted at
his horrid shape, turned him into the
streets. On chilly winter mornings he
went about in cotton, for he was de
cently covered, but his expression of
sadness and hunger and weariness
went straight to the jieart. To see
this poor fellow made one ashamed of
being able to walk upright. Those of
us wlio gave him small coins now and
then do pot, I fancy, regret it, now
that ho ljas gone from sight. For tho
student of puman development this,
lad would have been a treasure". H
was human, but he was also brutish.
Sights such as these make the blood
run chill in the veins, but they also
prompt little acts of charity which
make giver and recipient feel their
common humanity. City of .Mexico
