Owneyia the name of a Scotch terrier belonging to the postmaster at Albany, N. Y. The dog is about 17 years of age, has made one cir cuit of the United States and is now on his second tour. He landed in Omaha yesterday and some of the boyes at the postoffice added a tag labeled "Omaha Postoffice" to the many that are now on his collar had his picture taken and put him on the train for the Black Hills. The agents along the line are all on the watch for the dog, and after he has gone as far west as the owner desires, he will start for home. Owney is a very intelligent dog, being able to discriminate a mail wagon from any other. When he gets tired of one town he catches the mail wagon, rides to the depot, gets into the mail car and is in this manner making his tour. World-Herald. Too Oft an ths Cass.

To Clean House? Gentle Spring usually brings house cleaning and a general overhauling.

If you are, remember handsomer line than ever we Hie showing a tetore in fussels, Ingrains, Tapestry The excitement over the outrag. ing of Mrs. J. M. Fost.of Salina, Kan Wednesday night is not abating. Monday two negroe9 were arrested at Brookville, each answered in some particular to the description given by Mrs. Fost of her assaulter. They were brought to the city and lodged in jail. All night a mob surrounded the jail guardiugto see that no attempt should be made by the officers to remove the prisoners to a place of safety. Many represen tative citizens were in the crowd and the purpose of the mob was plainly to uscertain us quickly as possible whether or not either of the prisoners was guilty of the outrage. The officersatteinpted by a bogus telegram purporting to come from Solomon City and coti- tainuing the alleged information that the real criminal had been surrounded at Solomon City, and asking that as many men as could be secured at Salina should be sent down to assist in capturing the criminal, to create a diversion, but the crowd, fearing that the telegram might be true and yet suspected it to be u scheme, appointed a strong guard to surround the jail, and the remainder were taken to Soloman City on a special train. On arriving they discovered the telegram to be a ruse and returned at once to Salina, where they guarded the jail until moruing. Tuesday morn ing Mrs. Fost arrived at the jail and stated positively upon seeing the negroes that neither were guilty and they were released. At a later hour in the afternoon a man was arrested at Caldwell, 200 miles south answering the description of Mrs. Frost's assailant. The sheritl has gone for tke prisoner, and it is felt confident that he is the criminal. He will be hanged immediately if identified by Mrs, Fost. James W. Hamilton, colored ex preacher and convicted of wife murder, was electrocuted in the prison at Sing Sing Monday at 11 o'clock. The crime for which he suffered the penalty was the premeditated murder at Wiufield, Long Island, in May, 1892, of Annie Brooks, a pretty colored girl whom he betrayed and was forced to marry three years before. They did not live together, and Hamilton tried in vain to secure a divorce from her. He expressed a deter mination to get rid of her, decoyed her from Flushing, L. I., where she was employed, to Wiufield, where he cut her throat. Death was in stantaneous and unlike all former excutions there was only one con tact oi ine eiectroaes. mere was no scorching or scalding of the skin or steaming at the electrodes, and produced the moat successful results yet carried out. mis novel prooiem is now circulating among the newspapers seeking a solution: A freight train one mile in length stopped with a caboose just opposite the depot. The conductor got orders to move his train to the next station, which was just five miles distant He gave the engineer orders to move, which the latter did, while the conductor walked over ahead on top of the cars and got there just as the en gine arrived at the next station where he got off. The question is how far did he walk, or as he was walking the entire five miles, did he ride at all? At the Mercy of a Maniac ! One day the Duke of Welling ton cat writing at his library table quite alone, his door was suddenly opened without a knock or an nouncement ot any sort, and in stalked a gaunt man, who stood before - the commander-in-chief with his hat on and a savage ex pressions of countenance. The Duke was of course, a little annoyed at such an unceremonious interrup tion, and, looking up, he asked: Who are you?" "I am Dionysius." was the singular answer ."Well what do you want?" "Your life." "My life." 0,.e third l)f lhe cal,hil "Yes; I am sent to kill you." "Very furiture of said bank. odd, said the duke, sittinz back and calmly gazing at the intruder. "Not at all, for I am DionrBius." said the stranger; and I must put you to death." "Are you obliged to perform this duty to-day?" asked the commauder-in-chif; "lam very busy just now ,and have a large number of letters to write. It would be ver inconvenient to day." The visitor looked hard durintr a moment's pause. "Call again." contiuued the duke, "or write, aud make an appointment." "You'll be ready?" "Without fail," was the reply. The maniac awed, doubtless, by the stern old soldier, backed out of the room without further words, and half an hour later was safe in Bedlam Argonaut. satisfied that sr C'Uuy clerk t Antony Loyd aud Jennie Butler will try to enjoy matrimonial bliss, having been placed in thatjposition by Judge Archer.

Then, and not till then, will the last vistage of sectional feeling be obliterated from the millitary spirit of this na tion and make us a prfect reunited people. We believe that events will transpire during the next three or four years, perhaps much sooner, which will "shelve" the now com moil expression, ana substitute in its place a reference to a war in which the people of the United States, as a whole, will have a com- mon pride unci Interest in discus sing at cair.p-fires, re-union aud public gatherings.

Ringer of Omaha was down looking over his fruit farm just west of the city last week. We are indebted to the correspon dent of the Times in Paris whose happy function it is to furnish ar tistic news about artistic toilettes to readers (of the correspondent's sex?), for authoritive information that the reign of crinoline is not yet. This cheerful intelligence comes from two ery high sources, one the supreme French dress maker of his time, and the other an Kuglishman of equally undoubted supremacy. As is characterastic ol the respective races, perhaps, that the Englishman says that crinoline will not be used, and cites the de cisive fact that "twelve" note the proud exactuess of this numeral, not a dozen, nor any vagut expres sion ot number, but precisely twelve "royal personages" whom he has had the honor to wait upon for instructions as to their ward robes have not mentioned crino line. Ou the other hand, the Frenchman says with equal pride and authority, but ot different kind, that crinoline shall not be used. He will not permit it. Has he not giv en his precious time and his inval liable talents giadually and firmly to lead the daughters of Kve to a style ot wearing apparel which if not so simple as that of their great ancestress, shall at least not con fuse and pervert the noble lines of inherited from her? And shall he now, in the hour of his triumph, when feiminine charmsjto thejremo test ends of the earth enjoy the aid and enchantment of his art, submit to see them subjected to this hid eous and monstrous defilement called crinoline.' Thousands of thunders and n uuesof all mention able things! Jamais? jamais! Both of which assurances we accept with profound relief. If royalty, inherit edor earned, forbids crinoline, the common sense of our republican women may be left free to reject it ror ine moment we breath more easily. Harpers Magazine. The will of Mr. Jas.
