rvcro rnkcd up with the most reckless aban
don , nnd for somb reason Clutteibuck nnd
Cotter could not hitch. A quarrel took plnco
last Saturday nteht In wnlch Ciattcrbuck

thnt ho had lost several front
ccth which , when lust seen , were
Jn close proximity to Cotter's coot. The re
port , Is denied by Chlci Levin so far us the
teeth nro concerned , but for sonio reason or
other Clutterbuck has disappeared , und all
Incjulrors after him are told that ho is n
homo taking cnro of his sick wife. Cotter It
considered by the chief to Do ono of the bcss
men In the company , and that fact prevents
him from getting u scoring for hU loss of
temper. Levin states that Cluucrbuclc Is
simply taking n lay-off In tbo hope that when
ho goes buck to work the captain will uppro-
jcluto htm better , and things will run inoro
Ifoothly. _

\ Woman Gives a Church a Thousand
on ilcr Deathbed. .
NEWCASTLE , Pa. , July 14. The Eoworth
Methodist Episcopal church has just received
a legacy of $1,000 In a very peculiar way.

in gold , Then the old lady was carried into
the house again und made n will bequeathing
$1,000 to the church und $500 to the Newcastle

formed her of the provisions of the statute ,
suggesting that If she desired the church to
have the $1,000 beyond question she had
bettor pay the money over before her death.
This she did and ho gave bis receipt and the
congregation U richer by that amount bud
poorer by the less of a devout worshlupor.

provo of nny examlnntlon , no matter how
slow Ills , so [ OUR i it Is fair.
It M wondered lioro why the driiRgUt who
stood In with Dr. Test Is not put uuon the
stnnit. It Is not belloveJ that ho would com
mit perjury , and if ho only tolls all ho Knows
it Is assorted thai there would bo developed
sonio startling facts in regard to the corrup
tion of certain members of the lotflslnturo.
There nro a nurabor of citizens hero who posi
tively clcclnro that not only the druggist
but also the baker might bo nblo to tell somo-
tiling about the corruption fund of STOO
raised for members of the legislature and to
secure the passage of the deficiency bill for
the asylum. A number of well known citi
zens say that when the corruption fund
was being raised that iho druggist and the
other follows interested in It assured the
merchants upnrouchod that In case the bill
was passed the money contributed would bo
returned.
In two or three instances it is known that
contributions have actually been made
good and It is therefore sup
posed that all contributors to the
corruption fund have received back the
amount contributed by them. Now not only
the citizens of Hastings , but it is safe to
assume that all the taxpayers of Nebraska ,
would like to know from what source these
funds wore drawn to repay these contribu
tors. If the state of Nebraska paid those
fellows. It Is u mod that the cilUuus of the
state should know it. This Is the reason thnt
there is considerable speculation as to
whether the druggist will bo called on to
testify. _
