BURIED BENEATH HIS OWN FLOOR , Drugged , Ilolilicd nnd Ijoft for Dond A JllnckHiiiUh'H Peculiar Ex perience With Thug * Affected With Iioss of Memory. C. Ness , n blacksmith whoso shop Is on Upper Droadway near the Methodist church , disappeared ono day last weak , and now that ho has tunica up again , ho tells a story that abounds In rich possibilities for some ama teur detective. Ho parted from his wife some time ago , and. since then ho has been living In a tent near the corner of Aucuuo C and Eighteenth stroot. > lo had bought the lot on which the tent stand ) , and until ho should be able to build u house was living In the tent. Last Thursday , ho states , ho was out all daj' with some other men riding around the country. At U o'clock ho was down at the transfer , and that Is the last ho remembers. Friday nmht sorao of his friends be came nlarinod at his disappearance and Instituted n search t his tent. On tearing up the boards In the lloor they found a hole which had been made as n place to store vegetables , and In the hole was Ness , securely wrapped up in a lot of old blankets and apparently dead. Dr. M. .1. Bellinger was summoned and the supposed dead man was given u hypodermic Injection of some thing Intended to reuse him from his leth argy and In a few minutes Ness sat up and looked about him In a da/ed sort of way. It was fully thirty minutes before ho could comprehend anything that was said to him , or could make an intelligent answer to any question. When nt last ho regained con sciousness ho told the above story ubout him self , but ho could not remember who the men wore that ho was with when ho fell asleep. Ho abe said that ho had been Intending to make a payment on his lot nnd had a largo amount of money In his pocket , but on feel ing in his pocket on wakliig up bo found that the whole amount , together with his watch and chain , was mlssine. The theory of those acquainted with the ease is that Ness was drugged by the follows with whom he claims to have been out riding Thursday and that ho was then thrown Into the hole under his tent after his valuables had boon taken from his pockets. It is thought that when ho fullv recovers from the effects of the drugs posslbl/ will bo able to remember whom ho was with before ho was robbed , but until that time the affair is n complete mystery.

The Sabbath stillness yesterday morning was broken by a lltllo scrap which took place in front of the Hotel Gordon on Broad way. The combatants were Nick Molltor , who tends bar at the Gordon , William Maloney - lonoy and Dan Graham , who keep the "Of fice" next door , and n traveling man from Kansas City , who profurred to have his Identity unknown. Until recently Molltor has been tending bar for Malo'noy , and when ho quit there was a dispute about the amount of wages duo him , which ended In his suing Maloney for the amount in question. Tbo lawsuit made Maloncy mad , and yesterday morning , so the story coes , ho determined to have some of young Molitor's gore. Ho caught Molitor in front of the hotel and commenced to administer a severe drubbing to him , wbilo Graham stood in the back ground prepared to offer nny assistance Unit might bo needed. The Kansas City mun pro tested In behalf ot Molltor and was told to keep his linger out of the pie. Ho refused to do so , however , and the light from that tlmo on wivs between Maloney and the traveling man. They fought , Ut and scratched until they both reached the opposite side of Broad way. There the traveling man sought refuge behind a lamp post , while from cither side he sent out his lists in search of Mnloney's noso. Maloney saw that he must have some assist ance , so ho yelled to Graham. Graham ran to the rescue , and between them they made the traveling man Hoe Inglorlously. Molitor was found after the fight was over nursing a nose that was nearly twlco its nor mal size , and with several tooth Just ready to drop out. Uoth ho and the traveling man filed informations against Maloney and Gra ham charging tUon- with assault nnd battery , nnd they threaten to make things lively for the pugnacious soloonlsts.

'Ihreo toughs who were on board whllcd away the tlmo by making low romutka in a tone of volco loud enough so as to bo hoard by a lady and her little girl , who sat not far away. The conductor remon strated with the toughs , but they very soon showed him that If he valued his complexion ho would best not interfere. They then re sumed their Insulting conversation , which nt last became so exasperating that a young man who had boon u silent listener arose , and going to tholr end of the car , ordered thorn to keep still. Ono ot the men made a pass at him , but ho parried the blow and the two clinched. They fell off the train In each other's em brace , nnd ono of the other toughs Jumped nftor them to render his comrade whatever assistance might bo necessary. The young man knocked them bo'.h down and sat on thorn , \vhllo the conductor , who had stopped his car , hugged himself to thlnK ho was out of it. The young man then cllmbod on board the motor ami pounded tbo third tough , completing the Job by throwing him bodily off the roar platform. In the melee tbo young man who acted as the bore of the occasion received n blow on tbo head that subsequently swelled to tbo size ot n goose ogK , but otherwise bo was untiurt. Ho re fused to give his name , as ho did not care to got u reputation as a slugger , Another Halloou Ascension. ArrnnpotnontB have boon made by which Prof. W. W.

Tnklni ; Awuy the People of Council Bluffs are wakening to the fact that the city has ceased to be a coun try village , and that many of the crazy p itch-work fen cos that wore designed not as things of beauty but rude utility tokoop peregrinating cattle from coming too close to the doors ot the pioneers , are no longer nee- cisurr. Within the past summer hundred * to the old uncouth structures that have de tracted from the beauty of the many flna lawns have boon taken away. Yesterday the disposition to drop old ploncor coun try village customs seized tbo people on upper Washington nvonue , and the crazy old fences In front of a number of flue lawns were torn nwny. The Improve- rnont was very great , so much greater than the owners imagined It would bo that no or- dlnarv Inducement could prevail upon them to replace them or permit nny other kind of on obstruction of the sarao nature to spoil the effect of handsome lawns. The splendid lawns of Judge Casntly and Spencer Smith were Increased In vohio hundreds of dollars by removal of unsightly fences. A strong effort Is being made to Induce the other resi dents on the street between North Second and Harrison streets to make the same Im- provcmentf , nnd then all Join In n general cnlsndo against the men who drive cattle through the streets.

Those Who Arc KiuhtinR 1'nstor Hall Cot , n Sunday Itonst. Kov. Dr. Hull departed from his usual course of breaking the broad of life to his hearers yesterday morning nnd Invited them to partake of a juicy , hot roast. The attempt of a portion of the church to organize a movement to secure his displacement nat urally aroused some curioslt > to hear what he would have to say about It. The curiosity was satisfied. The First Baptist churcn , of which ho is pastor , was well lillod and all listened eagerly. The services opened with the following pray or : "O , God , Thou seest that wickedness Is not restricted to the world , but that It is mani fest even tn high places In the church. Thou knowcst that there are in our midst tboso who delight in slander , nnd who nro seeking to pull down , instead of building up Xion ; Thou knowesthow they po about stealthily in the dark , seeking tholr victims ; how they wind their slimy oodles about the very pul pit , acd seek to fasten tholr fangs into the very heart of the church. God forgive them.1 And so the prayer wont on. Dr. Hall told the Lord what ho thought about the methods of these who wore trying to got him to re sign. sign.After a hymn , appropriate to such on oc casion , the pastor "picked up the bible and read : "Now I beseech you , brethren , mark thom which cause divisions and offenses con trary to the doctrine which yo have learned , and avoid thorn. For they that nro such servo not our Lord Jesus Christ , but their own belly ; nnd by good words nnd fair speeches deceive the hearts of tbo simple. " Then ho opened his manuscript and pro ceeded to instruct his hearers tn the necessity of obedience to authority , ns ono of the es sentials of any prosperous organization. Ho pictured slander as ono of the greatest of evils. The general principles were laid down by the speaker in a manner which at any other time would have held closely tbo attention of the audience , but it was evidently the application for which they were waiting. It camo. Ho declared that the church had beau cursed from its Inclploncy by a faction who are dls- obodloat and who were given to slander. God was still punishing the church because it had so shamefully used Rev. Dr. Thickstun , its lirst pastor. They had driven this worthy man out to live upon bread and water. At the same time the city showed Us estimate of the worth of the man by plac ing in his hands f-IOU in cash and numerous supplies to bo distributed by him among rho poor as ho saw fit. The city would hardly have given such a trust to any church in the city. God would never prosper any church which would thus abuse His servants. If God should , Gabriel and the angels would bo justified In rebelling against such n God. This church had driven out ono after another of its pastors. A faction in tbo church bad hounded them and slandered them continually. Dr. Hall said ho didn't propose to bo scared away. Ho had como to do a certain work and by God's help ho was going to stay and do it. Ho was satisfied that the discordant , slanderous element was in the minority. Ho detailed , numerous Incidents to show the meanness of the opposition. Two of the oflicotvj of the church , who ought to bo out collecting money to pay the pastor , wore running the streets , lying about him nnd working up a movement to throw him out. There wore a number who had Joined In this movement who had never been to any of the church services nnd never helped the church. They never took any interest In the church at any time , except when tboro was a chance to tight some pastor and maUo nrow. . Thov were like those who sought to kill Christ. They could not tind nny fault in Him , but they hutotl Hun because His pure life was a rebuke to their wicKodness. They claimed to bo the children of Abraham , but Chi 1st told them that they had made a llttlo mistake , and their father's ' iiamo was not Abraham , but the devil. Then the pastor sought a public expression of opinion by saying : "All of you who are in favor of such under- handca methods , all who believe In slander ing n pastor instead of upholding him , all who beficvo in supporting iurh u moan way of doing things. Just stand up. " Despite the plea of guilty with which the proposition was froightod.'nbout twonty-llvo or thirty sprung to their foot. "Look at thom. They are the ones who are determined to support slandering and un derhanded methods. No church cau prosper which will keep , such members. Now nil who do not believe In underhanded methods and unfair treatment will please rise citizens nnd all , whether members ot the church or not rise 1" A hundred people stood up. This show of a mujoilty seomqu to please the pastor , who again crowed thnt the discordant clement did not express the vlows ot the church Itself. Ho said ho had received a loiter from Key. Mr. 1'iopor , now at Seattle , who had reorganized tbo church hern after a disastrous bronk-up. Ho quoted Mr. Proper as stating that ho never had such u hard job. In regard to two members who are now seeking to got Mr. Hall removed , Mr. Proper said they were excluded from the church years ago , and ho did not know how they managed to get buck in again , but "If the undertaker and his wlfo do not behave themselves , put them out. " After some further comment of like nature Kov. Mr. Hull prepared to close tbo service , If such it could bo called , when up jumped n young inun Frank Compton nnd asked the privilege of making an ex planation or statement. Ho was evidently ono of tbo opposition , for Mr. Hall speedily made him sit down , saying , " 1 am running this service. I am the moderator of this meeting , und you cannot speaic , Ally gentleman desiring to make an announcement would have the courtesy to speak to mo privately , und let mo know what bo wanted to say. Instead of jumping up In this manner. " Thou up jumped another member , evidently ono of the opposition , and with Hashing eye and Hushed cheek declared : "I think we are entitled to fair play at least. " "That will do , sir , " said the pastor , nnd ho subsided , The closing benediction fell upon u congre gation which wes not In , a very hoavcnly state of mind to receive It. iAs they scattered there was much excited talk and the com incuts overheard Indication , division of sen timent , nnd much fccllntr.

"I desire to remove a somewhat sor- ions mlsnpprohcnpion under which the public boom to bo laboring , " writes the Burglar in the Cincinnati Commercial. "Householders have fallen Into the habit of regarding burglars as a class of human beings utterly devoid of senti ment. This is a flagrant error. "Tho public have also acquired the idea that burglars arc but a piano above murderers. Such an opinion Is totally undeserved. In my twenty years' career I have had to stub or shoot perhaps half a ilo/.cn persons , but they were obsti nate , bald-headed men who insisted upon getting out of bed to shako hands with me , or willful minded wives who would yell "Police ! " wlion there wasn't a policeman within a mlle of the iccno. I ran truthfully say that 1 have , as a rule , conducted all my burglarious operations in a gontqol , courteous and high-minded manner. Where 1 have found the family nervous in regard to windows , I have consulted their inter ests by arranging with the servant girl to leave a back door unlocked. In many instances , whnro I could have entered by a bedroom window with little trouble , I have gone to the pains of entering by the bason.ont , gradually working up'nnd giving the family time to hide their most valuable jewelry. . "I spnak for the entire profession when I sny that wo never shod blood when it can be avoided without loss of prestige and character. I am aware thnt there are certain 'rats' In our calling whoso unprofessional conduct has and is injuring us in the cstiuiatian of the bet tor class of people ; but , as ono bad clergyman may cast a slur upon the efforts of a score of good ones , so must wo , the innocent professional , suffer with the guilty 'rats. ' ltNo burglar who has any regard for his character will wear muddy boots on the parlor carpet , use a tallow candle in going through a house , or steal the change from a child's savings bank. My motto has always been : "Courtesy costs nothing , " and I seek to practice it. I never wake an eminent citizen out of a sound sleep without bogging his pardon for my intrusion , and 1 never demand his loose wealth without adding that I shrill consider it in Iho shape of a loan , to be repaid at the first opportunity. ' It is true that I am often compelled to exhibit a revolver , and to warn a" householder that any undue familiaaity on his part will result in a funeral pro cession from his residence inside of two days ; but I seek to do It in good English , properly punctuated , ? and with duo re gard to the rules of grammar. "I cannot regard the general antipa thy to burglars as well founded. I have associated with thom more or loss for a score of years , nnd am a witness to the fact that they are , as n whole , cultured , high minded and open hearted. The fault seems to bo with the public. When wo get into a house wo may discover thnt everything worth taking away has boon secreted or put beyond our roach. Wo are constnnty imposed upon with washed silver , bogus jewelry and Paris diamonds , nnd it is no wonder that wo sometimes exhibit a little impatience. No ono but a burglar knows how moan human nature can be. Wo are locked out , spring guns sot to kills us and dogs maintained to raise a row when wo have passed other dangers. The man who invented the burglar alarm was a sneak of the first water , and I am glad to know that ho died poor nnd friendless. "In conclusion , lot mo say that all wo burglars ask is a fair show. Leave a window open now and then. Don't bo so particular about your back doors. Give us opportunity to call at the kitchen door and pump the cook in re gard to the burglar alarm and the house dog. Don't bo so moan ns to sot spring guns. When wo do get in it is only right that wo should find the silver laid out on the table for us , the jewelry on the dressing case , and old baldhond's watch and purse where they can bo se cured without arousing the family and making trouble for Colonel Broitch's overworked policemen.

Nor would nny ono suspect as much should ho drop into the luxu riously furnished homo on the Arne ranch , some twonty-llvo miles southeast of Sacramento , Cal. , and there see a man who looks every day of (15 ( , of a rather flout llguro , and with a face much bloated and bearing every evidence of a life nny tiling but abstemious.
