A NEW DRY GOODS STORE

"lllilley V It Could Not Btiinil
the 1'ressnro Anil
WAS BOUGHT OUTRIGHT BY
THE BOSTON STOR13.
It is the biggest stock thut was oversold
sold outright to any western house.
Stonohill's stock was not in it , by com
parison. >
It is almost as big as any dry goods
stock carried by anyone in Omaha todny.
It has taken sixty export packers and
stock keepers ever two weeks , working
all day and late at night , to got it
packed and ready to bhip.
It will crowd clour up to the ceilings ,
every Hoop , of our own building and the
cntiro second iloor of the Stonohlll build
ing und not bo 1ml f in.
They , Gluck Bros. , tried to fight
against the biggest store in all Now
York. ( Ridley te Sous , who employ ever
4,000 salespeople und uro millionaires. )
Soon they found they could not malio it
win. Then rumors got nllout , quiet but
reliable nnd a certain party ndvisod us
that it would p.iy to visit Now York ,
also quietly.
So first ono of the Boston Store firm
wont , then another and then two of the
department buyers were telegraphed for
and presto ; change ; all suddenly ,
THE WHOLE BUSINESS CHANGED
' OWEUS.
THE BOSTON STORE IN OMAHA
OWNED THE WHOLE THING.
Gluok Bros , were very anxious to turn
their stock into cash before the true
facts cumo to light and were ready to
take almost any sum they could got.
Under those circumstances , with no
ono else even to make an offer ,
WE GOT IT AWFULLY CHEAP.
Mind you , you are not to think for a
minute that this is an old or bankrupt
stock.
It is not.
Every dollar's worth of goods in the
entire stock was bought for the season
of 1892.
Glucic Bros , only started up in busi
ness a few months aero , and
ONLY TO SAVE THEMSELVES
FROM UTTER RUIN did they soil the
stock while they hud the power to
bell it.
The stock comprising everything in
the dry goods store line und a complete

lint Nona of the Family lvor Resigned
Olllco.
The Allin family of Mercer county ,
Kontuclcy , show an olllco holding record
that takes the prize. A correspondent
of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says
for ever ono hundred yours they have
held the office of circuit and county
clerk , u record which is probably with
out u parallel. The first court hold in
the county opened ut Harrodsburgh the
first duy of August 1780 , und on that day
Thomas Allin was appointed circuit and
county clerk. Ho hold the olllco of cir
cuit dork until 1823 , when ho resigned ,
but continued to act us county clerk un
til Fobruury 7 , 1831 , when ho re
signed that olllco also , having
served as circuit clerk thirty-seven
years nnd as county clerk forty-five
years. Upon his resignation as circuit
clerk in 1823 , his son , Phil T. Allin , was
appointed to the position , nna hold It
until his death , J849 , twenty-six years.
Ben C. Allin then received the appoint
ment , und wus circuit clerk until 1802 ,
when , on account of his strong southern
sympathy , a unionist was elected the
olllce having boon previously made an
elective ono. The Ailing were out of
this olllco until I860 , when Bush W.
Allin , u son of Bon C. Allin , wus elected
for a term of six years , ana ho has re
cently received the democratic nomina
tion for another term.
When Thomas Allin resigned the
county clerkship in 1831 his son , Thomas
Allin jr. . received the appointment und
hold it ( by election after 1830) ) until 1802.
In that your , because ho Juvored the
south , hn was denied the right to be
come n candidate , and a union By nin
th i/er wus elected. In 180(1 ( Ron C.
Allin , the former circuit clerk , wus
elected county clerk , and ho still holds
the ofllco : Doing probably the oldest
court clerk , in point of service us well
us in ago , in the United States. Ho was
born In 1808 , and is therefore 81 years
old. IIo has served UH assistant , deputy
or clerk of ono of the courts since child
hood. The following table will muko

A MONSTER TARPON.
Itrcnkliig tna Itacord In ditching a MiiKiilll-
cunt KlfcU In Southern \Viilor .
Tlioro is on exhibition in a store win
dow in St. Louis ono of the finest speci
mens of the tarpon fish over caught in
southern waters. Itis the propoi ty of
the St. Louis university and it was pre
sented to thut institution by Soc New
man , who caught' it with hook and line
in the bay oil' Naples , Flu. , in April last.
Mr. Newman has a winter residence at
Naples , Flu. , and has caught a sufficient
number of the "silver king" to consider
"himself an export. The fish referred to
above , however , was the largest ho over
landed , und , in fact , as largo as any
caught in this country. It lacks but a
couplp of inches of being seven foot long
and tips the scale at nearly 170 pounds.
Mr. Newman gave a St. Louis Repub
lic reporter the following entertaining
account of how ho captured "His Acci-
doncy , " as ho calls the monster tarpon :
It was a lovnly April morning when I
proposed to Mr. Wilkins , a friend from
Rochester , N. Y. , that wo.takoa trip
down the bay for tarpon. Wo had
separate boats and a man to row us. It
was understood that in the event either
of us got a bite the other was to time the
catch , as wo wanted to make a now
record , the best then being about two
hours fr Jin the time of a bite to that of
landing a tarpon. I was fishing with
about eighty foot of No 13 line and one
of tha best rods and reals made in the
countiy. I had my line out but a short
while when suddenly there was
a "click , click at the reel and
almost simultaneously up shot
seven foot of the prettiest silver fish
that over glittered in the sun
light. You Know the tarpon always
jumps clear of the water the moment ho
strikes a baited hook. As soon as ho
struck the water again I grasped my
polo tightly and gave the line a tremendous
deus jerk. There was a report as sharp
as a pistol shot and my polo snapped
right in the center. I was chagrined
and disappointed , for I felt then that my
chances of ever landing that fish were
very rornoto. Nevertheless I grabbed
the polo where it was broken , and with
my right hand on the reel waited for his
majesty to slacken up after his first run.
Ho jumped four times clear of the water
while running away , my man in the
meantime following him up in the boat
as fust as possible. Tlion I began to reel
in the line , und after what seemed to mo
an hour I had him near onougli to the
boat to bo gatTcd.
"But hero was another difficulty to bo
mot. My man was alarmed at the size
and strength of the tarpon and declared
that ho was afraid to gull him with the
huok , us no was contain ho would bo
nulled ovovboird. Afior persuading
him that I could rescue him in case of
such an accident ho was induced to
make the attempt of landing the mons
ter with the giuHioolc. No sooner did
the tarpon foaUtho steel than ho made a
sudden dive , snapping the hook , and
nulling RoboctJulmost into the bay. Off
ho went again ; jumping eight or nlno
times more , until ho carried out nearly
my entire 800 loot of lino. Then I
uogan reeling him in again , my man lit
the same timo.getting another gallhook
and fnstonlngiuiliiio to the handle so as
to avoid another ivccident.
"I know my > only chance of getting
that tarpon wus In galling him OB soon
as possible , fop with my broken polo the
strain on mo was terrible , and I felt I
could not play him much longer. When
I had reeled him to the side of the boat
the socoud tlmo Robert took good aim
and , with a powerful lunge , drove the
hook right into his gill just as ho was
about to make another jump. Ho then
lifted him bodily from the .water into
the boat and in a twinkling had thrown
hlmsolf on him and nailed the struggling
gling- - giant on the bottom in gonulno
Grieeo-Romnn stylo.
"I sunk to the goat oxlmuated , think
ing I muni have boon several hours at
work , when I hoard Mr. Wllldns exclaiming -

The following bulletin has boon issued
by the United States department ot agri
culture :
The interest which has boon shown by
the stockmen of the United States in re
gard to the disease known as "lumpy
jaw , " or that form of acllnotnycosis
which appears as external swellings on
the head , renders it desirable thut a
preliminary statement should bo made
concerning the treatment of this disease.
Until recently it has been the opinion of
the veterinary profession that u euro
could only bo obtained by a surgical
operation , and that this should bo per
formed in the early stages of the disease
in order to insure success.
_ In March lust an important contribu
tion to our knowledge of this subject ,
was made by M. Nocaid , of the AUort
veterinary school , in a communication
to the French Central Society of Veter
inary Medicine. He showed cfearly that
the actinomycocis of the tongue , a disease -
ease which appears to bo quite common
in Germany and is there known as
"woodon tongue , " could bo quickly and
permanently cured by the administra
tion of iodide of potassium. M. Nocard
calls attention to the success of M.
Thomnsson of Utrecht , who recom
mended this treatment as long ago us
1885 , and who has since treated more
than eighty cases , all of which have boon
curod. A French veterinarian , M.
Gpdbillo , bus treated a number of cases
with the same remedy , all of which
have been cured. M. Nocnrd also gives
details of u case which was cured by him
self.
self.All
All of the cases _ referred to were of
actinoraycosio of the tongue , and no ono
apjoard tu huvo attempted the euro of
uetinomycosis of the j.iw until this was
undertaken by Dr. Norgaard , veterinary
inspector of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry. Hp'solccted a young steer in
April last , in fair condition , which hud a
tumor on the jaw measuring 15 } inches
in circumference , and from which a dis
charge had already boon established.
The animal was treated with iodide of
potassium , and the result was a com
plete euro , as stated in the reports which
wore recently given to ttio press at the
time the animal was slaughtered in Chi
cago. If lumpy jaw can bo cured so
easily and cheaply , as this experiment
would lead ono to supposetho treatment
will prove of great value to the cuttle-
ralsors of the country. As is well known ,
there is a considerable number of steers
weoklv coming to our markets which
are condemned because they are dis
eased to such an extent that the general
condition of the animal is allected. If
thobo could bo cheaply and readily cured
bv the owners , it would prevent the loss
of the carcass , and solve all the troublesome -
some questions which have boon raised
in regard to the condemnation of such
animals.
The curability of the disease docs not
affect the principles which li'ivo ' boon
adopted in inspecting and condemning
animals ulTcctod with it. This depart
ment bus never considered it necessary
to condemn animals ulTocled with uctin-
omycosis on account of the contagious
ness or the incurability of the disease.
Such condemnations have been made
when the disease wus so far advanced as
to affect the general condition of the
animal , and all such carcasses would bo
condemned whether the disease from
which the animal suffered was contngi.
ous or not , or whether it was curable or
incurable.
The treatment with iodide of potas
sium consists in giving full doses of this
medicine once or twice a day until im
provement is noticed , when the dose
may bo reduced or given loss frequently.
The sl/.o of the dose should depend some
what upon the weight of the animal.
M. Tl.omnsson gives ono and ono-half
drums of iodide of potassium daily in
ono dose dissolved in a pint of water
until improvement is noticed , which ho
states is always within oightdays. Tlion
ho decreases the dose to ono dram. The
animals do well under this treatment ,
showing only the ordinary symptoms
which follow the use of iodine , the prin
cipal ones being discharge from the
nose , wcoplng of the oycs , und pooling
oil of the outer layer of the skin. These
symptoms need causa no uneasiness , UH
they never result in any serious disturb-
unco of the health.
M. Godblllo has given as much as four
drums ( half an ounce ) in ono day to a
Btcor , decreasing the dose half a dram
each day until the dose was ono nnd one-
fourth drams , which wus maintained
until the twelfth day of treatment ,
when thi ) steer appeared entirely curod.
M , Nocard gave the first day ono and
ono-half drama in ono dose to a cow ; the
second and succeeding clays a dose of
ono drum in the morning und evening ,
in each case before feeding. This treatment -
mont was continued for ton days when
the animal wus cured.
Dr. Norguard gave two and ono-half
drains dissolved in water once a day for
three days. Ho then omitted the medi
cine for u day or two and then continued
it according to symptoms. These ox-
iimplos of the treatment us it has boon
puccossfully administered by others will
servo us u BUtllclont indication for thobo
who wish to toct.it.
Experiments are being conducted on
n largo eculo by the Bureau of Animal
Industry in the treatment of lumpy jaw
with this remedy , and the results will
bo published as boon us possible. In the
meantime , it would bo well for nil who
huvo animals ulToctod with this disease
to treat them according to this method ,
and report results to the Department of
Agriculture , Washington , D. C.

A FAMOUS MURDKH MYSTERY.
The Mnrilcr of llonjiiniln .Viitlmn KeciilleU
by the Death ot Ills Son.
The death of Washington Nathan at
Boulogne , Franco , on the 20th ulU , re
calls one of the most noted and mysteri
ous tragedies in the history of Now
York city. Washington Nathan was u
central figure in the crime , and for
twenty-two years lived under the black
shadow of suspicion of bolng the mm-
doror of his father. Even in his dying
moments the murder preyed upon his
mind. During the lust week of his Hfo
ho told ever und ever the story of the
death of his father and kept continually
repeating , "My poor fathorl My poor
father ! "
According to the dispatches the dying
man mudo the following statement :
"Tho house hud boon undergoing re
pairs. It is my theory the murderer en
tered the house during the day while
the workmen were there. It was 0
o'clock when I entered father's room. I
found him on the iloor murdered , and it
was I who gave the alarm by going to
the window and calling. I afterwards
summoned my brother , who lifted the
body and placed it on the bed , thereby
covering himself with blood. No blood
could ever bo found on any of my
clothes , " said the dying man , "yot people -
plo say I killed him. My poor fathorl
My poor father ! "
History of the Crime.
The most complete and authentic ac
count of the Nathan murder ever printed
was written by old Superintendent Wall
ing in his "Recollections of a Now York
Chief of Pollco. " Jourdun was chief at
the time of the murder , but Walling
was his assistant and know all the facts
of the case that anybody was familiar
with , save the chief himself. The main
facts of the story are those :
Benjamin Nathan was a Wall street
broker and private banker of largo for
tune. In July , 1870 , ho was living at
his country homo in Morristown , N. J. ,
but he came up to Now York once or
twice a woek. His city homo at 12
West Twonty-third street was closed ,
but on July 29 ho decided to spend
the night at his town residence us ho
proposed Keeping the following day us a
fust da.j , us it was the anniversary of
his mother's death. Nntlmn had
two sons , Frederick , who was a
broker of good standing and his fuvorito
and Washington , who lived the lifo of u
man about town and hud given his father
much annoyance. The old gentleman
told several friends that ho intended to
give Washington warning on that night
thut ho must mend his ways and live a
bettor life- The two boys kept their
rooms in the town house , but the remainder -
maindor of the house was in confusion.
Old Mr , Nathan , however , decided to re
main that night , although no room had
boon prepared for him.
The NlKht ol the Trnscily ,
The night was memorable for a great
thunder btorm. The lightning Hashed
incessantly. Patrolman Mungum saw u
vivid Hash in the windows of the Nathan
mansion for a moment , but ho thought
nothing of it. Just before ( i o'clock in
the morning Mangam was startled by a
cry : "Officer , for God's sake , hurry ! "
lie saw the two Nathua sons on the
stoop of the family residence. Freder
ick iMuthtin wus intensely excited ;
Washington eeomqd palo , but calm.
They told lilui their father wus mur
dered.
Ho rupped for uid and then wont up
stairs to the reception room. There ,
.ying on the threshold of the little hall
jedroom , was the dead body of old
Benjamin Nathan , covered with blood.
The officer felt at once of the heart und
; old Frederick there was still lifo in his
'uthor , nnd urged him to summon a doc
tor. A further examination , however ,
ihowod the victim had been dead at
cast three hours.
Mangam refused to permit any ono to
eave the house till Cuptuin Burden of
ils proolnct urrivod. Captain Burden
guvc Mungum churgo of the house for the
lay and notified Suporlntondont Jourdun.
[ n a few minutes Jourdan and the boat
detectives on the force were on the spot.
1'hoy all agreed thut they had never
seen more evidences of a desperate
struggle for life. Mr. Nuthan's body
ioro murks of u do/on wounds inflicted
jy a blunt instrument , a shlpcarpontor's
"dog , " which was found near by. The
only olow to the murderer wus the murk
of his bloody hand on the wall , lie had
robbed the body of coin and diamond
hhlrt studs , but \vhat seemed peculiar
was that ho hud taken keys from the
dead man's pocket nnd opened a tsufo in
Nathan's prlvuto olllco , which was so
situated that a stranger to the house
would not huvo found it.
Vuliuililo KviilHiico Destroyed.
The detectives in their search for
clews mot obstacles ut the outset , A
bundle of bloody clothing was smuggled
out of the Nathan house on the day of
the murder , and though a big reward
was ofi'orod to the wushorwotmn who
received it to produce the clothing she
refused. Although Ollicor Mungum hud
been warned not to let anything bo dis
turbed , ho permitted the walls of the
room to bo wushod und the bloody carpet -
pot to bo ripped up und sent to a cleaner
The marks of the bloody hand upon thoc
wall , the moat valuable evidence. were % '
thus lost to the polico.
Coroner Rollins released Washington
Nathan , against whom there were the
gravest suspicions , but this net did not
remove public prejudice uguinst him. jf
Tills prejudice was increased when on W
ronning Mr. Nathan's will it wus found /
ho had pruottcully disinherited his/
scnpogrnco son.
The most plauslblo theory of the mur
der , outside of that which pointed to
Nuthan's dissipated son , wus tlmt the
crime was committed by William Kelly ,
a son of the housekeeper. Some dotoc-
tlvos argued that Kelly admitted con
federates to the house to rob It , and tlmt
they were surprised by old Nathan. To
avoid tip penalty of recognition they
killed him. Young Kelley could not
satisfactorily account for himself on that
night , nnd since then ho has consorted
with thhnos , but no evidence was pro
duced sulllciont to hold him. A number
of desperate burglars were arrested on
suspicion. Ono named John 'JL\ Irving
confessed to the crime in this city ln < {
order to secure passage across the con-v"
tlnont , but nothing material was gained L _
from any of the suspects.
. Curious features.
Ono of the most curlouo features of the
cube was the olloct on Suporlntondont
Jourdan. IIo was an apparently strong ,
halo man when the Nathan murder oc
curred. After It ho appeared to bo con
stantly brooding ever something ; his
uppolilo failed , and in u few months ho
died , Wullliif suggests that ho learned
the real seci-ot of the crime , but could
not disclose It , and the burden proved
too heavy to bear.
Superintendent Walling in his book
declares tlmt ho believes young Kelly " " * *
was responsible for the murder by ml-
milling confederates into the h'ouso.
But soon after ho retired from the head
of the New York police department ho
intimated that his suspicions against
"Wash" Nathan hud boon increased.
Ono reason assigned by Walling for
his suspicion thut "Wash1' Nathan
suffered from a guilty conseiqnco wng
the recklessness witli which the young
man rushed into riotous living im
mediately after the murder. Ho had/
never boon a man of exemplary hubitgf
but ho became one of the most dopruvea\
mon in Now York us soon us his father's
funorul wus ovor. Ho wus for a long
time under the constant survoillunco of
the police , nnd a careful record was
made of his doings. Ho did not stop at
going upon an occuslonnl spree , but his
debauchery was continuous for many
wpoka Ho shared his substance first
with ono womun of the town and then
with another. ' Ills female companions
were the lowest of the low , and ho
is baid to have indulged in the vilest
practices known to metropolitan im
morality. Occasionally ho would seem
to pull hlmsolf together a bit , the po
lice would lose track of him for two or
three months , and then ho would sud
denly emerge rehabilitated and half
way respectable once nioro. But it was
only a temporary reformation , for in a
few days ho wus to bo found in his old
haunts , drinking to desperation and
groveling in vice. On moio than one
occasion the police tried to got informa
tion from bomo of his companions us to
tlio nature of his ravings when in do- , *
lirum from drink , but they were unumV * "
to pet anything beyond u casual con
firmation of their auspicious.
Dltslpation und Deal It.
The Nathan family gave up the Twon-
ty-third street house after the crime ami" " "
moved _ into Fifth avenue , wliero they
maintained tin expensive ostub ishnion
for some yours. Washington Nuthun's
hubits and associations continued to got
worse. In 188i ) ho figured in a newspa
per sensation when Funny Bartlett , a
well known woman , shot him in the par
lor of the Calomun house , where hovaa
calling upon Alice Harribon , the actrobs.
The bullet entered his nock , lodged in
the muscles of his jaw , and wis never
removed. Nathan's mother died in 1879 ,
leaving $1,000,000. Hero will provided
a trust fund of $100,000 for Washington ,
of which ho wus to have the income ,
amounting to $ > ,200 yearly. Shot-ill
Flack , in behalf of creditors , brought
suit in 18)0 ! ) for $1,590 und tried to
levy upon this income but Judge Bur-
rot decided that it must not bo touched ,
as it was no more than sulllciont for the
needs of a man of Nathan's training und -
education Besides this income lie re
ceived in specific boquoats $75,000 from
his father's estate , 823,000 from hia
grandmother und $10,000 from his aunt.
IIo saved nothing nnd in his later years ,
with only his trust revenue for an income -
come ho considered himself in hard
straits.
Nathan wont abroad in 18S1 , having
married Mrs. Arnott , u daughter o (
Colonel Mnploson. Ho lived in u suburb
of London uud in Paris. In the lutlor
city ho wus a frequenter of the Chatham
hotel , a resort for Americans , lie never
scorned to find company there , being
