Tom O'NollI, a laborer, was the victim
of a vicious assault at the hands of an un
known hobo yesterday afternoon. His
light nrm was broken, one eye was closed
and his fjtco was bruised, nil on account
of the prfco-nf a can of boeor. O'Neill had
put up the nrlce of a can for one gang of
thirsty hoboes In Odin's hull on lower
Farnam streot when three others came up
and demanded tho same accommodation,

Consult your doctor. If

O'Neill refused to comply and they abused
him moro than ho cared to stand for. He
followed the ringleader of the gang lo
Twelfth street, near Dodge, Intending to
havo him arrested, but there the hobo As
saulted him after trying to go through
his pockets. Bcvcral suspects have been
arrested, O'Neill's injuries were dressed
by I'ollco Surgeon Dorglum.
INJUNCTION IS SUGGESTED NOW
TnmyiT Are IiiiIIkmiiii t Over Pro

.Sixteenth Street.
Humors of an Injunction restraining tho
council from having Sixteenth street re
paired at public expense are current In tho
city hall. Indignant taxpayers havo been
filing complaints with various city officials
and the sentiment prevails that an attempt
will be mado to prevent the council from
spending any money for the Improvement
of Sixteenth street.
"Tho councllracn havo gone on record
on tho asphalt repair contract. I did all
In my power to defeat It and It Is out of
my hands. I shall not attempt to enjoin
tho repair of Sixteenth street," .said Mayor
Moorcs. "If tho street Is not put In a
safe condition very soon, however, 1 will
order it closed to traffic. People will bo
warned that It Is dangerous. If they
venture on the street It -Mill bo at their
own risk.
i "The council la preparing to havo nn
overlap cared for In next year's levy. This
repair contract will bo a bad drain on the
general fund. It seems, that the councllmen
aro determined to repeat last year's ex
perience and exhaust tho general fund,
Thoro Is only about $26,000 In thai fund
and this will not last long. .A thousand
things will turn up before the end of tho
year which must be paid from this fund."
In accordance with tho action of the
council tho city engineer has set a ,forco
of Inspectors at work examining asphalt
paving and making a roport concerning
tho condition of streets. A 'tabic will be
prepared which will show the paving which
Is In such bad condition that It must be
repaired at onco. Another tablo will show
tho paving which should bo repaired. The
(Irant I'avlng company will be Instructed
to repair nit the paving Included in the
first tnble at once. In case the funds hold
out tho company will then go to work
on tho streets whero the need of repairs
Is not so great.
"Work will probably begin on Sixteenth
street In a few dayB," City Engineer Roso
water remarked whon asked where the
engineering department would order the
first ' repairs. "Ccrtnln sections of Six
teenth street nro In such bad condition
that wo will try to put them in -n safe
condition before devoting attention to
other streets."
YIELD TO THE INEVITABLE
lllsli School Committee Ilellevea that
Dlnchnriced Tenehern Will
Mnke No Contest.
The high Bcnooi commttteo of tho school
board has formulated a report which It has
not presented to tho board and which' will
never be presented unless tho hands of tho
committee aro forced. Such pressure' may
be brought by tho friends of certain teach
ers who aro attempting to havo them rein
stated in tho high school corps aftor being
dropped as a result of the cxtenston of the
working tlmo of the teachers In tho High
school.
Of tho six teachers dropped tho majority
havo found places In other cities. Some of
them go to Colorado, sotno to Iowa and
some to Illinois, but one or more of them
does not desire to leavo the city and Is
malting Btrong effort to regain her placo.
The members of the high school committee
In tho burled report say that there (i; no
question of the ability nt tho teachers
dropped, but that some persons must be let
out, as there Is not work for all whon tho
Instructors aro to work six periods In
stead of five. It therefore recommends
that tho. motion to relnstato tho teachers
bo defeated. u
As soon as the report was formulated a
copy was sent to the teacher who Is be
lieved to be tho most actlvo in attempting
t6 secure reinstatement with tho remark
that it It were desired tho .report would bo
submitted to the board at Its next meeting,
but that, In tho opinion of the committee
it would bo to the best interests of all con
cerned to let the matter die In tho hands
of r tho committee. This action was taken
Monday, and at this time nothtng has been
heard from the teacher or her friends, ao it
1b believed by the members of the commlt
teo that tho matter has been finally dis
posed of.

HIS CONNECTION WITH THE CIVIL WAR
Life Story of Thin Vlrnlnlnii llends

.Senator Millard fenyn.
Tho assignment of Colonel John S.
Mosby as special land agent of the United
States to Nebraska will bring to the state
tho socond distinguished Virginian to visit
it In an offtclnl capacity within a year.
Forty years ago the name of Mosby was
on the tonguo of every man and woman
In the United States, In the south hu was
looked upon us u rather capablo but un
ruly man, with whom the officers of the
confederate army would rather treat as
an Independent partisan than as a subordi
nate. A man of infinite daring, ot personal
bravery, who could not be held down to
tho strict rules of camps, but who could
get mora light out ot a small personally
conducted party of men than any other
man In tho confederate service, regular or
Irregular.
In tho north Mosby was considered a
little worso If anything than Henry Mor
gan, tliu buccaneer, or Captain Kldd. He
was looked upon us a red-U.inded murderer,
a spy and guerrilla In whose favor tho
rules of war did not apply, but who was
to bo shot upon sight.
This opinion of Mosby was not always
held In the north, for In the early days
of the war he was a prisoner nt Wash
ington and was exchanged.
John Singleton Mosby was born on tho
Ldgcmont, plantation owned by his grand
father, James McLaurlne, In Pohawtan
county. Virginia, December B, 1833. At the
opening of hostilities between tho states
ho was married and' had settled down to
tho practice' of law in Albermarlo county.
Ho enlUted early and became a private
In tho Flm Virginia cavalry. In this ca
pacity hlo boldness and ability became
apparent to his superior ofllcers. Ono of
tho great cumpaigns ot General J. R. 13.
Stuart and the .one which first attracted
the attention of tho contending armies
to his marked ability as a leader of cav
alry was his raid around the. army of Mc
Clcllund. The biographer of Mosby says,
and he Is not contradicted, that this raid
originated In tho bruin of -Prlvato Mosby.
It Is said that the plan suggested by
Mosby, who, at that time was ncting as
scout for Gonernl Stuart, was presented
to the general and by hlra referred to
General Leo. The latter approved the plan
with much misgiving, but It was cnrrled
out successfully, only a few confederates
being captured, but of tho few one was
Mosby. Ho was sent to Washington with
other prisoners nnd remained until an
arrangement for the exchango of prison
ers was perfected,' when ho was ono of
the first exchanged.
They Ksenpe Injury.
With his return to Virginia In 1562 his
oxperlenco as tho leader of, an independent
command began. For his conduct In tho
raid of Stuart ho was given a conimlssloa
as captain and permitted to Bulect sixty
men from Stuart's command as tho
nucleus of his company. Tho com
pany onco formed It was given
a roving commission to harrass tho
enemy upon all possible occasions and to
'furnish tho commanding general of tbo
army with Information of tho movement
of tho union forces. These Instructions
'placed 'Captain, Mosby o'n an eq'uallty with
all otheV'comraandcrB at least that was
tho way many of the soldiers understood It,
although tho Captain recognized tho au
thority of army and corps commanders
whoro ho operated that la, he recognized
tbo authority when It suited his purposo at
least and at other times. Well, It Is Bald
by old campaigners la thnt war that there
wero some stormy scenes between the parti
san leader and tho generals who had some
doubt as to the regularity of their nominal
subordinate's actions.
With all of this It was tho boast of
Mosby and his mem that practically all of
tho Information ot a valuable- kind supplied
the commanding general was brought
through Mosby.
Ono of the most famous Incidents In tho
llfo of Colonel Mosby was the capturo of
General Stoughton with about thirty of his
command at Fulrfax Courthouse, Va. As
was most of Mosby's early exploits, tho ex
pedition against Stoughton was conducted
at night, nidlng through the union lines
he, with a small party, visited tho general's
tent and awakened him. Arising dazed, tho
general inquired tho meaning of the dis
turbance. Mosby Informed him. that Stuart
had captured the camp and he was a
prisoner.
.Moliy la ItecoKnlxeil,
The confederate partisan and his party
escaped without injury, taking tholr pris
oners to Illchmond. For this net of daring
Captain Mosby received his majority and
his Independent company was henceforth
known as tho Forty-third battalion of
cavalry. It was divided Into two compa
nies, one of Mosby's trusted llcutenantt,
being placed In command of tho second
company. ThlB man was William Smith,
a lineal descendant of John Smith of
Jamestown fame.
Another ot Mcsby's lieutenants and ono
ot his most trusted confidantes was ono
Ames, a Yankee from Maine, who enlisted
In the union army and deserted when
Proaldcnt Lincoln Issued his proclamation
abolishing slavery, saying: "I didn't go
Into tho army to light for the nigger."
With the organization of the battalion
Mosby's movements took ou greater Im
portance, but still the organization was
Irregular," meeting at certain points on
call of the commander to flght the enemy
and disbanding when hard pressed and
liable to capturo. It the commander ex
ercised his Judgment to a marked degree
In executing the orders of his superior of
ficers his troopers exercised tho same
freedom. For this reason tho battalion
would vary from fifty to 200 men as tho sol
diers felt like fighting or like staying at
home.
Tha close of the war found Colonel
Mosby active. When Lee surrendered Mosby
bad been exceptod from all proclamations
of amnesty Issued by the oftliers of tho
army and the government. His brother
and the ofllcers of his command opened up
negotiations with Genoral Hancock, who
was In command of the troops In that
vicinity, and tho general agreed to grant
amnesty to the partisan, but Mosby wub
a doubting Thomas and took matters above
Hancock, nctng convinced that he would
not be accorded the same terms as his
brother officers, ho assembled his battalion
and In a last order disbanded It. He then
became an outlaw for awhile, protecting
his friends and was the hero of many u
wild rumor of renewed hostilities In the
south. During tho first term of General
Grant as president Mosby was pardoned
and at that tlmo became a warm personal
admirer of Oram and a strong champion of
tho principles of the republican party. He
took an actlvo part as a republican In the
campaign of 1S72 and since that tlmo has
always belloved that the Interests of the
south would be best subserved by tho peo
pie of that section accepting the result of
the war as a fact and Joining the repub
lican party In Its effort to advance tho In
terests of tho common country.
Colonel Mosby Is an author of no mean
repute, his "llecollectlons of tho War" be
ing considered an interesting and trust
worthy account ot the scenes through
which he passed,
Speaking In regard to the assignment
of Colonel Mosby to Nebraska, Senator
Millard said that ho had known nothing of
It until he saw the n'nuouncemcnt In tho
newspapers, "I havo nothing against
Colonel Mosby," he said. "Ho has proved
his ability as a man and his devotion to the
republican party, but It tho government
wanted an agent to work In Nebraska I do
not see why It did not como to Nebraska
for the man."
NEBRASKA ISAC0RN STATE

l'rolieotn.
Italn and clouds gladden the henrt of the
crop niai and Nebraska corn prospects
grow brighter hour by hour. Showers con
tinue to fall over the state, still scattered,
It Is true, but becoming constantly moro
numerous and heavier, and this, together
with tho fact that moro than hult of the
corn section has been overspread with
clouds, makes the outlook for a great gen
eral rain very soon most promising. The
air Itself smells Ilka rain and grain men
nnd railroaders can be seen olng about
the ttrcet with their noses In the air, knitt
ing the promise of wetness.
Hunching the showers ot Tuesday night
and the previous one, it seems that a con
siderable portion of tho .corn section in Ne
braska which really needed rain badly has
hud It. To the south, in Gage aud Jef
ferson counties, and In parts of Pawneu und
Johnson, there have been showers. Then
nlong tho South Platto district to tho west
water haB been generally distributed,
although In small quantities, usually.
Tuesday night occurred another grist of
downpours, ranging from traces of rain to
heavy showers. Tho only portion of tho
Uulon Pacific line affected was the stretch
between Grand island nnd Wood Illver, In
Ilnll county, whero showers prevailed In
varying quantities.
From Hastings to Harvard, reaching half
way across Adams and Clay counties, was
the. chief rain reported by tho Fremont,
Klkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad. Thirty
minutes was how long It poured there. Then
nt Murtlaml In Thayer there was a quarter
of an Inch, whllo Walters and Davenport of
Thayer and Flllmoro counties wcro both
visited by showers.
On tho southern division of the Iturllngton
system It was clear from Atchison to Tablo
Hock, but from Beatrice over to Bluo Hill
In Webster county there wero many llttlo
rains. At Boatrlco It was only u eprlnklo,
but :t Washington, Concordia, Endlcott nnd
Chester light rains fell. By tho tlmo It
reached Edgar, In Clay county, It had de
veloped into a shower, nnd nt Bluo Hill It
was tho same. From thero on west tho
weather was clotidy yesterday morning.
Tho western division report shows a
heavy shower at Mlndcn, right In tho center
of Kearney county. Thero was another at
Hed Cloud. From thoro on It was clear to
Lyons.
Grand iBlnnd took .35 Inch of a wetting
and from there on out there wcro light ralnB
nt Sutton, Harvard, Hastings and Kearney.
Up northwest Havcnna showed .16 Inch
rainfall.
These details show how the corn counties
havo boon fed, though not enough as yet.
Howover, tho cloudy skies havo mado some
peoplo even perfectly confident of good re
sults. "Can wo stand It threo days moro?" was
asked ono prominent frolght man who has
kept closo tab on the situation.
"Twlco that easily," was the reply. "Why.

a chaos of boxes, crates and barrols was
ono of tho Incidents that broke In upon
tho monontony of life at tho Northwestern
depot Wednesday afternoon. It would be
difficult to coucelvu of a leis favorablo
placo for a fowl of tender years. It was
a wilderness of bales, box can. trucks,
smells and noises; no baby chick could
legitimately bo within half n mile. Still,
thero was the faint "peep, peep, peep," of
a nowly hatchod chicken. Work was t.us
pendod for tho time being, whllo foreman
and gang searched for the "nest." Thu
quest was In vain. As near as tho employes
could toll tho noise camo from a barrel,
full of a commodity warranted to be
"genuine elder vinegar."
Meanwhile Charles CUne, a delivery
clerk, had been handling a truck laden
with cases of eggs. Suddenly ho cried,
"I'vo got ltl"
Evcryono ran to sco what ho had nnd
Cllno began ripping madly at tho boxing of
the top caso. The slats torn awny, ho cnrO'
fully removed layer after layor of the
thirty dozen specimens ot hen fruit within.
As ho pulled awny the pasteboard that
covered tho very bottom stratn In ono com
partment of tho cajn four husky llttlo buff
cochins came to view, Btuudlng each In Its
small cardboard squaro whero tho egg It
had recently discarded had been orlglnnlly
placed. Tho broken shellB wcro crushed
down under tiny feet.
Three of tho birds wero but Just out of
tho shell, while tho other was big In tho
starved pride of n two days' hungry growth.
As soon as tho sunlight struck thorn for
tho first time In their lives the chicks
started up their chirp again with vigor and
began to grow combs nt once.
This curious hatching aroused the
greatest Interest and curiosity about tho
freight house, a similar caso having never
been known. Tlio eggs wcro shipped from
Poncn, In Dixon county, Neb., to
Omaha a few days ago, add wero unloaded
hero yesterday. That tho warm weather
nlono could have caused tho Incubation
seeniH dmprobablc, and tho most likely
theory Is that tho eggs wcro removed from
under a hen when she had been sotting on
them for two weeks or moro and wcro
shipped directly here. The chickens would
then havo already a good start nnd tho 101
degrco wenther, which Is Just tho heat ro
qulred for Incubation, did thu rest.
Ono freight man, however, is firm in a
belief that Old Sol did it all und Buys ho
will shortly start a crate of unset eggs on
n ten days' trip to the flouth and back
to sco what results may be accomplished
along this line.
All four of yesterday's fcathcrlcss won
dcrB found eager owners to claim them,
Mr. Cllno took tho three young ones by
right of dlscovory nnd the other went to
W. W. Scott of the Omahn Transfer und
Express company. Each man says he will
ralso tho chicks to maturity.
"Hot enough to hatch" Is already a
Btock phraso nt the Northwestern freight
houso In discussing tho weather and other
things.

THE GHOST
Of our boyhood resolved itself to an old
tree when we had courage to examine it.
Manhood baa its ghosts, which, to the
man who has courage to confront tlicm,
prove to be as harmless as the ghosts of
ooyuooa. une
of the ghosts
which scare
a great many
people is the
ghost of lung dis
ease. Hut experi
ence shows this
ghost to be very
harmless. Iu
cases almost innu
merable " weak 'i
lungs have been
made strong, ob
stinate coughs
stopped, and
bronchial affec
tions cured by the
use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical
Discovery. And these cures bave been
wrought m many cases after the doctor
had said -' There is no help for you."
Don't give in to the superstition of a
past age. Give the "Golden Medical
Discovery" a fair and faithful trial. It
always helps. It almost always cures.
"When I commenced taking your medicine
eighteen mouths ago, my health wan completely
broken down." writes Mrs. Cora t Humlerlaud,
of Chaneyville, Calvert Co., Md, "At timet I
could not even walk acro the room without
pain In my chest The doctor who attended
me tald I had tun; trouble, aud that I would
never be well again. At lait I concluded to
trv Ir. l'ierce'a medlciiie. 1 bought a bottle
of 'Ooldeu Medical Discovery,' took It, and
noon commenced to feel a little better, then
you directed rae to take both the Tiolden Med
ical Discovery ' and the ' Favorite I'teicrlpliun,'
which I did, Altogether I havetakeu eighteen
bottles of ' Rnldeu Medical Discovery." twelve
of the ' Favorite r-renerlptloa,' und five rlali of
' Pellet.' I am now almost entirely well, aud do
all ray work without any pain whatever, aud can
run with more ease than 1 could forraeily wait
