variety of articles particularly suited
for this occasion.

glass ever brought to our city.
Our silverware is of many designs

Former Resident Dies.
Charles A. Ho we, for several years
a resident of N ornh Platte, and senior
membor of the firm Howe & Moloney,
tho furniture dealers, died at York,
Neb., Saturday. Death was due to a
tumorous growth, with which he had
been troubled for a number of months.
This growth was of such a nature that
he could not survive un operation, md
was so informed by a specialist Inst
spring. He was therefore compelled to
calmly await approaching death.
For four five years past ho had spent
tho greater part of his timo on a home
stead near Oshkosh, upon which he
made final proof a month or two ao.
He spent part of tho past threo win
tors jn Florida, whore ho owned a tract
of land.
He loaves a wife, to whom ho was
married several years ago, and a couplo
of brothers.
Interment was made at York.
Prisoners Saw
Through Bars.
m.. ' n ii
Frank Holtstnnder, awaiting trial on
the charge of forgery, and Jack Dunn,
charged with burglary, made their es
capo from the county jail about half
past Beven o'clock Friday evening. Es
capo was through a window on tho
north sido of the building, tho bars
having been sawed through by n saw
furnished by some outsido friendly
"Indian". Tho work of cutting out the
bars was evidently Bpoedily performed,
for examinations of the windows are
regularly made by Sheriff Salisbury and
Deputy Watts.
Both men had been in jail for several
months, and on account of the length
ened period of their incarceration, wero
not always confined in the steol cage
but given tho privilege of exercising
in the big jail room where they operated
the iaw and securee their liberty. '
Holtstnndor is charged with forgery.
Whilo at Fremont Bevsral months ago
he stple a grip, and among tho contents
was a draft for $100. This draft ho en
dorsed and had it cashed at tho Platte
Valldy Bank of this city, and im
mediately loft for Canada. Later he
returned to town and accepted work nt
tho Cody ranch, where he was arrested
the day ho arrived.
Duffy was in on the charge of burg
lary, having entered the home of Mrs.
Lottie Croncn last summer nno stolo a
purse containing thirty or forty dollars.
Ho was subsequently arrested and the
money recovered.
Upon discovering tho flight of his
prisoners, SheYiff Salisbury, with the
aid of his deputy, the city police and
two Union Pacific detectives, began a
search for tho two men, but no trace
of them could be found. The only ink
ling was Saturday morning when a boy
presented u letter nt one of tho drug
stores which requested that ten cents
worth of morphino bo given tho boy.
Holtstander is a dopo fiend, and tho
hnndwriting of the letter was recog
nized as his, but unfortunately tho
identity of the boy was not known to
the drug clerk, and tho latter of course
had no thought of detaining him. Had
the boy been detained, tho whereabouts
of Holslnnder might have, been de
tained. The search is being continued
day and night.
Holtslandor formerly lived with his
father in McPherson county, whilo
Duffy at tho timo of his arrest was
tramping through tho country.

Lit-
I stood under a lamppost oa Hester
itreet, watching the overtired children
as they fell asleep, while sitting on tho
Heps, tho moil as they stnokid nnd
rested, tho women as they dragged
themselves wearily along and pur
chased a bit here
nrlorlmula'on
tho family cupbou
Canal, on Grand, along tho Bowery,
In Chatham square, men and women,
aro laughing In good nnturo as they
elbow each other and throng tho store
to purchase ornaments nml luxuries.
Hero uion and women aro sullen and
illent, many of them wondering whnru
Iho barest necessaries aro to comu
from.
"If you won't help mo wo shnll havo
to go hungry tomorrow."
It wns n llttlo old woman who had
approached so softly that I did not
hear her.
"Whcro do you llvo?" I asked.
Sho pointed to a four Btory tenement
almost opposite.
"Any family?"
"A sick husband and four children,
sir."
"Very well; "lead on, and I will fol
low." Sho kept looking back, nnd there was
a puzzled expression on her face.
"This way that's a child keep to
tho rail don't fear tho dog wo'ro al
most up."
"And as wo reached tho upper hall
wo turned to tho right, passed down a
blind hall running tho other way, nnd
presently sho pushed open a door, and
wo entered a room lighted by a smok
ing lamp.
"John, children, It's a stranger como
to seo us," said tho woman as I stood
and looked about
Hero wero two small rooms, threo
chairs, a cupboard, an old table, a
wretched bedstead and moro wretched
bedding, on which lny n mnn. Across
the room was a mattress, on which tho
children wero lying as I entered. In
tho other room I saw a stove, a wash
tub and a bucket of coal.
"Sit down, sir," said tho woman as
sho placed a clmlr.
Tho husband looked to bo fifty years
old. Ho hud, tho bright eyes and tho
hollow checks of n consumptive.
"Aro you a doctor?" ho asked as I sat
down.
"No." '
"Tho rent Is overdue, but wo haven't
oven bread to oat," ho said.
"I am not your landlord nor his
agent. I simply camo up to seo' you
to seo If you wore sick, to seo what
you needed."
"John, you know how It Is with us.
I asked him on the street for money,
and he's come up to to"
"To seo If you were really In need
of help," I said as sho paused. "Ilnvo
you had any supper?"
"Just a crust for him, sir, but noth
ing for tho rest, nnd but for you tho
children would bo crying wltli hun
ger." .
"Very well. I'll mind tho liouso
whilo you go out Get bread, butter,
tea, milk, sugar, potatoes and meat"
"You you don't mean it?" sho
gasped.
Tho mnn roso up on his elbow to get
a better look at me, and 1 saw some
thing like alarm In Ills face. To qulot
him I said:
"Tho caso Is clear enough. You used
to get along all right, but sickness
camo; you could no longer work; you
havo reached your last penny. Why
shouldn't I help you n bit?"
"It's sadly enough wo need It, God
knows, but but"
"Hut you can't mnko out why 1
enmo up hero?"
"No, sir."
"Well, don't worry nbout it Queer
things nro always happening to all of
us. How long havo you been 111?"
"Over a yenr, sir."
"And how havo you lived?"
"By using tho fow dollars I had put
by nnd by selling whatever wo could
spare until wo aro as you seo us. I
onco enrned my S3 a day, sir, and no
poor man's family was better cared
for.'f
"And todny you aro penniless and
hungry?"
"Aye, sir, and as I laid hero I'd havo
cut my throat If I hod a knlfo."
By and by, as wo talked, tho mother
and children rotumed. I heard tho
latter shouting, oven on tho lower
stairs. Ench had a load, and tho wlfo
returned nftcr a lamp, a bottle of wlno
ind somo other things. Poor soul!
Sho was laughing nnd crying by turns,
and to havo scon thoso forlorn chil
dren sit down on tho floor nnd cat tho
dry bread as famishing wolves devour
their prey was something to pain your
heart.
"It's 'real meat, John," said tho wo
man as sho camo to his bedside
"real meat, and real potntoes, and ronl
Biignr and tea, and thero Is a Cod
nfter alll"
"Yes, thero Is a God, Mary!" ho
whispered ns ho" wept.
And whilo I sat thero tho wlfo cook
ed supper, and tho hunger of nil was
satisfied, and tho two smaller children
afterward knelt nt tho bedsldo and
repeated tho Lord's Prayer and wero
asleep threo minutes later.
It wns only n drop, only n llttlo ray
of hopo shining through tho darkness
and gloom of their poverty and de
spair, but to havo caught that ona
ray filled them with now strength to
bnttlo In tho future, and I had touched
elbows with still another phaso of humanity.
