REED AS A ROGUE.
He Puts Another Man's Horso upfor
Security.
About three weeks ago a man named
"'"Frank Reed was in town with a number
of horses and boarded at Orin Kennes
tin s. He left there durin the night,
owing Mr. Keunestin $4 for board. In
the morning Mr. Kennestin found he had
taken his way toward Nebraska City and
followed him, overtaking Reed about
fifteen miles south of town, but he refus
ed to settle aud abused him (Kenestin)
and it is said made threats, and Mr. Ken
nestin returned without his money.
Last Thursday the same man accom
panied by Charley Ott, appeared on our
streets and camped out on Chicago ave
nue, near the oil shed. Mr. Kennestin
got an attachment out for the debt and
Sheriff Eikcnbary took one of the- horses
a chustnut sorrel, on the attachment, but
none of them were much account, the
eorrel being the best in the lot of eight
or nine head. The horse was quartered
at the Bonner stable. Friday evening
Chas. Ott went to Council Bluffs, leaving
things in charge of Frank Reed. In the
night Reed got drunk and went racing
up and down Main street, and about 12
o'clock he was arrested by Officers Fitz
patrick and Jack O'Neil, and lodged in
jail. Iu the morning Reed begged Ma--Bhal
Malick to release him that he might
tend to his and his friend's stock and of
fered the horse he had been riding as
security. After considerable teasing Mr.
Malick allowed the man to go, but kept
the horse, Reed agreeing to appear at
Judge Mathews' court at 10 o'clock Sat
urday. But instead of attending to the
stock, hitched his team to his wagon and
skipped, leaving Mr. Ott's horses tied
near Jlr. Ott's wagon, but without food
or water. As Mr. Ott did not return
Marshal Malick took the four horses left
' and quartered them at the Bonner stable.
Last night Mr. Ott returned from the
Bluffs and was at first going to have
telesrrams sent out for Reed's- arrest,
claiming the horse he put up for his ap
pearance as belonging to himself, but as
Roed had taken none of Ott's property
with him and had given his own horse
oa the attachment it was not worth
while to hunt the man up and arrest him
and this morning Ott obtained his horses
by paying the boarding expenses and
claiming his property.

commission, and you vote for a staunch
republican and a good man.
Vote for Bird Critchfield for county
clerk, a republican to the core and a
thoroughly capable man for the position
to which he lias been nominated. He
deserves the republican vote.
W. II. Pool is growing in the favor
of the people of this county, and his
election to the office of deed recorder
this fall is a sure thing. As a pen
man he is not easily beaten, and as a
gentleman aud scholar he is not ques

record of any sheriff Cass county ever
had. It requires experience to success

much important office, and Mr. Eikcn
bary has had the experience and ils now
thoroughly acquainted with the best
methods by which to act in bringing
criminals to justice. A change in that
office would be a detriment to tho peo
ple of this county.
The B. of L. F. Ball.
The interest in the ball to be given
Thanksgiving eve, Nov. 2:?rd, by the
Stone Ballast Lodge, No. 3'2S, B. of L.
F. is growing every day. The hall is
engaged and preparations are going
quietly on, and five hundred elegant
invitations have been issued to friends
and the members of the neighboring
lodges and an exceptionally large attend
ance is expected.
Wc are informed that the ball given
by this lodge a year ago was as grand an
affair of the kind as ev ;r took place in
Plattsmouth, and the boys are making
every effort to carry out their desire to
make the coming ball greatly surpass
the one given by them one year
ago, and which is remembered by
all. This is their second attempt and
they haye nothing but success to back
them and ambition to lead them. The
way is clear and everything connected
with the entertainment will be first class.
The Bohemian orchestra has been secured.
The tickets will be $1 with supper extra.
South Omaha is to have jrater sup
plied by mains connecting her with
Omaha.
Thos. Kilpatrick, of Omaha, left
there for Southampton, England, the 1st
oil Oct. and returned yesterday, making
the trip in thirty days.
The river is said to be as low now as it
ever gets. In the evenings now, -with
the moon nearly full and the water
smooth, it presents a picturesque appear
ance. One sewer of vitrified 24 inch pipe
in the Union stock yards ar Omaha, about
one and three-fourths miles long, which
is just about completed, cost $21,000,
while another one only 1,700 ft long will
cost $20,c00 as it has to be tunneled
through the hills.
Died. Lizzie S. Peterson lied yester
day at the home of her parents on "Wash
ington avenue, of laryngeal diphteria.
Deceased was born in Madison county,

Atty-Cen. Leese Cains His First
Point Over the Transporta
tion Board-
Fio:n Tuesday' Daily.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 31. The supreme
court was the scene to-day of an exceed
ingly interesting and important event in
the contest of the people of the state
with the railroads which they seek to
regulate, and, to a limited extent, con
trol. It was the day set for tho hearing
of the mandamus case against the Elk
horn railroad.
The case came up on the motion
of the attorney-general to proceed
with the hearing The argument of Gen.
Leese was the same substantially as that
in the opinion which he filed with the
state boar.l of transportation. He held
that the board of transportation was
simply an instrumentality through which
the complainant might seek the enforce
ment of his rights, and although the case
was brought in the name of the state on
the relation of the state board of trans
portation, the original complainant, the
Lincoln board of trade, was a party to
the suit and he was prosecuting for it.
Gen. Ilawley replied to the attorney
general and made a vigorous plea for the
continuance of the case. He staged that
the relators had, by stipulation with the
respegdent, agreed to continue the case,
and that railroad had proceeded in good
faith to act in accordance with the terms
of the stipulation. He made an argu
ment to show that the board of transpor
tation was the real party to the applica
tion for a mandamus, and that it had the
right to continue or dismiss the suit if it
saw fit.
This afternoon the demurrer was argued
to the court by Gen Ilawley and the
Hon. T. M. Marquette on the part of the
railroad, and Atty.-Gen. Leese, Judge
Mason, and the Hon. G. M. Lambertson
for the board of transportation and the
complainant, the Lincoln board of trade.
The impression of those who heard the
argument is that the court will not sus
tain the demurrer, but will decide that
the board has power to declare what is a
just and reasonable rate.

Deafness Can't be Cured
by cocal applications, as they can not
reach the deceases portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucus lining of the Eustachian
Tube. "When this tube gets inflamed,
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, w hich is
nothing but an infiamed condition of the
mucus surfaces.
We wllo give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by Ca
tarrh) that we can not cure by taking
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circular,
free,
