ANOTHER FRACAS.
A Sorlouo Quarrel in Which a Man
was Stabbed In two Places.
THE WOUND PROBABLY FATAL.
One Man Arrested and Another one
Escapcd-Tho Woundod Man In
a Critical Condition.
l-'roiu Monday' Daily,
.Saturday night between H and 12
o'clock as two shop men were wondinj;
their way home ward whi'e near their home
in Hilling's row they were accosted ly u
couple of fellows who were evidently on
the street looking for some one who would
pass that way.
The two men we speak of were just on
their wuy from work having worked a
f,.,.r l.,..:r.i iivcrtiinc ut tin; shorn. As
.i v neared their homes they wore accost-
cd by two men who came suddenly upon
them. Several areistie remarks were
thrown ut them before they had ever.
V 4J - '
noticed the men an.l nlso that they were
a d d pair of lhhej;ians, and it
eriiic d the fellows had it in for the m for
what reason they had no knowledge of.
Some few minutes were c.prnt in pnrrel-
ing Ik-fore they came to blows. One of
the approaching parly was the first to
t.trike. and it is repented that he knocked
one of the men down with a lii.tf shot.
The other fellow found his opponent to
he more than his eipia!, and while he was
down and being pounded rather
f.verely. the man with the sling shot who
ii.-id stunned his mau by the strong blow
he dealt, when he saw his companion
getting it..: worst of it, pulled his knife
;ind .stabbed the plan in two places, cul
ling an ugly gash in l;js back and also
making a severe wound in ifie ar;n of
nbor.t two juhe.s. Fortunately the knife
f truck his shoulder blade or tho wound
in his Lick would have ki'Jeel him in
stanlly f.r, as it was, his lung wan In
jured so badly Jhii. jt makes breathing
very ditlicult. The wouuek-J :j;an gave
his name as Chris Maiti.
As the two men who were interfered
With in this way are strangers here und
have only been in the city a short time,
the men were not recognized, but they
J'clt confident, if they could see either of
them that they would know them. The
man who had done the stabbing received
in juries about his hands and arms bad
enough to cause blood to run continually
until he reached his home.
We were not informed how the men
managed to reach their homes, but they
arrived there some way and this morning
Dr. Sehihlknechr, their attendant, gave
the information that the wound was a
very serious one and might prove fatal.
The cut had allowed air to escape from
his lung, which, in order to do that,
must be very severe.
Yesterday morning the man who was
slugged and not so badly hurt but what
he was able to walk around, went to the
scene of the trouble and found that con
siderable blood had been spilt. lie
tracked the man who had received the
bruises mul dropped, blood along the
road to his home where lie found a wash
dish containing bloody water.
He tiled information this morning and
the man was arretted. It was soon dis
covered that one of the men had skipped
and it is supposed he is at present in
Omaha. Every effort is being made to
secure the man, and, when caught, lie
will receive his reward to the full extent
of the law.
The man who did the kuife act and
was arrested this morning ia a mechanic
in the shop by the name of Jas. Agan,
and thii fellow who did the slugging and
skipped, is a striker named John Ilogan.
Agan was brought up before Judge
Russell this morning, but until llogan is
secured, nothing dellnite will be given
concerning the trial.
The authorities are bound to put a stop
to this work and will arrest the next per
son, no matter who it is, that elisturbs
the peace. When such people are made
to understand this they will probably rest
for awhile and give peaceable citizens a
chance to conje on the streets without
Leiog insulted..

KniTon Daily Hekai.d: Never having
seen any items in your paper, I thought
that I would try and let the people know
that there was a small place out along
the 1$. & M. called Cedar Creek.
We have two general merchandise
stores, a bank, blacksmith shop, butcher
shop, dmg store, two grain elealers, and
hl.-u) one of the best hotels iu the county.
AVe also have a Harrison and, Morton
club of over forty members, which was
organized last Saturday night (thanks to
the speakers from Plattsmouth who were
to come out and talk to ns) with J. B.
Thompson as our president, John Mount
ford treasurer and F. A. Murphy secre
tary. This is the stronghold of elemocracy,
but we will roll up a majority for
Harrison and Morton on Nov. 6th, even
if Draper has a keg of Leer on tap wheo
tlje Republican clubs meet.
I forirot to mention our lumber yard ag
one of our industries; it is a branch of

No magazine is taking greater
strieles in popular raveir than Outino. A
glance at the July number, which by the
way is a midsummer gala number, fully
accounts for the success of Oi'tino. The
American people loye sports, ami Outing
has become the ablest representative of
out-door recreation iu ajl its branches.
At this season of the year when everyone
is longing for the country, the atmos
phere and the title of the magazine are
in themselves irresiutably attractive, even
without such ably executed articles and
beautiful illustrations as enrich this is
sue. OrTiNft for July opens with a most
interesting article entitled, "An Irish
Outing, Awheel," from the pen of the
famous English cyclist, "Facd" Wilson.
The illustrations of Irish scenery by liar
ry Feun are the work of a master, anel
handsomely reproeluced. Samuel M.
IJaylis is the author of a very pleasing
fishing article, "After Trout in Canailian
Waters," whu:h is finely illustrated by
E. W. Demiug. An illustrated article on
one of our leading summer resorts, Iiich
tield Springs, by Mrs. M. B. Hedges, has
a pleasant summer atinosphere about it.
The timely works about '"The Angling
Tournament," by Francis Eudicott, will
prove interesting to th followers of Izaak
Walton. Captain J. (. Leefe contributes
a humorous hunting story entitleel "Mug
gins' Bear," which is followed by an
idyllic tale. "The Happiest Day of My
Life," a canoeist's story that cannot fail
to captivate both olel anel young. "The
Captain's Ghost," by Patience Slapleton,
is ri Dramatic and effective piece of fic
tion. An article on "Lawn Tennis" giyes
the latest points in regard to that popular
game. The illustrations to this article
aro so unusually handsome (the frontis
piece i one of them) emu we a.e irresis
tibly drawn to the charms of lawn ten
nis. "In Summer Woods," a bright bit
of poetry by S. G. Tenuey, is followed
by a well written "Kamhle with the Cam
era in the Lower Deleware Valley." Then
fiction is once more introduceel in "The
Doctor's Yam," by Francis Trevelyan.
Ivenneely Chijds contributes an instruct
ive paper, "Training for C-cle Competi
tion, anel then comes the special feature
of Outing for July, "America's National
Game by Harry Palmer, which is an able
exposition of the birth anel growth of
the national base ball league, with many
Valuable and an admirably drawn illus
trations This excellent article is furth
er supplemented by that on ' Scoring
llules for College Clubs," by the father
of American Baseball, Henry Chadwick.
The regular departments, "Open Win
dow," "Outing Club," "Amenities,"
"Scrap Basket,'r"Lctter File," together
with the "Itecords" which give a reliable
resume of the chief sporting events, close
this capital number.
In no issue has there been a more
marked improvement; such a magazine
as the July OuTiNei cannot fail to increase
its subscription list.

Tli Journal has a long editorial em
Ben Harrison's ancestors and seems to
fear the republican party candidate's
friends are set lino- on t oa!'e ts vlespoil
Groycr of his rcconl as a "common hang
man.!' The Join i ml need not worry one bit,
jt js only the common dou.irhface demo
cratic editor who has been harping on
Mr. Harrison's supposed ancestry. The
men who beheaded Charles T a, century
ami a half fgo, were not common hang
men who grossly figured on the gallows
as comm m ex c iti ners. fo;- the moury
J ihat wax in it, like (-rover Cleveland
did; even in those early ei.iys the man
who did that sort of business was a paid
hireling who traveled the king's relm
over with blood on his hav.ds doing tho
executioners work for a paltry piece of
o-old. No! Ben Harrison d:;ea not bank
upon that sort of a record. He is a gen
tleman, a statesman; there is no hangman
record, no saloon iccord, no Hai.I'IN
recoid attaching to General Harrison.
Last Sunelay afternoon Mr. Yanatta
was affordeel a scare which worked up
his nerves and set him to thinkirg as he
never (lid befcjre, hy a nois.: coming from
the well at the west end uf Hie house.
Their apparatus for drawing water is
similar to most of them in Plattsmouth,
a bucket attached to each end of a long
rope, the rope running through a pulley
at the top. He was; sitting on the varan
elah, a short distance away, and his atten
tion was suddenly attracted to the rope
running through the pulley aivl cae of the
buckets dropping as rapidly as though
some person or heavy weight accompani
ed it. It is not necessary to say how
badly the family was scared aiu that the
first thing etoiie was to ook for ajl the
- hildren. They yere pot all jjreseut and
the first thought that came to all was
that one had fallen iu the well. Neigh
bors noticing such excitement and aP
gathering hastily around the well, sup
poseel of course that a terrible accident
had happened, and in lesa time than it
takes to write it, a large crowd had as
sembled anxious to render whatever as
sistance might be ncccsr.rj. As the
bucket elroppeel into the water and dis
turbed it, it gave it every appearance of
being moved by the struggles, of s;puie
one. As every. U'i nappmcd which
would lead anyone to believe that a child
had dropped into the well, a distance of
sixty feet, with no means of reaching it
except by the rope to which the buckets
were attached, t? ;.;ust intense excite
ment prevaileel, and for a long time the
crowd was at a loss to know what to do
in such ft case. The well was cxam.ir.ed,
however, by squ;o means, but no. trace of
any human b.eing coulet bo found. No
one can imagine what causeel the bucket
to elrop and tUe rcpe to run through the
pulley with such great rapidity. It is a
great mystery, as the rope will not run
unless pulled strongly for it had often
been trieel before and WA3 tried shortly
after the scare, but pcjlcu as h irel as ever
b2fore. They were all well satisfied to be
contenteel with such a scare although it
was not by any means one of the pleas
antest. Qqr reporter hearel Mr. Yanatta
relating the torj yesterday afternoon to
several of his frienels with a pleasant
smile, but when he noticed after he had
sjivea the whole thing away I hat it was
on a fair road to a newspaper, hechangeel
his expression, saying that he did not
wish it published. The story is too good
to keep and we trust that gentleman will
smile off whatever anger may arise after
he notices the publicition. If he knew
how hard a news item was to scare up in
this city, he would willingly" allow it
to pass and furnish another item by buy

Clearly becmiso they will not bo girls. The

mot hers. It is wicked to imtnerso children
under 13 years of ago in tho conventionali
ties of artificial lifo; yet very soon afu-r the

to be beautifully dressed is one of the two

Htairtrcrin:-C under the weight of n lingo sash,

hence fur the liny brain to bo addled by the
vanities of society, but to deliberately dwarf
the powers of mind and body by a senseless
stylo of dressing, is a criminal act, that can
he excused only on tho hypothesis that the
mother is ai ivornt r ts c'.ij.l.
The little girls of today imitate not only

I :u ruing Il,.r Own I.UIng.
There is still to bo found with somo
thoughtless peoplo n. weak and childish prej
udice which causes them to consider thut a
woman of any social rank has stepped down
in tho seulo of her living if sho opens or caters
a shop and stands Inland tho counter, meas
uring, cutting, doing up parcels, taking
money and making t-hanga. To tho mind of
these people if they can be said to have a
mind, or at any rate to use cue in this rela
tion tho act is as much beneilh her as if it
were menial, and if sho bo of any onco iiot;i
LIo family it requires all tho resict.-ibi!ity
of tho past to save her from tho loss of pres
tige and to suffer her to recti , o a share ovm
of tho consideration duo a Member of her
family; as if, like tho Eiahmia, sho had lo.-,t
caste and experienced defilement by touching
what was ouUido her station.
Certainly we cun imagine few things more
praiseworthy iu a woman than n determina
tion to earn her own living, to livo her own
life, to meet her own expenses, if she is not a
person of independent mean-, l-v.r bus to be
,:. i" '- t, , .. ., v i li.-J
others work tor thuu- own living well.

.meanwhile, as every ono cunnot go into
trade, for want either of the capital or tho
faculty, there is already indeed from the

occupation, as compared with others, which,

to the feelings of those hurt by what they
have thought its plebeian character. Har

Tho Cure of Tinware.
Many women spend a good deal of time in
trying to keep tinware bright by scouring it
with some kind of powder each week. This
is a poor plan, as the less scouring tinwnro
receives tho better. It removes the outside
coating, und though it be kept looking bright
by hard labor, it will never look ns well us if
it were washo.1 iu clean, hot swR To bo
sure, when the tin is trained tho stain will
have to bo removed by scouring, but only
enough should be done to remove the stain.
Kerosene and powdered lime, the lime very
finely pulverized, is claimed to clei'n Vi'ovai o
nicely, and wood ashes i.s p,!... rofommeuded
for the sair-o p;;rpe..j.
A better powder may bo made of the soft
white cinders that are usually thrown away.
After sifting the ashes from tho fctovo, pick
from tho cinders aU tha soft white ones.
They must bv sort enough to crunh into a
powder between the thumb and lingej-, and
after crushing up line they nro ready to be
used. First wash and wipe tba tin cloan,
then witl( a flannel rub it over with tho pow
der. It is so line that it d'Xjs not scratch or
wear off tho coating, and gives the tin a
beautiful poiiah. Iv'ever use lyo on tinware,
or i$ will rail) It. Keep an old toothbrush,

ing in tho words of an old Irish servant wo
once had (God rest her faithful soul wher
ever it be this windy day!), "First rate, glory
be to God !" It is such a grand thing to lie well
and strong, to feel that your soul is riding on
its way to glory in a chariot and not iu a
broken down old mud cart.
Talk about happine.sl Why, a well beg
gar has a better time of it than a sick king,
any day. If, then, like a bird, your strong
wing uplifts you above tho countless shafts
of pain which that grim old sportsman,
death, is ever aiming at poor humanity,
count 3'ourself an ingrate if tho song of
thanksgiving is not always welling from 3'uur
heart like the constant song of a bobolink
singing for very joy above tho clover.

The Hot Water Kath.
If you want to keep -our skin nice this
summer you will have to persist ia tho hot
water bath. I read a fanny thing tho other
day abov.t Mrs. Langtry using slices of raw
meas on her face to make her skin soft and
white. I should like to call it a campaign
tarradiddle, only Mrs. Langtry ij not run
ning for president. Her skin is kept soft
aud white by the use of the very hottest
water and the giving of a little caro to it
when it is exposed to tho sun; some simple
ointment, perhaps just a little vaseline, is
rubbed over it for a while, and us for all the
wonderful stuffs she is credited with using,
I doubt if they have touched that fair, pure
face.
Plenty of exercise, a great deal of bathing
and even temper are about as good to keep
the skiu in order and to keep cue young look
ing as all tha cosmetics prescribed from tho
time when Cleopatra lived. However, when
you are in the country, don't submit to tho
abomination of hard water I think it would
ruiu the complexion of au elephant. If you
can't get rain water put a little borax or a
few drops oi ammonia in the bowl whenever
you bathe your face. "Bab" in JTew York

Care of tUo Teeth.
The average girl in brushing hc-r teeth puts
the upper and undersets closely together and
brushes only in the center. This is all very
well for a finishing polish, but beforo that
she should take a small brush, give each row
its proper attention and bo certain that every
particlo of powder or paste is rerrioved from,
between the teeth. If ;i i absolutely neces
sary that a piik must be used, let it be a very
small quill one, or it is better still, if tho work
can be accomplished, with a thread of silk.
Wooden toothpicks are net advised, inasmuch
as they are apt ta break between tha teeth
and very often a great deal of difficulty fol
lows in" attempting to remove the bits.
Gritty powder is fcofc good; it breaks the
euaiael and cdii'-- between the teeth in a
very unpleasant way. A powder recom
mended by physicians and very easily made
is composed of one part of precipitated chalk,
one part of powdered castile soap, one part
of powdered orris root. A very good soap,
aud every woman ought to Lave a Rood soui!
