Hi
Thomi D. Reed In Roma.
Behold me a I stand,
Where Kome has Blood
Ior twice a thousand years
And more!
Hehold us both:
Me and Kome!
.And then, clear friends,
I'leane give your eyes a rent.
Kome Iiuh her hiH'iory,
And I have mine;
Ihit Rome, although nhe Bat
Upon her neven hillH
And ruled the world,
Never Hat in the speaker'H chair
Of the J'ifly-lirHt congre.su
And bowsed that
Me-gnt herian nggregation
As I did.
And that i where I've got
The bulge on Rome!
Here in old Camir'H district
I Hit me down, and with iny feet
Upon hin ancient mantelpiece
I feel at home.
Me and Cienai!
Twin HtarH that twinkle through all
time,
Two iron heels that trod as one
Upon the people's necks.
And then we got it in our own!
By gonh! dear friends, I don't like
that A little hit,
And Ca-sar didn't, either,
Although he didn't have a
Word to Hay after it was over,
For obvious reasons!
Hut Hrutus wasn't a patching
To Springer of Illinois,
Or Rogers of Arkansas;
And Ciesar has something
To be thankful for!
I'm with you, Rome,
From the I'assamaquoddy's
Tumbling tide of sawlogs
To where the tawny Tiber flows,
And we should organize
A Reed and Roman trust,
And swipe the universe!
Are there objections?
I hear none.
The ayes seem to have it!
The ayes have it!
Then let her go, Gallagher!
But I shall never think
That in that elder day
To be a Roman
Was greater than a speaker
Of the grand old Fifty-first.
And don't you forget it!
That's what! !

The supreme court has adjourned
to Tune 2.1. It seems the "entente

The following is a fishy flavored
special that appears in to-day's Bee
y'rom Lincoln.
In the middle of a crowd of men
on O street this afternoon Lieuten
ant Governor Majors and. Colonel
J. D. Calhoun met. The ousting of
Boyd immediately became the sub
ject of discussion, and during the
course of it Calhoun suddenly ejac
ulated: "Tom, you needn't plead ignor
ance. I have tumbled to this deep
laid scheme and one of my infor
mants is in Washington. It is
simply this: When Secretary Proc
tor of the president's cabinet re
signs, Manderson is to be selected
for that position, then Thayer will
resign as governor and you will
succeed to that position and then
repay him by appointing him to
the position of senator, made vacant
by Manderson."
For the first time in his life Tom
Majors turned deadly pale, made
one or two ineffectual attempts to
talk and finally rushed away with
out saying anything.

Four days have been occupied
in selecting a jury in the Sheedy
case at Lincoln and still the end is
not yet. Two Hundred and four
teen men have been examined and

modern murder trial places a high
premium on ignorance.

his horse ran over him. Mr. Philpot

The two Sitzman boys, aged about
ten and twelve, were discovered hid
away in Bennett & Tutt's store last
night as Cap Bennett was closing
up. The boys were handed over to
the-police and were lodged in jail.
Their object could have been noth
ing more nor less than robbery.
Owing to their age, and the fact
that nothing was taken, Mr. Bennett
declines to appear against them to
day. Consequently nothing will be
done except to discharge them.
I. Pearlman has purchased the
Weckbach room of J. V. Egenberger
jr, and will remove his furniture
store into the new quarters as soon
as the room can be fitted up for
him. Mr. Pearlman begun in this
town a few years ago with a pile of
scrap iron and a few old stoves, but
by close attention to business he
has built up a large trade in furni
ture and general house fittings, and
has become one of the heaviest
propert- owners to be found among
our business men.

Journal and pretends to do job
work in the hole under Sherwood's

recently issued from The IlERAtD
office. . As we are securing job
work on merit and not through
bulldozing, we have to-day circu
lated among the business houses of
the city a sample of the same kind
of work done by the Journal office
last year, along with a sample of
our own. Pay your money and

The River Improvement,
.The Missouri River commission
is in session right now in Omaha
If the committee appointed by the
mayor would wait on the members
at once with Mr. Berlin, our de
mands would receive prompt atten
tion and a long trip to St. Louis
would be avoided and money would
be saved for the city. If the right
kind of zeal is manifested this mat
ter will be attended to forthwith
and then if the board has any doubt
about the representations made to
it, an adjournment can be made to
this city and the river looked over
by the honorable board. In
this way we might have work
begun at an earlv dav
and have the channel thrown
where it used to run. savinn-
the city from the danger of an epi-
uemic as a resuu ot tne sewerage
and villainous smells that hover
about the old channel durinir the
hot months. By all means let us
have the expenditure of that $50,000
this summer when it is needed. If
nothing is done while the present
excellent opportunity is afforded,
the committee will have to bear the
blame for the failure.

K. I'. Roggen of this city, it was
claimed, was to have been ap

make none whatever until after the
supreme court should have handed
down a decision in his favor, and
might have refrained from doing so
had the pressure been less weighty

William A. Cleghorn of Louis

Helen Stander, daughter of Frank
Stander, Esq., of that city.
Willie was inclined to bachelor
hood, but the winning ways and
genial manners of Miss Helen were
too much ior him and he had to
surrender.
Mr. Cleghorn is one of Louisrille's
best and brightest young men and
well deserves the congratulations
of friends for the good fortune
which has attended him in the se

Cass county. Affirmed. Opinion
by Justice Norval.
Where a party cuts down a fence
on the lands of another, and after-
I wards attempts to justif- the act on
! the ground that the fence is within
i a public road, he must prove by a
preponderance ol tne evidence that
the fence at that point was within
the limits of a legally established
public highway.
2. The existence of a legal public
road over the premises ol a private
person ma' be shown by user
alone, but in that case the user
:'itist have been with the know
ledge of the owner, and have con
tinued the length of time necessary
to bar an action to recover the title
to land. This rule, however, does
no' apply when the user is of wild

H. The defendants have repeat
edly torn down plaintiff's fence in
order to pass over his lands, and
have threatened to continue to do
so. Held that the plaintiff is en

city of suits.

A rule of the district court which
provides that an action in which
the statutory time for filing a reply

been joined or noi, may be noticed
for trial at such term by either par
ty by filing with the clerk one week
before the commencement of the
term, and no action, not so noticed,
will be docketed for trial or tried
upon an issue of fact, except by
consent of both parties held, not to
apply to cases which are for hearing
on error.
2. Under the provisions of sec
tion 531 A of the code the wages ot
sixty days service of laborers, me
chanics or clerks, who are heads of
families, in the hands of their em
ployers, are absolutely exempt
from execution, attachment or

Two German Words Tliat STe.in Much.
German barbers in New York have a
curious system of signs and mysterious
words by which they indicate to each
otiier the tendency of customers to give
large tips, small tips or none at all. If
a new barber in a lare shop gets a gen
erous customer in his chair, a fellow
workman who has shaved the generous
customer before mutters in his ear.
Brunz"' that is, "lie tips." "Bnmz"
is a distinctively German product, and
till recently was never heard outside of
continental barber shops. Its greatest
merit is that it means nothing to per
sons who are not barbers, for it has no
indorsement from the German diction
aries, and does not even enjoy the ques
tionable authority of student slang.
German barbers in New York desig
nate a man wno gives no gratuities as a
"muff." Like "brunz," "muff" is no
word at all, and was invented by wily
continental barbers for the needs of the
shop only. The amount of the tip to be
expected is revealed by the old journey
men to the new ones by various contor
tions of the fingers and by low German
monosyllables of no apparent relevancy

Stones Are Composed of Shells.
The tripoli, used for polishing our ta
bleware, ia composed entirely of the si-
hcious shells of infusoria. The earthly
paint with which our houses are colored
is nothing but the remains of different
species of these animals. Even the hard
est rocks the flints show, when exam
ined under the microscope, that they,
too, are composed of the skeletons of in
fusoria. I once examined a thin sec tion
of a flint formerly used by the great
hunter, Daniel Boone. This flint was
composed of the shells of infusoria. The
gun, an old flintlock rifle, from which
this flint was taken, is still preserved at
Frankfort, Ky.
Even many of theprecious stones, such
as the caraelian, owe their beautiful
colors to the presence of fossil infusoria.
