A Lru I'a Crop. This morning a llUKAI.l) reporter took a ride out on the river where they are cutting ice for next sum mer, lie first visited the place where II. C. McMaken & Son ne cutting ice, at the mouth of the Platte river, and watched them load the ice. They loaded about five wagons every ten minutes. It is done by hitching n horse to a long string of enkes of ice in what they call a chute and pulling them up . onto a long platform, from where they are loaded into the wagons, loading from five to eight wagons at a time. .Mr. McMaken said they would put up about 8,000 tons of ice, and that it was the best ice that had been put up in this city for years. We next visited the place where K. S. White is cutiing ice, about opposite the II. fc M. depot. Here they were also getting excellent ice( but they had from ten to fifteen wagons waiting to be loaded, as they load by hand, two men lifting a cake out of the water and putting it into the wagon, making very slow work of it. We then drove further down to where Win. Weber's men were cutting ice. They also had a slow -way of loading but did it faster V than Mr. White's men. AGREED TO DISAGREE.

A case of kidnapping occurred this morning three miles west of Murray. At about 8 o'clock a man presented himself at the barn of Jones & Fitzgerald and asked for a team, telling them what he wanted it for to go and get his child out at Dave Rusterholtz's, and gave them to understand that he was going to get the child at any cost, whereupon he was refused the services of a team. He then went to the stable of C. W. Holmes, but there he said he wauted a '.earn and a driver to take him out tothefara of Raster holtz, three milles west of Murray, and to get him back to Murray in time to catch the Missouri Pacific train south, and if he missed the train at Murray to take him to Union or Weeping Water, but he did not tell them what he was go ing for. He was accordingly furnished a team and Cliff Benfer was sent as driver. They left Plattsmouth a few minutes before 9 o'clock, arriving at the residence of Dave Rusterholtz a little before eleven. The man who done the kidknap ping is a son-in-law of Mr. Ruster holtz and father of the child.his wife having died some time ago, and the child in question hssbeen making her home with her grand parents. The man drove up to the house; leav ing the driver to watch the team, he went to the house and knocked at the door. The "door was opened by one. of the in mates and he went in and picking up the little girl com menced talking to her. He then looked up at the clock, remarking that as it was so near dinner time he would have the driver put the team in the barn. He then opened the door, still having the little girl in his arms, and stepped outside. As soon as he got outside of the house he started on a run for the buggy, putting the child in without any wraps on whatever, and ordered the driver to go ahead. Informa tion was at once brought here and dispatches sent to Murray, Union and Weeping Water, notifyingtheni of what had occurred. C. W. Holmes says he cannot ac couut for the driver running the horses , as Benfer has been in his employ for n long lime and was a very careful driver. It is supposed that the man had urged him to whip up so he could catch the train at Murray, and Benfer think ing everything alright had done as directed. The man was captured at Nebras ka City, and officers will be sent af ter him to-night. District court is in session to day clearing up the October docket and getting ready for the March term.

Young, south of town, returned to her home in Waterloo, Neb., this morning. HIS PLAN FAILED. Everton Schlegel Disapproves of Hia Sitter's Lover and Tries to Whale Him-Hi Geta Badly Worsted and Has His Conqueror Arrested for Assault. i The following from the Lincoln ' News will be of unusual interest to , Mr. Everton Schlegel's friends in this city: "The assertion that the course of ; true love never did run smooth is is exemplified once more in Lin- known people. The case is not out ! of the usual run of such ones, where a handsome daughter falls into love with a young man whose qualities are not appreciated by the young lady's parents and espec ially by her big brother, who swears dire vengeance upon the head of the young lover, and starts out with the determined intention of putting them into execution. "The matter is brought to light by the arrest of Ed Cassidy, a young man employed in the Lin coln postoflice, who is charged with assault and battery upon the person of Everton Schlegel, a son of Alex Schlegel, a draughtsman, in the employ of the state, and who is well known at the capitol building. The story as told to the police is that Cassidy and Schlegel met a few days since and a wordy battle ensued, the latter seriously object ing to the former's attention to his sister. Hatred existed between the two and blows followed, after each had exhausted his flow of speech. It is said that young Schlegel was worsted in the fight, and that Cas sidy struck the first blow, thereby forming grounds for a case of as sault and battery. "The attachment which exists be tween Mr. Cassidy and Miss Schlegel is of long standing and the oppo sition of the parents apparently only serves to increase the affection and bind closer together the loving hearts of the young couple. It is said that they meet by appointment at the homes of friends, where they carry on their love making and are said to be as happy as doves. On several occasions the aid of an offi cer has been invoked to find them, but to no avail, and the place of their meeting remains a secret to all save themselves. "Cassidy's case has been set for hearing by Judge Houston at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning, and both sides will probably be there in force to contest it bitterly and at that time new developments may come to light It would seem better if such matters were amicably ad justed without going iuto a police court." ... An Old Settler Gone. The editor of this paper received a telegram last night bearing the sad intelligence of the death of W. W. Gulliou at his home near Green wood. We have written many obituaries for publication, but never before did words come so slow to express our bereavement as at this time. The deceased was an uncle of the writer's and one we always loved and was proud jto serve. When the cords of relative heart-strings are touched one can then more vividly realize what death means. And so it is with us We but submit to the working of the Great Ruler who doeth all thing well. Deceased came to Cass county in 1854, and on the 14th day of June built a log house in Plattsmouth. At that time there was but one house in Plattsmouth a trading house belonging to Samuel Martin. He was the first elected constable in Cass county. On the breaking out of the gold excitement in 1858 Mr. Gullion went to Pikes Peak and Denver, and for six years engaged in freighting across the plains. In 1879 he bought a large farm near Greenwood, where he lived until death claimed him on Wednesday, Jan, 20, 1892, at the age of 65 years. He leaves a loving wife and two sons to mourn their loss. Peace be unto his soul. Elinwood Echo. Mrs. C. E. Wescott and son, Cliff, were passengers for Omaha this morning. TTm.

Philadelphia, Jan. 22- Shipping circles were stirred up to-day over a report that the government has impressed the American line steam er Ohio, to be used in case ot war.. The officers of the steamship com pany admitted that the Ohio was taken off a regular trip, but were careful to say that she hac not been- chartered by the government. From another reliable source it was learned without doubt that the government has exercised its riht to take possession of any merchant vessel sailing; under the national Hag for use when war demands it and under this law has impressed the Ohio.
