A GREAT CASE.
A Rival of the Ellenbaum-BUstelrt
Case to be Tried In
County Court.
Away alotiR in the sober days of
last autumn, when the bright
golden leaven of the forest trees

yellow leaf," and the democratic
candidate had given up the ghost
and retired from the race, John
Kiaer, a lusty and vigorous disciple
of the "calamity howlerB." walked
into "Hilly" Weber's aalooon and in
thunder tone9 proclaimed that he
had sundry and divers dollars iu
his pockets to wager that Joseph
Edgerton would be the next
supreme judge. No notice was
taken of this bold "deli," for no one
supposed that Kiser meant it, but
he did, and vociferously proclaimed
it again and again, until, to prevent
his place being pulled for dis
orderly conduct, Weber was com-
pelled to take ten dollars' worth of
the bet. After a great and unseemly
wrangle, C. H. Vallery was made
stakeholder, and the parties abided
the judgment of the people. Of
course, you all know how it came
out. Kdgerton wasn't in it; he
never knew he was running. Hon.
A. M. Post abolished his candi
dature in short order. Hut after
the election Kiser became a
changed mm. He no longer
desiied to deposit funds on Mr.
Edgerton's clectioti, but on the con
trary, he notified Mr. Vallery that
the money must not be paid over to
Weber. After repeated demands,
Weber sued for the amount. The
case was set for trial to-day, but,
owing to other business, the court
was forced to continue it indefi
nitely. Byron Clark and Charley
Grimes represent the plaintiff,
while S. P. Vanatta is for the
defendant.

PUT TO SEA IN A HURRY.
Mysterious Movements of the United

San Francisco, Cal., March. 14.
The United States cruiser Charles
ton came down from Mare Island
to-day and put to sea at once with
out stopping. Her destination is
not know 11 positively, but it is be
lived s' e has gone to San Diego to
await "den. for Bering sea.
Th nine activity that prevailed
at ' re Island navy yard during
the .scussion of the Chilian affairs
has again been revived by reason
of the Bering sea controversy, and
every indication points strongly to
the fact that the United States pro
poses to send immediately north all
the available navy vessels on the
Pacific coast station.
A SURE THING.
Plattsmouth Will Play Ball
Its
League Club a Winner,
The local base ball management
has been on the rustle for sometime
and has finally received encourage
ment enough to warrant them in
declaring that Plattsmouth will
have base ball and good ball, too.
T. M. Patterson has had the entire
control of the club in his hands for
some time, and to his efforts can
this city lay its success. He has
already signed eight players and
has several more iu view. The
players so far signed are Maupin,
catcher of last year's Lincoln Giants
and Plattsmouth clubs; Reeves, a
crack colored pitcher of KanHBB
City; George Yapp, our crack
pitcher of last year; Gibson, first
baseman, of Fairfield, Iowa; Mc
Kibben, second baseman of last
season's Hastings team; Porter, of
the Pueblo, Colorado, team, third
base; Clark, of Carroll, Iowa, short
stop, and Bradford, of the Omaha
Nonpareils, fielder. It is possible,
however, that Bradford may not
play here. He has been dickering
with Beatrice, and they claim him.
Patterson still hopes to keep him.
The team compares favorably with
unyjin the league and, no doubt, will
be "in it" from the start. In fact, if
our enthusiasm gets worked up, we
will soon be ready to claim the
championship.
Hastings has finally determined
to enter the league and Kearney is
said to be getting in trim for a
fight. If these two clubs come in,
Norfolk will be retained and an
eight-club circuit formed. From
present indications the Nebraska
state league will be a flourishing
success.
World's Fair Notes.
Bulgaria has decided to partici
pate in the exposition. Foreign
participation, so far as ascertained
up to the present, embraces
seventy-two nations androvinces.
The Women's Christian Temper
ance Union wants to put up a
building, 70x100 feet, in which to
exhibit the entire eystemjof its
work and to conduct a cafe for the
sale of temperance drinks.
The city of Cincinnati wants to
erect a building at the exposition,
to be used as a club house and
receptacle for a municipal exhibit.
It is willing to expend$30,000 in the
undertaking.
Seven of the worlds fair buildings
are now bo far advanced that they
are fast assuming thefappearanec
of finished structures. The rough
carpentry work ou them is Jpracti
cully done and the (ornamental and
finishing work on themes in pro
gress. Tnese buildings are the
woman's horticultural, transporta
tion, mines, forestry, administra
tion and fisheries. Five more the
government, linearis, agricultural
dairy and Illinois state--are erected
to the roof. The electricity, manu
factures and machinery buildings
are being advanced rapidly.
The exposition authorities are
anxious that all of the states and
territories which intend to erect
buildings at the exposition and
which have not yet submitted plans
for approval, do so at the earliest
possible moment. Very soon a
time will be speciliedbeyond which
plans will not be accepted. May 1
is the date likely to be chosen. The
demand for space is so greut that
delinquent states are liablejto lose
their sites that have been assigned
to them.
The Suffolk Horse Society of
Ivngland have ottered two gold
medels af the value of .Kl for the
best Suffolk horse and mare or filly

Chicago.
Mr. Ossian Guthrie of Chicago,
together with many other scien
tists, declare that no more striking
proofs of the glacial epoch exist
in this country than are seen in the
DespluincH valley between Chicago
and Juliet. For educational rea
sons Mr. Guthrie advocates the
making of an exhibit demons) ruling
this fact at the world's fair, with
maps, surveys and collections of
geological specimens, which are
abundant, so arranged as to show
the lines of glacial progres. This,
he estimates, would reiiiire about
$10,0011.

AN ENTERPRISING NEEDLE.

Oliver M. St igsr, wholomlo drurlst

on his olliui desk yesterday a enmmoa
tewing ueerlle, nn inch and a half
long, with a blunt point, to which waa
attached two inches of No. 10 thread
tloublod, says the N. Y. IWmrs. To a
hundred inquirers during the dy Mr.
Stiger arwwered that h had carried
the needle and thread in the. muscle
ef his right side for over two years.
Last Thursday evening when Mr.
Stiger retired he complained of a sharp
pain in his right side just below th
shoulder blade, and Mrs. Stigcr, whlls
attempting to relieva the pain, dis
covered a small red spot, from the
center of which protruded the point of
a needle. She easily drew the needle
and thread out, and when it was show
to Mr. Stiger he remarked: "Then
that has been the cause of all my ill
ness these two years."
Mr. Stifjer was seen at his oflieo yes
terday afternoon and told the follow
ing story:
"About two years ago 1 became sud
denly troubled with a pain in the thick
of my riht thigh, and I treated my
self for rheumatism, bat I found no re
lief. The pain moved up my right
side and settled over the pleura region,
and I concluded that 1 had nn attack
of pleurisy, and treated accordingly.
For a year and a half the pain did not
let up. Then it ascended again, and
ettled in the base of my right long. 1
was troubled with a constant cough. I
made up my mind I had gone into
consumption, and I consulted special
ists. Violent exercise was reoom
mended, and the movement of the
muscles must have worked the needle
out.
"I cannot imagine how I got the
needle and thread in me. I could not
havo swallowed it. I must have sat
upon it. Every vestige of illness left
me and I felt like a new man. My
physicians consider me a very fortu
nate man, for, they said, if the needle
had gone inward Instead of outward
my hf would have been lost."

Until hr the Duke of Athele.
Aa eccentric Duke or Alhole, in
lSfli), for no apparent reason, closed
to tourists a lovely glen on hU estate.
Indignant letters, condemning his ac
tion, thereujioii appeared in the news
papers, and John Leech jiortrayed the
old Duke In t'tinr.h as a "Scotch Dog in
the Manger." The decision was hoou
reversed -whether or not as a wult
of the newspaper war does not matter,
but subsequently events proved that
the Duke hore the daring caricaturist
no malice.
Soon after the druwing had appear
ed. Leech, sketch-book in hand, was
wandering about the Athole estate,
when a horseman approached, attend
ed by a groom.
"What i vour name," asked the
rider, "and w'hst are you doing here?"
"I am an artist," said the intruder,
"ami my name is Leech.
"Not John Leech?"
"Yes, John."
The artist felt sure thai he was
about to receive a sharp reprimand for
having held a noble Duke up to ridi
cule, aud mildly said that be would
not iutrude farther, but would return
to his inn.
"No, sir," said the stranger, "no inn
for you to-night. You must dine and
sleep at mv house. , I am the Duke of
Athole."
Then tire Duke told the servaut to
dismount, insisted that Leech should
take his place, and the two rode off to
gether. The road to the castle lay through a
rough country, and culminated in a
narrow and broken path, withaclilT
on one side and a precipice on the
other. The arlisl hesitated.
"Has he brought me here to break
my neck?" thought he. Then he tim
iillv advanced, and leuched the Duke,
who had sKjpped for him at a point
where the path was still mote danger
ous. "Are you the man. sir, who has
maligned me iu I'hikIiT' inquired the
Duke, liercely.
"Your tiraee," said Leech, nervous
lv. "we -we - thai i. nearly every
one. has done something that he -he
regrets having done. I am very or
rv I regret very much that antlhino
I liate done should have given you an
noyance." Then lh Duke's a fleeted tiereeuess
incited into the jovial manner -aid to
lie peculiar Ni him. and the two rode
nIT pleasantly together. Al I he castle
