Two years ago James Snell, of Cass
county lost a pocket book containing
fifteen dollars, and note3 amounting to
over seyenty-five dollars, also a few
postage stimps and several postal
cards. After hunting high and low,
and going all over his farm where a pos
sibility of the lost treasure might be
found, he gave up the search and
charged it to profit and loss. A few
days ago while going through his mead
ow, the lost article met his gaze lying
r -
tjust where it dropped two years be
fore. Upon opening, it was found to
be in a badly demoralized condition
the paste used in the manufacture of
the wallet had stuck tbe bills together
so tightly that Mr. Snell forwarded
them to Washington intact, and will let
the authorities perform the difficult
task. The signatures on the notes were
almost obliterated, the postal card3
frayed out at the edges, the postage
stamps in good order and the book a
total wreck. Ashland Gazette.
Wiggins Again
Letter by Prof. Wiggins: I have
now to announce that I have discov
ered the periodic time of the great
Saxeby gale of October 7, 1869-the
storm which almost annihilated the
forests f New England and the mara
time provinces, ruining their timber in
terests. This period I find to be 5.101 days, so
that it will be here on September 19th,
1887, and will be the greateac storm
that will take place before the year
1900. Its createst force will be u the
afternoon of September 20th, when the
forests on the eastern coast will go down
before it.
It will be accompanied by earth
quakes, and these will occur with vio
lence in the middle of October, in Cal
ifornia and western Europe. Let no
frail fisherman's bark theD cast its
shadow into the looking glass (of what
Horace calls him) the powerful gol of
the sea.
Between that period and tbe present,
the heaviest storms which will occur
are as follows:
September 20 23, 1831; October 20
22, 1885; March 10 20, 18S5; Sep
tember 29 30, 1886, very heaviest, and
March 26 29, 1887.

A good story is told on an Omaha
stock yards man in regard to the Irish
vote, which is worth repeating.
It seems the Omaha gentleman who
is a 'blarstcd Britisher," and a republi
can too, was having a chat with a
friend of his from l'la'.tMiiouth, when
the conversation turned onto the prcsi
dency. The Omaha gentleman said.
well, I cannot tupporl Blaine, though I
have always been a republican; I can
not stand his luieigu policy; the baild
nig up of the Irish at the expense of
the English don't auit me, and I for
one will not suppoit him, for there is
no question about hTTToreign policy
The juke becomes apparent when it
is known that the Plattsmouth gentle
men was not an Englishman, as his
friend supposed, but an Irish Demo
crat.
"Karl" at Foster's, a Large and De
lighted Audence,
The reappearance in this city of Mr.
Charles A. Gardner, as "Karl," was the
occasion gf a large and delighted audi
ence, at Foster's Opera House last even
ing. Mr. Gardner established himself
as a favorite in Des Moines some time
ago, and nothing but delightful memo
ries arehfddof his charming entertain
ment last fall; when he appeared with
so much success in the play, "Karl the
Peddler." Ho is a very interesting
commedian of the Gerniaa-American
sort, he presents a good play, and he
has associated with himself an excel
lent company. Under such circum
stances only a first-class entertainment
could have been expected last evening,
and in this respect the audienc was not
disappointed. The play of "Karl" has
been remodeled considerable since it
was last presented here and all the
changes are for the better. There are
some new people with the company,
particularly Miss Topsy Venn, as Mary
Atwood, the domestic, and Geo. R.
Caine as the lawyer and thay bring ad
ditional strength to the company. Mr.
Gardner sings as sweetly as ever, and
besides his old favorites, such as the
Lulla-by" and the "Chamoi3 Hunter,"
with its Tyrolcse warble, he has a new
song which takes very well. It is "Jack
in the Box," and there is a nice little
surprise connected with it in the third
act. Mi33 Veren delighted the audi
ence with her songs and dances, and
proved herself a charming little actress.
The music was one of tbe finest fea
tures of the entertainment. The com
pany have their own orchestra, and they
gave a regular programme of delightful
music, including cornet and zylophone
solos. The same play will be repeated
tonight, and it deserves the generous
patrense which it is Bure to receive.

Today J. Fred Johnson, through his
attorneys. Covell & Ransom, hied the
necessary papers in the district court
for the commencement of a suit for
$25,000 damages against the K. C. St.
Joe & C. B. R. R. Co., for damages sus
tained in an accident on that road in
1S83.
It will be remembered by the readers
of the News that Mr. Johnson was
thrown from the mail car on the K. C.
road on the 17th of September, 1883, by
the train colliding with a freight train
that stood on the side track. The ac
cident was caused by a misplacod
switch, and Fred foil on a pile of iron
and broke l.is leg just at the ankle joint.
ne was confined to his room for many
months, and is now only able to be
around with the acsistance of a cane.
His leg will never be stout again, and it
pained him so that he had te resign his
position as mail agent and retire to pri
vate life. Iu hi9 petition Johnson al
leges that he is a cripple for life, and
asks for $25,000 damages therefor.
The case will come up for hearing at
the next term of the district court.

Night.
Our people, who have rested lor some
time without bin mlftted by tho
visits of genuine burglars and house
breakers, were sr mew hat startled to
learn on Sunday morning that th
night previous had beta the ncenc v
three burglaries in our peaceful city.
Mr. F. McCourl, the grocer who i
sides on Ilih School hill, retired eaily
.Saturday evening and left lus bedroom
window up about six inches. On
awnkftiintr t It Is morning he found
the window up us far as it could be
raided nnd his punialoons appeared to

Mr. John IJ:un r, who resides en Vine
dtreet near Sixth, was also visited in
the same maimer, the paities getting
into the houre through a bed roomwm-
dow ; a pocket book and a few ceuts iu
change were all the losses sustained
here.
Two doors east of Mr. Bauer resides
Ed Stamm, the cigar manufacturer,
here the thieves were bothered with a
large, heavy screen, over the window,
which was put on with screws; they
carefully took them out, lifted the
screen, and gained access to the room
where Mr. Stamm was 6leeping, they
indented nothing except about $10 in
change which he had in his pocket.
Xo indication was left here as to
whom the parties were.
About 3 o'clock this morning, Mr.
Keller, the painter, was awakened by
parties trying to enter his house, he got
up in time to thwart their aims and to
get a slight view of them as they hur
riedly made their exit for safer parts.
Mr.K. awakened his neighbor, Dr..
Clutter, aud the two attempted to fol
low the parties, but it-i led owing to the
darkness to catch on.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians of

convention at Omaha on last Saturday,
June 2Ut.
Over one hundred members were
present from all parts of the st.-ite nnd
WiiS an enthusiastic and intelligent
body of men. Mr. O'Ketfe, of Omaha,
who id the national. delegate, presided,
and was unanimously re-elected for
two years.

The election of general officers was
an exciting and hotly contested affair.
There were candidates from Omaha,
O'Xeill City, Lincoln, Columbus and
Plattsmouth for the office of state sec
retary, but as usual, the wire puliiug
and fine work of the O'Connor crowd
carried the day in the election, M. Mc
Guire, of Plattsmouth City being elect

The lightning rod swindler is again
in the land. Like the swindlers who
follow with the circus, they will always
fiud some one whom they can gull. The
last victim we have heard of is a hotel
keeper at Wymore. He made a square
bargain with the agent to have his
house rodded at a certain price. After
the work was done, the lightning rod
man charged more than four times the
amount agreed upon, and demanded
and received a note for the full amount
claimed. Now the hotel man comes
out in a card, denouncing the lightning
rod man as a swindler. There is no
doubt that Ihere are men in the light
ning rod business who are skinning the
public in a brazeu shameful manner.
There is no safety in allowing these
men to climb your hause with a piece
of rod m hi3 hand. If yo do you will
either be compelled to pay four times
the actual price of the rod3 orj pay an
attorney to defend you in . a law suit.
The only safe way is to haye .no truck

This is iu acknowledgment of the
prompt, liberal and honorable manner
in which I have been dealt with by the
Nebraska and Iowa Insurance compa
ny. I suH'aiucd a terious loss by fire on
the 12th day of June, consuming my
dwelling house and contents. On the
lCLh day of June I was called upon by
. J. Alexander, who adjusted and pnid
the loss in lull.
I publish this for the reason thut I
was visited the day before my house
burned, by an agent of a foreign com
pany, who told me that my policy win
not worth 'he paper it was written on,
that the company was a "snide"' etc.

Hill Norris telis a good story ou
Chandler, the voluminous sheriff of
Hamburg, Iowa. Wheu Chandler und
Sheriff Farrel were bringing Norria
and Poke Wells down from Wisconsin,
Poke was placed on an improvised cot
being badly wounded. Chandler had
just telegraphed to the station ahead
for the people to come and "see two
bloodthirsty desperadoes I have cap
tured." (Captured after they were
handcuffed and shackled.) Farrel had
become sick of this business, and ex
tracting the shells from a navy handed
it to Poke. Wells af once took the euo
and slipped the revolver under his
blanket. As the train approached the
next station Chandler stepped off and
proceeded to gather up a crowd, aud
heading the procession, marcbod into
the car where he was exhibiting his
menagerie. With a quick motion,
Poke snatched up his revolver, aud
snapped it at the crowd. Chandler fell
over backward and the mob rushed
frantically over him, scratching, fight
ing and kicking to see who would get
out first. It reminded oue of a herd of
Texas cattle stampeding. Chandler
sneaked in at the other end of the cur,
after the excitement had subsided, and
said: "ifoung man, don't do that again
