F. Murrell, this afterru)on. which utatcs that li was kidnaped lj two Mexicans at Coleman Junction, 154 miles west of here, at 11:25 o'clock on the night of tlia 24th, and that he wus tied upon a horse and being carried in a northwest direc tion toward the Tvxns and Pacifc rail road. After a few lines to his wife and children the letter states that he was forc ed by the Mexicans to closs writing and here the letter ends. Mr. Murrcll left Temple on the even ing of the 24th for Coleman and Iiallin- jjer on a pltusure trip and reached Cole man nt 11:21 p. m. on the 24th. This let ter to Mr. Wright bears evidence of hav ing been mailed on ths train north of Denison, Tex., on tha 23th. These facts make it apparent that foul plaj under lies the whole matter, and Mr. Murrcll is the victim. The Hews of this outrage spread among the friends of Murrell like wildfire, he being a most popular and worthy gentle man, and the city is in a fever of excite ment. Scores of men stand ready to join an expedition to search for him. 15. T. Murrell is a member of the firm of T. C. Wright & Son, who conduct a general livery and transfer business, and is an in offensive and honorable gentleman, and there can be no reason assigned for kid naping him. Frank Murrell is about 5 feet 8 inches high, and will weigh 165 pounds. He has only three ringers on his right hand, the Utile finger being entirely gone. J I is face is round and rather freckled. Wrecked Near Alma. Lincoln, Neb., April 23. Just after G o'clock yesterday morning at a point two and a half miles west of Alma, the cannon ball traiu struck a weakened bridge. The engine went across all right, but the tender, baggage car and mail car ment down. The wreck caught fire and these were burned. Tho mail and express matter wore saved. Two passenger coaches and one Pullman left the track, tho rest remaining on. L. A Towue, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was killed. Five others were injured more or lass seriously, the conductor among them. The names and minor par ticulars have not yet been learned in this city. Charles Eaton, f this city, travelling for a Kansas City house, is among the in jured. Mrs. Eaton has gone to the scene. The wounded are being cared for by the company. The cause of the accident was the weakening of the bridge by heavy rains. The road-bed was constructed ten years ao, and this is the first trouble n that neighborhood from water. Thw train was on time and was running at the usu:il rate of speed or the accident would have been worse. The W C. T- U. Board Lincoln, Neb., April 28. The state executive committee of the W. C. T. U. closed a two days session in this city yesterday. The meeting was the semi annual una of the executive board, and the financial exhibit showed the receipts for the past six months to be $S42.57, and the dUbureemen's $30o.G7. The amended articles of incorporation were adopted and the question of publishing a state paper was considered and lett with the committee. Tho following officers were elected for the coming year: Pres ident, Mrs. M. M. Lantry, Omaha; Mrs. II. W. Hardy, Lincoln, treasurer; Mrs. Cole, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Eddreger recording secretary. Cowardly Murcter of a Negro- Pasktsixk, Tcx., April 27. On Mon day night last Abe Wiley, a colored man. farming on Paul Ileulelberg's plantation, twenty miles north of Palestine, was called out on his front gallery and fired upen by some unknown person with a shotgun, his body being riddled with buckshot and producing instant death. There is no clew or suspicion as to the identity of the murderer. Wiley had no enemies in this neighborhood, but several years ago, while living in another part of the country, was suspected of belonging to a beef-stealing gang. Tcok Belladonna. SCPCYLER, Neb April 28. James Miller attempted suicide yesterday by taking Belladonna. He was found about 12 o'clock in the pasture of C. .Baily, a quarter of a mile from his home. He is a young married man of about SO. lie has been a resrdent of Schuyler lor about eight months, working it the rattle ranch of II. C. Wright Domestic trouble is supposed to bs tho cause. There is no hope of his recovery, as he has laid in an unconscious condition since discovered. Destructive Lightning- Oakland, Neb., April 28.

A new line of Crockery and Queens ware just opened at a26-3t Lehxiioff & Soxxicusfn's. NEWSPAPER NOTORIETY. WTUat Is Said of Women Who Ar Knows to the World at Large. Mme. Ristori is thinking of going on the stage again. Lady Randolph Churchill is coming to Uils country next summer. The eight bridemaids of the Princess of Wales are all alive and married. When the empress of Austria travels incog, she is known as the Countess of liohencmbs. The medical attendant of the queen of Corea is an American lady phybician, who receives a salary of $15,000 a year. Tho empress of Germany, in the event of the death of the emperor, will be en titled to 40,000 from the government. The original of Mirah in "Daniel De ronda" was Mrs. Ayrton, now a promin ent advocate of the higher education of women in London. Mrs. Georgia A. Peck is the managing editor of The Boston Commonwealth and is the only woman in New England hold ing a similar position. Mrs. Bloomfield Moore intends to found a hospital in Austria, in which incurable patients will be experimented on with electricity, "etheric force," etc. Mme. Christine Nilsson, Countess de Miranda, will closo her artistic career by singing for the last time at Albert hall, in London, May 25 and June 20. The gastronomical director of the aris tocratic Capital City club, of Atlanta, Ga., is a colored woman who is noted far and near for her skilL She is paid a salary of $1,500 a year and allowed $1,000 for an assistant. Two French ladies lately agreed upon a trial for 1,000 francs toseo which could talk the faster. The contest was to en dure for three hours. One pronounced 203,560 words, reading from Eugene Sue. The other pronounced 206,311, and won the prize. A prominent lawyer in Chicago Is Mrs. Catherine V. Waite, who is a graduate of Oberlin college and the Union College of Law. She does very little practicing. her time being occupied with tho publi cation of The Chicago Law Times, a well known legal quarterly. Hie illustrious Mme. Albani says that in all her career she never faced an audi ence without being scared half out of her wits. Even now, having long retired from the public stage, though with her voice still as perfect as ever, she says she cannot Btand up to sing before a dozen friends in her own parlor without a fit of nervous trembling. Mrs. James Brown Potter is an expert seamstress, and frequently made portions of her own gowns before her stage career enabled her to employ French dress makers. She recently remarked: "The southern woman does not know as much about housekeeping as the northern, but she generally does know how tossew, and doesn't think it much of a feat to cut and make her own clothes. It is interesting to learn that Mrs. Cleveland always calls her husband "Mr. President. " Mr. Cleveland addresses his wife as "Frank." Martha Washington, in her younger days, called her husband "George," but in the last twenty-five years of her life 6he always addressed him as "General. While in the White House Mrs. Hayes called her husband "Mr. Hayes." Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Garfield always addressed their husbands respectively as "Abram" and "Jim." Now the question is: What should a president's wife, according to etiquette, call her husband? Precedent seems to give no answer. Miss Dolling, the lady in charge of the nurses attending on the emperor of Ger many, is an Irish woman of good family, many of whose relatives are well known in London. She formerly lived in Merion square, Dublin, where one of her brothers now resides, but left that city and a place in a fashionable life to learn nursing in England's capital She is an accom plished linguist, a refined and intellectual woman, and, above alL as her present charge 6hows, an excellent nurse. She is in good circumstances from a financial standpoint, but the entire family have suffered a reduction in their incomes be cause of their inability to collect from their Irish tenants.

There's an end to all toiling someday, (But it's weary the waiting weary '.) There's a harbor somewhere. In a peacof ul tay. Where the sails will be furled and the ship will lay At anchor somewhere la tho far away (But it's weary the waiting weary :) There's an end to the troubles of souls oppressed, (But it's weary the waiting weary :) Kometime, in the future, when God thinks boat. He'll lay us down tenderly to rest And ro.ses '11 row from the thorns In the breaht, (Hut It's weary tho waiting weary !) There's an end to the world with itsiitormy frown, (But it's weary the waiting weary:) There's a light somewhere that no dark can down, And where life's sad burdens ore all laid down, A crown thank God for each cross a crowol (But it's weary the waiting weary !) Painter and Pupil. An interesting anecdote of Gerome is told in the studios to point a moral that can hjrdly be enforced to often, viz. : the importance of preserving in tho finished work tho im pression that fascinates the artist himself at the high tido of his inspiration. A pupil had begun a landscape in which Gcrome's eye saw promiso of a delightful j ! : ;.f work. Some weeks later tho musUir u&ked to seo the picture, and when his wish was granted expressed his disappointment with its completed state by saying: "You should, have had somebody behind jou to fire a pistol close to your ear every five minutes. Then." added he, waving his hand toward tho picture, "you would have not gone to sleep." New York Press. The Live Novel. Through tho entire gamut of human ex perience, whether attuned to the thunder of cannon or to the laughter of children, it i the actual, the real, which lays tho strongest and most lasting hold on the attention. I do not mean the hard, superficial realism of the photograph, but that which presents the complete man, woman or child, soul as wJI as body, motives as well as manner, the pul sations of the heart rather than the conven tionalities impressed by tho time and environ ment. Tho live novel can be written aa long as there ore live people to read and feel. E. P. Hoe in Tho Forum. The Barber's Taper. The queer word "singeing" is now posted up in at least ono big barber shop down town. It illustrates how eager we are to copy every thing that is English. For singeing the ends of the hair after it has been cut is a new wrinkle in London, adopted there on the probably silly theory that after tho hair has been burned, following the operation with tho scissors, it will not only grow mora strongly, but will cease to fall out. Tho new fad is performed with an aesthetic little wax taper held against the end of the hairs as tho barber combs thcui up a row at a time. New York Sun. Enjoying Their Riches. The Rothschilds believe in enjoying their wealth. One of the Frankfort barons not long ago paid $160,000 for a silver cup which he wished to use as a center piece of a table service which he was making up, and one of the Vienna barons has a stable which cost $80,000. This stable has marble floors, en caustic tiles painted by distinguished artists, and its walls are frescoed with scenes done by well known painters. The rings, chains and fittings of the stable are silver, and one box stall for a favorite horse cost, it is said, $12,000. Home Journal Bnsslan Rich Men. Russian millionaires spend their money lavishly on whims. Ono at Moscow built a private theatre for the production alternately of Italian and Russian operas. Another, who spends most of his time at Nice, keeps his own orchestra, which compares with the best. A merchant of Odessa maintains a magnificent theatre at enormous expense. This is a much better way of spending money than that followed by many wealthy and titled Englishmen, inasmuch as it does not expose the spenders to the scorn of the world, Boston Budget. A. Gold Timepiece. And so you want a gold watch, my son? And why, pray? Doesn't your silver watch keep just as good time as if it wore gold coses? Ah, but, you say, it is so humiliating to pull out a silver watch in a company where gold watches are in every pocket. Nonsense! If it is humiliating, then keep it in j'our pocket. Nobody will suspect that your watch is not of tho approved metaL And where everybody having a gold watch is intent on displaying his own timepiece, nobody will ask or care to sea yours. Boston Transcript. French Epicure Cheese. The cheese for excellence with high livers is Roquefort. It is French, and made of goat's milk and herbs. It is very rich, and is served just before coffee at dinner. Roque fort is almost a religion with French epi cures, and is equally well thought of by a little animal probably first cousin to tho American "skipper." This little animal is also part of tho French epicure's religion. If tho cheese does not contain him it is looked upon with suspicion, as his discrimination is very fine. Chicago Herald. Ono Feature Omitted. - Millionaire Patron (with wart on his nose) The portrait is excellent, Mr. Tubes, but you've left out one very essential feature. Mr. Tubes Excuse me, sir, but I thought you wouldn't care to have the er er wart reproduced. Millionaire Patron Confound you, sirl I'm talking about the diamond pin not tho wart!" Judge. Th Word "Volapnk." A perplexed reader in Riverhead, L. L, wants to know how the word Volapuk is pronounced. Well, it is pronounced almost every way, but the correct way is said to bo Vo-la-pweek, with tho accent on the last syl lable, which is spoken very quickly. New York Tribune. Sending a Kiss. After an enthusiastic lover spends two hours' bard labor over a letter to his girl, and then mars its beauty by spilling a drop of ink on it, he first swears in a very scien tific manner for a few moments, and then draws a circle around the blot and tells her it is a kiss. , Bargains !
