The wife of a certain striking eniri
neer in this city who befriends a littl
pug, which is often seen on the street
with a chain attached to it and neatly
dressed by a blanket which is strapped
around it in some way, is often heard
talking to the little cur in a way that
would lead an unobserving person to be
lieve she was in company with some per
son whom she admired to her heart's
content. The little fellow is called
Laddie and whenever he acts contrary
shi will make such a threat as "Laddie,
dear, yon must mind me or I shall whip
you," or, "Laddie, dear, you must be a
nice little fellow today, or I will not take
you out for a walk." It is the greatest
wonder in the world that "Laddie dear"
don't die with concussion of the brain
from such remarks. The lady we Lave
reference to and her "Lady deal;" passed
this office the other evening when her
"Laddie dear" dropped in and called on
U3. She called him to her side saying:
"Laddie, dear, yon must not go in there,
tbtt u a Blab off.ee." "laddie deir,"

A Sensation.
Quite a startling sensation occurred on
Chicago avenue on Tuesday night the 7th
inst. at the residence of our county clerk.
It will be remembered that Messrs. Foltz
and Dickson, the county commissioners,
board and room with Mr. Critchfield
while in session as a county board, and,
also does a young lady that we will here
designate as Miss X. It so happened on
the night mentioned that there was a
social given in the neighborhood and
Miss X was invited. Through the grave
cjuriosity of the commissioners they
thought to arrange an alarm in some way
so as to awaken them on the return of
the lady designated and lead them into
the intelligence as to the time of return
and as to who accompanied the said lady,
Upon inquiry of-Mrs. Critchfield as to
what she could produce to make a noise.
she brought forward an old dish-pan
with only one ear gone and said that
was gu article of tinware she had no use
for and that she wished to donate it to
the lady above mentioned anyway and
offered her willingness to let them (com.)
place it at the young lady's disposal.
Thereupon the commissioners attached
a string to the door knob and to the
lonely ear of the dish-pan, at the same
time putting the nan at the head of the
stairs that ascend immediately inside b
the door. They filled the pan with some
clothespins which Mrs. C. had also do
nated to the vounsr couple. After all
was arranged in proper shape the occu
pan's retired to await developments.
At precisely 13 o clock tootsteps were
heard at the front gate and after the pre
limiuaries which are common in such
cases, Mr. Buz departed, only to be
recalled by the screams of his partner on
entering the door and at a noise that
Gabriel's horn will be no comparison
The dishpan will never forget the jumps
from one step to the other as it decended
those stairs (if it has any thinking, facul
ty). Mr. Buz re-entered the gate as
fast as possible and asked: A-r-e u-u-u
hur-hurt-d-d-dear? The answer was n-n
n-o-o-o, d-d-dear. Then there was
silence broken by beating hearts that was
easily heard up stairs where the commis
sioners were in bed stuffing the bedding
in their mouths to keep them from
laughing out. The silence was then
mingltd with whispers, threats, consolin
words, etc, wnereupon tne young cou
pie concluded they had'nt done so bad
after all, and so saying, the voung Buz
took the dishpan and started home ejacu
lating that he was in possession of one of
the main articles of furniture for house
keeping. The parties, we understand
are now planning to make a boat out of
the dishpan and descend the Missouri
river so that they may not be here when
Foltz aDd Dickson' return.
Christian Science.
Miss Ella Benford, an estimable young
lady from Beatrice and a Christian scien
tist, is in the city for the purpose of heal
ing any who may be afflicted, and also
awakening an interest in the science
among the people. Miss Benford has
studied under the best instructors, hav
ing gone through a class under a Mrs.
Finn, of Omaha, and also under Mrs.
Eddy, of Boston, who is the found
er of Christian science in this age.
Miss Benford intends making it a life
time work, and is studying constantly.
sue wouia ue wining to taiK wun any
one who is at all interested in the science.
and anyone wishing to consult her with
regard to treatment will find her at the
Stadelmann House.

An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted? If
you will remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, . etc.
