months.
Miss Lelia Thomas and Mrs. Lidia

and will return to her home, while Miss

I Mr. Frank. Foster a well known citizen
'' of Plattsmouth, who was seriously ill for

heen spending several weeks si ace he
partially recovered from the first attack,
tJt home in Iowa, for the purpose of re
cruiting, hug returned to the city to re
sume his work at the B. & depot, and
he will start to work tomorrow morning.
Since his departure from here, he suffered
a relapse which gave him a close call.
"We are pleased to see him rapidly re
covering from the long siege and able to

A young man, who apparently had
it in for somebody last night, rapped at
the door of a certain man's house and in
quired for him. lie was informed that
the man of the bouse was not at home at
the time, but the young man was invited
in to await his arrival. It was noticed
that he had blood in his eye and a watch
was kept over him. lie recognized a
life sized portrait of the man he was in
pursuit of, hanging against the wall, and
when he believed himself alone, ha
marched boldly opposite the picture and
fairly hissed: "Old man, it's a mighty
good thing fur you it's your picture and
not you I'm looking at. If I had you
here this minute I would shake you so
hard that you would always remember
me." By the occasional shtke of the
head noticed by the spectators, they
were under the impression that he meant
busines. As this young man was laying
off the law in this way, the original of
the portrait opened a door at his back,
unheard, an 1 stopped close behind him
go that he could distinctly hear all that
was said. After he hud completed his
volume of hlaxphemy, he slowly reversed
himself to gzc upon the man he had
been speaking f for some time. It is
needless to say he looked as meek as a
kitten and all signs of fight was a thing
of the past.

Men, Women and Children Slaugh
tered by Natives In Peru.
San' Francisco, Dec. 4. Advices from
Peru, received by a Panama steamer, re
port terrible atrocities committed in the
interior of the country by Indians. The
curate of Moyaro was shot and beaten to
death with sticks and stones, and when
his old mother interfered she was shot
and her head cut off. Another woman
who tried to save her was also killed.
The bodies of all three were wrapped in
hides and thrown into the river. At
Lopeza a street .riot occurred owing to
the attempt to head a movement for
Camacbo, the revolution leader. By the
imiiscriminathe firing of the goyernraent
troops, 137 men, women and children
were killed and sixty wounded.
A Lynching Party.
Canon City, Dec. 3. George Wither
ill, who is charged with the murder of
Chas. IL McKain near this place about a
month ago, and who, it is also charged,
killed two other men in this state, arrived
here this morning from Denver to stand
trial. At this time (11:30 p. m.) several
hundred citizens are on the streets armed
with shot guns and revolvers, determined
to take Witherill from the jail and lynch
him. The sheriff's family live in a part
of the jail aud the sheriff is trying to
keep the mob off on the plea of having a
very sick child. Harry Perdu, another
murderer confined in the same jail, will
likely suffer the same fate as Witherill.
if the mob gains possession of the
prisoners.

trict gained 25 in this city, which elects
him by 17. Fleming (dem.) for governor

WHAT ON EARTH
Is the reason people will not, can not, or
do not see any difference in cheap nos
trums put up by Cheap John houses or
irresponsible parties at enormous profits,
rather than take a medicine of world
wide reputation and ope that is giving
universal satisfaction at equal price? No
medicine in the world is giving such un
paralleled satisfaction for purifying the
blood as BEGG'S BLOOD PURIFIER &
BLOOD MAKER, and every bottle that
does not do its work will cost you noth

The rule of growth is that u child
shauld increase, two pounds in weight
re-every inch in height between three
und four feet, und two and u half
hju mis for every inch Ijetween four
and five feet. A remarkable fact is
that the boys at the public schools and
young men at the universities, and
entering the public service, here called
the upper classes, average about three
inches taller, and from six pounds to
twenty pounds heavier, than boys in
the board schools and young npprcn
liccs und workmen. Two causes may
be assigned for this: first, heredity;
and secondly, fuvorable surroundings.
Deficient and improper food, town air,
laborious work at early ages, all stunt
the growth. Every one knows how a
change from close town to free coun
try life, with plenty of exercise, stimu
lates growth. A good rule for pre
dicting future height is that if live feet
is passed between 10 and 11 years of
age, the child will be tall; if between
13 and 14 years, of medium stature; if
not till 15 years of age, he will be

The Way of It.
There wero four or five men in a
knot, and they were discussing a can
didate who had been elected.
"I'm sorry he got there," said one.
"So am L added a second. "He's
a dangerous man."
"He ought to be tarred and feath
ered, instead of holding an office I" ex
claimed a third.
"Yes, and I'd like to put on the tarl"
shouted a fourth.
At that moment the man came
around the corner, smiling with do
light and both hands ready for shak
ing, and us he halted he said:
"Well, boys, I got there."
"You bet you didl" shouted the four
in chorus,
"And I want you to drink with me."
"You bet we will I Hurrah for
you 1"

Advantage of Smokeless Powder.
The fatal power of the acw weapon
of the French army lies principally in
the smokeless powder used. The army
provided with it can conceal rom the
enemy the presence pf both its, artil

battalions may hear the thunder of the
guns, but they cannot discover the
situation of the marksmen nor the ob

Getting It Down Fine.
A curious paper by an Epgjsl pr
gainst on "Melody in SpeeclP' asserts
that a cow moos in a perfect fifth and
octave or tenth; a dog barks in a fifth
or fourth ; a donkey brays in a perfect
octave; a horse neighs in a descent on
the chromatic scale. Each ersou has
his fundamental key, in which be gen

one ilavio. and the t'l'uiucnt lias been
ur.ed by some that the spring broke out
oil account of the rain; but that is nKsurd
for ne vera I reasons. In the first place I
know that Ander-jon-i!!:1 p'"i'-c: v.:
underlaid with 8 l, .a depth of at
lea--.t T)(J feet (as I have heled to dig a
well to that depth near the t pring), and
it would Ihj impossible for tho rail. water
of June to delay jts action in that bank
of pure Band until Aug. 13. Secondly,
there has certainly been some dry
weather since that spring broke out, and
if It had only been supplied by seepage
water from rains it would fail to flow in
dry weather, which has certainly never
been the case, as auy of tho citizens will
tell you who live in that vicinity.
"Others have claimed that 'Providence
Spring was supplied by a branoh of the
run that went through the camp, tracing
its way through tho sand to the point at
which it broke out, but such is not the
case, for the spring at that time flowed
from the side of North hill at least eight
foot higher than the level of the water
in the run. It is not so today, because it
has, by the action of its water on the
sand, washed a gully or ravine to a
depth of about eight feet, and is conse
quently at present on or nearer the level
with the water in the run. Now when
the prisoners of war confined in Ander
sonville orison pen were suffering yes,
dying for want of pure water (for there
was the excrement and filth from the
Confederate camp of two regiments
washed into the run that furnished
the only water we could get until
Aug. 13, 1864), 'Providence Spring
broke forth from a side hill that had
given no such indications, at least since
March 1, 1864, at which time it had been
first occupied as a camp, and if it had
ever run or flowed previous to that time
it certainly would have been as natural
for it to wash out the eight foot gully or
ravine at that time us it has done since.
As soon as daylight came and the spring
was discovered (first it broke out in the
night) there was quite an excitement
among the prisoners in its immediate
vicinity; in fact, it almost turned into n
crazy pAQh to securo some of the cooling
beverage until the prison police took pos
session of tho spring, after which time
each man had to fall into line down the
lull and take his turn to get his cup ov
pail filled with the water. Some few of
the citizens who live near Andersonville
claim that there had been a spring there
years before Jheir time, and wjien ques
tioned about fne matter they admitted
(at least to me) that they personally knew
nothing about it, but had heard so and
so from somebody else. Of course the
washing out that the spring has done
6ince we first discovered it is sullicient
argument to show positively that their
talk is without any foundation for truth
whatever, and are only (in my opinion)
trying to obliterate flip providence of
Almighty God.
