CITY CORDIALS.
Mr. Miller will tonight sine an old
and and favorite song as a aolo at the
church, entitled "The Ninety and Nine."
Judge Sullivan remarked this morn
ing, after a labored effort before the
court, that "The court ia the hardest man
I aver tried to argue a case with."
Some of the small boys are trying to
imitate "sugar making" in the east, and
many a choice shade tree is called upon
to drain its sap into a tiii can through an
elderberry trough.
The afternoon meetings of this week
at the Methodist chu.ch are looked to
with much interest by those who can
attend. Yesterday a good attendance
was had. Today was a special day for
old people.
A rather hard signal to translate
was swung out by the weather flags tts
morning. It was a cold wave flag under
the rising temperature flag a cold wave
with rising temperature but probably
-ment the temperature would rise, fol
lowed by a cold wave.
The project which has betD of con
siderable comment in the pant the city
hall is one that, if it were determined
tod "so, could be pushed to a successful
climax. Public improvement ought not
to stop, and this being a needful building
its supporters will, it is hoped, carry the
mitter through.
A large attendance was again present
at the M. E. church last night to hear
Evangelist Miller. For a lesson the 3rd
chapter of Paul's second epistle to Peter
was read. The evangelist then sang a
aolo entitled "Are you one of the Ninety
and Nine," after which a talk was made
on the subject of "Ashamed." Mr. Mil
ler sang another aolo entitled "Beautiful,
Beckoning Hands." AJ the invitation,
many gathered at the mourners' bench
and accepted the Savior.
A roan from Weeping Water, who
once aspired to hold a county office, was
in the court room yesterday. Evidently
the longings for the office were still dear
to him, for, seeing the chair he wished to
occupy, vacant, he filled it with himself
and assumed a very independent and
important position and for a while de
lighted in reflection of "what might have
been."
The Sons of Veterans have decided
to prepare and execute a literary program
at their next meeting, next Tuesday even
ing. Gay Livingston was appointed a
co.nmittee on music, B. A. McElwain
committee on speaking and Mr. Roberts
committee on general arrangements. If
this entertainment is successful, and it
surely will be, it is planned by the boys
to have some such program every few
weeks.
In the recent fire at "Wabash, thi
connty, the town plat was destroyed, anr
a new one has been sent to the count'
officers for. Mr. Oliver Jacobs, who wri
the heaviest looser, says his stock wh
value at $0,000 with an insurance of
$5,000. He intends to pen with a freslt
stock of goods immediately in the store
-buildidgof II. J. Straight, and wil
build again ss soon at possible. At
meeting of the News publishing com
pany it was decided to continue the pub
lication ot the Wabash News. Mr
Jacobs' acccounts ana books are in hi
safe, and he thinks they were not harmed
though the safe has not yet been opened
The safe was not blown open by burglars,
as was supposed.
The concert given at the opera house
last night in honor of Mr. Derrick re
dounds enviable credit to that gentle
man, as it exhibited good taste and ability
in eveiy respect. He met with obstach
on every band while preparing th
programme, as many who had consents
to assist, failed to come to the front, and
bad the programme not been as lengthy
he would surely have been left in th
lurch. Sickness was the cause of th
non-appearance of several. However,
the programme was sufficiently long, anr
the - expressions today regarding tin
entertainment are the most favorable
The Glee Club, which has invariably been
well received on all occasions, wen
greeted with rousing applause last night
Mr. Dunn,' of Omaha, who possesses a
rare barotone yoice, assisted the club,an.
added much music to the other musira
voices. The piano solos and duets b
Misses Neville and Simpson, and Mi
Martin and 3Irs. Kempstcr, were raptur
ously applauded. The singing 'win
exceptional, and the selections given by
Mr. Pratt, were evidently much appre
ciated, as a little humorism combined,
made them very amusing. The farce
which concluded the entertainment, w
an effort of some members of the Dram
atic club. The play lasted about thirtx
minutes, an 1 afforded much amusement
Had it not been for the other attractions
there would doubtless have been a mucl
better attendance. The receip's aggre
gated about $G0. Mr. Derrick desire?
the Herald to thank his numerou
friends who so kindly assisted him fh hi
farewell concert lie will go to Omahs
next week.
TRAPPED AT HIS TRICKS.
Sheriff Elkenbary Schemed a Plan
That Worked ori Forger
McCan Like a Charm.
A $600 Forgery.
On March 7, Frank McCan, alias Fred
George, who has been in the employ of
Coon Vallcry, near Eight Mile Grove,
entered the First National bank of this
city and presented a note for $000 for
tale, payable to him, and bearing the
forged signatures of C. It. Vallery and
Joshua Murray. The names were good
for the amount at the bank and the for
gery complete so that Cashier Waugh
purchased the note for $.r60, giving a
draft for $500 and $t0 in cash. McCan
left the city and went to Kansas City.
There he placed the draft in the bank
for collection and it was returned to the
First National here. Mr. Waugh sus
picioued the note, and held the payment
of the draft till Monday, when Mr. Val
lory was in and pronouueed it a forgery,
Mr. Waugh telegraphed to the bank at
Kansas City to watch for the man and
Deputy Sheriff Miller left in persuit of
McCan. He is described as being 5 feet
yr 10 inches high, weight about 100
pounds, Ught coiuplcj.on, blue eyes,
sandy mustache, brown hair, little Laid
in front of head, two false teeth in upper
jaw; wore dude cap, dark sack coat,
brown pants and congress gaj tor shoes;
is a little stoop shoulder with a pacing
walk.
When Sheriff Eikenbary learned of
the passing of the forged note at the
bank in this city he bad no idea what had
become of the man, but from his long ex
perienceand observation with such fel
lows he knew how to track him. Going
to Ticket Agent Latham at the depot he
learned that McCan had purchased
ticket to Erie Kansas (a town of about
1.3O0) but the return of the draft from
Kansas City gave a key to McCaa's plans
which the Sheriff figured out like this
McCan purchased a ticket to Erie, Kas.,
lor a blind, intending to go to Kansas
City, Mo., but led the officers, on dis
coverv. to search for hiin at Erie. Not
being smart enough to have the draft
cashed at Kansas City (or not being able
to have himself jdeutitied) he placed it
in a bank for collect'en, iniend;ng to lay
iround and wait for the money to come
Satisfying hitutrjf that this was McCan's
icheme, Sheriff Eikenbary sent Deputy
Miller to Kansas City to "lay for him"
with instructions iogo to the bank, make
iiis business known and wait for his man
After waiting yesterday, Deputy Mil
ler evidently concluded bis man was not
.joing to show up, for at 10 o'clock thss
morning he telegraphed that he would
ieave on this evening's traio, Ja two
hours biter another telegram came say
ing "I have him, will be borne on No. 6
tomorrow 6Vf.oj.nf."

Died; At Lincoln, Neb., Fb. 20. 1889 of
pnrumonia, Harry, only son of Kufus
and E. M. J. Cooley,
Just at the threshold of Manhood
ype of all that was- good and noble;
.rifted with more than ordinary powers
of mind, rilled with an ambition and

During his last hours he called his
mother to his bedside, reminded her of

Thus calmly he yielded up his life to

God's right hand.
Whereas, Sister Gcoley having served

Walter Emerson, as usual, delighted all;
no other person in this country can excel
him on the cornet. Rudolf King ren
dered two solos as well as could be ex
pected on an upright piano, and admir
ably assisted as the accompanist. All
