Lew Moore went to Omaha this

lot of the finest roses to be found in

Oscar Steele, the H. & M. agent at
Ashland, and formerly of Louis
ville, was severely injured yester
day afternoon hy being knocked
from the top of a moving freight
train. He was dragged about thirty
feet between two cars, having been
fortunate enough to catch a rod as
he fell. Dr. Mansfield attended him
and found the greatest injury to be
a deep cut in the neck, which
lacked but a little of proving fatal.
If was a remarkably close call.
One of Klam Parmeles men
furnished amusement for quite a
crowd yesterday at the corner of
Seventh and Main streets, though it
was evidently anything else but
funny for him. He was driving a
horse attached to a road cart when
the
horse suddenly became irac-
tious
and went to kicking, and the
way the driver dodged his heels for
a while was a caution. Hut soon
the horse fell down, when thedriver
in his excitement tumbled over on
top of him and rolled over into the
street. On taking an inventory, the
driver found he hadn't received a
scratch, and as the horse and cart
were all right he drove on. but he
didn't try to ride.
It, lies F rom Chun County?
All attempt was made yesterday
to rob a bank at Valparaiso by three
men, which failed, owing to Ihe vig
ilance of .Mr. Chamberlain, the
cashier, and Mr. k K. Johnson, who
had an oliiee in the banking room.
Three men drove up about in
the afternoon, hitched their team
behind the bank and went in. Mr.
Johnson's suspicions were aroused
at once by the appearance and ac
tions of the men, one of whom en
gaged Mr. Chamberlain's attention
while another commenced to speak
to Mr. Johnson, the third, who car
ried a grain sack under his arm,
standing between the others.
Mr. Johnson saw this third one
give a signal to the one nearest to
him, who immediately drew a re
volver, but Mr. Johnaon sprang to
one side ami closed a door opening
behind the counter, and then ran
back to a cash drawer, which he
had taken the precaution to open
while talking to the man, ami pulled
out a revolver. He snapped the
weapon several times at the man
with a revolver and received one
shot in return. Had the bullet been
half an inch closer it would have
killed Mr. Johnson, but as it was it
plowed a furrow across the back of
his neck.
Meanwhile the one who was talk
ing to Mr. Chamberlain at the sig
nal covered the cashier with a re
volver and he dodged under the
counter. Crawling several steps to
one side he grabbed his revolver,
but by this time the scoundrels,
finding it was to be too hot for
them, had skipped.
Two of the men ran around the
corner to where their team was
hitched, jumped in and drove off to
the northeast, leaving the third
man behind. The latter seemed to
have been bewildered and ran away
from the team.
The would be robber rushed into
a bend in the creek where he was
captured by his excited pursuers,
but not until he was covered by re
volvers. He was soon safely lodged
in jail.
Receipts given b' firms at Kagle
to Jesse Kudy were found in the
captured man's pockets, and he ac
knowledges that that is his name,
and says he lives between Green
wood and Kagle in Cass county, and
that he had never been in such
work before. II is hands show signs
of hard work.
The men who escaped were driv
ing one gray and one bay horse
hitched to a covered buggy with
side curtains.
There can be no doubt but what
this is the outfit ihat has been com
mitting so many thefts in and
:itu.ut Kairle latelv. it will cer
tainly be a relief to that part of the
county to know that even one of
the villains has been apprehended.
Tne Retiring Members.
The retiring councilmen Messrs.
McCallan. IJreckenfeld. Hempleand
Ilager have been excellent mem
bers whose places will be hard to
fill. "
McCallan has been a watchdog
of the treasury, and by his constant
and careful watching of every ex
penditure, he has saved thousands
of dollars to the tax payers of this
city.
Mr. IJreckenfeld has made an ex
cellent member of more than ordi
nary executive ability; he has
always been watchful of the best
interests of the city, and we but
voice the sentiments of his ward
when we say the old First never
had to criticise the actions of Mr.
IJreckenfeld except to commend
them.
Mr. Hemple was rather timid at
first, but long before his term
closed he was recognized as one of
the best and most aggressive mem
bers of the council; he was always
conscientious in what he did, and
no malodorous schemes can in any
way be charged up against him.
Hager is always the same care
ful, painstaking business man;
everything that was referred to him
received the full attention which
its importance merited, and was
never delayed. Mr. Hager's pres
ence in the council will be percep
tibly felt by the old members, who
from experience knew his influence
and worth.
Pat McCallan wants a city park
and advocates the fencing and im
proving of the old court house
square. THE HERALD heartil3"
secoiuls Mr. McCallan's motion;
there should by all means be some
thing done to improve this proper
ty and make it a pleasant place to
walk for our people. It could be
done at but slight expense.

Council Meeting. .
The city council met in regular
Hessi.m last evening, all members
being present.
It was recommended by Dr. Hall,
chairman of the board of health,
that sewer connection be made to
drain the stagnant water off of
blocks :U and Ma, and that a bridge
be built over the H. & M. tracks near
the mouth of Happy Hollow, where
by teams might be crossed to safe
dumping grounds in the current of
the river.
Dr. Hall's recommendation was
referred to the board of public
works.
The saloon license petitions were
read and laid over.
W. C. Willetts put in a claim for
$ 1,(XKJ. as damages for the closing of
the street across the M. I. grounds.

Hill. Referred to committee on

On request of the maj or the city
attorney made an extendi d report
as to the condition of the title to
the propertj- proposed to be pur
chased for the extention of South
Sixth street, showing quite a lot of
taxes against the property, but
otherwise the title was pronounced
good.
Mr. Hrown, chairman of the fire
and water committee, explained
about the muddy water and thought
there would be no more of it.
The report of the city attorney
was then read, which showed quite
a number of cases disposed of dur
ing the year, in everyone of which
the city was victorious; certainly a
very creditable showing, and one
that the tax payers will appreciate.
It having dawned on the city
guardians that the old council was
about to expire, a motion was
promptly put ami carried unani
mously, ordering the clerk to draw
warrants for salary of mayor, coun
cilmen and clerk.
The bomts of the new members
were then approved, and Messrs.
Dove, Minor, Peterson, Murphy, I).
M. and W. D. Jones were sworn into
support the constitution and faith
fully discharge the duties of coun
cilmen of this city for the next two

The petition of Geo. Nickol to be
allowed to remove his saloon three
doors west into the Cap. Palmer
building was granted, after which
the council adjourned to meet to
night. Settlement Notice.
All parties indebted to the firm
of Wildnian & Fuller are requested
to call at once and settle.

Baby is Sick. The woefull expres
sion of a Des Moines teamster's
countenance showed his deep anx
iety was not entirely without cause,
when he inquired of a druggist of
the same city what was the best
to give to a bab3" for a cold? It
was not necessar3' for him to sa3'
more, his countenance showed that
the pet of the famil3-, if not the idol
of his life was in distress. "We give
our baby Chamberlains's Cough
Remed3-," was the druggists answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such
strong medicine," said the teamster.
"You' know John Oleson, of the
Watters-Talbot Printing Co., don't
you? Inquired the druggist. His
bab-. when eighteen months old,
got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain
Couyh Remed3" and drank the whole
of it." Of course it the baby vomit
very freely but did not hurt it the
least.and what is more it cured tha
baby's cold. The teamster already
knew the value of the Remed3", hav
ing used it himself, and was now sat
istted that there w as no danger in
o-iving it even to a bab3". For Sale
