I. Stevenson's office, andgavehiH jiame as Hob Donovan. The man had been about town all day, but lid not attract any particular atten tion. Uut after a short conversation Slo.-m. who met him at Stevenson's office came to the con clusion that he was a lunatic. lie at once summoned Deputy Sheriff Webber, and began a general exam ination of the stranger. He said at length that lie had runaway from the assy lu in at Lincoln this jnorning and was trying to get to Plattsuioutli. It was further learned that he had been a railroad engineer in his time.

Nebraska City Tress. Nehawka News Notes. March is variable, and citizensall agree lliat last Saturday, so far as the weather was concerned, was a bad day. With lightning, rain, Snow and driving winds, indoors was decidedly a pleasa.iter place than out. Spring is, in some respects, back ward. Little or no seeding has been done yet and the farmers are getting impatient and anxious to get their wheat sowed. Winter wheat has come through -ill right and has started to grow. Among the lale improvements of our town is a plank walk completed from the bank corner up to the Methodist church, which is duly appreciated by all those who walk in that direction. Henry Lopp is building a new barber shop, the frame of which is now up. Frank Moore has the foundation dug for a house he is building to rent to John Fa 11 is. The United Brethren are building a parsonage, which is now ready for plastering. The new minister i9 expected daily. 4 Charley Haight'e blacksmith shop was entered a few nights ago and tools to the amount of $50 stolen o clue to the thief. This point is becoming some thing of a wood market Ti tuber is tint ronsidered so valuable as it once was. As a result farmers are Mitiinrr it down, and we see 'it stacked around and corded up in long and lofty piles, ready for use at home or shipment. Daseball players are becoming restive. The "Bankers" won fame on this line last summer. This season they will organize a brass band and probably a dramatic troupe. It is believed there 'is talent here which favorable condi tions and culture might perfect. But with this, as in other instances in this world, alas! how often "Full many a rose is bora to blush unseen. And waste its fragrance on the desert air." - Junius. Putting on Fast Trains. The Burlington is preparing to put on fast trains beiween Chicago, Omaha and Denver that will make a stir among the railroads. The train which now leaves Chicago at 10:30 p. in. and Omaha the following evening at 7:10 will be expedited. Under the new schedule it will leave this ciiy about 4:30 p. m. and reach Denver at 7 in the morning. It will then be the fastest train be tween Omaha and Denver by more than two hours. It will carry the fast mail and a dining car. This train will be of especial ben efit to many interior points in Nebraska because of improved con nections. It will -reach Lincoln about 6 o'clock and the train for Grand Is'and will leave that point about 5:15 instead of 8:50. This branch train may also be extended to Ravenna, Grand Islaad. Kearney, Central City and intermediate points will be reached at a season able hour in the evening. The return-train will leave Denver at 9 a. ,u.t frQ through Omaha about mid night and reach Chicago at 2 p. m. This will require but one night on the road and will reach Cnicagoi in time to connect with the fast trains east. This will be twelve hours sho-ter than the time of the .corresponding train now running Among other Burlington chang es will be one by which the sleep ing car service between Omaha will 1e extended to Chicago. These .chiingcs will be made during the coming month. Omaha Bee. Why will you cough when Shi toll's cure will give immediate re- ... -;V.J jrt s. 5DXt ?.3-'i d $ PERSONAL.

Poisall has a foic; of men at work to-day putting in a sewer pipe across Chi cago avenue opposite the base ball part. Sixth street, between Pearl and Vine, is in such a condition that a light bu;gy cannot go t .ough without getting stuck in the mud or breaking down. Isn't it very near time some steps were taken to remedy it. O. A. Brown left on the K. C. for Pacific Junction this morning. The firm of Br own & Barrett are sell sag a large amount of wallpnper to the citizens of Pac'fic Junction and Mr. Brown went over this morning to take another bigorder.

What a Night' com pany closed a four nights' engage meut in Omaha last night to im mense houses and will appear at the Waterman to-night inoaeof the best comedj' plays ever seen in Plaitsmoulh, with the famous German dialect comedian, Charles A. Loder, in the title role. Give them a packed house to-night, for they are worthy of it. C. W. Holmes broke a single tree on his hack in the mud in front of the postoffice last night and was forced to leave it there over night. This morning when he went to get it he found that some scoundrel had waded out through the mud to where the hacic was standing, went on the inside of the hack and deliberately cut the up bolstering all to peices and scat tered 'it all over the floor, of the hack. Walt promises to make it hot for the guilty one if he can be detected. . The second entertainment of the Y. M C. A., Star course, given last night at Black's opera house, was furnished by that superior musical organization, the New York Sym phony Club, which is delighting large audiences all over the country. The house was packed, and if de corum had permitted the audience would probably have howled with delight at the splendid programme furnished. In some instances the encores ran up as high as eight, and would not have stopped then btxt for the protestations of the performers It is very rarely that such an accur rence is witnessed. No Y. M. C. A. entertainment has ever been given here that gave better satisfaction. Springfield Daily Democrat.

Demark has made a world's fair appropriation of $67,000. A continuous clam bake will be one of the attractions which epicu rean visitors will find at the expo sitiou.

Cm of the Telephone In Surgery. A remarkable application has been made by Dr. J. Mount Bleyer. In a case of membranous croup intubation was successfully resorted to. When the re moval of the tube became necessary it had disappeared. Tracheotomy would evidently have to be performed, but the difficulty was to locate the tube. A del icate metallic probe attached to an elec tric wire, the other end of which termi nated in a telephone receiver, was passed down through the larynx. As soon as it came in contact with the tube a distinct click was communicated to the ear through the receiver. The exact loca tion having thus been determined, trache otomy was performed and the tube ex tracted. New York Telegram. English Oaks.

Geneva (Switzerland) Tribune. Doctors Writing Very Ancient. Many of the chemical signs are de rived from the alchemists, and are also to be found in works on magic.
