Slugged Mitt Mind. Ilui ke Moore, a usu-illy steady farm hand in the employ of Henry Kikeu bary, came to town Saturday evening with some" money in his pocket and a . desire in his head to see the elephant which was supposed to roost in or about this city. He traded coin for ; liquid refreshments until tho side walks looked to him like a merry-go- round coins at a 2:10 trait. To make a long story short, tho police found him at a late hour in the night, lying in an alley with a badly bruised face. The fellow was braced up and taken to tho "cooler," where he told a fairy story to tho officers about being slugged and robbed. An investigation was made at once, but it was very soon learned that he had spent all his money and the only slugging in evi dence was a "slug" of whisky which Moore had been imbibing from too freely. Mr. .Mooro returned to his work today, it is presumed, a much wiser man for having seen tho menagerie, and he will probably be satisfied for a while to attend strictly to business and leave I'lattsmouth alone. lladlj In ed of Ket.

The nominee was so tired that it was after noon when he arose. Early in the afternoon Senator Jones, chair man of the national committee, Arthur Sewall, tho vice-presidentiarnominee and another Mr. Jones who was chair man of tho last democratic state con vention in Arkansas, called at the spacious irame cottage to pay tneir respects, and politics were not dis- cussea.

Mr. Colo asked Martin what ho proosed to call the , new town and Martin said he thought he would name it Douglas, that ho really favored Nebraska City but the fellows down below at Fort Kearney had pot ahead of hin on that. Mr. Colo suggested l'latto Citv as the right name but Marten did not liko the word city, and Platte vil I was suircrested. but Martin was not especially pleased with that. Finally Mr. Coio said "Piatt mouth" -vould be a good name and the subject was dropped. A few weeks later he read an advertisement of a big sale of lots that was to bo make at the new town of Plattsmo'lth and ho feels that ho is entitled to the honor of having given tho city its name. l-ath of Mrs. ItaU-H.

The exact words in tho passage referred to are, "And tho key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder. " This enormous key to the lock from Nineveh is nearly 34 fee n h'hgth and of the thickness of a four inch drain tile. It was found at the end of a ruin ed chamber, whero a large wooden door had probably once stood, the gigantic brass hinges and heavy bars being still in fair condition, though somewhat cor roded. This relic of the olden times has but few points of resemblance to the keys of modern manufactnre, or even to those of the early part of the Christian era. The tubular idea had never been thought out in those days, but the key is fearfully and wonderfully made, be ing equally as intricate a piece cf ma chinery as tho lock in which it was used. A great many of the bars and pegs in the lock are believed to have been made of wood, as their places are now empty. The notches and pegs in tho key, however, show that there were corresponding jx-gs and bars in the lock at one time. The great lateral iron bars at the end of tho key, with their com plicated series of notches, crossbars, bumps, etc., are proof that the lock was once similarly provided. This being the cast;, it is reasonable to suppose that at one time the door to that palace could not have lxen opened until the key had been inserted and tho impediment to the drawing biick of the bolt removed by raising up so many Intra and pins which had fallen down into their places upon the key having leeii withdrawn. Similar locks and keys were in use in Egypt 5,000 years ago. St. Louis He public. THERE WERE FISH.

The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. W. Fitt of ihis city was oi the ill iat'd excursion train Saturday which collided with a freight near Logan, Jow:, where so many were killed. She was forluii:itu enough in being in one of the rear coaches and escaped any injury. Her parents did not hear of the aceident until they saw an account of it in Sunday morning's papers, and their anxiety at that timw can better be imagined than described. Mr. Fitt quickly telephoned Umaha and was gratified to learn that his daughter was not among the injured. A Little Hoy Loxt. Mrs. Pine of Pacific Junction was in town yesterday with her children visit ing at J. L.

The frightened mother and a 1-irge party of sympathetic friends scoured the hills until after 4 o'clock when the little fellow was found up back of the fland pipe in weeds as high as his head.

As a poli tical organization its days aro now nunibe: ed, and alter tho St Louis convention we will have the samo old fight squarely between the republican and democratic organisations. The populist parly will have passed off the 6tage of action and its members will join the democratic party, except a small per cent, who may ally them themselves with the republicans. partly from principle and partly out of sheer disgust at the bargain and sale of the organization which they loved and revered. The democrats are joined by a cla'is of men who had seeken refuge within the ranks of populism, but whose inclinations at heart have been with their former allegiance democ racy. Tho passing of tho people's party will bo hailed with delight by the democratic hosts who have con nived no adroitly for its downfall that they might bo the beneliciaries, but this will set thousands of the ran k and file to think wliere they are drifting and the result will bo a revolution of the ioiuli-5ts, who will cast Votes enoughtodefe.it the machinations of Mr. Bryan, tho man above all others who has sounded the douth knell of tho people's paity in the United States. t Ire Cream l'arlor.

"Washington Star. An interesting distinction, though not generally understood, is made in the qualities of asttestus by those who are engaged in the industrial handling of that article. Though, broadly speaking, this substance is a silicate of magnesia, in some cases lime displaces the mag nesia base. Iu rare cases alumina takes the place of magnesia, and what is called blue asbestus is a silicate of iron, iron in this case displacing the magnesia. This blue aslx stus or fibrous silicate of iron possesses many times the strength of true asliestus, a thread of it only one twenty-fifth of an inch in diameter car rying 1 00 jKinnds, but by reason of its containing from 30 to 40 per cent of protoxide cf iron it is neither fiie nor acid proof, nor is it a gKd nonconductor of heat; hriico dues not possess the val uable projMTties of true asbestus. Silica and water are the only two elements that an always constant in asbestus, the silica ranly falling below 40 parts to the 100, while in some of the an hydrous viaietics the water falls as low as 2 or 3 jiarts to the 100.
