EAGLE AGAIN VISITED BY BURGLARS.
The
Village of Eagle Visited by
Night Marauders.
Merchandise Store of.Beaehl Vennner
Borglarized and Goods to a Consider
able Amount .Taken No Clue to the
Thieves As Vet Obtained Other Mews
Motes Around Town.
Eagle, Neb., March 11. Special
to The News. The village of Eagle
feels lonesome if it does not have no
up-to-date safe-blowing or burglariz
ing act every other week. Eirly this
morning burglars affected an entrance
to the general etore of Beach & Ven
ner by removing the glass from one
of their front show-windows and made
away with about $o0 worth of pants,
men's shoes and gloves. There is but
slight clue to the perpetrators, al
though officers have been put to woi k
upon the case.
Sunday mornijg about 9 o'clock the
two 6tory building on upper Main
street occupied by Dr. McCandless i s
an office wasdiscovered in flames. The
fire department soon had two lines of
hose stretched ana steady streams of
water at work on the flames. Al
though many predicted the building
was doomed, it required but. a short
time to get the fire under control.
As this was the first opportunity for
the fire department to show its mettle,
the citizens are highly pleased by the
work.
. The Audience Was Well I'leased.
a large and appreciative audience
was present last evening to listen to
Mrs. Keysor's lecture, "Christ Child
on Art," and enjoy the stereopticon
views.
The exercises were opened by no
organ solo by Miss Kessler, played
with her usual delicacy and precision
of touch. Then followed a trio,
"When the Tide Comas In," beauti
fully rendered. The last number on
the musical program was an exquisite
lullaby solo, sung by Miss Street in
her usual faultless style. .
Mrs. Keysor'a "Art Talk'- was
thoroughly enjoyed and the beautiful
copies of the old and new masters
brought out by tne stereoscope, was
a revelation of hitrh art that we do
not often have the privilege of enjoy
ing. The art department of the
woman's club deserve great credit in
securing Mrs. Keysor.
PERRINE IS GIVEN HIS LIBERTY
Ianocent Man Does Six Months' Time In
the Penitentiary.
Wednesday afternoon Governor Hoi
comb commuted the sentence of young
Hale Perrine and he was released
from the penitentiary. This is the
young man spoken of in The News
a few days ago when Attorney H
Koster of Niobrara was in the city in
the young man's interest. Perrine
was sentenced by Judge Ramsey last
August for helping a man named Sul
livan rob a 6tore at Louisville. He
is a young man of good family and was
the victim of bad companions. Per
rine nas always protested his in
nocence and the governor was in
duced to exercise his clemency by
reason, chiefly, of 'a long affidavit
made by Sullivan in which he swears
Perrine was entirely innocent and that
he simply used him as a tool after
the robbery had been committed. The
mother of the unfortunate young man
is lying dangerously ill at her home
at Niobrara and his own health has
been seriously impaired.
An I'nfortunate Accident.
The injury which little Pauline,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Grif
fith of Omaha, sustained to one of her
eyes a few weeks ago, was thought to
be recovering, much to the relief of
her parents and friends, but word was
received by relatives in Plattsmouth
today stating that it was found neoes
sary to remove tne injured eye as it
was not healing properly, and that the
operation was 6uccessf Jlly performed
Wednesday afternoon.

PAPA HAD A PLAN.
And It Kept Willy From Calling on Misn
Maud so Much
It is stated that a few loving parents
out in east Lit. coin or other portions
of the city are going to adopt the
scheme devised by a Detroit, Mich.,
father. The Fiee Press, tells the
plan as follows:
The object of his affections lives
way out in the suburbs, but true love
laughs at distance as it does to a good

classed among the stern parents, as
they ate viewed from the stand ooint
of youth, and peremptorily called a
halt.
"See, here," he began after corner

Levi Kimball, William Ilogebocm
or Mr. Hood, the 13. 5c M. agent at
Li Plalle. The two former jjentle
men accompanied mo while I wis
seining, and kiiow that I not only did
not seine in tho slough you have re
ference to but that I did no ireining
within a mile of it. I also reported
that I had secured 2,000 ti.-h and you
make the number, either p irposelj- or
erroneously. S, 000 lis h. (The latter was
a typographical error. KJ.)
In your statements you would alto
have the public bcleves there, is no
shallow ponds in tho vicinity of La
Platte, when, as a matter of fact, it is
well known to every citizen of that
town or even school boy that thousands
of fish perish every summer in the
shallow ponds about one mile below
the main slouch. The only reason
this condition of things did not hap
pen the past summer was because tho
water was up but a short lime. I
Know it has been claimed that the
crew in charge of the car some
years ago seined the main slough,
but I was not in charge of
tho work at the time and
should not bo culled to account
for the iictions of other persons dur
ing the year ISOti. I have not made a
practice of despoiling the fishing re
sorts of one part of the state for the
benefit of another, and if you will in
vestigate the matter you will find
that your charge, as far as I am con
cerned, is groundless and an injustice
to me. Yours truly,
