Dr. Jicknun Found.
The readers of the News will re
member that lust April a woman re
presenting: herself as the wife of D -.
Jackson and said she lived near Paci
fic Junction, was in town looking for
her hufban-J. Well, the sequel of the
story comes from Omaha and is aa
foil'iwt-: Mrs. Jackson relites that
last April her husband sold his farm
for l,ii0. Within a short time af
terwards ho departed for a short drive
on me business with his farm waron
and a lew implements. Lie went to
ward the Missouri river and the next
d ty the team and clothing, reoognized
as the doctor's, were found on the
river bank. No trace was discovered
of their owner, and the woman
naturally mourned him as dead. As
a consequence of not being able to
loctte the money which tb.3 farm
hrnueht, she has hud an exceedingly
dillicult time to support herself and
chi d.
Lately she has heard rumors that
her husband had been soon in Omaha
and he c;ime yesterday in the hope of
fiiiriii him. The- only rWw in her
prH-ts-iinn was the letter head of a
hmel near the depot, the back of
which lu-r liu-ht!id hud or.ce used
wh.Mi writing her from Denver. To
gether with Officer IlofT she visited
lhi hut 1 a id found that her husband
h d indeed hot:: there. A iorter was
found wh said that he had carried
the mau's baggage to a "very indiffer
ent lodging hou-e ne;ir Eleventh and
Masoa-street". It was one rnrvlr fre
quented by others than co.orcd peo
ple jind is otherwise a cheerless and
forbidding: place.
The man was there, however, and
not in a socially prosperois condi
tion. S. little so, in fact, that he was
gl.id to give up all attempts to liecome
a e lemoiMililH mid was relieved at be-
inirable to return onco more to bis
count-y connections. Mrs. Jackson
had Wome lainfuly nwj-re by this
time, of course, that her husbirid had
done serious thiners that, he should
not have done. She feared, too, Tom
little things thnt for a while there
hail loeii another woman in the case.
In rpito of it ail. however, her he trt
was not equ il to the task of abandon
ing him and she forgave bin; frei- and

remnant of the thous-md in his pocket,

Mother' MMttng.
Yesterday afternoon at the charm
ing homo of Mrs. Wescott, a mother's
meeting look place. The comfortably
..I,,,-.! nnd irnnninn'i' interested
II L I V ' I 1 ' ' ' " " , j
faces of the women present attested to
the interest felt in the theme for the
afternoon viz: "The Influence of
Mothers." Mrs Winslow, superin
tendent of the department, presided
aid was a charming example of the
motherhood of which the ladies had
mot to consider.
Extracts from Willard Hall Echoes,
were read and commented upon. A
touching solo, entitled "Beckoning
Hands," wts most feelingly rendered
by Mrs. James Herold.
The largo number present ld one
to expect that a rare treat was to be
enjoyed, nor was that expectation
void when Mrs. Stouten borough was
called to the floor and read a carefully
propared paper on the afternoon's
theme. Mrs. Stoutenborough paid a
most beautiful tribute to the memory
of the mothers who have "gone
hence," and impressed most strongly
on her hearers the value of tho daily
inlluence in tho home.
At tho conclusion of the paper, a
few remarks from some of the mem
bers. the ladies were asked to tarry.
while a social cup of tea with wafers
and cake was served hy tho ladies of
tho department. The afternoon was
a thoroughly en joy able one, and those
of us who went as guests, returned
home with tho full determination to
go in tho future as members.

A little outcabt kitten which found
its way into the Boston post office
four years ago has become one of the
notable cats of the city. She is per
fectly familiar with the government
building, and makes her daily lours
about it, but always by means of tho
elevators. She seems to know the
rank of every official, and conducts
herself with corresponding dignity
Other cats she Ignores, and she is a
terror to dogs, of which she has never
shown the slightest fear. It is quite
a sight to watch this high-toned puss
enter tho postmaster's office and seat
herself aa if she was one of the con
sulting authorities of the place.

How I Thl. . V
A banker sauntering home for his
dinner saw a $10 bill lyintr on the
curb stone. Of course he picked it up
and took the number in order to fiud
the owner. While at home, his wife
remarked that the butcher had sent
in a bill for meat amounting to $10.
The only money he hid with him was
tho bill he had found, which he cave
to her and ahe paid tho butcher. The
butcher paid it to tLe farmer for a
calf, and the farmer paid it to the
merchant, who in turn paid it to the
washerwoman; and she owing the
banker a note of $10, went to the
b inker and paid the note. The
banker recognized the bill as the
one he had found, and which, unto
date had settled $50 of debt. On a
more careful examination he found
the bill was counterfeit Now, will

the skin it is GOOD. Moth eaten or worn spots can be taken out
without even showing a seam
The only question is what can bo done with it. Its out of style
and worn. Maybe it needs new lining, or should be stylishly
trimmed. Tho old coat would make a beautiful full sweep cape,
and capes are just the thing this season. There's that old fur gar
ment you haven't worn for years, because it is all "fagged out."
Why, that will make a beautiful collarette; just the thing for fall
and spring wear. Then just look at that garment. It is entirely
"gone up." The hair stands the wrong way on it and it is worn
and matted. "Its no earthly use." 'Well, it does look bad, but by
