ON THIS t'OUTV-MlLK KlVEIl.
TUIUTV ElOIIT JuILKS tu n Ft
Cudaiiy. N. VV. T. , Nov. Id. M
Dear Folks: Tomorrow my nearest
neighbor is going to Dawson City, aud
hs nindly consented to take some
in iil for mi1. This is the first chance
I have had to solid a letter to you in
some time, and I cannot tell junt when
you will iiul i his perhaps about Jan
uiirv c r Februny of next year. We
are living ln;re on tlio river and doini;
a little mining, but so far have not
struck it lieu, enough to claim a oi -
turn , alliiough my pronpeets are very
good indeed, and maybe I can leave
here next f ill with enough to Keep me
for it whiio. I have several .-oud
claims and am going to hold these at
a good priee, and the etiuneea are this
plaiowill boom in the opi ing. If it
does I am well fiX-tl, if not. 1 have to
wait until e pital comes in and upens
this part of in.- cou ti. My tw..
p;irlnei It f 1 here todaj logo out pros
pecting for lour wieks in a new and
unexplored part of the Forty-Mile.
While out they expect to kill enough
moone and deer to keep us in fresh
meat all winter. On Monday next I
an going down to Ft. Cudahy, the
nearest settlement, about thirty -eight
miles, to bring up some more of our
provisions. We have to haul all we
eat on a hand sled hauling about 500
pounds to the load over the ice and
snow. It will take me about ten days
to make the round trip, and I want to
make three trips before the boys get
back. The weather here has been a
little cold for four days; we had it be
tween forty and forty-live below zero,
but we work out of doors just the same,
and don't seem to mind the cold at all.
The days are getting shorter and
shorter all the time, and now we do
not see the sun at all, and daylight
lasts from 8 a. m. to 3 p. m. I do not
know anything of Mark. I left him
some time in August, and have not
heard from him since. The last I
knew of him he was in some kind of
business. I shall be around in this
neighborhood for all winter and all of
next summer. I am in good health
and never felt better in all my life. I
am going to write to brother Will to
night so it will go out with this letter.
Best wishes to all. Your son,
F. C. Stadelman.
Tonrtelot Forced Into Bankruptcy.
The first involuntary bankruptcy
case that has been brought in this dis
trict since the law went into effect has
been filed in United States court at
Omaha. It was brought by the Krause
company of Davenport, la., Z. T.
Liindsey of Omaha and others, who
ask that George Tourtelot of the late
Department store be ie lared a bank
rupt. The petitioners allege that on
the night i f December 18 he assigned
his p operty to W. W. Coates for
$1,6'.)0. They clare that this was a
rid eulously inadequa'e consideration
and that the transfer was m .de for the
purpo.-e of defeating his legitimate
creditors.

Real Estate Market Looking t'p.
The real estate market is becoming
more active in Plattsmouth and the
ndications for improvements during
the coming year are better than for a
long time. Among the recent trans
fers are lots 1 and 2, the newly graded
lota at the corner of Seventh and Main
streets, C. E. Wescott having pur
chased them. He says that substan
tial improvements will be made there
on next spring. This is a flno loca
tion for a residence or any kind of a
building and that portion of Main
street will be very much improved in
appaarance in case a building is
erected upon that corner.

THE BOY AND THE BIRD.
Lesson Taught by a Lull's Act of
Ilamaulty.
Down on Harwood street the other
morning 6 o'clock some two or three
early risers were on their way to mar
ket, says the Dallas (Tex.) News. Up
the street at full tilt comes a boy rid
ing bareback, and he is barefooted and
bareheaded. He is whistling and is as
happy as only a boy of 10 can be. On
he goes at a full gallop, but with a keen
eye taking in everything that is to be
seen. He has just passed us when,
with a sudden stop, he wheels his
horse and makes for a near-by electric
light pole. It Is a tall one and, throw
ing the bridle reins over the nearest
iron foot-rest, he dismounts as quick
as a flash and up the pole he goes.
Hand over hand he climbs to the very
top, and once he comes near falling.
But not a bit discouraged is he.
That boy is up to something, but for
the life of us old fellows down on the
ground we can't make it out. Now he
throws one leg over a wire and in the
entanglement we watch him struggle
till he sits astride the center piece. And
now he thrusts his hand up into the
great glass globe, but his chubby arm
is too short to get whatever it Is he is
reachine- for. Another effort and he
is standing upright on the cross-tlmbei
and with his arm away down in the
globe, he brings out well a poor, lit
tle, frightened, fluttering bird. It had
in some way got into the conical-shap
ed globe and couldn't get out. Now
we know "what the boy means he
wants a pet bird and will put It in a
cage and In a few days the poor little
songster will die of neglect. We could
n't blame the little fellow, for we had
all been boys once; but we thought it
might have been just as well to have
let It stay in its own self-Incarcerated
prison, and mayhap it would have final
ly learned to regain Its freedom. But
just then the boy, with face uplifted
and a smile all over his sunburned
cheeks, raises his hand, palm upward
and fingers outstretched, and away flie3
the bird. Down the pole like lightning,
astride the horse in an instant, and.
rldlne like mad he nasses by us. Go
ahead, little rough rider, breathing the
fresh, free morning air free for you
and free for the birds you are all
right. There are other rough riders
who risked their life and everything
they held dear in the world to help
those in prisons and in bondage, and
you are both made of the same kind of
stuff. Ride ahead, little man, and
though you did not hear or notice our
plaudits there on the sidewalk, you are
all right, and may God bless you.
A GREAT FRENCH ETCHER.
Would Hare Been a Fine Fainter
bat
for Color Blludness.
Charles Meryon born in 1821 was
brought up to the navy, going first in
1837 to the naval school at Brest, says
Pall Mall Gazette. As a youth, he
sailed round the world. He touched
at Athens; touched at the then savage
coasts of New Zealand; made sketches,
a few of which, in days when most of
his greater work was done, he used
as material for some of his etchings.
Art even then occupied him, and deep
ly Interested as he soon got to be in
it, he seems to have had a notion that
it was less dignified than the profes
sion of the navy, and after awhile he
chose deliberately the less dignified
because it was the less dignified. He
would have U3 believe so, at any rate;
he wished his father to believe so. And
in 1845, having served creditably and
become a lieutenant, he resigned hia
commission. A painter he could not
be. The gods, who had given him
even in his youth, a poetic vision and
a firmness of hand, had denied him the
true sight of color; and I remember
seeing hanging up in the salon of M
Burty, who knew him, a large, impres
sive pastel of a ship cleaving her way
through wide, deep waters, and the
sea was red and the sunset sky was
green, for Meryon was color blind. He
would have to be an engraver. He
entered the workroom of one M. Blery,
to whom in after times, as his wont
was, he engraved some verses of his
wriftng appreciative verses, sincere
and unfinished "a toi, Blery, mon
maitre." The etchings of Zeeman.the
Dutchman, gave him the desire to etch
He copied with freedom and interest
several of Zeeman's neat little plates
and addressed mm witn praises, on
another little copper, like the one to
Blery "a Zeeman, pointre des mate-
lots."
Water as a Stimulant.
According to a high authority, cold
water is a valuable stimulant to many
tf not all people. Its action on the
ieart is more stimulating than brandy.
His own experience is that sipping half
i wine glass of cold water will raise
the pulse from 76 to over 100.
Abyssinian Artngeri.
In Abyssinia it is the law that the
murderer be turned over to the rela-
ives of the dead person, they if they
please, to put him to death in the same
nanner in which, the murdered person
rat removed.
