As Mrs. Benfer waa doing her work this morning' she heard Kouicono walking about, as she supposed in the hull, and stepped out to see who it was. She was confronted by a stranerer in tho hall, who was in the net of wrapping something up, but nothing was thought of it as he Im mediately inquired for a lawyer's office and ho was directed to K. J. VassV office, lie started on down tho stair way, remarking that wa? not the name of tho lawyer ho wanted to see.

It was later discovered that he had also stolen an overcoat from Fred Thomas, in the Hotel Plattsmouth. He went down to the shops with the jacket during the noon hour and sold it to William Peterman for 50 cents. Thomas also works in the shops and the fellow was within a few feet of him with tho latter's overcoat on, but he did not notice it. Last evening when Peterman learned that the jackat had been stolen he returned it to the owner and the overcoat will be restored to its owner. The thief gave his names as Henry Watson, and is regarded as an old hand at thieving. Ho was given a hearing before Judge Archer this afternoon. He entered a plea of not guilty and was bound over to district court. He will probably be arraigned in district court next Satur day, at which time the date of his trial will be set.

Kllas Sago, the well-known fruit man, who resides in tho nouthwest part of the city, was tho victim of an accident last Monday, the serious- aess of which cannot vet bo deter mined.

The girl going out into society has this especially brought home to her in the bewildering array of various kinds of knives, forks and spoons she finds laid alongside her plate at the numerous dinner parties. Perhaps there are three or four dozen special forks, knives and spoons, and she does not dare to be napping if she wants to be considered altogether thoroughbred and up-to-date. She must be thoroughly conversant with style and use of each, for woe betide her if she should make a mistake and use her dessert spoon for the soup, or vice versa. Besides being up in the latest book, play, music and picture. she has to know that there are forks for asparagus, beef, berries, cold meat. dessert, for fish, both fov serving and for individuals, for ice cream, dinner. breakfast, lettuce, lobsters, olives, oys ters, pastry, for serving, and for in dividuals, and sardines even vege table forks are not unknown. Then she must be familiar with the shape and use of the spoon for almonds, for berries, bouillon, bon-bons, chocolate, for the tea-caddy, coffee, crackers, des sert, eggs, 5-o'clock tea, horseradish, ice cream, Jelly, lemonade, marmalade. mustard, nuts, olives oranges, pap, preserves, salad, salt, soup, sugar, ta blespoons, tea and vegetable spoons. As there are knives for butter, cake, fish, fruit, pie, Ice cream. Jelly, maca roni, oranges, dinner, breakfast, and waffles she must be able to tell each one of these at a glance. Besides knowing all this list she must know the order In which each course should come and how, where each one and In what order each one of these knives, spoons and forks should be placed when giving dinner parties of her own. If the silversmith is a spe cialist In designing a separate piece of silverware for each purpose, isn't she also a specialist In her knowledge of them? A Winning Attraction.

Proposed Payment of Cuban Sol diers By Aid of Loan I'roKpects (loud to Keconclle Itadical Kle in en t Among the Cubans -An Attempt to It urn the Quarter of the I lrt Washington Volunteers Work of Pa triotic Women. Washington, Feb. 20. Efforts are making, with every prospect of suc cess, to reconcile the radical element among the Cubans to the proposition of the United States government to pay the soldiers of the Cubtn cause $3,000,000. This ia expected to be ac complished through a rather sweeping authorization by tho United States government for tho incurrment of a considerable loan to make good the deficiency between tho sum the United States agrees to pay to the troops and the sum tho Cuban leaders believe to be the smallest that can be paid with benefit and due regard to justice. So far tho proposition has not taken tho official ehape here, but the ad ministration has been quietly sounded by the Cuban contingent, who have ex pressed gratification at tho prospects. General Gomez himself is expected to broach the plan formally when lie be eins his conferences with General Brooke in Havana. Gomez arrived today at Matanzis, making his way very slowly towards the capital. What is proposed is that the United States shall sanction tho floating of bonds by the Cuban municipalities or provinces to the amount of $7,000,000; which snm is to be paid over to the Cuban troops in ddition to the 'l,0(;0, 000 to be paid by the United States. The municipalises are to set aside a certain proportion from tho receipts from customs and other sources of taxation to meet tho bonds. In addition to this the United States government is to be asked to sanction the redemption out of the customs re ceipts of the bonds issued in aid of the Cuban rebellion to the amount of $2,-500,000. Data, it is stated here,will b3 produced by the Cuban assembly to show that every cent of this sum was expanded in legitimate war ex pen res. Tricky Rebels Start Fire.' ' Manila, Feb 21.-9:35 a. ni. The natives of the villago of Paco made a bold attempt last night to burn tho quarters of the First Washington volunteers by setting fire to the huts adjoining their quarters in the rear. Fortunately the wind changed at the moment the fire was discovered and fanned by a stiff breeza the flames spread in the opposite direction, de stroying fully twenty shacks and houses opposite the ruins of the church. The incendiaries escaped. Mysterious signals were frequently made along tho enemy's line during the night and this led to the belief that an attack had been arranged, but nothing happened. The rebels are leaving the vicinity of San Pedro Macati in 6mall parties and are reported to be moving toward Singalon. Work of Patriotic Women. Washington, Feb. 20. The first session of the eighth continental con gre.-s of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion began at the Grand opera house today. The attendance of delegates from fcnbordinate chapters through out tho United States was larger than at any previous time, the opera house being filled to its full capacity. Mrs. Daniel Manning, president general of the society, opened tne regular pro ceeding with her annnal address. It dwelt especially on the aid the society has given to the soldiers and sailors of the union during the war with Spain, saying tbat as a result of its labors 1,000 thoroughly trained women be came nurses and over $300,000 in money and bupplies was furnished.

When Harney Got Out Skyscrapers and Trolleys Frightened Him. After an Imprisonment of twenty four years, Barney McCue was released from the Eastern penitentiary recently to enjoy an outside world that Is prac tically new to him, says the Philadel phia Record. Accompanied by his dog "Colonel," lie hoarded a 20th street trolley car his first experience with electricity as a motive power and lert the car at the Reading terminal, new also to him. Before this point was reached, however, a new picture met his gaze; sky-scraping buildings sur rounded him. These buildings had all grown up since his incarceration. The public buildings also, which were an unsightly conglomerate mass with a high fence around them twenty-four years ago, had risen a bit and taken on their Penn-crowned tower since last he looked upon them, but were unique from his standpoint as being the only structures well under way in 1874 de cidedly incomplete on the eve of 1899 and likely to remain in the same cate gory another quarter century hence. McCue said his impressions of the world after nearly a quarter-century's imprisonment were rather bewildering. Upon his arrival in Willlamsport he was almost as helpless as a child. He was still afraid of the electric cars, and when taken in charge by his old friend, Attorney Reilly, who happened to be at the station, McCue asked to be taken to a house where he could col lect his thoughts and regain his com posure. Barney McCue was convicted at Williamsport nearly a' quarter of a century ago of the first-degree mur der of John Dexter at Muncy Run, Lycoming county, and was sentenced to be hanged. Gov. Hartranft com muted his sentence to imprisonment for life and Gov. Hastings granted his pardon. SIR WALTER RALEIGH. His Life KnconiitKsed All There I t Know. Raleigh's day of days was the sack of Cadiz in 1596, says the Fortnightly Review. It was Raleigh who overbore the timid counsels of Lord Thomas Howard, crying out to Lord Essex: "Entramos! Entramos!" a permission so acceptable to the gallant young earl that he threw bis hat into the sea for sheer Joy. Then Raleigh betook him to his ship and led the van under the batteries and right into the har bor. When his vessel, shattered by shot, was on the point of sinklug, he left it to enter Essex's ship, and, though severely wounded by a splinter, had himself carried on shore and lift ed onto a horse, to charge with Essex against the Spanish army. Of the sea fight Hakluyt says: "What manner of fight was this, and with what courage performed, and with what terror to the beholder con tinued, where so many thundering, tearing peeces were for so long a time discharged, I leave it to the Reader to thinke and imagine." Of the charge on shore, he tells us: "The time of the day was very hot and faint, and the way was all of dry, deepe, slyding sand in a manner, and beside that, very uneven. But the most famous Earle, with his v ant troupes, rather running in deede In good order, then marching, hastened on them with such unspeakable courage and celerity, as within one houres space and lesse, the horsemen were all discomforted and pat to flight, their leader being strook en downe at the very first encounter, whereat the footmen being wonderful ly dismayed and astonished at the un expected manner of the Englishmen's kinde of such fierce and resolute fight, retyred themselves with all speed pos sible that they could." We know the story of Sir Walter Raleigh but too well; his cruel Imprisonment, his more cruel liberation to save his life by ac complishing the impossible, and his most cruel execution on a warrant signed fifteen years earlier. He knew all that Is to he known of success and failure, of courts and treachery, of sea fights and assaults on cities, of treas ure islands and tempests and long marches in tangled forests. He Fooled the Surgeons. All doctors told Reuick Hamilton, of West Jefferson, O.. after suffering IS months from Rectal Fissula, he would die unless a costly operation was performed; but he cured himself with five bottles of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, the surest Pile cure on earth, and the best Salvo in the world. 25 cents a box.

Va., a veteran of the civil war, car ried a bullet in his heart for thirty seven years. His death was not due to the presence of the bullet, and, in fact, he never suffered any inconveni ence from it. Before his death he ask ed the physician, in the interest of science, to make an autopsy in order to find the bullet. The physician did eo and found it Imbedded in the heart. Cure For L.H Grippe.

Insect Faster Than HlrU A common house fly is not very rapid In its flight, but its wings make sou beats a second, and send it through the air twenty-five feet, under ordinary circumstances, in that space of time. When the insect is alarmed, however, it has been found that it increases its; rate of speed to over 150 feet per sc ond.

Mew Zealand Mountain Parrot. "It is well known," says Appleton Popular Science Monthly, "that the kea, or mountain parrot, of New Zea land, has acquired the habit of attack ing sheep and making holes by means of its sharp and powerful beak In the backs of these animals for the purpose of abstracting the kidney fat, which appears to be esteemed as a luxurious diet. It is supposed that this peculiar habit or instinct was developed by the bird getting the fat from the skins of sheep that had been slaughtered, but this solution is not very satisfactory, as there appears nothing to connect the fat on the skins of. the sheep with the live animals. In a note published in the Zoologist, Mr. R. F. Godfrey, writing from Melbourne, offers the following solution of the mystery, which seemed to him to he simple and satisfactory, and more rational than the sheep skin theory: 'In the hilly districts of the middle island of New Zealand there Is a great abundance of a white moss, or lichen, which exactly resembles a lump of white wool, at the roots of which are found small white fatty substances, supposed by some to be seeds of the plant, and by others to be a grub or maggot which infests it, which 13 the favorite food of the kea. Probably the bird, misled by this resemblance, commenced an ex ploration in sheep, and, this proving satisfactory, originated the new hab it.' " Crushed.
