J.'rtlouxy Nearly lr--iilHtt-rt it Kiot cm VUntc-rntren Hill. Last evening Alice Jones, who re sides on Wintersteen hill, filed a com plaint against oiio Hertha lnbcott, real name unknown, charging her with using abusive and threatening lan guage. The latter is from Omaha and has been working as a domestic for about a week in the north part of town. It appears that the two have become infatuated with Ralph Barthold, and it was over his attentions that the girls becbine involved in the quarrel. The Inscott girl was taken before Judge Archer, who let her go on her own recognizance, with the under standing that she would appear for trial at ! o'clock this morning, but added that if she left town no effort would be made to bring her back. She went to the home of an old lady by the name of Tim mis residing on Wintersteen hill, but did not put in an appearance at 9. Mrs. Timmis notified the police this afternoon that she wanted her taken away from her house and Officer Han sen was detailed to go to the bouse, lie shortly returned and stated that he believed the girl had taken poison and was dying. fie took a physician to the scene of the "dying girl," who made a hasty examination and made the discovery that the poison she had taken was nothing but common, every day whiskey and that she was beastly drunk. She was taken to jail and when she sobers up will b? given a trial. Released From the l'eat llouxe. VA Uutton arrived in the city this morning and will spend several days visiting his mother, Mrs. A. W. Dut ton. As was elated in The News sometime ago El was one of the vic tims of the smallpox seoiirsre in Omaha. Himself and Elmer Cole, for merly of this city, were running engines in the I.urlington yards and were boarding at the Vendome hotel at the time the disoasj broke out. Dutton was one of the first to contract the disease, but at first thought he had measles. He was taken to the pest house where he was kept forty eight days, being released last Mon day morning. Ke had about the worst siege of anyone afllicted with the malady, being unconscious a por tion of the time. His faco is quite badly marked now, but. it is thought the ma.'ks will disappear to some ex tent. Elmer Cole was not taken ill until sixteen days later, anil will not be re leased for about ten das-s, although he is rapidly recovering. The pest house is located about a mile northeast of old Fort Omaha, and Mr. Dutton states it is about the most dessolate place he ever saw. The county commissioners have finished the work of checking up the nook in the county judge's office and have filed a report with the county clerk. The salary allowed the judge is $1,600 a year and the report shows the fees collected by County Judge Spurlock for the years 1S9G and 1S97 amount to something over $3,000 and all fees collected from now on for these years will go into the treasury, ehowing that the judge's office is now self-supporting. The raombers of the board speak in the highest terms of the manner in which Mr. Spurlock keeps his accounts, making the task of checking up his books very easy. Viola Allen's Literary Anplratloiin. Miss Viola Allen, the "star" of Hall Caine's dramatization of his popular novel, "The Christian," has always aspired to bo an author.

When will the time come when Uncle Tom's Cabin will los its charm to the rising generation? Judging by its present freshness, its alluring powers will be perennial. There i3 something in the skillful combination of the pathetic and the humorous that never fails to fascinate, and the story that it tolls of the sutl'ering of the poor slaves appeals directly to the finest sensibilities of the human soul. Suh plays are better than sermons. They point a moral and adorn a tale. They teach us lessons in though fulness and charity. They impress on our minds the precepts of the golden rule. Mrs. Slowo's book is one of the greatest books of literature, because it deals with questions of immeasurable human impart, and the play itself is one of those simple master-pieces that can never die. If it does no more than to keep alive the memory of the rise and fall of one of the greatest iniquities that history deals with, it was not written in vain. The Forest Uncle Tom's Cabin com pany will appear at White's opera house, Tuesday, March 28. Millinery Opening. Mrs. O. F. Utterback, the miilinr-r, is making preparations for a grand opening of her spring stock to begin next Tuesday and .-ontinue during the week. She has an elegant stock of trimmed and pattern hats, together with everything el.-e that goes to make a first-class millinery store, and the lady who cannot select a hat at Mrs Utter back's emporium to suit her fancy will, indeed, ba hard to please. D. F. Davis, advance man for For est's Uncle Tom Cabin com pan j-, was was in the city today and perfected arrangements for the appearance ol his company at White's opera house Tuesday evening next. This is a first class corn p. my and will, no doubt, attract a large crowd, as Uncie Tom companies usually do. Mr. Davis is not a stranger to Plattsmoutb. His first visit here was in 1878, when he brought llice's circus to the city. They came up the river on boats and after leaving here met with a smash-up near Sioux City, one of the boats striking a snag. Iowa is confronted with a serious problem as to what it shall do with its prison labor. The con victs at Anamosa have been employed in large measure for a number of years in the construc tion of the prison buildings, but this task is almost complete. Within a year there will be between 500 and 630 con victs out of employment unless some thing is provided for them. It is pro posed to set them to work making bind ing twine. The question of prison labor is a most serious and perplexing one. Doth from a moral, mental and physi cal standpoint it is essentiat thai con victs should be kept employed, but the selection of an employment which will conflict least with free labor is not so eas3'. So far as any Iowa industry is concerned, the one proposed is prob ably open to as little objection as any which could havo been selected. Ilee.
