Inter' of Corporal Fair and Private
Jockont to ll Irateetd.
Corporal Fair and Private Jockens,
soldiers at Fort Crook, are to be ar
rested by the sheriff of Sarpy county
this morning on an information charg
ing them with tbe murder of Private
Morgan, a soldier at tho same post.
The two men will be taken to Pa pil
lion, where they will be arraigned be
fore County Judge Howard. They
will plead not guilty and it is more
than likely that the hearing will be
set for next Tuesday morning-. At the
arraignment and the hearing the de
fendants will be represented by United
States Attorney Summers, who has
been instructed by the authorities at
Washington to act in the premises.
It will be remembered that some
weeks ago Morgan deserted from the
poet and was pursued by Fair and
Jockoni, who overtook him in the
vicinity of La Platte, where, upon his
refusal to halt when commanded, he
was shot and killed.
After the shooting, the army officers
took the matter up and arrested the
two men. They were court-martialed
and, upon being tried, were acquitted
the contention being that they were
in pursuit of a deserter and that their
acts were within the scope of their
authority. After the court-martial
the state authorities commenced an
investigation, with the result that it
has been decided to arrest and prose
cute under the laws of the etate.
What line of defense United States
Attorney Summers will adopt is not
known at this date, as he refuses to
discuss the matter. However, the lm
pression prevails that he will raise the
point that the two men have once
been put in jeopardy, charged with
the commission of the crime alleged
and that there can be no further pros
ecution. Omaha Bee.

County Commissioners Figuring
on Kefunriing Tliem.
Hmwm Paid Off 10,000 of th Boodt and
Hava AxrfLDgad to Refund th H
malnlng Bonds At a Lower Rata of
Interest Will Ba a Larga Sating- to
th County.
From Thursday' Dally
County Clerk James Robartson and
Messrs. Turner Zink, J. P. Falter and
George W. Young, members of the
board of county commissioners, re
turned this morning from Lincoln,
where they had been on business in
connection with the court house bonds.
At the time the court house was
built bonds to the amount of $30,000
were voted, to run ten years te'ore
any of the amount could be paid and
the ten years just being up three of
these bonds, or $lo,00 of them, was
taken up and paid off yesterday at the
state treasury. The interest on the
same for the last year was also paid.
This amounted to $4,000.
This leaves 165,000 of the bonds yet
to be paid. While at Lincoln the
clerk and commissioners made ar
rangements to refund the outstanding
bonds at a lower rate of interest, viz:
4 per cent, the rate at the present
time being 5 per cent.
They will have the privilege of pay
ing the interest semi-annually instead
of once a year and they also have the
option of taking up any amount of
tbe?e bonds at the time the interest is
paid. The principal being reduced to
$65,000, a saving in interest of $1,400 a
year will be made.
Notices are now being published and
if no objection is filed by January 10
the bonds will be refunded. It is not
thought that any objection will be
filed, as the plan in view is cienrly a
saving to tho county.

EMPHASIZED HIS LAST WILL.
Haw aa Old Hteamboat Captain Tried to
Prevent m Contest.
From the New Orleans Times-Dem
ocrat: "I am free to admit this story
sounds a trifle fishy," said a New Or
leans lawyer, chatting over an after
dinner cigar, "but I happen to know
It Is absolutely true. Last summer a
local business man, who it isn't neces
sary to name, made a new will or
rather an elaborate and peculiar char
acter. 'I am bound to say to yu,' re
marked his attorney, when the docu
ment was completed, 'that I think it
more than likely your children will
make a contest if this will is ever
probated.' 'I'm going to have a talk
with them on that very subject,' re
torted his client. 'Yes,' replied the at
torney, 'but when your voice is stilled
forever they may think differently
about it' That remark set the old
man to pondering, and he finally hit on
a Tery picturesque expedient. He had
a phonograph at his office, and, put
ting on a fresh cylinder, he roared his
last injunctions into the receiver in
his most impressive style. Then he
carefully removed the record, swathed
it in cotton ool, a d filed it away
with the will. Next day he sent for
the lawyer and gave him specific direc
tions what to do after the demise. 'I
want you to call the family together,'
he said, 'and read the will carefully
from beginning to end. As soon as
yon get through and before they have
time to talk about it, start the phono
graph going and let 'em hear my last
message. Be sure to have a good, big
horn on the machine and see that
everything is in first-class working
order. You had better keep the thing
In your office,' he continued, 'and any
time a contest is mentioned just turn
it loose.' The old gentleman was a
steamboat captain in his early days
and he has a way of giving an order
that makes one jump to hear it. I am
Inclined to believe that his scheme is
a good one, and that his parting ad
juration, coming as it were from - the
grave, will have a highly discouraging
effect on litigation."

ALUM AND NERVOUS DISEASES.

Causes Many Illnesses.
The frequent cases of nervous pros

much thought aad investigation on th
Part of physicians. Certain inorganic
substances are well known to cause va

to the belief that alum is a prevailing

days after its introduction into th
body. Then follow less ef appetite and
other alimentary disturbances, and
finally a serious prostration of th
whole nervous system. The most prom

Proper Time for Bath.
Regarding the proper time for a bath
a simple general rule may be given.
Take cold baths on rising in the morn
ing aad warm ones Just before retiring.
In taking Turkish or Russian baths
the hour need not be considered, ex
cept as la all baths, none of which
should be taken less than an hour or
so before or after saeals. Where It Is
possible, use fresh, clean rain water
for ta bath. This is the nearest ap
proach to distilled water, which Is too
expensive for general use. Soft water
Is next beet to rain water, and a little
orax or ammonia In hard water will
soften It. Brisk rubbing should al
ways follow a bath; then the bath will
do all that is claimed for It in the way
ef reaevatlmg the person, invigorating
the system. Increasing the fineness and
aeftnecs of the skin, and making one
leok and feel younger. Cleanliness of
the skin has a great effect on the gen
eral health, an It Is well known that
if erne ha been exposed to infection
the best thing to o by way of precau
tion is to take a hot bath Immediately.

the limit. Throughout the winter and
early spring it Is best if one is at all
liable to chills, to take one's bath at
night. Just before going to bed. If
taken in the daytime, brisk exercise
immediately afterward either walk
ing or dumb-bell practice is highly
beneficial. Woman's Life.
