Marshal Slater happened to be at the depot wheu the train arrived at this place and he was called upon to lend a hand. The apartment. which Murphy had selected was closed by a sliding door. The marshal succeeded in opening the d--or far enough to permit him to re. ch in and grab the fellow, but Murphy pro ceeded to make a novel defense jab bing away at the ollicer's arm with a sharp lead pencil. la a tdiort time, however, S'a'er had the door open and yanked J;ick, the Jabbt r,,Toiiton the platform.

Cummins has a patient whose face is about as badly disfigured as anyone whom ih'i doc'or has seen since being in the business. Sunday afternoon a young m:in named Julius l'oman and several other boys decided that they would play "war" out in tho west part of town. One of the boys produced powder, an other an iron gas pipe, while nnother brought forth in itches, paper and other neecssiry article. A bolt was u-trd to close one end of the pipe, nnd, after it h id been properly lo- iled with powder ard a wad of pnpr, it was unanimously decided that tho "can non" was first class even though it had not been- tes'.ed. Young Toman was selected as the one to manipulate the firing part of the so-called cannon, an 1 he proceeded to enter upon his du ties with a coolness and grace which made it aoparent that he was familiar with any old thing in that line. 11 jw over, it can be snid to his credit that he is much wiser now than ho was then. Ho igtiitt d a piece of paper aud ap plied it to the end of tho wad, but as the results were not satisfactory, he permitted the burning paper to drop I'Om his hand while he reached for a in itch. Jmt then there was a loud re port ar.d for a ft-w minutes things in that vicinity did h ive a real war-like appearance. The noise could be heard for blocks away u m! attracted many people to the seen. W hen the smoke had somewhat cleared away helping hands quickly carried the almost p o? trate form of young Toman into the home of Wash Young. Dr. Cummins was hastily summoned and arrived a f.iw minutes later. The young man happened to be stooping over the "cannon" when it exploded and tho full cha-go struck him in the face. It was indeed a close c ill, for hod a piece of the pipe struck him he certainly would hivo been killed While tho boy's face will have a genuine Fourth of July arretrance for some time, the physician thinks he can bring him out of tho trouble with out any serious results. Several of the other boys were also more or less powder mai ked, but To unn was evidently the racst unfortun ate one of the crowd. "No family can afford to bo without Ouo Minute Cough Cure.

The Woman's club held one of the most entertaining meetings of the year last evening. The depai tmeut of parliamentary law furnished the pro gram for the first h ilf of the evening. Mrs Toliff, the leader, convened a oity couacil with a mock order of pro ceedings. Any one with a grievanco was invited to bring it before the hon orable body, and the result was most amusing such momentous quet tions as the enforcing of the curfew ordinauce, defective sidewalks, dirty alleys, open, unused buildings, insuf ficient streetlights receiving attention and wore disposed of in an orthodox manner truly gratifying. The Sunday closing law was also recommended to bo strictly enforced; also no license, and no liquor to bo sold only by doc tors' prescriptions. It was unanimously conceded that the millennium was at band, or would te when a woman mayor and council- women were installed. Mrs. Stouten borough gave a delight ful talk on "Eminent "Women Writers of America," and in referring to Alice Carsy called upon Mis Linsing to sing a favorite hymn, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." Hilt Wescott ac companied Miss Lansing, who rend ered this beautiful song with much taste ard feeling. Mis Verna Cole played a selection on tho piano with fine iflbct and Mr. Wescott also gave two piano solos during the evening. Tho next meeting of the club will be the la?t meeting of the history de partment. Mr. Pitzer of Nebraska City will deliver the lecture, which will undoubtedly be of great interest as he is a fine speaker. The senior high school class attended tho meeting in a body. A N13AT LITTLE SUKPIMSi:. K Mayor Klchry Celebrates Ilia Flfty- ' Ninth Itirthflay Aonlventary. K-Mayor F. M. liichey was given a little surprise Friday evening. His laughters invited a few of their fath er's gentlemen friends to a' G o'clock dinner and to spend the evening, the event being his fifty-ninth birthday. The honored gentleman evidently le- aliz d that yesterday was his birthday and thought his friends would say very little if he stayed down town a little later than usual to celebrate, so he kept his friends waiting for him for one solid hour, arriving at home about o'clock. But they all forgave him for toing so mortally slow in coming to his dinner. The evening was pleasantly spent in social conversation and cardj, after which the guests wished Mr. Ilicbey many happ3" returns and that ho might hereafter be more prompt to his meals. Those prosent follow: Messrs. J. M. I'attorson, liyron Clark, A. N Sulli van, V. V. Leonard, W. 1). Jones, J. W. Johnson and Dave Miller. IHhciiH! Out'stion of Iteuioval. The proposit on to remove the na tional offices of tho Woodmen of tho World from Omaha was the principal topic of discussion in the executive council of the Woodmen this morning, says the Omaha correspondent of tho Lincoln Journal. No proposition has been received from Kansas City thus fur, and the only definite offer comes from Little Itock, Ark., which oiTers 'o donate $5,000 in cash, a city lot and free rent of a building for one year un til a new building can be erected. This proposition was referred to the build ings committee. A resolution was offered providing for tho purchase of property in Omaha and the erection of a building thereon upon the condition that the 2,003 mem bers guaranteed by the Commercial Club anil buildiug exchange shall be forthcoming. This wna also referred. In speaking of the contemplated re moval of tho headquarters, one of tho highest officials of the order stated that there was absolutely no doubt but that tho ollices would remain in Omaha. It was decided to enforce greater re strictions in the issuing of policies in unhealthy localities and certain sec tions in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Arkansas were barred. Tho afternoon sessiou was devoted principilly to listening to reports of c(immitte2s. It is thought the council will complete its labors by t morrow night. lolutil In Wedlock.

The Daily Ex press publishes a dispatch dated Itiet Spruit, May 10, morning, describing the crossing of the Zand river by the British. It says: The rear guard of the Boers, with their guns, resisted the advance. The mounted infantry, two batteries and pom-poms cleared the way, and the Third cavalry brigade acted as a screen before the main col umn. General French was on the left and General Hamilton on the right. The Boers had destroyed all the bridges during their retreat. It is iiniossible to ascertain the Boer losses, but they are thought to be heavy. Those of the British, considering the important ad vance made, are considered light." The Boers were driven off in short order when the British charged, but as usual the- nearly all got away with their guns. Marshal Roberts was at last reports eight miles north of the Zand and his advance only twenty-two miles from Kroonstad. case ofTharles' F. W.

Neely, the chief financial agent of the postal service in Cuba, charged with embezzling Cuban postal funds, said yesterday: "What the result of the government investigation in this case has been I don't know. Inspector Bur ton is expected to arrive in Washing ton today with requisition papers signed by Governor General Wood, and the i tapers will hardly reach the act ing governor of New York before to morrow. Neely will, of course, have to answer. at the hearing which takes place here before United States Com missioner Shields. The two $10,0t United States treasury notes furnished by Neely as cash bail were put up by the Seventh National bank of this city." When Questioned as to what was found among Neely's effects when ar rested. Inspector King answered: "A great many stories have been published in regard to that matter that were in correct. The exact amount of cash found urton him was $11,302. There was also found two gold watches, two dia mond rings worth at least $."00 each and $NO0 worth of shares of various stocks:" A Washington telegram says Burton arrived there and handed over his papers.

Surgical operations and flesh destroying plasters are useless, painful and dangerous, and besides, never cure Cancer. No matter how often a cancerous sore is removed, another comes at or near the same point, and always in a worse form.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CQ-PANY, ATLANTA, SA. WAS CAPTU1112D AT LINCOLN Leonard, the Man Wanted For Robbery, Is Now Behind the Bars. Sheriff Wheeler went to Lincoln this afternoon in response to a tele phone message to the effect that the authorities there are holding the man Leonard, who is wanted here for rob bery. ' It will be remembered that Leonard called at the home of E. W. Kennedy on the evening of February 19, last, representing that he was working on the Missouri Pacific bridge north of town and that he was looking for a boarding place. Satisfactory terms were agreed upon ard it devel oped that during the night the new boarder skipped out with a new over cbat, a silver watch, 910 in money and other articles belonging to a fellow bmrder. At one time it was thought they had the man at Falls City and al so at Kansas City, but the' were not the right parties. Leonard's home is at Lincoln, where he goes by the name of McLaughlin. The sheriff will probably bring him back at 8:05 this evening.' Small Churches. There are many churches that at tract attention by their size and erand- eur. There are a few that are remark able by reason of their smallness and simplicity. It Is believed that the smallest church in England, sava a writer in the Quiver, Is the midget church at Lullington, in Sussex. It to a primitive and quaint bulldiner of flint, with stone quoins; it has a roof of red tiles, and a tiny weather-board ed turret. at -its west end. This minia ture church la only sixteen feet sauare. Its pulpit Is a pew, with paneled sides and door, and the furniture Is of the plainest. Five narrow, diamond-paned windows give light to the interior. When this tiny church Is full, thirty people. are gathered together, quite as many as the little villaee can sunnlv. Only a little larger is the quaint meet ing-house at Crawshawbooth, a village near Burnley. It is known as the Friends' Meetine-House. and is cov ered with ivy and surrounded by a well-cared-for burial ground. Inside may be seen half a dozen oak benches that; could. If necessary, accommodate sixty people. The attendance Is rarely more than six. John Bright once walked twelve miles, from Rochdale. to be present at a service in this meeting-house. Somewhat smaller than this chapel, however, is one that has been called the shrine of Quakerism. It Is in the hamlet of Jordane, In Bucking hamshire. Hither in June of every year come Quakers from all narts. for here lie the remains of the great Quaker, William Penn. If this were not enough to- maV th nlaon inter esting.

PETER'S GROTTO, Where the Tarao tines Were Converted t h i. IX 42,- Discovered. Rome Cor. -New York Times: More than ordinary Interest ha3 been taken of late in the discoveries of the Italian archaeologist Lulgl Viola In the neigh borhood of Taranto, In south Italy. Prof. Viola has, recently brought to light, in a part, of his country's pos sessions near to! the above-named city, an important subterranean crypt. or church, evidently belonging to the earliest Christian period, and, attached to it, a large and spacious natural grotto. Everything supports the hy pothesis that this is the long-lost grot to, where. St Peter 1 Is said to have per- formed, the nairacle of the conversion ana Daptism 01 the Tarantine pagans, after having broken and thrown down their ldpl of the sun, shortly after his arrival at Taranto in the year 42, after the birth of our. Lord. The present appearanc of the grotto coincides in every, way with the descriptions of it to'he' found in the writings of the old Tarantine historians, even to the exist ence of ' theJ fresh-water well which stands In the center of the place, and at which, according to many, St. Peter performed the rites of baptism. How the rite of the grotto and its adjacent church, so famed In the traditions of southern Italy, became lost to the pub lic knowledge remains a question yet unsolved. The walls of the church are covered with . ancient frescoes and paintings, "and the Inscriptions more than point to the eleventh century as the period of their execution. The chapel Is In all probability verf much older, however, and dates back to the earliest centuries of the Christian era. The principal paintings are to be found in the apse, and according to the man ner of the time represent the Redeem er, with the words, In Greek, "I am the Light of the World he who followeth me shall not walk in ' the darkness." To his right la the figure cf the Vir gin, and to the left St. John. On the walls of the main body of the church are represented various saints and martyrs. A. W.

Twenty-seven and a half hours is the running time on the new card. A quarter of a century ago the Denver newspapers printed editorials censuring the railroads for their recklessly fast pace twenty eight hours for the 500 miles from the Rockies to the Missouri river. Now adays less time is required for the thousand mile run to Like Michigan. A Follower of Measles. In many in stances a persistent cough follows an attack of measles. In speaking of this Mr. Walter B. Be el, editor of the El kin (N. C.) Times says: "Three weeks ago T had an attack of measles which left me with a bad cough. I took several doses of Chamberlain's Cough "Remedy and the cough has entirely disappeared. I consider Chamberlain's medicines the best on the market." For sale by all druggists. Fractured HI Thumb. During a game of base ball out at the "Forty" Sunday between a couple of ecrub nines, Leclie McKin- ney met with a rather painful acci dent. He was officiating in the capac ity of catcher for one of the teems. when, in trying to stop the progress of a curve, the ball struck him equarely on the end of the thumb of his right hand. The thumb was bent back to such an extent as to break the bone between tbe first and second joints and to force it through the flesh. Dr. Humphrey dressed the fracture and while it was a very painful one, it is not thought he will lose that member. Another one of tha players, John Lloyd, also slightly fractured his col lar bone during the game, but he con tinued to play without any ill effects. The ancients believed that rhema tism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an at tick of sciatic or inflammatory rheuma tism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enoueh to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheuma tism and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One ap plication relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it aff rds is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by all druggists. For Sale Residence property In Murray, Neb. Apply to J.
