Prank t 'a t tev;-on, the cobbler, his wife
and 11 .ttii" Harkins. They were
i bargt d with fighting and dislu bing
t Irt- peace.
The tronb o tarled on the corner of
Ffiii and Vine s'reets about 10 o'clock
lat night, and for a timo there was
n lively battle. The Ilarkins girl
claims the t'attoysons attacked her
and during the encounter she received
a whack i n the head with some mur
derous instrument, while Mr. Cattey-
son need ungentle m inly and in a bar
barous manner by miking tho imprint
f his teeth on her hand. Mr. Cattoy
son explained this matter, however, by
"3"'ng: '"She ought to have kept her
hands a tray from my face.'
When Mrs. Cdteyson tooK thj stand
she liad an entirely different story to
'.ell in substance to the effect that
Miss Ilarkins induced her to accom
oany iier on a mission, the object and
purpose of which was to whip a woman
lamed Collins, who, it was cliimed,
as at that time on Vino street in com
pany with Mr. Ci'.tteyson. Jealousy at
once took possession of her, and it was
a terrible nervous strain for her to
wait until sho reached Vine street so
anxious was she to meet in mortal com
bat with tho Collins woman.
After a short interruption, during
which the principals expressed their
opinions of each other as to veracity,
Mrs. Catteyson continued her story by I
saying that she discovered, as soon as
Vino street was reached, that it was a
deep laid plot in which sho was the
one to be whipped. IIore,5bo claimed,
it was where tho Harkins girl and a
male f i iend attacked her in a vicious
manner.
Mr. Catteyson's shop is on Fourth
street, botwoen Main and Pearl, and
the testimony shewed that later in the
evening more trouble was had in the
vicinitj' of the shop, but Ollicer Hansen
happened to arrive on tho scor.e just
in time to avoid bloodshed.
Judp-e Archer briefly reviewed the
circumstances of the caso and came to
the conclusion that all tho parties
were equally guiity of playing havoc
with the peace and quiet of tbo citi
zens of Plattsmoulh. In passing sen
tence his honor remarked that, while
they were justly entitled to a jail sen
tenco of twenty days, ho would let
them off this time on condition that
they each paid into the police fund the
sum of $3 and costs.
They did not have the money at the
time, but made arrangements which
tho court thought satisfactory and
they were released.
WOIJK OF THE CJKAXO JUICY
A. 8.
Cooley, Kx-Depoty United States
Marshal, Indicted.
The following, in regard to the in
dictment of A. S. Cooley of this
county by the federal grand jury, is
taken from the Omaha Bee:
"Among other indictments returned
by the federal grand jury, which ad
journed Tuesday, is one against A. S.
Cooley of Cass county, charginah,m
with defrauding the government by
certifyingialse expense vouchers while
acting in the capacity of deputy United
States marshal.
"This indictment is the result of the
investigation pursued by Inspector
Finch, special agent of the dapartmont
of justice, iast year, just prior to the
time that .he office of United States
marshal was conferred uxn T. Ij
M ithews. During the marshalship of
Georgo II. Thurnmel, tho present clerk
of tho circuit court, under him were
appointed several field deputies, among
whom were A. S Cooley and A. (r.
K-iim of Heatrice.
"When tho special agent of tho dc-j
p irtment camo into the district of Ne
braska he discivored that tho field
deputies were working their jobs for
all there was in them. It was the
work of but a short timo to securo evi
dence against many of them, and this
evidence was of a character to show
that the officer who audited the bills
at the Omaha office was either a very
dense person or that ho was in collu
sion with the men who certified tho
false accounts.
At the time the prosecution of the
casos dropped all tho field deputies
were also dropped. It was stated that
this was done in the interest of econ
omy, but it is asserted by those in a
position to know that tho men were
discharged to avoid a fuller investiga
tion of tho affair and that as soon as
tho incipient scandal was forgotten
they would be returned to their places.
"It has recently reen stated at tho
federal building that when Finch was
at work in tho district "the boys cov
ered up tho delinquencies of Cooley."
and that the inspector gained no
knowledge of them. The samo au
thori!y stated that "some fellows from
North Platte had mado up their minds
to mako trouble for Cooley," and had
appoared before the grand jury for
that purpose.
'From information which has leaked
out of the grand jury room, it appears
that ono Kelleher, manager of a hotel
at North Platte, testified that CooTcy
had paid him 84.35 for board, and, at
tho request of Cooley, Kelleher had
given him a receipt showing that he
had paid $7.35. A liveryman of North
IMatto also testified that he had given
Cooley a receipt for severt.1 dollars
more than he had received from the
deputy marshal. On this evidence
Cooley was indicted.
"Cooley has not yet bco.i arrested,
but it is said by his friends, who aro
fully cogniz int of the condition of af
fairs, that ho will surrender himself
as soon as informed that ho is wanted.
"Cooley is the second of the depu'ies
to feel the baud of federal justice, or
at least to feel its approach, for at pres
ent none of them have had to suffer for
their irregularities. At the last term
of tho United States district court, A.
G. Keim of Beatrice was indicted for
obtaining money under falso pet.'tises
by virtue of his office. Tho alleged
victims of Keim wore tho druggists
upon whom ho would call and tell
them that tho office bad discove-ed
some violation of law, but that tho
matter could bo settled by the pay
ment of a certain sum of money. The
case of Keim is set for trial at this
terra of court."
Surprised by Her Friend.
Kro in Wednesday's Daily
Yesterday was the sixtieth biithday
anniversary of Mrs. L. C. Anderson,
and she was very agreeably surprised
last evening when a largo party of
friends called at her home in the Third

fitting manner. Mrs. Anderson, how
ever.soon recovered from her surprise,
and, assisted by her husband and
daughters, proceedod to extend to the
guests a hearty welcome and make

Tho evening was very enjnyably
spent in various games, social conver-
falion and other amusements, and a
fine supper was also served. Before
departing for their homes tho guests
left a handsome silver table set as a

DELEGATES VISIT THE PRESIDENT
lint Xot in an Official Capacity Never
- Have Shown any Credentials to -Washington
Authorities. sS
: Washington, May 23. The state de
partment does not expect to have any
further coiuiuuuicatiou with the Boer
delegation. Such interchange as oc
curred was purely unofficial. It is
stated. 1C the Boor delegates had any
credentials giving them au official
status they failed to present tliem, or
even to refer to them in the course of
their talks with the officials. The only
sign of the iossosskm by them of dip
lomatic powers was the inscription on
the cards presented by them indicating
that each one of the delegates had
been sent out as a minister plenipoten
tiary by the Boer republics. Neither
did they present any credentials to the
president, when they called on him
yesterday, and they were given no offi
cial status.
Received in the lllue Parlor.
The emoys were received in the blue
parlor, no one being present but them
selves, the president and Secretary Cor-
telyou. The Boer question t-ame up as
an incident, a it were. lTesidenc
Kruger's name was mentioned and the
visitors then stated their pur'iose in
coming to this country. They said thoy
understood that what Secretary Hay
told them Monday was final, and that
the jiosition of the United States was
that this country could not Interfere
in the present struggle in South Africa.
The president confirmed this view. He
said Uiat the action he took some time
ago (when, at the request of the gov
ernment of theTransvaal that this gov
ernment should intervene, he offered
his good offices to Kugland to bring
about pence) he did with great pleasure
in the kope that it might iossibly bring
the conflict to an end. This offer had
been declined by Great Britain, and, he
said, there was nothing further that
the United Suites could do in the
premises.
Had an Object In Their Artion.
Having had reason to anticipate the
declination of the United States gov
ernment to intervene in behalf of their
republics, and having thus failed in the
primary object of their mission to the
United States, it is surmised that the
delegates refrained from endeavoring
to establish a diplomatic character in
order to reduce the liability to inter
ruption in the propaganda they are
about to conduct in the country at
large. Although the United States gov
ernment lKjond doubt, has the power
to stop this propaganda at any point
and dismiss the delegates from the
United States, it can be stated that
there is no likelihood of any such ac
tion being taken so long as the agita
tion is conducted by private individ
uals. WILL NOW DO THE GENET ACT,
Hut Not Having: Presented Credentials
Without the Genet Sequel.
But, it is said at the state depart
ment, the precedent established In the
case of Genet, tho agent sent to this
country by French revolutionists,
would require the government peremp
torily to stop the prosecution by fully
accredited diplomatic agents of a bel
ligerent nation of efforts to aid their
cause within the United States through
public demonstration. The delegates
were disappointed by the response
made by Secretary Hay. Now that
the answer is returned it is expected
that the delegates will go . at once
about the second branch of their busi
ness and begin a series of mass meet
ings and public demonstrations in the
principals cities of the United States.
The object of these will be to affect
public sentiment, and perhaps indirect
ly influencing the terms of the peace
which will conclude the iresent war.
It is gathered that the Boers are ready
at the last extremity to sacrifice every
thing for which they have heretofore
contended to let in the uitlanders to
equal privileges with native Boers in
the Transvaal and Free State, to aban
don the much-talked of dynamite mo
nojMtly, and in fact to make any con
cession if the victorious British "will
but allow them 'independence. They
hope that the American people will
bring sur-h moral pressure to bear up
on the English that his object can be
attained.
Meanwhile It Is the opinion In official
circles here that the prompt action of
the state department in dismissing the
Boers application for Int erevntlon has
indirectly gone far toward bringing
about a speedy termination of the
South African war.

UXIVEKMTY OF NeURASKA, LIN
COLN, Maj 22. Tho past week has
been cold and cloudy, with heavy
showers in the southeastern counties
and little rain in other parts of the
state. The dailv mean temperature
has averaged three degrees below the
normal.
Tho rainfall exceeded the normal in
a few southeastern countios,the amount
exceeding one inch in several counties
and exceeding three inches in two
counties Richardson and Pawnee.
Littlo or no rain fell in the remainder
of tho state.
Tho heavy rain in the southeastern
counties retarded corn planting and
all work in the Gelds, but in the other
parts of the state the week has been a
good oue for the advancement of work
on the farm. Corn planting has pro
gressed rapidly, and now most of the
corn is p'.anted. Early-planted corn is
coming up nicely, but tho low temper
ature of the week has not been favor
ablo for germination and growth of
c irn. Some fields of corn have; been
cultivated.
Wheat and oats have grown well.
In the southeastern counties there is a
tendency to too rank growth, and in
the central and western counties rain
would be beneficial. Some alfalfa has
been cut in southern counties.

Carbuncles, which are more painful and dangerous, come most frequently on the back of the neck, .

Nature's plan of thinning it. The blood is not too rich or too thick, but is diseased is full of poison and
unless relieved the entire system will suffer. The boil or carbuncle gives warning of serious internal
troubles, which are only waiting for a favorable opportunity to develop. Many an old sore, running ulcer,

Special Notice to the Oeneral Public nnd
Those Contemplating a Trip Abroad.
For the past eighteen years I have
had the agency for two of the best
steamship lines that cross the ocean
the "American Line" and the"Cunard
Line." No other line will compare in
accommodation-1.
On these lines and through this well
known company I have tickets for Bale
to all European points via Lngland,
Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Italy,
France and Scandinavia; also to Ha
vana, Cuba, and Porto Rico; to DawJ
son City and other points in Alaska;
Sidney, Melbourne and other Austral
ian points.
Remember, I write the tickets here
at home to any part of the civilized
world. I can furnish you with price
list, sailing list and any other informa
tion desired.
I have no office on Main stroet, but I
can furnish you with transportation to
any part of the world for less money
than same can be purchased for in
Chicago or New York.
Call up Plattsmoulh 'phone 104 and
I will call on you at any time.
Very respectfully,
L G. Larson',
Agent for Cunard and American Line
of Steamers.
A Permanent Fixture.
Robert Duncan, who is well known
in this city as "Hamburg," and who
has been having considerable trouble
at Plattsmouth, is in trouble again.
He had just completed a jail sentence
for using a revolver very carelessly
and narrowly escaping killing & man,
when he filled up with poor bug juice
and is now back in jail, where he will
have a chance to fully sober up again
and to meditate on the ways of tho
hardness of the transgressors. Bob is
never hapoy when out of trouble and
he has evidently taken a liking to
Plattsmouth and will stick as close to
that town as did the illustrious Crum
Stewart. Nebraska City News.

Some idea of it may be gained by quot
ing these remarks of one character:
"But to return to the girl with the
electric eyes. I hung around in that
tad dress suit like a big dub, hoping
that the conversation would finally
get switched to theaters or dogs or
sparring, or something whore I could
make good, but Mr. Hirold had the
floor and he ortainly had me ' looking
like a dirty deuce in a new deck."
The ancients believed that , rhema-
tism was the work of a demon within
a man. Any one who has had au at
tack of sciatic or Infl immatory rheuma
tism will agree that the infliction is
demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. It has never been claimed that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but it wH 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.
