Trainmen Will Celebrate.
Speaking of the trainmen's annual
ball, to be held in Lincoln on New
Year's eve, the Omaha Bee says:
"The last day of the year promises
to be a memorable one for trainmen
employed by the Burlington system.
They propone at that time to gather in
Lincoln in numbers limited only by
the requirement of trains that must be
operated and give up the day to the
seeking and giving of pleasure. In
the afternoon the big auditorium will
bo converted into a great concert hall
and a j tint musical program will be
rendered by the Burlington bands of
Plattsmouth and McCook. This event
will be for the benefit of the poor peo
ple of Lincoln.
In the evening the trainmen will
give an entertainment unique in rail
road circles in that they propose to ex
tend a banquet to their officials. Tick

Employe of th Burlington Coich hhop
lo borne Fine Work.
About a month ago an order was re
ceived at the Builington coach chop in
this ciiy for the construction of two
sixty-foot mail cars. Work was begun
at once and about tm days ago one
was completed, and - the other was
turned out of the shops today. These
cars are to be used on the Billings
line, and are eauioned with ail the
moderu improvements, having the
Harrison mail racks and each is sup
plied with seven Pintsch gas lamps,
It is said the Burlington officials are
well pleased with the speed and work
manship done on the Plattsmouth cars
Three of these cars have also been
built in the Pullman, Ills., shops
Within the rast few months tho
local shops have built five new curs, in
addition to the two mail cars, and have
repainted and otherwise overhauled on
an average of fifteen cars por month.
Convincing; Argument.
The publisher of a tewspaper has

remarks an exchange, lie hns copies
of his paper to sell and space in its
columns to rent. Can anyone inform
us why he should be expected to give
awav either tbe ooe or the other? He
can, ' II he s chooses, ana ne anes.
as a matter of ftct, furnish a great
deal of space rent free. But it does
not follow that ho ought to bj expected
to do so. It ought to be recognized as
a contrioution. exactly as wouia pe
the givitg away of suga or coffee by
a grocer. Hut, strange to say, it is
not looked upon in that light at all;
and yet exerybody knows that the ex
istence of a newspaper depends upon
the rent of its space and the sale of
the paper, just as a merchant's suc
cess depends upon selling goods, in
stead of giving them away.

Man Who Stole a lair of Mule
Colts Wanted at Lincoln.
Sheriff Wheeler Kottfled of the Theft,
as There 1 a Probability That He la
Beaded la This Direction Small Fire
at the Rear of the Wctenkamp Build
ing Other Local New.
From Thursday's Dally.
Sheriff Wheeler received a message
from the sheriff of Lancaster county
this morning, stating that a couple of
mule colts were stolen near Lincoln
last night, and requesting him to be
ready to nab the thief in case he should
come this way. It is said that the
man who stole the animals is about
forty years old, of dark complexion
and that he is traveling over the coun
try in a covered wagon. The owner
of the mules is also an emigrant.
A number of thefts of this kind have
been reported to the Cass county au
thorities within the past several
weeks, but the thieves seem to take
particular pains to steer clear of this
section of the country.
A Small Mime.
The News force and several other
citizens made quite a record as fire
fighters shortly before dinner toaay.
Hall & Son were engaged in putting a
coat of tar on the roof of the eten-
kanip block and had placed a large
iron vat at the rear of tha News office,
in which the tar was heated. While
one of the assistants was engaged in
bailing out the fluid, he allowed some
of it to spill on the fire below, and in
a moment the vat was completely sur
rounded by flames. Tha prompt ap
plication of water, however, prevented
any serious damages, but for a few
minutes the small outbuildings near
by were in great danger.

wood, as "Leander Cobb" and Will
Madden, who played the part of his
son, showed that they were first-class
actors. Oscar Lewis, as the Swede
who was always "much obliged" and
Sam Green as the Irishman, were char
acters which gives the play an irresist

MUST PRODUCE THE HOOKS
Supreme Court Make Such Ruling In the
Standard Oil Trut Case.
The latest ruling of tbe supreme
court in regard to the Standard Oil
trust case is that the company must
come to the terms of Attorney General
Smytbe and submit in books and pa
pers to him for inspection In a writ
ten opinion, by Judge Sullivan, tbe
court assumes jurisdiction in the euit
of the state to oust the company for
violating the anti-trust laws of tbe
state and sustain" the motion of tbe
attorney general to require tbe com
pany to submit its books .to investiga
tion. Twice the attorney general made
fatal errors in his motion to require
the production of the books and twice
it was overruled by the supreme court
because of the errors, but the third
time was the charm. Tn the mean
time, the time set for the referees to
report to the court was repeatedly ex
tended. Fnrtber delay will now be
necessarv for the re 'erees to inspect
tbo books and tbe case will have to be
taken charge of by Attorney General
elect F. N. Prout after the first of the
year.
The court did not make an order
setting a time or place for the inspec
tion of the books and, as the motion
does not cover that point, a definite
order from the court may be neces
sary before the work will be started.
Tbe original motion asked that the
books be produced in Nebraska, but
the attorney general afterward struck
out that clause. The company is in
corporated in Indiana.

0AVE-IN SHUTS THEM IN THE PIT
But
Led by Their Brave and Cool
Foreman They Dig Their
Way to Life.
Scrauton, Ta., Dec. C. Thirty-two
men employed at the Xayaug colliery
In Dunmore were entombed by a cave
in yesterday morning, but thanks to
a fortunate circumstance a terrible
disaster was avoided. The men were
at work about 1,000 feet from the bot
tom of the slope and 400 feet below
the curface, when two acres of the
roof between them and the slope cauie
down with a terrific crash, crushing
the pillars and causing a rush of air
that almost 1lew the men from their
feet and hurled the roof off the fan
house. Their lamps were ext n
guished but finding that the air vas
still pure, they re-lighted them and
began to cast about for a way to es
cape. Foreman Gibbon Goes to Kzplore.
Some counselled remaining where
tbey were until help should rrach
them from the outside, but the crack
ing of the pillars in their vicinity told
them that the cave-in was extending
towards them and that they must soon
find a way out or be caught and killed
lik rats in a trap. Foreman John
Gibbons, who chanced to be with the
men at the time, bade them keep cool
and quiet and he would try to timl a
way out. Crawling on his hands and
knees over the fallen roof, and oine
tlmes squirming through crevices that
barely admitted his body, he made
hi sway to within fifteen feet of the
air-way which led to the second open
ing, which it was presumed was not
affected by the fall, as it is a namnv
passage out through solid rock.
Proceed to Die; Their Way Out.
Returning for the men he had them
take their tools and follow him. After
a difficult and dangerous journey they
reached the jiut where the fall
blocked their way. This was at
tacked with bars, picks and shovels
and after an hour's work a passage :
was cleared to the air-way. which I
a they had counted upon was oprn.
As fast as they could run they made
their way to rlie second owning and
thence to the surface, where they were
greeted with wild hurrahs from the
thousands who had gathered expect
ing to see them brought out crushed
and mniigwd corpses, if they were
brought out at all.
Inteime Kxritement Outnide.
During the two hours and fifteen
minutes intervening between the time
of the cave-in and the rime the men
emerged from the second opening the
most intense excitement prevailed.
Scores of volunteers, urged on by th:'
piteous appeals of the wives and chil
dren of the entombed men. descended
the shie and in the face of the fact
that the roof was continually working
and that tons of rock were liable to
drop at any moment they proceeded to
attack the fall ami dig a passageway
through it.

BADMOO,
BAD COMPLEXION.
The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are knewu
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large nuniter
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfiguring pimples.
Eternal vigilance la tho nrloo
