COPPER THIEVES AT WORK AGAIN Booty Found Hidden in End of Sewer by Citizens Who Notify Company, Who Recover Stolen Goods. Tnis morning while coming to town James McKinney and Nelson Jones ob served something sticking in the end of the sewer, near the junction of Third street and Lincoln avenue, and getting out of their wagon to examine it, found it to be copper, a portion of a consign ment which the Burlington railway company had just received from the east. They immediately notified Mas ter Mechanic H. J. Helps and Store keeper Joselyn, who, with some work men accompanied by the parties who found the stolen property, wnt and removed the same to the shops. The copper had not been missed and had it not been discovered, would have been taken away when night came again in all probability, if the parties has not been frightened away from it before. The coppers are sixteen pounds in weight and were seventeen in num ber, making two hundred and seventy two pounds. At the price of twenty cents per pound, as that is the price of it in that shape, makes the amount of the stolen property $54.40. Parts With His Cash Clarence Ford of Carlinville, 111., arrived here Thursday morning and will work for his uncle George Ford. Mr. Ford had an experience in coming out here that he will not soon forget. This was his first trip away from home and he had a little money, which he un thoughtedly exhibited on the train, and some of the lightfingered gentry got $50 of it. Then he bought a book from a train newsboy, giving him a $10 bill from which to make the change. This class of fellows are noted short change artists, and in the hands of this fellow it only proved a $1 bill. He is sixty short but a much wiser fellow. It al ways pays while traveling to keep your money out of sight and to make your own change. Nehawka Register. Will Visit in Denver Mrs. E. R. Todd and son A.

With a deterimination that they would play basket ball as it should be played, and win out in the end, the Nebraska City High school team came up last evening. When the game opened they demonstrated that their belief in good playing was what they were relying up on for victory. In the first half the home team was out-played at almost every point. In the second half the home team demonstrated their ability by some remarkably fast work, and met the boys from down the river at every point, and many and exciting were the plays which fairly made the onlookers howl with delight. The star player of the game was Clarence Beal, whose work was fine. The game from the beginning to the time when the last pass had been made was one well worth looking at and while the visitors carried off the victory, the home team can well be satisfied with the game put up. The score was Nebraska City, 32; Platts mouth, 24. Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Ruffner Return Last evening Mr. and Mrs. P. R.

RAILROADS WIN IN CONTEST In the Discussion Yesterday The Private Ownership Won Out In the contest held at the high school building yesterday afternoon to deter mine who should take part in the inter high school contest, the ones support ing the negative were given the honors. The ones striving for the honors were Bennie Windham and Mattie Larson on the affirmative, and Josephine Hall and Marie Douglas on the negative. All acquitted themselves very creditably. In the absence of C. A. Rawls and W. C. Ramsey, who were detained by court business, E. II. Wescott was sub stituted, making the judges only two instead of three. The honors easily went to Misses Hall and Douglas, who have devoted much time and study to the subject. They cited many authorities in a con vincing manner that won the day. We look for these young ladies to make a splendid showing in the inter high school contest which is to take place in the near future. We expect our girls to win and have good reason for the belief. Our Worst Tyrant. We hardly notice what a tyrant our unsatiable desire for too much and too rich food is. Many assured us that they tried hard to overcome this desire, but did not succeed. If this is true, we have to look for something that would make our digestive apparatus so strong that it would easily stand the hard work without damages. Such a remedy, that is, such a tonic, is Triner's Ameri can Elixir of Bitter Wine. Take a dose of it before each meal, even if you do not feel real sick, and notice the strengthening effect it will have on your body. If you have some difficul ties after meals like heaviness, eructa tions, nausea, diarrhoea, or if your ap petite is not right, if you cannot eat, although feeling hungry, if your diges tion is not complete, Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine will cure you.

WholCan Beat This This freak may be nothing new or strange to some people, but it is a new one to the rabbit editor, and lest some may jump to a conclusion that this is a "dream" we will state that the scalp of a six-eared rabbit is at this office for inspection. The rabbit was killed Monday morning by Chas. Mc Kean and Wes Woodard between here and Nehawka. The rabbit has all the appearance of a common "cotton tail" in size and color about the only difference being the surplus ears. One pair of ears show nothing unusual, but on the right side there are two additional ears behind the first one, while on the left side the two "extras" are in front, and the surplus have no fur covering but are as long as as the others. Our freak is not as fe rocious as the famous "dog killer" of Mt. Pleasant was said to be, but will bear some closer inspection Union Ledger. Is Moving to Canada R. C.

President Donahoe of the Central Labor union, states that the resolution is simply the crystallization of the sentiment of organized labor in Omaha.
