. An exciting chase after thieves
livened up what would have other--wit)
have been a . dull day
lui4 afternoon when Glen Rawls,
th active young man who repre
sents C. E. Wescott's Sons In com
pany with Deputy Sheriff Manspeak
er made hot pursuit up the tracks
in the Burllpgton yards after two
negroes who had sought to steal
four vest and four pants from Wes
cott's. The excitement all took
place this afternoon when two ne
groes came Into Wescott's store and
one of them engaged Mr. Rawls In
conversation while the other sought
to steal the clothing. Mr. Rawls
was suspicious and kept an eye on
the man at the front of the store
while talking with the other man
and thought he detected the former
In the act of secreting the clothees.
Not being sure, however, ho hestl
tated about going after him and
making him disgorge and did not
make a move in that direction until
after the man with whom he had
been talking left.
Mr. Rawls then Investigated and
found that some pants and vests had
disappeared during the visit of the
men. Concluding at once that the
thing to do was to get busy and run
them down while there was yet time,
Mr. Rawls started down the street
to the Burlington station toward
which the men had gone. Meeting
Deputy Sheriff Manspeaker on the
way down Main street, he recited the
facts to him and asked him 'o help
him locate the thleveH. Mr. Man-
nucaUer joined him and together
they reached the station only to see
the negroes going north through the
yards, one of them with a suit rase
la his hand. They made Immediate
pursuit, although the men had a long
start.
As soon as the men discovered
that escape wus possible, Sheriff
Manspeaker drew his gun and began
firing at them. The men turned
sharply into the hollow and began
running. The sheriff realizing that
a hunt on foot for them was al
mOBt without hope of success turn
ed back to get a team and notify
Sheriff Quinton.
Mr. Rawls continued the search
on foot and when he reached the
mouth of the hollow, he was sur
prised and gratified to And that the
men had thrown away the suit case
and an overcoat In their flight. He
opened the case and found in it four
vests and four pair of pants. Hav
ing recovered the property he re
traced his steps to the city and re
turned the goods in good condition to
her store. After this he hurried to
his home to change his clothes which
had become much wet up In the
chase.
Deputy Sheriff Manspeaker after
his return to the city Immediately
notified Sheriff Quinton who hurried
to the Burlington station, where he
took No. 23 to Oreapolls, where he
hopes to head of the fuglstlves
while Deputy Manspeaker took a
team and buggy and began scour
ing the country for the culprits. He
Intends to go to Oreapolls where he
will meet the sheriff and together
they expect to bring their men back.
Wescott's Sons are much gratified
at the recovery of the goods and hope
to be able to prosecute the thieves.
The two men had been In the store
during the forenoon and Mr. E. II.
Wescott had waited upon them but
had snsplcloned something WTong
and quickly quit them. They came
In again while he was at dinner and
Interested Mr. Rawls but with no bet
ter ultimate success. The result of
the pursuit Is waited with much in

One Million Dollars for
a Good Stomach
Tliis Offer Should Ik? Warning tit
livery Man anil Wunuin.
The newspapers and medical Jour
nals have hud much to say relatives
to a fmous millionaire's offer of a
million dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi
tion of his stomach. He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the end it became Insur
able. His misfortune should serve
as a warning to others. Every one
who suffers with dyspepsia for a
few years will give everything he
owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnor
mal state of the gastric juices. There
Is one element missing Pepsin. The
absence of this destroys the function
of the gastric fluid. They lose their
power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the
pepsin in a form almost identical to
that naturally created by the system
when in normal health, so that It re
stores to the gastric juices their di
gestive power, and thus makes the
stomach strong and well.
. Wo want every one troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia to come to

(There Is a possibility that I'latts
mouth may not be a better place to
buy things In than Omaha just a
possibility. Yet, when a man comes
down from that city to buy clothes,
it ought to appear to the good peo
ple of this city that they were mak
ing 'a mistake when they go there
for real goods. Such a case come
tO;l;:the surface this morning when
Col. John' Franklin Swezey, poet
lariat of the plains, advertising agent
par excellence and general all u round
newspaper man, now connected with
the? Omaha Daily News, arrived In
the city this morning to buy a new

whfc was largely responsible for the
exiillent edition which the Journal
got, out. during the summer com
memorating thethlrleth anniversary
of (he paper's existence,, assures the.
Journal that In his visit to this city
last spring he found he could not do
so Veil in Omaha as ho could In this
city In buying clothes. He wanted
an "overcoat and ho went to C. K.
Wescott's Sons for It. He got a per
fect flt and not 'only that but he
found he could buy good goods

More Help Needed.
Fire Chief Kouhek calls the at
tentlen of the Journal to tho neces
sity, cf tli u honorary members of the
lire department aiding the active
members In the care of Nelson Jones,
an honorary member of the depart
ment. The chief says that help Is
badly needed to take care of the
shk man and that the list of active
members Is being rapidly exhausted.
There has been only one honorary
member voulnteer his aid so far
and he does not consider this
right as they are as much bound
to' care for a fellow member as tho
others. The Red Men have been
helping out to some extent In caring
for Mr. Jones whose condition Is
very bad, but even with them, more
help Is needed and the chief strong
ly, urges tho honorary members to
come forward and assist. There la
help enough for several days yet but
within a very short time the list will
be. Exhausted and then more will bo
needed. Mr. Jones renlly shows no
signs of Improvement and there Is
virtually no hope for his recovery.
Ho delirious at times and It ls,jllf
nonfc' to' restrain him from doing
harm, either to his attendants or
himself.
All red men are Invited to this
blowout, the more the merrier.
If any of the brothers signify
their Intention of coming, 1 would be
very much obliged If you could give
me an idea of hjw many to expect,
so we can make arrangements accordingly.
You can come up on the evening
train over the M. P. R. R. and catch

From the above it can be seen' the

A ' Large Gang.
The Missouri Pacific railway is
seeming to get to work In good
earnest now. There are nine cars
of Greeks stationed in the wards in
this city, the men being employed
in relaying steel on that road. The
gang will be here for several weeks
at least as they are to make this
clly their headquarters during the
process of relaying the steel from
this city to Oilmore Junction. The
work will take quite a while and
when it Is completed the road will
have heavy steel stretched over the
line from Kansas City to Omaha.
The gang will spend quite a good bit
of money here during their stay as
they" have to buy food to live on and
this all helps the merchants some.

The Journal has learned with
much pleasure that J. P. Kuhney, a
brother of Harry of this city, and
who was formerly a resident of
Plattsmouth, has returned to Ne
braska from Oklahoma , where he
moved some months ago. John has
located at Nehawka and has opened
up a fine barber shop In that place.
The Journal bespeaks for him the
best patronage In the town as John
Is an expert In his line. From past
personal experience, the Journal can
personally guarantee the people of
Nehawka excellent treatment at his
hands. As a barber he is without
a superior In the Btate of Nebraska
and as a man he is the right kind
for a good community to have. John
found that Nebraska was a pretty
good place to live after all and while
he has nothing to say against Okla
homa, he has much to say for Ne
braska and he thinks Nehawka Is
about right, too. On that point we
agree, Nehawka la a good town and
It has a good recruit In John P. Kuhney.
