"JOHN BARLEYCORN" HAS
TWO MORE VICTIMS BE
FORE THE POLICE JUDGE
From Tuesday" Ilaily.
The court of Judge M. Archer
yesterday presented its usual
lively Monday appearance, as a
number of celebrators were
hauled forth to receive their
doses of justice at the hands of
the judge. (Jcorge Young was the
first victim of "John Barleycorn"
to come to the attention of the
court, and this was easily settled,
as Young bad put up a cash
bond with the police yesterday
for his appearance and failed to
answer the roll call yesterday
morning at the court room, and
Ihe city strong box was enriched
by the 3 which he had put- up
and (Icorge apparently has
sought more congenial climes
than Plattsmouth.
"Cub" Lambert xva?- another of
those who had partaken of the
cheering cup too freely and had
been gathered in by the police for
safe-keeping. "Cub" is some
corn shucker and he was hired to
go out to the farm of Thede
Amick, near Mynard, to work,
and in order that the work might
not suffer, Mr. Amick went his
bond for his appearance here
next Friday for trial,-and he was
allowed to go out to the farm to
lake up the corn shucking stunt
for a few days and will then re
ceive his bunch of justice for his
over-indulgence in intoxicants.

From Tuenday's Daily.
There was a large crowd of
young men present last evening
at the Melhodistc hurch to en
joy the delightful lecture given
before the Young Men's Bibb
class by Prof. F. M. Oregg of the
Peru Normal, and there was no
one present who did not feel that
they had received an inspiration
from the able address deliverec
by the gifted speaker of the even
ing, and his remarks were clear
and forceful. Mr. C.regg look as
his subject "The, Cost of the
Kthical. Moral and Commercia
Cains of the Hace," and he lob
in simple language of the ad
vancement that each generation
had made since the creation o
mankind had begun, and the cos
lo the people of these generations
in their raising of the standard o
humanity. He told of Ihe gain o
the spirit of honesty through al
the years and how the integrity
of man was greater loday an
constantly growing better than it
had been in the years gone by
The advancement of the doctrine
of equal rights to man, of UK-
advance of the Christian spirit
and the worship of Ood, and the
abandonment of the theory of a
Cod of fear and the establish
inent throughout the world of the
higher ideal if the Cod of love
and mercy were touched upon by
the speaker, and his clearness in
showing the spirit- of advance
ment showed to his audience th
trend always toward the better
things of life, and he impressei
upon them that they, too, mu
attempt lo do for themselves am
their companies Ihe service o
striving for advancement. After
the close of the interesting lec
ture the boys enjoyed themselves
in singing several songs, am
finally prevailed upon Prof. A. O
Eggenberger to deliver one of his
verv pleasing readings, which
served to add greatly lo the en
joymenl of the young men for
tunate enough to be present.

"BUNKOED" OUT OF MONEY
From Tuesday's laily.
The following special from St

the details of a smooth con
fidemie game worked on a man
named Adlph Smehans, who
gave . his residence as Platts-

unable lo learn, but he certainly
done wrong when he deserted tin
peace and quiet of the small town
for the pitfalls of a great city am
should have taken a guardian
with him on his tour:
Adolph Smehans of Plaits
mouth. Neb., resented the sug
gestion that he would keep money
found by him without seeking tin-
owner, and it cost him 23. H
took a walk with a man who
picked up a speaking acquaint
ance with Itim in In ion station
about i p. in., and after a walk of
two or three blocks seeking 4
glass of beer" they met another
man.
- "Ah," he began after scrutiniz
ing Smehans face for a moment
or two, "you're the man that
found my 50."
"Not me," , protested Smehans.
"I would return it if I did."
"Count your money. I know I
saw you pick it lip,", the man said
Smehans counted 2i. The
man asked l be allowed to count
it over. He did and slipped back
a roll of paper surrounded by a
M bill. Then the two left Sine
bans.
