COME AND SEE THE OUTFITTER OF MANKIND. ELSON, the Cash Clothier, PLTco A VERY CLOSE CALL. Two Children Eat Jimson Seeds and Nearly Die From the Effects. JOKE WAS UPON THE JOKERS. Sheriff Eikenbary UpseU the I'laus Ot a Fair of Smart loung Men Ander son - Eikenbary Nuptials Various Other Notes. They Ate Jimson Seeds. Two children of Wm. Wohlfarth, who lives over in the Fourth ward, were having a rather serious time of it Tuesday afternoon. The little ones thoughtlessly ate some jimson weed seeds and the mother soon saw that they were getting drowsy. A doctor was summoned and the chil dren had his entire attention that after noon. To eat jimson seeds sometimes sends the eater into a sleep which knows no waking, and for this reason the condition of the children was at Grst thought to be quite serious, but on Weddesday they were considerably improved and the assurance is now given that they will safely pull through. Jimson seed poisoning is so often a serious matter that the parents should feel fortunate that the lives of their children will be spared. Nipped In the Bud. Sheriff Eikenbary put an effective stop to the plans of a pair of practical young jokers this morning. The afore said young jokers are the sons of two of the most prominent men in town, and that they were not informed on by the sheriff was only due to the fact that the respective fathers promised to attend to the young men without delay. Their scheme was to address letters to men about the town, both married and single, signing the names of well-known young ladies, and in vited the person addressed to be at a certain place after night where they would be met by the young lady who was supposed to write the letter. The letters were written in a hand rather feminine in appearance, but neverthe less they were all penned by one of the smart young men. The letters were delivered by a small boy and two of the parties receiving them handed them over to the sheriff. The latter made a quiet investigation and finally found the boy who delivered the let ters at the request of the jokers. The boy told who had given him the letters, whereupon the sheriff immediately bunted the smart youths up and con fronted them with the charge of writ ing the letters. They denied having any knowledge of the affair at first, but afterwards confessed and begged the sheriff not to "give them away," but their fathers were informed in spite of their supplications. Both of the young men are too large to spank, but it is ten to one that the fathers will give the boys an invitation tonight to ''walk into the bed room and have a talk." Hymeneal Mention. The wedding of Mr. Geo. F. Ander son and Miss May Eikenbary was cele brated last evening at 7:30 o'clock at the horns of the bride, two miles west of town. The ceremony, which was performed by Rev. L. F. Britt, was witnessed by an audience consisting of the relatives and immediate friendsof the contracting parties, and after con gratulations were over the party was seated to a sumptuous wedding sup per. The groom is a young man of character and excellent habits. lie has occupied the position of foreman In the Pepperberg cigar factory for over two years and possesses the en tire confidence of his employer. The bride is the eldest daughter of Sheriff t n F.Jkenbarv and wife. She haa hosts of admiring friends, and in her! ied lots, ipacity o wo'wenVand cistern, windmill, cellar; ve, etc. All surrounded with' a .tmnil wire fence.

The happy couple will commence housekeeping at Ninth and l'earl streets and will be "at home" to their friends after next week. Kindness Gets a Oueer Keward. N. II. Isbell a gardener who lives two miles west of town is looking for a boy who stole his horse and buggy. Some four weeks ago a tramp 14-year old-boy applied to Mr. Isbell for work and the gardener took the little chap in and gave him a home. The boy was quiet and orderly and soon won the confidence of both Mr. Isbell and his wife.. Monday afternoon, they dispatched the lad with their horse and buggy to attend to an errand. This was the last seen of the boy and the horse and buggy as well. Late it Sheriff Eikenbary has re ceived word from Nebraska City which makes it reasonably certain that the boy who skipped from here on Monday evening with X. II. Isbell's horse and buggy . has been nabbed. The Nebraska City police made the capture Tues day, but they are pursuing a peculiar process in regard to the matter, which doubtless has its origin in a fear that the $50 reward offered by Sheriff Eiken bary will not be paid. The local au thorities traced the boy down into the country south of town, and that he was headed for Nebraska City seems certain. Sheriff Eikenbary has sent a deputy down to Nebraska City to look into the matter. Oeafness Cannot be Cared By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused 'by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the eustachian tube. When this tube gets indamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma tion can be taken nut and this tube restored to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, tree. F. J. Cheney, & Co.. Toledo, O. ySold by druggists, 75c. Ilenry Geringwas a witness the other day, while coming down from Sheri dan, Wyo.,to a political argument between Congressman Coffeen, of Wyoming, and Fred Dorrington, our former townsman, but now of Alliance, this state. Dorrington didn't know that Coffeen was in the crowd and he was blowing and blustering at a great rate about the wonderful things which the g. o. p. had done for America, when Coffeen, Gguratively speaking, jumped onto Fred like a hornet and drove him fairly wild with the force of his logic. When the argu ment was concluded Dorrington was so badly whipped that he scarcely knew his name from rage, and when the crowd eave him the horse-laugh his cup of bitterness was completely full. It is safe to say that the next time big Fred Dorrington thinks of talking politics he will look about for fear that little Coffeen may be lurking in the immediate neighborhood. I'opallst Float Cuvention. The delegates chosen by the people's independent party for the counties of Cass and Otoe are requested to meet in convention at Nebraska City, Neb., on Tuesday, the 20th day of October, at 1 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of placing in nomination one candidate for float representative and the trans action of any other business that may be deemed necessary.

Friday, at Nebraska City, seven delegates representing Otoe county in a so-called float convention met and went through the formality of naming John Sinclairas a candidate for repre sentative. This alleged convention is the one called by C.E. Lloyd of Otoe county, and is not recognized as the regular convention. There were no delegates present from Cass county, although the convention to make a quorhm for itself, counted two dale gates from Cass. The action of the Otoe democrats cannot but meet with decided opposition, especially in this county. Speaking of this matter Chair man Grimes of thecountycentral com mittee opined that he did not know that Cass county had a candidate, but thought Otoe democrats had acted hastily and unwisely in thid matter and that they should hold a regular called convention, based upon the vote (as it should be) cast for J. M. Stone for float representative two years ago,and under which Cass county would have eighteen votes and Otoe thirteen votes. So far as the nominee, John Sinclair, is concerned nothing need be said. His legislative course is well-knovvn,as he represented Otoe county in the last legislature and was turned down in the county convention for re-nomination. If he were regularly nominated he would doubtless receive the support of Cass county democrats, but Cass county democrats cannot afford and doubtless will not support him unless a new and legal convention regularly nominates him.

The division of spoils and liability of debts between the counties of Bock iind Brown has again drifted into the supreme court of the state. Brown county was organized in 1883 and in 1SSS the county of Rock was set off from the territory of Brown county and a division of property agreed upon. Itock coHnty was to have as its own A.i per cent of all personal property owned by Brown county and be liable for 43 per cent of all the indebtedness of Brown county. At that time Brown county owed $1S,000. The two boards could p.ot agree on a division of real estate. At the time of the division Brown county owned acourt houseand jail and one block containing twelve lots situated in Ainsworth, but as it could not be removed or divided Rock county sued for 43 per cent of the value, $12,000, which would be $5,1C0. Judgment was rendered for $4,3S7. Brown county has taken the case up on error. F. G. Fricke & Co., druggists, recom mend Japanese Liver Pellets for con stipation and sick headache.

He was shown the book and told that it was due from Aug. 22, 1803, amounting to $1.6-5 which he paid, but went off in a huff, because he said he thought he was to get the paper for $1 a year. The explanation was made that the rate was tl.50 a year when not paid in ad vance, or $1 in advance. We never promised the paper at $1 a year except when paid in advance, and cannot af ford to lose the extra half dollar charged because of their neglect.

HON. SILAS A. HOLCOMB, the populist and democratic can didate for governor, is announced to speak to the people of Cass county on TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 2d, 1894. All the People Are Invited. "Farmer Majors!'' remarked a Peru vian a few days since, "I have known Tom ever since he came to the county and if he ever held a plow, bound a bundle of grain or wielded a corn knife, I never happened to be present at the exhibition; the fact is, he never had time to farm." And then we re membered that the first time we met Tom he was an oflicer in the Nebraska First, and was drawing a salary or $128 per month. Later we knew him as a member of the territorial council on a moderate salary. Afterwards he became a classmate in the state nor mal, but was soon lured from his books by the siren song that told of oflicial honors and official salary, and lie was returned to the legislature to receive but $120 for forty days' work, to vote for United States senator, which said vote he did not throw to the birds, but held onto until he was promised the office of revenue assessor in return for said vote. After he had held this of fice until it ceased to be, he again went in search of legislative and congres sional offices; and, if we remember rightly, the only time the public teat has been from between his teeth was when the congressional committee ex posed the frauds of Si Alexander and Dr. Schwenk and sent him home to play peek-a-boo with Church Howe. Tom is not to blame for not being a farmer. He has not had time to till the soil; he has been too busy farming the voters and writing a history of his daring as one who went into the army when a mere boy. Auburn Granger. A. S. Will, the well known stock feeder who resides ten miles south west of town, has latfely erected a mammoth feed barn on his place, the loft of which will easily accommodate 160 tons of hay. Mr. Will is one of the most successful stock raisers in Cass county and there are none who are not pleased at his continued good fortune. The county commissioners of Doug las county have decided to place the question of voting $1,000,000 for the Platte river canal before the people at the general election, November -6. The proposition calls for the comple tion of the canal October 1, 1898. Tom Benton, ex-state auditor, passed through town this morning, enroute to Lincoln from a trip to Chicago. Tom is a warm supporter of Majors, and when he heard at the depot here that Ilolcomb had been endorsed by the democrats he was really blue. Otto Herold and bride departed this morning for their home at Ilolyoke, Colorado, after a week's visit here with Otto's parents. C.
