A TRIO OF BURGLARS
Supposed to Have Been the Parties
Who Robbed the Paul Postoffice.

Arrives a Day Too Late.
Sheriff Huberle, of Otoe county, was
in the city on Sunday looking for three
men ho are supposed to have been
the burglars who robbed the postoffice
at Paul, a small station south of Ne
braska City, one night last week. From
the description Riven by Mr. Huberle
to the local officers it is quite sure that
the men wanted were under surveil
lance here as suspicious characters,
but as so information was received
from other towns the men were allowed
to go, and crossed the river heie to
Pacific Junction, where they were also
placed under arrest.
The Nebraska City News says;
Sheriff Huberle learned that three
parties were under arrest at Pacific
Junction, Iowa, and as they were
loaded with coppers it was thought
they had been mixed up in some of the
postoffice robberies in this vicinity.
Cards giving a description of the men
weiesentto various towns, but none
were received here, but our sheriff
read of their airest in the papers and
suspected that they might be the men
wanted for the Paul burglary, tele
graphed to hold the men until he
could come. An answer was received
that the men had been turned loose,
but the sheriff went up to see if he
eould identify some of the goods taken
from the men, and they correspond
exactly with those stolen at Paul.
Had the Pacific Junctiou men notified
our officers of the arrest they would
have been up there in time to get them
in their possession. There is but little
doubt but the men arrested were the
ones wanted in this county.
The thieves are all described as
young men, smooth shaven, and
passed through Plattsmouth, where it
was known they were loaded with cop

Gentlemen: 1 have for months been
a sufferer from Itching Piles, and tried
numerous so-called remedies which
did me no good. I procured a box of
Magnet Pilk Killeu, and I confess
the first application gave me great re
lief, and whil I feel I am not entirely
cured, I believe that before I have the
entire box used I will be well.
To every one suffering with this un

Don't Uelleve They Drowned.
A few weeks ago the disappearance
of two little girls from the vicinity of
Bartlett, la., a few miles south of
Pacific Junction, occasioned much ex
citement, and the commonly accepted
theory at the time was that the elder
of the girls had taken her sister In her
arms and had walked into the Mis
souri river. Tracks were found lead
ing to the river, and this factatrength
ened the theory mentioned. It is now
believed by the people of that vicinity
that the girls were not drowned.
The mother of the elder girl is mar
ried to her second husband, having
been divorced from her first spouse.
Her second mate was a school teacher
who was taken out by a mob a few
years ago and tarred and feathered.
The grandfather of the girls was seen
about the place on the day of their dis
appearance, and it is believed that he
secretly took the children away in a
boat to his home in Nebraska.
To Whom It May Concern:
I am making a genuine effort to close
out my businees here, so that I can
join mj family in California soon.
Therefore I must not only sell my
goods cheap, but I must close all run
ning accounts and sell for cash. Those
of my friends whom have been carry

call and settle up at once. Friendship
cannot continue long unles it is
mutual. Call and see me.

Th Missouri Is Coming to Town.
For the past three or four years the
main channel of the Missouri river
has been gradually moving eastward
toward the Iowa shore, and has eaten
away several hundred acres of laud on
the Iowa bottoms. For awhile the cut
ting was so extensive as to seriously
threaten the property of people living
on t tit bottoms pposite town, and
had it continued would have caused
the chanuel of the river to run under
the east approach of the big railroad
bridge, leaving the bridge proper span
ning shallow water and sand bars.
Hut the perverse old river has evi
dently concluded that it has Inllicted
enough damage upon land owners on
the iowa side and is ieturniig to Ne
braska again. During the past month
the main chanuel has been gradually
moving westward until now the ellow
waters of the "Misery" can be seen to
the westward of "Sundown island,"
the willow covered bar that was for
merly in the chanuel of the Platte.
Hut there is no sure thing of the
river returning and occupying its old
ted, as the fickel old stream is liable
to do almost anything, but should it
return to the Nebraska side it will be
duly welcome.

To the afflicted:
Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof thelower
bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
to the nature of the disease and learned
that I bad a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such alight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pile
Killeh. 1 used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com

Bicycle riders are increasing at a
rapid rate, and are to be found on all
of the highways and byways of the
city and country. Speaking of wheels
it is strange that drivers of vehicles
have a sort of antipathy for the wheel
man whoinsist upon having their legal
share of the roadway, and yet not one
of them could give any reason for it.
The truth is, the driver of a vehicle
ought to take off his hat to every
wheelman he meets on the public high
way, for these fellows are pushing the
movement for good roads all over the
United States. A decade of good
roads agitation on the part of this
constantly iucreasing army of wheel
men will give us a better grade of
vehicles and finer horses for good
roads always bring stylish tournouts.
Let a city pave its principal residence
streets and in.a year there is a sudden
Influx of fine vehicles and elegant
equippages. The wheelmen will in
tlcue cover the earth with beautiful
streets and solid thoroughfares.
The Commercial Club.
The complete success attained by
the "Sundown club" as a cultured
social, literary and amusement organ
ization has stimulated the organiza
tion of another club under the name
of the Commercial club, and articles
of incorporation have been riled in the
office of the county clerk. The object
of the club, as set forth in the articles
of incorporation, is to provide perma
nent quarters for a reading room, and
rooms for social entertainment, games,
etc., tor the members, and a restaur
ant, billiard room, card rooms, and a
reading room are among the proposed
features. The capital stock is fixed at
$300, divided into shares of $ each,
and each member will be allowed to
hold but one share.
The incorporators t;ro Joe Klein, C.
M. Hutler, T. M. Pattersou, Jas. K.
Pollock, Frank J. Morgan, C. A. How,
S. C.Wilde and Frank Dickson, and
the membership of the club includes
nearly all our business and professional
men.
The quarters of the club have not
yet been decided on, but the second
tloor of the Carrulh building at the
corner of Main anil Fifth streets, is
being considered.
Plattsmouth has long needed just
such an organization of this kind, and
when the new club is iu complete tun
uing order it will afford the members
a suitable place for entertaining both
themselves and their tv.it - of - town
friends.
A Nrw Invention.
Wait MftHon.
When Secretary J. Sterling Morton
was last in Nebraska he plowed a few
furrows of his estate near Nebniika
City, ami three gallon of the sweat of
honest til stream down his noble face.
When he went back to Washington he
issued a pronuncaun-nto eajingthat
the plow is a relic of thedatk ages.and
that it is a sin and a shame that no
reasonable substitute has been invne
ted. He is of the opinion that !he plow
only half does its duty, ami we agree
with him. Inspired by the brave
words, we have since been at work
making a plow that ought to revolu
tionize agriculture. Our model is now
complete, and J. H. Weston ami other
authorities who have examined it pro
nounce it to brt the finest thing ever
beheld. The plow share runs to a depth
ot six feet, and throws the dirt into a
hopper which conducts it to a lot of
machinery that sorts out all thestones
and rubbish, gathers up the tishworms
and places thc-tn in a tin can, and
finally replaces the scil free from all
lump -j and impurities. The plow is
provided with a comfortable spring
seat, with a canopy top for the driver,
on whose left - hand are arranged
shelves for current novels and other
literature; beneath the shelves there is
a drawer for cigars, while the friction
of the machinery keeps a lunch warm
all day. Hy turning one tap the driver
may secure a glass of ice cold lemonade
and another brings hot coffee; a crank
connected with the main wheel runs a
music box that plays all the popular
airs of the day, while another crank
operates a large fan over the driver's
head, to keep Mies away and to keep
hioj cool. The only possible objection
to this extraordinary piece of ma
chinery is that it will require eighteen
horses to haul it. but horses are cheap,
and they should cut no figure where
the comfortof the farmer is concerned.
The next time Mr. Morton comes to
Nebraska he will find that plowing is
fun.

Some of Our Neighbors are Visited

Portions of this section of the coun
try was visited by a destructive hail
storm on last Monday afternoon, which
caused considerable damage in the line
of broken windows and destruction of
truit and grow ing crops in the sections
visited. Apparently Cass county en
tirely escaped a visitation of this
calamity, but our neighbors were not
so fortunate. The area of the storm,
so far as the hail portion of it was
concerned, was not very wide, and
although it rained hard in this city no
hail fell. The storm evidently trav
eled up the valley of the Missouri
on thw Iowa side until it reached
Omaha and then went toward the
northwest. At Hattlett, Iowa, hail
as large as pebbles was reported,
breaking windows on the south and
east side of buildings and doing con
siderable damage to the fruit crop aud
fields of grow ing grain and vegetable
gardens. Omaha was directly in the
path of the storm, and the damage
caused by the breaking of window
glass alone will amount to several
thousand dollars, sky-lights and green
houses and conservatories were heavy
sufferers. Many people were severely
pelted by the falling hail, some cf
which was reported to be as large as
hen eggs, but no one was seriously
hurt.
Thus far no reports have been re
ceived that any portion of Cass county
was visited by hail.

day at Nemaha City and made numer

his brother-in-law. About- 10 o'clock
that night Huchenau went over to Cro

had an axe raised to break in the door,
when Crother fired, the ball striking
Huchenau just over the heart, inflict
ing a wound that will, in all probably,
prove fatal. No one blames Crother
for shooting, under the circumstances.
He has surrendered himself. The

If all the taxes that have been levied.
taking 1S94 as a basis, were paid dur
ing the next two years theie would be
a deficit of $750,000. In other words
the legislature has appropriated $750,
000 more money than it can possibly
raise under the most favorable circum
stances. As a matter or fact, owing
to the large number unable to pay their
taxes, the deficit is certain to exceed
$1,000,000. Add this to the present
debt of $000,000 and we have a pretty
heavy load for the hard times. It is
very evident that a few more sessions
of a legislature like the last one and
the state would be bankrupt.
