A Strang lutrndrr.
East Saturday evening at about
seven o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Andrew
Dill, who reside on Locust street, be
tween Ninth and Tenth, locked up
their house and came down town, re
maining away some two hours. Upon
returning, Mr. Dill unlocked the front
door and Mrs. Dill entered the house
first. Suddenly Mr. Dill was startled
by hearing his wife scream, and rushed
inside, cailing for help, in time to
catch her as she struggled free from
the grasp of a strange man in the
room. The fellow dashed out of the
house and soon disappeared in the
darkness. Some of the neighbors mis
took the outcry for help, and turned in
a fire alarm. Two hose carts were
soon oh the way to the home of Mr.
pill, but were stopped out on Chicago
avenue, whep the true state of affairs
was learned. Nothing was disturbed
in the house and it is presumed that
the intruder had only just entered the
house for the purpose of stealing some
thing when he was interrupted by the
arrival of Mr. Dill and wife. In try
ing to escape from the house in the
darkness the man probably ran into
Mrs. Dill, who was not injured, but
was badly frightened.
Dr. Dunn, of baled hay fame, is the
envy of all farmers around Havelock
on account of the magnificant appear
ance of his crops. The doctor gave up
hay and corn last spring and gave his
attention to hemp. He now has 320
acres of green and sturdy plants, some
of them nearly ten feet high. In two
weeks he will begin harvesting the
crop, and soon after this his new mill
will be converting the fibre into tow.
The crop was cut a little short by dry
weather, but it is still worth more
than a full crop of corn. Dr. Dunn
says that he will plant 1,000 acres next
season, as be is more than pleased
with the work of the first season, and
is in the industry to stay. Lincoln
Journal.
The jobbers of this state are consid

Jim Corbett, the "pug" was married
Thursday at Asbuiy Paik, N. J., to
Jesse Taylor, formerly of Omaha.
The Taylor woman, or Vera Stanwood
as she was better known, figured as co
respondent in the recent Corbett di-
vorsesuit, which was won by Mrs.
Ollie Corbett. It would have been il
legal for the pair io marry in New
York for the decree of divorce made in
that state barred the pugilist from
marrying in the lifetime of his first
wife. Legal authorities say that they
would not be recognized as man and
wife while living in New York. In
the marriage certificate the residence
of both parties is given as Asbury

To the afflicted:
Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof the lower
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 slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pile
Killer. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.
