PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT.
A San Diego, Cal., woman who was
pestered, as many folks are, by other
people's chickens scratching up her
fliwer beds and littering up her yard,
hit upon a novel scheme of conveying
a gentle hint to her neighbors. She
tied a lot of small cards with strong
thread to big kernels of corn, and
wrote on the cards: "Please keep
your chickens at home." The chick
ens ate the corn and carried the mes
sages to their ownersin a manner that
was startling and effective.

Col. Graves of the Union Ledger

Alabama woman who has been mar

Gills undr 18 in Michigan who are
matrimonially inclined and don't care
to wait, are much annoyed by the new
law which compels them to obtain the
written consent of their parents before

where they cau become brides the
minute they land, and no questions

John Witherow of Everett, Pa., had
hiccoughs, and the doctors could not
furnish him relief. His mother-in-law
procured a gun and crept under
the bed. When they were alone she
pulled the trigger, but she had aimed
the weapon upward. The powder
burned the sick man's toes, and in a
rage he sprang from the bed, and,
dragging the woman from beneath,
gave her a sound beating. In his an
ger, Witherow forgot all about his
hiccoughs and when the doctor came,
expecting to see a dying man, he was
dining, and they had only the mother-
in-law's bruises to look after.

A Georgian, who witnessed the re
ception of the union veterans at Lou
isville, Chattanooga and Atlanta, sug
gests that some northern city should
now invite the Confederate Veteraas'
Association to hold a reunion in the
north. There are several cities that
would be glad to welcome and enter
tain the confederate veterans, and
Chicago is among them, but there is
no general association of ex-confederate
veterans to correspond to the
Grand Army of the Republic, and it
would be more difficult to arrange for
such a reunion. The confederate vet
erans' associations are local to their
own cities and communities, and pure
ly beneficiary. But if the men who
wore the gray want to hold a grand re
union, they would have a good time in
Chicago and find many friends here.

Some citizens assume that when
they have paid a year's subscription to
a newspaper, they have a right to con
trol and dictate its policy. The time
has gone by when any neswpaper de
pends longer upon the patronage of
any man who would make the editor
his servant. The citizen who realizes
that the newspaper is a business in
stitution in the city or town where it
is located; that it is entitled to con
sideration as such, is the one whose
good opinion is of value.
I. O. Montieth, a beardless youth of
twenty, and Cora Adams, a giddy
l young" maiden of thirty-eight, both
residents of Council Bluffs, have
eloped to St. Louis, where they were
married. The boy's papa is very
angry and declares that the "girl"
kidnapped his son. He also asseits
that some alleged church members and
Sunday school teachers were mixed up
in the arranging of the match. There
is evidently nothing slow about the
coming woman.

'"During the vsixties a supposed
horse-thief escaped and made his way
down into Kansas. He was there
captured and held prisoner till the
sheriff of Cass county could come after
him. When tbesberiff, with his man,
on their return reached Nebraska City,
he was met by a commi'tee who told
bim of a prearranged plan, whereby
the citizens were to get possession of
the prisoner. It was explained that
the sheriff would be met by am' bat
or near the spot where Union now
stands. The mob would demand the
surrender of the prisoner. To this de
mand the sheriff was to declare that
the first man who touched the pris
oner would do so over his dead body.
Then one of the party was to make a
move and lunge townrd him, striking
him on the chest, so as to push him
over. He was to fire off his revolver
as he fell and lay still till they got pos-
session ot tneir man ana strung mm
up.
"'Well, it all worked. The crowd
met the sheriff in camp at. night and
demanded the prisoner. The sheriff
playeu his part so well the mob con
cluded he meant it and would not
make a move to take the prisoner. He
was brought to Plattsmoutb, where he
proved an unmistakable alibi and was
released. Today he is one of Cass
county's best citizens, as is also the
sheriff who had bim in charge.' "

L. ti. Todd's Identity.
There is at least one young man in
town who is not likely to soon forget
L. G.Todd. Friday evening "Gov."
Todd was addressing an interested
audience in front of the. Waterman
block, just after the convention ad
journed. Chas. Sullivan and O. K.
Johnson strolled by, and the former
remarked that that was L.G.Todd.
Johnson laughed at him and said
nit." The matter was argued until
the young men reached bmith & Par
mele's drug store, when one of them
offered to bet his hat on the correct
ness of his opinion, and the wagpr was
promptly accepted. The bats were
deposited with a friend and the young
men went down street bareheaded and
soon found that Sullivan had won the
bet. He walked home wearing both
hats, while Johnson was compelled to
wear only nature's head-gear. He of
fered to "set 'em up" to the cigars if
he was allowed to keep his hat but
Sullivan couldn't see it that way.
Another Humor from Jaekon's Hole. I
A dispatch in last Monday's World
Herald from Salt Lake City, Utah,
says:
"J. II. Wilson, who lives near Jack
son's Hole, reported at Idaho Falls,
Idaho, yesterday that Captain Smith,
who precipitated the Indian troubles
in the Jackson Hole country last July,
and two other white men were killed
by Indians on October 3. The killing
took place at the lower end of Jack
son's Hole, the victims being shot
from ambush.
"Wilson, the man who brought the
news, and Constable Manning, who
were scouting in the locality of the
shooting, saw the bodies of the mur
dered men. The names of Smith's
companions could not be learned.

Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof thelower

very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had 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

Tom pain followed, and soon a com
