The idea of tagging children in cities
is so simple that everybody wonders
why it was obliged to wait until the
year of our Lord 1S95 for its general
adoption. In Chicago they are now
tying little badges inside of. the cloth

the parents. The policemen iind the
new system so simple and efliclent
that they are asking for its adoption
everywhere.

It is rumored in Burlington circles
that the company expects in the near
future to reopen several of the stations
in its western territory which have
been discontinued because of dull
business. The station at Pluma, b.

resumption of business at other sta
tions is expected at any day. Lincoln

It is said that there are some raised
1 bills in circulation in Fremont. The
word ""one"" is made to read "ten," and
the figures are altered correspondingly.
The bills are hard to detect, it being a
very clever piece of work. Instead of
reading-ten dollais," however, it reads
'ten dollar" the "s" not appearing on
the enlarged bills. One bankin Omaha
received forr of the bills in one day
without detecting the alteration.

General Miles proposes to use the
bicycle in the army service, not in
battle, but for the dispatch service,
and for the movement of infantry
rapidly from point to point to meet
threatening danger. There are al

in the service and he proposes to merge
these into companies, regiments, and
brigades.
Men who are too stingy to take their
home paper, but rely on borrowing it
from the neighbors, are not the men to

George Raker, a printer formerly
employed in this office, got into bad
company up at Chalco last Sunday
night and in company with two other
fellows scrapped a gang of ten men
in a saloon in that tough little burg.
The lights were put out and it was a
free-for-all fight lasting about ten
minutes, at the end of which time the
furniture of the room, the stove and

$40, but the other fellows got the worst

Up to date, some thirty applications
for court reporter have been made to
Judge Ramsey. One from Iowa is
accompanied with a very strong in
dorsement from Hon. John Y. Stone
of Mills county, Iowa. As yet, Judge
Ramsey has not indicated his choice
but it is generally believed that he
will favor one from his own district
and possibly from Otoe county.
The attorney general of Illinois has
rendered an opinion that it is illegal
for insurance companies to enter into
an agreement regarding rates, as by
doing so they render themselves liable
to prosecution under the trust laws of
the state. This is liable to cause con
sternation among the insurance peo
ple. The Lincoln Call says editorially:
"The discharge of Sandy Griswold,
charged with being accessoiy to the
murder of Fletcher Bobbins, created
little surprise. The best legal opin
ions in this city have been to the
effect that Griswold could not have
possibly been held to acconnt in the
matter. All will admit that Griswold
should have been in better business,
and it is hinted that he will keep out
of such affairs in the future."

Our neighboring village of Syracuse
has passed an ordinance levying a tax
of five dollars upon every insurance
company doing business in that burg,
and making the resident agent of the
company responsible for the payment
of the tax, the money so raised to con

way of getting after the corporations,
and the outcome will be watched with
interest. Nebraska City Progress.
The Nebraska City cereal mill has

The following, from the editorial

"When a district judge stoops so low
as to take advantage of his judicial
position to get even with a practi
tioner at the bar by threatening to dis
bar him, or asking a well-known at
torney to show reasons why he should
not be disbarred, simply to weaken bis
standing with his clientage, he not
only degrades the high position he is
permitted to occupy, but he gives evi
dence, prima facie, that be, least of
all men, should be judge."
An interesting case was decided in
favor of the Burlington at Seward tt e
other day. Samuel Brown bad his
back injured while getting on the
train at Hastings in September, 1S93.
Train No. 4, on which he was travel

hours, and as is the custom, the closets
were locked. Mr. Brown tried one of
them, and being unable to get in, was
compelled to get off the train. It was
while returning that he was injured.
He sued for $5,000. but the court held
that it was no fault of the road. It
had furnished all the accommodations
possible under the circumstances.

INHERE AND THERE.
The other day two adventurous lads
out at Salem, Neb., made a sudden and
hurried exit from this world by means
of the steel-runner and thin ice route.
This is an occurrence much prevalent
at this season of the year, and is rap
idly forcing its way to the front as an
established mode of procedure. Platts
mouth usually furnishes one or more
victims for Coroner Clements to look
after, at great expense to the county
and much mortification for the victim,
but this season so far has been devoid
of any manifestation.
During a discussion the other day as
to the relative merits of various meth
ods of passing into the beyond, espe
cially favored by the state, a group of
astute gentlemen widely differed upon
many points of moment. For instance,
several opposed having the date of ex
ecution made public. Their idea was
to notify the condemned that during
a certain week he would quit living and
then when he had retired some night
turn on the gas or charcoal and let
him sleep. Another very efficacious
method was to have the executioner
slip up behind his unsuspecting victim
and hit him in the bead with the sharp
end of an ax. In ancient times the
man with the ax reduced his victim
at one blow. Haywaid ought to have
an ax.
Sunday morning when the good citi
zens were hunting side doors and drug
stores their eyes were appalled by be
holding two ancient horse-cars stand
ing in the middle of lower Main street.
Believing that boom days had come
again, many increased the price of cor
ner lots and built the M. P. shops
again in addition to erasing Ilavelock
from the map. Nay, further, several
gentlemen are alleged to have frozen
their ears waiting for a car. This all
goes to show that any gentleman de
sirous of learning the distance between
towns in Nebraska by the tie route,
can be accomodated if he will invest
his money in a street railway system
in Plattsmouth. This town needs
street cars and will get them, I think
not.
Among recent inventions is an elec
tric switch. This bint is dropped for
the benefit of the W. C. T. U., as they
can order a supply and locate them
near every saloon in town,thus turning
the boys on the main line. Also
school teachers can use these switches
with deadly effect, saving wear and
tear on the mascles. For ladies shy
on hair this invention is invaluable, as
it will electrify and delight millions.
In sporting life its chief exponent will
be the gambler whe m it will warn of
danger when he goes up against four
aces with a king full. Taken all in all,
this invention bids fair to become a
household necessity, a veritable vade
mecum.
From electric switches to electric
lights is but a step, and here again the
W. C. T. U. can do quiet but effective
work. A few tracts judiciously dis
tributed might remedy a peculiar
failing on the part of the man who
carbons the lamps. The other night
the glass globe on the light on high
school hill had been carefully lowered
so as to protect the iron tank at the
bottom of the lamp while the carbon
was flaming away without any cover
whatever. When a man gets so far
gone as to do this kind of an act be
needs a cover for his own tank,and not
a glass one either.
In an interview in the Chicago
Chronicle the other day Euclid Martin
of Omaha, proceeds to exploit upon the
downfall of silver in Nebraska, and
states that he is still willing to wel
come into the democratic party any of
the free silver men who choose to come.
Verily, Euclid, you are too good for
earth. Your kindness and forbear
ance are beyond compare. In that
day coming, we know not when, when
the heavens shall roll together as a
scroll, and the earth shall be no more,
we expect to greet thee, Euclid, in the
promised land, wearing a pair of golden
wings, and seated upon a golden tree,
twanging a harp with golden strings.
Thy cherubiz face encrimsoned with
a forgiving smile and upon thy mas
sive and swelled head wearing acrown
of gold, glittering and sparkling in the
pure light of your own benevolence
like a frozen waterfall in the sun's rays.
In other words, Euclid, we will see you
later. Charles Grimes.

Are ye plumes from angels' wings.
Gauzy, golden, feath'ry things,
Are ye plumes from angels' wings
Are ye strains the angels eung
Long ago, when time was young.
And they roamed the hills among r
Lives the Indian's beacon tire,
Telling tribes of conflict dire.
In jour slender golden spire
Are ye deeds of kindness done
By some lowly, faithful one.
Into golden blossoms spun
Does the old earth, full of years.
Full of cares and full of tears.
Care for ear-drops in her ears?
When the bright sun sinks to rest
Over yonder in the west
Do you creep from out his nest?
Fancies, all, oh Golden Rod,
Sceptre in the hands of God,
Giving Peace unto the sod !

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 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
Killer. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.
Very respectfully,
