BED CLOUD, NEUIlASICA Thcro are more newspapers published in Iowa, In proportion to its population, than In any other atuto of tho Union. There la a terrible coercion In our deeds which may first turn the honcat man Into a deceiver, nnd then recon die him to tho change. Show mo tho mnn you honor. I know by that symptom better than any other what kind of a man you yourself are; for you show mo thcro what your Ideal of manhood Is, what kind of a man you lone inexpressibly to be. Ben Johnson. Mrs. Catherine Babcock of Washing ton, D. C, widow of Colonel Babcock, who .was a member of General Grant's staff, was committed to tho Govern ment Insano Asylum recently, to await an Investigation by tho court as to her sanity. Mrs. Babcock has tho Idea that somo ono Is going to steal the body of her daughter, burled In Baltimore, Md., and hold It for ran som. Some Austrlans living In Geneva roncelved tho project of placlcg a memorial tablet In the Qual du Leman, whero tho Empress Ellzabctn was as sassinated. Tho authorities, however, refused their permission on the ground that It would bo Improper to commera ortie the deed of a madman nnd help to preserve his name. In place of tho tablet, It Is now proposed to erect q chapel in honor of the Empress. Seventy-six vacancies exist in the Medical Department of the United States Army, for which there are comparatively few candidates. Young doctors on entering havo the rank and pay of a first lieutenant, and generally promotion Is moro rapid than in tho line of the service. It Is surprising that more applications should not be received, considering the salary and rank attaching to the places. The same troublo Is experienced with vacancies in the medical corps of the navy. It Is a familiar examplo of irony In tho degradation of words that "what a man Is worth" has como to mean how much money he possesses; but there seems a deeper and more mel ancholy Irony in tho shrunken mean ing that popular or polite speech as signs to "morality" and "morals." Tho poor part these words are made to play recalls the fates of thooo pagan divinities who, after being understood .to rule tho powers of tho air and the destinies' of men, came down to the level of Insignificant demons, or were oven made the farcical show for amusement of the multitude. Although without knowledge of sur gery, Theodore Austin, aged sixteen, probably saved his own life tho other day by the application of a little prac tical knowledge. Tho boy was work ing at home In Philadelphia, when ho ran his hand through a pane -of glaBa and severed an artery In his wrist. He started for the hospital, but had not gono far before ho realized that It would not do to wait to havo the flow of blood stopped. He bound his hand kerchief tightly around his wrist, above the cut, and by sticking a pen cil through the knot, Improvised ti tourniquet by which ho succeeded In twisting tho handkerchief until tho end f tho severed artery was closed. Dr. E. W. Allen, assistant superin tendent of experiment stations, con ducted by the Agricultural Depart ment, has returned to Washington, after a ten Weeks' tour of Inspection of the stations In Alaska. Dr. Allen reports that all the hardy vegetables are being grown there and he predicts that the time will come when Alaska will grow a sufficient supply of them. He also says that wheat, oats, barley and rye have been matured at tho sta tions, and he thinks It practicable to raise beef for the home market. He says there Is considerable Inquiry for land along the coast from people liv ing In Northern Europe, and thinks the time wll' come when many of them will find moro comfortablo homes there than tbey now have. According to Dr. Rljnhart, tho med ical attentions lavished on invalids In Thibet are of a very primitive char acter. For headache, large sticking plasters are applied to tho patient's head and forehead; for rheumatism, a needle Is often burled tn the arm or shoulder; a tooth Is extracted by ty ing a string to It and jerking It out, sometimes bringing out a part of the Jaw at the same time; a sufferer with stomach ache may be subjected to a good pounding, or to the application of a piece of wick Boaked In burning butter grease, or, If medicine Is to bo taken Internally, It will consist prob ably of a piece of paper on which a prayer 1b written, rolled In the form of a pellet; and, It this falls to produco the desired effect, another pellet Is ad ministered composed of tho bones of some pious priest. At a demonstration held on Lam bourne Common a resolution was pass ed calling upon Colonel Lockwood and others to remove tho obstructions to the public right of way on about 100 acres of forest land. A procession numbering about 600 persons was afterwards formed and the fences on Colonel Lock wood's- land were forc ibly removed. About thirty of the Es Bex police, under Supt. Womack, wore present, but showed great forbearance, and the object of the demonstration was accomplished. Procsedtngs will be taken for damages and trespass. X5he Sccmrge ofDriYscrus Copyrighted IMI by CHAPTER. XIX. (Continued.) He had taken her hand nnd wan raising It to his lips; but she sud denly drew It from him. "No! no! no!" cho murmured. "Pardon, lady. 1 meant no offense." The tone was ono of grief. "Oh Julian! Julian! Leave me not yet!" She rested her freed hand upon his arm and gazed up into his face. Her eyes were streaming with team nnd her bosom heaved convulsively. "Lady-Ulln!" "Julian! O, In this hour of helpless ness nnd need I turn to thee with nil my trust nnd faith. If the love of this poor heart Is worth tho cherishing, tako It, and keep It always. I havo no power I hnve no choice. Tho light of thy face, beaming In love upon me, reveals to jnc that I am bound to- thee by chains which I cannot break." 8ho reBtcd her head upon his bosom; and he, winding his stout arms about her, pressed her to his heart as a treas ure tho most precious thu earth could bestow. The sun sank lo its evening rest, nnd tho shades of twilight deepened over tho river and over tho grove. The stars came out, ono by one, In their celestial stations, and nnon the stiver moon, lifting Its face above tho hills of Hobah, cast Its soft light Into tho vale. Still the lovers sat beneath tho orange iree; and thcro they might havo sat late Into the night, had not Osmlr come to Interrupt them. What did the guard want at that hour and In that place. He sought his master. Julian urose and went to him and they whispered hurriedly togeth er; and then Ulln was sure that she heard the Arabs mentioned. "Ulln," said the chieftain, coming back and taking her hand, "you might go with me to tho cave. I am called In another direction." "What is it? You tremble. Ah, Julian there 1b danger." "No, no, sweet love; harbor not that fear. I go to ward off danger. O, I have something more than life to care for now." At this point Sellm came running up, all out of breath; but before ho could speak his master stopped him. "I understand, good Sellm. Osmlr has told me " "But my master" "In a moment. Watt till I como back." And thus speaking Julian led the maiden to th cave. "Excuse me now," he said, raising her hand to his lips. "I will be back shortly. You will not fear?" CHAPTER XX. A King's Story. -I Tho first person whom Ulln met After entering tho cave was Ezabel, who stood by a table upon which a lamp was burning. "My dear child, I was just coming In search' of you. We were anxious. What havo you been in tears? Ulln, what Is It? What has happened?" Tho maiden, in memory of the great event of the evening, forgot tho cause of fear that had been with her. It was a secret she could not keep a se cret she had no wish to keep; nnd resting her head upon Ezabel'B shoul der, sho told tno story of her love. "Dearest Ulln," said the aged ma tron, kissing the maiden upon the brow, "ho Is worthy of the trust you havo reposed In him!" At that moment Albla come In from tho grove wnere she had been In search of her mistress; and very soon see, too, had heard the story. She gazed Into Ultn's face a moment, and then, trlth a tear glistening In her eye, she murmured: "I shall be very happy now, for henceforth I can serve and love you both!" As Albla spoke, and before any reply could be made, Julian came hurrying into the cave. Ho was much excited nnd Ben Hadad saw a fear upon his face such as had never been seen there before. "My son," spoke the hermit, "what means this? Your manner betokens danger." "And there Is danger," cried tho young chieftain, moving. Instinctively to Ultn's side. "I fear that I havo been much to blame. 1. should have been warned by tho words of Osmlr auU" Sellm. Those two Arabs have evident ly discovered our abiding place." "Well arid what then?" asked Ben Hadad. "I think tuey have brought a largo force against us." "What of Arabs? Do they mean to rob us?" "Perhaps," suggested Abla, "they hope to recapture what they have lost." Ulln movod to Julian's Bide, and leaned upon his stout arm. He kissed her upon the brow and bade her be of good courage; and then he said to the others, in answer to what had been suggested: "I fear the truth has not yet been hit If tho Arabs are coming, as I apprehend, there may be another solu tion to the problem. Those two ras cals who escaped us could easily have followed us to this place. Wo were not looking for such a thing, and so did not guard against It. They knew that tho maiden who had been snatched from them was the daughter of the king's prime minister; and may they not have known that she was the king's affianced? At all events. It is not unreasonable to suppose that they A Story of the Eo.st... SYLVNUS COBB. JR. atebert Bonner's Son. mny have anticipated some gain of re ward by carrying Intelligence to Aboul Casscm. If they havo done this, then they must nlso havo revealed tho whereabout of tho Scourgo of Damas cus." A low cry of pain from Ulln told how directly the fenr had touched her; nnd again her lover Bought to calm her. "Wo must leave this place," he Bald, "and seek shelter In tho wood. You and I nnd Albla will go, nnd the guards will Join us outside. I know whero thcro lb safety, so havo no fear. Should the rascals como they will not harm theso old people; they will not daro to do It." Ulln had drawn n mantle about hor Rhoulders, nnd Julian had turned to speak apart with Ben Hadad, when Osmlr came rushing into tho cave, with terror depicted most painfully upon his ebon feature. "They are coming!" he cried. "They havo sprung upon us from a hidden cover." Who arc coming?" "They ore tho king's soldiers, led by the captain, Benonl!" On the next Instant tho clash of arms was heard at. the entrance. "Back, back, sweet love," said Ju lian, gently pushing the maiden to wards her chamber. "There may yet be hope." . Ho grasped a sword as he spoke, and leaped toward the entrance; but bo was too late. Already a score of arm ed men were rushing In, a number of them bearing flaming torches in their hands, "Come, good Osmlr," the chieftain cried, bracing himself for the work. "Capture for us Is certain death. We can do no better than to sell our lives here." One two three four of the royal soldiers fell beneath tho llghtnlng-llko strokes of Julian's trenchant blade; and In the same time Osmlr had slain two; but it was not in the roll of fato that two were to overcome the force that came pouring Into tho cave. A flaming torch was hurled upon tho chieftain, and while ho staggered be neath tho blinding stroke ho was drawn over backwards' and his arms quickly pinioned. Tho next move ment was to secure Ulln and Albla, after which Ben Hadad and Ezabel were taken. "Will you lay violent hands upon mo?" demanded the hermit. "I am ordered to bring you all be fore the king," replied Benonl; "all whom I might find In this cave. I mean to offer you no harm, bo if you havo complaint to make, save It for those who command me." While tho captain waa searching other apartments, to see If more pris oners were to be found, Julian felt a hand laid upon his shoulder, and on looking up he beheld Judah. "So, my noblo chieftain, you are fast once more. The guard played us false, it seems, and 1 came near losing my head In consequence; but my royal master will pardon me when he sees you again." CHAPTER XXI. Innocence of Helen. The king of Damascus had grown very old and very Bour within those last few days. Rago and chagrin had so shaken his' frame that he seemed stricken with palsy; and his voice, from Its howllngs and moanings, had become hoarse and cracked. But he had promise of sweet revenge. His soldiers were upon the track of the fugitives', and he believed they would bring them back. O, how he would gloat over the sufferings of his vic tims when they came within his power! "I tell thee, Aboul Cassem," he Bald, addressing his minister, "the fair, frail ulln mubt sutler ror this, sne is no .longer your chtld; I nhall not regard her as such. Aboul bowed his head, and answered that ho was content. Omar could not help noticing that his friend was In trouble, and ho took tho liberty to ask what bad gono wrong. "Alas!" cried Horam, "everything goes wrong." And ho told how ho had put away all his wives for the daugh ter of Aboul Cassem, and how sho had betrayed him and fled from him. And then ho told how he had once captur ed his dreaded enemy, the Scourge of Damascus, and how tho prize had slipped through his fingers by means of tho treachery of his slaves. "By my life," exclaimed Omar, "you have been most sorely afflicted." "But the worst Is' yet to be told," pursued Horam, clenching his .hands, nnd gnashing his teeth. "The robbsr and the lady Ulln went off on the. same night, and I havo every reaBon to believe that she corrupted my slaves to set him free. In fact, I am euro she did. I think they will bo all within my power by tomorrow. 0, Omar, you have known much of my sorrow. I havo grown old slnco we laBt mot very old. Tn years I am but tho passing of two harvests ahead of you; but In trial and trouble I have left you far behind. The last time you were In Damascus tho first great trial of my lite came upon me. You remem ber It." "Of what do you Bpeak?" "Why of my wife of the first wife I ever bad of her whom I made my queen." "Do you mean tho Lady TIelena?" "To bo sure I do. Mercy! havo you forgotten?" "No," said Omar, shaking his hen, "I remember Helena very well. Sho was tho most bautltul woman I ever saw." "And ns falso ns sho wob beauti ful," added Horam. "Is It possible? I did not think sho would como to that." "How!" exclaimed tho king of Da mascus. "Docs your memory fall you?" "What mean you, Horam? My mem ory is good." "Then why do you wonder when I speak of tho faithlessness of my first queen? Waa It not yourself that gave to mo tho proofs of hor Infidelity? Did you not show to mo that she had fallen?" "You speak In riddles," said tho king of Aleppo. "I remember that wo onco suspected tho young queen of bo stowlng her love upon a captain of your guard I think hla namo was Ja bal." "Yes," responded Hornm. "Jnbal wab1 the man, nnd I Blew him. It was your evldenco that convicted both him and Hclonn." "And was the queen guilty after that?" "Guilty after that?" repented Ho ram, slowly and Irresolutely. "What mean you? Do you Imagine that I allowed her to llvo to commit more crime?" "In mercy's name," cried Omar, "what do you mean by this speech7 Do you remember Sanballad and Ben Huram?" "Yes," replied Horam. "They were two of my chamberlains, who accom panied you to Aleppo at the time of which we havo spoken." "No," said Omar, "they did not quit go to Aleppo. I sent them back bs foro I reached my capital. Thaf brought to you my message?" "I never saw them again after they wont away with you," returned Ho ram. "Never saw them. Good spirits of mercy! Are you In earnest, Horam?" "Aye. If they started on their return, they must have been robbed and kill ed, for I never saw them after they left In your retinue." Tho king of Aleppo clasped his hands In agony. "O, Horam! Horam!" ho exclal-ned, "what a fearful mistake was that! Bear with me forgive me!" "What Is It. Omar?" "Your beautiful queen was Inno cent!" "Innocent!" gasped Horam, starting to his feet, nnd then sinking back again. "YeB, my brother," replied Omar, In trembling tones, "sho was as Innocent as In that natal hour when first she rested upon her mother's bosom. At Balbce we found a woman whom some of my officers brought before me supposing her to be the queen of Da mascus. She was very beautiful, and so nearly did she resemble the queen, Helena, that even I was at first de ceived. Her namo was Jasmin, and she told me that she had just fled from Damascus and was waiting for her lover to Join her. Sho said that Jabal waB her lover, and that he was a captain of Hornm's guard. Tho truth flashed upon mo In a moment. I conversed with her until I had gained her whole Btory; and then I knew that your queen was Innocent. It was all proved to me, ns clear as the sun at noonday. At first I had n thought of returning myself, nnd bearing to you tho Joyful tidings; but business urged me on, and I sent Sanballad and Ben Huram." "And they, did not come!" uttered Horam, with his hands working ner vously In his bosom. "They did not come and my queen died." "God forgive me!" ejaculated Omar. "I would have given my own life Horam!" (To be continued.) What He Might Do. The custom of preserving the busi ness name of a firm years after the founders have passed away or disap peared finds Its reproof In a story re lated by the New York Evening Post. A young man who was Bent out to canvass leading lawyers In a certain Interest, entered tho office of a firm of areat nromlnenco and said: "I should like to see Mr. M. " mentioning the first name of the firm. "Very sorry, sir, but Mr. M. has been dead threo years," was tho answer. "Well, In that cnBe I should like to see Mr. N." tho second name of tho firm. "Mr. N. retired from the Arm over a year .... - lit. . v ago," saiu tno cier wiin a biuu. iu deed; then may I see Mr. O." the last name of the three. "Mr. O.," replied the clerk, "sailed last week for Eu rope, and won't be back for a month yet; Is there anything I can do for you?" "There 1b," answered tho can vasser, with the utmost suavity; "some day when you have time you might bring the Arm name up to date." Are not all truo men that live or that ever lived soldiers of the same army, enlisted under heavra'a cap taincy, to do battlo against th same enemy the empire of Darkness and Wrong? Why should wo mlsknow one another, fight not against the ene my, but against outselves, from moro difference of uniform? Carlyle. Read not much at a time, but medl tato on what you read, as much as your time, capacity and disposition will give you leave, ever remembering that llttlo reading and much thinking, little speaking and much hearing, fre auent and short prayers, and great de votion, is the best way to be wise, to be holy, to be devout.

ALLEGED HORSETIIIEF IS A YOUNG GIRL "Urrt Mnrtln" Contacted ns a Mnn for llonn Ntenllng Turns Out to IS Lena Mnrtl n llml Male Cellmate .Notei For eleven months n woman 1ms boon, imprisoned in the Nebraska peniten tiary garbed ns a man. She was tried, couvictcd and sentenced in Keya Palm county on the charge of horse Bleating all the time dressed in man's gaab, and sho passed the scrutiny of tho guards at the entrance to the prison eleven months ngo with tho secret of her sex preserved. Now sho is onco more garbed in women's clothing and in this dress, she will spend the remainder of her three year sentence. That such an unusal occurrence could happen considering thu gauntlet every person admitted to the penitent iary must run ncciiis Incrcdnble. Yet the discovery of tho hex was not made till about two days ago by the pris on authorities. The woman's real name is Lena Mavtln but she has been known as Hurt Martin and under this name sho has gone for many years. Her father Is dead but her mother re sides not far from Sprlugvicw. She was sentenced for rustling horses and when she came down to Lincoln she had the reputation of being good at "borrowing" animals. Tho convict Martin has always regarded as of rath er delicate constitution. He had small feet and small hands. His face was like that of a young boy as he was only nineteen years old when admitted. He was five feet, eight inches in height and weighed 140 pounds. He was cm ployed in the broom factory and per formed his duties as well as the ordi nary prisoner. How she came to be admitted to tho penitentiary without detection as to sex is a mystery. Usually the exam ination of new entries is close enough to prevent such an occurrence. Tho discovery was made through some gcntlo hints made by other convicts. As soon as the discovery was made the prison officials served suitable clothing for her. She will serve out tho balance of her term of three years In the woman's ward. COLUMBIA AN OCEAN GEM Hants the Gallant Hhatnrock la m Race Foil of Kxcltement.
