Frank Tobin , a paroled convict , is th <
man who assaulted and shot Mrs

is still alive , identified Tobin as her as

very much smitten with Mrs. Hinkk
when she was Miss Addie Edwards

gay her brother sent a couple of loads

Axothkk claimant for the reward o :
§ 1,000 offered by the Rock Island foi
the arrest and conviction of the partj
or parties guilty of causing the Sail
ereek wreck near Lincoln in August ,
1894 , has come into court. This i ;
Lewis R .yan , one of the witnesses , whe
testified to seeing a negro man neai
the trestle on the night before the
wreck. Ryan claims that his informa
tion led to .the arrest and conviction oi
G. W. Davis , the colored man. There
are two other claimants and the whole
matter will have to be settled in the
courts.
A special session of the district
court of Dodge county convened last
week , Judge Marshall presiding , for
the purpose of trying the case of Caroline
line Stoecks against the Elkhorn com
pany. This is the second one of the
large number of cases which were
commenced last fall by citizens of
Dodge whose property was destroyed
by the big-fire there in September last
to recover .damages against the com
pany. Theifirst case on the list was
tried last January and resulted in a
verdict for the defendant. An appeal
to the supreme court was taken.
Couxti' Commissioner C. R. Clark ,
of Polk county , met with a painfuf ac
cident the other day that will lay him
aside for some time. One of his neigh
bor ' s boar .pigs went .down to Clark's
pen and while there ran across his
boar and of course they had to have a
pitched battle. Clark thought that
his boar was getting a little the worst
of it and undertook to separate them ,
when one of the hogs turned and snap
ped Mr. Clark in the right leg , tearing
out the flesh and mustle to the bone
and it was accessary .to take quite a
number ofstitches .to close up the
wound.
A tramp applied 'to > L. .P. Main of
Kenwood for breakfast the other
morning and he looked so forlorn and
hollow that the lawyer decided to fill
him up. He told the cwanderer to hoe
up the potatoes in the garden , however ,
so that there should be.no question as
to his appetite. The tramp , either
through ignonrace or .malice afore-
thouirhtduir up all the .potatoes and
neatly piled the vines. The tramp got
his breakfast on the strength of his
proud intentions , but the next time Col.
Main employs one of his genus he will
put hjin to breaking stone , or some
: > ueh familiar occup.ition.
Govkhxoi : HoLfOMB has received the
letter , made public through the press ,
referring to Tennessee ' s generous do
nation of a block of mar.ble intended
to be used in making n statue of Abra-
iiam Lincoln. This was the purpose
[ or which it was donated to the state
jf Nebraska by the state of Tennessee
Lhrouirh Governor Turner. It comes
is a testimony of respect which the
people of rJ ennessee have for the mem-
jry of the martyred president. The
srehentation of tiie marble to Governor
l'urney at Knoxville seems to have
Deen celebrated with all sincerity and
; he letter received by Governor Hol-
: oinb.notifying him of the shipment of
.he block is kind and generous. The
itone will be thankfully received by
; tate authorities and there is taJk of
iskinir the next legislature to make an
tppropriation for the employment of a
ompetent sculptor.
From figures in the state auditor ' s
iffice an interesting showing is made
is to the decrease in the assessed valu-
LtioK of the state. Sixteen counties
lave ( nude reports on the 1S9G assess *
nenr valuation. In these the reduc-
ion ae compared with 1S9.1 is SI. 18. i.000.
n four of these counties there is an in-
rease of 593,000 , making a net de
rease in the sixteen of 51.002.000. At
he same ratio of decrease the whole
late will fall off § 0,500.000. The total
aluation of taxable property in 18P3
rac $ U 4.0OO.000 : in 1894 , S183.000.000. 1
Lstirniited valuation for 1S9G is S1G4.- t
00,000. The railroad assessment ltaa i
ear was the came as in 1S9j.

MR. GALLINGER'S FIGURES
The Teller-Duliols-Mautlc-Cannon-Cnrte
Combine EHcoly to Ho Strengthened
by Ksltlicnl fiilvci Kenora
Colorado , Utah and Other
States , and ISo Abl'e to
Hlock the Tariff.
Concord , N. ET. , June 29. Unitec
States Senator Gallinger said yester
day : ' * 1 fear for Republican control o
the benate. The full senate nov
numbers ninety members , and weshal
need forty-six for a majority , though
inasmuch as the existing vacancy ii
Kentucky will continue until 189'J , w <
can get along during the next con
gress with forty-five. We have nov
lorty-four senators who are nominally
Republicans , but of these , five Sen
ators Teller , Dubois , Carter , Manth
sind Cannon refused to act with us ir
the passage of the Dingley emergency
tariff last winter , and I suppose we mus' '
now add to them Senator Pettigrew o :
South Dakota , because he left the St.
Louis convention with other seceders ,
This reduces us to thirty-eighl
straightout Republicansjwho are foi
protection , as against protection yoked
with free silver , and we shall need
seven more to enable us to pass th (
revenue bill , which the country de
mands. Some of our gains are already
made , as in Maryland and Ohio , and
we shall elect in. Nv York , Illinois
and Wisconsin. This will give us
forty-three , or two short of a major
ity. Among our danger spots we
must include North Carolina Sena
tor Pritchard's seat is likely to be lost ,
because he was first chosen by a fusion
movement , which prooably will bt :
hard to effect again. In Dta'- also ,
there is danger of losing fecnatot
Brown , who refused to act with the
silver men in deadlocking tne Dingley
bill , and who now has been confronted
with an issue in his light for reelection
tion , which will either defeat or cause
him to coalesce with Senator Cannon
in a policy of opposition. In Colorado
Senator Wolcott ; s in similar danger ,
as he has been subject to venomous
criticism because he would not go so
far as Senator Teller in his devotion
to the white metal. Add to this the
not altogether remote chance of los
ing a Republican Senator in North
Dakota and California , and the claims
of the Democrats that we cannot elect
in either Kansas or Illinois , and the
outlook is not rosy. I must admit
that 1 cannot now satisfactorily out
line the method by which we shall be
able to hold the Senate for a protec
tive tariff without a free silver rider. "
FILIBUSTER SHIPS SEIZED.
Two Noted Ciiliau Vessels Kno Down
by a Revenue Cutter.
Kky West , Fla. , .June 2 . The fili
bustering steamers Three Friends and
Citv of J'ichmond were brought here
last night by prize crews of the United

day night with a large quantity of
arms and supplies for the Cubans and
the Three Friends slipped out of Jack
sonville ten days ago with supplies
for the rebels.
No one is allowed to board either of
the vessels , but it is supposed that the
Three Friends landed the supplies
taken from .Jacksonville and was trying -
ing to get those on the City of Richmond
mend when both were overhauled by
the Winona. The captures created
great excitement here , a great crowd
gathering on the wharf and Cubans
and Americans alike expressing deep
indignation.
What will be done with the two
seized vessels is not yet known , but it
is believed that both will be confis
cated by the United States govern

From the Wave , Odell , Nebranka. j
A reporter of the Wave having J
heard of the great faith Mr. and Mrs. • <
I. O. Drace. of Odell , Nebraska , have- ,
lu the curative properties of Dr. Wil- /
llama * Pink Tills for Pale People , determined - j
termined to see the partlcn in person. *
and ascertain the truth of the reports. ,
With that purpose In vlejv tt drive- ,
was taken to their tine farm a few
miles west of town , where Mrs. Bruce J
was found busily engaged In assisting- %
her husband make wlro fence. No
doubt noticing our surprise , she apolo
gized , saying "that the children were
old enough to be of much help with tho-
liousework , and she thus had time to *
assist her husband.
"But Is it possible that you have recovered - '
covered so as to do work requiring the
constant use of your arm . without ,
suffering ? " asked the reporter.
This question elicited the following
wonderful story : "I do not wonder
that you tire surprised , uuid Mrs. j
Brace , for as every one In this vicinity • |
knows for several years I was nearly
crippled and suffered constantly from ,1
rheumatism. AVhen I first felt the attack - I
tack I got medicine from a local phy- 1
slclan , but instead of getting better \
1 grew worse , until I suffered Intense | "i
agony , which no one who has not had {
the dread disease can understand. Irt
hopes of relief , leading physicians ln. <
other towns were consulted , and they' J
*
all agreed In pronouncing It a severe j .
case of muscular rheumatitun , and as 1
their prescriptions were taken month '
after month without beneficial results , ,
they ceased to give encouragement , 1
and said that I was gradually becom
ing paralyzed. '
"I had by that time become so crippled - ,
pled that I had to give up all wotk ,
and the only way I could carry my
right arm was in an upright position.
Any attempt to lower it caused ex
cruciating pain. Constant sufft-rSng-
caused general debility , and life seemed. 1
too great a burden to bear It is said. ! ,
a drowning man will catch at a straw , .
and so it was in my case , as I read a j
testimonial in a newspaper f happened |
to pick tip , of a case similar to mine , 1
which had been cured by Pink 1-MIh X
for Pale People , and I determined to > 't '
give them a trial. j
"I admit my faith waa weak , for I
had always been prejudiced against ' .
so-called patent medicines , but by the *
: time 1 had taken three boxea the relief
was so apparent that I determined to-
continue their use. In a few weeks rny
general health improved , and I could
move my arm without dlfliculty. and' , '
by the time ten boxes Iiad been used r
felt better than I had' for years , and I
can now say with confidence that 1 ; um
cured. I always keep the pills In the
house and take a box of them every
spring as a blood purifier , and at any | , '
time that 1 take cold and f'iur a return w
of my old trouble. " T
Continuing , Mrs. Brace said : "I jjve- f I
all the credit of my recovery to Dr. J
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People , 1 M
and both my husband and I shall always - " J
ways be ready to speak In their praise.
We tell our neighbors on every ot-ca- i
sion of their virtues , and if you think : A
this is sufllelfnt Interest we will bf glad m
to have this testimonial made public , . T
hoping that it may be of benefit to- 1
those who otherwise would he lifc-lcng- /
sufferers. " / •

To confirm her story beyond alt
doubt , Mrs. Brace made affidavit. ' - |
