Falls City has an elhbryosculp-
tor. "l'he ether day he made a
snow man that was an exact im-
agc of his father , but when he
told the old man so he got a lie1\- :

many discouragements. . .

An acquaintance of ours has a
unique alarm clock. On each
side of his bed is a box , and in
each box is a full grown tom cat.
When the hands on the clock
reach the desired point , the doors
of the boxes are opened by an ingenious -
genious electrical contrivance and
the cats are liberated. Then the
man wakes up.
\Ve received a letter the other
day , type-wrtten on superfine
stationery , bearing a beautifully
lithographed heading. The let-
ter was from what was purported
to be a large manufacturing corporation -
poration , and began by offering
us a position as manager of a
local branch The work involved
would not be worth mentioning ,
and the salary would be princely
As we read the letter , we pictured
ourselves sitting behind a mahogany -
any desk dictating letters to a
flaxen-haired stenographer : with
soft , dreamy eyes and a voice
like the rippling waters in the
gladsome spring ; pausing now
and then to issue orders to the
foremen in charge of the menials
and hireling We pictured our-
selves being called to the head
office by telegraph to assume the
presidency of the corporation ,
and we saw our picture in the
magazines illustrating an article
on , "Capt.ains of Industry. " But
by and by we came to the dosing
sentence which read , HBut of
course we shall expect you to take
at least one thousand dollars
worth of our stock- " \Ye read
no further and the visions van-
ished and nobody knows how . bad
we felt.
Acknowledgment.

Chamberlain in Cuba. .
Charles M. Chamberlain , the
defaulting cashier of the defunct
Chamberlain banking house of
Tecumseh has been up to his old
tricks in Cuba according to the
Havana , Post. Chamberlain , who
had assumed the name of Charles
IVI. Clark , secured money to the
amount ef S500 from a friend ,
under the pretense of buying land
and then set sail for Tampal1'la. ,
without notifying his friend of
his intentions. The fact that
Chamberlain has come to the
United States , may be his undo-
ing as there is a reward of $1,200
for his return to Tecumseh.
Died on the Train .
Rev. 1. . C. Downs , a presiding
elder of the v1. E. church south ,
died aboard Burlington freight
No. 67 , between this city and
Preston Monday morning. Re\
Downs , , whose hume was in Kan-
sas City , Kas" , had preached at
Preston on Sunday and boarded
the train at Preston , apparently
in good health. Before the train
had proceeded far he was stricken
with heart failure and died al-
most instantly. When this city
was reached the body was removed -
moved from the the train and
taken to Resterer Bros. ' under-
taking establishment. Coroner
Reneker held an inquest which
brought : out the fact from papers
found on the dead man's person ,
that he had been taking treat-
ment for heart failure and evi-
dently feared sudden death as he
carried an identification card.
His wife was notified . and the
body sent to Kansas City , Kas. ,
for interment. The deceased was
about sixty-two years of age and
leaves a wife and daughter.

John Jenkins of Stella had bus-
