"Did you ever hear of a piano de tective ? " The city hall detective scratched bis head reflectively and then was com pelled to admit that he had never heard of such an individual. "Well , there are a dozen or more of them in Philadelphia , aud they make good money , too. "Their work is simple. You sec , a great many piano firms sell instru ments on the installment plan. That Is. the purchaser pays say $50 down on a $500 or $ GOO instrument and agrees to make good the remainder at so much a month. By far the greater number of such purchasers are as honest as the day is long , but once in a while a man conies along whose little scheme is to move out the piano a day or two after -it is delivered and sell it for a couple of hundred. . "It is thu business of tiie piano de tective to circumvent this sort of thing. As a rule , some suspicious movement on the part of the would-be defrauder of the piano dealer causes him to be placed under suspicion. The dealer can't step in and take his instrument away under the contract , and the only thing he can do is to watch it. Here is where the piano detective comes in. He hovers around the house in which the suspected purchaser lives , night mid day , watching any attempt to make way with the piano. Usually three or four weeks are long enough to settle the question one way or an other. If the piano buyer is crooked he is practically certain to make some sort of a move before the expiration of that time. If he doesn't it is pretty safe presumption that the suspicion is groundless and the piano detective is called off by his employer , with no one but himself and two or three others the wiser. But the precaution is a necessary one. " Cincinnati Enquirer. iioy : iVsiy. .

Alvin Satinders , Ex-Governor of this State , Passes Away at His Home in Omaha "Was a Personal Friend v 'oi' Abraham Liincoln. Ex-Gov.Alvin Suiijders : < licclat4 o'clock on the morning of Nov. I at his home on Sherman Avenue. Omaha , at ( lie age of 85 years. He passed - ajvay easily and nat urally and his death teemed to the mem bers of the family gathered around the bedside as 'though lie had merely gone from perfect consciousness into a gentle sleep. Gov. Saunders' end had been ex pected almost hourly for ten days. His strength first began failing about six months ago , when his heart showed signs of giving out , and the members of the fam ily knew that his death could not be long delayed. Only once or twice since then lias lie been able to leave the house for a drive with his physician or a1 turn in a wheel chair. In spile of his extreme age anil his physical infirmities he has had full posses sion of his mental faculties and continued so until within a fe\v moments of his death. The governor's wife , his daughter , Mrs. Ilussell I ) . Harrison ; his son , Charles L. Sauii'lers , and his physician , Dr. Ilan- clietl , were present when he passed away. He was perfectly rational until within a few moments oi. his death. Alvin iSaunders was a native of Fleming County , Kentucky , where he was born July 12,1817. Go.vernor Saunders' death removes one more of tlie few surviv ors whose lives connect with the early history of the middle west , lie was largely instrumental in the nomination of Abraham Lincoln , his personal friend , as president and was closely associated witli many other prominontxmen of the nation in his day. He was appointed territorial governor of Nebraska March 2(5 ( , 18(31 ( , by President Lincoln. He served t\vo terms of territorial governor. In 1SG7 the ad mission of Nebraska to the union termi nated Gov. Saunders' gubernatorial office , but in 18G3 lie was elected a delegate to the national republican convention which nominatc.1 Grant and Colfax. In 1870 lie was elected for the long term to represent Nebraska in the United States Senate. Governor Saunders was one of the earli est and most enthusiastic advocates.of a transcontinental railway and in his first message to the" territorial legislature in 1S01 , he said : "A mere glance at the map of the country will convince every intelli gent mind that the great Platle valley , which passes through the heart , and runs nearly through the entire length of Nebraska , is to become the route of the great central railway that is to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific states and territories. " When the bill that authorized the organ ization of a company to build the road was passed by congress Governor Saunders was made one of the incorporalors and his prophecy was realized when construction was actually begun , Dec. 2 , 18G3. Nebraska Miner Dies at Sea. Dr. K. D. McKean of Columbus has re ceived intelligence that his cousin , Lemuel Casturline , died and was buried at sea July 16 when only two days out from St. Michaels. Casturline had been in the Klondike country two years and was re turning with a few thousand dollars on his person. He became ill and died within a fesv hours and from all appearances it is believed that he was poisoned , as only about one-fourth of his money could be found when the matter was investigated by the captain of the vessel. He was waited on in his berth by a couple of com panions , who decamped as soon as the boat touched at Seattle. Fanners Need Men.
