Circle for Straight Vote Will Appear Five Times. lrrom Monday's Daily. TUB Niws this morning commenced on the ballots for Madison county , the copy for them having boon retained un til today by County Clerk Winter because - cause of rumors of changes. The eight days allowed for any such changes con templated closed with today and there is 110 longer an opportunity to change the { personnel of the ticket should such change be desired. There has been some question about the form of the bal lot at the head whore the circles are pro- videdjfor o straight party vote. The sam ple sent out by the secretary of state provided for but one circle for the two fusion parties. It was shown that in Borne counties where there was no fus ion it would be impossible for either of the parties to use the circle to indicate a Btraight party vote as it could not bo told whether the voter desired to reg ister for the democratic or peoples independent - dependent ticket. The secretary of Eteto compromised the matter by leaving it in the discretion of the county clerks. Mr. Winter desired that the ballots for Madison county be printed with the two circles , one after the democratic nud one after the peoples independent jparty at the head of the ticket. Al though there is very complete fusion here , there are ROIIIO candidates In the county whoso vote might bo nffuotod by he tine of but one olrulo and to take no chances Mr. Winter ordered that the wo circles be used , There has boon no ohango in the rep resentative ticket Hlnco the convention. L. Putney's munu appears us the republican candidate , and the name of T. K. Mommtngor , who wan nominated > y the democrats and populists , appears n that capacity. D. J. Koonigsteln's name Is on as the fusion candidate for Htato sonitor , and that of II. 3. Daniel ippoars In the place of Mr , KoonlKstoin is fusion candidate for county attorney The balance of the ticket Is the sixmo an doomed by the various conventions with the possible exception of a few minor precinct offices , PROF.

Mrs. Edward Milluor , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lovl Boomer of tills city , loft this morning for Denver , Col. whore she goes to care for her husbaud who bai been giving hypnotic exhibi tions under the name of Prof. Moxie Ho lies in n Denver hospital in n dan gerous condition from wounds received at a town west of Colorado's ohlof city It will bo remembered that an oxhibl tion was glvou by him in Norfolk some time ago. The story of how ho received his injuries is told by n special under date of September 28 : "Prof. Moxie , the hypnotist , was she and fatally wounded last night in Hurry Downs' gambling rooms by a man by the name of Harry Gates of Sioux City , Iowa. It seems that Gates made some remarks In regard to Prof Moxlo's wife , who It is claimed b , Moxie , Is at Ft. Washlklo , Wyo , Moxie slapped Gates' faoo than drawing a knife told Gates that ho was going t kill him If ho did not take back hi words. Gates apologi/.ed and loft the room but returned in a few minute and fired two shots at Moxie , one taking ell'eot in his loft shoulder and the secant through his hip. Little hope is outer tniuod of his recovery. Gates has fie and has not yet boon captured. Prof Moxie seems to bo a perfect goutlomau Neither of the men wore _ under the in lluonco of liquor. " Itsooms that'Mrs. Millnor has bu just learned of the condition of her bus hand , who it is feared cannot live long and took this morning's train to bo iv his bedside , doing what she can for h who defended her at his own loss. Homo of Mrs. Box Robbed. Some housebreaker must have senu Mrs. George W. Box , of 1)01) ) Jackson street , put $13.75 on a shelf of her cup board Wednesday night for when Mrs Box wont to got the money yesterday i was gone. The screen door had boon torn opei md the kitchen door had been forced Uesidos that the kitchen girl had soei suspicious persons about the house tin night before. " 1 have little doubt , " said Mrs. Bo : yesterday , "that when I put that money away I was observed by burglars. Th curtains were up and persons on th outside could have soon uio easily. On of the boarders had just paid 1110 tin money. It is very evident that they know whore the money was for they dis turbed nothing else in the house. " When Mrs. Box returned home about 1) ) o'olcck Wednesday night Miss Keith , who bos a room above the kitchen , told her of two men whom she had soon in the alley acting suspiciously and when Mrs. Box opened the house at 0 o'clock in the morning she found the screen door and kitohou door in the suspicions condition stated. She did not discover her loss , however , until the butcher came about 8 o'clock. When she went for the money to pay him she found it not. not.Tho The theft was reported to the police at once. Sioux City Journal. Reason for the Alarm. The fire company is as often called for imaginary dangers as real ones. A bucket of water often extinguishes the fire before their arrival. Their duty to bo at the fire is never questioned. To those in front of the bla/.o on the hill Thursday at the time the alarm was turned in the danger seemed im minent. The roaring of the ( lames , the smoke , and the wind coming with such a velocity as to give the appearance of the fire being in the cornfield directly adjoining the barns. Had it boon there the time spent in "ascertaining the cause" would have been fatal to the barns and horses. The property owners thank the fire company for the prompt response and assure them that under the same cir cumstances they would receive another cell notwithstanding the "cost ot the city. " W. H.

QUARREL OVER A CARD GAME Man Who Did the Cutting Was a Stranger and Disappeared Soon After the Affray Stranger's Hand Also Cut. What came very oloso to being a BOO- md edition of the sensation of ton days igo when George Ilodgos , colored had its throat out from oar to ear , took place .11 the city Saturday night , and Joe 'hlpps , the colored hostler , was the vie 1m , Ills assailant being n stranger who ms boon working on the gas line ex cavations , who claimed Battle Crook as its homo. Phipps' throat was out and the knife used to do the cutting barely nissod severing his jugular \oiti. The trouble grow out of a game of cards in which three were engaged. It s said that Phipps won some of the stranger's money and that the stranger then asked him to sot up the drinks. This Phipps' refused to do and his ro fmal drew some hot words from the stranger , for which ho was struck by Phipps , The stranger thou drew kulfo and In the scrimmage the colored man's throat was out and the hand of ho stranger also sustained n severe out. Thinking that ho had out Phipps fatally the stranger gathered up his personal belongings and loft the city by the shortest possible routo. Phipps Mod freely from his wound , but after having it dressed by a physi clan is in a fair way to recover unless blood poisoning sots in. Ho was able to bo about as usual this morning and np poarod to bo very well fixed financially as a now suit of clothes and a now hat adorned his person. His physician suys that if the out had boon a quarter of an inch deeper , Phipps' jugular vein would have boon severed and ho might have bled to death. No arrests have yet boon made In con nection with the trouble. Both parties to the fight are probably very willing that it should bo allowed to go by de fault. BOWLING GAMES.

Slayer of Anna Broyorand Her Father Is Before Court. From Tuesday's Dally , The trial of Gottlieb Niegenfiud , the Pierce murderer , is on at Pierce before District Judge J. F. Boyd of Nellgh and much interest is being taken in the caso. The trial was called for 1:30 yesterday afternoon and the time up to the last reports was consumed in select ing a jury. The panel of 24 jurymen has been exhausted , BIX of thorn being discharged because they were opposed to capital punishment. The judge has issued an order for the sheriff to summon n veil- ire of 48 men to servo as jurymen. It la considered tLat it will bo very difll- cult to secure a jury as almost everyone In the vicinity of Pierce has formed an opinion regarding the case. Judge N. D. Jackson of Noligh is prosecuting , assisted by County Attor- oy II , F. Barnhardt of Piorco. The ofoiiHo will bo conducted by J. II. Jerryman of Crolghtou and Goo. T. lolloy of Plaiuviow. ' Nolgouflnd made quite a stir in court when ho appeared. Ho shows no effect f the wounds ho received during his aptnro and has lost the limp that was ausod by one of the wounds. Ho ap- team quite unconcerned regarding the utcomo of the trial and seems to fool onfldont of his acquittal. It Is considered that it will bo several days before the interesting phase of the jose is reached. A Modern Ursus. A dispatch from Fremont says : Frank Uohlliig , sou of Louis Uohllpg , a , voll known farmer residing in Logan township , in this county , has equalled the feat performed by Ursus , as related u "Quo Vodis. " Young Uohllug and his two brothers were driving a number of bulls along the road , when one of the animals broke ute a cornfield. Uohltug pursued the bnll and became separated from his brothers. After run iilng some distance , the angry animal Huddonly turned and charged upon the young man. Uohllug had no weapons and there was no time to run. He grasped the bull by the horns and an exciting struggle glo took placo. When his two brothers came running to the scouo , they found that Frank had sucoeodod in throwing the bull and was sitting on the nock of the prostrate aui mal , awaiting their arrival. The bnll was not injured , although it was evidently much surprised. Brace Up , Norfolk. Norfolk is doing a great injustice to itself and the neighboring towns by allowing gamblers and prostitutes the privilege of remaining undisturbed in that city. There is seldom a robbery committed unless the thieves can bo trac d to that town. Stantou and Pilger have had several robberies of late and two men who were living in Norfolk nro now in the penitentiary , sent there by the courts and keen-eyed officials of this county. It was a great expense , but our people must stand it because our sister city entertains liberal ( ? ) views regarding vice. The safo-blowers that worked at Pilger wore traced to Norfolk.

That cough , racking and persistent , ac companied by tightness in the chest and spitting of sticky mucus , is a sign of consumption. Common sense indicates the use of Aliens' Lung Balsam , an honest remedy since it contains no opium ; an efficient remedy , since it heals the irritated , inflamed throat and lungs , and so prevents a deep-seated cold from running into incurable forms of consumption.

TAKEN UP. One calf , atthe yards of Philbrick & Greenwood nt the factory. Owner is repuestod to call , pay charges and take said ostray away , Reports of a Man Seriously In jured Sunday Night. NO DIRECT INFORMATION. Officers Have Boon Investigating , but Could Learn Nothing Either a Hoax or the Injured Man Is Care fully Hidden by His Friends. It has boon persistently rumored that lomo man had received serious injuries between here and the Junction some- imo during Sunday night , but the case , f there is one , is shrouded in mystery. Officers were informed that a man had been sovorly injured in the yards at the Oroighton depot and an investigation was umdo at 2 o'clock yesterday morn- ng but the injured man was not found lor were there any clew to his where abouts. Later it was reported that a man , badly out and unconscious , was lying in ho Dawson barn in the outer edge of South Norfolk. Officers and a physi tan at once wont to the place indicated but the man had disappeared. One story in that he recovered his souses and proceeded down toward the rlvor and another is that ho was removed by com paulons or those responsible for his con ilition. A doctor could not bo found who had attended such a case , and the conclusion is either that the officers and others interested are victims of a iioax or that the injured man has been skilfully concealed. It is also stated that a doliverynian for one of the grocery houses has knowledge of the case ; that ho assisted in carrying the wounded person into a house and stated that ho was horribly mangled but the identity of the deliveryman is a sub ject for conjecture , The case is on a par with one at Sil ver Crook , where a man was fatally shot hrough the body below the shoulder but could not be induced to say any thing about himself or who might have boon responsible for his condition. He was soon earlinr in the day with another young man who was arrested at Colum bus , but he also is as mum as an oyster and the officers will have difficulty in probing into the case if they continue to maintain silence. The Norfolk offic ers haven't even this much of a clew , but something may bo developed later. Stops the Cough and Works off the Cold. Laxative Brome Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day.

For the benefit of those who have been caused n great deal of anxiety by a balky horse , lost trains as well as tempers and sometimes even ruined the horse , the next time they have the experience to run across a balky horse , no mutter how bad he Is , let me tell you how to start him ninety-nine times out of a hundred. Of course it may fall one time in a hundred. When a horse balks , no mat ter how badly he sulks or how ugly he is , do not beat him. Don't throw sand In his cars , don't use n rope on his fore legs or even burn straw under him. Quietly go and pat him on the head a moment Take a hammer or even pick up a stone In the street , tell the driver to sit still , take his lines , hold them quietly while you lift up either front foot , give each nail n light tap and a good smart top on the frog , drop the foot quickly and then chirp to him to go. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the horse will go right on about bis business , but the driver must keep his lines taut and not puller or jerk htm back. If I have tried this once , I have tried It GOO times , and every time I have Suggested It people have laughed and even bet $5 and bottles of wine that I couiu not cio it BO rar i nave won ev ery bet This may make you smile , but a horse has more common sense than most people are willing to give him credit for. The secret of this little trick la simply diversion. I am a firm believ er that with kindness and proper treat ment a horse can bo driven with a Btring. Horse Sboers' Journal. Another Plnnio.
