Three weeks ngon young man dropped
ute the Hayes' jewelry store nnd
asked for work. He said his first name
wns Albert nud ho had a pair of titles
for the last , ouo his own and ouo his
mother's , but neither ono of which
could bo quito nmdo out because Albert
was tongue-tied. Ho said ho was from
Beatrice , nnd it is evidently true. Ho
wns given n placo. Albert spoke four
diil'orout kinds of language , nnd could
cousumo as many different brands of
whisky. That was evident from the
fact that on last Saturday whoa Mr.
Ilnyos was out of the olty nud Albert
booamo thirsty , ho wont after that
many varieties of liquor nud got them ,
nt nuy price. Ho didu't oven have
that amount himself , and when ho
failed to work other men iu the store
for n loau ho took n buuoh of diamonds
nud made good on the strength of them.
After ho had boon out for a time and
a time ho had Albert came back to
the store aud tossed his carbons back
into their cases. Then ho went to his
lodging houso. Yesterday morning one
of the biggest stones in the buuoh aud
n small ouo , too , were found to bo gone.
Albert wns huutod up aud his trousers
gouo through. In n side pocket ,
chucked down uudor a plug of tobacco ,
the larger sparkler was discovered , but
the tiny one is fltill missing. Albert
was very drunk , and know llttlo about
it. It is not thought that ho intoudorl
to got nwny with the diamonds nor that
ho has the little ouo yet , but ho merely
wanted a drink or two nud took that
way of getting it. It is likely that in
his carelessness the llttlo stone was lost.
The fellow claimed to have been nt onetime
time iu busiuess in Cody , Wyoming ,
nnd may now hi on his way back , for
all the jewelers are able to know.
SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by Ono Bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.
"When I had nn attack of the grip
, ast winter ( the second ouo ) I actually
cured myself with ono bottle of Chain-
borlalu's Cough Remedy , " says Frauk
W. Perry , editor of the Enterprise ,
Shortsville , N. Y. . "This is the honest
truth. I at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a tenspoonful
of this remedy , nud when the coughing
spell would come ou nt night I would
take a dose nud it seemed that iu tbo
briefest interval the cough would pass
off nnd I would go to sleep perfectly
free from cough nnd its nccompanying
pains. To say that the remedy acted ns
n most agreenblo surprise is putting it
very mildly. I had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip ,
simply because I had never tried it for
such n purpose , but it did , nnd it seemed
with the second attack of coughing the
remedy caused it to not only bo of less
duration , but the pains were far loss
severe , and I had not used the contents
of ouo bottle before Mr. Grip had bid
mo adieu. " For Bale by the Kiesan

Purposes of Organization as
Set Forth by Leaders.
EARLY CLOSING , SUNDAY REST.
The Union Not Antagonistic to the
Interests of Merchants Another
Meeting Thursday Night at City
Hall , to Organize.
[ From Tuesday's Dally. ]
Another meeting of the local clerics'
union , which has been in the process of
formation during the past two weeks ,
will bo held nt the city hnll Thursday
night , for the purpose of effecting nn or
ganization. A list is now being ciruln-
ted among the clerks of the city with
the hope , on the part of the leaders , that
it will get the entire craft together.
The founders of the movement desire
that the purpose of the organization be
presented to the publio. In the first
place , tljo uniou is uot a part of the in
ternational clerks' uniou , hue is purely
local in every respect. The main objects
of the move arc to secure early closing
iu all stores every night except Satur
day , and to abolish all Sunday business ,
iu order to give the clerks one day each
week of rest.
It is planned to put forth three peti
tions which will , together , include all of
the mercantile houses of the city.
There will be ouo paper to be endorsed
by the merchants , clothing , dry goods ,
shoo dealers , milliners aud the like ;
another to be signed by the grocers nnd
n third to take in the meat markets.
The idea is said to bo one not antagoniz
ing the interests of the merchants , bnt
co-operntiug with _ them to secure nn
ironclad rule of early closing universally.
It is set forth that the clerks should
have their eveuings nnd their Sundays ;
tlmt just as much business will be trans
acted by the merchants iu ton hours itJ
in 14 , if they nil follow the rule ; nnd
that a few cannot afford to lock up if
others remain open.
No organization hns yet been effected ,
but this is planned for Thursday night ,
when it is hoped there will be a Inrgo
tit tendance.
