There are many excellent players , and a great muhy more who are not excellent players , in Omaha , who could form themselves into a club of this kind and matte it a success , and a club so organized , with the usual club room , would , in these long winter evenings , make a pleas ant resort for chess players , and give s stimulus to this father of all games. a young man twenty-oneyears of age died at Mercy Hospital Wednesday morning of ty phoid fever after a brief illness. He "had been in Otnaha something over a year , and was employed asclprk at Bradatreet & Go's. Commercial Agency. The deceased was quite well acquainted In the. city , especl- ally among thffImslness men. He was half owner of the running horse "Lady Clare , " and had about two hundred dollars in money just 'be fore hisjdeath , which some one , it is - thought , took to keep for him.

PeflnilBMa/Woman. Wallu 150 faCilei. Yesterday airwoman named Sarah E. Murray , taged between 45 and 50 years , called on general tick et agent Kimball , of the Union .Pa cific , at his office , and applied for a pass to Nonu Platte. It appears that she has a husband and a son at JSorth Platte , employed as herders by Keith& Barton , and , she was on her way from Atlanta , Georgia , to meet them , and to hereafter make Nebraska her home Avith them. The money which 'they had sent only paid her traveling expenses to St. Joe. On arriving there , last Friday , she found that she had but a very small amount of money left ; a sum altogether insufficient to pay her way over the railroad to Omaha. Having no friends , and being un successful in her applications for as sistance in the : shape of u puss , she pluckily determined to walk to North Platte , a distance of 400 miles. So on Saturday morning last she Started , and this morning arrived in Omaha , having walked 150 miles , after having suffered considerable on the way. She met with many kind favors from charitable people along her zoute. When she reached Omaha , she found the weather had suddenly become so cold that her courage and endurance failed her , as she was thinly clad. Had the weath , er been favorable , she would have continued her weary , tramp. Borne kind person learning her story di rected her to Mr. Klmball's office , wnero sue related the above facts. Mr. Kimball , wirb. very little hesita tion , furpfshed her a pass to her des tination , and she expressed her grateful thanks with tears } n bur eyes , and as she left the office , we heard her utter a "God bless you.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. The Burglars Beccive a Bed Hot Reception. A very bold but unsuccessful at tempt to burglarize the "Nebraska Gun store , " on Farnham street , was made Wednesday night by a brace of thieves. About midnight , the pro prietor , Mr. M. Schutt , who lives in the rear of his store with his fam ily , was awakened by a noise as if some one were trying to unlock the front door by false keys. Grabbing up a large-sized navy re volver , he opened the inside door and looked forward , and there saw the head of a man just above the lower panel of the front door , the lock of which he was trying to pick. Mr. Schutt took aim and shot The ball , as was afterwards discovered , struck the floor , glanced upward and passed through two panes of glass. The burglars took to their heels , and Mr. tichutt ran out to the sidewalk , and yelled to them to come back. They didu't accept the invitation , however. Mr. Schutt always has two or three loaded revolvers near at hand , and won't hesitate to use them on any similar occasion hereafter. Chicago Aid for Hebraska Grasshopper Sufferers.

A Han who wai Supposed to have Committed Suicide , Suddenly tarns np Alive acd Kicking. Distracted by Trouble he Becime a Wanderer , and During Els Absence His Divorced Wife Marries and Gobbles np his Property. AnEnoca Ardenish Story. " "Us strange but true ; for truth Is always strange ; Stranger than fiction ; " * So thought the writer when he heard the following truestory related to him this morning by a gentle man conversant with all the facts : About seven or eight years ago a Bohemian , named Novacek , arrived in'Omaha , with his family , consist ing of a wife and two children. He was not then hardly thirty years of age , and had already accumulated the sura of $12,000 , the profits of several years success ful farming in Europe. This money he brought Avith him to Omaha , which he selected as his home. Under these favorable circum stances his hopes of further success in the new world were of the brightest character , but as the sequel will shoflr , his expectations , how ever great they may have been , were in a few short years all over thrown , and his fortune , happiness , and family relations were all wrecked. After looking around Omaha for a while , seeking an investment for a portion or the whole of his money , as he might see fit , he finally pur chased of A. D. Jones , two lots on Twejfth street , between Douglas and Dodge , nearly opposite the Jones House. On this property he put up a frame building which was called the Cedar Rapids House. He opened it as a boardinghouse - house , and not being familiar with the English language , he em ployed as a clerk a young Bohemi an who could talk English. This clerk was a rascal of thg first wqtgr , and soon swindled Novacekout of a considerable suni of money. Nova- , eek , not being familiar with board- Infi'bousB tactics , became disgusted with the-business , after loling sev eral thousand dollars iu it. He ac cordingly gave it up , and purchased a farm of eighty acres of Janfl ten mljes west of , Qniaha. The Cedar Rapids House was sold to a Mr. Hansen. It ha.d rather an interesting history. It was after wards run by the notorious Hester Baldwin , as a maison deplaislr. It was In this house that the beautiful Cora Clinton lived , and for whom a young government clerk either com mitted suicide or was shot by the girl herself. Itwas afterwards occupied as the BEC office , and was burned down by the fire-bug , Robert An derson. * . There were many other accidents and incidents connected with its history , which we cannot recall to mind at the present moment To return to our hero : Novacek stocked his farm with fine horses and cattle , supplied It with agricul tural machinery , and made many improvements. Once more he was on the road to prosperity , and fast retrieving his losses. It was at this point of his eventful career , tfca.t ll § spnt for { i yoqnger brother In Europe. The brother came , and with him came new troubles. It appears that Novacek's wife and the younger brother had been quite intimate friends in youth , and thja intimacy was renewed upon their meeting again. j-Novacek became jealous of hjs brother.and he thought the friendship was altogether lee thick. A family quarrel was the inevitable result , and the family was broken up. Novaoek's wife came into the city to reside , while her husband became reckless and shiftless , and paid but little , if any , attention to his affairs. His wife began proceedings for a di vorce , but he did not seem to trouble himself about her course of action , nor did he take the first step to pre vent it She was successful iu her sujtj obtaining ijer dporee of Divorce and $1,000 alimony , and $100 per annum for each of her children. During the pending of the suit Novacek mysteriously and suddenly disappeared , and it was generally supposed that he had become de ranged by his misfortunes and had committed suicide. His farm was sold , and everything was disposed of. Shortly after the sale , Mrs. No vacek entered into the employment jf a German named Selzle , who , it < tvill be remembered , was arrested ast summer on suspicion of having ihotand killed a colored man in the louthwestern outskirts of the city , > ut who , upon examination , was lischarged. Selzle finally married Irs. Novacek. Last spring she bid in the remam- ng lot on Twelfth street for $500. ) ne of her children had died , so hat what property -Movacek had jft was divided-between her and tie remaining child. , Wovacek , who was supposed to aveendedhislife , had only secretly ; ft the State. He became a wan- erer , and worked as a laborer on irms and in factories iu Iowa and ajn ajol llinols , and during the past three ol ears he has had a bard row to hoe. oln [ is thoughts at last turned to O matt w tt , and he concluded to come back tc 3d learn what had taken place du tc5t ng his absence. He arrived here 5t IB first of the present week , caus- 5tb ig a complete surprise to his b < d acquaintances , all of whom lought he was filling a suicide's 7t ave In some lonely spot He > esn'tlook much like a dead man , 7t > wever , nor like one contemplat- g suicide. He is stout and healthy , id seems destined to be happy yet e.has learned how bis pioperty Ll 18 slipped from bla grasp , and he now intends to take steps to recover it , or as much thereof as the law will give him , if there is anything left to recover. " He does not propose to trouble his former'wife , nor attempt to regain her affections. He takes every thing very coolly and in a matter- of-fact way , and has engaged a well- known firm of lawyers to attend to his case. A Sad Case. Patrick Mehan , the Union Pacific employe , who had a leg amputated a few days ago in consequence of being run over by the cars , died at lOo'clock Wednesdayrnornlng. The amputated leg was doing well , but the injuries received by the other leg caused his death. His wife died a few weeks ago , and he leaves eight children. The funeral took place yesterday at two o'clock. The deceased came here from Cana da about three years ago , and pur chased 320 acres of land from the railroad company , intending to make this his future home ; but death and misfortunes overtook him. He IB not Ubiquitou * . The Sioux City Journal hits the religious editor of the Herald be tween the eyes as follows : The Omaha Herald of the 25th says : "The various churches were well attended on Sunday , but as our religious editor is not ubiquitous we cannot give a report" As the same issue contains quite a report of "the gymnastic exhibition at Turner hall Sunday evening , " we think we could give a pretty good guess at the whereabouts of the "religious editor" on that holj Sabbath night THE MOMTOR OVERSHOE !
