The complimentary tendered W. W.
Chapman and to take pltico next Wednes
day evening , is to bo a fancy dross
carnival , and will without doubt bo the
linoat aflair of the season. Invitations
for these wishing to skate in fancy
costumes nro in the hands of the commit
tee , and it is intended to mnko the
gathering qulto nolcct so far as tlio akntora
are concerned. The public generally are
invited as spectators , the admission to bo
twonty.fivo cents. It is expected that a
number of the Omaha skaters will bo in
attendance also.
Ono of THE BEE men is about discour
aged trying to comply with the mayor's
proclamation , In order to save a fifty-
cent dog ho bought n seventy-five cent
muzzle , and turned the pot howler loose ;
but two days hnd not passed before Homo
follow had ntolcn the muzzle off the dog ,
nnd the third day nome other fellow stele
the dog. If the last follow had only kept
him it would have been ull right , but
the dog chawed off the rope by which his
kidnapper hnd tied him up , nnd cnmo
flying homo to got another muzzle. If
that proclamation isn't rescinded soon ,
the dog will bo sold for taxes by its
owner.
Mr. Michaels , the jeweler , wont to
Omaha Friday night to attend the opera
and on returning late tried to got into
his sloro. His big bull dog seeing him
ran up stairs where a clerk nnd Dave
Friedman were stooping , and with moro
intelligence than gentleness , ho pounced
onto Friedman , who thus aroused called
for his bedfellow to take the dog off be
fore ho killed him. The dog was sent
down staira again , but coma up noon ,
moro excited than over , and the clerk
thinking something must bo wrong wont
down and found Michaels himself wait
ing to got in. That dog evidently has
sense enough to muzzle himself without
any order from the mayor.

The discussion concerning proposed
change of the chiefs for the iiro depart
ment has died out somewhat of late , but
as the city council moots again this even
ing , many nro curious to know whether
it has also died out with the aldermen.
The proposed change is acknowledged to
bo largely n moro political move nnd that
is why there has boon so much inclignn-
tion expressed at the moro suggestion.
The Western Fireman , n journal which
speaks not merely as one having authority
in such matters , but as ono which gathers
up what may bo gained by the experience
of not ono but many cities , in its last
number makes some general editorial
comments , which , while not intended
for Council Bluffs especially ,
apply very closely to the situation here ,
and should bo perused by every alderman.
It sayo : "These charges nro especially
numerous about the time of spring nnd
fall ploctions , indicating , unfortunately ,
that in many cases political reasons enter
as a consideration into the plans of those
who determine the policy of thocity. The of
existence of these influences and the
charges which result trom i thorn must bo
regarded jj as among the chief causes of the
fire department inollicioncy. When n
man has taken the lead of a fire depart
ment for a number of years , nnd hns
secured : the confidence nnd co-operation doa
of. his men , it would bo n very cogent
reason indocd which should induce his
removal n reason which should
invariably have moro founda-
ion than a politician's whim.
There is , or should bo , so close a rela the
tion between a chief nnd his men that
bis removal would break n strong bond
f union , and make for

A LOST NATION.
A Mysterious Letter Pnrprtu to Be
FromaManKiflnaicil by
Bandits ,
A HtranuoStory Exciting Sliennmlonli
Some time ago n man named W. T.
Nation , well known in Shenandoah , sud
denly disappeared nnd no traces have
since boon had as to whereabouts. The
first heard of him ia n mysterious letter
which hns been received by Jim Noble ,
and hns boon promptly sent on to Mr.
Nation's family , who now reside nt Auro
ra , Nob. This letter , contained such n
Htrnngo story that U is believed by many
to bo n moro blind , a poor attempt at an
\pril Fool joke , but others claim that
the handwriting is surely that of the
missing man , nnd that it is worthy of
credit. According to the letter as given
by the Shonnndoah Iloportor , it npponrs
that Mr. Nntion , who wns out on business
on horaoback nt the time of his disappearance -
anco , had grown tired riding , and dis
mounted and allowed hia horse to fol
low behind him. But the horse got
nwny nnd rnn for homo. IIo then pur
sued his journey on foot , nnd when near
Coin was overtaken by two persons , ono
on foot nnd ono seated in n fcuggy driving
n team. Ho was accosted by the man on
foot with whom ho walked nnd talked.
Presently the man who eat in the buggy'
incidentally suggested to the ono on foot
that they exchange places , that ho waa
tired driving nnd would like to walk. To
which the other assented , The team
stopped * , and . the . man in . the . buggy alight11U _ _
m
od and coming forward to the hondn of
the horses , where Air. Nation nnd the
ether mnn wcro otnnding. Presently they
seized Mr. Nation , hound and blindfolded
him , nnd put him in the bupgy. They
then got in and placing n pistol barrel
to his temples , informed him that his
Ufa depended upon his silence. They
then drove rapidly , where ho could not
BCO. For eleven days and nights the
journey continued , the party halting at
log cabiim in the thick brush and timber ,
laying over in the day nnd traveling
at night. At length , after enduring
the fours nnd horrors of this worse than
dcath-rido , ho found himself in the
mountains , and wns ushered into n cave ,
where ho nas been over since. Ono of
the robbers was sick in the cave , and Mr.
Nntion nursed him while ill. In return
for this kindnosa ho furnished Air. Nation
with writing material for this letter , nnd
promised to post it for him. When Mr.
Nntion naked him the reason of his cap
ture , the robber informed him that ho
rcBombled ono of their band who had
turned . traitor and informer against
them , nnd was the occasion of having
several of their band arrested , tried nnd
punished by imprisonment. That they
held him captive until the return of their
captain , who would identify him if ho
was the man , if not ho would bo lot , go.
