Korbcr , the man who was so badly frozen four weeks ago , died at the med ical institute yesterday from the eflects of the amputation of bis leg. Ho was very low when the operation was per formed , and the surgeons used the kuifc s a last resort in nn almost hopelu s uilbrt to save his life. A cuitious r-Asi : . Saturday Sheriff Melick received a note fioin Campbell & Young , attorneys' at Harper ( Kan. ) enclosing a letter which they said had been picked up in the Streets of that town.

The writer , who signed hi'.uscli James Younger \ * ! ; ; Davidson about his ailveiitviTcs since seeing him , referred to borne mysterious shooting case for which ho was arrested last spring and sent to jail to await trial. He was in the lockup two weeks , when one night lie Dover- powered the keeper and escaped and came to Lincoln , where ho found a job us night clerk at the Arlington. The let ter was turned over to Ollicer Fowler , who yesterday found Younger at work in the kitchen at the Tremont. When ar raigned before Judge Parker ho ad mitted having written tiio letter , but claimed that it was all bravado. Young er said that last summer ho and a pal named Harry G.Iilair wore arrested nt David City ( Nob. ) for "holding up" a man , but were discharged when the dis trict court mot. Sheriff Molick is inclined to think that they broke jail , and hns wired to David City for particulars. The police believe that Hoyce , the chap arrested hero last December while trying to burglari'/o a hardware store on O street , and Youngor's pal liluir , arc ono and the same person. When Uoyeo was caught ho had an express receipt in his yockot tor a package shinpol from .Hastings to Omaha in the name of Harry < } . llliur , and it was surmised then that llio name of Charles G. lioycu was for use in Lincoln only , IN THE DISTINCT COUUT.

" If all men should accept the offer God \vould not lese anything by the exchange. The ocean is not hmmvcrishedby the millions of tons of vapor constantly aris ing to form cloiuls , nor mailo ilch by the thousands of streams that empty their vvateis Into Its bosom. God gave light , older , soil and beauty to this world. In all the hlstoiy of the planet Ills willingness togivehas boon tllustiated.

Moses had kingly qualities , but he IMK ! to be taught of. God till he possessed Chrlstly qualities. For the ' 'silvTi" of purple hang ings God gave him the "gold" ot the lieiy pillar. In exchange for the houor of dying as an Kgyptian monaich and being embalmed as a mummy and laid iu kingly tomb , God gave him a bmlal by his own mighty hand. The breath was diawn from his body by the kiss of God. And on Taboi's mount he was honoictl and gloillicd in the transfiguration. Jcjus ChrUt must pass through the snmo test.

A Sun young man recently visited Mr Jennings' place in Centre street. It is a brick building , with iron bars and wire iH'ttiug before door.s and \\inilo\vs. The interior is Tilled with tiers of cage- * , con taining small animals and birds of many kinds that invariably welcome strangers with noih.y nnaiiimitv monkeys i-liattor- ing , parrots screeching , dogs barking and yelpiti" ; , roosters crowing , and cana ries whistling. Mr. Jennings laid particular stress upon the declaration that h was a prao- jical ratcatcher. He denied that lie wild in me hYiblt oj , charming the rats by the power of his steel-gray eyes. Ho said it was utterly untrue that ho ever enticed rats out ol their holes by peculiar calls or whistles and then clubbed them to death. He doubted the story of the Pied Piper , and was willing to wager that ho could kill more rats by his practical methods in a day tl..in the Pied Piper could have whistled to death in a week. "There arc , " said Mr. Jennings , "seventy places hotyls and private residences in 'this city that I keep clear of rats , I have several men , thirty ratters of all breeds , and twelve white ferrets to help mo. None of the young men who help mo are afraid to luuidlo a rat , no matter how fierce and and big it may be. As for mo you can sec for ' Yourself just iiow much 1 fear thorn.Vhercupou _ Mr. Jennings open ed the lid of a tin box , ran his hand through the animated slate colored mass and scooped up and turned over a Score lively big fellows. He took ono of them and plr.ci'd it under his shirt next to his bosom. Ho returned it to the box after it had nestled there a minute or two , and continued talking. "Rat catching is done mostly at night. The ferrets run the rats out of tliejr I'1 ' : lind the terriers catch id kill them. They sire sometihies cornered by the fer rets , which then make short work of them. The ferrets are trained to return to me , and will come at call , like a dog. We use many steel traps , and in a place where the r.its arc very numerous , myself and my men catch them with tongs or with our hands. Wo sometimes drive them out of their holes with an obnoxious smoke into valve trans through which they drr > p into a bug All -my best ratters are imported. I have six English bull tuiriors that could not be bought for less than SOO. Here , " leading out two cream colored dogs from a kennel on one side of. the rooni. "ars two of the handsomest animals ever brought to this country. Did you ever see liner eyes , more beautiful limbs , and such a color ? They arc English tciriers that it would take a pile of money to buy. ' "What do I got for my work ? Well , it depends upon the place 1 keep free of rats and mice. I charge from $100 to ? 200 a year for regular customers. Among tno hotels that employ mo are the Windsor , Murray Hill. B-.cvoort , West minster , Victoria , Brunswick , Con tinental , Metropolitan , St. James , Gilsoy House , and the Albemarle. " Mr. Jennings is dcshous of getting 200 wild and ferocious rats to put in an im mense cage for exhibition at the poultry show .at Madifon Square Garden. lie and German , Irish , and American assist ants will enter the cage and prove to the public that r.xts are harmless when fear lessly handled , lie is willing to give 10 cents for each big and wicked rat brought to him , He does iiot believe that any of the international quartet , including him self , will be bitten by the rats. " 1 cannot tell you how many times I have felt the tectli of dogs and rats , " Mr. Jennings said , "but I can toll yon that I have never once bad a thought of hydro phobia after being bitten. I believe the bite of a rat is in no way dangerous to those accustomed to hmilling raU. i have picked up as many as sixty lats an hour at tiio car stables without receiving a scratch. How many rats have I caught with my own hands ? Millions , i should say. Are you going ? Well , good day. Don't ' forget to como up to the Garden and see mo enter the cage with my col lection of rats. It will lie the lirst o\hi- tion of its kind in this or any other country.

For ninny years back Clara Morris has boon indlssolubly connected with plays of the emotional order. Her name has been especially identified with "Miss Multon. " In this she is undoubtedly in many respects without a peer. Strange though It may seem , Miss Morris lacks the intensity of facial expression witli which Mi s Vincent is gifted. Every feature , especially the eyes , seems to be under perfect control. And , indeed , so well are the latter controlled that they not only slmulMc weeping but How with tears. Last night teais weie found also in the audience falling from oyps of hardened men who had wept but little since childhood. No greater emotional aetress , since Clara Morris' appearance here , has played in Omaha. I'lus strength is maintained to the climax when the heroine's realistic death scene ratios a thrill in the audi- ( net * . Mr Vineeiit. Mr Bernard , Mr. Hobyns and MUs Mitchell rendered a very satisfactory support , although H was the lit t appearance of the hist mentioned in her trying role. The house was tilled , and tin1 number of ladies wlto o handker chiefs were not u i-d to staunoh the llow ol tears could bo counted on one's lingers. Thi wiling of the stage , iu itself \\asa gem , and will be a revelation to the audi ence to-night , when the piece will be produced for the last time.
