acting is not constrained by tlio canons of
the stage. Ho of course defers in some
instances to histrionic tradition , but in
the main aims to present a character as
free nnd untramnu-led as the winds of
tlio prairies over which ho roams. In a
number of places his acting is worthy of
more than passing commendation ,

Constable.
Replevin papers were issued in Justice
Anderson's court yesterday morning at
the instance of George II. Smith to re
cover a harness from Mika Kird , which
the former claimed hud been taken from
him fraudulently by the latter. The
papers wcro placed in the bauds of Con
stable Kyle for service , and that ollicor
started-out to perform his mission and
secure tlio harness. Arrived at Kird's
wood yard at Elovnntli nnd Jackson
streets , the papers wore served , and the
ollicor , accompanied by both Smith and
Kird , went to the barn where the harness
was said to bo. Just inside the barn door
Kird picked up a hatchet which
was lying on the lloor , anil turn
ing suddenly on his companions , or
dered them to leave the premises.
The men were taken by surprise , and
as Kird advanced with the hateliet raised
above his head , they boat a hastv retreat.
Kird followed them up , with threats ot
instant dea li if they returned , until they
had loft his premises. Constable Kyle
and Smith returned to Justice Ander
son's court and reported what had oc
curred , and were advised to make a com
plaint in police court against Kird for
assault with a deadly weapon. The
eomplaint , however , has not yet boon
made.
A. YOUNG THIEF.
A Twelve-year-old had Caught Tap-
pint ; n Till.
Kuhn & Co. , who conduct a branch
drug store at Eighteenth and Cuming
street , have recently missed money from
their cash drawer , and could not account
for its disappearance. A sharp lookout
lias boon kept for some tune , aiid
night the vigilance was rewarded by the
capture of a young lad while in the act of
tapping the till. Ho had entered the
store quietly , and while the clerk's atten
tion was attracted by a customer ho
slipped behind the counter and opened
the 11101103' drawer. The clerk , however ,
discovered him as ho was about to leave ,
and detained him until an ollicor could
be summoned. Roundsman Mat/a an
swered the call and conveyed the boy to
central nolico station , where ho was
locked up. The thief proved to bo Peter
Smilhborg , 13 years of ago. Although so
young ho appeared to realize his situa
tion and refused to toll the ollieei- any
thing. His father is a blacksmith , but it
is not known where ho lives and the boy
refuses to toll.
A Vcrtllct for Defendant.
The ease of L. E. Gordon against the
Nebraska Coal and Lime company and
Constable Edgcrton to recover damages
for the seizure of the plaintiff's trunk on
an attachment for debt , was tried in the
county court yesterday. The plaintiff ,
Gordon , is the man who was sonic time
ago arrested as a bigamist , but was re
leased on account of there not being
sufficient evidence to convict him. After
his release he started a restaurant with
his wife No. 1 on Sixteenth street and
purchased coal for which ho failed to
pay. The coal 'company thereupon
swore out attachment papers and Con
stable Kdgcrtoii served them , attaching
Gordon's trunk. The attachment was
afterwards dissolved , and Gordon there
upon sued the ollieor and company for
i50 damages. The trial yesterday was
exceedingly interesting. Mrs. ( lordon
No. 2 was on the stand and testified that
the clothinsr in the trunk attached was
given to Gordon by her to wear and was
still her property. She also told some
very curious stories , which entertained a
portion of her auditors and disgusted
others. A number of other witnesses
wcro sworn , and after argument by
counsel Judge McCnlloch decided in
favor of the defendants and dismissed the
suit.
How Ho Brolcei the Pledge.
Yoslorday afternoon a KEE man en
countered Owen Connolly , alias "Whisky
Jack , " In the corridor of tlio county build
ing , whore ho was passing a little of the
leisure time imposed upon him by tlio
police court for being intoxicated.
Connolly expressed himself as very much
hurt bv the statement in the KEB that ho
had offered to spring the trap when Hal-
lard hangs. "I wouldn't do such a thing. "
said ho , ' 'and ' when 1 saw that piece m
the KII : : , and a little girl called to me on
the street'Hollo Jack , the hangman , ' !
went and got drunk nnd hero Iain. I
signed the pledge with Judge Stenborg
two weeks before that , ami that piece
made mo break it. . Now 1 want to sign
it again , and I'll keen it , too , if yoiiMl
take back what you said. " And so the
reporter agreed to do it if thus ho could
help "Jack" to load a sober life.

Swedes to work for him , and then re
fused to pay them , Hanson is one of the

cTho Mutual Ijlfo of Now York.
The accumulated assets of the Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York , as
appears from the annual statement in an
other column , under the management of
1'rosidont Richard A. McCnrdy , have
reached the enormous ' aggregate of $108-
V03OGi.61. ( Tho'company last year paid
policy holder ? , for dividends , death
claims , matured endowments , etc. , the
sum of f 14,403,0 tJ.W ) ) , and was in receipt
of an income of over $20,000,000 , leaving
a largo surplus ; from which a dividend
will bo apportioned as usual. These bril
liant facts hardly need any comment ,
nnd the prosperous and always growing
business of the crrat Mutual afford the
best proof that they arc weli understood
by all those looking for safety , above all ,
in providing for their families.

A New York Gambles' .
New York Correspondence Kostou Her
ald : Pat Shcedy is about the best man of
the lot in all respects. Ho lias the repu
tation of being as square as si die , ami he
possesses the coolness and daring of Iho
typical gambler invented by Kret Harto.
Indeed , Air. John Oakhurst never had in
real iifo a moro realistic portrait than
Patrick Slicedy. Ho is a line looking
follow , with a white , clean shaven face ,
cletr ; gray eyes and an attractive and
boyish smilo. Ho is always dres&ed with
quiet taste , and there is nothing about
him that is llashy or ostentatious. When
ho was a boy Sheody became the compan
ion and pupil of the most celebrated of
all tlio three-card monte men , who was
known up and down the whole United
States as Canada Kill. This redoubtable
personage used to dress up like a farmer
ami go traveling on railway trains.
When he had ileeced his man ho would
retire in his country costume to the
private room in tlio car , and ton minutes
later would come out in such genteel
dress and so completely changed in ap
pearance that tlio sharpest eye would
never recognix.e him. His pupil , however -
over , lias not followed the same line of
business. Sheedy has always boon a
legitimate gambler , if legitimacy can bespoken
spoken of in connection with a calling
like that. Up in Hartford , where
much of his early career was spent ,
they toll a good many interesting
stories of this young man. Ono of them
is that he came baok thorn , once upon a
timu , after having been absent for an ex
tended period. lie had plenty of money
with him. and , after paving his debts ,
which is tlio llrst duty of tlio gambler , ho
began to play faro in a local resort. Ho
had boon at it half an hour or so , when
ho discovered ho was buing put through
tke. process known by the alluring title of
a -'skin game , " Mr.Shccdy said nothing ,
but went down into the back yard and
came back again with an ax in his
hand. With this weapon ho pro
ceeded to smash every article
of fnrnituru in the room and to knock
out the windows and shatter the doors.
Having accomplished this piutnresquo
revenge ho walked out in silence , leaving
tlio astounded and frightened proprietor
in solo possession. A year or so back
Sheody took charge of the affairs of John
L. Sullivan , and the two men worked
together without a"ny serious dlllienlty ,
In fact , they noVer" but once had any
thing that appro'ucKI'd a row. That o'c-
eurred in the lobby of the Coleman house
in this city. Sullivnn was slightly under
the inllnoneo of j , liquor , and was Milky
and ugly , when feomo discussion arose
about a division Qf funds , The great
slugger became , aijgry over something
said to him by "Slicustly , anil exclaimed ,
"I'll smash "
yourjtm ; !
"What's that } " ( jlioriod Shocdy , in a
tone of the utmost coolness.
"I'll smash your jaw , " repeated Sulli
van , with a wiek'cd look in his eve ,
The palo-faced'garnbler ' took Air. Sulli
van by the coat laplU and led him to ono
faido. Then ho s'a'id In a very tow tone :
"Have you gotany friends you would
like to see , or any business you would
like to attend to in case anything should
happen to you } " *
"Well , " responded Sullivan , "and
what if llmvoj"
"Kocauso , " observed Sheedy , with a
facial expression that could not bo mis
taken , "yon take my advice and settle it
all up before yon smash my jaw. You
will never have an opportunity after
wards. "
Sullivan looked at Sheedy an instant ,
and then lowered his eyes , with the re
mark that ho was only fooling. Kut ho
didn't fool any more in that direction.
Sheedy , they tell mo , has not boon In
very good luck lately. Indeed , the largo
amount of money of which ho was pos
sessed twelve months ago is said to have
pretty much all gone.
If 3-011 buy lumber anywhere without
ilrso getting Iloagliuidd prices you will
lese money.
SLAEQEB'9 ' DAUGHTER.
It might bo said of old Snm Sladger
that his counting-house was his temple ,
his desk was his altar , his lodger was his
bible and his money was his god. Next
to his money ho loved his only child , his
daughter Julia.
Old Snm had determined that Julia
should wed his friend , Aid. Choz/.lo , who
was wortli n mint of money and would
bo mayor at no distant day. It was an
excellent match from every point of view
except one Julia's. Julia would have
nothing to do with Chozzle , much less
would she marry him. The matter was
often debated between father nnd daugh
ter , If that can be called a debate , which
all command and low-voiced
was - argu
ment on the ono side and all tears and
silent obstinacy on tlio othor.
Had Chorale had no favored rival in
the Held it is possible the poor girl might
have been bullied into accepting him.
Kul there was a rival Ho was an artist.
Ho was very poor , llo was a complete
failure in ids profession. Ho wast exceed
ingly romantic , and his name was Van-
dolour do Vere. Any ono must see at
once that those wore quite good and siilll-
clcnt reasons for any young woman fall
ing in love with him. At any rate , they
were quite sullieiMit for Julia. Julia
wept out one line morning and married
Vanduloiu- Vero according to a prear
ranged plan ,
Now , if there was ono man old Sam ob
jected to moro strongly than another it
was Vnndolotir do Vero. llo branded
him , with line scorn , as "one of them
good-for-nothing nswlio fellows" by
which ho was understood to mean tlio
the icsthelie brotherhood in general.
When , therefore , he received a letter from
his daughter putting him in possession of
the slate of affairs , imploring forgiveness
for herself and "darling Van , " Iho old
man's feeling may , to use a novel
phrase , bo bettor imagined , tlian des
cribed.
In their rooms in a back street Mr. and
Mrs. Vundolur do Vere awaited thu out
raged parent's reply with a good deal of
anxiety. They did not expect that ho
would come round all atonco ; that would
bo tco much , but they did hope that after
the first lit of passion lie would accept the
inevitable aim bis son-in-law.
Kut they were soon deceived not quite
so boon , However , us niightbavo been sup
posed , for two days elapsed before a let
ter made its appearance , bearing on the
cover , the stiff , awkward writing of Sam
el Sladger. When it did come the young
couple found it very brief and to the
point. It was addressed to Mrs. V. do
Vero , and ran as follows :
Miiilam Your favor of thn Jlh instant to
hand and contents noted. As you have made
vour bed so must you anil your vagabond He.
You Inxvo not broken my heart bv your wicked
and disgraceful conduct , but you have closed
It against you forever. I am a iiuin ol my
woid ; that you know \\oll. I cast yon oil :
1 disown you as a daughter. 1 forbid you or
your Mr. de Vero to set foot In my house
under any piotext whatever , and I tell you
now , once lor all , that you shall never have
even ono penny piece , or llio value of it ,
Ironic in. it will bo quite useless to write
to me , as all your letters will be returned un
opened. SA.MUKI , Si.AiHinit.
To do Julia and her husband justice
they bore up under tlicir misfortunes
plu'ekily. Van painted by the porchrood
and acre , but the pictures would not sell.
Ky thn time all Julia's trinkets had been
turned into money , and actual starvation
was staring the young couple in the face
for dealers and art shoppers wouldn't
even look at poor Van's productions now
= tlic.laUUad.v.-5vJiowai gstting . "l lff'-V ' *
about the Vent. Which was rapUuy tailing
in arrears , volunteered this to Julia
very mysterious pie'co of advice :
"if yoil can't soil 'em , " and she indi
cated the blushing Canvas , "why neb
spout 'cm ? "
D"l 1 beg your pardon. I don't quite
understand , " replied Julia , looking a
good deal bnwildered.
The landlady in a tone of ill-concealed
pity for her lodger's ignoranceexplained
that "spouting the pictures" meant
pledging them at a pawnbroker's for
whatever ho could bo induced to lend
upon them ,
Julia soon reconciled herself to the no
tion of obtaining small advances upon
her husbands pictures.
In their keen struggle for life bolh Van
and Julia became smart and artful to a
degree which surprised even themselves.
Van very soon got to know the sort of
pictures upon which most money could
bo lent , nnrt was lavish in the nso of his
brightest colors. Kut to Julia must be
given the credit of hitting upon the idea
of Van's producing endless copies of his
most popular piece a red-cloaked maid
en walking in a gamboge cornfield under
a brilliant ullrn-marine sky. Van soon
dropped into the knack of "knocking
oil' " these master-pieces at a terrific rate ,
lie worked up some half dozen at once ,
tirst putting on six brilliant skies , then
calling into being six fields of waving
grain , and then introducing into each the
simple maiden in the excruciating
scarlet cloak.
For many u week diil the young people
live upon the proceeds of their gaudy
manufaclurc , but there came a liino when
there was scarcely a pawnbroker in New
York who had not in Ids keeping ono of
Van's outrages upon nature , Kut it grad
ually became harder to part with thorn or
any picture at all , and the young
people were getting terribly anxious
about thu future ,
"Van , dear , " said Julia , for the thous
andth time , "wo must have money some
how. I'm ' getting desperate. I wish , oh
how I wisb I could earn some I Kut what
car. I do ? I was never taught anything
useful. I can play decently , jt's true.and
I can sing ; that's ono thing I can du
really well. Kut where can I sing ? I
have nnvor sung in public. I have no
recommendations nor introductions. I
shall never make anything by singing. "
"I'm afraid you're right , darling"said
hot- husband , gloomily , as ho clinked the
few half-dollars remaining in his pocket.
"You could never make a public appear
ance unless" and hero ho smiled at the
qnalntnoss of thu idea "Unless you make
it.in the public Mrcot.s like that girl wo
saw with a crowd around her the other
night , don't you know ? How delighted
your amiable parent confound him !
would bo if lie know it. Wonder what
he'd do ? "
All that day Julia was exceedingly quiet
and thoughtful.
"Van , dear , " said Julia suddenly , when
they had boon sitting talking for some
time after ten , "I'm ' going out. "
"All right , " said T-.m , "I'm ready ,
whore do you want to go ? "
"Oh , not farl Thorn are several little
things to buy. I can got thorn quito as
well by myself. You needn't como , "
"Needn't como ! Kut I don't like your
going out alone at night , dear. Kesidos ,
why hhould you go alone ? "
"For a woman's reason. Kccnuso I
want to. ow , don't bo angry , Van.
1 won't como to any harm , 1 promise
you. " And Van KHVO in , of course.
Julia walked rapidlv. looking neither
to the right nor left , She feared if she
proceeded slowly , or hesitated , the cour
age to carry out the resolution she had 1
made might 007.0 away ,
At last she arrived near her father's
houso. a handsome corner building. It
was about i ) o'clock , and old Sam and his
guests , for ho was giving a dinner party ,
were in the brilliantly lighted dining-
room.
Sam Sladgor had changed a good deal I
since his ( laughter's departure from
home. Ho looked aged and haggard.
He missed her sorely and yearned to have
her back with him ; but ho had stuck
stubbornly to his determination to have
nothing further to do with her.
The old man then was not happy , but
on this- particular evening he was'less
unhappy than ho had been for a consid
erable time , for among the guests was
ono of the "nobs" ho worshipped.
"Well , as I was saying , " remarked tlio
aristocratic gentleman , continuing a
conversation , "there was quito a scone.
Regular excitement ; everybody upset. I
don't say tl.cro Was anybody in particu
lar to blnmo. Kut n scene is something t
cannot stand ; nnd so I've never been to
the house since. "
There was a murmur of npplnuso at
this very spirited and aristocratic way of
treating the affair , which had hardly
died away when Sludger's face suddenly
became n hy pale.
llo hurriedly drank a glass of wine
and listened with feverish eagerness , for
it was something ho had heard which had
caused the blood quickly to leave his
checks. Yes , there was no mistake.
Tremulotts and low at first , but growing
louder and clearer now , a woman's voice
singing n simple ballad could be hoard.
There wns nothing much In that to
other hearers , but there was a good deal
in It to old Sladger. It was lus daugh
ter's voice. Surely ho could not bo mis
taken. Making some trivial excuse for
going to the window , ho raised the eur-
tains and looked out. There , before his
very doorstop , was a small crowd ; one of
the > o crowds which spring up In Now
York as if by magic ; nnd In tlio centre of
it was a young woman wrapped in a
faded and old blaek shawl , with a patched
and shriveled bonnet on her her head.
Old Sam knew her in n moment. He
hud not mistaken the voice. It was his
daughter ho saw before him. Ho looked
out at her for some moments unable to
deoido how to act. Ho must not have a
scone and ho must have his daughter , llo
cursed himself for having held out so
long. This sort of a thing must bo put n
stop to nl all haxards. His daughter
singing in the streets ! It would certain
ly occomo to bo known and talketl
about. The scandal would bo too great.
Leaving the dining room with as com
posed an air as liu could assume under
the ciruumstancos , ho. wont quietly to
the hall door , opened it , and passed 'out.
As he did so the song canio to an end.
Stepping up to Ills daughter , who looked
at him will ! steady oyus , ho said aloud :
"Very well done , young woman , very
well done ! You must ho tired. Come in
and take a little refreshment. " And
then , in a tone that readied only her
ears : "For heaven's sake , .Julia , eomo
into the house and stop this masquerad
ing. You'll disgrace me forever. Doa'l
cry or make a scene , I wouldn't have n
scene for anything. I'll lake back all 1
wrote you. 1 dare say your husband's a
vcrv good fellow. I'll make friends
with him. loo. You shall not want for
money , either of you. " And so saying ,
the old man drew nor into the house.
What passed between father and daugh
ter then is , perhaps , hardly worth relat
ing ; bul a reconciliation must have been
ollucted , for the young couple and the old
man are now on the friendliest terms ,
Julia says she has no secrets from her
husband , but , all the same , Vandelour
has never learned what became of his
wife when she donned the old bonnet and
shawl , or how it was that Sam Sludger's-
heart warmed so suddenly to Ins runa
way daughter and her artistic vagabond
of a husband. [ Chicago News.
GOSl'EH COUNTY'S GROWTH.
NewTowtiB Sprlnftlun up In Advance
of the Railroads The Town
of Elwood.
EMVOOD , Go.spor Co. , Nob. , Fob. 9.
[ Corrcsdoiulenco of the KEE. ] This is a
six months' town , the outgrowth of tlio
Iloldrcdgo extension of the K. & M. rail
way system in Nebraska. It is tlio pros-
I ( ; tuhnmuH of tlmfc braucli ; about thirty
llt-s from the main line at Hbldrog6.
The town is located on the elevated plat
eau that separates the valleys of the Plutto
and Republican rivers. A wide swoop of
line agricultural country stretches away
on every hand. From two to three hun
dred people have located here. The
buildings arc frame structures , bright
and cosy , and an indication of thrift
characterizes all branches of business. A
daily train connects with tlio main line
trains at Iloldrcgo , both morning nnd
evening , arriving here at 0 o'clock p. in.
and departing at 0 o'clock a. in.
Elwood is essentially a prairie town
not a tree , bush nor slirub to bo soon in
any direction. Water is obtained by
boring at a depth of from 200 to i500
feet. In all probability the town will bo
supplied with water by artesian wells in
tlio near future. Immigrants are plant
ing tlioir homes in and around , and the
country is being rapidly transformed
from its primitive condition into thrifty
farms , dotted with cosy habitations ,
abounding in tlio comforts of life. Town
pr6porl.v and farm lands are changing
hands and considerable speculation is
going on in real estate. Not over an
inch of snow has covered the ground in
this county at any time during the win
ter , and the railroad graders who are
working beyond here put in twenty-four
days of good work in January. The soil
is so dry thai frost has very litllo effect
upon it , and the graders push through it
as they would through an ash heap. On
Hie forty milo contract west of here ,
about twelve gangs of men nml
teams are working under that many eon-
tractors and sub-contractors , numbering
in the aggregate 1,300 men and 000 loams.
Three milo.s wesl of hero is the oamp ot
Malldry it Hushing , the chief contractors ;
then comes K. Con ley , McLinn Kro.s. ,
John Flinn , Colt & Sons , James O'Keofo ,
MeGocr , William Carr , Crauoy Kros. ,
Donnelly Kros. . T. L. Murphy and' Wil
liam Foioy. They are doing some of Iho
heaviest work over done in the slalo. It
is estimated that to complete the grading
of the forty miles of road will require the
removal of VOO.OOO cubic yards of dirt.
No one up this way seems to under
stand the mission or designation of this
road. Some think it is pointing in the
direction of vast coal measures in Wyo
ming , others assort thai it is being built
to head oil' rival lines , and finally , there
are dozens of rumors and speculations in
relation to it. Not even the contractors ,
nor engineers , nor any ono else apoar | ;
to know whore it Is going to or what it is
after. It is not at all likely that it will
anchor out in Frontier county on the
prairie , or run into a badger
hole in Lincoln county. Perhaps
the old heads at Koston and ( he Almighty
know what is up , and that is enough , At
any rate the dirt is Hying all along this
forty-mile stretch , which takes it well up
into the frontier country , to a point on
the prairie , no miles distant from no-
whom. Its general course is the summit
of watershed of the Katllo and Republi
can rivers. II will open up some line
country , and may eventually shoot
through the mountains to Salt Lake or
Bomo other Rooky mountain point ,
Tlio wind is on its multlo hero to-day.
It is spinning along at. the rate of about
seventy-five miles an hour , and a few
Hakes of snow would like to fall but the
wind blows so hard that they are unable
to kiss the cheek of Mother Karth. It is
the staunehest norther that has swept
this naked divide since the white man
began to hold il ( town. Wo had four
dayn of charming weather , the last drift
disapppoaral , thu plow was pulled out
from Its winter quarters , and wo could
almost hoar thu song of the robin. Hut
this Goil-forsaken blizzard now running
nt large has knocked the poetry all out
of spring and set the thermometers crazy ,
It struck us abaft our dreams olyshin
about midnight and bids fair for a
twenty-four hours jilcgo. Wo aomiro the
grandeur of its lung power , but object to
the strength ofl \ lm tfh H.
A moss-ago was Jla hed last week from
Now Yo.rk U ) London , tlio business re
ferred to in thu dispatch transacted , and
an answer'received in Now York in juet
six minutes , the quickest time on record.

The town of Dulolth , D. T. , having offered -
fered * ! ) ( ) ( ) ami a town lot to the first baby
born within its limits , a lady living some
200 miles distant went over , gave birth tea
a bouncing boy , pocketed her $800 and
the deed for the town lot , and finished up
the entire transaction in lets than forty-
eight hours. "
Two nleo young Maine persons are in a
state of mind , unu all on account of thu
careless business manager of an Augusta
newspaper , One of the young persons
wrote to the other , directing her letter to
the newspaper ofllco whore he worked ,
and the business manager , not noticing
the address , tore open the envelope and
turned it over to the editor , who chipped
it in the Young Folks' column as n com
munication , the name of the sender and
sendee of the letter bolh appearing. The
young m-in , who had been awaiting some
word from the ludy , first { earned of the
course the letter had taken when ho saw
it Iii the paper. Their feelings tu'o
easier imagined than described.
