RIDING WITH A LIVE CORPSE ,
How the Bhitnbors of an Express Messen
ger on the Eock Island Wore Disturbed.
The Vlotlm of a 1'rncUcnl Joltc ,
Perpetrated by the Votcrnn
Cash "Watson.
Omalm Railway Times : Railroad men ,
nnd expressmen particularly , nro unsur
passed as practical jokers. The follow
ing one- related to us by Cash Watson ,
the veteran messenger , now running on
the Milwaukee , out of Council Ulufls , is
the best wo have heard lately , and wo
should like to see the man who can beat
it. Cash said : "It was in the spring of
1878 , while running on the Rock Island
between Council lllufTs and Davenport ,
that I had one of the most amusing ex
periences of all my train life. Tim Uock
Island then run what were called combi
nation cars on the front end of the pas
senger trains that/is , the express , bag
gage lind mail , all in one ear. On the
night I run about to speak of our crow
was coiii posed as follows : George Sims ,
register mail clerk ; Bill Logan , baggage
man ; and myself express manipulator.
Sims was n man of remarkable pnvslqiio
and undoubted courage. Indeed ho was
known as one of the sandiest men on
the road , having his mettle put to the
test n great many times while serving in
the capacity of deputy sheriff in DOS
Molncs , and was never found wanting ,
although ho was nearly killed on two oc
casions while performing his duty. Not
withstanding Sims' great courage , ho en
tertained an unspeakable dread of
corpses. I woll.romcmbor the expression
on his face occasioned by the first corpse
being brought into tiio car after lie com
menced railroading. It was little short
of horror. Little by little , however , lie
became belter accustomed to riding with
them , but never ipiito outgrew his fear.
One evening in the latter part of March ,
1878 , wo pulled out of Council IJIuiVs
with n light run all around , but among
the matter in my charge was the corpse
of a man who had gone to the mountains
in the hope of regaining his health , but
had died , nnd now his remains
were being shipped to the
east for burial. IJoth Logan and
myself noticed Sims' discomfiture when
lie saw the collin case. Ho asked mo
how far it was going , and I answered
that I guessed ho was good for an ell-
night rule with the dead man. It was a
little after 10 o'clock when we left Atlan
tic. The night was dark with boating
rain and howling wind just such a
night as would inspire the gloomiest
thoughts iii the mind of poor Sims.
Our work was light after leaving Atlan
ticnnd I proposed to Sims that no sit up ,
watch for stations , while Logan and my
self would retire. Of course ho refused ,
as I well knew lie would. Then I oll'orcu
to stand vigil while the other two slept.
Sims soon 'turned in' and in a little time
was snoring. Then I told Logan that I
intended to scare that foolishness out of
Sims , right there. Among the express
matter that wo had taken on at Council
151 nil's depot was a bundle of two dozen
boxes of cigars. These were setting on
the coilin-easo. If you had handled ex
press matter as many years as I have ,
you would have learned , long ago that H
bundle of cigars , tied up in the manner
these were , when moved over the rough
surface of a board , would produce a dis
tressing noise , not unlike the wail or
groan of n. person , suffering some awful
agony. Well , I attached a string to the
bundle of cigars , which reached to my
chair near the stove in the middle of the
car. Then I sat down , threw myself
back into the usual attitude for taking a
nap between stations , and grave the string
two slow pulls. 1 confess the result was
so satisfaetory that it almost startled mo.
With my head thrown back and my eyes
partly closed , I watched the cfl'ect on
Sims. Ho had stopped his heavy , meas
ured breathing , and was listening , al
though not yet fully aroused. In a
minute he remembered where lie
was , nnd turned over in the bunk ,
and for fully ten minutes kept his
eyes firmly fixed on the coflin-caso at the
farther end of the car. I know pretty
well what was passing in his thoughts.
Ho was not certain whether ho really did
hear thu groans or was dreaming , and
was debating in his mind if ho should
raise an alarm or not. Ho evidently came
to the conclusion that ho had been dream
ing , for at the end of ton minutes lie was
do/.ing. I waited a long time for him to
get sound asleep nsruin , mit it was plainly
to be scon that liis rest had been seriously
disturbed , and ho was very nervous. Fi
nally ho snored u little. My time for ac
tion' had again arrived. I gave the string
two quick , short jerks , producing a noise
like a person , would , if being strangled or
smothered , and immediately afterward
along , slow pull , repeating the horri
fying groan. In an instant Sims raised
in IUB uccl , his hand on his forehead and
liis eyes riveted on the box containing the
dead man. This time ho was not
dreaming , ho had hoard it sure. Of
course , to all appearances , I was sound
asleep , and Log. .n was in his bunk.
There sat Sims alone with a live corpse ,
at a dead hour of the night. Just the
predicament of all others in this life
that ho most abhorred. It could not
liuvo been more than a minute before ho
climbed out of his bunk and came
stealthily to mo. Ho shook mo violent
ly , and said in n nervous , husky voice ,
'My God , Watson , that man's olive in
tlioro. Uo something , quick. ' You may
think you saw a perfect imitation of
horror wlum you witnessed Salvini as
'Othello , ' but you didn't. Hero was a
great , strong man , wholly powerless nnd
almost transfixed by : i kind of super
natural fear of the dead. Ho was the
most complete picture of a horror-strick
en mortal I over saw. 1 can never for
get the look on his face. 1 tried to
convince him that ho had boon dream
ing , but ho declared tliat ho first heard
the man in the box try to speak , and then
groan , Ho said ho thought ho Iipard it
once before , ami was certain ho did now.
Argument was of no avail , Sims wanted
the man taken out of the box and inspect
ed. Uoth Logan and myself tried to rea
son with him. Wo showed him how im
possible it was for a man to bo alive after
naviiig boon pronounced dead in Denver
and then riding five hundred miles en-
eased in two boxes. To convince him I
went nnd shook the box. This appeared
to alluviato ids fears somnwhat. Then
wo pooh-poohed him nnd gave him the
laugh. Wo worked him in that manner
for an hour. Ho finally said that ho had
taken a couple of drinks before leaving
tha lilull' * , and admitted that possibly it
might have worked upon his imagina
tion. Sims' nnrvos wore prottv steady
now , and with the promise that
both Logan and myself would re
main up and awake , wo goi
him back to bed. Wo told 1dm that
pcoplo in his condition needed slojp. It
must huva boon fully 3 o'clock before
Sims got to sleep again. When wo had
Mitisliod ourselves that ho was not 'play
ing possum. ' we prepared for the grand
climax of the play. This time I gave the
string two vigorous pulls , nnd in rcspon.su
the cigar boxes omitted two unearthly
yells. Sims bobbed up ns before , and
when ho behold the look of alarm that
Loiran and I hud assumed , his fear * know
no bounds. Wo tremblingly told him that
hovm right that somotning was cer
tainly wrong in the box , for wo had dis
tinctly liearu the groans. Wo pretended
to bo Vfry much frightened ourselves ,
viiicli only added to aim's alarm. In. a
very short time our hero bad grabbed up
part of his clothing nnd was making for
the forward coAch just as fast us thu good
l.urd would Jot him. Ho had hud enough
of sleeping with dead men. All tlto
money in the Rock Island road
would not have induced him to
sleep in our car again that
night. The next morning ho came for
ward to look after his register pouch , lie
sat down without saying" word , nnd was
doubtless thinking of the events of the
night. I steppcu to Iho coflin-caso nnd
comcnced shoving the cigar .boxes back
and forth. Then Sims discovered thatho
had been duped , and beeped us not to
give him away. But the ioko wns to good
to keep , and before a wcok had passed
every man on the road know of it. That
night's ndventuro cost him a month's ' sal
ary. Well , my experiment was success
ful. After that night dead people had no
terrors for Sims. 1 bcliovo lie wouldn't
hesitate to challenge n ghost to mortal
combat now. Sometime nftor the event I
have narrated the report that the Hock
Island road was carrying live pcoplo in
collins was widely circulated , and I was
summoned before Supt. S. S. Stephens ,
and gave him the truth about it just as I
have given it to you. "

The Human Unco.
Youth's Companion : Some one recently
made public the remark that if the whole
human race were divided into families of
live persons each , the state of Texas is
largo enough to supply half an aero of
land lo each family. The statement sur
prised some people , and not a few of
thorn declared hastily , without , perform
ing the necessary calculation , that it
could not bo true.
But it is true. There arc supposed to
bo about fourteen hundred million per
sons living on the globe. A half aero to
each family of five would require one
aero for ton persons , or one hundred and
forty million acres in all. The area of
Texas is more- than two hundred and
sixty-two thousand square miles , or
nearly one hundred and eighty-eight
million acres. Consequently there
would bo a surplus of almost twenty-
eight millions left over after every fam
ily was provided for , which would bo suf
ficient for four or live times the present
population of the United States.
Not many people realize how little
snace would bo needed to accommodate
the whole human race , assembled in one
ulaco. Suppose wo wore to fancy every
human being forming one of a vast con
gregation , sealed in fourteen hundred
million easy chairs , cacli occupying a
square yard of ground space.
As tlioro are nearly throe million one
hundred thousand 'bquaro yards to a
square mile , that number represents the
size of the congregation that could bo
sealed upon it under the conditions
named , nnd the whole human family
could bo gathered on a tract of four bun-
ulrcd and lifty-two square miles or
twenty-one and n quarter miles each way.
Less than two-iitthtt of the area of the
little state of Rhode Island would suflico
to give comfortable seating room to the
whole human race. One-twelfth of the
area of llhodo Island would bo enough to
afford standing room as people stand in
a crowd without crushing to every man ,
woman and child on the fnco of the
globo.
Return or the American Beauty.
New York Graphic : Miss Jennie Cham-
horlain , tiio American bounty who has
been the rasro of London for two years ,
came homo Sunday on the Scrvia. Her
mother and aunt have bouii witii her
abroad. They live in Cleveland. The
Casual Observer hears thatsho is engaged
to marry a wealthy English gentleman of
high family but no titlo. Thorn bus boon
much said about her own fortune. Slio
is generally represented as tiio grand
daughter of Soluh Chamberlain , who is
ono of the wealthiest citizens of the For
est City. This is u mistake. She is the
daughter of W. S. Chamberlain , who is a
nephew of Solali , Tlioro is another
nonhow , who is an adopted son of the old
millionaire and will got the bulk of ids
property , said to bo at least $10,000,000.
W. S. Chamberlain was at ono time
wealthy , but lost it in speculation. The
bounty's mother wns the daughter of the
late Jiidgo Wilson of Cleveland , who loft
her the Wilson homestead , on what is
now Wilson avenue , Clovoland. It was
an outlying piece of ground until two or
throe years ago , when it was platted and
sold. It brought $500,000. Mrs. Cham
berlain took as her share enough to spend
a couple of seasons in London witli liar
beautiful daughter. Old Solali Chamber
lain always opposed what ho termed the
London nonsense , as did also the beau
ty's father : but her mother ruiod in that
nmttor and had her own way. The ad
miration expressed for Miss Chamberlain
by the Prince of Wales lias been freely
commented upon. It has never subjected
the lady , however , to any adverse criti
uisin. _ _

STATEMENT OF FACTS.
Honest Mon of JUawos Connty De
fended ARninftttho IlepubllcnnB.
CiiAwnox , ' ' Neb. tcb. 20. [ To the
Editor. ] The "ring" 1ms again used the
columns of tiio ficpublican to throw fortli
their slurs and 'spito ' on the people of
Dawes countj- . The article originated by
them , sent to , and published by the Ho-
publican on UioSOd , shows that the above
named paper cnces not for what purpose
its columns arc used nor who uses thorn.
The "ring" iiciltionod is composed of a
few imworthiesvho arc now ex-leaders
nnd ox-odlccj's of this county , who , when
their power of running the newly organ
ized county for their own personal bene
fit wns tanon from thorn , have taken
means of revenge by slandering the pres
ent county olliciais and popular county
official paper , and also your humble cor
respondent. "Those whom the shoo fits
wear it" Is an old ndngo that can bo ap
plied to the above five or six mugwumps ,
In our article wo mentioned no names ,
nnd our aim was lo toll the truth , and
it now scorns that the dovll lias
shamed -or devils it should bo shalncd
into sending into the monopoly paper of
the northwest a slandering paragraph entitled -
titled "Tho Matter Sot light.v > There
have been several articles recently pub
lished in the Republican regarding our
county affairs , all of which originated in
tiio above ring , which is a branch of a
larger ono championed by the Republi
can throughout the state , and most of
the statements being garbled and biased ,
it is doomed proper that your readers
may know tiio plain facts in order that
they may judge for themselves.
This county was organized during tiio
month of July last , bv the election of U.
Y. Moars , II. ll. Morclicad and ono Mo-
Laughlin as county commissioners ; F. I ) .
Ilcaly , clurk ; llurr Shclton , judge , and
II. G. McMillan , treasurer.
About August 1 the Chadron Banking
company , County Clerk Curly and Coun
ty Judge Shollon being two of the live
members the bank was composed of ,
leased to the county two rooms in the
S3cond story of the bank building tor the
county clerk's and treasurer's ofjico at
$75 per month for three years , leaving the
ollices of the county superintendent ,
sherilf and judge unprovided for until
some time subsequent , when they wore
provided with olheos olsowhorc at an ad
ditional expense of $50 per month.
August iW the commissioner ordered
Mr. Carly to advertise for bids for a
county lull. This was published once ,
and on August 3 , Iho contract was lot
to W. E. Iligman , president of the Chad-
ron Banking company , for $1,1)0. ! ) This
was fortwo cells , built of woodnnd actual
ly cost about $350. About this time bills
for i printing and stationery were con
tracted with the Omaha Republican and
Dawes County Journal to tiio amount of
§ 1,500 , without advertising for bids as
law requires. Many other contracts were
made in defiance of the law , and were
generally about three times as large as
the consideration received by the county.
All this , along iwilli tiio necessary ex
penses of the county , amounted to about
$10,000. This indebtedness was crcatcil
before any aB'Scsemcnt , estimate or levy
was made , and ( consequently no money
in tiio treasury to pay the same. Most of
the bills , hoivovdr , were sold to the Chad
ron Banking company at a great dis
count. *
This state of ntfnirs , through the trans
parency of tho"ring ; , " gradually became
known and vf'as made an issue last fall ,
at which alLof Iho so called rinir candi
dates were defeated. Dr. Spearling , J. L ) .
Pattison and ' A. V. Harris were
elected county' commissioners ( the
above were iill'Honest capable fanners ) ;
Do Forest Richards was elected treasurer ,
Robert Uiclcsuu-cJurk , Jf. LL. Fall county
judgo. SoomafCbr the election , at the
instigation .of the "ring , " the election of
county treasurer was contested before
Connty Judge Shulton , and later a con
test was instituted against one of the
commissioners , all upon niero technicali
ties , they having been fairly elected by
largo majorities.
When the now board entered upon the
duties of their offices in January last ,
they found this state of affairs exi.sting.
They also found the county treasurer
holding his ollicc , along witli the money ,
records , etc. , in the office of the Cliadron
Banking company , who refused to turn
over the ofiico to the new treasurer-elect.
The commissioners thereupon ordered all
the county offices moved to another build
ing of four rooms suitable for their occu
pancy , and notified the banking company
that they would no longer use its rooms
nnd would not recognize the ? 200 lease.
Mandamus proceedings were then com
menced to compel thorn to return.
The court decideil that the lease wns only
valid for ono 3 car after its taking oifect.
and granti'd a peremptory writ to compel
the commissioners to return to the bank
building , or provide a safe or vault in
the building then occupied. The "ring"
then acknowledged its defeat and offered
to lease their rooms mentioned over their
bank for the ono year at § 50 per month
for the occupancy of nil the ollices. The
proposition wns accepted by the board ,
thus saving the county in rent alone
about ? 3,000.
As the commissioners have obtained a
donation of a valuublu block of laud from
the Western Town Lot company , upon
which they will during the year 'erect a
suitable uuilding for county purposes ,
this is indeed a great victory for the pco
plo of Dawcs county against corrupt
rings , and it is not to b'o wondered aC that
the soreheads should vent their spite

NYE'S FEAR OF HYDROPHOBIA.
The Feasibility of Mi-ing Without
Dogn Tiinorlng Off on the Prevalent
Can i no Fancy.
Boston Glebe : I take occasion at this
time to ask the American pcoplo as ono
man , what are wo to do to prevent the
spread of the most insidious nnd disagrco-
abln disniiho known as liyilrophobin ?
When a fellow-being lias to bo smother
ed , ns was the cuso the ether day right
hero in our fijjrjand. a land where tyrant
foot had novorti-troJ nor bigot forged a
chain , wo look xnxlously into each other's
faces and inquire , what shall wo doy
Shall wo Uilo ( Franco nt a great expense -
ponso nnd fiflour'system full of dog virus
and then rot urn to our glorious land
wlioro wo miyf6rk ever that virus to pos
terity , and thus hiixup French hydropho
bia with thomiwy.-bluo blood of f rco-born
American citizt-ns ?
If I knawthi ; ( would bo ni3f last wet I
would not change it. That is just wet it
would bo. 3' ' i'
But " *
again ,
What almluwq do to avoid getting im
pregnated with ! the American dog and
then Hatunitlirb'ur | systems witli the alien
dog of Parish iL"
It is a soriousanattor , and if wo do not
want to play Jhji "Do.sdcmoniu" act , we
must takobomotinuily precautions. What
must those precautions bo ?
Did it to the
ever occur average-think
ing mind that wo might squeeze along
for weeks without a dog ? Whole fami
lies have existed lor years after being
deprived of docs. Look at the wealthy
of our land. They , go on comfortably
through lifo nnd die at last with the
unanimous consent of their heirs dogless.
Then why cannot the poor gradually
taper off on dogsr They ought not to
stop all of u sudden ; but tlmy could leave
oil'u dog at a time until at last they over
came the pernicious habit.
I saw u man in St. Paul last week who
was once poor , and ho. owned seven
variegated dogs. Ho was continued in
that habit Hut ho summoned all Ida will
power at last and said ho would sliako off
thesu dogs and bccomn a-man. Ho did
BO , and to-day ho 'owns a city lot in St.
Paul , nnd seems to bo the picture of
health.
The trouble about maintaining a dop Is
that ho mar go on for years in a qmto ,
gentlemanly way , winning the regard of
all who know him , and then nil of a sud
den ho may hydrophobe in the most vie
lent manner. Not only that , but ho may
do so while wo liavo company. Ho may
also bite our twins , or the twins ot our
warmest friends. Ho may bite us now
and wo may laugh at it , but in live years
from now , wliilo wo are delivering a
humorous lecture , wo man burst forth
into the nudionco nnd bite n beautiful
young lady in the parquet or on the car.
It isn solemn tiling to think of , follow-
citizens , and 1 appeal to these who may
road this , as a man who may not live to
sco a satisfaelory political reform 1 ap
peal to you to refrain from the dog. Ho
is purely ornamental , Wo may love a
good dog , but wo ought to love our chil
dren moro. It would bo very , very noble
nnd expensive dog that I would agree to
feed with my only son.
I know that wo gradually become at
tached to a good dog. but some day ho
may become attached to us , and what
can bo sadder than the sight of a leading
citizen drawing n reluctant mad dog
down thb street oy main strength nnd the
seat of his pantaloons ? ( I mean his own.
not the dog's pants. { ff This ioko will
appear In book form in April. Tiio book
will bo very readable , ana there will bo
another joke in it also , oed if. )
I have said a good deal about the dog ,
pro and con , and I nm not a rabid dog
abolitionist , for no ono loves to have his
clear cut features licked by the warm ,
wet tongue of a noble dog any moro than
I do , but rather than see hydrophobia
loeonio ) a national characteristic or n
loading industry hero , I would forego
the dog.
Perhaps all men nro that way. how-
over. When they get a little forehanded
they forgot they were once poor , and
owned dogs. If so , 1 do not wish to bo
unfair. 1 want to bo just , and I believe I
am. Let us vlold up our dogs and lake
Ilic affection that wo would otherwise
bestow on thorn on some human being.
1 have tried it and it works well. There
nro thousands of people in the world of
botli sexes who are pining and starving
for the love and money that wo daily
shower on the dog.
If the dog would bo kind enough to re-
[ rain from introducing his justly cele
brated virus into the person of those
only who kiss him on tiio cold , moist
nose , it would bo all right ; but when a
dog goes mad ho is very impulsive , and
lie may bestow himself on an obscure
man. So I feel a little nervous myself.

\Vlio Runs This Court ?
Pueblo Correspondence Denver News :
Quito n sensation was created this after
noon at the court house in this city.
Pauhio Tcsto.an . Italian , was given a pre
liminary hearing on Iho charge of forg
ing a money order before United States
Commi.isionor Hart , who is also county
judge of this county. The evidence for
the prosecution was closed , when United
States Attorney Hobb asked Judge ICorr ,
counsel for the defense , if the latter had
any evidence lo introduce. Kcrr replied
"Yes. "
Then said Hobson , "I must have a con
tinuance as I have important business nt
Denver. "
Judge Kerr thought the case should
proceed , but was willing to oblige the at
torney.
Hero Judire Hart spoke , saying that to
slop the case at this stage was an unheard
of proceeding.
Hob-sou rose to his feet and said : "Sir ,
I will have you to understand that I am
the United Slates attorney and am run
ning the district of Colorado. "
Hart replied : "I am the judge of tins
court , and you can not run mo or this
court for two minutes , and the prisoner is
discharged. "
Ilobson responded : "I will ask for
your removal nt the next term of the
court. "
Hart replied : "You can't cot my re
signation , but if you will stop outside of
this court-room you can got any thing else
you want. "

Manchester Times : In the year 1803
there died at Bath a lady who had
amassed considerable money. On the
inside of her pillow-slip was pinned a
note , which ran thus ; "I have made a
will. If you would bo rich lind it. "
There was something- charming in this
idea. The old lady must have been of a
humorous turn of mind. No doubt she
often pictured to herself her young and
aged relations , male nnd female alike ,
in pursuit of tlus phantom fortune. Car
pets would 1)0 ripped up , the contents of
cushions and beds scattered about the
lioor , the wall paper torn down , the gar
den dug uj ) , and , in fact , everything
turned topsy-turvy. The story goes that
the search wont on night and day for a
week , each party being unxioiu , natural
ly enough , to lind Iho will , when just as
tiio search was about to bo given up in
disgust the document was found tightly
sown inside the skin of the lady's wig.
Then the family gathered together to
hear it read * It consisted of one clause ,
nnd that was lo the effect "that the
Under of this , in considoralion of his
labor and good luck in finding il , shall
have the sum of 1 penny a day for his
natural life , the rt'st of my property to
go lo charities named balow. " Hero Iho
story ends. Nothing is said about the
feelings of the will-seekers , which is
disappointing , for thorn is as grand
scope hero for the pen of the novelist as
tlioro is for the brush of the painter.

"Like many other nublio men , " says
Philadelphia Telegraph , "John B. Gotigh
made money easily and spent it freely.
During hit ? lifetime lie earned hundreds
of thousands of dollars , but iiis whole
fortune is estimated at less than $75,000 ,
Ho leaves a house and 200 acres ol valua
ble ground about six miles from Worces
ter. Miibs. This was liis 'farm,1 and lioro
ho rested during Iho breathing spell in
ids busy lifo. His library is one of the
lineal in the country. It is valued at $20-
000 , but it is doubtful whuthur it would
bring that amount at public or private
sale. Some of the books were highly
prized by tha great orator. Among thorn
were original sketches by George Gruik-
shank , which ho could have sold a year
ago for Hovoral thousand dollars. Besides -
sides his farm and library Mo. Gough
owned lands and mortgages which yield
ed n small income. An intimate friend
was talking to him about his private
affairs Monday. Mr. ( iough told him
that in the event of liis death liis wife
would have an income of about $2,500
from his personal property , "
A Oront HHhslun Journalist.
Tvan Aksakolf , who died at Moscow ro
ccntly , was the joiirnalibtio Garibaldi of
Russia. Ho was the only man in Russia
stronger than the Czar , who had to
follow where Aksakoff led. Aicsukofl
was the author of the last war against
Turkey , and Gen. Sknholeif was his
military lieutenant. AlwukofPs ficrco
attacks on the U/.ar's policy in the
present Bulgarian i imbroglio brought
nine warnings from the press censor , nil
of which the editor of the Russ disre
garded. As Aksakoff was the heail
and leader of Russian Pan-Slavism , it
would bo dangerous to suppress him ; so
ho died of heart diboaso , like Skobdolf ,
and the Russ will appear no moro. The
special corrcspomlont of the London
News says ho has boon shown proof by n
distinguished member of tho' Russian
Pan-Slavist party that "Akwikoll' was
murdered , us Gen. Skobeloff had boon. '
The informant dcclxnul flint both
murders were accomplished by the
Gorman faction , acting nt the beck o *
Prince Bismarck.
