Sitting In thu pnrlor of the Ducking-

n small , rather protly girl , npparnntly
About seventeen years of ncc. She was
taken out of a French house of 111 repute
on Twelfth street Tuesday night , nt her
own raiue.st.
Theprl whogivcs licrtmmnns Blanche
Edwanls , tolls a paitieulurly sad story.
She hits honest , hard-working parents
living in Minneapolis , Minn , and has
been living with them up to a few days
ago. While in Minneapolis , she fell
into the hands of Mrs. Frank , the notorious
rious procuress of this eity , who , with
Bjiucious promises of eas.y and lucrative
employment , induced her to come to
Omaha. U'hcn she came here she found
that the promised situation was not forth
coming. and was forced to n lift ! of
filiame. Less than a week of this sort of
existence has taught her a lesson , and
flhu is now anxious and willing to return
to Minneapolis. She will probably bo
furnished with transportation to that
city and sent homo to ber parents. Ono
sad feature of thu case is , that since her
downfall , thti girl has contracted u horrible
rible and nameless disease.

The Ksplonngn mill Strictness of the
New I'ostnl O Ulcers.
There is quite a strong feulinir of ills-
gust cxperiedced at this time by a num
ber of the railway mail clerks of this di
vision. It js occasioned by the surveil
lance exercised over thorn by the depart
ment olllcers at Washington and the
manner in which that purvcilluuco visits
them in thu way of reports and punish
ments. Recently , one of the assistant inspectors
specters arrived in this city after a ride
In the mail car from Clioyciiiio. He had
witnessed the clerks register at the Chey
enne noslollico about an hour before the
departure of the train , and while waiting
for the arrival of the latter , the clerks
and the inspector walked around the
town. During this lime the clerks didnot
think it necessary to wear their uniform
caps. When the inspector returned to
Washington complaint was made to su-
superior ollicurs and the clerks wore
given ten days to say why they had left
oil their caps. As a consequence of this
Btrictnebs , every railway mail clerk from
the time ho registers before going out until
bo registers oft"at the end of his route ,
will not forgot nis caj > .
Since that time seven clerks in this di
vision have hail , as a punishment , their
wages for three months reduced from the
rate of § 1,000 to . < i < )0 ) per year , for hav
ing violated certain of the rules. Among
those were not performing service over
the whole of their line ; not properly re-
portjug on their arrival and departure ;
signing for other clerks , carrying whisky
on the trams , usnifj it to excess and al
lowing parlies to rule m mail cars who
had no business there. Those are but a
few of the exactions of the now manage
ment , and it is hinted that there will be
several vacancies as a oouscqu6nco be
fore long.

Tliolloblicr ofMIss O'Connor's Trunk
Dcnth at the HtmlY ; .
The UKE of Tuesday contained a de
tailed account of the successful attempt
made , by a narty assuming the disguise of
a policeman , to steal a trunk which was
on its way to Indiana , and belonged to a
Miss O'Connor of this city. The follow
met the trunk as It was being carried to
St. Joseph's hospital and ordered it back
to the Hotel Garni tuid thunoo to the
depot. lie then disappeared and hinco
that time mis hccn sought by the ollicers
of the city.
Tuesday a man staggered into Tone of
the hotels in Council Binds and had
scarcely time to tell the bystanders in
case anything happened to him to send
him to Ncohi. Ho then died.
Yesterday morning the ollicersin Council
Uhifl's came to the conclusion that lie
was in some way mixed up in a trunk
transaction , and having heard of the epi
sode above outlined , telegraphed for
homo olllcer to go over there and see if
the dead man was the party who had
been its prominent actor. Accordingly.
Olllcer Dempscy wont to the Bluffa ami
found the victim in the coroner's oflleo.
ami idontilied him as the man who had
stolen Miss O'Connor's trunk. It was
subsequently learned that the latter bad
been bent to Pacilio Junction , ami a tele
gram was sent to that plauo ordering it
back. It will probably roach here this
evening. The cause of the man's death is
unknown , but it is surmised that he com
mitted suicide. Ilia name was liaier , but
beyond that nothing is known of his
connections except as above stated.

resting easily. Kamscy was captured by
Ollleer White shortly after the trouble
occurred and taken up to jail. Ho
claims that the trouble all arose over his

A Jealous Husband.
A William Drown , who recently moved
here with his young and charming wife
from Chicago and has been clerking in
a dry goods store on upper Douglas street ,
figures in a sensational episode which has
just como to light. The young man it
scorns has been insanely jealous of his
wife , and would hardly allow her to look
at any other man than himself. Latterly
he has been wrongfully suspecting a near
relative of undue intimacy with
her. Night before last ho ac
cused her of all sorts of
misdeeds , and wound up by assaulting
her violently. Her screams aroused the
roomers in the same house , and rushing
in they found that the young man had
well-nigh choked his wife to death.
Yesterday Mrs. Urown's lawyer determ
ined to commnco criminal proceedings
against thu husband , but it was found
that he hail left the eity and gone back to
Chie.ago. AH ho will probably never re
turn , the matter will be dropped.

Snow-Shoo ThompHon'fl Ucmarkablc
Foals.
Overland Monthly : If nol the swiftest ,
it was universally conceded that even up
to the time of his death , Thompson was
the most expert snow-shoo runner in the
Sierra Nevada mountains. At Silver
mountain , Alpine county , Cal. , in 1870 ,
when ho was forty-three years of age ,
ho ran a dls-tanco of 1,000 feet in twenty-
one seconds. Thereworo
- were many MIOW-
slioer.s at that place , but in daring
Thompson surpassed t.icm all. Near the
town was a big mountain , where the
people of the place were wont to assem
ble on bright days in the winter , to the
number ot two or three hundred. The
ordinary snow-shoors would go part way
up the mountain to whom there was a
hunch , and then glide down a beaten
path. This was too tame for Thompson ,
Ho would make n circuit of over a mile ,
and come out on the top of the mountain ,
\Vhun ho appeared on the peak ho would
give one of his wild High-blorra whoops ,
poise his balance-polo , and dart down
the face of the mountain at lightning
speed , leaping all the terraces from top
to bottom , and gliding far out on the
level before halting.
Snowshoe Thompson seldom performed
any feat for the mere name and fame of
doing a difiicult and daring thing. Yet
W. P. Alorril , postmaster at Woodfonl's ,
Alpine county , writes me us follows In
speaking of some of Thompson's achieve
ments : "Ho at one time went back to
Genoa , on a mountain on Ins snowshoes ,
and made a jump of 160 foot without a
break , " This seems almost incredible ,
but Mr. Merrill is a reliable man and for
many years Thompson was a near neigh
bor , and a regular customer at his store.
Thompson doubtless made this fearful
leap ut a place whore ho would loud in a
great drift of snow. I spoke of this feat
to Mr , C , P. Gregory , formerly Thomp
son's neighbor in the mountains , but ut
present u resident of Virginia City , Ne
vada , and ho answered that although bo
had never hoard of Hint . .particular . leap ,
he did not doubt whatMt. Mcrritt said.
" 1 know , " said Mr. Hrrtpory , "that at
Silver mountain hooften made clear
jumpa of fifty and si sty ftct. "
Vmptrcn
Chicago Tribune : 3o.ibly llio most
popular umpire in the country to-day is
Joint Kelly , of the Amdriean Association.
Ho is very cool , has good judgmant on
balls and strikes , and , ibcing very active
follows the ball wherever thnre is a pos
sibility of close base plnyk so that bo can
got near to it and deeiclo Intelligently.
And j'ot ho often encounter ? n storm of
kicking. The ball players of both the
League and American ; Association say
that the secret of John's popularity is
that ho favors the homo club on all close
plays , and in that way catches the erowd.
Billy McLean , a Philadelphia pugilist ,
but an honest and fearless man , has um
pired for both thu League and American
Association. Ho was excitable and in
clined to resent annoyance. In 1879 he
was umpiring a game on the Lake Front
and Kclloy was behind the bat. He had
lined every man in both nines except the
genial Aliku. Finally a ball cainu over
the plate all right and Kelly in his most
persuasive tones said. "How's that ,
liilly ? " "Well , 1'vo lined nobodv yet , so
I guess I'll have to line you. That's $10 , "
was the reply , At Worcester , Mass. ,
McLean stopped a game ar.d went up
into tlioi'rnnd stand after a man that
had been annoying him and saw thu man
off the ground before the game began
again. On another occasion , at Phila
delphia , some parties-in the grand stand
kept up an incessant jabber about his
decisions. Ho turned about and ordered
thorn to shut up , and when they did not
heed he picked up a bat and threw it
into the bland , severely injuring an in
nocent man on the left arm. 'Another
time he throw a catcher's mask into a
stand.
THE TERROR OF THE TURF.
" 1'hll" Smith , the Vonth Who HUM
Mmlc u Fortune In netting.
New York Journal : George Smith , who
is known to turf patrons as "Phil1 , was
born in Sowickley twenty-three years
ago , and five years ago was a hard
working boy. lnring n strike at his
place ot employment he began to play
the running races at thu pool rooms in
this city , and to-day ho is worth $50,000
in cold cash , lie is ! ? ' , ' 0,0)0 ; ) ahead of the
game thus far this season , all of which
hu won at Chicago. IIis good fortune
has been simply astonishing. He i the
heaviest wjnnor in the west thus far this
year , outsulo of owners ot stables , and is
regarded as a second Plunger Walton.
He is known to every turfman of the
west and hi * judgment" is considered bet
ter than that ot any speculator of the
country. In I liicngo ho is the acknowl
edged king of them all and Is ruled as a
terror. Smith play * all the jumpers on
performance alone. Hu said yesterday
that luMiever got but one "tip'1 on a race
in his life. A Inend telegraphed to him
from New York , saying : "Play John B.
for a sure winner. " Ho went right back
to the telegraph ollico and wired his
friend to play Mentor , < who was in the
same race. The reMiltwas that Mentor
landed first and John JJ. did not gut a
placo.
His heaviest winning this season a race
wasi ? 1,000. This money Was won at the
pool rooms of Walpald & Co. , Kiley Male -
honey and the Derby IKJL ! rooms in Chi-
cugo , the day Alary Ktmludy won her
only rye ; of the season in the east. He
scooped in $ li)0 ( ) witli $1125 on Blackstone -
stone , in ono of his races at Monmouth ,
and beat Mute twice. The first time he
captured ! f2-100 with § 500 when Mule was
at Brighton Beach , and he won $1,800
with ! f00 ! ! when the same horse landed a ,
winner at Coney Island. ' As showing bis
judgment and knowledge concerning
horses , it is a fact that bo made .sovun
bets of iJoOO each with ! ! Jhn" Murphy , of
Chicago , horse against lioi'so , and won
them all. Then Murphy backed the
Dwyef Bros. ' filly , Bessie Juno , for $500
against Captain Sam Brown's filly , Li/-
7.10 Krcpps , and won the eighth wager ,
but Kropps has since blown that she is
superior to the Dwyer lilly.
Several attempts were made during
the summer at Chicago to "down '
young Smith , but they all failed. In
one race ho bet $700 that Bob Swine
would beat Charlie Lucas. The manipu
lators fixed Swine to lose , or "ttifi'encd' '
him , as the expression goes , but Lucas
ran last , and Swine was unplaced , .so
Smith only lost thu commission on his
money. Ho also backed Surprise to boat
Alcaria , and the former horse was fixed ,
but fortunate for .Smith both ran un
placed. After that Smith quit betting on
the jumper ! ) at Chicago and confined his
attention to the races in the east. Next
year ho will go to Jerome park , Saratoga ,
Monmoutli , Coney island and other east
ern resorts , and ho is sure to bo heard
from. He never drinks or uses tobacco ,
and is always ready for business. Dur
ing his career ho never bet a cent at faro ,
and never played a game of cards for
money. Ho said yesterday that ho would
quit the year over § 20,000. His parents
reside in Allegheny , and enjoy the thrift
of the Second Plunger.

keep the ball rolling we have placed on our bargain coiinters for this
week the following : One lot of Men's All Wool Oassimere Pants at
$2.60 , worth at least $3.50. One lot of Men's Blue Chinchilla Pea
