Quite a sensation has been developed concerning a traveling man , well known in western Iowa and Nebraska , and wlio for several years made ills residence in this city. His name is Henry L. Miller. While a resident of this city ho occuoied tlio house No. 1000 Fourth avenue , and was in the employ of tlio George K. Oyler manufacturing company. In 1883 ho resigned to take a position with the Weber wagon company , and was given the territory of eastern Iowa and Illinois , which necessitated his removal to Chicago cage , as a place of residence. While hero he is said to have been given to llirting with the attractive feminities in the several towns visited by him , and his wife is said to have had her suspicions aroused ana her jealousy constantly fed. Among those with whom ho was reported to have been on un duly friendly terms was a merchant's daughter in Norfolk , Neb. There were rumors hero that when on the road ho represented himself as a single man , despite tlio existence of a wile and live children in this city. His homo in this city was owned by him , and was littcd and furnished very nicely. Shortly before leaving hero ho i.s said to have borrowed ? 300 of J.V. \ . Kleeb , promising on his return from the trip on which ho was just starting , to givn as security a mortgage on his homo. Ho .suddenly sold his prop erty and shipped his goods to Chicago , ami Mr , Klcou and other creditors were left to mourn his departure. It seems that since leaving hero and taking up his residence in Chicago his wife's suspicions as to his infidelity have not lessoned , and the marital lifo has not boon sunshiny for her. Although getting a large salary she claims that ho lia.s been illy supporting her , and she has been obliged to take m Rowing to support the family. Her story goes further. Ho has boon remaining at home very little of lato. When ho would come in from a trip ho would sometimes not remain moro than an hour , and would start away claiming that ho had to start out of town again. She aid not like the way matters were looking , and so employed a detective agency to shadow him. A woman was sot on the watch and the feminine detective seemed a room adjoin ing ono occupied by a woman for wnom it was thought Miller had a strong liking. This woman went by tlio name of Mrs. Louis Miller , Louis being Miller's middle namo. The detective soon ascertained that Miller and this woman were living together , ami Satnrdaj last just as Miller was leaving the city ho was arrested on the charge of adultery. Ho was hold in ? )00 ) bonds. Ho telephoned to his em ployers to go on his bonds , but they replied - plied they were too busy to leave the ollice , so ho was obliged to go to tail The woman in the case is known as Ellio Smith , of Oquawaka , 111. Her famili are said to bo very respectable anc wealthy. She claims that she supposet Miller was single , and that she was mar ried to him in November , 18S5 , at her mother's house. The detectives doub that any such marriage ever took place as they can tind no trace of any license in the county where she lives , Mrd. Mil ler's lather , Mr. Mullican , of Monte zuma , la. , and her brother-in-law Mihon : Head , of JcUcrson , la , , are ii Chicago , mid propose seeing that her side of the atl'air is looked after. The District School. The. wonderful success of the enter tainment somp time ago by the Congre Rational church of this city , and known as "Tho Old Cushioned District School , ' has caused inquiries for particulars to coiuo in from all parts of the country In order to giro the uoedod luforinatinu o other churches and societies desiring o get up a similar entertainment , the de- ails and all needed instructions have ) ccn printed in pamphlet form. The mco is fixed at $1 a copy , and the pro- ccds are to go to the benefit of the Con gregational church of this city. The Kimphlet contains the full programme , ho ueclamations , compositions , various ranks and the full recitations , in fact everything nccdltil for a successful pro- dilation of the cntert'iinmcnt.

Hoover , whose furniture was attached on Saturday , was around yes- erday straightening up the unpleasant ness. In regard to the check he drew on Ollicor & Pusey , and which was dishon ored , he says that while in the Council Mull's National bank ho drew the cheek , nnd as there were blank checks on the same table he got hold of one of Ofliccr V : Pusoy's by mistake , instead of one of .he Council IllufTs National. He was hewing yesterday a statement of Mr. L. AV. Tulley's to corroborate this fact , and was otherwise trying to set himself right , and clear the record. The affair will doubtless bo settled.

Concert at ice rink this evening , COLORING A SLAVE. How a AVhlto Child Was Stained lilack for a Hlnvo Hale. "They wore a strange-looking couple the man about forty years old , dressed in a suit of blue jeans , well worn , and on his bullet head a crimson plush cap , fit ting almost as tight as his own scalp. " said a resident of St. Louis , relating nn incident of early steamboat travel on the Mississippi to a Republican reporter of that city. "Ho had a long , thin face , rat-like eyes , and a nose that almost de fies description. The child seemed to bo about eight years old and small for her ago. Her hair was very short , and looked as if it had been singed with a hot iron and then blackened. She had largo blue eyes and a complexion such as I never saw in my lifo. It was of a dirty brown , approachIng - Ing a nionso color , something like the discoloration produced by taking nitrate of silver. She was dressed in the usual style ot fanners' children in the winter. "In the afternoon , while the boat was steering past the shores of Arkansas , a number ot gentlemen passengers were sitting forward on tlio boiler dock in con versation. I noticed the Kansas man sitting near the company and scorning much interested in the talk. After the party broke up lie approached mo and inquired : 'Are you a southerner1 1 told him I was. Ho then said he had heard thai black niggers were worth a heap moro than white ones In the south , and if ho could get a partner that was all right ho hnd a plan to make a heap of money. I informed him rather shortly that 1 know of no one of my acquaint ance whom I thought would like to en gage in busmens with him , and left him "Tho stateroom allotted to mo was in the front part of the cabin , being one of the rooms oiiglmilly occupied by tlio en ginecrs , they navmg the room I was in and tliu ouu immediately in the rear , lu the bulkhead , or partition separating the two rooms , had been placed u window pane for the convenience of the ollicers who occupied tlio two rooms. On the morning after the day that I had the talk with the ei-dovaint negro merchant I awoke rather early , and , turning over in the beith , my face cama oppo.-ito the window in the partition , which prcvi mis to this time , had been elosyly covered from the adjoining room.

On looking through the Tlass 1 saw my queer acquaintance en gaged in staining the child from head to foot. She was entirely nude , and the operator had ti largo bottle ot a dark- colored lluid in ono hand , while in the other ho held a sponge. Ho painted her over with several coats bcfoio he was satisfied with that part of his work. Then lie took from his carpet-bag a smaller bottle , the contents of which ho applied to her hair \vith a brush. After tins ho dressed the child and put her out ol the room , telling her to go to the ladies' cabin , "Immediately after breakfast I went to the captain and told him what I had seen and my suspicions in regard to tlio man and life white negro. The ladies were in formed of what had taken place and volunteered to take the child In hand and llnd out all she could tell of herself and the man in whoso possession she was. "The ladies , with the assistance of the captain's wife , had taken charge of the little girl , ami , after relieving her mind of fears for she was in great terror of the man they found that she had been an inmate of an orphan asylum in Kan sas , and that the man liadtaiccu her from the asylum for the puruoso of adopting her as his child. His story was that he lived in Iowa , and that ho and his wife were without children and wanted a nice little girl to raise. The little girl , re lieved of the presence of the man , told a great many conclusive facts which could not bo doubted , and after aciitical ex amination by a Dhyhician , who was on the boat , she was pronounced without doubt a whitu child. The man with the red hat was locked in a state-room and one of the steamboat hands put as guard at the door. His carpet-bag was ex amined and found to contain a lot of re ceipts for dying black , along with the two bottles on winch were tables from a dying establishment in St. Louis. " Old Potter. Chicago Herald : "Out on our Nebraska line , near Sulton , Clay county , " suid a railroader who for many years had owed allegiance to the great Chicago , Burling ton ti Quincy , "there used to live a man named I'otter a rather old man who had seen better days , but who was then living in a dugout , about two miles from town , and elobo by the railroad track. He was a fearful old drunkard , too , and used to go to town about every other day and iill up at Pat Curran's saloon , starting homo late in the evening , and always taking the railroad track , Being an old man , and not able to stand such big and bad doses of limior as Pat gave him , ho often fell down on the track and went to sleep. Time and again our boys stopped their trains on discovering old Potter ahead , and of course , saved Ins lifo every time they did it. It got to bo so that it was u rule of the road along by Sutton to 'look out for old Potter. " Atter a. time the boys got tired of it , and got the local agent to notify the old man that he'd got to keep oil' the track or get hurl. This had no ell'ect , and Potter used our ties for a bed quite as often as before. One winter's night in 1874 Dave Thompson lie's now superin tendent at Lincoln , but lie was then a freight conductor ono night Dave was running an extra cattle train from Lowell , and as they reached the top of the hill going down to Button , Dave was in the engine cab and lie said : " "Keep a sharp lookout for old Potter. If he's on let's give him n scare. ' "Pretty soon the engineer sighted a dilapidated form ahead on the track , and declared it was that of the old man. 'Whistle for brakes , ' said Thompson , 'but let her run pnstty free , and we'll shake the old man up a bit. ' "The boys all entered into the spirit of the thing. Their purpose was to run the locomotive's nose right into the old man and rouse him without hurting him , with the idea of giving him a good scare. Hut the weight of the train and the grade proved pretty bad things to calculate to such a hue point , and when the locomo tive reached the old man the boys all had their hearts in their throats and a feeling that they were little better than murder ers. They jumped down , expecting to find Potter all mashed to pieces , but there ho was under the engine , snug up against the Hie box , where ho had been rolled and pushed along on the snow for two or three rods. He was evidently warm on the side next the/ire / box and cold on the other , for just as the boys got to him they heard him mutter : "I shay , ole 'oman , shay ycr pullin' all 'or cover oll'n me. ' "Well , the boys pot him out , and wore delighted to linil that ho wasn't ' much hurt. As soon as they got him thoroughly roused he was the most frightened man that eyer was. That scare proved his sal vationfor ho braced upandreformcd.iind now owns one of the linest , best stocked farms in Clay county , i got this story from one of our Nebraska men , and know it to bo true.
