UK WHO KiailTS AND HUNS AWAV ,
Mayor Sawyer stepped from the No-
brasku City train at the depot yesterday
twelve hours after the close of the day
that lie had set in force proscription
laws. The bandbox mayor evidently be
lieved in the old adage that "he who
fights und runs away will live to light
another day , " for ho uttered his prontin-
clamento Friday , ordered the chief of po
lice to entorco it , nnd on Saturday folded
his tent and betook himself from the
city until the storm had blown
over. In the midst of such expres
sions of bravery in enforcing laws
it would have looked better in
the lord mayor to have remained on the
Held of battle and received at short range
nfew of the compliments of the day
rather than go into the "marine hos
pital" at Nebraska City before enforce
ment commenced.
In this connection it was stated ycster-
dav that the city attorney was also out
of town , whose duty it is to draw up and
prosecute these complaints , and inquiry
at police headquarters showed at noon
that no warrants were out. The ma } or
fihouhl either brace up or let a reasonable
republican council help him out ; and
that without trying to lay it all to the
council in advance.
STAIK HOUSE NOTCS.
To-morrow the board of educational
lands and funds will meet at the commis

The meeting of county superinten
dents calied by State Superintendent Lane
will be held at the office of the latter in
the capitol building on the 13th. It is
important that all county superinten
dents in tills section of the state attend.

BASK HALL GAMES.
When the Lincoln club returned from
Omaha on Sunday evening a largo dele
gation of base ball enthusiasts met them
ut the depot and escorted them up town.
The victory of the club was somewhat
unexpected and created great enthusi
asm. Sunday evening the Denver club
arrived from the we.st and took up quar
ters at the Capital hotel. The club will
meet the Lineolns for the second time
this season at the base ball grounds to-day
for a series of three games. The now
cyclone pitcher purchased from the Phil
adelphia league team is expected daily ,
when the Lincoln battery will bo greatly
strengthened.
THU THIHO AUCTION SALE.
The third auction sale of city lots was
held yesterday afternoon and attended
by a largo crowd. The sale was of Smith
Park addition lots owned by Mr. Frank
L. Sheldon , of the street rail way line , and
free cars carried all to the edge of the
addition who desired to attend the sale.
The sale seemed to be liberally patron
ized and prices received were satisfac
tory. In fact , all the auction sales thus
far hold have shown a tendency to
strengthen rather than weaken prices in
Lincoln realty and put money in the
L purse ot those making sales. .

His excuse was that ho had bcon on a

They wave their arms on high ; they
make gestures of fury with lianas
clinched ; they gnash tiieir tcoth open
mouths without lips roll great eyes
without eyelids with an expression in

nerves laid bare , run winding over their
limbs , which have till been designed witli
startling anatomical exactitude. They
have been painted in bloody red , m
cadaveric blue , in greenish tints like
living bodies llayed , or like corpses , with
all the hues of quick-nosh or of rotten
ness. About the year 100' ' ) of pur era ,

SENTIMENTAL SONG SCORES.
Great Composer of Small Scales
Songs "With Pntll 1'rlces
for "Woodman , Spare
That Tree. "
A writer in the Chicago Times thus
speaks of Henry Kussolltho famous song
writer : Those who were residents in the
old country a quarter of a century ago ,
or perhaps even a little farther back.will
remember that certain songs wore sung
everywhere , which had a marvelous in-
lluonco on the imagination , and some of
which , no doubt , greatly colored the
youthful conception of what this western
hemisphere is. It may bo almost cer
tainly believed that the songs of Henry
Hussoll led many an aspiring youth to
determine on leaving home for these
shores. The writer can remember , as if
it were but yostorday.sinjringon the Pent-
land hills on a bright and happy holiday
the lines which begin :
To the west , to the west , to the land of the
free ,
Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to the
sea ,
Where a man Is a man if he's wilting to
toil ,
And thn humblest may gather the fi tilts of
the &uil.
What a glorious vision , even in dear
old Scotland , those words summed up !
And perhaps no tlrcam of boyhood's days
was ever founded on more of actual re
ality. Does the reader know who Henry
Hussell is the author of the imtriie to
"U'oodman , Spare That Tree. " and the
once famous "Cheer , Boys. Cheery" 1
remember well the Fourth regiment
marching down the high street of Ediu-
burg.starting for the Crimean war , some
where over thirty years ago. Alasl how
few of those brave lads lived to see homo
again. As they marched , clean , strong ,
and bright , if not g ly , it was that air the
band played :
Cheer , bovs , cherr no more of litlo sorrow.
Its author at any rate it still alive , halo
and hearty , a man of seventy-four sum
mers.
Probably the best known monument m

as familiar to the townspeople aitd resi

joy the acquaintance of the genial old
gentleman , of rathci military appear
ance , that face simply is welcome as the
face of an agreeable friend. Few are aware
that the white hat covers the head of a
man who was a giant among entertainers
and one of the most successful composers
of our century , if lasting popularity may
bo considered the criterion of success.
HIS I'lIUT SfAUT.
Henry Russel made his name when
comparatively a young man , and was
entertaining as early as l&W. Ho was
born at Sheernoss. "Yes , 1 started at
Rochester , New York state , as an organ
ist. The pay was a pittance. I deter
mined to try New York. I made my
debut there at the old music hall ; it was
in that hall that nil the best concerts
were given. 1 may say now , and say it
without brag , or what we call in America
'blow , ' that the ofleet of my descriptive
songs was great from their novoltv ,
and certainly they did inako
a very extraordinary impres
sion in fact , a furore. I made
my pile quickly and oasily.and I soon in
vested foO.OOO in the United States bank.
Tito bank collapsed almost immediately ,
and my competence disappeared at one
blow. I was again plunged into com
parative poverty. One day 1 was walk
ing along Broadway ; I was nearly penni
less and much depressed. 1 heard a man
grinding ono of my tunes on a barrel-
organ. I was pleased naturally and my
pulse quickened. Had his' organ bcon
made in the States ? The organ-grinder
was an Italian. I addressed him. 'li
clic p.irto venite tu ? ' 'Do Parma.signor. '
'Et qui a fatto quol organo ? ' 'A Briming-
ham , signor. ' Two of the airs the man
was playing were "U'oodman , Spare
that Troti , " and "The Ivy Green" two
of my airs. 1 grasped the situation. My
tongs had become popular in England.
UUFOKK THE FOOTLIGIITb.
"I started for the old country at onco.
In three or four weeks 1 was offered a
good engagement by Bealc. the im
presario. It was for a tour of six months.
Patti , Dohler , Lablacho and his wife
wore members of the company. The
terms were muniliciont ; I need not say I
closed with the oiler at once. That tour
was an enormous success , At its termina
tion 1 was ollcrcd an engagement , on still
bettor terms , but I had determined to
give an entertainment and bo my own
master. My only predecessor in this
line had boon Footo , Dibdin , the older
Matthews , and Yatcs. I opened at Han
over Square looms ; crowded houses fol
lowed. 'Tho Gambler,1 'Tho Ship on
Fire , ' 'The Maniac' were the talk of the
town ; in fact , 1 was a draw. My pre
vious experience as an organist was of
great help to me. I am of opinion that ,
the time being altered , any well known
sacred song is certain of popularity
Possibly the old tunes come back to us.
I can give you several instances of this.
The hundredth psalm played quickly
produces'Old Dan Tucker. ' Several of
my best known airs arose from this dis
covery. I remember that I first arrived
at this conclusion when idly running my
lingers over my organ keys at Rochester ,
" 1 suppose 1 stirred the audiences con
siderably. On ono occasion I was invited
to Hanloy to give u benefit entertainment
for the Staffordshire potters , who were
in much distress. After I had sung my
song , 'There's a Good Time Coming ,
Boys : Wait a Littla Longer , ' a man in the
crowd rose excitedly and shouted : 'Mus-
tor Russell , can yo hx the toimo ? ' An
other workman in the reserved scats
stood up and quickly said : 'Shut oop ,
man ; Muster Russell'll write to ye.1 At
Newcaatlo-on-Tyno I gave the 'Gambler's
Wife. ' 1 may tell you that the wife is
awaiting the gambler's return. The
clock strjkes 1 the clock strikes 2 the
clock strikes 3. As iho clock strikes 4
the young wife , clasping her child
to her bosom , dies in hopeless despair. A
woman stood up in my audience nnd em
phatically declaimed in a shrill shriek :
'Oh ' , Mr. Russell , if it had boon mo ,
wouldn't I have fetohod him homo ! ' "
"WOODMAN SPAIU : THAT TUKE. "
In earlier days , as ho was singing
"Woodman Spare That Tree. " an old
gentleman cried : "Mr. Russell was the
tree spared ? "It was sir , " was the an
swer. "Thank God for that ! " he exclaimed -
claimed with a sigh of relief. The real
istic character of Mr. Russell's songs ,
and the impression of actuality which
they gave the minds of the people are
shown in another anecdote. On thu
"Newfoundland Dog" being sung , a
piece which described the dog saying a
child's life. a north countryman ex
claimed : "Was the child saved , raont"
"It was , sir. " With the anxious look
of ono asking a great favor the
man asked : "Could yo got mo a pup ? "
Henry Russol has written the muiic to
between seven hundred and eight hun
dred songs , the words of many of thorn
being by Thackeray and Dickens , Charles
Mookay , Tennyson , Longfellow , George
P. Morns , and oven the immortal Tup-
per. Many of the.se tongs are engraved
on the hearts of the English speaking
race , Probably such songs as "Cheer ,
Boys , Cheer , " will never die , although it
is extremely ditlioult m such matters
to predict immortality with any
certainty. It is quite certain that many
tongs seemingly possessed of every qual
ity requisite to secur6 permanent lodg
ment in the popular mind , do perish un
accountably , while ] others thrive vigor
ously that oughtn't to } so far as one can
itidge. The composition of songs in Mr.
lutsoll's early days was not rontiir.oratlvo
work. The composer ot very small pay
indeed , and rovallics tn 'those days did
not exist.

VALUK OK OLD T1JIK SONGS.
To show the real yaluo of u popular
song as a commercial article , it may Jbe
mentioned that over a law suit concern
ing the "Old Arm-Chair" words by
ElT/.a Cook.muslc by lit-nry Russell with
which , however , neither individual had
anything to do the suin of $85,000 was
expondedl A good "Old Arm-Chair" for
the lawyers , at any rato. It is interestIng -
Ing to note the prices Henry Uusscll cot
for some of his most famous songs. For
"The Ship on Firo" ho was paid | 5j for
"Tho Maniac , " $3 ; "The ( tumbler's
Wife. " fi ; "The Ivy r.reon , * ' $2.50 ;
"There's Good Time "
a Coming , Boys ,
$10 ; "Cheer , Boy ? . Cheer , " $15 ; "The
Slave Shi,1' ] ' $3 ; "Alan the Life-Boat , "
$2.50 ; "Woodman , Spare That Tree , "
$10. Over two hundred songs were written
by him gratuitously. Of course ho made
his money by singing his own songsbut in
doingso fie made them so immonselypopu-
lar that the publishers reaped a splen
did harvest. They were not always un
grateful. On going down to the store of
a celebrated music-seller to inquire how
his song of "Cheer , Boys , Cheer , " was
going , the gratifying reply was : "Wo
nave thirty-nine presses at worK on it
day and night. " The publisher in this
case did not forget the author , sending
him a magnificent plateau with the sim
ple inscription , "Cheer , Boys , Cheer , "
and a handsome check.
His success as a composer of negro
melodies was also remarkable. After
Itiee'.s "Jump , Jim Crow , " his were the
most popular of all negro songs. "Buf
falo Girls" and "Going Obcr do Moun
tains" are examples , Ilnssol says that
his great object in those days of discon
tent was to make thn woikingman less
hostile to the capitalist and the capitalist
appreciate the workiigman thus con
verting music and poetry into u moats of
creating friendly feeling between an
tagonistic classes.
SlOItV OF HKAIIAM.
Henry Kussol himself chums that he
was an apostle of emigration , and that
"To the West , to the West" was the orig
inal cause of ninny n man's good fortune
in fur-oft'lands.
As may be imagined from his extensive
and varied experience , as well as his un
failing How of spirits , ho has been n
great story toiler , nnd the following ho
gives its having happened on ono occa
sion when he was present ut a London
thealer :
Scone A forest , with village inn.
Landlord discovered. Knter Braham.
Landlord What brings theo hither at
this deadly hour of the night ?
Braham ( mysteriously ) I have wan
dered here through the dense forest in
search of one great object ; that object is
my father.
Landlord Thy father'
Braham Yes , my father. But that
voice ! I know its tcncsji they linger on
my ears with a musical sweetness that
never can be erased from my memory.
Landlord What meauH this ?
Braham ( striding towurd him and offer
ing to embrace nim-rIes , , you arc my
father.
Landlord Nay , never ! , I am not your
father.
Braham ( piteously ) TJien who is my
father ?
At this point a little 'Jriw ' arose in tbo
pit , greatly agitated ; " 1 know him veil , "
he said ; "his name is A by Punch , and ho
comes from the lann. " ' ( Petticoat lane. )
Braham , utterly staggered , stood help
less , while the luulicncq screamed with
delight. The opera was played out to
laughing crowds. Many bore witness to
the truth of the little Jew's statement ,
testifying : "Wo all jiuow'd , but he's
ashamed of it , ho is. "
A cockney audience of a certain class
soonis to bo exceedingly " previous ; " such
incidents would bo impossible in Chicago ,
anyhow or anywhere. Braham , it may
be sluice , was a well known singer of the
time.
MONEY IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Rich Discovery of Treasure in n North
Carolina Cave.
I met in Richmond the other day the
old man who was known in western
North Carolina and western Virginia as
Iho "Treasure Hunter , " and when 1 urged
a strong desire to know how he came by
his title ho expressed a willingness to sit
down for a talk.
"To begin with , " ho said , "I am a sin
gle man , and have no relatives in Amer
ica. I came from England in 187:3 : and
intended to buy land and settle down at
Greensboro , N. C. At Petersburg , Va. ,
while enrouto , I was taken sick and rob
bed of my money , some fO.OOO , and when
I reached Greensboro 1 had only about
$75 left. I was naturally broken up and
discouraged , and after a little time I
drifted into the mountain range to the
west of Statesville , found a comfortable
caye in which to live , and became a
hunter-hermit. For the first thrco months
I saw only two human faces. I became
accustomed to this wild and solitary life ,
and entered the towns only when driven
to do so by want of provisions or amtuu-
nitl on.
"It was one day in 1873 that I encoun
tered a hunter in the mountains who told
me that I was regarded by the outside
world as a treasure-hunterand that thcro
was much curiosity concerning my move
ments. It had been reported that 1 liad
found a box of gold in a cave , and u score
of men wore searching the ranges in the
hopes of meeting with luck. This was
the first time thu idea of treasure had
crossed my mind. In ray rough jaunts 1
had discovered several caves , but had
not stopped to explore any of them , as I
had not thought that they had over bcon
occupied by men. When I separated
from the hunter , who appeared to bo a
very honest man , I sat down to wonder
if it were possible for luck to como back
to mo through some rich find , and though
I smiled at the thought when it first came
tip , 1 soon became deeply 'interested ' , and
that night I scarcely sleptl for speculat
ing on what might turnjiup.
' 'Bright and early nc tjuornlnn ; I was
off up the _ range to the northwest , having
us my objective point a ( save which I had
discoveied months before in the Iron
Mountains , southwest of ) Morgantown.
It took mo n day and a haK to reach it ,
for it was in summer , aK4tho | mountains
were covered with plants , roots and vines
to obstruct travel. TUo , mouth of the
cave was under an overt-hanging lodge ,
where I had crept for sli&iler from a fierce
rain storm , and before leaving the neigh
borhood I entered it far enough to see
that it was u very roomy place , and that
fires had been built thermal some time
by the hands of man. "It seemed to mo
as I pursued my journey lhat this cave
would be moro likely than any other to
contain somcfhing , but the nearer I came
to it the more ridiculous seemed the idea
of treasure. Refugees and deserters from
the confederate army no doubt sought
the mountains for hiding places , and after
the war they were infested by outlaws
and moonshiners. I might possibly find
a rusty gun or knife , but I could hope for
nothing morn.
"I came to the spot about noon of the
second day , and to toll you the Irulh I
was quite disgusted with myself for be
ing carried away as I had been. I built a
lire , cooked a partridge I had shot , and
made no move toward entering the cave
for a couple of hours. Then I forced my
self against my bettor judgment to pro-
para three or four torches and' light' ono
and enter the place. The opening was
About a > large us hogsheadbut scarcely
had I gene ton feet when the c.irc became
a chamber. There was a pretty strong
draft coming out of improving that it had
another opening , and the lloor and sides
were as dry as -bono. . It was a good
place for sunkcs and varmlnts.attd 1 pro
ceeded very cautiously on that account.
"The firebrands 1 had previously dis-
covcrd had been disturbed. The lire
had been built just at the entrance of a
circular chamber which must have been
twenty-five foot across , nnd the draught
would take all the smoke out of the
mouth of the cave and scatter It among
the thick pines. I found not only a largo
heap of ashes and charred brand1' , but a
pile of fagots which had been laid aidu
and never burned. Nearby yore a moldy
old haversack , a heap of mofd represent
ing a woolen blanket , an army bolt , a
rusty revolver , a bayonet , a lot of bones
of birds and animals , and a pair of boots
which had become useless to the owner
before , ho threw them away.
"It was pliln enough that outlaws , de
serters or renegades find made this cave
their 'aiding place , and I began to look
for further relics. 1 started to the right ,
and circled the chamber just half , and
then came to a narrow pastagcwav load
ing into a second chamber. 1 wont back
and circled to the left , but found nothing
until I again reached the passage. Leav
ing a torch burning In the outer chamber
I lighted another and passed into thu
next. The rift or passageway was about
ten feet long , and there \ > as almost
enough draught hero to extinguish my
torch. The temperature of the cave
stood at about HO degrees , while that of
the summer day outside was fully 85
degrees.
"I found the second chamber to be an
almost square room , measuring , 1 should
think , 10x01. The floor was not so oven
as that of the other , nor was the roof as
high. The draught cauio out of a rift or
blowholes in the roof , but I could not lo
cate the exact spot. I had scarcely entered -
torod the place before 1 know that an im
portant discovery was on the tapis. Thcro
was a bundle of clothes njrainst the
rocky side , and two guns , which 1 after
ward found to bo shotguns of ancient
make , leaned againt the side. I approached
preached the heap of stutl' and began
tearing it to pieces witli my foot. The
articles were bettor preserved than in
the other room , probably because the
room was drier , and because they were
directly in the draught of the pure air.
Ono of the first things 1 kicked aside was
a small leather trunk , provided with
handles like a valise , and used as a valise.
It was of English make , and while it
must have been many years ola before it
paw the cave , and had probably been
there for several years , the leather
was still in good condition and
iho lock all right. There were in addi
tion to the sachet two iron kottlcH , some
tin and crockery disiios , some rough cut
lerytwo or three blankets and bcdquilts.
a sharp and rusty butcher knife , a suit of
rough clothes , a coarse pair of shoes , evi
dently worn by a female , and a small
wooden box in which I found buttons of
various sixes and needles and thread.
That two or three persons had occupied
the cave in company , and that ono of
them was a woman thcro could bo no
room for doubt.
"Tho trunk was the only thing likely
to contain any object of value , and 1 car
ried it out through both caves into day
light. Its weight led me to believe thr.t
it was lull of dishes or cutlery , and before -
fore I could break the lock ana get a
sight of the contents , I became so nerv
ous that 1 was all in a tremble. It was a
minute or two before 1 dared to inspect
the contents. Then I took out several
towels , two white skirts , two or thrco
line handkerchiefs , and then came to two
buckskin bag.s , which 1 knew contained
money. Ono was much the larger ,
and this I opened lirst , and found
it contained silver coins , most of them
dollars and halves of American coinage ,
though there were , perhaps , fifty Mex
ican pieces , the other contained gold
pieces , the denominations running up to
twenties and down to fives. There was
altogether $7,003.50. When 1 got over
my excitement I went back and carefully
examined every thing , hoping to got
some clew to the people who had occu
pied the cave , but found nothing what
ever to give mo information. I could
reason that the people had lied from their
homes , taking all their wealth , but how
many there wore or what became of them ,
were questions no ono could answer.
The money was not mine if the rightful
owners wore alive , but I spent six weeks
making inquiries , and learned nothing.
I then invested the money in lands ,
which I own to-day , and , although 1 am
no longer a hermit and cave-dweller , the
title of Treasure Hunter still sticks to me ,
and maiiy regard mo as a wi/ard. " '

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.
Hardly a week pa * e * without the men
tion bv the newspapers of sudden death * ,
and of late the alarming frequency o ( the
statement that death was caused by rheu
matism or neuralgia of the he.trt cannot
fail to hn\e been noticed. In all probabil
ity many death * attributed to heart disease
arc caused by these teirible diseases \\ltic h
arc far more dangerous than is cetieially
considered , Is there nny poMti\e cure ?
The best answer 'o such a question is git en
by those who have been cured by the use
of Athlonhoros.
Lonn Tine , Neb. , Atig.ll , 1SSG.
I suffered for years with neuralgia in my
head , neck anil face , and have spent , I
know , over $100 in trying to find some
medicine to relieve me , nnd found only
temporary relief in anthinj ; I tried tint !
I caw an ad\ertiscment of Athlophoros. I
ga\c relict at once , and after using on ,
bottle and a half I found lasting iclicf. It
helped and cured me where all other reme
dies failed. I have recommended it to
several of 1113- friends with like good result.
I have not had n return of the disease since
taking the Athlophoros over two years
ago. MRS. M. A , MoKroiti ) .

Athlophoros is giving unparallcd satis
faction in this locality as a sure cure for
rheumatism. J. Jaquc , a farinoi , near

months unable to walk without a crutch
J. A. Ogden of this place had for jcars
been tioublcd with rheumatism , oftentimes
unable to vrork. He never found a perma
