thought by the reading of the bids before -
fore they wore tabulated nnd figured

lowest , but this proves to bo n mistaken
notion. The bids were close , there being
four of thorn , the highest and lowest of
whioh were not f 4,000 apart , the total
amount of tlio work being between
$35,000 and f 60.000. It now appears that

tract , are the lowest bidders , ami to them
will doubtless bo awarded the contract.

The MjKtorlcs ofMonoy Orders.
Q"Say , liii : : man , 1 want you to sign
something liere , " said .Jim Bowman , wlio
has charge of the inonoy order dcpnrt-
nient at the postollice. "Hero's a money
order which was paid jou , and it lias
been sent b.iuk from Washington for cor
rection. You see the ndvica called for
the receipt to bo signed by the Omaha
BII : : , and boiides signing that you signed
your own n.unc , but they say that you
must sign your official position as well.
Just add th.it to the signature. "
"Unole Sam is getting very particular ,
isn't heV"
"Yes , they examine every little detail ,
and if there is as much as a scratch of
the pen that docs not tally it is .sent back
for correction. That money order was
mild last October , jou sue , and it has
been nil this time going through the mill
and getting examined and approved.- '
"Do you have many such cases ? "
"Yes every otlico hatches a lot of them.
Now hero is another , just like yours.
The man who got the order cashed is
secretary of the company , and ho signed
the company's name , and his own , but
did not puton the word "secretary. " It
is sent back to have that mil on ! Now
think of it , that order has traveled over
three thousand miles in all , has been
through probably thirty men's hands ,
, iind has boon eight months going through
the dillercnt departments , and the gov
ernment gets less than a dime for all this
work. Queer business , isn't it.
A FATAlTlMlUMl.
Andy Davy Jinn Doth Lees Taken OfT
IJy the CnrH.
Last night Andy Davy met with au ac
cident nt tlio dummy depot which will
probably result fatally. He was quite
drunk anil was staggering about
on the switch track between
tlio two platforms , when the
freight was switched in. Ho w s
struck by the cars , and the wheel passed
over him , cutting oft * both legs below the
knees. Ho also received some cuts and
bruises , mainly about the head. It is not
thought that ho can recover , lie
is about twenty-three years of nge.
and has been a hack-driver horu for some
time. Lately he has been at work in
Omaha , and on the railway about eight
miles out. His parents live hero , near
the Hock Island depot. He was mairicd ,
but did not reside with his wife. He was
taken to St. Joseph's hospital in Omaha
on the 10.25 dummy last night.

A Veteran Knife.
Those who frequent the court room
have noticed an elderly man sitting
usually at the end of ono of tlio long
tables with his arm resting thereon. At
the least disturbing noise , loud whisper
ing , movine about tlioroom , squeaky
boots , this quiet gentleman is noticed
rapping loudly on the tabio and looking
around as if ho would willingly line the
disturbers for making more noise than
ho does by the rapping. The end of tlio
lablo is well dented with the daily use of
his peculiar gavel. That gentleman is
Jo Morse , of Lovoland. The gavel which
ho uses as baihtr in preserving order is a
plain looking pocketknifc. It is a knife
with moro history than blades. It is
sixty years old and was owned by his
father before him. Tlio veteran knife is
worth examination , its construction
being so ditterent from tlio present man
ner of make. The buck is enclosed so
that the springs do not appear and when
what is. left of the blades are opened
there is no raising or lowering of the
hack of the knife. It is a curiosity , not
merely on account of its peculiar make
imd its ago , but also because it has not
long since wandered oil * into the pocket
of someone else than the owner. It is
wielded daily by Mr. Morse and rings
out as hearty a rap as in its younger
Jays , its voice not wcakeningiu the least.

In the district court the case of Wilson
ITS. the City is being tried. The plaint ! ! ) '
claims heavy damages on account of the
Indian creek cutting away a portion of
Ids residence property during the great
Hood yours ago. In drawing the jury
there scorned to bo a strong desire on the
part of the plain till" to bar out all persons
oaying taxes , apparently on the theory
that such persons would bo inclined to
favor the other side , and that they would
hesitate about rendering a judgment
against the city , as they would hare to
st.ind their share of tlie tax necessary to
pay the samo. The plaintiff claims Unit
the city by the manner of constructing
its viaduct at Bryant street , and by other
Improvements reduced the natural water
way so that tlio witter could not liavo a
free passage , aud thus his property was
ilnnugea ,
Mr , Wilson and wife ure here in person.
They have been living In Florida foi

The climate docs not seem to ail'cct hin

A Lively Hun.
L. B. Evans' horse and buggy were
hitched at the Noithwostorn depot yester
day morning , when a train came along.
The horse beuamc frightened and broke
away before Mr. Evans could stop him.
One of the wheels of the vehicle was
broken oft" and the buggy separated
from the horse. The animal wont tear
ing up Broadway , and ran straight to
Lund's stable on North Main street ,
where he is kept. Ho was found to have
received a serious injury in. the left hind
log , a tendon being cut partly oil' . There
is a possibility ot its growing together
again , however. _
The Ilambletonian stallion Arbitrator
can be seen at my stable on Fourth or
Bancroft street , three doors south of
Hatten hauer's carriairo repository. He
is a grandson of Bysdyke's Ilambletonian
on the sire side , and a grandson of Mum-
brine Chief on tlio dam side , the acknowl
edged principal producers of speed and
general purpose horses in America , anil
Arbitrator is no exception to tliu
rule. Ho js a horse of great indi
vidual merit and speed , and for the
purpose of convincing the breeders of
high bred horses that he is all that is
claimed for him , I will speed him a ten
or twenty-mile dash on the road to 000
pounds' weight , with any stallion owned
in the county. Breeders of high bred
horses will make a note of this , and
carry it in their hats , as the owner of
these horses puts all the money he has
and can borrow into straight horses , and
not into books , pamphcts and wind , talk
ing about their forty-second cousins' per
formances.
Also Colonel Uovc , bred by W. II. H.
Colby , of Fort Dodgo. la. , sired by Star
light , by Star of tlio West , dam by Coupon
pen , jr. , by Coupon , by Kysdyko's Ham-
blctonian , this colt is a stranger in a
strange land , but his breeding is certainly
all any niii n could wish for. His great
and positive individuality , his true anil
powerful stride , his wonderful constitu
tional powers , and his powerful steel-
converted framework , insure for him a
career that will place him among the
greatest if not the grandest stallions in
the west , D. GHAY.

Treatment and Baths Given Ladies by Mrs. Dr
Richards on Tuesday , Thursday & Saturday.
Electricity is a remarkable naturalagcnt which has long been known and utilized
as a remedy for disease and continued experience has unlaigcd its sphere of useful
ness and improved its appliances by which it is employed until its utility a n. ! virtue
has become second to no other known remedy , in the treatment of certain forms of
disease. This agent is employed here in all its most ferviceablo forms by the aitl of
large batteries , static machines , electric cabinet baths , clectiic water bath , the elec
tric cliair and electrodes for treating all parts of the body. We are prepared to do
all that can be done with these great remedies. In cases of Rheumatism , Neuralgia ,
1'aralysis , Spinal Irritation , Rectal Diseases , Nenous Diseases in female ! ) arising
from Uterine disorders and many other chronic and subacute troubles , it stands at
the head of all known remedies or methods cure. A thorough study of it for years
and the successful treatment of hundreds of cases , after all other remedies had fail
ed , is sulllcient evidence ofits great worth and perfectly satisfies us with its good
ell'ects on the diseased body. In the great hospitals and sanitaiians of America
and Europe , electricity is leading all other methods of treatment. In all leading
colleges the professors are teaching electricity as one of the potent remedies and a
special chair is appointed in manv of them. Many of the ablest physicians of all
schools are making a specialty ol'clcctricitv to tiie exclusion of almost everything
else. This great remedy has often fallen into disrepute by being recommended and
used by persons , and physicians , perfectly ignorant of its properties and powers ,
\\howoiiltlasoftenathiseand use the wrong current as the right one or depend
upon it in diseases for which it is not adopted. We are sure that \\l\un the people
become educated in the use of electricity for many diseases with \\hich the body
Is afflicted and find the great good therein , the medicines and patent righted nos
trums upon which they now rely will grow old and dusty on the shelves. Electricity
is nature's great remedy and to fully understand and skilfully apply it is our cflbrt
and aim in life.
