The remains were yesterday morning taken to Huron via Sioux City. TJio Mysteries of Money Orders. D"Say , BKI : man , 1 want you to sign something here , " said Jim Bowman , who has charge of the money order depart ment at the postollice. "Hero's a money order which was paid you , and it has been sent back from Washington for cor rection. You sco the advice called for the receipt to bo signed by the Omaha Br.n , and besides signing that you signed your own name , but they say that you must sign your ollicial position as well. Just add that to the signature. " "Uncle Sam is getting very particular , isn't he ? " "Yes , they oxaminn every llttlo detail , and if there is as much as a scratch of the pen that does not tally it is sent back for correction. That money order was paid last October , you sue , and it has been all this time going through the mill and getting examined and approved.1' "Do you have many such cases ? " "Yes every ollico hatches a lot of thorn. 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 , anil his own , but did not put on the word "secretary. " It is sent back to have that put on ! Now think of it , that order has traveled over throe thousand miles in all , has been through probably thirty men's hands , and has been eight months going through the dill'urcnt departments , and the gov ernment gets less than a dime for all this work. Queer business , isn't it. A FATAL DUD Ml. Andy Davy Has Both LRJJS Taken On" Hy the Cart ) . Last night Andy Davy mot with an ac cident at the dummy depot which will probably result fatally. Ho was quite drunk and was staggering about on the switch track between iho two platforms , when the freight was switched In.

Lately ho has boon at work in Omaha , and on the railway about eight miles out. His parents live here , near the Rock Island depot. He was married , but did not reside with his wife.

At the least disturbing noise , loud whisper ing , moving about the -room , 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 the table is well dented with the daily use of his peculiar gavel. That gentleman Is Jo Morse , of Lovcland. The gavel which ho uses as bailiff in preserving order is a plain looking pockotknifo. It is a knife with moro history than blades. It is sixty years old and was owned by his father before him. The veteran knife Is worth examination , its construction being so ditleront from the present man ner of mako. The back 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 back of the knifo. It is a curiosity , not merely on account of its peculiar make and its ago , but also because it has not long since wandered oft' 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 days , its voice not wcakeningiu the least. WIlRon WuniH In the district court the case of Wilson vs. the City is being tried. The plaintiff claims heavy damages on account of the Indian creek cutting away a portion of his residence property during the great Hood years ago. In drawing the jury there scorned to bo a strong dcsiro on the part of the plaintiff to bar out all persons paying 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 tc stand their share of the tax necessary tc pay the same. 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 the witter could not have e free passage , aud thus his property was damaged. Mr , Wilson nadwifo are here inpenoa They have been llv.lng In Florida for some time past. Mr. Wilson seems thin and not in as good health as when here. 'Iho climate docs not seem to all'cct him as favorably as ho had hoped. Kxtcndlnc Ill M. Duquette , of the well known whole sale fruit , confectionery and commission house , is about to embark in a manufac turing confectionery enterprise. This house was formerly known as Erb & Duquette , and until recently as Wirt & Duqticlto. Now that Mr. Wirt has re tired from the firm Mr. Duquette will re move from his old quarters , No. 10 and 18 Pearl street , to the Bloomer building , No. 1117 Broadway , which place is already being fitted up , and besides continuing In his present line he will also manufac ture choice candies. It is understood that after the necessary arrangements are completed that the firm name will probably bo Duquette & Co. Summer MKIU ConcertH. The move for a scries of concerts to bo given in Bayliss park jromises to bo a success.

The Bavarian band has complotad ar rangements to give a scries of concerts in the sanio park , the opening ono to bo Thursday evening , May li ) .

A few sportsmen of Council BluIVs held a meeting at the ollico of the county clerk last night for the purpose of organizing a shooting club. Iho following named gentlemen became charter members of the club : A.V. . Rcikman , S. Farnsworth , II. S. \ \ est , W. P. Wightman , C. E. 11. Campbell , J. T. Oliver , A. Bon-shcunt , F. P.

There will bo another meeting Monday night for the purpose of eHiicting a permanent organ ization. All persons who desire to be come members of the club are. invited to bo present at that time at the clerk's of- lice. _ A Lively Ilun. L. B. Evans' horse and buggy were hitched at the North western depot yester day morning , when a train came along. The horse became frightened and broke away before Mr. Evans could stop him. Ono of the wheels of the vehicle was broken oil' and the buggy separated from the horse. The animal wont tear ing up Broadway , and ran straight to Lund's stable on North Alain street , where ho is kept. He was found to have received a serious injury in. the left hind log , a tendon being cut partly off. There is a possibility ot its growing together again , however. The Hambletonian stallion Arbitrator can bo seen at my stable on Fourth or Bancroft street , three doors south of Hattenhauer's carriairo repository. Ho is a grandson of Rysdyke's Hambletonian on the sire side , and a grandson of Mem- brine Chief on the dam side , the acknowl edged principal producers of speed and general purpose horses in America , and Arbitrator is no exception to the rule. Ho is 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 monev ho has and can borrow into straight horses , and not into books , pamphcts and wind , talk ing abouUhcir forty-second cousins' per formances. Also Colonel Revo , bred by W. 11. II. Colby , of Fort Dodgo. la. , sired by Star light , by Star of the 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 man could wish for. His grea't and positive individuality , his true anil powerful stride , his wonderful constitu tional powers , and his powerful stool- converted framework , insure for him a career that will place him among the greatest if not the grandest stallions in the west.

Building , Treatment and Baths Given Ladies by Mrs. Dr Richards on Tuesday , Thursday & Saturday. Electricity is a remarkable naluralagcnt which has long been known nml utilized as a remedy for disease and continued experience hns enlarged its sphere of useful ness and improved its appliances by which it is employed until its utility a iu ! virtue lias become second to no other known remedy , in the treatment of certain forms of disease. This agent is employed here in all its most serviceable forms by the niil of large batteries , static machines , electric cabinet baths , electilc water baths , the elec tric chair and electrodes for treating all parts of the boily. We are prepared to do all that can be done with these great remedies. In cases of Rheumatism , Neuralgia , Paralysis , Spinal Irritation , Rectal Diseases , Ncnous Diseases in females arising from Uterine disorders and many other chronic and subacutc troubles , it stands at the head of all known remedies or methods cure. A thorough study of it for years and he successful treatment of hundreds of cases , after all other remedies had fail ed , is sulllcient evidence of its great worth and perfectly satisfies us with its good effects on the diseased body. In the great hospitals and sanitarians 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 yfl special chair is appointed in manv of them. Many of the ablest physicians of all schools are making a specialty ot'clcctricitv to the 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 powcrh , who would as often advise and use the wrong current as the right one or depend upon it in diseases for which it is not adopted. We are sure that when the people become educated in the use of electricity ( or many diseases with which the body fs 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 undcrbtand and bkilfully apply it is our effort and aim in life.
