STOOKITAM , Neb. , July 81. [ Corro- flpoiidencc of the Uii' : . ] The niarcti of progress in Nebraska is gointf on at such n rapid rate as to bewilder oven an old Bottler. A matter of great importance to the South 1'lattc country Is the Invasion of that territory by the great NorthNvost- crn system. Heretofore the It. & M. has Imd undisputed control , on their own ternij , of the immense business of this section. With the advent of the NorthWestern - Western It will have a competitor able to cope with It at every point. The result cannot fail to result to the general ad vantage of the public , including every variety of interest. Of the many new towns brought into existence by tlie.se new lines , one of the most promising is Stoekliam. It is situated in the rich and beautiful valley of the West liluo river near the old poslollico of that mum * . It is sur rounded by well improved and well stocked farms on all sides. The \ \ o t llltiu olfer.s a reliable waterpower easily utili/rd. Aurora , Harvard and Sutton are each about thirteen miles distant , with no other towns nearer , leaving a large scoim of country from whicii to draw trade and build up a thriving vil lage. The olHcialH of the railroad who were recently hero to look over the ground have approved the survey of the town made by the nartie.s who purchased the site. They expressed themselves as highly pleased with the site and the pros pects of milking a good town. Corn , cattle and hog.s are the staples of most value. It is a great cattle feeding region , and the big crop.s of corn wliieli are always the reward of good farming make this indiiHtrv a very profitable one. The crop now earing out is as good if not the very best over seen at this season of the year , Thorough cultivation has kept it clean and kept it growing , and the nrea is uncommonly largo. Literally speaking , "there's millions of it. " The Northwestern will lind a harvest of busi ness all ready to be taken just aw soon as the first train plows through , and Block- ham will bo 0110 of its most promising points. Prosperity. HUOWNVIM.E , Nob. , July 23. [ Cor respondence of the UKI : . ] Things are very quiet at present , the farmers being nil busily engaged reaping their harvest. and putting up their hay. The weather for the past week has boon extremely hot corn sufliurin.fr very much for want of rain. A small shower Friday evening , however , cooled oil' the air and caused the drooping corn to assume a more life like appearance. Wheat and oats are turning out much better than farmers had expected , from thirty-live to forty bushels per aero better than has been known for years In this community. Fruit In this section is not HO plentiful as previous years , but more peaches adorn our trees than for four years past. The merchants horn all seem to live in hopes that Hrownvlllo will again revive and put on the airs of "days gone by.

Not the Paddy who Is a proud dovotco of St. Patrick , but a1 sooty cclon of Ham bearing tfio same distinguished name. Paddy Is rather absent-minded , and a few weeks ago took a meal at a restaurant on the corner of Twelfth and Capitol avcnuo and forgot to pay for it. Yesterday Paddy stopped into the same eating house , when in most forcible English the proprietor reminded him of his oversight. Paddy , however , Indignantly resented this aspersion on his memory , and doub ling up his fists asked the proprietor if he know whom ho was addressing. "Yes , sir , " was the reply ; "a dcadbcat. " "No , sir , I am Paddy Uyan ; and now Oreparc for your first lesson In pugi- sm. " "Why , Patidv , is it you ? You are rather tanned. Hero , lake this with you !

MID WAYS TIUT ARE MRL The Vain and Successful Schemes of Wicked Men , THE VIGILANT DETECTIVE. A Hold Itobticry A. Cool Bonicthlni ; of tlio JInblta of the AVIly Mlilnltcht Visitors. Ten or twelve years ago , when I was on the detective force of Cincinnati , two or three very shrewd rascals "hung up" the town for three or four weeks in a way which annoyed us not a little. They were chaps known as porch climbers , and the way they did their business was simply slick. Torch climbing was then in Its infancy. A sneak thief nilpht bo ready to take advantage of an open door or window oti the lower story , but as for "shinning up" a column to reach a bal cony , or using a light ladder to enter a chamber window , no one had ever tried it. The very first job done by the gang re sulted in a haul of fliOO wortli of jewelry. Your common thief no sooner has any plunder in his hand than he hastens oil' to the pawnshop to make a raise. This jewelry was not put tip , neither wore the second and third hauls. 'Ihen wo knew wo had to deal with rascals who had come well heeled and were holding on to their stull'or shipping it to some other city for sale. The lirst three robberies were made at the supnrr hour , when all the family were in the dining room or down stairs. Tlio papers made such ado about it as to place citi/.ciis on their uuard , and the thieves changed their hours. It was in summer , and very hot weather , and aW un-tairs windows were open for ventilation. They went Into three or four houses throtich the second- story windows in the evcumc or up to as late as midnight , and cleaned out jewel cases without being scon or hoard. Perhaps the boldest feat was the sixth job undertaken. There was a small one- story house standing beside an elegant mansion. The little house was on a cor ner. One of the fellows mounted to thereof roof , crept along to the larger house , and then ascended the tin conductor on the big house to a bath room window. The blinds inside were locked , but ho hung to the sill with one hand until ho could open them with tlio other. People on the street saw him , and a policeman called out to know what he was doing. The fellow was then sitting in the window dangling his legs in a caielcss way , and he replleu : "Jim and I do that for exercise every night. " With that he disappeared into the bath room , anil proceeded to ransack the vari ous rooms on that lloor. It seemed that all the family except a daughter were away to a neighbor's , anil the young lady hod a beau in the parlor. The servants were out on a rear veranda , and the rooms were thus at the mercy of the thief. He took his time in making his search , and , while ho was after money and jewelry - elry first , he did not despise laces , opera glasses , and valuable bric-a-brac. lie made up a largo bundle of stull' , took a cigar which lie found on a mantel , and was pulling away In the coolest manner when ho descended the front stairs. The girl heard him and came out into the hall and asked : "Did you want to see papa1' "Yes my dear. " was the ready reply ; "but ho seems to bo out. Tell him 1 called , will you ? " "What is the name ? " "Wllcox Judge Wilcox. I brought my Kgytian curious over for him to look at , but some other night will do as well. " She saw him depart without a thought of how ho entered , and the robbery , was of course , discovered later on. The do- tectivcs wore instructed to lot everything drop to hunt down thcso slick fellows , and there was any amount of cursing and jawing at our 111 luck. Wo had every ho tel and boarding house under strict scrutiny , but wo could turn up no sus picious characters characters answering to the description of thcso. The man who sat on the sill of the bath room win dow was said to have long black whisk ers. The ono who passed for Judge \ \ ilcox had auburn burnsidcs , and tvas an uuctous sort of a fellow. Five hun dred men could have been found in a day's hunt to answer those descriptions. For many days the postolllco was watched , strangers were dogged about , depots guarded , and gardens and concert halls looked after , but we made no ar rests. At least every second nij'h there was a robbery , and every .second day the papers had an opportunity to come out with a fresh artiele and belabor us. Wo were seemingly doing all that men could do , and our position was truly uncom fortable. The climax came about in the oddest sort of wav. On ono of the fashionable thoroughfares lived an old maid that is , she was one of a family , being , if I remember right , the man s sister. She was pretty well off , and always had several hundred dollars in a bureau drawer in her room. She had read about the work of the gaug.and waa in a state of terror for fear the house would bo visited. Ono day a brilliant idea occurred to her. She would cap ture ono of the mob. She planned It that ono of them would climb up to her corner window by means of the conduc tor , enter without disturbing her , as she was n sound sleeper , and go for that money. What did she do but go out and buy a stool trap something big enough to hold a fox. She got ono of the sor- vanu to set it for her , and the open trap was placed in the bureau drawer , and the chain led out through the back side ami made fast. Two nights passed without another depredation. We were keeping a sharp lookout that the fellows had to bo moro fly. On the third night , at exactly a quarter of 12tho old maul was aroused from her deep sleep by a human yell of pain , and she was no sooner on end than she saw she luul caught her man. He was down on his knees in front of the bureau , and both bauds wore fast in the trap. His lirst yell was his only ono. When ho found the woman was awake ho calmly ob served. "Kxcuso mo , but I think Pm In the wroug room. Please don't make any disturbance about it. " "Who are you ? " "A friend of Will's , and wo botii came homo a little sprung. Won't you please huh ) mo to get my hands loose ? " 'Ihero was a W ill about the house the man's own eon but he had not been out that evening , nor was he in the habit of drinking. Without getting out of bed the woman touched an electric button , and within ten minutes the house was aroused and two policemen had the man In charge. The jaws of the trap had caught him about the wrists , and ho had tiiitVerod a good deal of palu. He was the Judge Wilcox chap , burnsidcs , unc tion and all. When taken to thn station his whiskers were found to bo glued on , and ho also had a falflo wig. When those were removed ho stood forth as port and trim a thief as you would wish to over haul. Ho turned out to boa .Now Or leans man named Davis , and was only twenty-six years old. The capture of lUvis's partner fol lowed swiftly , and alio in a curious way. As a tram was about ready to leave for the north , a spruce young fellow came into the baggage department at the depot to get his trunk checked. It was tlioro nil right , but ho got into a jungle with the expressman about the charge for bringing It down , and the depot olllcer lipa-Uy arrested both , On the way to the 'station.tho young fellow tried to bribe the otlicer , and that settled him. Wo went for ' the trurik , and when It was opcnrid cvrrr dollar's worth of property which had been Melon wns found thctein , If tliero was a third man In the party , which some of us believed , he saved ins bacon and got out some other way. In the baggage ot tlii ) sncoud man , whom we never idontltidtlvcro thrco ( llUbrcnt wigs and whUkcrs to match. Both had been in disguise trhi n abroad , and it was little wonder wo conld not spot the right men. lioth are still In prison , or have not been at liberty over a year. THE DRUNKARD'S"OATH. . A Story Thnt Is , licit or Than n Tem perance Lecture. Toledo Blade : A thin-faced , hungry- looking woman , whose tattered dress scarcely covered her nakedness , dragged herself wearily along St. Clair street ihe other night. It was In the gildcd.section of the street , and tlio dons of vice and infamy wore in full blast. The fiddle made discordant shrieks , and the piano rattled as the woman peered Into one and another of the vile places. liv her side was a girl of twelve or therea'bouts , ragged like herself , but with a face that was beautiful , oven though tear-stained and cloud-cast. They had nearly reached the bridge , when cuddenly both stopped. Their eyes had caught sight of the one they sought. Ho stood in front of the bar in a dirty looKiug place. Ho was leaning carelessly against the bar , his head resting upon his left hand. In his ritrht ho hold a glass of beer. Ho was without a coat , and the rod sleeves of his shirt were scarcely of a ruddier hue than his face , which was swelled and bloated. Ho was a man of largo , powerful frame , seemingly capable of doing a largo amount of work with little exertion. The woman watched him full live min utes and her eves llashcd as she saw him pay for the drinks , not for himself , but for half a do/on other men , who were in all stages of drunkenness. Finally she turned toward the girl , who was nearlv ready to cry , and , whispering a few words to her , left her standing on the sidewalk , and , walkintr rapidly Into the saloon , she made straight for the man in the red shirt. "Jim , I want you to come homo. " The person addressed turned around , and , looking at the woman contemptu ously , said : "What do you want of mo ? What arc you doing here anyhow ? " and when he had framed the two questions ho cm- pha.si/.cd the displeasure evident from liis looks by soi/.ing tlio woman by the arm and pushing her toward the door. She turned ashy pale as the man laid his hands upon her , and then drew her re volver , which slie almost thrust into his face. "Jim , " said she , her voice choking with emotion , "you must come homo witli me , or I will shoot you. L have worked myself nearly to death for you , Jim Arnott , and instead of hclpiui ; me you steal my earnings and come hero to drink it up. Wo have a babe at home , aud God knows it sutlers for want of enough to cat. Li/ is outside , and the .poor . girl is so faint and hungry that .she can hardly walk. Look at mef The woman you promised to cherish and protect , Jim Arnott , in rags almost to nakedness , and without a mouthful to eat since morning. \V'e \ might have beeit happy if you had let drink alone , Wo might be respectable to-day but for your want of manhood. Como home , I say , or I will shoot you , as true us'- there is a God in heaven. " She alm t shrieked the last words , and Jim ArnoU was not so drunk that ho could faeo the glittering barrel of the revolver. Ho muttered something as a sort ot farewell to Ins boon com panions , and then | ccj the way out , fol lowed by the woman. , The reporter who had witnessed thn performance walkcdoter ( the trio. A long distance out from the center of the city the wife and daughter almost dragged the half-drunken man into a plain , single-story cottage. In a moment a faint light gleamed through tlio windows dews , which wore devoid of shutter or shade. The interior of the room was OTldence enough of the pinched poverty which dwelt there. A deal-table , two or three rough , wooden chairs , an apology for a stove and a cot constituted the fea tures of the outfit. The reporter had only time to take a curscry glance through the window , when Ins attention was attracted to the cot. The mother h d stepped up to it as soon as she had lighted the feeble lamp. Her back was toward the reporter as she stooped over the cot. Hut only for a moment. Suddenly she throw her hands wildly above her head , and , with an agoni/.iug cry that would hw.vo pierced the stoniest heart , she fell across the cot. Arnott sprang towards his wile , and , rougli though ho was , lifted her tenderly up. Then , for the lirst. time , the reporter caught a glimpse of the pale baby face that peeped out fem the sheet. The next instant Arnott had left the cottage and was tearing town the street. A few minutes later and ho returned , followed by a doctor. They entered the cottage , and the latter walked straight to the cot , stooped over , placed his _ hand over the child's heart , withdrew it , knelt down , and then placed hi * car close to the in fant's breast. As he arose he turned to the anxious parents , who were watching every movement closely , aud shook his head. Another cry from the mother , who atrain threw herself on the couch , startled the reporter. The doctor left the house , and the living wore alone with their dead. It was impossible to hoar what was said in that house , but the reporter was a witness to what happened. For a long time tlio mother lay motionless across the cot , clasping tlio dead body of her infant to her breast. Lion the other side , was vainly endeavoring to get her mother up. Finally she arose , and going straight to where her husband sal , with his face buried in his hands , touched htm on the shoulder. Then , taking ono of his hands in her own , her tear-stained face turned piteously toward him , she led him , al most by sheer strength , to the cot. Then she spoke to him , and he knelt , she by his side. Ho raised his right hand to heaven , and the reporter could only see the wo man's lips as tlicr moyoU , but the panto mime was too real to be misunderstood , and no man could take a holier oath than that taken by James Arnott in the pres ence of his dead child.
