The Now Town of Stockli.im.
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.

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

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

Paddy Hyan was knocked out In the
lirst round yesterday. 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 ! "
And drawliiK back his list he delivered a
blow on ' 'addv's right optic that lloored
the sable pugilist. A policeman was has
tily summoned , who hurried the disabled
bruiser to the station house , but before
reaching that lodging house his eye was
swelled shut. And thus for a moment
there 'iiznin rests a cloud on the historic
name of Kyan.

they had to be expelled ny the special

ugly , tore the ollieer's collar and nccktio
from his throat , and threatened to pound
him into mince meat. They wore safely

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

we never idontltidtlvcro thrco ( llUbrcnt

been in disguise trhi n abroad , and it was

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.

proposed a now treatment of neuralgia ,
or rather a now roineily 'to ' take the place
of morphine or cocaine , . The two gases
chloride of methyl ftm } carbonic acid
gas are reduced to a lluid and disin
tegrated into a spray ID i use. This mix-
turn boils at 28 degrees centigrade , and
will reduce thu tompo.ra.ture 20 degrees
below /oro , ccntigradit. The members of
the profession think taiJlhly of it. It is
already in use in Ettfopo and is to bo
manufactured in this country shortly.
For fear of losing a day's work , many
persons put oil taking physio until Sat
urday. The bettor plan is to not delay
but take It as soon as needed , It may save
you a hard spell of sickness , If you
want the most benefit from the least
amount of physic without causing you
any inconvenience , loss of appetite or
rest , take St. Patrick's Pills. Their
action on the liver and bowel are
thorough , they give a freshness , tone
and vigor to the whole system und act lit
harmy with nature.
