8 -THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : { THURSDAY , FEBRUARY 2 , 1888.
A FOOTPAD.
Capture of tlio Notorious Jnek Linger ,
Highwayman.
A suspicious character , Hiving the nnmo of
Dan Campbell , was nrrestcil Tuesduy nlnht
In the stnblo of It. B. Woods , on Cms , be
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. Yes
terday , on the nrrlvrtl of Jailer Ormsby nt
the Htatlon , ho took his customary glance
over the Inmates of the different cages , nnd
In Campbell ho recognl/cd John Lager , a
man who bus been wanted here for highway
robbery over since lust October. As the
police nnnitlH go , James McCulpln , of Vale ,
la. , WHS held up out on North Sixteenth
street during the second night of the fair ,
and robbed of $45 In money nnd n gold watch.
From the description given by MtCalpin ,
Lager wns the man suspected of having done
the job. A Sotirch was made for him , but ho
had Jumped tlio city , and only returned
Tuesday. McCulpIn was notified by tele
graph of Lnger's capture , and responded ,
saying ho would bo hero to iippour against
the limn In the morning.
More of Mayor llroatch'H Mistaken.
The numerous statements presented dur
ing the past ten days , showing the loose man
ner in which the city's finances worn looked
nftcr , hnvo drawn forth from Mayor
Uroatch several statements , nearly everyone
ono of which have been erroneous and so
proven by an examination of the books of
the city comptroller. Of course thcbu djs-
closures have been anything but pleasant for
his honor to peruse and Ilnally he has resorted
to a vain attempt of casting rellcctlons upon
the reporter , who , acting under Mr. Hose-
water's special Insttuctlons , made tin ex
amination into tlio city atTairs. In his note
ho says :
"The mayo/ says that , 'notwithstanding '
his lamentable ignorance of the financial af
fairs of the city , " that ho was right and the
reporter of the Hr.i : wrong. The actual
overlaps on outstanding indebtedness of the
llro department , which will have to be made
out of the levy of IbbS is * 'J,01 ! . . ' > , to which
there muv be some slight additions. "
In the Jlrst plnco ( thcro was no "overlap. "
Tha definition nf the word used in connec
I tions with debits nnd credits Is. that the dis
bursements exceed the income. The llro.de
partment , as will bo seen by the following
statements taken from the books of the comp
troller , cost the city 2i.'iI.Ul : ! less during the
six months ending December HI , 1SS7 than the
amount of the levy , and that the balance was
applied to the partial wiping out of nil old
debt handed down by u previous administra
tion other than that of the present mayor.
The statement Is us follows :
Levy for six months ending Dee.
ill , li > S7 $30,412-30
Amount old hose sold by IIre depart
ment 4T.70
Totnl $ : i,4no.M : ) )
Amount expended VIiU.US :
Halanco in fund SITS.'JS
Overlap from last year $ ll'J02.'jt :
Hills on hand not paid O.lMl.iiO
Halanco a , ICiO..KJ
Hnlancoin fund 1T8.08
Actual gain f2,8.19.91
The above is an nctuul copy from my
books. ( J. S. OooDuicii ,
( Signed ) ( Jily Comptroller.
The mayor started in with the declaration
that tno overlap was so great that the depart
ment would hnvo to bo decreased fully
50 per cent during the year Ibbl
ns the levy was inadequate to meet
the expenses. The levy will b > ; made next
Tuesday evening nnd if It is the same as for
the past dlx months will amount to * a'l,42'J.wi. :
Fifty per cent of that amount would bo $10-
721.18. Mayor Hioatch the same as said in
the llrst Interview published that the overlap
lor 1888 would bo over $ K , IXX ) .
Later , in the Herald , after the mayor wns
shown to have been woefully mistaken , ho
places the llcurcs at $12.000. nnd now ho has
dropped to $ ' .I , < H1.'IO , which is correct.
His honor , In his note , accuses the reporter
f "willfully misrepresenting" him. What
docs ho think of the above statements }
Mayor Hroatch further says that Comptroller
Goodrich denies making the statements
credited to him in Saturday's 13ni : . Mr.
Goodrich was seen yesterday and emphati
cally denies that ho over imido such a denial
to the mayor. Ho said that Mr.
Uroatch thought that ho was
responsible for an interview In which
the name of the gentleman interviewed was
not given and that was what ho denied being
responsible for.
How about "willful misrepresentation ? "
The subject is an excellent ono and n great
deal can bo said upon it. The following para
graph is clipped from Saturday's HKB :
It is quito likely that the removal of Mr.
Baker as superintendent of the city hall will
bo made permanent. With respect to tlio
Biliary of this gentleman for the months of
October , November and December , the
mayor says ho did not know of it in advance.
The comptroller placed Maker's nnmo in tlio
list of employes , and the council passed the
appropriation.
If this statement made by the mayor docs
not show lamentable ignorance , then it must
bo "willful misrepiTsation. " Comptroller
Goodrich threw Maker's name out of the gen
eral appropriation ordinance and is Indignant
that Mr. Hroatch should make this accusation
against him. The books of the comptroller
Bhow that Mr. Halter's salary of fl'J'.l.US ' for
the thrco months mentioned nbovo wns ul-
lowed-ln the amendments to n special ordi
nance passed by the council nnd approved by
the mayor.
If the reporter was wrong and the mayor
correct \yliy do both of the other morning
dailies ridicule the mnyor's statements as
foolish and untrue.
If the mayor Is not lamentably Ignorant con
cerning city linanccswhy are $ , r > 0iOO , ( worth of
warranty deeds , for land sold by the city to
private individuals , permitted to Ho in the
ofilco of the city treasurer when by enforc
ing the payment of them the general fl id
would bo greatly Increased I These deeds uro
for strips of land sold to property owners on
streets which were narrowed. Yet the mayor ,
ns the executive municipal ofllcor , lets them
remain In the treasury uncalled for. There
nro several other cases which will be called
to his honor's ' attention In the near future.
Railroad Notes.
> . ' Mil. TOTTKU'S ' UETIItCMKXT.
5- A reporter mot u prominent railroad man
5v
v yesterday and the conversation which ensued
led to the statement by the latter that Mr.
Potter of the Union Pacillc had told a Lin
coln friend of his Hint on the 1st of April ho
would resign the position of vice president of
f the Union 1'acillo nnd ictlro to his stock farm
V near HurlinuMon , la. It was n cherished tie-
sire of Mr , Potter's , the railroad man
claimed , to lay down the burdens of railmad
management and tnko up the lesser
nnd moreagreonblo ones of pnvato
business affairs. This had specially become
bt'como the case t'lnco ' Mr. Potter becnmo
connected with the Union 1'aulllc , the task
which lie has since performed being the
most exacting ho ever set himself out to no-
complisli. It Is known also that Mrs. Pot tor
has been and Is averse to her husband
longer continuing In the railroad business ,
and favors his retirement to their peaceful
homo near the city nbovo mentioned ,
when it is known Mr. Potter has an excel
lent farm. The Hiir.'s informant claims fur
ther that when Mr. Potter became associated
with the Union Paclllo his intention was to
remain with it but a corthln length of time ,
nnd that that period had been shortened by
the danger to his health which was occa
I sioned by his recent Illness , "because. " said
the informant , "Mr. Potter is not a well man
r by any means. "

Strange as Any Fiction.
St. Joseph correspondence , of the
Globe-Democrat : A wedding of more
interest than is usually attached to
events where the parties are so little
known occurred to-dno about four miles
west of St. Joseph. Tlio contracting
parties wcro W. li. 1'otter , living near
Denver , Colo. , and Airs. Julia Crumm ,
who for a few years ptist has made her
homo with her brother , Hoary Withers ,
in Doniphan county , Kansas. Both the
pnrtiof arc of middle ago , and hail not
been ono another for years until a
foxy months ago. When they were
children they went to school together
in Carroll county , Kentucky , and
when I'otter was ayoting man of twonty-
ono years and came west lie wan botliro-
thed to Julia Withers , who was the
belle of tlio neighborhood. Potter wont
llrst to Knnsis , and than to the moun
tains , returning to visit his old homo
twice in live years. On the hist visit it
was agreed that the marriage should
take place the following spring , by
which time ho hoped to have enough
money to miiko his homo what ho
thought it should bo. Ho returned
west and was not heard from for years.
Some ono who had known him in the
mountains happened to pass through
his Kentucky homo and circulated the
story of his death , founded upon a rumor ,
as it afterward appeared. His sweet
heart mourned him as dead , and in two
years wedded his rival , with whom she
lived happily for about eight years.
Her husband died in ISSo , when she
enmo to Doniphan county to make , hoi
homo with her brother , having no
children and no nearer relatives in
Kentucky.
Her husband loft her a considerable
fortune , nnd as her forty years biit
lightly upon her , she eoon hocamo the
center of an admiring circle ot friends.
A few months ago Potter cnmo
through St. Sosonh , quite accidentally ,
on his way to Chicago. Ho mot Withers
at the union depot , and , what is moat
singular , the men knew each other.
Explanations followed , and Potter was
driven to the pleiiMint country homo o
the Withers family IIo mpt his sweet
heart of early days , tjijd. 'the old love
which had not ceased to'burn in their
icarts through Jong years , soon nindo
tself felt. The courtship wns com
menced where it had been broken off ,
tnd the two wcro married , leaving this
jvenlng lor Air. Potter's home near
) envor.
ho strange pnrt of the story Is yet to
come. Potter , while working in the
nine * , had been accused of murdering
lis partner. Nqt.boidg able to estab-
ish his innocence' ' nt tno trial , ho wns
convicted and the sentence commuted
o imprisonment ilor life , several good
easons appearing for this. Too proud
o Imform his sweetheart or family of
lis dlsgarco , he did not write any letters
lomo about it , nnd the story of the
crime did not reach them. The inur-
ler waf committed in a new claim
vhich Potter nnd his partner had just
> ogun to work in New Alc.xico , and it
vns not known thuro what part of the
inst ho hud ho come from. After ho had
jeon in prison nearly live years a man
vho was to bo hanged made nconfession
clearly establishing Potter's innocence ,
iml ho wns released. Ho wont nt once
0 Ghent , Ky. . but found his intended
irido was another's. Without making
ilnisolf known ho left the place and re-
urned to Denver where lie soon amassed
1 considerable fortune by speculations ,
lo was on his way to Chicago to dispose
) f some property when ho accidentally
not his old schoolmate , Henry Withers ,
n St. Joseph. The wedding is one 01
he inobt , singular , because of the pe-
juliar history connected with it , that
ins over occurred in this section of the
country.

Silver Stnte : There is a pond on the
'My ranch tit Golconda , which is fed by
ho waters from the hot springs. This
) end has an area of two or thrco acres ,
md the temperature of tno water is
about 8o = , and in fcomo places where
the hot water bubbles up from the bot-
om the temperature is almost up to the
Killing point. Recently the discovery
insbeen made that this warm lake is
iterally alive with carp , some of which
ire more than a foot long. All efforts
o catch them with a hook and line
uivo failed , as they will not touch tlio
nest tempting bait. A few of them
nive been shot , and , contrary to the
general supposition , the llesh was hard
md palatable. How the lish got into
, lie hike is a mystery unsolved. Within
.IK ) feet of it are springs which arc boil- _

DON'T BLAME
a man for groaning when he has
Rheumatism or Neuralgia. The pain
is simply awful. No torture in the
ancient times was more painful than
these tin diseases. Hut oughtn't
a man to be blamed if , having Hheu-
matUiu or Neuralgia , he wont use
Ath-lo-pho-ros , when it has cured
thousands who have suffered in the
same way. It has cured hundreds
after physicians have pronounced
them incurable.
"The bkill of five physicians couM not
cure me of Uhcumalism which had settled
in the hips , neck and shoulders. So in
tense wa tne pain that sleep wa * almost
impossible. 1 he first dose of Athlophoros
Rave me relief , and the thir J enabled mete
to sleep for four and n half hours without
waking. I continued its use. and am now
well. KEV.S II TUOVKR.

CLEANING UP !
Our patrons , who at the opening of past seasons , have examined
our stock of men's and boy's clothing , will endorse when we state that
we enter a second season .with new goods only. Our spring goods are
already on the way , and we must make room for them.ftTe \ have not
the space to carry over a haavy stock of winter goods as is done by
most clothiers. Our largely increased business compels us to utilize
every foot of room in our establishment for the transaction of our
aily business and we are therefore compelled to close out every hea
vy weight garment on our counters. To do this we make any necessa
ry sacrifice in pricess. The reductions we have made on overcoats
and suits , and the values we are offering , will surprise everybody. To
bargain seekers this is the greatest opportunity , as the pri ce of every
garment is about one half what other houses ask for same quali ties.
To make a clearance of a large lot of all wool scarlet shirts and
drawers'we offer them at 35c. This is an immense bargain , as they
are good , heavy goods and would , in the early season , be cheap at 75c.
What little there is left of Fur , Jersey and Knit Caps , is offered at
one-half what they are worth. Closing out odds and ends of gloves ,
furs and mufflers , at greatly reduced prices.
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price.
