Tlio Dodge Light guards liavo wisely
chosen A. w. Cowlcs ns their now captain.
He has been actively connected , with the
company from is organization , and has
worked for its success in all ways. Ho has
served acceptably as orderly sergeant , and
the promotion is worthily bcsto'vcd.
A fellow , apparently crazy , and giving hi *
name as Charles Shugart , was picked up at
Mcola nnd brought to this city yesterday.
Ho was placed In the county jail for safe
keeping nnd care. The commissioners are of
the impression that his insanity is the result
of strong drink and too much of it. nnd will
cause the young man to bo held for a few
days until it becomes clear as to whether ho
ought to bo taken to the usylum , or simply
BO DC rod up.
"Honor to whom honor Is duo. " The cap
ture of the burglar Hughes should have been
credited to Captain Anderson , of the Mer
chant's police nnd ODlccr Dyer , of the regu
lar force. Anderson discovered the crook
trying to break into Palmer's fruit store ,
falling In which the fellow went down Main
to Park's grocery where ho made another
unsuccessful attempt to enter. During this
time Anderson mot Dyer , who was on this
beat and together they nailed the fellow.
Some arrangement should bo made by the
county board by which the now court house
should bo connected telcphonlcnlly with the
rest of the city. The cost would bo trifling
in comparison to the convenience afforded to
the public , and to the county ofllclals. The
need of n telephone , or of several of them , Is
made apparent every day. Yesterday , for
instance , judge and jury , attorneys and
others , were kept idly waiting for nearly an
hour , for a witness who might have been
secured In ten minutes had there been u telephone -
phone in the court house.
To-morrow evening n rich intellectual treat
is promised all who attend the lecture to be
given to-morrow evening In the Temple hall
by Hon. 11. O. Herr , of Michigan. Con-
, pressman Herr needs no introduction In this
city , for ho Is not only known by his public
career , but ho has before delighted audiences
hero with his grand thought and keen wit.
His subject to-morrow evening will bo "Tho
Labor Question. " Everyone should hc'ar
him. The lecture is given under the auspices
nnd for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. , which
is another urgent reason for giving it a
hearty support. Tlio house should bo
crowurd , nnd the association given a rousing
benefit , for those thus aiding will gain much
for themselves in the enjoyment of this
gifted orator.

Tlio latest victim nt the transfer to the
wiles of the confidence mim with n big check
s known to the citizens of the Httlo town of
Hnwkpyo , Fnyctto county , la. , ns Herman
Wicr , and arrived at the transfer yesterday
morning shortly after 11 o'clock , on the
Union 1'nclflc train from the west , being en
route homo from Colorado Sprlngn. Shortly
nftcr his arrival he was spotted as u promts-
ng subject to "bleed" by two confidence
) | ) crntors. Ills earthly possessions were lim-
'ted to the amount of M , hut ho freely gave
_ t nil , nnd no ono would have been the wiser
: iud not John Qlilnn , night policeman nt the
transfer , seen the opcrutlonfrom his window ,
nnd saying to his wife , "I'll hot those fellows
are 'doing' ' that 'gray. ' " ho picked up his
revolver and hurried toward them. The
ihnrpcrs ilcil as ho approached. Ho asked
.lie granger what ho had been doing , nnd the
reply was , "Lending that man some money. "
This was all the jrollccman waited to hear ,
nnd ho took uftor the hotter dressed of the
fugitives , who was running like n deer for
Lho brush on the bottoms. The fellow refused
fused to obey n command to halt , nnd the
ofllccr opened fire. This hnd the desired
effect , and the crook was speedily taken Into
custody. The other sharper , who hnd per
sonated the express agent , ran up Eighth
nvcnuo until ho reached Thirteenth street ,
whcro ho found Dr. Bellinger's buggy , which
lie unceremoniously appropriated , nnd lushed
Lho horses into n run. Ho abandoned the
team on Ninth street , near the dummy depot ,
nnd all trace of him was lost.
The captured crook gave his name as John
Grant , but when taken to the station ho was
quickly recognized by the police as Jack
Kane , nn all-around crook and desperate
criminal , who was sent up for tv two years'
term about six years ago on u similar churgo
to the ona now entered against him. Ho is
in every sense a , had man , and In the ono Who ,
with three others , attcniptcd to waylay ex-
Policeman.Stevens ono night In Omaha , to
"get even" with Slovens for arresting him.
The evidence against him is of the strongest
character , and ho is assured of a lengthy
term at Fort Madison. Ho nnd the burglar.
Hughes , wore tnkcn to the county Jail nnd
locked up for safe keeping. Kane's prelim
inary examination will take place to-day.
Wlor , the victim , scarcely realized , even
after the arrest , that his "borrowing friend"
was n crook , but will probably be ublo to col
lect Ills ideas by the time of the trial.
Tbo sharper who escaped is described as n
very short , slim man , with n sand ) mus
tncho , nnd wore a cap nt the time. However
the worse criminal is captured , and Police-
iiuiu Quinn is entitled to much credit for his
keenness in detecting n confidence man , and
his prompt action in running him down.

A Houlllo Court.
There was u double-barrelled district court
yesterday. Judge Thornell was holding ono
court in the uo'uth court room and Judge Car
son another in the opposite room. In Judge
Thorncll's room the chief case ol interest was
one which brought Into the forum in hot con
test Fremont Benjamin nnd C. H. Converse.
The case was one Involving n small farm ,
which the owner , Wright , had deeded toCon-
vciso. It was claimed that Converse was
Wright's attorney nnd that the mortgage on
the land being about to bo foreclosed , Con-
verbo advised him to deed the land to him to
avoid the foreclosure. Converse was to pay
olt the mortgage and glvo Wright n chance to
redeem. An injunction was issued jcstruln-
Ing Converse from interfering with the land.
The case came up yesterday on a motion
to dissolve this injunction. Converse
claimed that ho had not acted us attorney for
Wright/.but that holiought the land outright ,
agreeing- clcnr off the liabilities. Wright
wanted to know if he would sell the land
back to him , nnd ho agreed to do so at any
time during the year for what money it cost
him , with 8 per cent interest. The attempt is
now being niiido to have the transfer of the
land sot aside , and In failure to secure this to
have the transaction looked upon in the light
of a mortgage , wlilch has a year to run , und
then another year for redemption. There
were several hot bouts In the presentation of
the affidavits und the arguments of the mo
tion.

Matters at Mnlvcrn.
MAI.VEUX , la. , March 20. Last Saturday
this place was visited by u United States
deputy jnurshul. The purpose c-f this oOlcial
visit uppcurs 1 the following facts ; Uuriqg
the pn t winter three citizens of this place
were Indicted by the grand Jury for keeping
and maintaining n nulsnnco nnd selling
liquors contrary to the laws of the state.
They wcro arrested nnd taken to the county
nil for safe keeping until their cases should
Do tried. During the last term of court their
caics cnmo up for hearing , but the state's
Witnesses wcro not to be found , and the de
fendants were turned loose. But their troub
les were not over. .They had neglected to
comply with the law in procuring United
States special tax stamps as retail venders of
spirituous liquors , nnd this was the reason of
the visit by the deputy marshal. As soon as
ho struck the town ho made known the purpose -
pose of his visit , nnd when ho tried to Hnd
the subjects | ho came to nrrest they wcro
gone , nnd their whereabouts have not yet
been revealed.
According to indications the present year
will bo ono of nctivlty hero nnd material ad
ditions will be mndo to the town. The
change you have mndo in getting the Hr.r.
hero on the S o'clock n. ni. train Is evidence
of commendable enterprise nnd has added
many new readers to the list of the best
dally published west of the Mississippi.
The great strika hurls us somewhat in this
Httlo city In the matter of freight nnd pas
senger trnfllc , hut wo huvo the "Wnbash"
with UB yet and wo nro not entirely shut out
from the world nt large. But wo are getting
tired of this stnto of things nnd the "Q"
ought surely to come to some kind of terms
with their men. Everyone hero is in sym
pathy with the engineers and firemen , nnd
[ relieving their cause , Just wo earnestly hope
: hcy tnny succeed. "

On motion an invitation was extended to
Mr. Heed to meet tlio board this afternoon nt
4 o'clock , relative to the Manuwa motor line.
The request that these rooms bo opened to
the use of the Pottawnttnmlo County Mining
nnd Prospecting company was granted , nnd
Thursday evening was named.
A communication from the Dcmorest
Fashion and Sowing Machine company , rela
tive to locating n factory here , was rend nnd
referred. Also one from the secretary of the
Omaha bonrd of trade states that n commit
tee has been appointed to act with the C.oun-

Who Shall Bo Chief.
The contest for the position of chief of the
flro department is growing In interest and u
great deal of work is being done "on the
quiet" as well ns openly. Petitions are being
circulated in the interest of the com
peting candidates to which the majority of
the citizens of the city have already sub
scribed their names. Theio is a strong feelIng -
Ing among the business men thut Tumplcton
should bo retained. Ho has been an able
ofllcial and not a thing is charged against
him. His care , watchfulness and sobriety
commend him. Surely the city does not
want to change for n man who has mode n.
record in the past of which even ho himself
is not ashamed. This is the public sentiment ,
and further , if it shall be determined that a
change is nt all desirable a man should bo
selected who is conversant with the depart
ment and its methods of working. There are
such men already in the service , and there
appears to bo no good reason for going out
side of the department for a chief.
It is understood that the city council is
divided upon the question , standing three for
and three against n change. It is nlso said
that at least two members are committed tea
a candidate who has been but is no moro a
fireman.
The Motor Ijlnn Moving.
Work is being pushed nt the motor line.
The crossing at the Wubush track was put
in yesterday afternoon , and the rails that
were taken up between Seventh nnd Tenth
avenues on Ninth street to allow that thor

placed. Notice has been served on flic Chicago
cage , Bnrlington' & QuJncy railroad company
to the effect that their tracks on Ninth street
will be conbcmncd for crossing on next Sat
urday. Matters have been amicably adjusted
witii the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul ,
nnd nn appeal will bo made in the case of
the Chicago , Rock Island & Pacific. The In
junction obtnincd by the Rock Island road is
still in force nnd prevents the motor line
from crossing. If it was not for obstacles
thrown out by the railroad companies , the
manager of the motor line says that the line
would bo In operation in less than u month ,
New motors of the latest style are being
built and will bo here in about three weeks.
A MyfltcrioiiB Hole.
Yesterday ono of the paving blocks between
the street car rails at the corner of Broad
way nnd Bryant street dropped out , und nn
examination revealed u hole largo enough to
swallow a horse and buggy. When the "bot
tom dropped'out" nobody knows. This spot
has caused considerable trouble , on account
of n spring near there that rendered the
building of the sewer exceedingly difficult.
The paving has caved in there several times.
leaving largo openings , but no one can tell
whcro the dirt goes to. It required , ten loads
of dirt to fill up the hole caused by yester-
duy's "sink. " The opening made by the fall
ing paving block was discovered Just In time
to prevent the passage of u street car horse.
which would probably have gone in "nil
over. "

The Sweetest Girl in School.
"She's the sweetest girl in Buhool ! "
onthusinsticnlly exclaimed ono young
miss to another , as they passed down
the street together. "Edith is &o kind ,
mid gentle , anil unselfish , every ono
likes her. And she has lovely golden
hair and pretty eyes. Isn't a pity her
complexion is so mid ; it spoils her looks.
And then faho 1ms such dreadful head
aches ! " The girls skipped along , but
it happened Edith's mother hnd heard
what they said. It sot her thinking.
What could bo done for those head
aches and the rough , muddy complex
ion , that was bueh a trial to her daugh
ter. She recalled what she hail read of
Dr. Piorce'a Golden Medical Discovery ,
and on the spur of the moment she
slipped into a drug store and bought a
biipply. Edith took it faithfully , with
the result that it cleared her disordered
blood , relieved the headaches , made her
skin soft , fair and rosy , and now she is
not only the "sweetest girl in school , "
but the mobt beautiful. .

VANDEUKIIiT'S COOK.
Tnllc of Barring Out the HIgti-Prlcril
" { astronomical Director. "
NEW YOUK , March 20. [ Special Telegram
to the Bin : . ] Joseph Dugnol , the first "gas-
tronomlcal director" ever imported from
Europe , will arrive in New York
this week , but whether ho will bo
able to land depends on the temper of the
professional cooks of America. He has been
hired by W. K. Vnndorbilt to do his cooking.
He is under contract to remain here five
years for o salary of $10,000 a year ,
and his importation to this country is in violation
lation of the federal law framed to prevent
the bringing of "contract labor" from abroad
to America. Collector Mugono said : "No
one has been to mo to object to the coming
of M. Dugnol to America. I shall do nothing
in the matter unless it is brought to mo
through i egular channels. If any one should
object to his coming I would bo required , I
suppose , to prevent his landing. "
United States District Attorney Walker
smiled when asked whether Dugnol came
under the law relating to the importation of
contract labor. "I think ho docs , " said Mr.
Walker. "It Is n clear case. If any body ob
jects ho would have to return to Franco and
the man who hired him can bo fined $1,000.
However , I do not know of any attempt to
keep Mr. Vnnderbllt's cook out of America , "
