LINCOLN , Juno HO , 1SSS. The board of live
Block agents for the state of Nebraska have
nddrcsscd to mo the following communica
tions :
"Dear Sir : Inasmuch as no ease of con
tagious plcuro-pncumonia has been found in
onypartof Cook county , Illinois , since DeCember -
Comber 'J , lbb , wo respectfully recommend
the removal of all quarantine restrictions

fect from and after Juno 15 , 1SSS. In making
this recommendation wo have the concur
rence of the bureau of animal industry of
the United States , which has raised all quar-
butlno restrictions against Cook county. "
"Dear Sir : The quarantine regulations
now in force in this state prohibit the impor
tation of all cattle from the stuto of Tux us

Bamo advantages that St. Louis , Chicago nnd

tlon of such cattle , destined for immediate
Slaughter , can bo permitted under proper

A XnnLIiCTR ! ) CONTUACT.
Over ninety days ago the board of public
works entered into u contract with certain
parties here providing that a Htated amount
of brick paving should bo done nnd
ready for the public use on or before the 15th
day of July , IbSO. The proposed work is
somewhat extensive , but no apparent move ,
aside from the neglected contract , indicates
that there is anything doing towards Its com
pletion. It is time to use the prod or ctt.zens
will have just rorson to complain of more
neglect of public duty. This contract ought ,
to be pushed or it can not bo completed at the
time agreed upon , to the disparagement , at
least , of the capital eity , now making well
dctlncd pretensions.

I once lost n good place through the
trlukinuss of n fomnlo spotter , and I'vo
been kicking myself for my stupidity
over fiineo , said a railroad conductor to
u. reporter of a St. Louis paper some
time ngo. I had n regular run on the
Fort Scott and Gulf road from Kansas
City to Momphis. A comely appearing
young lady of about twenty-five yours
hud been taking trips on my train fro
qucutly , going the whole length of my
run , nnd , ns my curiosity wns nrouscd , I
determined to lind out something about
her. I sat down beside her nnd began
n very interesting conversation , the-
main topic being her husband , who she
claimed was a railroad conductor. She
had previously pnid mo the fnro
to Memphis with n bran new $
note. Upon learning thnt she was the
wife of n conductor , I determined to give
her free transportation , and handed her
back the note , Shu asked mo to call
upon her nt her home in Memphis , nnd
1 promised to do so the next day. When
I called nt the amlrosss she had given
mo no one know her there. I thought
I had been duped by a elovor udvon-
tusess , but three days later , when I received
coivod a letter from the company stat
ing thnt my services were no longer
required , I know I was the victim of u
female spotter.

Justice With Her Tongue.
There was a furious ringing of Tins Hun's
telephone , the other night , and tlio good-
looking young lady who presides over the
exchange said she thought the disturbance
was occasioned by atmospheric iullucnc.es.
A severe storm prevailed ut the time , and
the explanation was considered reasonable.
The ringing , however , was repeated , and
this time tlio young lady said it was caused
by some person to her unknown. She could
trace the line to no particular telephone , yet
somebody had said over it that ho or she
wanted to talk with Tin : HUB.
"Let her go , " was the answer from the
ofllce. Immediately there struck the writer's
ear a voice which was neither masculine nor
feminine , but contained a mixture of each
which made it very agreeable.
"I'm the statue of Justice on the court
house dome , and I'm as wet as a drowned
rat. The wind is blowing a galo. I can
hardly keep my skirts about mo , and what is
more , I can hardly keep my feet. If I should
lose them what nn Inquest Coroner Drexel
would hold over my shattered remains on
the front steps on Farmim street ! It's all
good enough to say that Justice Is dispensed
in this building , but why don't thov give mo
a little of it. I'm broiled by the sun in sum

fro/en. My nose has been so blistered by
the sun that it looks like Itip Van Winkle's
and my left auricle went off on n lark a year
ago with a bolt of lightning and has never re
turned. "
"How about your eyes ? "
"Of course you know everything about the
baudago around all Justices' eyes. Well ,
that wasn't necessary , because when they
put mo up hero , Charley Rasters und his
horrid mun daubed my eyes with yellow
sugar colored paint , and destroyed my sight
forever ; und , as if that wasn't enough , they
ttrew about u dozen pounds of light dust
into my mouth , face and eyes. "
"Why don't you como down ) "
"I cant , you know. The old county com
missioners who put me up here , did so for
keeps. To got down , without their consent ,
would mean suicide , licsidos , what good
would It do I I couldn't get anybody to marry

attention of every young lawyer who enters

"flow do you enjoy yourself ; "
' I have no enjoyment , I'm a disappointed
maiden. Some time ago I remonstrated with
the commissioners on this score , ami each of
them said lie would give me a vacation.
Commissioner Corrigan said he w.is going
to get married and would let mo attend the
wedding. Anderson said ho had a new baby
at his house , and Anderson , you know , is
only fifty years of nge , nnd oufht to be trust
worthy. lie said 1 could go to the christen
ing. Dick O'ICeefo said be was going to Hot
Springs before ho ran for re-election next
lull , and if I behaved myself I could go
along to visit the court house down tliero.
Mr. Mount said ho was going out fishing with
Turner at nikhorn , with several lady friends
and that I could go along with them. Hut
no ! one of the.se men kept their word. I
don't sj oak to them any more , and J really
felt so disappointed that if I could have
done it , I would have Jumped
from this perch and committed suicide. Hut
they wouldn't givj mo decent burial. They'd
look upon mo as a county subject , throw mo
into a two-dollar box , and then John Ma-
honey's team 6f a big mule and little mule ,
and an old rotten wagon , would drag mo to the
potter's Held. I won't trust those commission
ers any more. I said I had no enjoyment ,
but that Isn't strictly trno. I have got into
very good terms with the birds and pigeons
and crows , which coino UIH way. I have
learned their languages ; and the love tales ,
episodes and mishaps , which engross their
attention , always interest mo , especially in
the evening. Then the noise of the dav has
ceased. Lovers throng the grounds and steps
of the court house , and up hero feathered
lovers are meeting and cooing with the snmo
purpose. They make tills tl.eirtrystlng place ,
and tell mo ail their little tales of love and
woe. Sometimes 1 advise them to elope ,
sometimes to bo true to an old lover nnd , at
others , to abandon ono who is not as true ,
and morn jealous than he ought to bo. Some
times 1 pronounce them hunhand and wife
and they tire always cortHin to return and
show m their little younglings as soon as
they are decently Hedged. This is a pleasure

The voice had ceased. Tin : UKI : otlio ) rang

Solely by Slant ; .
Almost everybody uses slang. Statesmen ,
lawyers , doctors and oven preachers use it in
spile of themselves. Hut the lower the call
ing the more it abounds. This is fully ex-
emplilied in the case of those who live by
their wits for thieves have a vocabulary of
their own almost as prolific as Webster's
dictionary. They "patter Hash" talk
slang on every and all occasions. This is
done for'two reasons. First , their desire to
keep as secret as possible even their orilinar.s
thoughts ; and second , their love of being
thought "tly people. " To thieves an honest
is "wmaro bloke " and those
man a , who ito
not come under that category are "crooks"
or "on the cross. " Pickpockets nro "fly
fakirs , " burglars , "cracksmen , " safe-blow
ers , "gophers , " ' while the commoner thieves
'
"sneaksknucks ' " " "
are , , "guns" and
"goniffs. " A thief's wife or female
coiiip.ui ion is a "moll , " a saloon is a "hoo/o" !
or "lushing ken , " the places where ho dis
poses of his plunder "a fence , " and the
itself " . " His
properly "swag. companions
are the "mob , " or the "gang , " and his com
mon enemy , tlio pollco , "coppers. " Ho is
arrested but " ' ' "collared "
never , "pinched' or ,
and when the proof is convincing against
him , ho is "eoppod dead to rights. "
NVIiun ho drinks hoiiiatr.s. . ' When sent
to prison ho goes "over the road , " is "in
ipiod , " "in stur. " or "busy. " Serving out a
term is "doing time , " and its length is In
dicated by "moons" for months ,
and "stretches" for years. A tliiof
has innumerable terms for money ,
but dollar is invariably " " mid
a a case , a
hundred of them constitute a " century. "
A silver watch is "a ticker " and a gold one
" n super. " " Twisting a super " means
wringing a gold watch off its chain. To lie
to a man is to " give him a stiff , " while to
Hatter him is to " give him taffy. " A tliiof
never betrays nnotnor ; ho " peacnes " on or
" gives him away. " IIis name is his " mon-
nker , " and ho never dies , but "croaks. "
Following close upon the heels of the thief
in slung comes the pri/u-llghtor. His head is
his "nut" or "knowledge box ; " his eyes
are bis " ogles , " or his " glims , " or his
" lamps ; " his nose Ids " horn , " his "conk , "
" cut-water , " "smeller , " " proboscis ; " his
month his " kisser " and his cars his "lugs , "
Ins lists are his "fins , " his "dukes , " Ins
"mauleys , " or "bunch of lives ; " his stomach
his "bread-basket" ' '
- or 'victualing depart
ment , " and his legs are his "pins. " When
ho endures n good deal of "thumping" ho is
"game , " or "takes to his gruel kindly. " The
beating ho gives or lecelvus is "punishment , "
and when he is so weak ho can hardly stand
lie is said to bo ' 'groggy , " and then it is his
opponent is advised to go in and finish him
by "putting on the kibush. "
The turf , too , is rich in slang us might" bo
expected , and its patrons are divided into
" " and "fiats" the " "
"sharps" "sharps" predom
inating , liut each year "produces" anew
" " of "Hats " the " "
"crop"
now , or "sharps"
could not oxlst. The "knowing ones" are
frequently tulkod of , but when their ' -tijis"
or "pointers" prove to bo false , they como to
'gnuf" nnd "dump" their "stuff" just bko
common "suckers. " A horse taken through
the country and trotted under u false name
is a "ringer , " and alackaday , the number of
these Is legion. A ' "stayer" is a horse with
great powers of endurance , the opposita a
ijiutter. " A uiau who sneaks out of his
"mouth bets" is a "wclchor. "
The circus is another copious source of
distorted Knglish , und circus men always
use slang. Heing nomadio in their

very aut'iont , and derived from the

out to Bells' circus Tuesday with a follow
scribe , who was anxious to get "onto" the
"vernacular" of the canvasmcn , and halting
near a group I undertook to explain ther con
versation. Ono of the showmen noticing
tins , remarked to his companion : "Nixoy

words , "don't talk so plain , that man under
stands you. " The countryman , who fell in
with a couple of eonvasmen , who were
"bad , " hud an experience that was far from
pleasant. In describing it to Judge Herka
yesterday morning , lie said , "all three off us
were walkin" together 'longSaumlers street ,

the t'other ono says , "swipes , cull , " and then
uoth of them hit mo toonct. " 13oys when
serving their apprenticeship in n circus are
clemming , " and when through they uro
"rounded. " "Hey , Uulio ! " Is tlio rallying
cry of every circus in the world and if you
once hear it sounded , why get out of the way
that's all.
Minstrel and variety performances nro an
other class proficient in slang , and they are
responsible for about all that is used on the
streets. There are no actors among them ;
they are all "artists. " A poor "artist" is
"snide " " " "tart. " " " "
, "rot-
, "very piano , "diz/y , -
ton" or "N. J. " Had song-and dance men are
"hams , " and a largo number of the females
of the variety stage are " .sorio-rhroiiios.1
Among tlio "legitimate , " on the regular
"boards , " slang is also copiously used. "To
fake through a part" is to play it without
proper study , while to "wing it" is to commit
the lines to memory wliiio standing at the

A DUAL LIFE.
Strange Story ol'a 3IurIirer't > IChCapo
From -Mm ! ! < : < : .
A dual lifo. Tills strnngo story coinos
from LnwTonoovillo , says the Atlanta
( Ga. ) Constitution. A few days ago a
Georgian died in Hot Springs , Ark ,
died and was burled there. Ho had
been for some years a trusted and hon
ored cili/on of that pluuo. Ho had mar
ried there , had become rich , holding
various ponitions of honor and trustand
enjoyed the conlldonco and Oatcum ofnll
thai knew him. Yet that man wns liv
ing in the shadow of a crime was an
outlaw from the stuto of his birth. It
was Charles Clinton Ambroao. The
mention of his iiiuno will recall to tlio
older citi/.onti of Georgia , and ospoolally
of Gwiiinett county , the purtieuuu-a of a
boiibUtionul tragedy.
It was in the winter of ' 0-05 $ that Hill
Orr , a prosperous farmoar near Law-
roiicovlllo , wns shot and killed by
Clinrlcs Ambro.- . Both stood high in
the community , nnd the killing aroused
a strong fooling. The cause of the kill
ing was understood to bo insult offered
by Orr to Ambrose's sister , and this , of
course , tended to counterbalance the
fact that the shooting was in cold blood.
Orr hud boon shot down in the streets
in broad daylight. The weapon was a
gun heavily loaded with buckshot ,
found subsequently just whore it had
been lircd , and loaning against a troo.
Ambrose , then a young man of eighteen
or twenty , .immediately lied the.s

The story goes that the young man
wont immediately after the shooting tea
a friend nnd hurriedly explained to
him what ho had dono.
"J need money , " ho said , "and I hnvo
not time to go homo after it. Will you
lot mo have money now nnd risk the
chances' ; " '
A miniito later the young man , al
ready mounted on a Moot horse , was
handed a cloth bag containing $1,000 in ,
gold. With n last backward glance )
towards the old homestead , the young
man dashed off , nnd from that day to
this ho nuvor saw Lawroncovillo again.
At least so everybody thought. A ro-
wnrd was olTorred by the governor and
this supplemented by rewards from
other sources. Search was made fnr
and near , but no trace wns over found.
The story of the shooting became a war
time tradition , and descended 113 such
to n now generation.
Kjghtoon or twenty months after the
killing the father of the boy loft for
Louisville , Ky. , carry ing his wife with
him , on n business trip.
Six months Inter another trip was
made , and four months later another.
Upon these visits the father and mother
saw their son. And jtho son returned
the the visit : ) . At Last the story goes
that ho has made frequent visits to his
old home , visits of which none but hia
immediate family were awaro.
Hut the visits have ended. A few
days ago , Charles Clinton , u wealthy
nnd { highly respected citi/on of Hot
Springs , breathed his last. lie died
surrounded by n loving family. This
wns Charles Clinton Ambrose ,
The Arkansas side of the story Is
brlolly told. A young man of excellent
address , young and energetic , came to
Hot Springs nt the clo.so of the war.
Ho developed Into a highly succcsful
citizen , acquired property and after a
useful lifo died nt the ngo of forty-two ,
leaving to his wife nnd children u snug
