LIXCOI.V , Fob 13. i The "vigilantes" Itovn I'aha county are on the war path , and not without reason. Tor Bcvcr.il months past there has been n band of thoroughly organised cattle thieves at work in that cnunty , nnd its one rations became so open and bold that the farmers nnd graroni wcro compelled to organl/o for Bolf-protoclion. Until last Saturday the gang successfully cvadod Identification , but sufllcicnt evidence wus ftnallv secured to warrant the arrest of C M. Clav and Horace Stewart , which was made on that day. The vigilantes also undertook to take George Babcock Into custody , but ho sought a cor ner and whipped out two "bull dogs , " and told thom to come on if the\ , wanted him. There was nothing \ iy cordial in the ir.vitn- tlon nnd it wiit , modestly declined. Thu men named , however , gave themselves up , und they me now in tno hands of n largo body of dutcrmined men , who uro bent on giving them -ip to Justice. The following telegram just received by Governor Thayer will give something of an idea of thu nituntion Al.ssuoitTii , Neb , Fob. in. Hon. John M.

Olllcers dare not act IMcasa send instructions at once , ordering them to lay down their arms mid give up the prisoners. Answer how soon jou can give us help. K. CI.M. On receipt of this telegram , the governor Immediately sent a messenger for Hepie- Bontntlvc Kurnlmm and P. A. Morris , an em- ployo of the house , to obtnln an.j lufiiiinatlon that they might bo able to give regarding the matter , Mr. Hurnluim stated that there \vns no danger , In his opinion , that any violence lence would be done the prisoners , that thc.v were evidently hold for action of thu law und to preclude the possibility of their oacu > o . UI knuw the leaders of the vigilantes , and they are law abiding nnd representative citi zens. The telegram you have ruici\cd is evidently from Mr. Clay's wife " Mf. Morris .said that the anestof Clay and Stewart was made during the lust part of last week , and that the third prisoner must mean Habcock , who dclled the committee - too when lliu llrst nt rest wus made. These men have been suspected of being crooked for a lung time , but no positive pi oof has been at hand until within the past few days. J know the lender , Mr ' 1 nylor , and I do not tieliovo that hevill permit the prisoners to bo banned. The cituens of Key a Palm county want the law to lane Us course , anil they don't intend to be fooled. Thcieis too much of n chance for them to escape with out guard , and so far as thu danger of many lives is concerned , that is all bosh , unless the friends of thu thieves should undertake to liberate them , and in that event there would bo bad work. The statements of the gentleman relieved anxiety on thu pattof the govcinor , but lie will wirathe authorities of Blown nnd ICeya I'aha counties , advising deliberate action nnd obedience to the law in every i ospoet. It is probable that he will advise the committee to deliver up the pruoncis to the ollicer-i of the law , and , if doumcd advisable , under guard of a delegation of tlio vigilantes until they are safely behind iron bars insiHici cmirr M vrrFiis. r.ouls Howard , arraigned at the last term of court for larceny us bailee , on which the Jury was dischiuged and the case dropped , \vii4imtoiitrKiltliismoriiinf ; , chaigod with horse stealing und cmber./leincnt , and thu case occupied the attention of the coil it , throughout the day.

The prisoner ad mils that ho took his employer's team of lioises und sold them , but sets up that ho wus drugged into a senseless state when ho let them go. Neylono , the prosecuting wit ness , itocs not seem inclined to accept his statement , and pushes the prosecution with Vigor. The defense relies upon the former good reputation of the prisoner , and bis con nected nnd lucid statements regarding the entire transaction. Council for tlio state commenced his argument on the case at U o'clock. Austin Hlloy , a farmer residing near town , asked Judge Field for an Injunction to le- straiu StonbendoriT & Nester from collecting a judgment against Leagior it Daily and Kiloy in the county court for $ J5 , The judge took the matter under advisement.

Poor old St. Valentine' ' He is almost to tally neglected in Omaha this year. A visit to the news depots reveals the fact that the proprietors have been exceedingly cmtlous In their purchases of the tinseled , spangloil and mnrvclously constructed frivolities , which n few years ago were wont to appear In the shop windows weeks before thu llth ol February , liven thu hluhlv colored mon- stroeltics seem , to a great extent , to have had their day , and fewer than ever before uro displayed in the windows. The postofllce people will no doubt have a haul ilav of it , but most of the delivery will bo to the country and the outhlns ? districts of the city. Ht Valentine , It is to bo feared , Is no longer fashionable. Thut he is not so badly neglected in some other pottions of the country Is evident from Hit ; iinupie and beautiful designs nut on the market b\ some of tne publishers. I'rangnnd others have surmised themselves - solves , and Instead of the usual elaborate con structions of paper , luce , and fi Ills , the news- dealeis are oircring exquisite c mis , paintings on Ivory , silk , sutiti , and the like , which will go on their intrinsic artistic merit , und aside from the Inlliioiice of the almost forgotten bt Valentino traditions nnd legends. That tlio hideous two-for-n-ponny night mares are losing their popularity will cause no regret , since it is to the rule of these the gooa old saint owes his partial loss of public favor.

A icptesLMitative of the company arrived yes terday morning and was present at the board , but there was no quorum , only the mayor and Dr. Ralph being present , and Lee , lioyd and Koavy absent. Dr. Martin , of Milwaukee , was in the city some days ago and informed City 1'hyslci in lialph that bo had justcomo fiom HulTnlo , where the Merz system is in operation , and ho is of the un- qunlllied opinion that it is a grand thing. Dr. KalDh said toTiir.

The only thing that added spice to the meeting of the board of county commission ers yesterday afternoon , was tlio discussion of the report of the committee on llnnnco uiKii the matter of awarding the contract for doing- the county printing for the ensuing year. year.When When the ioil w.is failed nil members of the board were present. The report ubovo referred to was the first nutter taken U'ldor consideration. 1 he report roconiinemleil that inasmuch ns the iiuestlon of circulation had not buon in cluded In the lutvcrllsemcnt for bids that all bids so far rcflvod should Do rojcutcil and thut they bj roadvcrtlscd for with the addi tional provision that the bills should bo nc- comp.inlcd liv a sworn sUtoiiient of tlio uir- culution of each publication. This brought \V. H. Viuiglieti , manager of the Inter State Democrat , to his feet with a icqiKMt to address the board , which was granted.

He said that ho could not lion- estlv stand before the board nml assort that the bid of tlio World was the lowest.

All the lircuKition the Woild claims Is something over T.OOi ) copies " 1 s.iy , " he ex claimed , with a whack upon a convenient table , by wav of emphasis , "that wo will mull to the tax pnjois of this count } 10,00(1 ( copies of the Da.uocrut every time a line of county printing is contained in it and fimiish a -,0,000 bond to do si Is this chaff ; is it buncombe I am miking' Do jou ropieaent yoursalvcs jouiselvos or the tapapers' Atoiou nuiinir in behalf of certain newspaper paperor in behalf of tno tax psyerv" The chairman tibkcd Udward Itosowatcr , of Tun UK : : , if lie had anything to say upon the subject before the question of the adop tion of the repent was put. "Hut very lit tle , " sam Mr. Uoscwater. "It seems to me , Mr. chairman , that the commissioners can do but one of two things.

" interrupted Mr. Hitchcock , "th.it the Woild has BWOIU to a circulation it does not possess ! " "I mean to say that many of the copies in cluded in such a statement are thrown about the streets. But that is immaterial. It wo allow you the circulation you claim how many of these arc distributed in Douglas county I You have live or six hundred ex changes , h.iven't you !

" continued Mr. Hosowator , "as far as Tun I3vis-ixo : Uii : is concerned it Is cir culated almostentfreiy in Douulas county.

The question of the adoption of the com- nilttes report , was then put and carried by a unanimous vote. Commissioner Turner IntroJuced a resolu tion providing for bid * to be accompanied by a sworn statement of circulation , This furnished material for tin hour's dis cussion of the matter by Messrs. Vuuglmn and Hitchcock in which thcio wcie weio no now fuels brought forth. Mr Hitchcock con tinued to insist that the contract bo awarded the World. Every time ho did so Mr. Vaughan would reiterate his proposition to print H,0H ) ( ) copies and furnish a $ .

Commissioner O'Koofo said that If this wcro done thai all the other morning papers would have to bo excluded from corn- potion also. Commissioner Turner wanted to know when the Republican was published. The information was given him by Reporter Ciossy , of that paper , thut It made Its ap pearance in the morning. The matter was finally dropped. The resolution passed after being amended that the circulation of the papers should betaken taken into consideration as well as the bids , Messrs.

The old English custom was to send poeti cal missives , generally of an anonymous character. The verses being accompanied by presents of jewelry or other articles calculated to provo acceptable to the fair recipients , rings and precious stones wcro greatly in favor. Sometimes the rings worn made so that on tlio touching of a spring the setting would 11 y back and reveal the name of the sender , engraved in the recess thus exposed to view. The largo size of thu rings worn in tlioso days n fiord oil facilities for in genious devices of this doscruition.

Out1'grandmothers and gtandfathors wore a little moro practical in tliou1 > iow3. They used to send to their in amoratas "love-ties , " "neck-bows , " earrings - rings , sinolling-bottlc.s , futib and othoi similar articles. However , what the modern \alentine has gained in tableful appearance , it has lost in poetical feeling.Vitli our grandfathers a valentine was worthless unless it continued a few lines of verso written by the sender. They nuvor ( Iron mud of valentines so delicately fashioned that the morosl touch would destroy their beauty and could not bo taken out of their cases without injury. They wore contiMit with thick , gilt-edged letter paper , or- intMitcd with n gilt oupid. The.\ wore in almobt all respects the handiwork of the bciiiler * . who thuh acquired a wide Hold for the display of their various idiosyncrasies. Could borne of the e old valentines be collected the would form a curious nnd interesting volume. A batch of valonlinos ranging from thi ? years 1711 to ITHj , recently found its way into the bin of a London wnste- paper dealer , who at llrst thought of olloring his pri/.e to the authorities of the British museum , but faubseiuuutly decided upon not incurring Uio risk of a refusal. Some of these valentines contained quotations from ChristoptM1 Marlowe , and other favorite authors , but the most of them were original com position written in the alK-ctcd style then proMilont.

I bog leave to object most strenuously against this violation of an author's rights in his tfwn work. ' 'Robert Klsmoro" was never written with any view to the btagc. It is en tirely unsuited to theatrical presenta tion , nnd 1 have refused steadily to al low it to bo dramatised in this conn try. It can be adapted to the stage by de stroying tlio proportions of the story , by emphasi/.ing what is subordinate and leaving out what is essential , for 1 can not believe that the American or any other public would bear to hoar the most intimate and sncrcd speculative problems discussed behind the foot lights.
