They CuBbcd Worthless CIicoIch
Yesterday brought several ohuncks ot
costly experience to a number of the leading
business men of the Uluffs , and It Is hoped
tbat they will profit by it , Inasmuch as they
failed to protlt by tlio oxporlonco of others ,
It Is a fact to bo regretted but nevertheless
utruoono , that the business circles of this
city baye proseatod a most inviting and
profllablo Hold for some time past for the op
erations of the smooth conftdoncn man anil
swindler , Huilness men who bojo success
fully battled for years against the strongest
opposition and competition , and have distin
guished tbeuuolveu by careful buying and
shrewd soiling have been numbered among
the victims , and when the magnetic book of
the avaricious Usher wus hauled m with
mauy ot their good , hard dollars attached ,
tboy have taken their medicine bravely
They Uvo resolved to stcor clear ot the
swindlers bait in the future and will un
doubtedly do so , but tbo suprlslngpart of the
whole matter is that their fellow business
men laugh quietly In their alcoves al the
victims uud then getcaugbt themselves
lis Is hardly u week since nluo firms wore
taken in to tbo extent of nearly 1100 by u
smoothly worked advertising scheme , and a
flashily painted card in ono ot the lending
hotels is yet a silent witness to the success
thntntlcndod tlio olTorts of the con man
The latest dodge , and one that did not fall
to Catch Its full quota of victims , was worked
in this city Friday evening , but it was during
banking hours yesterday that It llrst be
came apparent thnt all was not as it should
bo The man who did the work Is U. C. Vnn
Nlco , an omployoof Max Moycr U Urothor
of Omaha
As nearly as can bo ascertained the nforft-
sold young mnn hut been setting the pace
very fast for some llttlo tlmo and the
gambling houses of the twin cities have
found In htm n frequent ns well as a profita
ble visitor Ho has plavcd heavily and lost
nnd the necessity to ralso money to supply
tbo drain is what has caused many to mourn
Friday evening Vnn Nlco entered the largo
establishment of the Mueller music
company , on South Main street ,
nnd wanted to see Mr Mueller
Hint gentleman was absent , but his son was
there , nnd the stranger Introduced himself
ns C. U. Vnn Nlco , renrosonting Max Meyer
& Uro , arfd said ho was doing business for
the Ilrm on this side of the river Ho was
short of money nnd wanted a chcci ; cashed ,
ns It was nftnr banking hours The tnonoy
was not to bo secuicd , nnd the young man
accompanied the gentleman of mammoth
assurance across the street to the store ot
John llono & Co where ho vouched for the
stranger , who secured $15 on a check on the
First National bank of Omnhn
Vnn Ntco then visited the store of Cole &
Cole nml told the satnd story Ho nppllod to
Mr Hugh Cole to cash a check for ? I0. Mr
Cole demurred , but the stranger remarked ,
Why , ynu know mo You bought n diamond
mend stud of mo about a year ngo " Mr
Cole did rocognlzo the stranger as n. clerk
with whom bo hnd dealt at Mat Meyer's ,
and he accordingly cashed the check
As stated nbovo , the truth was not dis
covered until the checks were presented
yesterday The Omaha bank cat.io very
near paying one of them , but It was dis
co voied that whllo Vnn Nlco bad formerly
had money thcro on doposlt , ho had drawn It
nil , and there was nothing to bis credit It
is stated that Van Nlco has worked several
parties In Omaha , who are loft
in the lurch for vnrious sums
Ono of Max Moyer'a men was iu the city
yesterday looking up the matter , nnd an
Omaha ofllccras also heio on the lookout
for Vnn Nice It will probably uo difficult
to nscertaln Just how many in this city hnvo
been victimized , as none of these who hnvo
not vet presented their worthless checks
will prcsont thorn and admit , that they vcero
bitten Somu or those whoso checks have
gene In denv.baving had any connection with
the case , Mr Ueno Is not a loser , as ho held
Mr Mlllor for the 815 advanced , and that
gentleman paid It yesterday
Van Nlco was not arrested yesterday , but
It is stated that ho ivlll bo prosecuted on
several counts It Is understood that , Van
Nlco his held a responsible position in the
Moycr establishment , und was ono of the
most trusted employes Gambling is suid to

greater part of them lira equity cases , among
thorn being ton.applications for temporary

In its cotmnorcial deciulotico nobody

Kvon local prlilo is compelled to yield
before the crushing truth , says u Snn
Fr.mcisco correspondent of the Now
York IIoimIiI What is going to bo the
ftilui'o of Sun I'Vuncisco is ti problem
that few eii'ro to dlcuss lest furihor un
welcome intelligence ) bo the outcome ,
Ono discoui'iiging fuaturo is that 80
much of the brain and wealth of Cali
fornia the sons of pioneers who once
mmlo the state famous uro soeUlng
homes and opportunities elsewhere
There is nothing to tempt the rich
young nion of this decade to business
outcrpribo of iiuy kind Most of those
who have Inherited the wealth of their
fathers are either idle dawdlers or
wasteful spendthrifts Some are inch
ing in either mental or physical canae-
ity to porpottialo the usefulness"or fame
of their sires Scores of young men
who have inherited the wealth of bo
nanza dnya have loft tlio state for other
Welds some for Kuropc , others for Now
York all with intent never to return
to the lund in which their lathers toiled
for their wealth and their children's in-
dopindonco In this way millions hnvo
been carried away from California ,
which in jus 'tico should have remained
here to assist iu the state ' s dovolo ) > inon + ,
and prosoorlty
The young men who remain are not
all of boiielit to the community With
the single exception of the Crocker
family , tlio younger members , of which
are now in possession of their fathers
iinmonso fortune , there is scarcely a
millionaire ' s son who ha3 shown any
business ability , public enterprise ! of
any other tendency than the sollish en
joyment of suddenly acquired riches
There arc a tinmen moro of those young
Cra'si In San Francisco , and the city
would ho better oil if there were none
An explanation might be mndo iu the
cases of Colonel Morvyn Donahue , who ,
us the heir of his father , l'etor Dona
hue , came into a piece of railway property
orty worth several millions The
colonel has shown some sagacity in get
ting the property in such shape that it
is available for sale to some eastern
company who may want terminal facili
ties ni Snn Francisco , but further than
that his genius has uot wandered The
colonel , like many ot the other young
millionaires , wants to sell out and take
up his abode in New York , where in
deed ho now spends most of- his time
By-reason of their vast railway and
real estate interests the Crocker boysi
• are probably anchored to the coast ,
, Thoy-aro worth from $7,0(10,000 ( to $10-
000,000 each , and It may in truth bo said
they are pretty good boys Fred
Crocker , the eldest , has succeeded his
father as vice president of the vast
Southern Pacific system , and will ulti
mately ho nt the head of that great cor
poration Ho is an active man of busi
ness , and is shrewd and careful He Is
a worthy successor of the man whoso
oijorgy did so much to build that great
transcontinental railroad The second
brother , William II , Is a banker and is
the society man of the family " It was
feared at ono time that Will , as ho Is
invariably called , was going to develop
into a cigarette llcnd and a dude , but
ho rose above it and is now tlio head of
one of the best banks in the city and
manager of the millions of real estate
loft by ins father George , tlio youngest
son , who in his youth was wilder than a
partridge , lias taken his millions and
gone into the cattle business in Nevada
und Utah Ho Is a kind ol rough diamond
mend , young George Is , and ho is not ant
to polish up much in his now surround
ings , but he has money enough to see
htm through In any enterprise The
three Crocker boys have boon happily
free from bcandnls their names have
never boon associated with any but reputable -
putablo women , which is so unusual In
California that it is worthy of remark
Rich young men here care llttlo for the
proprieties in their relations with the
other sox They seem as a rule to have
no rcspoctor mothers and sisters Tlioy
will sot up a siren in a gilded cage right
in the shadow of the paroutal root , and
think they nro doing somothlng manly
nnd creditable
Young flood is the most conspicuous
offender in this respect His conduct
both during nnd after the life of his
father ostracized him socially , IIo Is
oven bald to have married the Inmate
of his dove eot , and that San Francisco ,
tolerant as it is in many things , will
never forgive The result Is thatlJim-
nile Flood , as ho is cnllcd , is never in
vited nnywhoro Ho belongs to no
clubs and his sooloty is-pulitoly avoided
by the post pcoplo of both sexes Yet
ho is worth live millions or moro nnd is
president of the big Nevada bunk and
owner of two of the finest palncos in
America Rut his tastes and Instincts
nro low and when on ono of his toarlng
sprees tnoro nro no depths to which the
young man will not descend , Jlmtnlo
does not enjoy the the full confidence of
the buslnobs community , so If ho were
disposed to go into morcanlilo or ether
business enterprises ho would not find
much encourngomont from othorcapi
talists
Of all the California millionaires the
most unfortunate with his sons Is ox-
Sonntor Fair Ho ha3 two James G. ,
Jr , and Charios The elder is well
known from the Atlantio to the Pacific
for his sprees nnd scrapes Charley is
following In the same path nnd both nro
incorrigible The senator is bitterly
disappointed in the development of his
holrs , but ho does not got tbo sympathy
that ono might expect The breaking
up of the family by that very foolish dl-
vorco is in the main the cnuso of the
boys worthlessness ' . They have had no
training and have simply grown up
wild with the usual result If the future
turo of San Francisco depended upon
the wealth and enterprise of such oltl-
zons as the Fair boys promlso to muko
hors would bo a wrry fate

A FEMALE MOONSMINER
Siul Story or Woe nml SuRVsrhig Tolil

A female moonshinor Is confined In
Fultoli county jail
She Is a fndod-looklng'Ionian , nearly
fifty yours of ago , deep hluo eyes and a
mass of dark hair parted in now-fnsh-
lonod style about her wrinkled forehead ,
Shobonrstho traces of suffering on her
fnco , and it is easy to see at a glance
that her 's has boon , no common enroer ,
says the Atlanta Constitution
Her name is Mrs Vlctorino Hender
son In a lonely log cabin among the
hills of Haborshnm , seven miles nbovo
the picturesque llttlo town of Toccoa-
dwelt this widow with her two chlldron
Tlio oldest is a daughter , suffering
with the worst stages of cancer , and the
mother was her only nur o.
On Inst Friday she was arrested by
Deputy Mnrshnl Tom Osborne , nnd
brought to Atlnntn Her story Is a piti
ful ono ns she tolls It
Pour years ago her husband , Jnspor
Hundoi'son , got into trouble with her
brother , Bob Morris , and the latter shot
him to death in Morris own yard IIo
was arrested and locked up In Haber
sham county jail , from which ho es
caped , but in the attempt was shot
through both legs nnd died from his
wounds Mrs Uondorson was ar
rested for complicity in the killing
'
ing , and although s 'ho protested her
innocence , she was put on trial for her
lifo , and Judge Kstes of Gainesville de
fended her The case lingered along
until it enmo to trial , nnd she was
cleared of the charge , but loft with a
burden of poverty and debt upon her
weakly shoulders , with her two father
less children to lake care of , nnd the In
valid one to hurso
She had no moans of support , except
the little patch on the mountain sldo ,
no way to pay the fco of her lawyer and
benefactor
Rut with a woman fidelity she be
gan to cast about for some way of rais
ing tlio money
Finally bho hit upon the plan of mak
ing liquor Stored away in a corner
was nu old-time brandy still that had
been in disuse ever since It had been n
crlmo for people to distill their own
and their neighbors products of field
nnd orchard The widow had boon in
itiated into the mystorics of distilling
long neo , ere all those bonutlcs came
upon her Her cabin was closely built ,
and inside its walls she hoped that she
might bo able to elude the vigllnnco of
of the revenue men The old brandy
still was put up and the poor widow
wont to work
"I had just made the sweet mnsh , "
said she , and had started on the second
end run when I wus arrested In a few
days 1 should have been able to raise
money to pay my lawyers fee had they
not found mo out "
How were you detected ? "
Mr Osborne baid that the case was
rcportod to him , but I still believe that
ho found It out himself I want to plead
guilty My child needs mo at homo ,
and I want to go and toll the judge just
what I did and why I did it Do you
know when I can son hi in ? "
Not until sitter the holidays "
Well , I am ready at any moment ,
and anxious to plend guilty I have
seen so much trouble that I am used to
it "
Several moonshiners In jail know
Mrs HondorbOn nnd are acquainted
with all the fa' 'ts in her sad career ,
which sounds moro like a romance
than a real occurence

tails were an insult and cocktails an
unheard-of luxury Everything was
taken straight and a good deal which
was not straight was talcon for granted
The Pioneer club devised u sot of
rules nnd had some framed Among
these was ono requesting that gentlemen -
mon suould take their trousers out of
their boots before going on the floor '
Spitting was also forbidden " But

A' WHALES MOUTH
l''lsh Story of this Kxporionce or a
Modern Jonah
J. W. Kloslor , Into commanders
clerk , United States navy , now a resi
dent of Honcsdnlo , Pa , told the follow
ing story to a Philadelphia Press reporter -
porter of a very remarkable exporlonco
of nn American sailor with a whale
Ho says : George Leonard , an acting
master in tlio United States navy dur
ing the civil war , and stationed on
board the gnnboat Kutahdln , West
Gulf blockading squadron In 180.1 , told
n story of heroism , and exhibited marks
on his body that corroborated his words
The year 1850 found Leonard ns ono of
the crew on the ship Entorprlso , u ,
whaler in the north Puclllu
Ono day ho was stationed in the how
of a whaleboat a long distance from the
ship , with a bravo crew who had sighted
a whale and made for the monster with
nil possible dispatch When within
proper dlstnnco Leonard throw his har
peen , striking the fish hard and deep
In some manner the line as it was
running out caught the body of ono of
the mou In such a way ns to throw him
overboard The man suddenly sank ,
whereupon Leonard transferred his
line to a boatmato and sprang into the
ocean in aid of the drowning sailor
The whnlo , now maddened by hjs fast
flowing blood , mndo a rush for the boat
Roraarkablo and horrible to relate ,
Leonard's friend had managed to regain
th boat , whllo he himself was caught
by the whale between his jaws , his po
sition bolng inside the monsters mouth ,
with nothing protruding but ono of his
arms In this maimer the man was In
reality within the jaws ot death Itself
Tbo whale instantly plunged down into
the deep and , in the words of Leonard
himself , "tbo fish seemed to bo going
down , down Into oterntty itself "
The imprisoned man , uftbr all this ,
hnd not lost his presence of mind , no
mustered his entlro bodily strength
nnd ho was a jioworful man actually
bracing hlmsolt.tn such a position as to
compoi.tho fish to spread his jaws At
the snmo lime , with bin nrm that was
free , ho grabbed the sheath knife out
of Its socket , cutting right and loft No
sooner was there n sufficient opening
made than Leonard forced IiIb body
outside lTp to the surface ho swam ,
when , st ran go to say , ho found himself
within nn arms ' lonpth of his boat Ho
was saved The murks ot the wholes
violence nml the dents of its tooth were
very plainly visible on Leonard's nrms ,
and ho was * always pointed out by his
brother naval olllcors ns the second

WORMS THAT EAT STEEL
Nothing ii o Will Hntlsfr tlio Crav
ings of Their Appetites
For the past two years the Gorman
: litis been making inquiries
11 to the life , history und ravages of ono
of the most remarkable worms known to
exist , says the St Louis Republic This
wonderful creature , wlio30 gluttonous
appetite Is only batlsllcd nftor n food on
common steel , was first brought into
gcnoral nntlco by nn nrtielo In the Cologne -
ogno Gazette In Juno , 18S7.
For some time preceding the publica
tion of the account mentioned the great
est consternation oxlstcd among tlio en
gineers employed on the railway at
Hageii by accidents , which always oc
curred at the snmo place , proving that
soma terrible defect must exist cither
In the material or the construction of
the rails
The government became interested
and sent a commission to tho-spot for
the purpose of maintaining n constant
watoli at the spot where the accidents
0110 of thorn attended with loss of life
hnd occurred It was not , however ,
until after six months had elapsed that
the surface or the rails appeared to bo
corroded , ns If by acid , to the extent of
over 100 yards
The rail was taken up and broken ,
whereupon it was found to bo literally
honeycombed by a thin , thrcad-llko
gray worm The worm is said to bo
three centimeters in lougth und about
the bigness of a common knitting
needle .It is of a light-gray color , and
on the head It carries two little sacs or
glands llllcd with n most powerful cor-
roslvo secretion , which is ejected every
ten minutes when the llttlo demon la
lying undisturbed This liquid when
squirted upon iron renders that motnl
soft and spongy , and of the color of rust ,
when it is easily and greedily devoured
by the llttlo insect ij''Tlioro is no ex
aggeration , " says the ollicial report ,
"Iu the ussortlon that this crcaturo is
one of the most voracious , for it has de
voured thirty-six kilogrammes of rails
in a fortnight "

A roaring flro blazed and crackled in

an - place at a
resort near hero the ether evening ,
says a letter from Oakland , Pa , to the
New York Tribune At intervals dur
ing the early evening half 11 dozen
hardy and bushy-whiskored resident
huntbrs and trappers strolled in and
sat on the benches Each ono told a
story or two about boars , some of which
arc condensed us follows :
Two of us were hauling logs out of
the woods back of Prices swamp last
winter , " saia a tall lumberman "We
had a shanty in the woods and wo ate
our dinners there and fed our horses on
oats out of canvas feedbags Our work
kept us about half a milo away from the
shanty between meals , but wo had to
pass the plaqo on our way homo at night
I wanted to use my dinner pail to dip
water with ono afternoon and so I put
some meat and bread I had left into ono
of the feod-bacs and hung the bag up
on two nails insldo of the shanty It
was dusk when wo drove townru the
shanty with a load of logs I was ahead
of the team , the ether follow driving ,
and as I neared the shanty I hoard a
big racket in it I made a rush for the
llttlo building and before I had gone
ton paces out dashed a whopping
big boar His nose was in the
food-bntr and ho couldn't ' got it out , bo-
ojiuso the rope was ever his nock He
couldn't see over the top of the bag and
ho wns hiflf scared to death when ho
got sight ofino The boar made a dlvo
behind the shanty and stnrtod for the
swamp and I yelled at the ether man
und told him to stop the tonm and
hurry down witli the ax Then 1
grabbed a canth00k and ran " after the
boar In his haste to clear out he'd
butted his head against a tree nnd
tura'bled backward , and before ho hnd
tlmo to rally I got a good grin ur.ound
the middle of his body with the cant
hook Ho yanked mo over somothiug
less than an ncro of brush , but I hold
him with the hook till the ether follow
came and crushed his skull with an ax
nnd then wo piled him on top of the
load of logs and toot : him homo IIo

Beside the lone river
Tlmt idly lay drcuuiinir ,
Flashoil sudden the gleaming
Of saber and < ; un
In tbo llgnt of tlio pun
As over the hlllsido the soldiers came
streaming
Ono peal of the bugle
In stillness unbroken
That sounded a token
Of soul-stirring strife ,
Savaco war to tlio knife ,
Then silence that Bccniod like doilanco un

But out of an ambush
Came warriors riding ,
. Swift ponies betridlng
Shook rattles and shells ,
With a discord of yells ,
That llred the hearts of their comrades iu

Then llerco on the wigwams
The soldiers descended ,
And madly were blended ,
The rod man and white ,
In u hand-to-hand light
With the Indian village assallod and de

And there through the passage
Of battle-torn spaces ,
From dark lurklnit placas ,
With bloodcurdling cry
And their knives held on high ,
Hushed Amazon wonion with wild , painted

Then swung the keen sabers
And flashed the Buro rtlles

While the reckless blue coats ,
Laughed 011 mid the fray us men laugh over

Grim cavalry troopers
Unshorn una unshaven ,
And uovor a craven

How like demons they fought
Round the knoll on the pi alrio that marked

ButthoSlouic circled nearer
The shrill war-whoop crying ,
And death hail was flying ,
Yet still they fought on
Till tbo lust shot was cone
And all that remained were the uead and the

A song for tbelr death , and
No black plumes of sorrow ,
This recompense borrow ,
Like heroes they died
Man to man bida by side
Wo lost them today , wo shall meet them

And on the lone river ,
