A complaint wa-i made at the police headquarter -
quarter * ) shortly after midnight yesterday
morntnc by Mrs. Annto Moore to the effect
that a ybung man named Daa Wllllami had
run off with her daughter Jonnle the night
before , and had succeeded lu accomplishing
her ruin. She accompanied her complaint
with wild howls that could bo heard for scv
oral bloc'.is. Mrs. Moore keeps a house on
Plerco strast , and the fact that a woman
with a reputation llko she h.n should onto r
any such complaint gave rlso to a
suspicion that thcro was a story
connected with the affair. A visit
to the house of MM. Moore failed to throw-
any light on the subject , as the lady was
away from home , but a few doors away the
girl herself has a house , and she was found
at home , though not dUpaied to talk very
freely about the matter. She stated that
Williams who has boon paying sotno atten
tions to her of late , took her out walking in
the evening , ana they were out until about
11 o'clock. This was done without the
knowledge of the old lady , and
she assigns that as the reason
for the complaint. She says that "Williams
was all rlirht , " and if the old laay had boon
allowed to have a linger in the plo she would
have been willing that the girl should asso
ciate with him. But the fact that she had
gone off and captured the young man with
out any maternal aid was galling to her
mother's liner sensibilities ; hcnco the
trouble.
' Williams lives on Park avenue and works
for J. C. Bixby , the plumbar. Ho was out
of the city list evening and It was salil that
ho had gene In order to get away from the
officers In case an attempt should bo nude to
arrest him.

There will be a meeting this afternoon of
the township trustees to elect a justice of the
peace and constable as successors toV. . P.
Patton and J. L. Foreman. The place of the
meeting has not been made public , as J. F.
Lutz. township clerk , says ho doesn't care to
have his olllce tilled with a crowd of loafers
and hangers-on , as it certainly will bo If thcro
is any suspicion that that is to bo the place of
mooting , but at all events the meeting Is to be
held , and tbo hearts of several men will bo
either sadder or gladder before twenty-four
hours have rolled around. T hero are quite a
number of applicants for the positions. It is
stated that A. T. Whlttlcsey , L. Swoarin-
gea. J. M. Shea , N. Schurz and C. Wesley
are willing to lav down their constitutional
opposition to ofllce-holdiiiK and accept the
position of Justice of the peace. D. K. Dod-
son Is also a candidate for the offlco and as ho
Is a member of the board of trustees he has
something of an advantage over the other
candidates , but it Is said ho will not use his ad
vantage unless ho thinks ho cannot be elected
without voting for himself. E. S. Barnctt ,
who held the ofilco last year. Is also a candi
date , but the fact that ho is a republican
while all the members of the board are demo
crats detracts considerably from his chances ,
although the trustees are all personal friends
of his. A. L. Hendricks Is mentioned as a
possible candidate , but ho will not say any-
thlriLas to his aspirations. Ho refuses to
tell his friends either that ho Is a candidate
or that ho is not. Ills friends are working
for him , however.
There is not so much of a rush for the offlco
of constable , as there is neither the money
nor the glory connected with it that is with
the other. C. Wesley , C. O. Despalno ,
Charles Nicholson and Frank Covalt are in
the field , however , and it is said that thcro
are other applicants , whoso names will bo
submitted to the board this afternoon.

A New York barber relates among other
freaks of nature ho has noticed that of a man
whoso beard , as soon as It attained a two
days' growth , seemed to curl up at tbo ends
and tried to grow in.
Two young Frenchmen , brothers , Gram-
Grjimallo by name , habo Just returned from
the ancient kingdom of Lob , in eastern Turk- !
stan. They bring homo with them some wild
horses , which are not the descendants of
domesticated spoclmens.llko ttio wild horses
of the South American Pampas , but the real
primitive wild typo and the progenitor of the
domesticated breed. Thrco of these were
shot In tbo Dzur.garian desert , just north of
Guchen , after a long and dlfllcult chase.
A queer specimen is exhibited at tbo San
Francisco mining bureau. It is known as
the man-faced crab and has a body not quite
nn Inch long. It bears a perfect impression
of the face of a Chinese coolie ; a veritable
Missing link , with eyes and nose and mouth
all clearly defined. There are immense num
bers of these crawlin'g imps in the inland
sea of Japan. From out of the "chin" of
the crab grow two arms on either side , whllo
It has two legs about two inches and a half
long on either side of the face , seemingly
growing out of the back of the head.
San Francisco has an ordinary-sized gray
horse , with n most amiable cast of countenance -
nanco and with nothing remarkable about
him except the possession of a large and
well shaped mustache. The latter is kept
carefully trimmed and brushed by the owner
of the horse. Ho Is six years old and was
born in Mexico , but sp far as can bo learned
ho is the only member ol his family that has
over been blessed with either mustache or
whiskers , On the contrary , his father's lip
was without suspicion of hair and his mother ,
of course , was a stranger to such a thing.
Ho Is simply a freak.
A monkey-faced owl , which attracted much
attention at the La Granee ( Ga. ) Zoo for the
past year , now has a male. Forsomo tlmo the
cries of a wild bird were , heard about the
court housoat , night and the boys set a trap
to catch him. About 9 o'clock one night cries
of distress were heard coining from the
neighborhood of the trap , and an investiga
tion showed that it had its steel jaws firmly
fastened to the foot of the wild bird. It was
immediately placed in the cage with the old
favorite , ana they are now as loving as cooing
doves. They are a strange and uncanny pair
of birds , and are the only specimens of the
kind ever seen hero. The question is : How
did the wild bird find out whcro the captive
ono was !

Hero nro some of them :
Most great men have had great
mothers. Most great women have had
grout fathers.
Most of the great are like mountains ,
with the valley of ancestors on ono side
and the depression of posterity on the
other. Shakespeare know little of Kings.
Ho makes them say great things , talk as
they should , not as they do.That is
proof sufficient to mo that ho did not
know them.
When men are prosperous they are in

takes the impression is an artist.
It is possible thnt Bacon left the best
children of his brain on Shakespeare's
doorstop and kept the deformed ones at
homo ? The fact that Bacon did not
claim to bo the author of the plays
proves that ho was not. Suppose a man
left this epitaph for his tombstone in his
will :
"Here lies John Smith , inventor
of the dog churn. "
Is it possible that ho could huvo been
the inventor of both the dog churn and
the locomotive ?

HOOTED TO THE SPOT.
Joke I'lnyetl on n Man Who Is Now
n College I'rcHlilcnr.
I heard a btory the other day about
the former assistant rector of one of the
largest Episcopal churches in the city ,
eays a writer In Brooklyn Life , The
gentleman in question in now the presi
dent of a college so far away that ho can
not mind if I relate the incident. IIo
was a jolly good follow when ho lived in
a boarding house lioro and In his oil
hours was accubtotned to join In with the
ether good follows of the house in ti
friendly game of whist or a smoke.
Ono evening wlioc ho was out at scr-
vlco two of the wags of the establish
ment remembered that It was an invari
able habit upon returning homo to doll
his roundabout vest and clerical coat ,
put on an old smoklng-jackot and cn-
ciibo his feet in n pair ol morocco slip
pers , which latter always occupied the
bamo position on his bed-room lloor pre
paratory to his coming. Accordingly
they firmly nailod.theso slippers to the
lloor and awaited results in the next
room.
Presently the dominie returned. They
heard him moving about ; they heard
the thud of his shoes as they
were taken olT and thrown down ,
and then all was silcnco. They peeked
cautiously in , and there beheld the
young clergyman standing in his slip
pers , his face white as a sheet , and a
look of horror upon it , his eyes btaring
straight ahead. The sight was too much
for them , out they managed to suppress
their laughter and ask in a tone of
amazement what the matter was.
"Matter , " ho gasped , "there is matter
enough boys ; I'm paralyzed and can't
move hand or foot. For mercy's sake ,
help mo. "
The man did actually , such is the force
of imagination , believe ho was para
lyzed for n moment or two , but ho
anally sot 'em up in a manner appro
priate to his calling by buying cigars
for the crowd.
They Got It of Course.

AHOUT BUFFALOES.
A Peculiar HuslnoKH That lg Interest
ing and Said to Ito Profitable.
C. J. Jones of Garden City , Kan. , known as
"Buffalo Jones" because ho owns a buffalo
ranch in Kansas , is at the Casey hotel.
Mr. Jones will remain in Omaha a few
days until the attachment suit over the
possession of six head of buffalo ,
now In Sheriff Boyd's possession Is
settled. Speaking of the difficulty last
night. Mr , Jones said to a reporter for Tit K
EEC : "This fellow Glasstnan , at Gurfield
Beach , Utah , had no right whatever to sell
these buffalo. Ho had not paid for thorn ,
and In fact wo never sold thorn to him ; but
tbo arrangement was a sort of partnership
business In which wo were to run a summer
resort attraction with tbo buffalo and start a
brcodlnc ranch. These animalt were shipped
to him from our ranch in Kansas and wo
never intended that they should bo sold to
anybody. I think I will get the buffalo back
and if I do I think I shall take thorn to Cul-
bcrtson , Nob. , and open a buffalo ranch.
"I have been at Columbus for some tlmo
constructing an irrigation ditch. Wo shall
open it pretty soon with a great blow
out That is a great ditch. It will
water about one hundred thousand
acres of land , and will bo ready for use this
year. "
Speaking of buffalo breeding , Mr. Jones
said : "The buffalo is not a difficult animal
to handlo. They cat hay freely and can llvo
very comfortably on it through the winter
time. I have made some very inter
esting experiments wlih tbo buffalo. I
have about halt a dozen new and
distinct breeds of cattle all coming
from crossing the buffalo with the Galloway
the .Durham , the Poled Angus and the Texas ,
cattle. The breed that I get from a cross bo-
twcen the Galloway and the buffalo Is a
splendid animal. I have Galloway-buffalo
calves only ono year old that weigh 900
pounds. The half-breed has n. much
inoro even coat of hair an'd the
skins make splendid rugi and robos. For
boot they are excellent. In crossing the buf
falo with the Texas cattle tbo half-breed has
long slim horns , almost transparent and very
beautiful. "
