Iljc OtlicrStinrt Court
GcorRO II. Webster IB gone , but bis mem
ory flourishes wltb seine of hU former nsso
clatca In this city. His business methods
uoro so distinctively tils own that It fre
quently happened tlmt other parties could
not bo i tul u coil to nccopt tbum , nml this led
to several chnngrs of pirtnorshlp in linns
with which Mr Webster happened to bo
connected. Thisstntoof nlliilrs Is recoiled
by n suit that W s bef'Un Tuesday , In which
It S. Helchor sues the Common , ! il Directory
company tor f 100. Uoth plnlntllT nml do
fcndant wcro formerly among Wobstcr's
Borrow Ing partners , mid Mr. Webster is a
the bottom of the suit.
It scorns Unit \Vo03ter , who was president
of the idlrcctoiy company , lost the ronlldcnco
of bis partners its they beuiin to re ili/o thru
the concein did not mnko money as fast us It
should , ami as ho bad full charge of the book
keeping tbov began to dovlso wu > s and
means of getting him to stop down nnd out.
Mr Webster , however , know when ho hail it
irood thum nndns not disposed to let go.
His partners were convinced that unless they
could get rid of him bo would not only bann-
rupttbo company , but everything connected
with It ( is well , so they concluded to nay
him to sell out , nnd to tlmt end en
tered Into n contract with him to
l/lvo him $ .ICO , ( ) nnd tnko his stock olt his
hands at par besides.
Thus it happened that Mr. Webster was
clvon nn nbsoluto decrco of divorce fioni tie
directory company and bo associated himself
with Mr Hotelier in the Ucntr.il National
LSuildmg& Loan association ,
And here , too , there was trouble , nnd It
again bocatno advisable for Webster's part
ners to suggest his icslgnatlon.
The stoiy of lilt disappearance from the
cltv , leaving his Inmilv without inonov and
the servant girl minus $150 which bo hud
borrowed from bor nnd $15 wnge.s uuu , has
alrundy been published.
It now transpires that Webster assigned to
Belcher his $ .1,000 contract with the diice-
tory company , which was to bo paid in
monthly payment * , and on which there is
now duo the sum of ? IOO. It is to collect this
tnonoy that the suit Is brought.
The defendant compiny. however , claims
to have made discoveries since Webster was
induced , to sell out , and they have been able
to got at the books and ascertain the true
state of affairs , to the effect that ho bad cov
ered up bis shoitnges to the nmount of $100 !
by inlsiciuosctiting the liabilities of the concern -
corn , that ho collected ? TOO for \ \ hich bo pave
no credit or covered up by fatso en trios , that
Inquiries indicate tlmt another $150 was dis
posed of In the same manner , and there
nro still several counties to bear
from. Tutthor than this , the com
pany has been gatnishcod for the ? lGr >
that Webster owes the servant ghl , Stona
Christensen , nnd for another $ ' " > 0 that bo
owed 11. B. Morrow on a promissory iioto.
They rofiuo to pay the flOO on the face of
tbeso carnisbnioiUs and the evidences of in
debtedness duo the comoiny from Webster ,
nnd maintain also that the contract was not
nssignablo. The suit In no wise effects the
Btnndlngof the company , which for some
time has been a piospoious concern with the
substantial backing of the Nebraska State
Business Men's ' association , but brings to
public notice another chaptoi of Mr. Wob-
itor's bilof but biilliant career In Omaha.

ot on co instituted probate proceedings for the
inn pose of ascertaining the condition of the
Manning estate. After searching the rccoids
thoj dlscovciod that on October ! i. > , u few
days before bis death , Joseph Manning bad
deeded all of bis mopcity to Mary and Will
iam Hay , the defendants In the suit now on

An injunction was secured to restrain the
Ilajs from disposing of the property and

transfoi was for a good nnd valid considera
tion.

Two carloads of flno appearing'but un

jaids ycstciday fiom the far west and the
utcaKlng of the animals attiautod n largo
uiowd of people. A cowboy , who has gioat
skill ab a toper and horse li.iinor , was
the central flgiuo. Ills asbtslant was
n sorrel pony and his parapheinalla
Iwo labboos. Whoti a hoi = > o was puichasod
Iho cowboy would udo into Iho enclosure
whcro the untamed mil mil was confined and
thiow a lasso oior the neck of the stood.
Thlb Invaiiablo resulted in a number of .vihl
unties and runnum and toning by the cap-
luiud animal. The lasso was taslonod to the
pominul of his saddle and the trained po > iy
brncod himself and kept his head constantly
tin nod tovvaul thu fractious animal. Whotlior
tbo lope was on his back or off , the pony did
this pail of Iho work jusl iho same.
If itio wild horio still exhibited stuns ot
icbolllon the cowboy would , by a doxioiotis
movement , nmuugo to got the other lanai
limglod In the animal's legs nnd than thiow
him. Whllo piobtiato a halter would bo
buckled on and Ihun the horse allowed to
rise Hy strategic movements the animal
was foieod to the fence , whoio the long ,
strong halterstiap was hastily tied. After n
fuvv minutes' dospointo pulling the animal
would invailably be forced to rcaliia lhat ho
was a captive , and would accept the situa
tion. The animal would then bo led away us
though iicctibtomed to thu halter all Us lifo ,
The fences wcio coiibtantlv lined with

Beauty often depends on
plumpness ; so does comfort ;
so does health. If you get
thin , there is something
wrong , though you may feel
no sign of it.
Thinness itself is a sign ;
sometimes the first sign ;
sometimes not.
The way to get back
plumpness is by CAREFUL
LIVING , which sometimes includes
cludes- the use of Scott's
Emulsion of cod-liver oil.
Let us send you free a
little book which throws much
light on all these subjects. " "
