jj The friends of W. H. FoMor , the veteran
' , J florist of Council Bluffs and Omaha , nro
( much alarmed over hli mysterious disappear-
nnco Sunday evening. Ho loft his residence
J on Harrison street In the Bluffs at 8 o'cloclf ,
* saying that ho would look after the fires at
! the irroenhouse only a few rods away. That
i was the last heard of him , and ho has dropped
-i out of sight M completely as If the ground
i had opened and swallowed him up. Ho had
f about 1UO In his pocket when hu disappeared
and foul play Is Icarcd.
Mr. Foster li r > 7 years of ago and has boon
In the florist's business for fifteen years. Ho
has had n branch onice In this city nt NW2
Capitol avenue for the past six years nnd is
well known on both slues of the river.
In leaving the house as hu did
Mr. Foster was following out his usual ens-
torn , as ho wns accustomed to rollro early
nnd always tnaclo a visit to the greenhouse lo
sec that thu bollois were working properly ,
When Mr. Foster did not return nt 11
o'clock , the family became alarmed , and it
was then learned from the night llroman at
the greenhouse that his employer had not
boon there. A search was begun and kept
up during the remainder of the night , but no
trace of thu missing man was found.
yesterday morning a party wnsorganlred
to search tlio woods In the rear of the gioon-
house , butnolhlni ; was discovered that could
throw any light on the caso.
Mr. Foator were his usual working clothes
, when ho went out , and no overcoat. The
family noticed nothing peculiar In his ac
tions , nnd nro satisfied that ho was In his
usual health.
The pel Ice have been notified and are on-
, delivering to find some clew that will enable
them to unravel the mystery.
llarnoy ( Jrahl stated yesterday that ho
saw tbe missing man between S and U o'clock
last evening on Avenue A , between Eighth
and Ninth streets , with a basket on his arm ,
headed west. Wuorc ho was going at that
hour or on what mission Is something
, | that his friends cannot imagine.
. The young lady who has charge of the
I' Omaha olllco was across the nvor In the
afternoon , and when she loft about six
, o'clock for homo Mr. Foster stated that ho
lt ( would bo over In the morning with the
li , ( lowers as usual if nothing happened.

I.OU.tl , HITS Of COTMlt.
There Is a phonograph nt the union Jono
and it has moro to answer for than olho
ploco of furniture in tuat muoli-abuscu
tructuro.
Yesterday morning a Cumlng county
plug hat nnd Its wearer alighted
from the Union Pacific nccommoda
tlon train from the west , and
> after strolling around for a few minutes approached
preached Jim Haokot at the news stand and
Oomandod : "What's that thnr thing I" nod
ding toward the phonograph that was roclln
Ing peacefully against the wall a shor
distance away , "That , " replied Mr. Hacket
ns ho coolly picked till teotb with tbo stem
of acorn-cob pipe , "Is a product of modern
invention that will give you anything yoi
ask for from a Sunday schoo' ' cantata to
pooch on free silver , free trade or iroc
boodle Jn tbo council. All you Imv
to do is to drop a nickel iu the slot and tauo
youroholco. "
The bat and its humtiti accompaniment
walked over to the machine , ami nftor ab
sorbing a little more Information said he
' 'guessed ho'a put oi ) tto bridle nn' glva 'or
o whirl. " Ho attached the tubes to his well
developed listening apparatus , ami loanlnc
over toward tbo ticket window , ihoutotl.
"Glmtno a brass band. "
Ticket Agent Fonda taw what was up and
after nodding assent hit bis ticket ttntnp u
oouplo of vlgoioui thuuipi. The cylinder
reached the opening bar just at thftt instant ,
and the boatlUo smllo that passed over the
listener's face when ho heard the strains of
"Mary and John" would have cured
n ham. Ha boon tno a fixture from
halt moment , and did not
show another-sign of lifo until fully five
tnlnutns aftnr tlm cvllndcr had stopped ,
When satisfied that the band had passed
around to the other sldo of the block ho laid
down the tubes with a .sigh uncl stopped up
to the window and bopin negotiating with
Mr. Fonda for the lattor's job.
Ho was hard to kill , but ho died compara
tively easy at last.
The next victim wns a jolly httlo Irishman ,
who was still tired from tramping around
Lincoln so much on Monday. Ho evidently
mistook the phonograph for an ultogothor
different animal , for ho Inquired of Fonda ,
"who bcos the man wat runs this tolly-
phone 1
"Oh , It runs llsolf , " was the cheerful an
swer. "Drop In your nickel and you can got
the man votl want. "
The stranger stiffened his rather unsteady
lees and after letting go his coin , ejaculated :
"Jackson street 1 want Jackson street
Jn-a-a-ukson street , "
There wns n moment's pause , nmlj.hon the
tumult began nijnlii.
"I said Jackson street and Fourteenth
Jackson stro to h 1 wlilyor music 1 want
Jackson street. Stop vor d d racket and
talk to mo. "
But It wns no use. They were ovldontly
having a high old tlmo up at Fourteenth and
Jackson , and the disgusted Individual soon
appealed to Depot 1'ollcomun Milt. Joe told
him that bis man was probably enjoying the
wind-up of nn nil-night dancp.
"That's it , " said the Inebriated stranger ,
"I hoard 'em slngln' an' plnyln' mosolf. an" "
I'll go up there an1 drag him outso I will. "
Suiting hu actions to his words ho shoul
dered a small valise and started up the in
cline for Fourteenth and Jacluon , leaving n
hugely tickled lot of spectators howltnp with
merriment behind htm.
Ono certain Omaha attorney first nnd real
name concealed has n fashion of conducting
n doubtful cnso in much the sntno manner as
lie would support n bobtail flush In a cheap
lack pol Not many moons ngo ho was do-
feuding n constable who had levied on a vallso
while the latter wns In possession of its
rightful owner. During the altercation over
the vallso , which occurred In a uromlnont
hotel , ono of the straps was broken. On the
trial the hotel check boy was the chief wit
ness for the prosecution and the lawyer conducting -
ducting that side of the case cautioned him
against the binning tactics of the defense.
Something like this ensued :
"You say the strap was broken I"
"Yes , sir. "
"What became of the strap ! "
"I got part of it. "
"Can you show It ! "
" 1 have It in my pocket. "
"Show it to thu jury. " This in very stern
tones.
The boy produced n piece of strap from his
breeches' pocltot and exhibited it to the jury.
A smile of triumph shone from thu lawyer's
face.
"Is that tlio strap ! " ho demanded.
"No , sir. " was tbo calm ronly.
'
"Didn't you toll mo tba't you had the
strap ! "
"No , sir. "
"What did you tell mol" * ]
" 1 said I had u piece of the strap. "
5kTho grin that had been gathering on the
face of the jury became nudiblo , and the at
torney on the ether side made a sarcastic remark -
mark about counsel mistaking n law suit fore
o poker game. But , with face flushed with
determination , the lawyer persisted ana a
dozen more questions concerning the strap
were fired at the xvitnoss nnd were answered
very coolly. Finally the boy turned in the
witness ctiairdo ho could face his persecutor ,
and in a calm , superior way began explain
ing , as though talulnc to some simple person
who couldn't tnkn it all in at ono tlmo :
" * 'ou know a valise is something pnoplo
carry in their hands a small trunk , you
know what a trunk is. A vallso is about so
long , and about so wide , and ubcut so bl h.
It has a bottom In it , and a top. On the top
is u handle to carry It , It is made in such u
manner as to allow it to open one ha f
swings awny from the other. You can bring
the two halves together. This closes the
vallso. Around one end of the valise is
passed n strap. This strap has u buckle on.
If you buckle it you can hoop tbut opd of the
valise shut. On the other end of the valise
is another strap. If you buckle it , you can
keep that end shut. This tlmt I bold In my
hand is a piece of ono of those straps. "
By this tlmo the court was in a roar , and
the blullor laid down his hand.
Many persons in Omaha will readily recall -
call C. M. Jackson , the newspaper reporter.
"Jack's" many good qualities were over
shadow od by his groat'ovo ' for liquor ; but
oven this did not nlwnvn prevent or maybe
it engendered flashes of Intellect so brilliant
as to bo almost the radiance of genius. Jack
son wont to Salt Lake City many mouths
uco , and bus since ocen prominently con
nected wit' ' ' nowspapcrdoin in the Mormon
capltol. Last spring when the Salt Lake
election had resulted in a victory for the
liberals or nntl-Mormau element , Jackson
early In the evening scheduled" the news
to Tin : BBC , us follows : "Salt Lake election
victory for liberals ! bow rnuchi" Ho was
promptly Instructed to telegraph 300 words.
It was desired to give this important item u
prominent place In the news columns of Tin :
Bnu the next morning. The night slipped
along and the time for "closing up" came
'rouJid and nothing was heard from Jackson.
The night editor , however , was relying on
that message and hnd kept the first page
open to accommodate- . As tbn hour of
going to press came closer , some impatience
was felt , und u litllo wonderment as to what
had bucomo of Jackson. The United States
mails are inexorable , and wait for no ono , so
the page wns "closed" with a brief dispatch
sent by the Associated Press on the election ,
and the presses started. As the night editor
was leaving the ofllce , a messenger boy
handed him u message. It was the missing
dispatch from Salt Lako. Tearing the
envelope open , the editor uufoldoa the sheet
and read :
"Salt Lake liberal. Excuse mo , Mr.
Editor , but there's hell lo pay In bait Lake.

Overtures have been made on behalf of the
Omaha Jobbers to the Wabash to Join with
the Union Pacific in absorbing the 5-cent
bridge toll , which operates as nn oppressive
discrimination on Omaha shipments to Iowa
points , but tbo proposal has not received a
favorable consideration ,
General Manager Clark of tbo Union Pa
cific , however , has promised the Jobbers to
arrange a conference with the managers of
the Iowa lines. Ho has also agreed to bo
present , and ho has permitted the jobbers to
infer that ho will stand with them iu urging
Omaha's claim for relief ,
Under their trnfllo arrangement for the use
of the bridge the Keck Island nnd the Mil
waukee can mnko the desired concession
without any action of the Unlou Pacific , nnd
It is assorted that tuoso lines hnva such
favorable terms lor the use of the Unlou Pa
cific track that the actual cost of transporta
tion between Omaha and Council Bluffs is
comparatively a trlllo.
The Jobbers do not expect the Iowa , lines to
yield without nitrugglc , but they have boon
led to think that Mr. Clark Is now heartily
with them nnd will swing a powerful Influ
ence In their behalf. Strong opposition IB
cxDcotcd from thn Burlltigton and North
western , which have bridges of their own
and are collecting fat tolls. The proposed
conference will probably bo hold In Chicago ,
nnd the Jobbers , committee is awaiting uo-
tlco of its data from Mr , Clark.
Now Switching Schedule.
The now switching Bchodulo prepared by
Assistant General Manager Dickinson of the
Union Pacific makes the charges range from
$ J.23 ! to M. The rates under the old tariff
ranged from $1.50 to SI , and under the sched
ule now in force from ? ; i lo $ , > ,
Mr. Dickinson has submitted his revised
tarilT to the council committee on viaducts
nnd railways , presumably for the purpose of
Influencing the committee's report on the
switching track ordinance. The committee
will recommend the passngoof the ordinance ,
but may urge nn amendment that , will in
clude the trnoics of other railroads occupying
streets nnd alloys. Chairman Prince argues
that the council should not lay Itself o'pon to
the charge of enacting spiteful class legisla
tion , and ho holds that all tracks in question ,
without regard to which railroad company
owns them , should bo subject to the city's
regulation.
This Is to testify ttmt I have tested the
medical properties of Dr. J. B. Mooro's Tree
of Life remedy to my entire satisfaction , and
can most heartily recommend it to the suf
fering and alllietcd everywhere , to oo nil
claimed for it in the above statement. Last
spring I was suffering from loss of appetite ,
constipation , etc. , originating from kidney
and liver trouble , ana Ihr.d not used ono bottle -
tlo of this great lifo remedy until I was
greatly relieved. My wlfo , also , being at a
very critical stage in lifo , was suffering
much at times , nnd by the use of this remedy
has boon saved from much suffering and pos-
siblv from premature death. Our youngest
son's health for several years has been very
delicate. Ho contracted some lung trouble
by taking cold with measles , which produced
great nervous doblllty and occasional blood-
inc of the lungs ; helms used some four bottles
tles of Tree of Life , and feels nnd looks as
though now lifo had been given him. If you

Postmaster Clarkson has for some months
been trying to apprehend certain parties
who have been sending obsccno matter
through the mails. In spite of the most vigi
lant restrictions on the pare of the depart
ment some villainous persons htivo every now
and then succeeded in circulating obscene
books and circulars through the mails of
Omaha.
A few weeks ago ono of the clerks happened
to catch a circular sent out by some parties in
Council Bluffs calling themselves the Union
Novelty company. The circular advertised
n very obsoono book which was offered for
sale by the alleged novelty company.
, A number of circular letters of a similar
nature were intercepted the lioxt day and
they were all addressed to young Indies. A
man named J. C. Grason , living at r > 00
Graham avenue , Council Bluffs , was finally
arrested ns the guilty party. Ho was given
a preliminary examination Saturday after
noon and held under bonds to appear nt the
next term of the United States district

Ex-Congressman Connell said yesterday
hat at the last sosslun of congress
10 Intioduccd a bill providing that
ns soon as it was abandoned

ho city. Owing to the lateness of the Intro-
ductlou of the bill It never bccnmo n law. lie
understood that Senator Mn ml or.ion now had
such n bill before the senate. There could
bo no opposition to Its passage , ns It would
fllmnly idvo back to the city of Omaha some-
hlng that wai oriclimlly a gift to the United

The question of reversion as between the
city and the original donors , Mr. Connell
suid , had boon settled and the parties who
donated the land would lay no claim to the
Hie.

Mr. Connell was ot the opinion that It the

A Neglected
Feature-
Quality has been a neglected
feature with many retail gro
cers , and this no doubt , has
had an influence in encour
aging adulteration. It makes
no difterence.xwder what con
ditions adulterated articles
arc'sold or what excuse com
petition may\fiirnish for their
existence , the grocer owes
it to his calling and to the
consumers who trust him , to
encourage the sale and use
of Dr. Price's Delicious Fla
voring Extracts because of
their high/standard / and
purity. Never substitute a
low grade fora good quality.
