Br.TTKH NOT COMK. We have re
ceived n letler from Prof. DoWitt
Thompson of Chicago asking us if this
would bo n good town in which to do-
Jivcr nn illustrated lecture on the holy
( land , Wo don't think so. Wo have
found throe or four people during our
residence hero who incidentally referred
'to the holy land in convcrsalion , bul wo
'nro salislicd il is nn unknown neighbor
hood to'tho great majority. The boys
Would bo sure to got Iho niuno mixed up
with holy terror , unit they'd take front
Beats expecting something as tall as n
olrnlTo nnd as big as n hill to come out
iund yell. Wo know about what takes in
this town nnd what has to lly after the
.first net , and wo advise the professor to
iwss the town nbout snven miles away.
Gr.AD TO UHAUOF IT. At the meol-
Ing of Iho common council on Friday
evening Alderman Jim Hill , who had
boon drinking too much , wns ruled out
of order and asked to sit down. Ho re
fused and began an abusive speech. His
* ionor , the mayor , ( who is oursolf )
promptly throw him through a window
on to the roof of Joe Williams' saloon ,
nnd for nn hour or two the nlderman wns
supposed to ba Jead. Ho then rallied ,
'
bo'wuvor , nnd yoslerday wo were in
formed that ho was able to walK seven
feotnndgot a whisky botllo out of the
cupboard.
Wo are glad to hear that Mr. Hill is
friending. Wonro glad ho wasn't killed.
% Vo nro glud that ho will know botlor
than lo repent his performance of Fri-
iiay evening. As a town wo are some-
thallooso joinledns many other western
towns are , but when it comes to running
the common council , it's going to he run
us slick ns nny body of that sort in
America , or.his honor , the mayor , is go-
Jng to perish by the wayside.
"No IiONUS. Wo have received an in-
quiiy from n man in St. Louis nsking
what bonus this lown Is giving lo Iho o

the tax collector was ahot last week ,
taxes will bo very low this year nnd per
haps for two or three to come. When
the climate doesn't neglect business U

enough of the prollls. Only ono saloon

EVERYTHING WAS ALL RIGHT.

The major had invited mo to go out
with him to his plantation , and wo were
skirting n field wlioro n number of old
stumps had been sot on fire , when ho
suddenly stopped , snlllod the air and in
quired :
"Can't yo' smell something roasting

"Yes , there is n queer smell. "
"Smells llko n piece of old cowhide

"Smells like that old piece of cowhide

' 'Yes. Is anything wrong1'
"Not just yet , but something will bo

I reckon he's ever by the dnad troo.
Wo walked ever to the place desig

on the broad of his back , with his

had rags on his foot , and the rags on

"Boy ! boyl Oh , boy ! " called Iho

M. OUAU IN PHILADELPHIA.
If I should visit dotoclivo hoadquar-
lors in Iho city hall in Philadelphia to
morrow I know oxaclly what sort of n
greeting I'd receive. The boys would
all jump up from their chairs and yell
out :
"A-h-h-h ! The old man Bender come
to give himself UD ! ' '
Then I'd bo taken down , locked up
half a day and finally released with a
great deal of growling because they
couldn'l prove it on me.
I used to go to Philadelphia several
times a year to collect some money for
nn orphan. She was u real nice or-
phnn , but I hud to put the business over
to ether hands. They got so they ar
rested mo every time I showed up , nnd
their eternal vigilance finally made mo
tired.
On the occasion of my first arrest I
had landed in Camden. A" I boarded
the forrybo.it I noliccd a stranger eye
ing mo utloatlvely , and then consulting
a printed postal card. By Iho time the
boat landed at the foot of Market street
he was satisfied , and ho approached me
and said :
"No nonsense now Mr. White ! I
want you to go up to headquarters ! . "
I went with him. Ho was tickled all
over. Ho was sure ho hud a Pennsyl
vania embezzler , for whom a reward of
S2oJ was offered. J didn't want to dush
his hopns , und PO didn't say anything
until taken before Iho chief of police.
Thai was six hour sat tor my arrest as he
was out of town. I spent Iho interval in
a cell , and the cow thief in the adjoin
ing box kindly advised mo to keep my
mmith shut and do no squealing. They
had to turn mo loose. They did it
grudgingly and with a hint that I ought
to be held a week as a suspicious char-
actor.
A month later us I entered the city by
railroad , and just ns I was leaving the
big depot , a gentleman linked his arm
in mine in an afTeclionalo way and said :
"Now , then , stop right over with mete
to see the chief. I've been looking for
you for n long timo. "
"Haven't made nny mistake about it ,
have you ? " I asked.
"Not if the courl knows herself ! We
nro onlo your lilllo game and I've been
expecting you for a fortnighl. "
There isn't any use in kicking and be
ing disagreeable when a man has been
expecting you as long us that.
I tried to bo cheerful aa wo walked
along. I even joked with him , but ho
wns no jokor. Ho said I might ticlclo u
counlry constable with Borne of my old
chestnuts , but it wus useless to try thorn
on him. When wo got to heudquartors
Iho chief was oul. It was his duty to bo
out , I suppose. The statesman who ar
rested mo stood up ut Iho desk and
searched mo.
Ho seemed casl down because I didn't
pan out more , nnd when I tried to ex
plain that I was poor , but honest , ho
ordered mo to shut up. As no forged
checks or bu'-glur tools or stolen bonds
were found in my possession , I naturally
supposed that I would ho toM lo
depart in poaco. I wns mistaken ,
however. I was "taken down" nnd
locked up to uwait something or some
body. In the cell next to me was a gen
tleman named the bt. .loo Kid. Ho iiad
never boon in Si. Joe in his Ufa nnd ho
wus no kid , bul ho was nol caplious. Ho
bade me be of good chocr and keep
mum. Ho said u chap who kepi mum
could hardly over bo conviclod of any
thing , especially if ho hud $ < 50 to pay u
luwvor.
In duo time , which moans 5 o'clock
n.m in Philadelphia , I was taken before -
fore the chief. Ho was very frank with
me. While admitting Unit I wns not
the confidence man ho was looking for ,
und was thereforn discharged from cua-
lody , ho advised mo not to come to town
any oftener than was positively neces
sary , nnd to bo prop.ired for trouble nt
any moment.
My third nrrost was duo to my own
carelessness. Instead of waiting for
night nnd darkness , nnd then disguising
myself with a rod wig and n Spanish
cloak , I wont walking up Clioatnut
street in broad daylight. Protly soon
n alrango gonllomnn joined mo in my
travels. A still , small voice whispered
to mo lhat ho was ti detective , and that
I was run to earth at Inst ,
"Will you coino quiotlyordo you want
a row ? " ho kindly uskeU as wo euino lo
u corner.
I lold him that I wasn't the man and
that ho was only wasting his valuable
time , but ho was bigoted and mulish ,
nnd I wont along with him to headquar
ters. I expected to find the chief in.but
ho was out. Ho had gene to pay his gus
bill or water tax or something. When
the dotoctlvo searched mo ho seemed to
rocoguizo my tooth brush nnd to bo
tilled with doubts , but ho braced up and
took the chances. I was placed in u cell
with a young man who was sjapoctod of
having cashed a forged check. A broth
erly fooling soon showed iteelf , und he
led mo to the roar of the cell and whis
pered in my oar :
"They'll talk soft to you and promise
you everything , but don't eivo anybody
nwny ! ] f you can raise $30 I'll got you a
lawyer who can p-ovo nn alibi or got n
disagreement of the jury1 !
In nbout two hours I was taken before
the chief. llo scorned cast down ns soon
ns ho discovered thnt I was not the bank
sneak ho had been hoping to see , but ho
soon rallied nnd gave mo n fatherly
talk. The gist of it wa ? that if I put
the department to nny moro trouble
he'd feel obliged to look into my record.
Business connected with Iho orphan
obliged mo to go into town a month
later. I wanted to save the detocllves
trouble nnd therefore were goggles nnd
n slouch lint nnd wulkod with n limp. I
was only clear of the depot when n
stranger stepped UD nnd tendered mo n
bit of ndvice. It wns to the ollect that I
quietly accompany him to headquarters
nnd save the wear nnd tear of handcuffs
nnd medical charges. I accepted Iho
ndvico in Iho soli-it tendered. I starlod
out lo loll him some funny stories on
route , but ho commanded mo to shut my
ho d , and added thai ho wus on lo my
tricks nnd prepared for them.
On Ibis occasion Iho chief was in. Ho
seemed to bo expecting mo , HU face
were a glad smile until I ciune to a halt
before him , then the smllo disappeared
nnd ho wanted to know what in blank I
meant by plnving such blankotv blank
business on lhat department , i sought
to shift the responsibility on the shoulders
'
ers of the dolecllvo , but'hu indignanlly
protested. Then I sought to establish
my right under theconslilullon lo enlor
Philadolphlu on business connoclcd
with an orphan , but thov talked mo
down. I demanded to bo locked up as
a suspicious character unlil they could
lolegraph around the country und find
where I wns "wanted , " but the chief
ordered mo to bo taken to the fronl door
and lurned out upon the world in a
snowstorm. Before I went , however , ho
dropped a hint that if I was ever pulled
in agnin ho'd lay himself out to sco thai
I got from llvo to fifteen years some
where.
While I have no orphan business now
lo call me lo the City "of Brotherly Love ,
I should like to drop in there occasion ,
ally to see how things get along. While
I don't object to being arrested and
searched und recorded , it seems lo
bother nnd annoy the police , and if per
sisted in , will probably result badly for
mo. I therefore desire to come to some
sort of an understanding which shall bo
mulually satisfactory to both sides. I'll
notify the chief throe or four days in ad
vance of my coming , or lie can notify mo
what date will bo the most convenient
for him to receive mo. If ho says ho
will bo in his olllco from 10 to 12 a. m. or
from 2 to 4 p. m. , I'll arrange to arrive
in town so lhat I can bo arrested nnd
taken before him and discharged with
out loss of time to either. It will bo
useless for him to hold me beyond a day
or two. Most of my crimes have al
ready been atoned for , nnd the remain
der couldn't bo made to stick if ho f.ried
ever so hard.

A Itcmurlcilj'.i' disc.
A somewhat remarkable case in army
annals is that of Ernest Ulrich , a Mis
souri soldier , Ulrich served his country
faithfully in the field until malarial
fever and other afllictions compelled
him to go homo. Believing that his
absence would create an awkward gap ,
Ulrich sent his only son to take his
n lace in the army under his own name
to continue his service as it no change
had lakon place. In this way resulted
a state of affairs somewhat analogous to
the well known Comedy of Errors. The
application of the older Ulrich for relief
brought the case before the stale committee -
mitteo on military affairs. Hero it
was shown thnt Ernest Ulrich , aged 40
years was enrolled on September 13 ,
1801. in Company G. Engineers of the
West , Missouri volunteers , to servo
throe years , und nbout October 20 , 1862 ,
being ill , was pormitled lo go homo und
wus allowed lo send his son , Christian
Ulrich , to take his place and serve out
his term , and said Chrislinn Ulrich
in the name of his father served faith
fully , and on January 24 , 1804. veteran
ized , and was transferred to Company I
First Missouri engineers , on February 10 ,
1804 , and was imiitorod oul with "the
company on July 22 , 1SU3.
The only thing on record indicating
thai Iho Ernest Ulrich who enlisted
September 13 , ISO ] , was not the same
person who veteranized on January 24 ,
1801 , is the description showing ago ,
etc. . of Iho Ernest Ulrich who veteran
ized. There was no concealment nor
attempt to conceal the substitution.
The company officers nnd the men know
of Iho change or substitution.
A leltor from the pension ofllco shows
applications for pensions for bolh , and
Iho reasons why Christian Ulrich , serv
ing under his father's name , wus pensioned -
sionod and pension denied lo Iho father.
Under the circumslancos of this case ,
the committee boilovo that the record
of Ernest Ulrich should.be corrected and
completed , to show him discharged Oc-
lobor 20 , 1S02 , by reason of having
furnished his son , Chrisliun Ul
rich , us n substitute , who , under Iho
name of bin father , completed the term ,
veteranized , and was honorably dis
charged on July 22 , IStio , and u corlifi-
cato to that oll'ect issued to him. The
War department bus decided it can not
nmko the correction , and the committee ,
believing the case pocu iar and excep
tional , and justifying spociul legislation ,
reported a bill buck to the Senate favor-
nbly , and recommended its passage ,

A RAILROAD HER01XE.
Written for The lie ? by F. K. S.
Old Bon. Clark had boon n go od cngl
ncor at ono time , but that tlmo wns long
slnco past Ben had-a fondness lor the
flowing bowl that hafl oeon his downfall ,
llo had boon put down from the fast
mall to n passenger run and lln.illy had
to go hauling freight. When ho was
sober there wasn't , n bolter or nioro
careful man on the road , but when ho
wasn't which was frost of the time
his fireman had to , " watch him pretty
closely. It was no uncommon thing to
see old Bon with Forty-eight coino in
with the engineer scarcely able to keep
hlo seat and with his daughter , a girl of
17 who know more noout an engine than
half the men on the road , handling air
and throttle llko an old oneineor.
This motherless girl was a universal
favorite among the employes and Bon's
shortcomings were not so severely dealt
with as they would have boon otherwise.
Sbo was known ns Blazes on account of
ho.1 liory temper.
Many of the train mon , most of thorn
in ( not , had fallen In love with Blazes ,
for whllo she was not by any moans
handsome there was a charm in her
wild hot tompar and she hud the bright
est and blackest pair of nyos in the
country around. Blaze- ' , however ,
didn't seem to have vary much use for
the men. Her experience with the BOX
us far as her imrcnt was concerned was
EUCU that she thought that she was able
to tnlto care of borsolf about as well as
any man could euro lor her. With ono
exception.
Dave Gilchrirfl ran passenger No. 5
out of Como and there wasn't a more
spruce looking conductor on the road.
Ho was a dashing handsome young fol
low and ho ruled supreme in the heart
of this llorco untamed creature of the
round house and yards.
Blazes had never boon to school but
she had a good deal more of good com
mon sense than is usually allotted toyo
mortals. All her life had been spent in
the round house and around the yards
and she loved the iron monsters with a
love second only to her passionate af
fection for Dave Gilclirist whoso wife
she hud thought to be.
Now Dave Gilchrist was , after the
manner of his kind , something of a
"masher" and though Blazes did not
know It and would not have believed had
It boon told her , he was married already
but , man like , ho did not see us that \yas
any reason why he should not tlirt with
Blazes or any other girl that took his
fancy.
Ono evening as Dave and Blazes were
sitting on the sofa in Ben Clark's little
parlor or more properly as Dave was
touted on the sofa and Blazes , well she
wus on his lap u picture dropped out of
his pocket and fell unuotlccd to the
lloor.
r
After Dave had gone. Blazes saw the
picture and picking It up she road upon
the back , "Mrs. Dave Gilchrist. " The
picture was that of a fair girl apparent
ly about nor own ngo'and as she looked
at it Blazes realized that her lover had
been deceiving another trusting
woman as well as wrqckinir her own hap
piness. Strangely enough she did not
huto the fair creature whoso counterfeit
she was gnzing at , but a-athor she pitied
hor. '
Choking back a passionate sob Blaze
went to bed , but it was little rest ho gos
that niirht. In the early morning she
crept out to the shed where her favorite
old engine , old Seventy-nine was under
going the grooming and slipping into
the cab she sat and thought.
She felt drowsy and soon foil into a
light do/o from which se was awakened
by the sound of a whisuored conversa
tion. Ono of the voices bho recognized
as a man who had been trying to incite
the men to a general upribing and the
other was that of a man who had boon
discharged from the service a few days
before.
"How about the telegraph wires ? "
asked the walking delegate.
" ' 'em O.K. "
"I've lixed , replied the
second. "There's only one thing I don' ,
like about this 'ore job. Dave Gil
Christ's wife's u-goin to come down on
that train und I'm afeard she'll git
hurt. It's u h 11 of a way for Dave to
make love to Blazes when he's got u
wife in Topaz. "
"Well , "said the delegate , "we'll got
even with the corporation this time.
I've fixed the rails so that Six'll go into
the ditch just the other side of the sta
tion. Some of the olllcials are a-comiu'
down with her , d n 'em. "
Blazes wailed until the men were out
of sight. "She's duo in thirty minutes
und they've spiked the rails just beyond
the brid'ge , " tiho thought. Luckily old
Sovoniy-uine had up steam wailing to
go oul with the caslbound local Unit loft
after Six had passed.
Blazes beized the throttle and the en
gine sprang out of the stall like a star
tled bird from her nest "There's a
straight road to Topaz and the engineer
will sec mo in time to slop. Thai puor ,
fair ladv. But she's D.ivo s wifo. Mobbo
if she was dead D.ivo'd marry mo , " she
thought , und involuntarily slowed up.
But the boiler side of her nature as
serted itself and she sped on with the
speed of u frightened pigeon.
Suddenly she hoard the sound of
wheels behind. The wreckers had di
vined her purpose und given chaso.
"My Godl" she thought. "I can't keep
ahead of 'em and do all the firin' , " but
never a thought of abandoning the
undertaking occurred to hor. Slowly
the bettor manned engine guinod upon
the bravo girl. Seventy-nine was doing
her best , but Blazes was not equal to
the tusk of handling her engine and
keeping up the fires.
The chase kept up for several miles.
Il was twenty to thfc first station und
Blazes saw lhat she jvas fcoon to bo cap
tured. Her face paled as a buudon
thought Hashed across her mind and
her lips quivered , but Bho sol her tooth
and plied the wnninjr fire with fresh
coal. Seventy-nine was running fifty-
llvo miles and the pursusrs were not 100
yards behind when , with smothered
cry , "God help mo ! " I 'a for Dave and
her ! " Blazes quickly reversed und throw
the throtlle wide open.
The engine responded like a thing of
life and sprang back toward the pursu
ing monster. There was a terrible
crash , a woman's shriek , the horrible
hiss of escaping stoum and Bluzos had
saved the train.
The cncinoor of No. Six was loaning
out of his cab und fur nhoad ho saw the
wrecked onginbs. Two short , sharp
blasts of the whistle and ho had his
Iruln under control. Slowly ho drew
near the scene of the catastrophe won
dering what could have been trio causa.
When the train came to u stand still
ho leaped fiom his seat and ran to a
mangled body lying near poor old
Seventy-nine.
"My God ! Its Blazes ! " Aa the pas-
nongors crowded around , ono tall blonde
bent over the dying girl.
'
"Mrs. Gilohr'i8tVl ?
"Yes , dear , what ia It. "
"I did it for you. Loan down closer ,
closer , I loved him Dave and and
