In the county seat of a little Texas frontier town an illiterate old cattleman was brought up before the grand jury for cow-stealing. The old man had been stealing cows all his life , and looked upon this , arrest as a joke , thinking that his money und his influence would bo able to pull him through , Confacnuontly ho bat through tlio trial with a look of sublime unconcern on his face , cutting oil chew after chow of tobacco , and whittling a bit of pine with his old Bar low knife. The evidence , however , seems to hava been conclusive , for the jury retired and speedily returned , bringing In a verdict of guilty'tuid , the judge assessed a term of five years in the penitentiary. "Whut'rf that ? " exclaimed the old ras cal , jumping up and spitting his quid out , "want's that , gentlemen ? Five year in the penitentiary ? Mo ? Five year In yor durncd ole jail that 'u/ built for hess thieves an' niggers ? Why , jedgo , " turning to the bench , "you'll ' have to fix this thing up ! I can't ' go !

Thcro is on interesting romunco con nected with the marriage of Bandit Henry Starr , now in jail in Denver. Ono night in August , 1892 , a train was held up at Pryor Creek , Ark. Starr remained on the platform of the first coach whllo his men were becuring the cash. cash.While While ho was standing there a young girl , wild with terror , rushed out and before Starr could stop her jumped off the car and ran away into the darkness The bandit did not give the matter a moment's thought * The train was de layed about half an hour and then Starr and his men rode furiously away through the woods. About a quarter of a mile away one of the robbers , who was riding In advance , came upon what teemed to bo a dead girl. Ho put spurs to his horse and made him jump over the bady. Several others followed , but when Starr came to the spot he dismounted nnd picked the girl up in his arms to see whether she was really dead or not. Slowly ehe opened her eyes and gazed in a dazed way at the faces of the rough men around her. Instantly Starr recog nized in her the girl whom ho had seen run away from the train. Ho at once ordered one of the men to carry the girl * along on his saddle. She was too frightened to make any remonstrance. The outlaws halted the next day about 10 o'clock in a secluded canon , where they pitched camp. Hero Starr put his fair captlvo under the care of an Indian woman and gave orders to the men to laavo her alone. The girl was pretty , apparently about 16 years old. Every time Starr appeared she plcadednvith him to take her back to her people , She said that her name was Mary Jones and that her father lived in Joplln , Mo. Her plea was un availing. On the third diy reports came to the camp that the marshals were on the track of the robbers and they were com pelled to leave. Starr had by this time taken a fancy to Mary and had her ride by Ills side. The country through which the bandits traveled was a rough one. Starr noticed , however , that Mary com plained less and. Io8sand had oven grown to like him ; but ho know also that she could not stand the rough treatment she was receiving , and when ho noticed that the marshals wore closing in on his band ho resolved to send her back to her homo , Before parting1 ho told her that ho would soon go to Joplin and marry her. She said that uhu would wait for him. In throe weekgrStarr wont to Joplin to claim his bride. Ho had but little dilll- culty In finding her , and after gaining the conaont of her parents ho was married tO'lier ' under the name 3a 3f Frank Jackson. No one In Joplin know him , and ho passed himself off as a Now Mexican Cruncher. From Joplin the young couulo went to Las Vegas , N. M. , nnd from there to Colorado Springs , whore ho was captured. A Cnrd from Mornn'o. It may interest our patrons to know that wo are going to make another alter ation of our store. Wo are not satisfied with everything and wo propose to spend a good many hundred dollars to produce the highest typo of a dry goods store. Wo think the public of Omaha will not bo long In detecting and appre ciating the changes. We need more room upon our first floor. This is not talking paradoxical. The patronage bestowed upon us the past season wo ap preciate , and beg to thank the public for their liberal support. Progressiveness - ness Is a strong characteristic with us and \\omean to merit the patronage of the public by making shopping a pleas ure and a profit to the people of Omaha by all tho. conveniences of a well planned and model establishment.

Therefore don't forgot the alteration sale ; perchance you'll ' find a bargain , THE MORSE DRY GOODS CO. Now and rare drugs. Sherman & Me- Council , Dodge street , west of P. O. Don't ' forgot to see Avondale park when ortt riding. The late Abbott Lawronno of Mass achusetts loft bequests aggregating 833- 000 to educational Institutions in that state. Mr. W. C. Todd has given $2,000 a year to the Boston Public library to bo expended in newspapers for the free reading-rooms. Clmutauquahas again buckled down to work , and this fountain of popular culture is ljubbling sweetly toward the four corners of the land. Miss Margaretto A. Moody , a icachcr in a public hohool in South Boston , Mass. , has resigned after an unin terrupted service of fifty-two years. The grateful Alumni association gave her u basket containing fifty-two roses. C. K. .Tennoss , associate professor of sociology in the Stanford university , has started out in California as an ama teur tramp to study the condition of that undesirably largo class of repro bates and ascertain , if possible , what makes them such. The Pratt institute , of Brooklyn , teaches twenty-live different branches to women , among which are dressmak ing , millinery , cooking , laundry work , sewing , typewriting , bookkeeping , nor mal training in art education , designing - signing , art needlework , photography , wood carving , architectural drawing and library training. THE BEE is in receipt of a tastefully printed souvenir , descriptive of the Droxcl Institute of Philadelphia , founded by Anthony Jo&opliDrcxcl. Besides the descriptive mutter there are handsome lithographs of the exterior and interior of the institute , which give a clear idea of the magnificent equipment of this monument to Mr. Droxol's generosity. The annual catalogue of the Univor slty of Notre Dame , just Issued , sketches the growth of that educational institution , the course of study and the roster of students for the past year. The university is in a flourishing condition , and its venerable founder , Very Rev. Edward Sorin , C. S. C. , still exorcises a controlling influence in tlio management of its au"a.rs. An old program of the Harvard com mencement exorcises for 1801 records on that occasion there were orations in La tin , Greek and Hebrew , English poems , forensic disputations , colloquial discus sions , and dialogues on the questions of the day , besides a number of English orations. An account of the exorcises says that "tho house was crowded in every quarter , and the cir cles of ladies were brilliant and animating. The performances wore received as the evidence of solid learning and useful application , and the applause they met was judicious and blncore. " According to the statement of tlio San Francibco Bulletin , tlio Leland Stanford university Is nowhere so rich us it was supposed to bo. Tlio property Senator Stanford gave during his lifetime is said to bo worth certainly not moro than 82- , 500,000 and has so far returned only'a small income.

The average man never goes into moro than two or three states of the union. By going to the fair he sees all the states on dress parade , and it is enough to open his oycs. His old hldo- jound notions are wiped out In loss-than no tlmo and before ho realizes it. Chicago is beginning to rcali/.o In a practical and substantial way upon its investment in the Columbian exposition. In the period embraced in the last 120 days of the fair it is estimated that a sum ranging from 9120,000,000 to $150- 000,000 , will bo brought to Chicago and loft there. The man who can walk through the entire length of Midway plaisutieo and back again and all the way utterly ig nore the seductive invitations of the many criers describing the things to bo soon and had inside the villages , streets nnd camps may bo considered proof against the wiles of bunco men and sharpors of all borts. Ho is certainly endowed with a' most impressionable nature. Nebraska has 100,000 , boxes of licet sugar to give away. Each box contains just about enough of the article to sweeten a good cup of colTeo , but some big figures are printed thereon. For instance , the surprising announcement IH made that the probable crop of the product in that state the present year in 0,000,000 pounds , us agaiiibt 500,000 pounds last year. Cliicago is bragging about having a largo party of her first families on the exposition grounds. They are sixty-one Potttiwattiunio ami Winnebugo Indians , including lineal descendants of old Black Hawk and Sag wash. As part of the .an thropological exhibit they will bo shown engaged in their various Industries. In one tent the arrow makers will whittle out their weapons : in another the squaws are to make moccasins , Ic'ggins and bead work. The native band has fee- cured an old drum to help their willow whistlers. The trhost dance and the war dances nro to bo given. In the col lection which accompanies the Indians are tomahawks and war clubs , pipes , wampum and 1,000 varieties of beads. From an , upper window of Louis iana's building a live Evangelino , as she cards the cotton and spins the string , looks down upon Hiawatha in plaster before the Minnesota seta building. The dark eyed gii4 in the homespun frock and with the high cotton cap is nn Acadian. She and two others from Iberia , surrounded by the furniture and the utensils of the simple Acadian llfo , make cottonado on an At- tukapas loom 100 years old. And some of their work is displayed in the form of "Evangolino portieres. " This Acadian homo with its real Actuliuns , is the chief attraction in the Louisiana building. The visitor who carries a notebook is a woman. It is very rarely that a man is seen burdening himself with n memo randa of his observations. If ho wants to take away some material impressions of the fair he docs HU with the hoi ] ) of a kodak. Thousands of women begin their World's fair vlblt with a book and pencil In hand. They are very Indus trious the first day. They stop in the middle of the aisles and before the most Interesting things. They are wholly oblivious to ( surroundings. They press the pencil meditatively against the lips. Then they scribble with great care , road what they have written and move along to the next thing with a look of satisfac tion. Of'1.000 notebooks which htart on a given day , 100 will disappear on the second day and by the end of the week 100 possibly will bo in use. The World's fair is strewn with wrecks of good reso lutions made by women visitors to record what most impress them. The Fisheries building on the World's fair grounds Is always crowded with visitors. It Is a plaacantly cool bullnlng to visit on a warm day because of the amount of running water within and the general style of architecture , though ' ' Is much smaller1 than most of the soixtlfHy" * buildings. There are complete exhibits of llslilng products and fishing boats and Implements from Norway , Sweden , Rus sia. Canada , Ceylon , Germany , Great Britain nnd our own country ; shells , corals , cured fish and models of fish hatcheries and fish ways ; mounted aquatic birds In great numbers ; speci mens of fish ami casts of fish from many lands , and , fc.stoonlng the entire ro tunda , are great brown nets , ono of them ; t,000 feet long. There are so manyllfo' , * size dummies dresed in llHhurmon'g costumes , Hitting in bouts , climbing masts or haulltig In llsh that ihe newly- arrived visitor is at llrst quite sure that ho is in the midst of living and breath * Ing fisher-folk , PENNY-IN-THS-SLOT QAS METER Novel und I'oiiuliir AlipHr.itlon of tit * 1'rllirlpln. The ponnyln-the-slot principle hni been applied very Mieeessfully to gas meters in several largo English cities. The Liverpool Gas company llrwt began the experiment * of putting these ma chines Into artisans' house * several years ago. In 1S90 100 motors wore at work In Liverpool , and from that time until now the dlllloulty has been to construct tlio machines quickly enough to supply tlio enormous demand. In 1801 the company fixed 1.1)75 ) meters , In 18)2 ! ) , 4,0118 , , and now in Liverpool alone there are be tween 8,000 and 0,000 automatic motors In UHO. Some Idea of the popularity which they have attained may be gath ered from the- fact that the Liverpool Gas company receives on nn average 100 applications a week for prepayment meters from persons who live In houses and cottages of small weekly rents. The fame of the now invention quickly spread to other largo centers , and at the pres ent time rapidly increasing demand for them has arisen In London , Leeds , Bristol tel , Manchester , Birmingham , Black burn. Helton and other townn. In its latest form the muter bus three dials marked , " .C , s. , and d. , " nnd no sooner hits a penny been dropped Into the slot than the hand of the "D" dial records It. When twelve pennies have been dropped lu. the "D" dialslnndsat "O , " whllo the hand of the "S" dial records that 1 shilling's worth of pennies are in the drawer , and HO nn , until 20 worth of , gas has been paid for. The hands can. only move ono way , bo that the householder - v holder practically gets an indisputable receipt for the pennies ho puts into the slot and the total amount ho has paid for his gns. An indicator shows how many feet of gas are "paid for but uncon- sumcd.
