BOY ROBBED ON THE STREET Tramp IiTakos His Attempt nt Footpad Work Pay Hiui Well , FIVE DOLLARS SECURED BY THE BOLD THUG Dii.tllirlil Holdup \Vltm-4N\-il hy n \umln-r of PinpliWho Pit A'ut InI < TIVre mid AlliMv Ihe Ituhhei- i : eniu' . A footpad secured $5 and an opportunity to spend It yesterday by holding up tin- owner on the street at 0 o'clock and In view of n number of people. The victim was the 12-year-old son of William Watson , u check clerk for Deere , Wells' St Co. The holdup occurred on Third street , near Ninth avenue , and within a block of the lad's home. The money had been given to the boy for the purpose of purchasing soma household necessities , and he was cnroutc to the store to perform the errand when he was robbed. The boy was swinging along nt a lively gait when he met a seedy , tramplsh-looklng fellow on the cor ner. The thug had evidently seen the boy leave the house and Judged from his ac tions that he had been sent up town to buy something , nnd by a simple process of rea soning had arrived at the conclusion that the boy might have the price of a good meal , He stopped the lad nnd ordered him to give up his money. The boy , with true American spirit , bid him to go somewhere In the vicinity of Texas. The highwayman then enforced his demand by producing n re volver and threatening to kill the boy. The boy started to run , but the highwayman seized him , throw him down and choked him until ho gave up his money. When the $ ! > bill was produced the tramp lost no time In shoving It Into his pocket and getting out of the neighborhood. A number of people - plo saw the crime committed , but as the boy was too badly frightened to call for help they paid no attention to It. It was not known until the child reached home that he had been robbed. The boy nnd sev eral of the people who saw It were able to give an excellent description of the thief. The police were notified , but not until the fellow had time to get out of the neighbor hood. The Method 1.31 bazaar opens today In the Klscmnn building.

The Evans suit against Joslah Danforth occupied the entire session yesterday In the district court. The testimony of F. II. Kvann was concluded during the morning and a largo number of affidavits were then Intro duced and read to the jury. In the morning the defendants moved for a continuance on the ground that the question of the value of the land , which figures In the case , wcs a new Issue nnd had been raised subsequent to the commencement of the suit and hence they were entitled to have time In which to secure evidence on that subject. Judge Green oveiruled the motion. Judge Orccn overruled the motion for a writ of habeas corpus In the case of L , E. Gheer , who Is In jail awaiting the Invcstlga tlon of hU case by the gram ) Jury. He was overlooked nt the last session of the grant ! jury , and It was on that ground the applica tion was made. The court held that Ghcer should be held until the next session of the Jury. The statutes provide that the Judge of the district court has the right to hold a prisoner charged with a crime even after the grand jury has decided not to re turn an Indictment against him , If In the judgment of the court there Is sufficient grounds for so doing. In the * case , of G. H. Muhlsteln against C. E. Snydcr the writ of error asked for by the defendant was deulcd and judgment for costs entered. The motion for a coat bond was overruled In the case of Thompson against Ware. The demurrer of the defendant In the case of J. C. lluahnell was overruled.

( Special Tele gram. ) In accordance with an authorized announcement of the state canvawlng board , a large number of the politicians of the state gathered hero today to bo present nt the count on the presidential electors and con gressmen. The board delayed any action until n late hour In the afternoon , and then only mot to adjourn until tomorrow morn- Ing. This started a buzz among the populists prcucnt , who declared It to bo a scheme to allow the republicans time to fix a deal , especially as It woo known that some of the republican leaders were In private conference at the time , and a rumor was In circulation that they were preparing an application for an order to prevent action on the part of the board at their meeting tomorrow. After the adjournment another conference was held by the republicans. All that could bo learned from thU was that they had decided to make no move , but to allow the count to proceed In the morning. Ono of the leading republicans of the state authorizes the etatement that nothing would bo clone to In any way hinder tho. count tomorrow , and that It would certainly proceed. No application has been made to any of the courts for orders of any kind up to this hour , and the Indications now are that all will proceed smoothly tomorrow , the count being made on both national and state officer ? . The count of national olllcers must bo made within thirty days from the date of the election , and that of state officers on the Thursday after the fourth Monday after the election. If no move Is made to morrow to delay the count , the contests , which a few dayo ago all declared them- Helves ready for , will probably bo dropped and each party rest content with the olllces which the count gives It. l-TII.I7.I3 1III.VX AS KUHXACB IT 131. .

( Special. ) The roller mill at KImball Is doing Its share toward beating the coal trust , bran Instead of coal being utilized for fuel. As Is would be impossible to feed the furnace In the ordinary way without endlcwi toil , Engineer Perkins Invented a contrivance that feeds the bran to the firebox automati cally. The Ingenious device rcqulit-s little , if any , attention. The bran comes down from n floor above the engine room In a four-Inch spout , nt which point It strikes a trough about seven inches square , open at the top , running across the ton of the boiler above the firebox. At eac'i end of ihe trough Is a three-Inch spout running down the sUe of the boiler Into , the firebox. The bran , as It enters the trough at one end , drops Into the first conductor to the firebox and the overflow Is carried across to the other conductor by a revolving screw. A cutoff at each end regulates the amount fed to the boiler. In case of u stoppage , an overflow spout drops thQ > br.ii : on lli > floor of the engine rooi(5 ( rind warns the engineer.

The subscriptions new aggregate $405,000 , without considering the sulwerlp- tlona which ore expected from the remaining ratlrc-Ada and the packing houses , and which ate estimated at $135.000 more. This , with the appropriation provided for by the last congress , puts the project on n firm financial basis , and It la the general opinion that no further time should bo I-at. The general plan of action will not bo determined on until the. new directory Is convened , but It Is expected that the various departments will bo organized at once and Increased as maybe bo found necessary as the work advances. President Wattles of the old directory Is of the opinion that the best results will be secured by leaving the bulk of the active w , rk to on executive committee of live mem bers. He proposed that the organization bo divided Into probably five departments and make one member of the executive com mittee the head of each department. In hlq opinion the full directory would be too unwieldy a body to transact the business cf the association successfully and should only bo utilized ns a sort of advisory board , leaving the execution of the plans decided on to bo carried on by the executive com mittee. The members of this committee should bo men who would be able to meet at least once a day and devote their wlrlc tlmo to the work during the next two years. Mr" Wattles Is of the opinion that the new directory will bo called together at the earliest possible date after the result of the election Is positively known. That will probably bo this afternoon or evening. ICXK.HTS KKKK IlKI.HSIorS ADVICH. Hi-v. .1. AV.K | T of Jlnrliiu to I'ronoh to Followers of SIIIIINOII. Rev. Jolin Wesley Oelger of Marlon. la. , will address 'n ' n religious way a specially Invited audience In Iloyd's theater on Sun day , December 13 , under the auspices of the Knights of Ak-Sar-tien. It Is hinted that this religious service will be In the nature of a counterbalance for the society circus of next week , which Is to be as warm as the hottest show that ever struck town. A committee of the knights wrestled long and hard last night In the parlors of the Commercial club over the matter. It was very apparent that the members were more familiar with the mysteries of the Den than of conducting a religious meeting a la mode , but they managed to. map out the general outline without losing a feather. The details were left to a few church members of the knights who were placed on subcommittees. It was determined , however , that a large number of special Invitations should be Is sued for the service and that a reserved sec tion of the house should bo set aside for the holders until a certain hour. An exception ally fine musical program will be arranged as a concomitant for the sermon and the house will be decorated In an appropriate manner- with flowers. A corps of fifteen ushers will be In service. The minor details have been left to a committee on arrangements , which will meet at the Commercial club tonight. Ilev. Geiger is a fine speaker and Is also ono of the knights. He has appeared at the Den on several occasions during the past year and quite captivated the brotherhood. W. U.

Humane Soi-li-ty to Ask T.i-KlNliitloii In Thrlr Il.-lilllf. The officers of the Nebraska Humane soci ety met last night In the Commercial Na tional bank parlors for the purpose of drawIng - Ing up a bill to bo presented to the next legislature , looking toward the protection of children who are abused and Ill-treated by their parents or guardians. The necessity for such a law was emphasized by several cases of cruelty to children that have oc curred lately. The statutes contain 110 pro visions covering such cases. A draft of a bill was presented to the meeting , providing for the punishment , either by a fine of not more than $200 or Imprisonment for not moro than six months , of persons or parents having the custody of children under 14 years of ago who Ill- treat them In the following manner : lly wilfully abandoning them , by cruelly or un lawfully punishing them , by depriving them of food , clothing or shelter , by causing or permitting their lives to be endangered or their health Injured , by causing or allowing them to bo overworked , cruelly beaten , tor tured , tormented or mutilated. The bill also gives any legally Incorporated huniano society the power to become the guardian of minor children. It also gives power to county Judges to place under the control of the society any child under 14 years of ago who by orphanage or by the neglect , drunkenness or other vice of Its parents Is growing up In Ignorance or In circumstances through which It may be led to a dissolute and vicious life. This bill will bo given to the Douglas county delegation to be brought before the legislature. A committee may bo sent to Lincoln to work In Its behalf. STOCK MKX HTTIXJ XHHVOU8. Krnr Tlity AVI11 Him Out of Kccil Ilc- fiiro S prill K. Cattle In the range country are beginning to get a llttlo nervous In regard to the prospects. In speaking of the situation Matt Uaugherty of Ogallala said : "Of course , a storm such as wo had during the past week does not do the damage It used to In the old days when cattle were expected to rustle their living throughout the winter , and very little. If any , shelter was provided for them. The direct damage to stock from the storm will not bo great If the remainder of the winter should be favorable , In the old days It would have been llttlo less than a calamity , for the feed on the range is now nil covered with Ice and cattle can rustle nothing. What cattlemen are fearful of Is that they will run out of feed before spring , and there Is llttlo doubt but that many of them will. There Is a largo quantity of feed put up this year more , In fact , than common but the winter has act In so much earlier that It will require a great quantity In excess of the amount generally consumed , Desldo the last storm there was a heavy fall of snow gomo tlmo ago , and most of the cattle have been unable - able to get anything off of the range for about a month now. Should the remainder of the winter continue as It has started out there will In all probability bo considerable loss among stock , and this will be greater the farther Into the range country you go , as the owners do not put up as much feed us they do further cast , for the very good rea son that they do not have U to put up.

Those present were : Councllmrn Saundera , Tay lor , Hascall , Wheeler and Allan , City At torney Council , Deputy City Clerk Hoi- brook , Ucprcspntntlvos-clcct lM on Hlch , John Duller , John Steel of the Commercial club and Theodore Olsen. The work was taken up at section Cfl of the charter , being the section relating to the bonded Indebtedness of the city , but the discussion drifted at once on to the single assessor plan. Wheeler Insisted that a single assessor for all city propcity was the only solution of the question , and that It was useless to work on a new charter unless this scheme was Incorporated Into It. H'asrall reiterated the plan he suggested at the last meeting , that the matter be made the subject of a separate bill. After halt au hour of desultory discussion the section relating to bunds was taken up. After a lengthy discussion U was de cided that the section should be amended to provide for bonds for a city Jail and fen the Issue of refunding or renewal bonds , the sense of the meeting being that the floating Indebtedness of the city , such ai the $50,000 deficiency In the lighting fund , $ CO,000 In the water fund , $50000 in the street rep.ilr fund and numerous other ortnm'fl , should be taken up by Issuing bonds nt a low rate of Interest , Instead of allowing the outstanding warrants to draw 7 per cent Interest. The matter was re ferred to the city attorney and Major Wheeler to prepare a new section. The repaying problem was discussed nt length , but was finally referred to a com mittee consisting of Mwsrs. Hnscall , Saun- dcrs and Steel. The meeting adfourncd until Saturday at 2:30 : p. in. Flnucrs Nlrliii-il | | of I'l v Ii. Last Monday Jacob Kopp of the Kopp- Drclbus company was engaged about a ma chine In his cstahllahmcut at 1.11G Jones street and four fingers or one of his hands were caught In the machinery. The flesh was torn off the two middle fingers from the tcrand Joint to the tips , but the Injury , while painful , Is not serious. Sickness is a burglar who is continually trying to break into human life. His most usual tool is constipation. This one , seem ingly unimportant thing is the jirimniy cause of nine-tenths of all human mlmcnts. When the bowels fail to act , impure , poiion- ou- matter is retained in the system , is ab sorbed by the blood , and carried to every part of the body. All the digestive organs arc affected , and particularly the largest and most important of them the liver. Con stipation causes biliousness nnd bilioup headaches ; retards digestion in the slomncl.1 causing fermentation sour stomach , flatu lency , and fe-vcrishncss , n feeling of full , ness , heart-burn , nnd other disagreeable symptoms. Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They afford immediate relief , but it is not merely n temporary re lief. You do not become n slave to the use of the " Pellets. " They graduallyrestore , the healthy , natural action of the digestive 'organs and you may slop using them until some indiscretion in eating again makes them necessary. Doctors are supposed to know more about health and sickness than anybody else , and when the doctor comes , the first thing he does is to find out if the bowels are in good order. "A Word to thcV/l > e is Sufficient. " The more one knows ntiout health nnd disease , the easier it Is for him to be healthy.
