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 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.

the defendant was deulcd and judgment for

DES MOINES , Dec. 2. ( Special Tele
gram. ) U was discovered today that a large
part of the original records relating to the
work of the state senate last winter In the
direction of revising the code of the etato
cannot be found. Different parts of the
present code were Introduced In the form of
hills ami referred to different committees.
Some of the bills made material advance
ment before the close of the session and
wcro reported with amendments for passage.
It Is found that so many of the committees'
and other records are missing that the work
will all have to bo done over. It Is feared
that the delay will prevent the completion
of the code nt the. special session called for
that purpose. The exact nature of the miss
ing records nnd the persons resjionslh'o ' Tor
their absence are not known. Secretary of
Stale McFarland. who made the discovery
declines to talk tonight further than to ad
mit that the work of the senate during
nearly all of the last session has been sacri

PIERRE. S. D. , Dec. 2. ( 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.

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 contrivance' holds the steam
gauge to c.ighty pounds f hours ut a time

Lnst night the judges and clerks of the
Transmlsslnslppl Ku > oslllon election for di
rectors finished entering the voting on the
tally sheets , but did not make thefootings. .
U was nearly midnight when the work of en-
torlng was completed and the task of adding
up the vote for the Individuals was deferred
until today. Enough Is shown by the count
so far as It has gone to make certain that
Hon. OeorgpV. . LlnlnRer has been elected
as one of Iho directors , and there Is n possi
bility that Hon. Thomns Hector has also
been chosen. These men were voted for
very extensively , Mr. Llnlnger getting many
moro voles than Mr. Hoctor. Two of the
candidates on the big llckct may be beaten ;
ono certainly will. Just which oivn i will
bo dropped cannot bi told until the vote-
Is tabulated , as the scratching was very gen
eral and several fell far behind.
It Is the Intention of the directors to
proceed at once with the organization of the
exposition directory when the count la com
pleted. 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.

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. Hennctt a few Oaj-B ago Invited him
to preach In this city and ho accepted the
Invitation. In order. , to make him feel at
homo the preachers In the city of nil denom
inations are to bo Invited to attend.

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.

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.

The city council charter committee held
a session last night In the city hall. 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.

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. Knowledge
of some of the simpler laws of health Is of the ut-
