WUhelm Goblns, a sugar chemist, is in
New Orleans on a little trip of 25.000 miles
to claim his bride, a Dutch lass, who Is
now under her father's roof In the old
country, but who. If everything goes well
with Goblns, will, in a month's time, be on
the high seaa with him speeding to their
home in Honolulu.
Tha trip, equal in length to the circum
ference of tha globe, is being taken. Goblns
says his prospective father - in law
would not permit his laughter to do so
undemocratic a thing as to go from her
home in Holland to the Hawaiian islands
to marry him there, and It waa with the
greatest difficulty that the father could
be persuaded to allow her to go even if
Goblns want for her.
The marriage of tha couple will be the
culmination of a romance that began In
The Netherlands home eight years ago. De
termined to win the daughter of the rich
beet sugar refiner, for whom he worked,
Goblns resigned his position there and emi
grated to Hawaii. There he got a position
and became finally a sugar chemist
After many ups and downs be found his
ruture secure, and then he returned to
Holland to claim tha girl.
nui me stern- lamer intervened. In no
circumstances, he said, would he permit
his daughter to go to such a far-away place
as Honolulu. Much to his dismay Goblns
waa compelled to rsturn to Hawaii without
her.
What Goblns had failed to. accomplish
while in Holland waa accomplished by his
absence, and it waa not long before ha re
ceived a letter telling him that parental
objections had been withdrawn after the
greatest difficulty and his bride-to-be waa
ready for him to come for her.
Goblns then suggested that she coma to
him. but this waa the limit for father, who
wrote Goblns that if the young lady
not wortn coming for she was not worth
having. Goblns cabled an aawer to that
letter and started at once.

Harry Tagg and family arrived In South
Omaha from their farm In Greeley county
Thursday night. They have been spending
a month or more on the farm. Friday
night, while getting settled, tha family ate
some csnned salmon, and all were stricken
with ptomaine poisoning. Mrs. Tagg and
one of the children are still seriously ill.
Mr. Tagg and his son, who were also sick,
are out of danger. It was unusual for the
family to eat salmon, but it was used as
an expedient. It appeared all right, but
all began to feel the effects half an hour
after eating. The timely calling of the
doctor was looked upon as saving the life
of the mother and daughter. W. B. Tagg,
brother of Harry Tagg, also ate of the
same salmon, but It had no apparent effect
on him.
Mrs. W. Tagg of Waco, Neb., arrived
last night. 6he Is mother to the three
Tagg brothers, who are residents of South
Omaha. She knew nothing of the poisoning
before her arrival, coming here on a short
visit. If the family are fully recovered by
Monday she will continue her visit to New
Tork.
Foot Crashed br Car a.
Frank TJher, a Bohemian, had his foot
crushed between the bumpers of a freight
train last night at 7:30 o'clock. He, with
a large number of other people, were wait
ing for the Missouri Pacific train to get
ff the crossing at Twenty-sixth and Q
treets. The train was moving slowly and
he started to climb through. The engineer
slacked the cars to get a start, and the re-
olt caught the man's foot between the
bumpers. It was held fast and badly
crushed. He shouted for help and John
Fennel, who happened to be close behind
him, caught him and kept him from falling
under the wheels. It is thought that tho
foot was only fractured and that It will
not have to be amputated. He lives at
Seventeenth and William, Omaha.
The Brewer ambulance was called and
he was taken to the South Omaha hospital.
This is the third serious accident which
has occurred under the Q street viaduct
since the contractors began the reconstruc
tion work. This compels all pedestrians and
vehicles to cross over on the tracks from
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh.
Y. M. C. A. Defeats Country Club.
The Young Men's Christian association
base ball team defeated the South Omaha
Country club at the club grounds Saturday
afternoon by a score of 14 to 6. The South
Omaha Country club played good ball
through six Innings and then went up in
the air. In the seventh the winners started
out with Hydock at the bat, He batted out
fairly easy one, but made first. Williams
helped him along to second on an error by
Talbot. Smith made another advance by
getting hit. McHale made a short hit, just
over the pitcher's head. Three men tried
for it but failed, and In trying to nail
the man at the plate threw the ball away.
All four runs came in on the throw, and
the rest of the game was horse play. In
the ninth the association got four more
runs. There waa considerable wrangling
over tha umpire's decisions. Score:

THE ALCOHOL in beer is a trifle only Vz per cent.
The effective ingredients are barley and hops a food and a
tonic. Pure beer is both good and good for you.
In Germany, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and Austria
beer is the national beverage. Nearly all people, of all ages,
drink it.
And all the world envies their sturdy strength.
Every doctor knows how beer benefits. If you need
more strength or vitality he will prescribe it.
But be careful to choose a pure beer, else you get harm
with the good. And select a beer well aged to avoid biliousness.
The way to be sure is to order Schlitz. We go to
extremes in cleanliness. We even filter the air that cools it.
We age it for months. We sterilize every bottle.
Schlitz has no after effects.

No Kxprnse Snared In the Chase and
Not Much Rest I ntll Shackles Are
on tbe Quarry Some Mov
ing: Incidents,
The federal service of tne United States,
In its myriad departments, develops day
by day a world of character and of Incident.
It is easy to account for this. The system
Is like a locomotive with a schedule run
ahead of it. Jt keeps a-golng. Nothing
short of absolute results are accepted. A
chase where the pursuers have the au
thority and facilities to continue to the
death Is hound to e interesting and per
haps painful. The county sheriff Is always
worried about his fees whr. hunting a
fugitive. If he takes a false scent he pays
for the mistake .out of his own pocket.
The government emissary is not ham
pered that way. Uncle Bam Is behind him
with his strong chest; he demands of his
servants ceaseless toll till his journey ends
with the shackles around the quarry, and
when that Is accomplished he doesn't growl
over the expense.
Moonshiner Went "De Fnncte."
There's a story of the service that a
revenue agent wired from a station in the
Tennessee mountains that Bent Elverson, a
daring moonshiner, "had gone De Functe."
Whether the orthography was that of the
agent or the operator matters not; Wash
ington looked up the geogrsphy, decided
that It was in Qaul, and instructed the
sender to hold his ' ground and It would
secure French extradition papers.
In 18S4 John R. Casnn, an agent under
Dan Mc8weeney, chief of the Washington
department, Joined the Boss Ruck gang
of counterfeiters, operating about Edens
burg, Pa., and remained with them nearly a
year before he secured the evidence neces
sary to convict every one ofthe band, which
was scattered over several counties.
A lieutenant of the boss was an Influ
ential member of the church, and his
daughter, who did not dream her pious
dad got the money for her gowns by
making the "queer," sung in tne choir.
The agent was a good barytone warbler,
and he was soon raising his voire along
side that of Miss Daisy's, and later he
became engaged to her. Cason always
carried about him a letter purporting to
be from his sister, who begged him to
gtve up his wicked ways and become a
law-abiding man. This saved his life on
one occasion. Three of the counterfeiters
ambushed him and with revolvers at the
agent's head demanded the privilege of
searching him. They read that letter and
concluded he must be all right, which
through the law's eyes would mean "all
wrong." When Cason and McSweeney
finally made their debut in court with
Boss Buck and his clan, the defendants
were tremendously aggrived at the con
duct of the recruit, but Miss Daisy, whose
papa was there In irons, took it the
hardest.
"I never would ha, thought you gullly
of such meanness, 8am," she said with
tearful eyes, addressing her fiance; "you
could sing so beautiful."
A few years ago William J. Reed, post
office Inspector, with headquarters at 8t.
Louis, stalked Into th. poatofflc. of an
Arkansas hamlet unannounced. It was his
first visit to th. plac and when h. x
platned who he was th. postmaster ex
tended a warm hsnd.
"CilaJ tu ie luu." be .aid. "Been look
ing for you for some time. Here's the
money and thar's the books. Excuse me
for a minute while I go out to get a drink."
The Inspector suggested It would be bet
ter If he would remain while he ran over
the books. He did this, figured how many
stamps hsd been ordered, how many on
hand, and then estimated how much money
there ought to be.
"It's all thar right In that sack," said
the postmaster, nervously.
"Great Scott!" he exclaimed. "Where
the blazes did you get all them pennies.'"
"Took 'em In; ain't they- good?" asked
the postmaster.
There was nothing but pennies, over a
quart of 'cm. The Inspector began count
ing, not observing the postmaster edging
toward the door. Next minute he heard
the door shut and the postmaster waa
gone. The Inspector took out after him,
and after a half mile chase caught him.
"What you running for?" demanded the
Inspector.
"Tou ain't got no right to arrest me till
you count up and find out whether I'm
short or not," said the postmaster.
"Are you short?"
The man trembled a bit and then broke
down.
"Yes," he said, "I've been borrowing
stealing money from the government for a
year. I got to speculating, and went on
deeper and deeper, always thinking I
could pay back before you came. At last
I saw I couldn't do It, and I got them pen
nies so as to skip out while you was
i-ountln" 'em." .
He Wii flO Short In HI Acconnts.
"How much are you behind?"
"Well, sir," said the postmaster, miser
ably, "the first of last month It was 15, and
since then I've blowcd In another fa. It's
fully $10."
The Inspector laughed, and yet he knew
It was a serious matter, and that the man
would have to Le reported the fimo a
If he had stolen Jl.oon. Ho was removed
from office and a small fine Imposed.
By chance one day It reached the de
partment that a veteran of tha Forty
second Missouri, drawing a lnrge pension
for catarrhal opththalmia (an affliction
of th. eyes), had been suffering from the
malady before he entered the army. When
the government turned Its hunters loose
on the case In 1890 this man had drawn
IIO.OOO in pension money. The humeri
proceeded without pity. The pensioner
was totally blind. Tha federal emissaries
discovered an army jf people who hal
known the soldier before his service, and
who would testify that his eyes were
sore before the war, and that the sume
weakness was a characteristic of the
oilier members of Ihe family. The old
peneioner had a well-to-do brother in
Chicago, who came to his rescue. Skilled
attorneys were hired, reliable witnesses
secured, and everything poenlble was done
to save the blind man his pension, but
tha Pension department agents had built
an Impregnable case. The action went
agalnct the pensioner in the federal cir
cuit court and in the appelate court,
and the government gut its money back
to the last farthing. l' Is yet aiive,
totally blind, and subsisting upon the
bounty of relatit, without which ho
would be In the poor house.
Hetnrned Tension 1 Declared Iaaaae.
The pension office not long ago had oc
casion to investigate a curious caa. that
developed up in Schuyler county. Frederick
Nyswander, a man whose war record
seemed straight, had gone to a lawyer and
asked him to draw up a will providing for
the return of all his pension money at
that time about JS.lOu to th. government
on his death. The lawyer told th. pen
sioner that if he had drawn th. money
illegally ho ought to return it, and that If
he had been fair in the recital of ills in
juries there was no obligation to pay th
money back. But the pensioner as de
termined, and h. got sjiotLir lawyer to
draw up the will as he wanted It, providing
for th. reimbursement. The department In
vestigated the case, but; found the record
of service and injury as straight as a file.
However, the heirs had no trouble In hav
ing the will set aside, on the ground of
the testator's mental incapacity. No man
in his right mind would want to return
pension money, Ihe jury said by its verdict.
United States Marshal W. J. Daugherty
had captured In Missouri n negro who was
wanted In the Indian Territory for murder.
The negro had been "turned up" by a
chum for the reward, but the prisoner was
as vehement in denying the identity as the
informer was in trying to eBtabllvh It. On
the question of veracity one negro's evi
dence was as good as the other's, and the
attorneys and state officers tried to help
the marshal out by asking all sorts of
questions of the suspect, but he held his
ground unshaken. He was not Will Fran
cis, never killed a man In his life and
didn't know there "was such a town ns
Injun Territory." Finally a gentleman, who
who had been a planter and had owned
slaves before the war, dropped in and ob
served the .difficulty. He searched nround
the offices In the building for a Hlblo, but
the clerks were not devout. In 01. e room,
however, the planter found a black-bound
coal mine report, - which he borrowed.
"My friend," ho said to. the prisoner, "do
you know what will happen to you If you
lie with your hand on this book?"
"Ain't gwlne ter tech dat book,' re
turned the negro, stubbornly.
"I,ay your hand on this book and tell tha
officer you aren't the man and I'll sea that
ha lets you go," said the planter, gravely,
as he held out the formidable looking
volume of bituminous literature.
"Ah don't hab ter do-no sich thing, an'
yer can't make me," said the negro.
The planter smiled and glanced at th.
marshal.
"I guess I'll tske him." said th. officer.

he was the man wanted. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
