A -Remarkable Escafie From Grim Death, Whose Jaws Were Nailed Together, A Man Aremarkable escape from death wasSat- uaday experienced by a youngman named ©. M. Gappner, who is a painter in the employ of Kosters & Son. He was at work spreading canvas on the ceiling of their store room in Cald- well block, when the scaffolding on which he stood broke. He had [the canvas 1n his hands, and his mouth full of tacks. ~ As he fell he caught on the edge of the soaffolding by his lower jaw, and then swung around and fell to the floor, a distance of about 12 feet. In catehing on the boards he tore a lorrible gash in his neck, an inch and a half long. The tacks in his mouth were driven into the roof and lower part of his mouth, literally nailing his jaws rether, so that he was unable to open |them. Had the corner on which [ hio struck been sharp he would have un- | doubtedly been beheaded but as 1t was he had & miraculous escape. Ho was taken to Dr. Gry 1 who dressed his wounds. The Children of the Omaha City Mis- sion Picnic at Hanscom Park, Friday tho Omaha city mission held their annual picnic at Hanscom park. This Sunday school, as is well known, is located on 10th street and mostly com- posed of the children of poverty and oftentimes of vice. Its object is to raise these poor little ones into a higher and better life, and by the sweet and good influences of this school send them out into the world to places of honor and trust. It has in the past cight years of its existence been wondrously success- ful, and has now under its ennobling in- fluence nearly three hundred children, Every year their teachers give a picnic for the children, and Friday three large street cars packed to their utmost capacity with youngsters protruding from all windows and almost miraculously clinging to the sides and platforms started to the park. Any one to have seen their happy faces and sparkling eyes, and heard their joyous shouts of laughter and glee, need not have been told they were enjoying the day infinitely. WHAT A TREAT it is to these little folks,many coming out of hot, dusty,unhealthy homes to breathe the pure fresh air and romp and play in the beautiful grassy slopes of our lovely park. And then they were to have, as one of the little gamins suid, a square meal, of sandwiches, cake, pie, apples, lemonade, and two freezers of ice cream. If they should in the future all be Goulds or Vanderbilts, no pleasure will seem quite so complote as this days picnic and feasting. The public show their great ap- tion of their efforts by assisting the school in eyery way. Many sent gener- ous provision Friday and to them the school workers wish to return thanks, Mr. Warren Switzler is the eflicient su- perintendent, assisted by Messrs Allen, Reynolds and Charlton, officers,and Mes- dames Jardine, Elliot, Jones, Switzler, and Misses Merrill, Woodman and others as able and patient teachers. These all Jabored tomake the picnic enjoyable,and the blessings of many happy hearts must have gladdened their dreams Friday night, o — A Happy Famuly.

The siccess attending the average Omaha business man is, in many instan- ces, astonishing. The facts, however, when once learned are simple and easily understood. Take for instance the suc- cess of William Snyder as a carrigo ma- ker and it will be found that superior wormanship, artistic taste and general satisfaction have established his business on the footing where it now stands. Ev ery week Mr. Snyder turns out a num- ber of his fine vehicles and is known to have the cream of the trade in his line. Among his latest orders was o dainty but substantial ‘‘one man” light weight buggy for Dr. V., H. Coffman. The bug- gy weighs only 108 pounds, has a stick seat, crimson plush cushions and is painted carmine red with gold stripes and finish, This is pronounced by Mr, Snfl derone of the finest vehicles at his estab- lishment and has no equal in the west. e —— THE JERSEY WAIST. A Girl With Small Arms Thinks of a Better Use for It, Telephone conversation overheard at Tue Bre office when calling for connec- tions this Saturday: “Have you seen the last Harper's Bazar?" *No." “Well, it shows a pattern with the sleeves made large now, oh, ever so large,” ““Then we'll have to give up our Jer- seys right away, won't we?” *Yes, I'm going to take this waist off right now. |Laughter.] But say—" ““What?" *“Isn’t the Jersey sleeve lovely though, over a pretty arm{”’ ‘*Yes,” mournfully, “‘but my arm isn't large enough. It would look better on my—" Just bere the connection was made and the astonished reporter did not learn what the texture of the Jersey would look bet- ter on, —— BAGGED A BAG. And Will Live on Bread and Water Thirty Days fer It. Friday afternoon a man by the name of Frauk Wilson stole a satchel from Dr. Wilberger's oflice nearthe depot on Tenth street, but before he could get far the doctor overtook him and turned him over tothopolice. Hewas sent upSaturday by Judge Anderson for thirty days on bread and water, Patrick rgerald, for disturbing the peace, was fined five doliars, Paid Mike Gilligan was arrested last night by officer Lane, for beating Mollio Ker- nan, He knocked the officer down on { his knees, by a well directed blow, but Mr. Lane got his blood up and was about to end Mike's existence when he discovered that he had dropped his pistol onthe sidewalk in the courso of the tussle. Otherwise there would be an obituary for the newspapers to-day. Mike was up before Judge Anderson this morning,and was sent up for 30 days, Ho says this will keep him from attending the state fair, and that he has been in the same fixin that respect ever since they began holding state fairs in Omaha, | — “Dend Among Strangers.” To the Editor of Tir Bee, My attention has been ealled to an ar- ticle, in your Thursday's issue, “Dead Among Strangers,” which tremely malicious, and intended to in- headed is ex jure the undersigned. The facts are simply these: 1 was | hurrying along the main street of Red | Cloud, with my sample caso in hand, when I was approached by a stranger (I don’t know his name), who said, ‘‘We want another pall bearer for the traveli man that died last night, we have five.' I said that “‘five were enough, and that it would be hypocritical on my part to | assist in a ceremony that I did not be lieve in,” T said further that, *‘1 would travel hundreds of miles to assist a live traveling man, but I did not believe in forms and ceremonies over a dead body, and that an ounce of kindness during life was better than a whole ton after death.” As no more was said, and no one else spoke to me on the subject, it is very strange that six men should affirm that they are witnesses to the statement made, and none of them on the same stroet. What does itamount to? Merely this: That each of these men took hold of one handle of a light coftin and carried it ten steps, while I did not(?) Am I to bo in- sulted because I did not play the part of a hypoerite? His employer was there, the hearse and undertaker were there, the liotel people were paid for their services, and dozens of men stood idly looking on surely enough of then to perform their own ceremonies, 1 think I can prove that T have watch- ed by the sick bed of travelling m more uights and days than all those six men_ together, and would do as much for afellow traveler as any man in the world. Their letter says, ‘‘He had no friends within a_theusand miles to care for his remains,” when his employer came from Omaha for that very purpose, and con- ducted the funeral. Their letter advises the “‘fraternity not to associate with any one so devoid of principle,” ete. What is principle? Did they ever hear mo utter vile oaths, tell filthy stories, malign another’s char- acter, or commit one ungentlemanly act? 1 have had a number of traveling men in my employ and treated them better than T was ever treated myself, and if one of them had died away from home, expressing a wish to be buried m the east, this man did, I would have con veyed him there, instead of ng, “‘he did not have enough money coming to him,” 1 heard one gentleman say on r their letcer, “why, they must be cr Another added, “I guess they advertise themselves as pall bearers. I believe that I can associate with any one I desire to as long as I live, and wish no forms or ceremonics over my body when life has departed, My motto is to use others as 1 desire them to use me.

B — THE WAKENING AT WAVERLY.

T The boiler, Waver- The report was ter- weighing botween three and four tons, was blown a distance | of more than a block down the stroet. It narrowly missed a man in its course and passed within a fow feot of sovoral buildings. The engine houso was shat- tored and large timbers thrown at con- sidorablo distance, Tho engincer and firoman had just loft the boiler room or their death would have been certain. Fortunately nearly overy one was at breakfast at the time of the oxplosion or many might have been seriously injured if not killad by the falling dobris. As it was, only one man was slightly wounded in the hand. Tho boiler was an old one, having been in use some time and had grown thin from rust, AN ELECTRIC FREAK. During the recent thunder storm which passod over Elkhorn City, a young lady, Tiss Wilkinson, was struck by lightning on the head. The course of the electricity could bo traced by the burned and black- aned path it had Joft bohind. - It burned the hair and scalp, and passed over the back of the head to the neck and divided, a part going around each side and uniting again m front, It melted her corset steel, burning her breast torribly, and then’ passed downward until it camo to hor garter, whero it burned a streak on- tirely around her limb. After that it contented itself by tearing her gaiter from her foot and hurling it a considerablo dis- tance. The strangest part of it all was thatthogirl, though rendered unconscious, was not killed. Sho has partially recov- ered from the terrible shock, and will be out again as soon as the burns can be cured up.

[Signed] F. S." Burnetto Miss Burnette, Miss Baldwin and J. R. Paddock INDIAN PECULIARITIFK The Laws of the Gens in Indian So- ciety. At the recent annual session of the National Science association, M. C. A, Fletcher read the following paper on the laws and privileges of the gens in Indian society: The work of placing the Omaha tribe of Indians upon the lands in severalty and adjusting thé line of descent and in- heritance according to the white law, has afforded me an cpportunity for close ob- servation of the gontal system and the tenacity of certain customs. A child who has lost its father or mother is considered an orphan, Its particular placeis gone, and it passes into the gens, If it is the father who has died, unless the child is quite young, it is separated from its mother and gathered into the family of one of the father's relatives. The mother generally marries again, in & year or two, the children of her first husband are sep- arated from her, and she bears a second family to the sccond husband. I have met instances where a woman has had three and even four sets of children, To the casual observer it would seem ag though the mother had entirely for gotten each little brood soon after the father's death; but closer cbservation and acquaintance prove this untrue. The mother does not forget, but so in- bred is the gens law in her life and thought that she never questions the right of being bereft of her offspring by che relatives of the father. Hero and there appear strong charactors, women who will not part with their maternal rights, and widows who remain singlo all their lives, but evon these exceptions do not startle anyone into contemplating this custom so deep laid in Inian society. In grouping the people by their gens and into families, I have found men claim- ing children not of their own body, and with no idea of cheating, but because of this custom of the gons of distributing among families the fatherless or motherless ones, In ex- plaining the rights of a child to its par- ents’ care,and particularly in maintaning the mother’s right to her child, I am met with astonishment and indignation. Has she nol married agam? is the supposed unanswerable reply to my inquiry that nothing can cancel the tie of birth, 1 have found no point of white law of in- The Doctor’s Mistake. One of the old mistakes of the profession was to think that there were no other ways of curing dis- case except those which had been handed down from former times. It is not to be denied that the Doctors have done great things for the world. But when it comes right down to the real curing of disease, it must be admitted that Brown's Iron Bitters has done enough to earn the generous gratitude of this whole present generation, including the medical profession. There are no mysteries or secrets about the compounding of Brown’s Iron Bit- ters. This preparation of iron is the only preparation which will not in. iurc teeth or stomach. In this it is beyond comparison better than the other preparations, which are mis- chievous and injurious. You need not fear a mistake in trying Brown’s Iron Bitters. Yous druggist has it. It gi vigor to the feeble, and new life to the dys- peptic. Children take it, not only with safety, but with great advan. tage. 6 heritance so difficult 8o make clear to the Indian wmind as the inalienablo right of a child to its living parent, This difficulty how far the family be said to exist 1t appeus to be well proven that whether the gens goes with the father or mother, the right of a parent is secondary to the gens even in the disoosal of the «child. It is of common occurrence not to be able to sccure the mother's name from a grown man when she died in infaney or early childhood. No trace remains of the dead mother. The same may be said of the father’'s name under similar cir- cumstances, though this is loss common. Among the more progressive of the Omaha this old custom suffors some abatement, but not a great deal. In the caso of a father’s death it would not be considered so much the duty of the mother to work for her children as fox the relatives of the father to relieve her A o social unit, can in gental society. of the burden of the little ones. Just here I would mention as possibly connocted with this ig- norance of the bond between arent and child the lack of strong family ikeness among the Indians, Somotimes one sees striking resemblance between father and mother and child, but the broad family likeness noticed among the whites, which extends to cousing and even remoter kin, is wanting among full- blooded Indians. The mixed bloods form a marked contrast in this respect, and it would seem that as soon as their isan infusion of white blood, a family type is at once introduced. I have notic- ed that members of the samo gens are apt to group togother and become neigh- bors in picking out their alottments, but this, of course, does mnot hold strictly, Young men whose mothers are of the same gens are brothers to each other, but brothers of the mothers are uncles. Botween uncles and nephews and nicces there exists a peculiar rela- tion. All manner of practical jokes can be played between the two, and a license of specch permitted quito out of keeping with the ordmary mode of conversation. Many a keen chafling 1 have listened to, and wondered at the endurance of either party, but should any one betray anger under the ordeal he would becoms a laughing stock, the worst fate thatcanbe- fall an Indian. There are other mirth provoking opportunities afforded by the peculiar symbols and observances of dif- foront gens. 1f the mosquitoes are trou- blesome, and one longs for the dis- persing breeze, some one may say, ‘‘Run, catch o Kansa and beat him with your blankets.” If a member of the Kansa gens is beaten with blankets, the wind is liable to rise. A subdivision of the Tha-la-de-gens, or Ketre Tuille cut the shape of a tuille in the ground, hol- lowing it out an inch doep, This they fill with water, and rain follows. These and other peculiarities gave chance for the play of practical and other jokes, or to paint some_ tale er add zest ‘rhen somo ono is laughing off the pocu- liavities of a person or a group among the tribe. A MISSOURI BOTTLE, The Supposcd Fate of Four Men frof Harlan, lowa, Blair (Neb.) Pilot, Mr. Ralf Hacknoy, who lives up on the river bottom, near McKercher's ferry, handed us somo slips of paper the other day, which he says his son found in a bot- tle floating down the Missouri river. There are threo square cut pieces of manilla about 3x4 inches square, and a pieco of about two-thirds of a sheet of note paper. Upon the slip of note paper is written with pen and ink, in a goob busi- ness like hand, the following: ‘‘May 10, 1883. “‘Wo take this method of informing the world that we are in constant danger. Should we never be heard from the finder hereof will publish this note.” “‘Upper Dakota, north of Pierre. We are from Harlan, lowa, and are Thos, Ledwich, C. J, Wyland, E. B. Moore and G, W, Cullison,"” The latter portion of this, or the “note,” is written with an indelible pen- cil. The sheets of manilla also contain writing with indelible pencil—some of it having been wet and consequently ille- gible. On one of these sheets, or slips, is writton: “OUR LAST PRAYER.” “Vouchsafe Thine aid, all-mighty Father of the Universe, at this, our lust meeting on earth,"” This may be what it purports to be, or it may be the work of some person who has just little sense enough to think that ikt.w(l)uhl be cunning to do a thing of this ind, A e On the Tyeo mountain, Douglas county, Southern Oregon, is & nat bridge, with & sandatono foundation, and covered with forest trees, A large crook runs under it The span in from cighty to one hundred and twenty feet above the water, .
