The Mysterious Throat Vail Cutting at A few days ago it was announced ir Tue Bee that Joseph Pachta, Jr., oldest son of Joseph Pachta, a well to do Bo hemian farmer, in Milford township, Crawford county, had been found lying dead on his farm, with his throat cut. Further details make it a matter in doubt as to whether it was a case of suicide or murder. The last seen of him alive was when he left the house shortly after noon, saying he was going over to see some of hisneighbors. Not roturning that evening, search was made, but it was not until the next day about noon that his body was found in the field be- side o strawstack some distance from the house. There was a small gash in his throat, and seveval cuts on each side of his neck, but very slight ones. His own pocket knife was under him, between the should- ers, and his handkerchsef, torn in two pieces, and two knots tied in one piece, was found beside him. It was bloody, as were also his hands, He was about 33 years of age, and had a wifo and two little children. There soems no possiblo reason to lead him to suicide, as his relationships were pleas- ant and his circumstances and prospects good. On the other hand, there was nothing found indicating that any one had assaulted him, and his body bore no ather marks of violence than those stated, The coroner’s jury simply found that he came to his death from strangulation caused by an incision in the throat, made hy a knife in the hands of an unknbwn i No_safer remedy can be had for Coughs and Colds, or any troubla of the Throat, than “PBrown's Bronchial T'roches.” Price 25 cents.

A Youthful Crook Trics to Pass o Forged Note, A young man, almost a boy, and a pretty good mate for the young fellow just convicted here for forgery, is now lying in_ jail at Glonwood under a like charge. 1t appears that he went into Chase’s bank at Emerson and asked the cashier if the bank ever hoaght notes, and on receiving an aflirmative answer, presented a note for §26 purporting to bo signed by John Jones and John Rocka. fellow, the latter a farmer living near Emerson, The cashier recognizing that it was a forgery, held the note whilo ho sent the young fellow out to get some one to identify him. The fellow being a stranger, of course could find 1o friend, and instead of returning to the bank, at: tempted to take o froight train, when ho was arrosted, Heo claims that he worked for Rockafollow, and that the amount was duo_him for work dono two years ago, but Mr. Rockafellow asserts that tho follow never worked for him and in fact he nover saw him before.

He reports Cald- well ag a very fine town with many en- terprising business houses and a news- paper, “The Tribune,” edited by W. J. Cuddy, formerly of Omaha, who is ex- pected to arrive either to-day or to-mor- row. He further reports that Charles Taylor, brother of the Union Pacific railway auditor, is making many friends in his position as station agent. Charlie was in W. H. Burn's office at the trans- fer up to about six months ago, as was also Dick Howell, who left with him as chief clerk. Howell had an offer of a better position by Humphrey & Gwin in their general merchandise store at Cald- well, 80 he left the Union Pacific. Frank Dunnigan returned also and will take his fawily to Caldwell after spending New Year's in Omaha. Frank went west with the rest of the boys from the transfer. . John Midhu]l. ?ortlnnd‘?

Amid the joys and delights of holiday time there should be a practical remem- brance of those to whom Christmas brings po such bountifulness, and those who have no home hearth near which to hang up the stocking, with the assurance of its being filled. Among the practical meotheds of helping such is that by which a home for the homeless has been established here. The citizens have generally contributed, but it is a great work, and its needs are great. But a short time ago a poor boy, sick, sore, filthy and friendles, was brought in. His life was despaired of. He was, indeed, a pitiable object. Washed, with clean clothes, with needed delieacies, and ten- der care, he has been almost restored to health, his life given back to him, and now he gives promise of growing upto be @ usefuil momber of society and to be able w help himself. Such is but one instance. The work is everybody’s work, and all should take an interest in it, and at this joyful season of the year gladness should especially give some expression of sympatny and aid, Just now there is a special need for cash, as there are about §160 in bills that must be met. Thos: contributing §10 becdme members of the association, and §60 makes a life mem- ber. There are many here who could, without feeling it, apend five, ten, twenty or more dollars, and those who cannot do this should hand in or send in smaller amounts, Everybody should con- tribute something, as it is every body's work, 1 —e—— Hoed's Sarsaparilla gives an appetite, and imparts new life and energy toall the functions of the body.

You sympathetic lndies who send nick- els and silver pieces by a servant to the poor organ grinder who stands at your door, or who throw down to him from an upper window pennios wrapped in thick writing paper, may like to know how- much a man gets in the course of the day, and what he does with his money. For the latter, he does not spend more than a seventh part of it. He puts it in a bag and then in a long, low chest in his room, to save *ill he has enough to go back to southern Italy and live at easo.

How much, think you, does he earn! More than a carpenter, or a brick- layer, or a policeman, or a postman, or a salesman in a store who wears gloves and a silk hat, He averages $4 a day. He labors systematically, and has his regular beat and his varied art to extract the penny from persons of each class he plays before.
