How the Blumbers of an Express Messen- ger on the Rock Island Were Disturbed, The Vietim of a Practical Joke, Perpetrated by the Veteran ©Cash Watson, Omaha Railway Times: Railroad men, and expressmen particularly, are unsure passed as practical jokers. The follow- ing one related to us by Cash Watson, the veteran messenger, now running on the Milwaukeo, out of Council Blufls, is the best we have heard lately, and we should like to see the man who can beat it. Cash said: “It was in the spring of 1878, while running on the Rock Island between Council Bluffs and Davenport, that T had one of the most amusing ex periences of all my train life. The Rock Islund then run what were called combi- ation cars on the front end of the pas- senger trains--that is, the express, be gage und mail, all in one On the night I am about to speak of our erew was composed as follows: George Sims, register mail elerk; Bill Logan, baggage: in; and myself express mani »utnlur. ms was & man of remarkable physiquo and undoubted courage. Indecd he was known as one of the sandiest men on the road, having his mettle put the test'a great many times while serving in apacity of doputy sherifl in Des and was never found wanting, although he was nearly killed on two oc- casions whih‘.g cforming his duty. Not- withstanding Sims’ great courage, he en- tertained an unspoakable dr corpses. I well remember the expression on his fuce oceasioned by the first corpse being brought into the car after he com- menced r:ull‘llz\llin;i. little short of horr Little by little, howe , he became better accustomed to riding with them, but never quite outgrew his: fear. One evening in the latter part of March, 1878, we Fullml out of Council Blufls with a light run all_around, but among the matter in my eharge was the corpse of a man who had gone to the mountains in the hope of regaining his_health, but had died, and now his remains wero being, shipped to the cast for burial. l}ulh Logan and myself noticed Sims' discomfiture when he saw the coffin case. He asked me how far it was going, and I answered that I guessed he was night ride little after 10 o’clock w tic. The night was dark with beating rain and howling wmd—f‘uq such a night as would inspire the gloomiest thoughts in the mind of poor Sims. Our work was light after leaving Atlan- tic,and I proposcd to Sims that he sit up, wateh for stations, while Logan and my- self would retire. Of course he refused, I well knew he would. Then I offered to stand vigil while the other two slept. Sims soon ‘turned in’ and in a little time noring. Then I told Logan that I ded to scare that foolishness out of , vight there. Among the express matter “that we had taken on at Council Blufs depot was a bundle of two dozen boxes of cigars. These were setting on the coflin-case. If you had handled ex- press matte! many years s you would have learned long bundle of eigars, tied up in'the m were, when moved over the rough > of & board, would produce a_dis- ng noise, not unlike the wail or groan of a person suflering some awful agony. Well, I attached a string to the bundle of cigars, which reached to my chair nen ve in the middle of the at down, threw mysclf 1 attitude for taking a nap between stations, and gave the string two slow pulls. 1 confess the result was tisfactory that it almost startled me. With my head thrown back and my cyes closed, T watched the effect “on Sims. He had sl()];]l)ml Lis heavy, meas ured breathing, and was listening, al- though not yet fully aroused. n a minute he remembered where he was, and turned over in the bunk, and’ for fully ten minutes kept his cyes firmly fiyed on the coflin-case at the nd of the ear. I knew pretty well what was passing in his thoughts. He w in whether he really did rthe groans or was dreaming, and ing in his mind if he should ' or not. He evidently c to the conelusion that he had been dre: ing, for at the end of ten minutes he w dozing. I waited along time for him to et sound asleep again, but it was plainly to be seen that his rest had been seriously disturbed, and he very nervous. Fi- g he snored a little, My time for ac. i od, 1 gavethe string hort jerks, producing a noise on would if bei led or thered, and imm ' long, slow pull, repe i In an inst s hand on h ted on the box ¢ man, This time he ming, he had heard i 5, to alt apvearances, I was sound ), and in his bunk. s sat Sims alone with a live corpse, at a dead hour of the night. Just the predicament of all others in this life that he most abhorred. It could not have been more than a minute before he climbed out of his bunk and came stealthily to me. He shook me violent- ly, and said in anervous, husky voic ‘My God, Watson, that man’s_alive in there, Do something, quick.’ think you saw a porfect Lorror when you witnessed ‘Othello,” but you didn’t. Hero was a great, strong man, wholly powerless and almost translixed by a kind of super- natural fear of the dead. He was the most complete picture of a horror-strick en mortal I ever saw. I can never for- get the look on his face. 1 tried to convinee him that he had been dream ing, but he declared that he first heard the man in the box try to speak, and then groan, Heo said he thought he heard it onee before, and was certain he did now. Argument was of no avail, Sims wanted the man taken out of the box and inspect- ed. Both Logan and myself tried to son with him.” We showed him how im- possible it was for a man to bealive after having been pronounce ad in Denver and then riding five miles en- cased in two boxes. To convince him L went and shook the box. This appeared to alleviate his fears somewhat. Then we pooh-poohed Lim and gave him the lnugh, We worked him in~ that manner for an hour. He finally suid that be had ken a couple of drinks before leaving Blaffs, and admitted that possibly it might have worked upon his imagina- tion. Sims' nerves were pretty steady now, and with the promise that both Logan ana myself would re- main_ up and awake, we oL him back to bed. We told him that people in Lis condition needed slesp. It must have been fully 3 o'clock before Sims got to sleep again. When we hadl sutistied ourselves that he was not ‘play- ing possum,’ we prepared for the grand climax of the play. This time I gave the string two yigorous pulls, and in response the cigar boxes emitted two unearthly Sims bobbed ap as before, and eld the look of alarm that Logan and I had assamed, his fears knew no bounds. We tremblingly told him that he was right—that something was cor tainly wrong in the box, for ‘we had di tinetly heard the groans, W pretended | to be very much frightened oursclyes, whicl: only addod to Sim’s alarm, Ina | very short timo our hero bud geabbed 1p 1 rurt of Lis clothing and was makivg for he forward coach Just as fast as thy good Lord would Jot him. He bad had cnough of sleeping with dead men. All the money in the Rock Island road would not have induced him to sleep in our ear again that night. The next morning he came for- ward to look after his register pouch. He sat down without saying a word, and was doubtless thinking of the events of the night. T stepped to the coflin-case and comenced shoving the cigar .boxes back and forth. Then Sims discovered that he had been duped, and begged us not to ive him away. But the foke was togood 0 keep, and’ before a week had passed every man on the road knew of it.

The Human Race. outh’s Companion: Some one recently made public the remark that if the whole human race were divided into families of five persons each, the state_of Texas is large enough to supply half an acre of land to each family. The statement sur- prised_some people, and not a few of them declared hastily, without. perform- ing the necessary “calculation, that it could not be true. But it is true. There are supposed to be about fourteen hundred milhon per- sons living on the globe. A half acre to rch family of five wonld require one acre for ten persons, or one hundred and forty million a in all. The area of Texas is mor an two hundred and thousand square miles, or rly one hundred and eighty-eight million acres. Consequent! there would be a surplus of almost” twenty- ight millions left over after every fam- y was provided for, which would be suf- nt for four or five times the present population of the United States. Not many people reali space would be ! the whole human race, assembled in one lace. Suppoa were to faney every uman being forming one of a vist con- gregation, seated in fourteen hundred million chairs, each occupying a square ys ground space. As there are nearly three million hundred thousand “square are mile, that number rej of the congregation that could be seated upon it under the conditions named, and the whole human nily could be gathered on a tra f and fifty-two square -one and aquarter miles 1 two-fitths of the little state of Rhode Island w to give comfortable seating room to the whole human One-twelfth of the area of Rhode Island would be enough to afford standing room—as people stand in a crowd without erushing—to every man, woman and child on the face ‘of the globe. how little ommodate one Ry Return of the American Beauty. New York Graphic: Miss Jennie Chan berlain, the American beauty who has been the rage of London for two years, came home Sunday on the Servia.” Her mother and aunt “have been with her abroad, They live in Cleveland.

This was for two cells, built of wood,and actual- ly cost about §350. About this time bills for | printing and stationery were con- tracted with the Omaha Republican and Dawes County Journal to_the amount of 00, without advertising for bids as law requires. Many other contracts were made in defiance of the law, and were generally about three times s large as the consideration received by the county. All this, along iwith the necessary ex- penses of the connty, amounted to about 10,000. This indebtedness was ecreated before any astessment, estimate or leyy was made, and )consequently no_money in the treasury to pay the same. Most of the bills, hotevér, were sold to the Chad- ron Banking company at a great d count. - This state of affairs, through the t parency of the ‘ring,’ gradut known and was made an_iss at which all of the so dates were defeatod.

I'saw a man in St. Paul last week who was once poor, and he owned seven variegated dogs. He was confirmed in that habit But he summoned all his will row«r at last and said he would shake off hese dogs and become a man. He did 60, and to-day he owns a clty lot in St. ll‘ym]l.h and seems to be the pioture of health. The trouble about maintaining a dog is that he mn{ go on for years in a quite gentlemanly way, winning the_regard of all who know him, and then all of a sud- den he may hydrophobe in the most vio- lent manner. * Not only that, but he may do so while we have company. He may also bite our twins, or the twins ot our warmest friends. He may bite us now and we may laugh at it, but in five yoars from now, while we are delivering a humorous lecture, we man burst forth into the audience and bite a beautiful young lady in the parquet or on the car. 1t i3 a solemn thing to think of, fellow- citizens, and L appeal to those who may read thi a man who may not live to atisfactory politieal reform—I nl)- peal to you to réfrain from the dog.
