FRON THE STATE CAPITAL An Attempt by a Legal Athlete to Ride Two Horses, BUING BOTH SIDES TO A SUIT. Funny Stories About a Queer Chare acter—The Laziest Man in the West and Some of His Practical Jokes. [FROM THE BER'S LINOOLS DUREAU. Many a rich mine of news is often opened unexpectedly by the reporter who digs among the dry and musty records of the district court. In the vault in Clerk S s oftice are documents that, put in print and properly explained, would conjure up frightful ghosts of the forgotten past, and, in the language of the bard of Avon, “eause each particular hair to stand on end”—on the heads of those directly interested. Fortunately for the of mind of many people, y geribe is generally too busy with the live affairs of the d; nd too jealous of the proprieties, to give time or attention to the dishing up of such doses. Once in awhile, however, some case freshly filed will force itself on his notice, and chal- Tenge a comparison with similar litiga- tion of another date. There is a lively instance of this in the action brought by Hon. J. R. Webster, of this city, to com- peol Mr. Charles E. Lewis and tho latter's attorneys, Grant & Grant, to pay him #$3,20) for forcing the payment of de- aulted interest on certain Lancaster county honds, and an acknowledgment by the commissioners of the validity of the securities. Mr. Webster's claim, as get forth in his petition, is_that Lewis is the owner of $67,000 in Midland Pacific bonds, the legality of which had been at- tacked by the county, and payment of the 10 per cent annual interestrefused. The principal and interest at the time suit was begun amounted to nearly $80,- 000. To colleet it Mr. Lewis engaged Grant & Grant of Davenport, Iowa, agreo- ing to pay them, if successful, a con- tingent fee of 10 per cent of the whole ant & in turn retained bster to conduct the for 40 per cent of the 10 per cent. The matter was finally compromised the commis- sioners consenting to pay Mr. Low claim, and he agreemg to accept interest at the rate of 51 per cent for the rest of the time the bonds have to run. This was & virtual victory for the plaintifl’ as he got all he demanded in his action at Jaw, and Mr. Web sented his bill for services under th ntract with Grant & Grant To his surprise they refused to pay, and ke brought the suit mentioned. This would be all right were it not for the fact that this same at- torney has proceedings now pending in the st supreme court for a mandamus to compel the commissioners of Lancaste! county to pay his bill of $14,77 L oRai]y conioBt ag Ehol phymont ot in: terest on these same bonds.” It would be a ludicrous, but rather expensive joke, if Mr. Webster should obtain his mandamus and force the payment by the county of his bill or resisting the payment of the 10 per cent nterest on these Midland Pucific bonds, and then get a judgment against Mr. Lewis for §3,270.42, for foreing payment by the county of the full 10 per_ cént in- werest on the bonds up to Apuil 1, 1886. Such a performance in legal athletics would dwarf the great circus act of riding six horses bareback. ME CHARACTER. le, of Colorado, the noted railroad builder, who, with General Jack Casement, of Ohio, has the contract for constructing the Missouri Pacific ex: tension from Weeping Water to Lincoln, has been & gnest at the Commereial for a few days, chatting over with Landiord Kitchen the incidents of their early life in New Mexico. Last evening Mr. Car- lisle, for the amusement of a select few, recited a number of stories about the noted Zan Hinekley, that for pure, native wit and humor rival anything ever pub- lished in the alleged comic papers with which the country is flooded. Hinckley was a rough dia- mond who, in the early days when Carlisle was freighting across the plains, and Kitchen was running a hotel at Santa Fe, lived away up in the Greenhorn ter- ritory in Colorado, in a poverty-stricken hovel that he dignified with the name of ranch. He was probably the laziest man in the west, but as honest and true as the be: One day in returning from Santa Fe, where he ?’md been cleared out at poker, he stonped at the ranch of a friend about 200 miles from his home. He had no horse, and kept his mund protty busy tryh\F to hatch some plan by which he could get a ride. At dinner he noticed there were no potatoes on the table, and took his host severely to task for the shortage. Potatoes were a great luxury in that country then, and the ranchman was not ashamed to own that he didn't have any. *What; hayen’t got any potatoes?" said Hinckley. “That’s too bad. Just send a team up to my place, and I'll give you all you want.” The offer was a good one, and the next morning the ranchman started a man off with a four-mule team, and Hinckley bad # pleasant ride home, 200 miles away. When the man got ready to return Hinckley loaded the wagon up with dogs, ruuing in all the worthless curs he could ind among his Mexican neighbors, The driver protested, n\yin‘u his employer wanted potatoes, but Hinckley. who of course never had a potato on his place, said he knew better, that it was pups ho wanted. Three months later Hinckley stopped at the ranch nfiniu, and the awuor iquired why bo bad séat all tho doys. I knew that dern fool driver w: making a mistake,” was his answer, *I told him you wanted potatoes, but he said it was pups he was after, and I lot him have ‘em.’ £ Hinckley's genius in getting the ride home without asking for it was appre- ciated by the ranchman and a hearty laugh followed the explanation. At another time Hinckley was at a small hotel, and as the house was full, could not geta bed, Mr. Carlisle, who was prosent, offered to share his shake- down with him, but Hinckley said he could sleep well enough in a chair. After the landlord had retired and the house was guiet, lllnukluf’. telling Carlisle to follow and he would secure & good room, took oftf his boots and erawled up stairs. In the hallway he yelled ““Fire! Fire the top of his voicd, and the lodgers came tumbling out of their rooms, and made a dash down stairs. By the time they found it was a false alarm Hinckley had pre-empted u comfortable room, locked the door, and was snoring so soundly that even the landlord’s vigorous demand that he vacate it at once went unheeded, One night a freighting outtit stopped at Hinckley's ranch—indeed, everybody made it a point to stop there, as much to see und talk with Zan as nn]ynnngu X for the food and lodgings ne had to ofter were of the most primitive sort. On the night in question his ranch was destitute of anything like a bed, and his visitors, viewing the bare earth floor, wonderes where they were to bunk. At last one man ventured to say that he was ready o qu to bed. g ‘Mot any blankets®" queried Zan, and on receiving & negative reply he pointed out & spot in the corner, saying **You can *sleop there,” This was continued, evw{ man without blankets being sent to bunk ou the bare ground, until struck one pdaaiid:. L N ohap who, in answer to his question, said: “‘Why, yos, Mr. Hinckley, I've got two ulankets and two buffalo robes." “Gjod bless you, young fellow, you can sleep with mc,” was the immediate reply.

THE WEAK ARD DEBILITATED. Why Women Become Invalids, (From the St. Paul Ploneer Pross.) The bome life of woman has its pen- alties. Their confinement and closo ap- plication to household duties and the me- dentary pursuits which are a part of thelr duties, bring with them a train of evils ‘whose name is legion. From her peculiar organization, she i8 more seneitive than the stronger sex—more easily persuaded and more ready in her belief of causes and effects. Hence, for the thousand ills which flow from her position and habits, she is prone to fly ut once for rellef to drugs and nostrums. Besldes, women are not permitted the advantages men have in the use of proper preventives, and she is left & prey to quackery and bad advice. In turn, cod liver ofl, beet tea, iron, ner- vines and notions are taken, which derange the stomach and cnfeeblo the nerves, without possessing any food value, and which increase the weaknesses of their delicate organism. In the development of the specinl functions from inadequate nutrition, the wasted form is only a too common sight. Under thege conditions of an irregular and disordered system, the married state s entered into, and the pangs of maternity are encountered. The harmful effects of all kinds of drugs and nostrums, which women would never take if they knew what they contain, is a prolitic source of the ailments with which they are aficted. A pure stinulant Is often indispensible to their malady and is highly recommended by the most eminent physiciens. The ques- tion has been heretofore, where to procure an abeolutely pure and unadulterated arti- cle, free from fueel oil and other poisonous ingredients, that could be enfely prescribed for their benefit. Eminent scientists and chemists have failed to find a trace of fuel oil in Duffy’s pure malt whiskey, nor any adulteration whatever, and hence it has not only become the standard of purity, but a specific in medical practice. For such diseases as dyspepsia, indiges. tion, heart burn, faints and swoons, and wasting maladieg, to which delicate women are prone, the bighest medical authorities give this pure stimulant a preference, and recommend its use medicigally.
