Baffalo Bill's Ronanza— Wedded and ¥Yet No Wife—Seeing the Elephant ~Matrimonial—A Tornado Vic- tim—The Nail-Works—Minor Matters, A Train-Boy's Trick, A small, dried up, German emigrant giving his name as Matthias Servatius wassitting in the central police station yestorday, his eyes disconsolately fixed upon the floor. He was there to ap- pear as accusing witness against John Thompson, a Missouri Pacific train boy, who, as he claims, robbed him of $40 on the train last night. From the story told by Servatius to a reporter for the Beg, it appears that he is traveling with his wife and four small | children from Green county, Kansas, to nd, I1l. Thursday shortly {be- lissouri Pacific train reached a he was approached by the trai boy Thompson, who asked him to cl a $20 bill. * He refused at first, but final consented to do so. Thompson jerked the pocket book from his hand, and insisted on counting over the money himself, He made the echange, as Servatins sup- i posed, correctly, and returned the pocketbook. Mhursday Servitins re- mained with his fan in the Blufts, and was preparing to rday on the eastbound train, suddenly took a notion to count his money, and in doing so discovered ho was $40 He returned to Omaha and laid hi before Oficer Duft Green, telling that in all probability the train boy committed the theft. ~Green at on hunted up Thompson, and discovered him lounging near the depot. He in- formed the young man that the German had accused him of stealing $10 from im. “It’sa d— lie” roared Thompson, “I | onl*look $20.” “No, sir, you took 10" replied the i officer firmly. “Well, show me the man and I'll give Il him_ back his $40,” said the young man wenkening. But neither Green nor Ser- vating were so ily satistied and Thompson was taken up to jail where a charge of grand eny was booked against him, He returned the money, and was giv- en thirty day’s in Jail. In conversation with a reporter to-dx, Thompson denied ing stolen the Ge man’s money. When a query was put to him “why did you offer to réturn t 10 if you had not stolen it?’ he sullenly.x lied “T'd *a given him $140 rather than gc locked up in jail.” BLUGGED 7|"R()); BEHIND And Robbed of ety Dollars of Trust Funds. " Thu four young men named Willis and William Grant, William Burnley and Henry Miner arrived in the city from Ste Neb. They were on their way to Wal Montana, where the wife of one of them, Wm.

GOOD WORK. A Monthly Report of the Woman's Christian Association. During the month of April the work in the home was less than usnal,although atone time there were eighteen women and children. Over twenty-five during the month have been i the home, work found for some, and others sent on their y; none remained more than a few days, some only a night, Four lost children have been brought to us and cared for until their parents came for them. A mother with four small children came from Scotland and failed to meet her husband on the day planned and she remamed a few days only when her hus- band was found. Another woman and child remained but one night when her husband was found for her and all taken from the home.

Judge Berka gave afd ecision as follows, ‘‘My opinion is that the plaintift’ paid the full amount of money required of her by him to discharge the mortgage the contract more than for 10 cent, and hence 1t was a usury. “I therefore render as judgment against the defendant in favor of the plaintifi' for the sum of §55.00."

The operation which required loss than twenty minutes was performed by Dr, McMenamy, assisted by Drs. Coe and Spalding. © The patient is now resting easily with every prospect of a rapid re- covery. The operation was an essenti rerous one, because the blood v the neck were involved, but was so well performed that none but good results can come from it.

Hawes that the claim of the state of Nebraska against the government has been allowed in the sum of §18,081, out of $27,644, leaving a balance suspended of $9,563. This claim arises out of a provision of an act of con- gress of June 27, 1832, providing for the payment to the state of all moneys that were expended by the state in the sup- pression of Indian hostilities from April 30, 1861, to the date of the passage of the bill, The claim is a voluminous docu- ment, containing 286 vouchers for the claims in sums ranging from § to $1,300, These claims, as is not generally are for the serv of the mi plies furnished the militia, tation of stores, ete., while driving back the Indians from ihe Big Blue country in the tall of 1867 and 1868, The claims™ that arose and were due to the state on account of the Indian loss h: 1864, rovided for under pas , 1808, have all been col- [iotod and paid: In preparing this claim Mr, Hawes has secured the evidence required by the war department and the accounting offices of the treasu About thirty of the vouchers have been suspended for the amounts claimed.
