The girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs, J. C. Nelson, living at Lake and Thirtieth streets, did not return home on Tuesday night, as they were obliged to remain away at work. The girl was not, there- fore, missed until Wednes morning, when Mrs. Nelson discovered that had not been at home during the night. The mother supposed that Daisy had at her grandmother's house, upon inquiry it was found she had not been there . Nelson then made inquiries, and found a little girl in the neighborhood who said that she saw a strange man talk to Daisy, and offered her five cents to go with him towards the river. Daisy did not want to go, but the man ally rlh‘]u-dnpiw( of money into her leit hand, and then taking her by the hand walked off with pened on Clark street ner. This' hap- between Pier and ing.

NEW PACKING HOU ES, The Unfon Stock Yards Company Hold an Important Meeting. An important meeting of the stock- holders of the Union Stock Yards com- pany was held yesterday at the oflice of John A. MeShane. Among those pre- sent were Mr. MceShane, W. A. Paxton, J M. Woolworth, Herman. Kountze and J.F. Boyd. The most important busi- ness transacted was the issuing of $200,- 000 bonds to provide for the cost of erect- ing the new packing houses for Fowler Bros. in South Omaha. These two houses will cost only about $1:30,000. The ad- ditional amount to provide for the ercc: tion of a ing house for Healy & Moran, another Chicago firm which has just just made a proposition to the stock yards company. The plans for the Fowler Baothers’ packing house have just been drawn up and are very complete. They contem- plate two structures, one 167x166 in ground dimensions, and another smaller one adjoining it, 1 ‘The buildings, which will be four s in height, will be built of the b trimmings. The | r building will be used for slaughtering hogs entirely, while the smaller one adjoining will the boilers, engines, tanks, ete p bwlding will be filled with the Iatest and most improved machinery, and there will not be amore thoroughly equipped cs- tablishment in the United States. These lans have awn up by Mr. J. . Nicholson, of Chicago, who has built all lage houses owned by Fowler Bros. throughout other western states, He done especially fine work on these plans, having spared no pains to muke them thoroughly complete. Tn addition to these two houses, there other out-buildings, such s a lard bo: l':u'lurf moke houses, ete. nt will take up ftive acres, immediately west of the Ham- © mond packing houses.

Boyd to reporter yestevday: I cantell you that Fowler Bros. will” revolutionize the hog business in this city immense business, and ate a great market All theiv goods will direet to Liverpool and tho other arts of Europe.

There was an_increased attendance at the Powell trial yesterday. Some of the spectators remained throughout the uninteresting examination 1 the court room, while others, a number of whom were ladies, wandered aimlessly around the corridors. The male partof the Flor- ence representation,the walls and niches afforded protty convenient places for Jounging, though it may well be doubted that complexion of the former will be im- proved by the contact of urban coats. Judge Neville presided. The prosecu- tion was conducted by Lee Estelle and Baldwin. N. J. Burnham alone cared for the defense. The prisoner vm and almost indifferent to the closures made, his sister being fre- quently called upon for information by Mr. Burnham Three witnesses had been examined up tonoon, They were for the prosecution, and their names were Carl Goldbranse, Andrew Lindberg and George Smith.

Coming to ., “he put up at the St. James hotel Monday wmorning he was walking up Teénth stre medituting on nis penniless condition, when he met one of the three-card-monte men, who offered to sell him, as he says, atine silver wateh, “You robbed me of every cent I had,”? Miacomb rewrned; “Lam” not in a hx to buy your wateh, “Very well,” said the other man, “take the watch; go in that pawnshop, soak it, i we'll tukes the money and haye a »od time,” The pawnbroker advanced some money on the timepicee, and Macomb and the eard-man enjoyed a short mati- nee the bar, Later on, as Macomb was passing the pawnshop, the broker call2d him in and told him that the watch ul been stolen and that the police were ut to swear out a search warrant to tintotheir possession, Macomb at once returned the amount loaned on the watch, took it up to the police court, il told his story to the judge. Yes. terday he wasreleased, as above stated, Later on, Paul Rich, the young man from whom the wateh was™ stolen, ap- peared in police eourt this morning and wanted to swear ont awarrant agzainst Macomb for the theftof the watch. Much to his disgust the judge decided that tl werenot sullicient grounds for the i ance of the warrant, Rich claims Macomb registered at the .

RIDING ON A S ;\\' rLow.’ The Remarkable Experience of a Columbus Man, Aaron Cue, of Columbus, Neb,, is in the city, conferring with the Union Pa- cific officials about a proper award of damages to him, on account of injuries received by him on their road last winter. Mr. Cue’s experience was indeed a re- able one—being nothimg less than being run down and scooped up by one of the mammoth snow plows used on the Union Pacitic roud. Mr, Cue thus re- lates the story of the occurrence: “It was during that terrible snow storm in January that the accident which crippled me for life occurred. About 11 ‘clogk in the morning 1 started from my llmu;u to go across the Union Pacilic tack, ntending W viait @ ncighbors ‘When erossing the track in the blinding enow storm I was struck by something, 1 didn't know what it was.

I must have been carried about two miles before 1 was thrown off by tho snow-plow. I recoyered conscionsnesssoon and jumped to my fe Where 1 was I didn't know I had completely lost my bearings. I wandered on and on, amd still I could find no house to shelter me. All the time the snow was falling heavily, and the temperature was sinking further and further llemv zero. 1 felt that the blood mmy veins was becoming colder and more s[nrmzhh, anl 1 knew that I was slowly freezing to death. But 1 deter- mined not to give up until the last moment, and by good luck I was saved. I was found at about 6 o'clock that evemng, by a man who took me into his house, and did everything he could tor me. I must have been in a bretty bad shape, for the snow plow had ractured my leg, and during the seven hours I had wandered through the storm I was suflering untold tortures. How- ever, I managed to pull through, and shall soon be able to get around. But 1 don't ¢ to do any more riding on a snow plow.” TALKS WITH TRAV Short Interviews Gathered in the Ho- tel Rotundas, Aargn Cue, Columbns, Neb.: Yes, 1 saw the slecping beanty, Minnie Dishner, the other day.

The Lake That Joseph Made, The Ewropean press published the statement three or four weeks ago that the Egyptian Minister of Public Wo. had decided to utilize the recent dis- covery of the bed of ancient Lake Moe: He wishies to rebuild the old eanal that nearly 4,000 years ago was dug between daughter of on, aged 18 the basin and the Nile, and make this great depression about sixty m west C once more the reservoir for the surplus waters of the Nile at flood.

Whitelionse to restore pake Mocris by private enterprise to its ancient function of receiving and dis- pensing the waters of the Nil This 1s a proposal to repeat in- modern times rreat engineering - enterprise which the patriarch Joseph is said by some authorities to have earried out. It is all the more noteworthy because the act that Lake Moeris ever existed has been det or centuries, Linaut some forty ago revived the notion that Herodotus told the truth after all, but not until 1882 did the best geogravhical authorities agree that there wasonce a Lake Mocris, and that its ancient Ifd had been found, Of the wonders that Herodotus de. seribed as existing near Memphis, two, the Labyrinth and Lake Mocris, have been unknown to modern rescarch.

There were dykes at the mouths of the ecanal by which the engineers stored up or distributed its water supply. The lake wus mostly bordered by the desert. On its banks lived multitudes of fishermien, who caught and salted the fi in the lake, which o rti that bred freel its existence to one or more chanuels conneeting it with the . Herodotus, Do, Diodorus, hy, and other Greek and Latin writers have been freely charged with falsehood or exaggoeration in what they wrote about Lake Moeris. C. Prolemy placed the lorn-shaped lake on his map on the very place where exists the great deprossi of simi e to which it 18 now signed.
