A t_assortment s Wall Paper NOT MUCH RELIGION IN HIS, How a Olerical Manager Takes Care of the Friendless, SENSATIONAL ABDUCTION CASE. Troubles in a Jail That Does Not Always Whirl Around in a Proper Way—Other Bluff's News, That Abduction Case, There was considerable excitement caused in and about the Home of the Friendless yesterday morning on account of little Belle Walters, an eleven-year- old girl, who ran away from the Home Saturday night. Last week Mr. Lemen had some trouble with the girl. 1t is ted that the little girl haa for her nightly task the duty of washing and putting to bed cighteen of the httle children. Sueh a task proyed too great for the little girl as will be easily con- ceived by the tired mothers who have only two or threc little ones to thus look after. The washing and undressing of so many little ones can hardly be ex- pected to be done very thoroughly, es- pecially by so little a girl. It is stated that on Thursday night, in performing her task, one of the little fellows fell out of bed and accidentally got a bloody nose. One of Mr. Lemen's children ran i haste to him and informed him what had occurred, telling him further that Belle has declared that she wished they would all fall out of bed and br their noses. This is said to have so kindled wrath of the clerical nager of the an Home, that he flew at the girl hook her as to leave the marks of his clutch on her arm. 'The next day she showed the marks of his fingers to some neighbor. Saturday night the girl improved the ..L.,mruu.ny afforded by Mr. Lemen's sence from the city and_ran away, to the hom Mr. Nichols. took the girl in and cared for wte that th w the s and that the girl ting that she did not he was told that she roing ov )hlll\ famil, The family and blue mar! crying and ins want to go back. could do as she wanted to stay there until she could find some other home they would care for her. It seems that the management of the stitution feared that the girl would tell what she knew, while the girl is said to been still more afraid that she would ibly punished if she did, She was promised protection and care if she did not _choose voluntarily to return to the Home. The management t two boys to police headquarters to get a po liceman to go and bring the girl b: the home, claiming she had be ducted. The police refused to act in the natter. Yesterday morning the manager re- turned from his Sund stay at Dow City. He wentto Mrs chols’ house, according to the statement of that lady, corroborated by neighbors who saw the occurrence, and as Mrs. Nichols opened the door, seized the girl who was standing_beside her and forced her to return with him. Mrs. Nichols was alone in the house with the girl, so the rev- e gentleman had his own way. The affair caused considerable stir in the neighborhood, and soon there were a number of excited residents in the streets and by their gates talking it over. Some one sent for the chief of police, and that oftic it Ofticer O’Brien to go there and remain until the chief could come himself. A B man, in his desire to know what wa goin‘f on, went to the ched the door of the Home it Ofticer O'Brien did, Mr. Lemen claimed that the girl had been stolen away, and that he had simply rone and got her, he ing adopted for. ‘During the conversation tho B man ventured to ask whether he (Mr. Lemen), aad not had the girl locked up in her room. Mr. Lemen flew into ona man ve at once. family are stayers, not goers, and after some further talk’ Mr. Lemen told the officer Le could see the girl. The Be man, after some further bursts of passion and orders to leave, on the part of the christian manager, s allowed to accompany the oflicer. he girl was found in the cnm&mny of Mrs. Dakan, the matron, and Mrs. Lemen. Belle was surrounded by entirely different circum- stances than when she told her story in the Nichols home, and the little girl when asked if she had shown black an blue marks to Mrs. Nichols, and had told of being whipped, denied that any such occurrence had taken place. The visitors were then invited to go to the chapel and hear the children recite ssalms and sing hymms. Mr. Lemen frought up one of his own’ children, and showed that she was thin, and thatif ap- pearances were to be rehed upon, she was one of those who was being under- fed, which was, of course, :l&!l‘E[DOS[eI'UHI suggestion. Then he called up two of the plumpest of the orphans, as compari- son, to substantiate the claim that the orphans were being fed as well, and, ac- cording to appearnaces, better than his own cfi'i!nlrn-u. Another incident of the morning illus- trates how anxious Mr. Lemen is to have the truth of the matter shown up. He dashed offin his buggy to get Mr, Filbert, one of the trustees of the Home, to come and watch the wayward girl, and keep guard over her, while he went after th Sensational reporter of the evening pro- bLibition sheet, who has so valiantly d fended him. Getting the reporter in his buggy he took him to the Home, and there had him get a statement from the girl denying that she had ever been whipped or maltreated. Such a st ment was got from the girl under such circumstances, and this secems to be the true inwardness of the abduction Mrs. Nichols says she will appear befo the investigating committee to-morrow and tell what she knows about it. 1f there is any way of convineing the girl that she will be protected from harm if she tells the truth, an interesting state- ;‘uvul would doubtless be gained from her, The mother of the girl lives in Monda- min, The girl, while at Mr. Nichols’ home on Sunday, wrote a letter to her mother. The girl said she could not write as she wanted to at the Home, for all of her letters were looked over, and she did not dare to write anything against the Home. As a result of the lotter which she wrote on Sunday to her mother, the latter telegraphed Mrs, Nichold yestorday morning: Do ot give Bellc up 1o anyoue; will bo there to- night.” rs. Walters, the mother of the gi arrived last evening from Mondamin, She informed the BEE man that she had been sending Mr. Lemen money to help bay the board of her children, while Mr, 1 stated yesterday the exact oppo- site. The girl told Mrs. Nichols that she was not allowed to write any letters to her mother except Mr. Leémen inspected them, and she did not dare to write any- thing against the Home or about her treatment. On Sunday, while at Mrs. Nichols' house, she wrote her mother as follows, her mother haying the letter with her on her arnval last evening.

G. W Roby, of Mal- vern, writes as follows concerning the inyestigation to be commenced to-mor- row To the Editor of the Ber: 1 amin re- ceipt of a communication addressed “T'o the ¥ of the Home of the nd- i to me by the secreta tion is signed Ly four ¢ zens of Conneil Bluffs and contains a num- ber of suggestions re rarding the course that should be pursued by the board at their meet- ing in ity, Wednesday the 16th inst. These sugeestions are made, it is stated, “not because we lack confidence in the honesty of the intentions of the trustees,” but for the reason that in the inyesti- gation of ~the affairs of the ~ Home the decisions ot the board will not “satisfy the public at large,” [ have no means of knowing whether the view of this matter entertained by these citizens be cor- rect or ineorrect, but ask permission to say a word throngh your paper to *the public at large” regarding this communication and its sugzestions. 1. Passing over the first nanie on the list 1 assert that the board of trustees is composed of honorable chiristian men, competent to in- vestigate the affairs of the institution intelli- gently and impartially, That_they are com- petent to form an opinion in the matter, and hat they have sufficient courage to express that opinion f y and without bias. be- lieve further that in theevent they tind them- selves in need of assistance in the formation of a correct judgment they are competent to choose their colleaf e plea for t board” and for per- sion to place possession of certain facts, read strangely after the announcement by the president and secretary that ‘'a fair and imparital investigation will' be had, and those laving grievances are invited to be present and state them.” That effort will be made to a thorough investigation reure this end any evidence in th sion of responsible i will be heard at that t , of the 11th.) Such a plea, after such an- i insinuation that sult, that these d_insinuations are public claim of the me that the trustees have amined these charges and have endorsed him.” Now it seems strange again that varties knowing so much about the Home and its management should not know that the claim, if such there be, that the present board ot trustees ever examined any charges against the manager of the Home endorsing him, is false in every par- ticular. About eightegn months ago a few iends of the institution, invited by the nager himself, heard his statement rela- tive to certain charges that had apoeared in the public prints, and made their report. But this took place before the present board was cliosen —and that committee ~acted in no oflicial eapacity whatever, The tirst com- plaint that ever came to this board reached us on the Sthinst. Steps were taken immne- diately togconvene d and investignte but before w time to get informed that our investiga- ctory to the publie, un- h ourselves “:an equal 0 ponsible citizens in whom thig community has confidence, free from bias and prejudice.” Cool, deeidedly. 4. Withall due respect for the authors of the communication betore us, and with fullest confidence in the integrity and_competency of every name suggested as an associate, we submit that the trustees of the Home of the Friendless have some respect for themselves, also, and protest that this prejudgment of their action in the approaching investigation is unwarranted and unjust, Gro.

The new revolving jail is not fully meeting the expectations of the public. While it has many good points, there are numerous defects appearing which were not discernable when the jail was first occupied. me of these defects have been pointed out by the BEE already. It now appears that the great iron cylinder is settling somewhat, and in doing so there is a decided inclination to settle more on one side than the other. The eylinder thus tipping brings the base in close contact with the floor on the east side of the building, while there ,uquile a gap on the opposite side, If the ~ cylinder settles much more it will be impossible to revolve it and then there will be trouble indeed. There should be some sml:x taken to pre- vent any such results as this, for the jail is so constructed that it will be of little use if it cannot revolve. As it is the work of ing the cylinder in motion is hard, and it seems to grow harder instead of casier. Another difliculty is that if any of the prisoners want to bother the juilor and put him to a good deal of trouble they can doso. While he is turn- ing the cylinder those prisoners on the second and third floors, who are not in sight, if he is turning it from the first floor, can remam out of their cells. When he comes up to the second floor ho has got to turn the eylinder clear around again to get them in, ‘Ihen again he can be put to like extra work by the prisoners on the third floor. —_— Pereonal Paragraphs, Thomas F.

But He Tried His Best to Apologize, and Said He Was a Bloom- ing ldiot, New York Sun: One of the down- trains on the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad rattled up to the Tompkins avenue sta- tion Saturday night, and simultaneously an up-train pulled in at the same station. A well-dressed young man, who was evi- dently very much excited, stood on the rear platform of the second car of the aptrain, When it stopped be tried to climb over the gate which opened toward the track, but the brakeman held him back et me go, old fellow,” whispered the young man, “I'm after somebody ' Thinking that the excited passenger was bent on ending his life by throwing himself undgr the whgls of the engine which was approaching, the brakemidin seized him around the jwaist and lifted him tg the other side of the platform, ,Y man Was whont to pull the vell- young man quickly threw nd was on l‘u‘ platform of the other car just as bath t station. Then the young man had to meet the objections of the brakeman of the down-train. A teporter of the Sun stood on the platform and heard the ex- planation of the excited passenger, “You see,” said hg, a¢ he patted the brakeman on the back, ‘[ just came up on that train, and [ sat by the window as we stopped at Franklyn avenue station. Something—1I don’t Know what it wa prompted me to look aup from my paper at that moment. I glanced out of the window, and what do you suppose was the first object I sawy?’ The brakeman, who had become some- what interested, thought & moment, and then suggested the ticket-taker. “No,”. d the young man, wrinkled his brow. “*No, it was ticket-taker, but my wife-—my , sir with another man i ['m after her and I'm after him. et on this train, and I will have them dead to rights.” I'he remorter looked down the and sure enough platform app: nt] ion with h the gate as he track, l nale cort, who wore a glossy hifih hat and a swell suit of clothe: hen the train stopped, the swell gentleman and the young Iady step] mfi' nto the car and were suddenly confronted by the wronged husband, who stepped from behind the brakeman with the exclamation: “Well, sir: now I have you!” The young man was about to lay violent hunds on the gentleman, whe much to his surprise, he found tl haa made a mistake. “Well, sir, now that you have me,what do you propose to do with mey' 0, beg a thousand pardons!” returned the wronged husband. T've made a mis- take.

By that time the gentleman ‘‘got on” and the h; prssenger got off, and he disappeared down the steps toward the street these words came back indis- tinctly as the train went on: “I'm a blooming 1diot!” S Kirk's German Pile Ointment.
