How the Compulsory Education Law i5 Being Violated in Lin coln Firemen at York—Capl City News, [FROM THE DEE'S LINCOLN BUREAT 1 One of the few remarkable cases of re- united families that occasionally find their way into public print has just come to notico here, and yesterday Mr. V. H. Dyer of this city departed for Brattleboro, Vi, to meet a brother who has been lost for thirty-fiv years, Accounts of this ¢ in the family of which Mr. Dyer is a memb have found thcir way into eastern papers and the tale is one of interest. Thirty-five years ago n family was traveling through Rochester, N. Y., which attracted the attention of Mr. Hiram Robbins, of that pl The family consisted of & carc-worn man, an insanc mother, a boy and a girl under six years of age, and a baby boy. The man was travel- ing toward Vermont to place his wife in an asylum and to get his helpless children among friends, Mr. and Mrs. Robbins, tak- ing pity on the man in his troubles, kindly offered to take the baby boy and care for it until the father returned. The offer was gladly accepted and the child was left, the father stating that its o was Frank Dyer. Mr. Dyer then proceeded on his jour- ney, placed his wife in the asylum at Brattleboro, leaving the other two children with their grandparents, and himself return- ing to th st. Mcantime Mr. Robbins raised the charge left to his care, and the father dying in the west nover returned. Of the other two children the girl grew to wominhoc rried and lives at Brattle boro to be n r mother, who i yet alive, aud the boy, now V. H.

Correspondence quickly settled the fucts and two weeks ago Conductor Dyer joined "his sister in Vermont and Mr. V. H. Dyer, the remaining member of the family, was telegraphed for to this city. Befor leaving for the east yesterday he told the By that a letter from his sister in V mont the duy before stated that his brother had visited the aged and insanc mother at the asylum and the instinets of the mother had recognized her boy who, in h lucid hours, she haa mourned after for thirty years. COMPULSORY It may not be a fact generally known, but the last legislature passed a compulsory edu- cation law. That this law is not lived up to muy be y seen in the city of Lincoln in the mumber of boys who ure not attendin 1, cither public or private, and who are rowing up in ignorance s waifs of human ty. That the law should be oboyed and some means provided for its cnforcement is ac- cepted by all, and it is hoped that some con- certed effort may be made for its enforce- ment. The law may not be understood by many or appreciated in its scopo and extent. Its text in full is as follows: “It shall bo unlawful for any parentor guardian living in the state of Nebraska to neglect or refuse to cuuse or compel any one person or persons who are or may be under their control as, their children or wards, to attend and comply with the rules of some onc or more public or private school or schools, for u term of twelve weeks or more during each successivo year from the time said children or wards are cight years old until they are fourteen years old inclusive. Unless they may be prevented by illness, poverty, inability, or by rcason of already being pro- ficient, from attending such public or private 0ol or schools, and provided that in such case they shall bo excused by the board of education of the school district in which said children or wards may live atthe time of such failure to attend such public or private school or schools, “Any person or persons violating this act shall be subject to afine of not less than $10 or more than #0 for each and and evs offense. Said fine shall be im- posed by any court of justice having jurisdic- tion on sufivient evidence of the samo being furnished by two or more credible witnesses, and all fines so collected shallbe placed inthe general school fund, the same ns. other fines and penalties.” OFP FOR THE FIRE. At 7:30 yesterday morning word was tele- graphed to the Lincoln fire department that the city of York was having a conflagration that was beyond the control of local firemen, and calling on Lincoln for help. Chief New- berry at once equipped one of the steamers for work, took 1,100 feet of hose, and with four men startad on a special train for York. The trip was made at lightning oxpress speed, and was a great run over the B. & M. At 11 0'clock the boys telephoned back that they had the flames under control after sev- eral buildings had been burned. BRIEP ITEMS.

Miles, |'om|u:m(i.-r of the department of Arizona, enlisted a private in a Muassachusetts militia rogiment at the outbreak of the rebe lion. By hard work and superior ability he soon gained command of a division of the Second corps, which he led through the war. At the end of the war he remained with the army, and wis soon dispatehed o the west to fight the Indians. He had valuable experi- ence with the Cheyennes and Com- manches, but his fivst great hit was made in following the hostile Sioux in winter, and forcing Sitting Bull over the border into Canada. Then he was placed on Chief Joseph's trail, and in a short campaign he defeated and cap- tured the wily chief. He also whipped the Bannocks. He was promoted from colonel to brigadier general for his val- uable services,and he was transforred to the department of the Columbia. There hequelled some Indiau troubles, and in July. 1886, when the Cheyennes and Aripahoes threatened trouble in In- dian Territory, Miles was called upon to suppress the revolt. Finally, lastspring, wh eneral Crook showed his inul»h- ity tocope with the Apaches uuder Ger- onimo, Miles was assigned to the task of subduing this remnant of the renegudes, He made an aggressivecampaign, hunt= sronimo, and finally forced Apnche chief to surrender. of Miles in this campaign, as his sympathy with the Arizona rs in theiwr long struggle with the red devils, made him a with the people, and the monial is o slight expression of their The following is ad i reat favorite present testi- rlo-hends and outspr ignifying protection. of the wings, and caught by a few feath- ers, are the initials, *N.

A Much Married Drummer. “1 hiud for o companion on my trip from Denver to Omaha,” remarked a well known representative of a Pittsburg hardware firm at in the lobby of the Paxton hotel Saturday evening, “‘a man whom [ have not scen for a number of years and whose history is a most remarkable one, to s Bee cporter us they 10 say the least.” “Explain,” said the reporter ever ready to listen to a story which might prove of suffi- rrant @ reproduction in veler's column, W ell,’ remarked the gentleman as he lit a fresh cient \nterest to the commercial try cigar, “‘this man was a drummer himself at one time, although w very long period hus He was s on the road to, and in addition to bis being a first-class salesman ho achieved the reputation of baving married the largest number of women in a given time of uny man living.

Y. mained there until he was about tw then he became posscssed of the id there was nothing unde ity hat the sun which would compare with the life of a traveling . He pulled out for New York and ught ou with a wholesale clothing firm and was a success from the start. After he had traveled for about a year he went back to Smithboro and married o’ former sweet- hear iy named Nancy Hinds, the dau ‘chant and ome of the best women that ¢ lived in this wicked world They took the usual trip to Wiagara, Long Braiich and other famous resorts and then returned home, Huuk bought a cottage, fur nished it and resumed his' occupation. He used to come home about once amonth prior 10 the time when he became imbuied with the idea that one wife was not enough, but after that his visit.s were few and far between, His next wedding occurred at Wheeling, W. Va. A clothing house in that city failed and as they were indebted to the firm Hank repre- sented, the house instructed him to remain and seitle their claim as best he could. While there he met a young lady named Ora Bond the daughter of a well known flour merchant, and it appears as though it was a case of love at first sight on both sides. The girl's parents didn’t object to the matter in the least and before Hank left he and the girl were married. He remained perhaps a week when he reccived @ telegram from the house ordering him to Richmond. Mrs. Phillips No. 2 was informed that he would return in about four weeks. . When he arrived in Rich- mond he formed the acquaintanee of a young widow who was stopping at_the same hotel and before his busincss in the city was finished he marvied her. He took her with him to Philadelphia where he furnished a neat cottage on Green street and installed her as its mistress. He lived a few days with wife No. 8, and_then went to New York to stock up. On his return he stopped at Philadelphia, and then hustled oft to Columbus, Ohio, promising his last wife to return in about five weeks. He stopped off acouple of days at Wheeling to see No, 2 and after making an arrangement to take her to New York on his return, which would be in about thirty days, left for his destination. Well, sir, that mun hadn’t been in Columbus Lut two days before he married a lady whom he had met once or twice before, who was cashier in u restaurant, Ho paid & month's board for her at a hotel, gave her 50 for pin money, promised to come back in about a month's time and take hor to New York, went to Toledo and thence back to Now York by way of Smitliboro, where he stopped _off a ouple of duys to sce_Mrs. Phillips No. 1.

At Bur- lin, ) he married amilliner, He duplicated his story to his four additional partners of his joys and sorrows about returning in a weelk or 80 to No. 5, and adaded that as he was 1o have those two states for his territory in the near future he would settle there per- manently, and left his last bride for a trip to Concord. Here Henry came to the end of his rope. He carried his order book and cor- respondence together with his baggage checks in a little grip. On_the way to Concord the train was wrecked, Hank got a rap on the head from a piece of timber, The coach in which he was riding was entirely consumed by fire and with it the little grip. Hank had an attack of brain fever which lasted him for nine w and as he had nothing on his per- son to indicate his own name or residence he nthe hospital st Concord for a long time without any one knowing who he was, In the meantime the milliner began to get auxious because of her not hearing anything from her hubby, and learning from the papers that one man's identity was uukuown took u run over to Concord and found it to be her missing husband. She nursed him carefully and told the attendants who he was. A re- porter published his name and the house he traveled for, but neglected to state his wife was with him. The item was telegraphed to New York and of course the firm learned where he was. Wives Nos. one, two, three and four, who in the meantime had written letter after letter to this firm inquiring after their husbaad, were informed in a brief note where he w stopping and each one started for Concord to nurse her ‘dirling Henry.' No. 1 had a big brother for a traveling_companion, ). 2 brought her father along, No. 3 had a lady friend and No 4 came alone. They ar- rived as luc kwould have it, about the same time and struck the hospital within five min- utes of each other. Onehad oranges, another grapes, others pears and plums for the sick man and could they have agreed on the ques- tion his life would have been one round of pleasure for the time being. But they didn’t agree, and Great Scott! what a seene! It required the united efforts of all the attendants to keep those females apart. Haunk was paralyzed. He had a relapse right away. ‘The big brother swore he would an- nihilate hun. Old man Bond wanted to car: bim in sections. The Richmond woman de- sired to scald him, while the Columbus, Ohio, girl declared herself in favor of poison. The milliner broke down and declared she never would look at him ag: His first wife was the only one in the crowd that staid by him, and she nursed him until he had entirely re- covered, Hank then went to New York and reported for duty but was curtly informed that his services were no longer required. He went up town to his hotel and hadn’t been there more than flve minutes before he was arrested on a charge of bigamy, sworn to by old man Bond. As the oficer had a requisi- tion he took his prisoner to Wheeling, where he tried. Every one of the women w present except wife No. 1 and she couldn’t be found. The trial attracted much attention but notwithstanding all the evidence Hank Fot off with one year in the ponitenti Before his time had expired he was pardonced and returned to Smithboro only to find the wnm‘n who had remained true to him in spite of all his wickedness had died about a week previous with his name upon her lips. Then Hank went west. He told me he had been in Deadwood a long time and had made a lit- tle money in the mines. Exposure and hard work have too much for him and his days are nuwmbered. The fellow is completely changed and tells me he is going back home to see his parents and visit his wife's grave before he dies. That's about the substance of his his- tory. He Sold the San A drummer who had just arrived from Arizona was in town last week, says the Lu- gonia Southern CaliforniAn, taking orders for shirts. He says there are bad men down there, The cowboys got hold of him snd old folks wero well-to-do people and sent him to school at Elmira. He re- nd wanted to buy his samples. He replied that he wouldn't sell them for any price. “Won't ch!” said a bystander. ‘‘Waell, now, T guess you will.” The tough citizen playfully toyed with the handle of a small- sized cannon that he earriod in his belt, and told “the boys” to help themselves, 'And the jerseys, many-striped hose and under- wear of ull kinds were divided amoug the crowd. P “The boys™ paid the scared drummer his own price without a murmur, but declared that shirts were scarce in Arizona, 'specially some o' those fancy oncs, and that life was 100 short to wait for shirts ordered from 'Frisco. The drummer was slapped _on the back, had his hat knocked off, was playfully pushed around among _the crowd and finally invited up to drink. He didn't refuse, and s the meekest looking drummer we've in many & day when he arrived in Lu gonia, Trunks. “Do you get up many trunks for commer- cial travelers(” usked a Bre representative of a local trunk dealer a few days ago. “To be sure we do. Some of them are in- teresting, too, in their ingenfousness of con- trivance, Different styles are made for dif- ferent lines of goods. The heaviest trun are made for music boxes and the lightest for Jace samples. The most expensive are the jewelers’ trunks. These are filled with DPlush trays, ring cuses, watch holders and other contrivances for the careful transpor- tation of the precious contents. The hat drummer has his trunk fitted with wire frames that hold each hat and can be taken out to serve us stands when exhibiting his samples. For druggists’ glassware samples we prepare the trays with compartments to fit the different bo*tles, and with rubber cushions in the ends. Trunks for musical instruments are the most difficult in prepara- tion. We have to be very particular to get violin cases air tight, here is a special trunk manufactured for men who live in their trunks, as many com mercial travelers do. Their trunk opens in three sections, so that you can get to any part of it readily. Tt is so arranged that it forms u chest of drawers and is a great con- venience to the traveler. Thore is at present a great demand for sole leather trunks even among the commercial men, They are made of tho strongest leather and fastened with copper rivets, The different styles of drumimers' trunks are many. ome of these trave ha their chiests made to order to suit their especial fancy, though the great majority accept the standard style and size. W.C.T.A The board of directors of the Western Commercial Travelers' association held a special meeting in St. Louis Tuesday to take action in regard to the death of Harry R. Macdonald, first president of the association In the absence of President Wetmore Mr. A F. Shapleigh, jr., first vice president, oceu- picd the chair. ' Several members of the board spoke very feelingly in regard to the deceased and the loss the associution has sustained through his demise. It was re- solved that the board of directors attend the funeral in a body, and that the members of the association be requested to attend. Dakota Does Not Impose It.

The trouble, if there is any, will come from the killing of Sword Bear: An Indian policeman claims to have shot him. This policeman ha brother,an Indian who ix now away from the agency and who will not refurn until spring. Wlien he gets home he will, I expect, be in a frenzy, if he hears of this, and will kill the policeman that shot the chief. This will stir up the tribe and the agent will have his hands full.” Mr. Cacely took in the Paul with the eye of a novic ghts of St. ) yesterday. e Snow Sheds. Snow sheds to cover the railway track have been built at points on the Central Pacific road whero it crosses the Sierra. As the trains bound eust leave Emigrant Gap they run through one continuous shed for thirty-five miles. The purpose of the sheds is to prevent the track being buried under falling and drifting snow. They secure this end, but are themselves the oceasion of great inconvenience, such as the noise, the loss of view, and the confining of the smoke to the train. There is nothing peculiar in the construction of the, sheds, which have to support _only the burden of the sno But on the line of the Canadian Pacifie, where the road crosses the Rocky mountains sheds of a different construction are needed. Be- fore the rond was completed observa- tions in the mountains showed that ava- lanches must be provided against. A single avalunche covered the track for distance of 1,300 feet and to the depth of fifty feet. he results of these obse vations was that the company built four and one-half miles of snow sheds at an enormous expense. The sheds are con- structed as follow On the high side of the mountain a crib filled with stones is constructed. Along the entire length of the shed on the opposite side of the track a timber trestle is erected; strong timber beams are laid from the top of the crib work to the top of the trestle four fect apart, and at an angle repre- senting the slope of the mountain as nearly as possible. T are covered over with 4-inch planking, and the beams are braced on either side from the trestle and from the crib. The cov- ering is placed at such & height as to give twenty-one feet headway from the under side of the beam to the center of the track. The longest of these sheds is 8,700 feet. ————rr— A Valuable Remedy.
