I'he cat was a sort of ap- remlnm- to the station, and took great interest n all that transpired there. Oneday in a playful mood it took a notion to ride on - the ig belt that was driving the dy- namo. It jumped on the under belt going toward the small pulley and in a second it was whisked around the pulley, As it went around nothing but a portion of its tail was left out. It came out of the ordeal as flat as a piece of Vnper but with no bones broken. It was the thinnest cat in America for several days, but gradually vegained 1ts rotundity and friskiness, and is still a fixture of the place.

Wora was conveyed to Coroner Watter man yesterday morning that a man had been found dead in a field on the Klopping farm near Weston, ten miles east of this city. The coroney at once repatired to the scene and made a careful examination. The body was still lying where it had veen discovered and had been identified as that of Fritz Dreier, who had been living with his brother or a farm two miles south of Weston for the past six years. The body was discovered early yesterday morning by Mr. Klop- ping. = Mr. Klopping came home lute from Weston and as he drove into the yard noticed a horse with a saddle on standiog in the pasture. Thinking some chicken thieves were arranging fora raid upon his henroost he went into the house, awakened his wife, loaded his gun and started out with her to bunt the thieves, They made an inyestigation and found no- body in the vicinity of the henhonse, and then went down 1n the field where the horse was- standing. - When they came up to the ani- mal, which nrpflureli to be tied, they recog- nized it as belonging to Fritz Dreier, A closer investigation showed that the animal was apparently being held by the bridle rein by a man who was lying motionless on the ground. They bent over the body in the moonlight aud recognized it to be Dreier him- self. When they attempted to arouse hin they found he was stiff and lifeless and the crystals of frost were glistening on his bare fiigers, The bridle rein was wound around his left wrist and the horse was unable to get loose. They first thought the man bad been murdered iand aroused the neighbors, but an fnvestigat on showed that bis neck had been broken, and a discoloration on his forehead covered with dirt with a corresponding de- rrusslou in the earth near by which looked ike it might have been made by a man fall- ing from the worse. The theory further strengthened by the fact that he was subject to epileptic fits, and it is presumed that he had boen seized by one and fallen from the horse struck the rouud in such & manner that his neck was roken, Just before he had been seized by the fit, i he had one, he was in the act of lighting a pipe. The uewly filled pipe with the half-burned match was still clutched in his fingers. Hebad aparently lain there for several hours, The coroner satisfied himself that there ‘was no oceasion for an inquest and ordered the boay to be taken to his residence. He ‘Wwas a man about 8 years old, and leaves a wife and several children, The funeral will oceurr this afteruoon at 2 o'clock. —— We willallow no legitimate carpet house to undersell us on carpets, matting, oil cloth, , shades, lace and heavy curtains, china »il ,rluul\t‘s. upholsterin ds, ete.

The Funeral of Colonel Sapp Draws an Imwenss Ooncourse of Peoples THE BODY VIEWED BY THOUSANDS. Taken to Mt. Vernon, O, for Inter- ment-Fritz Drefer Kilted by Fali- ing Under His Horse—Minor Mentiot The funeral obsequies of Colencl W. F. Sapp occurred yesterday ofternoon. A general public interest was felt in the event, and the attendance was very large At 1 o'clock the final preparations were completed and the doors of the residence on Oakland avenue were thrown open tothe publie, to permit the friends and acquaint ances of the deceased to view for alast time the face that they knew so well. The body laid in state from 1 untit 4 o'clock in the front parlor, and from the hour that the doors were opened until the pallbearers picked up their burden to convey it to the hearse there was a constant stream of visitors, The casket was ahandsome one, heavily moulded anda covered with black broadcloth, with eight heavy gold handles, It rested upon two pedestals covered with black cloth trimmed with black satin, The body rested in the casket with the face to the east, und in the softencd light that came in from the drapped windows it was difficult to realize that death had placed his stampupon the face. The expression was lifelike and wholly natural, the pleasant smile that so frcquently lighted up the colonel's face when in hfe still lingered around his lip The whole expression of the face was that which would come ifhe had dropped off into an after- dinner doze and a pleasant dream was flitting through his miud. The half closed eyes with the suggestion of a smile playing around them and the partly opened lips created the impression that the slecper would in a moment murmur some of the pleasaut fancics that were passing through his mind. The floral offerings were simple aud beau- tiful. On the foot of the casket alarge sickle composed of smilax and roses rested upon a sheaf of golden grain, A card attached announced that the offering came from Mr. and Mrs, I T. Stewart. Surrounding the name plate a wreath of smilax and immortelles studded with white roses, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. F. A, Shaver. At the head, vartially dropping over the face of the sleeper, where two sprays of green palm, tied with white ribbon. A deep black bordered card bore the name of Mrs. J. Lyman. At the head on the opposite side of the casket a bouquet of red and yellow roses had been placed as if carelessly dropped. Io the adjoining dining room the large crayon portrgits of M. and Mrs. Sapp hanging on the wail were draped with ivy studded with white pinks. On the mantel and by the side of the casket were banuks of w! “The name plate bo; simple —W. F. step made preparations Lo carry the casket 1o the hearse.

T. J. Mackay. During the services he d a brief and eloquent eulogy of the dead, speaking 1n the most feeling manner of life and character. Thefloral decorations in the church were numerous and beautiful. The altar was almost hidden in the banks of fragrant blossoms. At the conclusion of the services the audi- ce was dismissed, but the friends and remained in the church until the v arrived for the departure of the train over the Burlington road that was to convey the remains to Mount Vernon, O, where two years ago the loving and faithful wife of Col- onel Sapp was laid to rest.

Reforms Demanded in the Matter of Timber Cutting Prosecutions. United States Attorney Baker is in receipt of the follow g petition, which is signed by numerous it i of Crawford, Dawes county, and vi y Sti—We, the undersigned, busincss men and banks wiord, together with other rosidents of this vicinity, who are not inany w onally connected with the troubles which we ‘hereby ask to have assuaged, do beg me other way be devised in your office whereby com plaints against timber cutters in this county may be investigated care- fully ~ before” obligiig men to go to the great expense of traveling to Omahaand back again for the purpase of clearing them- selves, In making this request we would say that in almost all cases timber has been cut for the purpose of meeting the immediate demand of our farmers, fortheir fueland sheds, and witha hard winter coming on, the fear of being obliged to makes the expen- sive trip to Omaha will caise many to suffer, We would also state that for years the people have been told by the United” States timber inspectors that in cases where wood and lumber was for personal consump- tion no action would be taken by the govern- ment, and the work that has been done, whichis now causing so many arrests, has been done with that understanding. The character of men that have been informing on these parties is such that the cases should be carefully ipvestigated here before being taken to Omaha. Itis mostly a scheme by a combination of a few men to extract money from peopie who can be frightened, and it is liable to cause a great deal of suffering.’ Mr. Baker said that he had no_ desire to persecute any one, and would not be a party to_any scheme to revenge some personal spite; neither did he intend to prosecute per- sons who cut timber for their personal use, for use on their property or for firewood, but he had been reliably informed that a large number of people in that region were cutting timber to sell again and ho proposed to make it warm for them, If any persons in Crawford or anywhere else had any knowledge that certain persons were cutting timber for the purpose of sell- ing it, or were attempting any blackmailing scheme, they should atonce ‘inform him of the fact and assist him in bringing the guilty persouns to justice.

Congenial litlle groups were drawn to- gether in the comers, discussing the pictures or current topics of interest; comely matrons visited agrecably with their friends sur- rounded by the beautiful paintings of the Bongeaurentt gillery; baukers and business men forgot their stocks and bonds and put in the time very satisfactorily as critics. of ar while scores of the younger members of so- ciety wandered carlessly up and down dis- cussing art and the prospective events of the coming season with surprising impartialit Among those who were noticed i the gal- leries last evening were: Mr, and Mrs, lKd- ward Peck, Mr, and Mrs, Fred McConnell, Miss L Isaacs, M Juckson, M1 Chambers, Ned Hall, Dr. and Mrs. Ludding- ton and Miss Mary Luddington, Mr. Andrus, Charles Clapp, Dr, Edward Summers, Frank Hamilton, Clinton Powell, My, and Mrs, Char Dietz, Miss Williams, Mr. and Mrs. E.

John Johnson's Remarkable Perform- ance in the Thieving Line, Jobn Johnson is a Swede about twenty-five years old, who made his debut last night as a burglar, Hesaysthathe never stolo any- thing before, aud judging by the manuer of his attempt last night it is easyto believe that he isa novice iu the buswe It seems that Johnson wanted to make a reputation as a burglar in short order, and he certainly succeeded. About 9:3) he was Lking past John Baumer's jewelry store at 4 Farnam street, when he suddenly hurled a large rock, almostas big as a man's head, through the show window aud then reached in and took out a gold watch, a silverine watch and several silver watch cases. He the goods in his pocket and started westward on Farnam street in a brisk walk. It hippened that the night watchman, Fred Lindborg, and J. Klug, o watchmaker, were in the back partof tho store when the stone was thrown through the front window. Lindburg atonce drew his revolyer and hurried outon the street, but the thief would have made his escape badit not been for some gentleman in the crowd who kept aneyeon bim and pointed himout to the watchman, who ran Johnson down by the time he reached Fourteenth street, aud assisted by Officer McMahon Mr. Lanaburg took the jewelry thief to the police station. Johnson seemed to be laboring undera spell of temporary aberration, He said he committed the robbery for the Hmrmse of being sent to the penitentiu He seems to have some great trouble resting heavily upon him, and shows other eviderces of in- sanity, which may be feigned, but which seem to be genuine, AMUSE Ts. Since last seen in Omaha Gilmore's “Twelve Temptations has been wonderfully improved. There 1s lots of go about the per- formance now given, and the audience last evening at tho Boyd lent the inspiration of their applause to the scenes and incidents at- tendant upon the development of the story. Like all spectaculir productious tho greatest s is laid upon tie scenic environments and the allets, There are a number of beautifully executed scenes, some of the lealing scene painters in the country having contributed their ability to the well nigh perfect ensemble, The bal- lets ave varied and very pretty, several new features being introduced, which in this age of inmovation camnot help but be appre- ciated. The characters incilent to the dramatic portion of the performance are fairly well taken,although there are no strong personages in the cast meriting more than a mere geu- eral mention, with one exception, Ed J. Connelly, who quite overshadows his associ- ates in {he role of Snoro Appropos. It is a very pleasing interpretation that ho gives and softened much that was decidedly com- manplace. Miss Conway, who is entrusted with the role of Bright Eyes, should vear in mind that the public is not as well acquainted with the lines of the part as herself, andif she will ouly speak alittle slower and modulate her speaking voice just a trifie her performance will be much more satisfactory. . But the ‘‘Twelve Temptations” aims to be nothing more that a spectacular performauce and in this regardit serves its purpose well. Maggie, the midget mother, and her tiny rosebud babo are attricting large crowds to the Eden Musee. This wonderful beingis but two feet tall, yet perfectly formed, per- fectly developed and amother of the tiniest, cutest littie baby imaginable. Peter Samp- son, thestrong man, s the center of attrac- tion to all athletes, His feats of strength are wonderful. He snaps _wires, chains and cables us easily asan ordinary person would snap & whip cord, The performance in the Bijou theater is exceptionally good.
