Dry Goods £took from 386 @rand Street, New York, MOVING TO0 OMAHA One of Grand Street's Celebrated Dry Goods Stores—In Direct Opposition to Famous “Ridley’s” it Could Not Stand the Pressure And WAS BOUGHT OUTRIGHT BY THE BOSTON STORE. It is the biggest stock that was ever sol¢ outright to any western house. Stonehill’s stock was not in it, by com- parison. , It is almost as big as any dry goods stock carried by anyoue in Omaha today. It has taken sixty expert packers and stock keepers over two weeks, working all day and late at night, to get it packed and ready to ship. It will crowd clear up to the ceilings, every flcor of our own building and the entire second floor of the Stonehill build- ing and not be half in. They, Gluck Bros., tried to fight against the biggest store in all New York. (Ridley & Sous, who employ over 4,000 salespeople and are millionaires.) Soon they found they coald not mate it win. Then rumors got afloat, quiet but reliable and a certain party advised us that it would pay to visit New York, also quietly. So tirst one of the Boston Store firm went, then another and then two of the department buyers were telegraphed for and presto; change: all suddenly, THE WHOLE BUSINESS CHANGED OWERS. THE BOSTON STORE IN OMAHA OWNED THE WHOLE THING. Gluck Bros, were very anxious to turn their stock into cash before the true facts came to light and were ready to take nlmost any sum they could got. Under these circumstances, with no one else even to make an offer, WE GOT IT AWFULLY CHEAP. Mind you, you are not to think for a minute that this is an old or bankrupt stock. 1t is not. Every dollar’s worth of goods in the entire stock was bought for the season of 1892, Gluck Bros. only started up 1n busi- ness a fow months ago, and ONLY TO SAVE THEMSELVES FROM UTTER RUIN did they sell the stock while they had the power to sell it. The stock comprising everything in the dry goods stove line aud a” complete stock of shoes. It will be placed on sale immediately on arrival. 400 cases were shipped Thursday and are expected in Omahu the middle of this weck. Watch for the announcement of the greatest sale of the grandest stock of dry goods that has ever taken place in the west. THE BOSTON STORE, N.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat suys for over one hundred years they have held vhe office of circuit and county clerk, a record which is probubly with- out a parallel. The first court held in the county opened at Hurrodsburgh the first day of August 1786, and on that day Thomas Allin was appointed circuit and county clerk. He held the offico of cir- cuit clerk until 1823, when he resigned, but continued to act as county clerk un- til February 7, 1831, when he re- signed that office = also, having served as circuit clerk thirty-seven years and as county clerk forty-five years. Upon his resignation as circuit clerk in 1823, his son, Phil T. Allin, was appointed to the position, ana held it until his death, 1819, twenty-six years. Ben C. Allin then received the appoint. ment, and was circuit clerk until 1862, when, on account of his strong southern sympathy, a unionist was elected—the office having been previously made an elective one. The Allins were out of this office until 1886, when Bush W. Allin, a son of Ben C. Allin, was elected for a term of six years, ana he has re- cently received the democratic nomina- tion for another term. ‘When Thomas Allin resigned the county clerkship in 1831 his son, Thomas Allin jr.. received the appointment and held it (hy election after 1850) until 1862, In that year, because he favored the south, he was denied the right to be- come a candidate, and a union symp- thizer was elected. In 1866 Ben C. Allin, the former circuit clerk, was elected county clerk, and he still holds the office; being probably tho oldest court clerk, in point of service as well as in age, in the United States. He was born in 1808, and is therefore 84 yea old, He has served us ussistant, deputy or clerk of one of the courts since child- hood, The following table will make rkavle tenure of office clearer: Clrouit O | Thos Aliin Thos. 178 Phil T, Al K49 Thos, Allln jr.iga Ben, O.

A MONS Breaking the Record in Cat; cent Fish in Southern W There is on exhibition in a store win- dow in St. Louis one of the finest speci- mens of the tarpon fish ever caught in southern waters, It is the prop of the St. Louis university and it was pre- sented to thut institution by Soc New- man, who caught it with hook and line in the bay off Naples, I'la., in April last. Mr. Newman has a winter residence at Nanples, Fla., and has caught a sufficient number of the “'silver king” to consider Thimself un expert. The lish referred to above, however, was the largest he ever landed, and, in fact, as large as any caught in this country. Itlacks but a couple of inches of being seven feet long and tips the scale at neariy 170 pounds. Mr. Newman gave a St. Louis Repub- lic reporter the following entertaining account of how he captured “*His Acci- dency,” as he calls the monster tarpon: It was a lovely April morning when [ proposed to Mr. Wilkins, a friend from Rochester, N. Y., that we_takea trip down the bay for tarpon. We had sepurate boats and a man to row us. It was understood that in the event either of us got a bite theother was to time the catch, as we wanted to make a new record, the best then being about two hours frpm the time of u bite to that of landing'a tarpon. 1 was fishing with about eighty feet of No 15 line und one of tha best rods and reels made in the country. 1 had my line out but a short while = when suddenly there was a “click, click at the vreel and almost simultancously up shot seven feet of the prettiest silver fish that ever glittered in the sun- light. You know the tarpon always jumps clear of the water the moment he strikes a baited hook. As soon as he struck the water again I grasped my pole tightly and gave the line a tremen- dous jerk. - There was o report as sharp as a pistol shot and my pole enapped right in the center, I was chagrined and disappointed, for I felt then that my chances of ever landing that fish were very remote. Nevertheless I grabbed the pole where it was broken, and with my right hand on the reel waited for his majesty to slacken up after his fisst ran. He jumped four times clear of the water while running away, my man in the meantime following him up in the boat as fast as possible. Then I began to reel in the line, and after what scemed to me an hour I had him pear enough to the boat to be gafled. “But here was anovher difficulty to be met. My man was alarmed at the size and strength of the tarpon and declared that he was afraid to gafl him with the hook, as he was certain he would be pulled overboard. After persuading him that I could rescue him in case of such an accident he was induced to make the attempt of landing the mons- ter with the gatfhook. No sooner did the tarpon feelithe steel than he made a sudden dive, seapping the hook, and pulling Robertialmost into the bay. Off he went again, jumping eight or nine times move, until he carried out nearly my entire 880 feet of line. Then 1 vogan reeling him in again, my man at the same time getting another gaffhook and fasteninga 1ipe to the handle so as to avoid another accident, ST knew my only chance of gotting that tarpon was in gaffing him &8 soon 18 possible, for with my broken pole the strain on e was terrible, and I felt I could not play him much longer. When I had reeled him to the side of the boat the second time Robert took good aim and, with a powerful lunge, drove the hook right into his gill justas he was about to make another jump. He then lifted him bodily from the water into the boat and in a twinkling had thrown himself on him and nailed the strug gling giant on the bottom in genuine Greco-Roman style. VI sank to the ywat exhausted, think- ing I must have been several hours at work, when I heard Mr. Wilkins ex- claiming: *You're the luckiest man I have ever seen. With a broken pole you have landed that tarpon in just fifty-six minutes.’ It was true, I had broken the record, but let me tell you, 1 had to remain in wmy cottage for three whole days afterward in consequence of 'ER TARPON.

L e Lumpy daw. The following bulletin has been issued by the United States department ol agri- culture: The interest which has been shown by the stockmen of the United States in re- gard to the disease known as ‘“‘lumpy jaw.” or that form of actinomycosis which appears as external swellings on the head, renders it desirable that a preliminary statement should be made concerning the treatment of this disease. Until recently it has been the opinion of the veterinary profession that a cure could only bo obtained by a surgical operation, and that this should be per- formed in the early stages of the diseaso in order to insure succes: In March Last an important contribu- tion to our knowledge of this subject was made by M. Nocard, of the Alfort veterinary school, in a communication to the French Central Society of Veter- inary Medicine. He showed clearly that the actinomycocis of the tongue, a dis- ease which appears to be quite common in Germany and is there known as “wooden tongue,” coula be quickly and permanently cured the administra- tion of iodido of potassium. M. Nocard calls attention to the success of M. Thomassen of Utrecht, who recom- mended this treatment as iong ago as 1885, and who has since treated more than eighty cases, all of which have been cured. A ) ch Godbille, has treated a number with the same remedy, all of w have beencured. M. Nocard also give m‘{uil« of a case which wus cured by him- self. All of the cases referred to were of actinomycosis of the tongue, and no onoe appears tv have attempted the cure of actinomycosis of the jaw until this was undertaken by Dr. Norgaard, veterinary inspector of the Bureau of Animal In- dustry. He'selected a young steer in April last, in fair condition, which had a tumor on the jaw measuring 154 inches in circumference, and from which a dis- charge already been established. The animal was treated with iodide of potassium, and the result was a com- plete cure, as stated in the reports which were recently given to the press at the time the animal was slaughtered in Chi- cago. If lumpy jaw can be cured so ily and cheaply, as this experiment would lead one to suppose,the treatment will prove of great value to the cattle- raisers of the country. As iswell known, there is a considerable number of steers weekly coming to our markets which are condemned because they dis- to such an extent that the general tion of the animal is affected. could be cheaply and resdily cured by the owners, it would prevent the loss of the carcass, and solve all the trouble- some questions which have been raised in regard to the condemnation of such apimals. The curability of the disease does not affect the principles which huve been adopted in inspecting and condemning animals affected with it. This depart- ment has never considercd it necessary to condemn animals affected with actin- omycosis on account of the contagious- ness or the incurability of the disease. Such condemnations have been made when the disease was so fur advanced as to affect the gencral condition of the animal, and ali such carcasses would be ¢ondemned whether the dissase from which the animal suffered was contagi- ous or not, or whether it was curable or incurable. The treatment with iodide of potas- sium consists in giving full doses of this medicine once or twice a day until im- provement is noticed, when the dose may be reduced or given loss frequently. The size of the dose should depend some- what upon the weight of the animal M. TLomassen gives ore and one-half drams of iodide of potassium daily in one dose dissolved ina pint of water until improvement is noticed, which he states is always within eightdays. Then he decreases the dose to one dram. The animals do well under this treatment, showing only the ordinary symptoms which follow the use of iodine, the prin- cipal ones being discharge from the nose, weoping of the eyes, and peeling off of the outer layer of the skin.

The Murder of Benjamin Nathan Reeallea by the Death of His Son, The death of Washington Nathan at Boulogue, France, on the 26th ult., re- calls ove of the most noted and mysteri- ous tragedies in tho history of New York city. Washington Nathan was a central figuro in the crime, and for twenty-two years lived under the bluck shadow of suspicion of being the mur- dever of his father. Even in his dying moments the murder preyed upon his mind. During the last weelk of his life he told over and over the story of the death of his father and kept continually repeating, My poor father! My poor father!” - According to the dispatches the dying man made tho following statement: “The house had been undergoing re- pairs. It is my theory the murderer en- tered the house during the day while the workmen were there. It was 6 o’clock when I entered father’s room. I found him on the floor murdered, and it was I who gave the alarm by going to the window and calling. I afterwards summoned my brother, who lifted the body aud placed it on the bed, thereby | covering himself with blood. No blood could ever be found on any of my clothes,” said the dying man, “‘yot peo- | ple say I killed him. My poor father!” History of the Crime. My poor” father! The most complete and authentic ac- count of the Nathan murder ever printed was written by old Superintendent Wall- ing in his “Recollections of a New York Chief of Police.” Jourdan was chief at the time of the murder, but Walling is agsistant and knew all the facts se that anybody was familiar 80 chief himself. The main facts of are these: a Wall street te banker of lurge for- July, 1870, he was living at his country home in Morvistown, N. J., but he came up to New York once or twice a week.

There, | i lying on the threshold of the little hall | n bedroom, was the dead body of old Benjamin Nathan, covered with blood. The officer felt at once of the heart and told Fredsrick there was still life in his father, and urged him to summon a doc- tor. A further examination, however, showed the vic least three hours, Mangam refused to permit any one to | i leave the house till Captain Burden of his precinet arrived. Captain Burden gave Mangam charge of the house for the day and notified Superintendent Jourdan.

Mr. Nathan’s body bore marks of a dozen wounds inflicted by a b “dog,” which was found near by. The | only clew to the murderer was the mark | of his bloody hand on the wall. He had robbed the body of coin and diamond || shirt studs, but what seemed peculiar | y was that he had taken keys from the dead man’s pocket and opened a safe in Nathan’s private office, which was so situated that a stranger to the house would not have found it. Valuable Evidence Destroyed, The detectives in their search for clews met obstacles at the outset. bundle of bloody elothing was smuggled out of the Nuthan house on the day of the murder, and though a big reward was offered to the washerwoman who ived it to produce the clothing she | used.

Coronor Rollins relensed Washington Nathan, against whom there were the gravest suspicions, but this act did not remove public prejudice against him. This prejudico was increased when on reading Mr. Nathan's will it was found he had practically disinhervited his seapegrace son, The most plausible theory of the mur- der, outside of that which pointed to Nuthan's dissipated son, was that the crime was committed by Willinm Kelly, a s0n of the housokeoper. ~ Somo detec: tives arguod that Kelly admitted con- federates to the house to rob it, and that they were surprised by old Nathan, To avoid the penalty of recognition thoy killed him. Young Kolley could not satisfactorily account for himselt on that night, and since then he has consorted with thieves, but no evidence was pro- duced suflicieat to hold him. A number of desporate burglars were arrested on suspicion. One named John ' confessed to the crime in this order to secure passage '0ss t tinent, but nothing mater: from uny of the suspects, The marks of tho bloody hand upon mha‘ Curious Features. One of the most curious features of the case was the effect on Superintendent Jourdan. He was an apparently strong, hale man when the Nathan muorder oc curred. After it he appoeared to be con- stantly brooding over something; his appetite failed, and in a few months he died. Walling suggests that he learned the real secrot of the erime, but could not disclose it, and the burden proved too heavy to bear, Superintendent’ Walling fn his book declares that he believes young Kelly was responsiblo for the murder by ad- mitting confederates into the house. But soon after ho retired from the head of the New York police department he intimated that his suspicions against “Wash” Nathan had been increased. One reason assigned by Walling for his suspicion that *Wash” Nuthan suffered from a guilty conscienco was the recklessness with which the young man rushed into riotous living im- mediately after tho murder. He had never beon a man of exemplary habit: but he became one of the most deprave men in New York as soon as his father’s funeral was over. He was fora long time under the constant surveillunce of the police, and a careful record was mude of his doing; He did not stop at going upon an oceasional spreo, but his debauchery was continuous for many wecks. He shared his substance first with one woman of the town and then with another.” His female companions were the lowest of the low, and he is said to have indulged in the vilest practices known to metropolitan i morality. Occasionally he would seem to pull himself together a bit, the po lice would lose track of him for two or three months, and then he would sud- denly emerge rehabilitated and half way respectable onco moro, But it was only a temporary reformation, for in a few days he was to be found in his old baunts, drinking to desperation and groveling in On_more than one oceasion the police tried to get informa- tion from some of his companions us to the nature of his ravings when in de-. liram from drink, but they were unable to get anything beyond a casual con- firmation of thaiv suspicions.
