At o late hour Monday night he was persuaded to go to his Boarding place at the residence of James Brooks on Vine street, and he undressed and went to bed. About 1:80 o'clock yesterday morniag the night jailee at the city jail was aroused by a wild shriek, as of a ‘man in mortal ter- ror, and an instant later Duncan rushed in, clad in nothing but his natural beauty. “Save mo," was his ery. Jailor Barhyte saw at onco that ho had a crazy man on his hands and he gave him a bunk for the mght, During the morning he was taken to the county fuil for safo koeping and spent the nicht howling, his shrieks keeping all of | that neighborliood awake as long as ho was there. . The four men who had been arrested on uspicion of haviug attempted to hold Dun- an up were at once dischurged as soon as tho actual swate of irs became known, One of them had been married Mon- day afternoon, to @ young lady from brasks, and his chagrin at having to open up his marriod career in the city jail may be imagined botter than described. There was no evidence whatever to show that they had gade any attempt to hold >up the unfortunate man, and they were simply the unfortunate victims of circumstauces. Dr. Macrae, who is attending the’ young man, states t he does not consider him insane, but merely frightened out of his wits, Willis Duncan, his father, took him home yesterday morning. He thinks his peculinr ondition is the result of an attack of the crip lust winter. Ho hopes that a few day e and attention at most will bring him around all right. ANXIOU Queer Excuso a Tramp Detected in Trylug 1o Break Into a House. When Henry Atkins went home Monday afternoon he found a man with a chisel in his hands trying to pry open the back door. The family were all out of the city fora sum- mer’s outing, and the man had accordingly Deen allowed to do his work without moles- tation until the son of the proprietor hap- pened around. When called upon for an ex- nation of his queer conduct he there had been a wreck on some | and he had been scnt in great haste for Dr. La who roomed there, to take care of the wounded and dying man, That accounted for anxiety to get into the house, but it was hardly a sa tory explanation of the strange way he took of obtaining admittance, As soon Mr. | Atkins would let him go he went away as gracefully as could be expected under the circumstinces, The city is full to the brim of tramps_and professional thieves. Where they have come from or where they are going no one seems to know. The only thing certain_is that they are here and people can hardly venture out of their houses after 9 o'clock in the eveming without running the risk of being held up and robbed. Even in the day timo they practice their business, Citi- zens should use extra caution to see that the thieves are not given a chance to realizo profits at their expense. The police are doing what they can to get the toughs out of the city, but with the present size of the foree it is impossible that very satisfactory résults wiil be obtamed. 3 BEN ON BROS, Great July Clearing Sale—Spectal Bargalns for Wednesday.

Fred Grantham, the bookkeeper for Coft- man & Co., live stock commission merchants, is still o mystery. The family and relatives arc evidently making a strong offort to suppross everything conneeted with his disappearance, but the fact that the youhg man is lost cannot be disputed. James Grantham, a brother to Fred, arrived yesterday from Marseilles, Tll. He expected to find his brother here, but was sorely disappointed. Freu left South Omaha Friday night some time about 11 o'clock. It is not known ex- actly what time he left Omaba for the cast, but he arrived in Marseilles some time Sat- urday. His mother was lying at the point of death and there was so much for the members of the family to attend to that but little attention was paid to Frod. They all noticed, however, that he actea strangely. There is also another relative at the home of his mother who is very sick and between the two the other members of the family were kept quite busy. . Fred left Marseilles Sunday afternoon, purchasing a ticket for Omaha when he left, Te did not come to Omauha, however, and his friends do not know where he is'now. He was seen by a b who knew him in Moline, 1iL, after leaving Marseilles, but here all trace of him is lost, All sorts of rumors are afioat as to the con- dition Grantham Ieft the books of the firm he worked for.

Having thrown up intrench- ments, posted their men to slaughter the enemy in front, they have regarded an attack on the flank as low minded and cowardly. When they fought with the British they were astonished to discover that theic tiger-faced shields and the clangor of the gongs, cymbals and other strange instruments ‘played by their regimental bands failed to terrify the Buropean enemy Their long respected books on tactics prescribe, with = illustrations, certain specific grimaces which must accompany each attitude with the gun or spear drill. These “mugs” are supposed to frighten the foe. At Canton, where arms of American patterns ave now being manu- factured, the Remington and Spencer rifles have been enlar; liber of one inch, with barrels six feet long. On being told that sueh a length wi Xces sive, a Chinese gun y superintend- ent replied that ‘“he knew it, but the increased size gave the weapon a more formidable appearance.” China is the only country in the world wheroe the profession of arms is not hon- ored. There. on the contrary, 1t is held in the utmost contempt. people have a proverb that s s one would not employ good iron to make a nail, 80 one would not use a good man to make a soldier.” Branded as the o of sueiety, the warrior class has been condemned by government policy to hopeless ignorance. Preserving traditions antedating the invention of firearms, officers of the army need have no cducation, being merely required to be trained atlethees —to be expert archers and swordsmen, and to swing heavy weights. The Chi- nese emvire has ever held aloof in gloomy pride from intercourse with other people of the world. From its point of view they are all barbarians, most fitly deseribed as *“foreign dovils'— a term at once of contempt and hatred. Its disastrous war with gland sixty years ago did not prevent the Son of Heaven from provoking a second con- flict with the same power a few years later. On this latter occasion the occupant of the Dragon throne, ruling 400,000,000 people, was unable to prevent a Euro- | pean army of 20,000 men from marching to Pekin, where the most beautiful of the royal palaces were destroyed by the invaders in retaliation for cruelties in- flicted on prisoners by the Chinese ahd terms of peace were dictated to the emperor. Never inthe history of the world was there exhibited such an illu tration of the suveriority of discipline and science over the brute force of num- bers.

Don't know why I came, but just came. I didn't find many of the boys whom I knew, but soon got acquainted and was moving avound having a good time, but not playing any. I had a good deal of money and was en- joying u fow days of leisure. One even- ng I sat down in front of a faro layout and was keeping cases myself. 1 didn't know the dealer from Adam’s orphan and didn’t pay much attention to the game. I was simply chipping along waiting for the cai keeping about even and seldom making more thao one bet at the start of a deal. “After awhile my attention was called to one player. In fact, about all of them had dropped out but us two, und as I was noticing my own play only enough to seo that bets were properly paid, I had to notice him. He seemed to have plenty of money, and was drop- ping a good deal of it by placing it on the high card, “Now, there are a good many things about afwro box that everyone is not on to, but with a fellow who makes his bread and butter on the green cloth as I have for years, its an old acquaintance, I own a little one that I got from Gifford down in San Diego a year ago, and 1 practice with it semi-occasionclly up in my room when I haven'tanything else to do and nothing particular to think about. **When I noticed the fellow lose his Tam seventy-seven years ola, and have had my age renewed at least twenty years by the use of Swift's Specific.

The man with the money must have been greener than the cloth in front of him, for he didn't tumtle to the dealer, who was working very raw. He was putting up more than half the deck for the high card to loose. Ho didn’t pay a bit of attention to me, and 0 [did to him. 1 have a protty good memory, because I neod it in Dbusi- ness. It was no trouble for me to watch | him shuflle and remembor eight or ton turns from the top, and of course I could cateh the last turn. _He was put- ting up for the other fellow, and, though 1 was just playing lucky, 1 didn't play many cardss open, but 1 my chips leading over from some out-of-the-way card to the card I knew was going to win, and was, of course, apparently as much surprised as the dealer when it was seen that my chips led right. “The dealer was busy and was accom- plishing what he was striving for; I was busy, too, and equally successful. Tho result was that in two or three deals the | moneyed gentleman had dropped close on to $1,000, while I was fully that much to the good, and the dealer was appar- ently not noticing that his hard work was accomplishing very little toward in- creasing the bank roll. “*About that time Rickebaugh of Los Angeles walked into the room, and,stop- ping near me, in surprise, said: ‘Hello, Lem, what are you doing in this coun- try?
