Been During the past few days reports have been received here from all parts of the county with reference 1o the political out look. They have tended to raise the spirits of the local republican leaders, and it fis now clafmed that Hager, the republican candidate for congress, will carry Poltawat tamie county, In spite of the fact that under ordinary conditions the county runs demo- cratic. This will go far toward determining the result in the entire district, and, with the aid of Montgomery county, where demo: cratic defections have been very numerous, and Cass, where the anti-fusion feeling has been very strong since the very start, ren- ders the election of Hager extremely likely The Fifteenth judicial district is naturally republican, and although the democrats are bending every energy to defeat the republi- can candidates, there not much anxiety felt at republican headquarters. A rather peculiar possibility preseats itself, however, in case of a democratic victory, On the republican judicial ticket the name of W. R Green appears twice, once at candidate the full term, and again to fill a vacanc Green s elected on the first his term commence January 1, and if on the sec as soon as he qualifies after the votes are counted. For some reason or other the dem- ocrats left the “to fill vacancy” line empty, and the populists did the same. There consequently a possibility of Green gett enough votes to elect him to fill a vacan without being able o defeat his democratic opponent for the full term. [n case of this contingency (which the republicans elaim 1s a very slight one, of course) being realized, Green would find limself & judge for two months, with the painful necessity of shed- ding his ermine coat as soon as New Year day rolls around.

As a sequel to the disappearance of Henry Beaumont Coode, the defaulting employe of tho Heyn photograph establishment of Omaha, it develops that three well known Council Bluffs men are in the consomme in consequence of his smart dealings. C. H. Sherraden, Marvin White and Charles Lie- bold were notified yesterday that an indem- nifying bond was ‘held by the photograph people in Omaba in the sum of $3,000, and they would be expected to liquidate at once or be sued. Mr. Coode spent some little time on this side of the river previous to locating in Omaha, and while here loafed about the saloons, making a good many friends of all sorts. He was looking for employment, and at last found it. He entered Licbold's place one day in a great hurry, and told him he had just secured a good position in Omaha | with a salary attachment but before he could get it have the recommendation of some responsible parties. Ho thercupon fished out a type- written piece of paper from his pocket and asked Liebold to sign it “I don't know what bold. ““Oh, it's all right,” was Coode’s Teply; “It's nothing but a paper saying that you know me and think I'm all right. Liebold wanted to read it through, but Coode shut him off, saying he was in a great hurry to get to Omaha. Liebold accordingly glanced at the bottom of the paper and saw the names of Sherraden and White, who previously been *“‘worked” in the same w and concluding that it was as repr aflixed his signature. Coode disappeared and was not seen any more. There was not the faintest suspicion that anything was wrong with the paper untll yesterday, when the no- tices were received. The three signers think that as the signatures were obtained by false pretenses they cannot be held, but if they are mistaken in their reckoning it will be rather hard for them, Inasmuch as the defalcations of the young man are several thousand dol- lars in excess of the bond. of $125 a month, he would have to that 1s,” sald Lie- Grand Army of the Republic dance Monday evening, November 5, at their hall, on Pearl street.

Dick Webster was given a preliminaty ex- amination before Justice Field yesterday on the charge of assault with intent to do great bodily injury. His mother, the complaining witness, told her story, and she was sustained in most of it by her son John, who, It seems, took his mother's part. But the evidence all the way through was sadly out of joint, and almost anything might have been proved by it. From out the tangled string the court was able to draw enough to warrant him in binding the young man over to the grand jury, and fixed his bond at $200. Dick im- mediately called for a warrant for the arrest of his brother on the charge of assault and battery. He said that his brother struck him over the head while he was trying to teach his mother what her dutics were. The judge refused to issue the warrant until he had had time in which to think about it, and, if possible, to get rid of a little of his anger. 22 pounds granulated sugar for $1.00 Browa's C. 0. D.

Sylvester, the talented engraver, be- come a restaurant proprietor on North street! “How in the world could you ever give up your art for a mere money-getting entet- prise?” 1 asked. “Oh, it wasn't my giving up the art so much as the art giving up me—and every- hody else in that profession,” replied my genial host with a laugh. *Wood engraving, like steel engraving, Is destined to becomt a lost art. I realized that fact some years ago when mechanical prc s Dbegan to replace my work. A first-class engraver in past years earned $2500 to $3,500 a year. ico pald simply for the engraving was from $3 to $4 per square inch. “How do I compare a half tone with a wood engraving? Well, of course the direct product of brain and hand is superior to mechanical process. The half tone only tells obscurely how a thing looks; It gives no color,’ as the term fs used In engraving, nor any texture. It does not allow the di- rect impact of the mind of the artist upon the mind of the obscrver that makes the charm of art, and it is really only the ‘ehromo’ of black and -white art. “The half tone will doubtless be seded by something better. The gravure is really preferable, but expensive.” What has become of all the wood en- gravers who have thus lost thelr vocation? 1 asked “Well," answered Mr. Sylvester, “many have taken up drawing, or pen and ink work, as have George Moulton and McKeon; some, like Bartle, have turned painters; others, like Tenney and Philip Brown, are working on half tones; Closson Is decora- ting a house for a wealthy man in the suburbs; Kingsley and Cleaves are muking arlist. proofs for a limited number of special buyers; Cole has been abroad for a series of years engraving the works of the old mas- ters, a special arrangement, but I don't know how much longer it will last; Negrie of New York,"" conciuded Mr. Sylvester with a laugh, “is' the only one who, like me, has gone into the restaurant business. He was established on Seventeenth street at last accounts “Many engravers have no work and noth- ing to do, but there is still opportunity for making cuts for advertisements, the details of which can only be. brought out by hand This, of course, is a great fall from artistie work, but they have to do anything they chp el super- photo- is more Sl Blinded by u i . Late Saturday afternoon, says the Florida Times, a small boy captured a water tur- key, one of those viclous, long-necked and sharp-billed birds that cry so weirdly along the waterways of Florida. He placed the bird in a box and on his way home stopped at the store of R. A. Burge, corner of Mag- nolla and Duval streets, Brooklyn. ‘‘What have you got there?” asked Mr thoughtlessly replied the “Let's see him,” and Mr. Burge stooped down and peered between the slats at the bird. As quick as a flash of lightning the long stiletto-shaped bill shot out and pierced ! the pupl] of Mr. Burge's Hight eye.

Various texts are accepted amcng students | {and thinkers in proof-of the high civilization, | some favoring the vhtio of illiteracy, some | | the high average,of he rate of wages, some the surplus eavings applicable to purchases of luxury, eome the national expenditures | for education, some the vclume of mercan- | tile transactions, and oth agaln, the artistic development of the various coun- tries. But one uniform, supreme and un- changeable test of civilization, says the New | York Sun, is furnished in the estimate put | upon human life, and probably there is, |after all, no better, fairer and more satis- factory test. One may take, in their order, euicides, | hemicides, accidents and executions to ar- rive at an accurate conclusion on this point. | In respect to suicides, Denmark, among civilized countries, stands at the head, or, more properly, at the foot cf the list, with an annual rate of 25 per 1,000 inhabitants. Austria follows with 21, Switzerland with | | 20, France with 15, ~Germany with 14, | Sweden with 8, Belgium with 7, England | with 7, Hungary with 5, Scotland with 4, Italy with 3. Holland with 3, Uniled States | with 3, Russia with 2, Ireland with 1 and Spain with 1. In the records of homicides the annmual averago Is higher in the kingdom of Italy | than elesewhere, being 294 to 10,000 deaths, | a very high figure. Spain follows with 238, | the United States with 216, Switzerland with 138, Treland and Austria_with 88 each, | France and Russia with §0 each, Sweden with 75, England with 72 and Germany with 64, It is a somewhat interesting fact that the ratio of suicides to the population is highest in those countries in which murders are fow, and lowest in those countries in which | murders are many. It would seem as If those inclined to take their own lives wera reluctant to seek the lives of others, and those who are reckless in their estimat: of the value of the lives of others were scrupulous In protecting and preserving their own. The extension of machinery for manufac- turing purposes and the rapid utilization of electricity for motive power and for pur- poses of illumination has largely incre |In all progressive countries the ratlo of ac- | cidents. At the present time these are the average ratios of the number of accidental deaths to 10,000 annual deaths from all causes in the countries named: England and Scotland, 80; Ireland, 18; France, Germany, 16; Russia, 6; Austria, 10; Italy 6; Switzerland, 28, SpAin, 7; Denmark, and the United States, 40. To the numiber of passengers carried the ratio.of railroad accidents is greatest in the United States, and Gther countries thus fol- low in the order named: Russia, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Bng- land and Switzerland. The accidents attributable any form, with the most numerous in to contact, electrical current the United States, and public experiznce in this regard is = very similar to what first followed the introduc- tion of steam as a power of traction. With improvements, suggested by the practical operation of railroads, and by utilizing new agencles as safeguards, the number of rail- road accidents Has ben substantiaily de- creased of late yeare, just as the present high rate of accidents from overhead wires will, probably, a few 'years hence, be much less than it is now. There is much variance between ures of executions officially supplied by some governments and the actual number of such executions, some governments adding the return of lynchings and others giving only figures derived from court-martialships In the United States capital punishment is inflicted in nearly -every state under the authority of the.sherift of the particular county in which the crime for which it is the penalty was, committed. There are 4,000 counti s In the U.1.(d Stat:s, and conse. quently 4,000 sheriffs,, exclusive of the self- constituted moby of masked individuals who in certain districts of the south and west usurp, from time to time, the sheriff’s duties and prerogatives. The United States government acquires jurisdiction in very few capital cases, the humber including crimeés committed in the District of Columbia or any of the ter- ritories, on the high séas in’ American ves- sels, in military encampments or among the Indians. In several European countries capital pun- ishment has been explicitly repealed iby law, and the same Is true of three states in this counfry. No accurate figures, there- fore, can be given on the subject of exeeu- tions, except such as are based upon the number of murders, punishment for which is highest in France gqnd England and lowest in Ttaly and the United States. But the fact is hot to be forgotten the proportion of fofeign-born residents is greater in the United States than in any European country, and that the number of foreign-born_criminals in the United States is abnormally large, and tends unjustly to augment in nearly every case, the ratio of the Upited States. If from the figures given an equation could be established it would be found that human life is held in highest estimate in France, followed by the eastern part of the United States, England, Germany, Holland, Ireland and Norway, in the order named. SRR FACTS ABOUT BABIES. It Does Not Follow that the Biggest Are Always the Finest. It isn't the biggest baby that is tho strongest or finest, for firmness of flesh and bone, with a steady, if slow incresse in and bulk, Is better than any great stature or weight. Of course children are built on different models, says the Mil- waukee Journal, and cne cinnot say that a baby should weigh just so much at such and such a time, but some cne has gone to the trouble of gétting some averages with which mothers may console themselves when they have nothing else to think of. At birth a boy shculd welgh fome six end one-half or seven pounds, a girl , or about X to six and one-half pounds. Twins are al s of Jower average welght and size than single children, although the two to- gether weigh more than any single baby In height a boy should measure at birth on an average eighteen to nineteen inches; a girl some halt an inch less—the range of health lying between teen to twenty-two inches. The child grows with rapidity dur- ing the first year, faster than during any other period of the same length, so that it gains about eight Inches, measuring when twelve months old about twenty-seven inches, its weight being about nineteen pounds. During the second year it gains only four | Inches on an average, and five pounds in welght, reaching a stature of thirty-cne inches ‘and a weight of twenty-four pounds. But these figures represent cnly the average, the extreme ranging: between wide limits. A fact that is seldom taken into consideration with children, with regard to their welght and plumpness, i3 tHat about their second year, when they are learning 1o walk, they become thinner, not because they deteriorate in lealth, but through the increased exer- cise using up more of the tissues forming the muscles of the body. e . The Odds Too Great, A good story is told on a prominent gen- tleman who has on several occasions been a candidate before the people for official hon- ors. The gentleman is a smart politician and knows how to seeure votes, or at all eveuts he has been successful at the polls, However, on one occasion the prominent gentleman admits to having met a smarter man. The latter approached him on election day with the statement that if he had some whisky he could vote a man for him, The candilate gave up half a dollar in compliance. Later in the day, meeting the smarter man again, the candidate greeted him with ““Well, 1 suppose you voted your man?" ““No," came the response, “‘the other fellow had a quart of whisky and voted me."” kit it by A sore throat or cough, if suffered (o progress, often results in incurable throat or lung trouble. “‘Brown’'s Bronchial Troches™ gives (nstant relie in are the fig- that i Capturing Turties.

When the sleeping turtles are seen they are cautiously approached, and as soon as they are judged near enough & reve is thrown into the sea. Upon percelving the turtle, its instinet teaches it to swim right toward it and fix itself firmly upon the creature by its sucking disk. Sooner would the reve allow itself to be pulled to pieces than to give up its grip. A ring attached to the tail of the fish, in which a string is fastened, allows the fisherman to pull in his prize. By a peculiar manipulation the reve is pulled oft and returned 1o the tub to be ready for use THE BICYCLE IN WAR. An English Experiment to Demonstrate Tts Usefulnes of fling has increased with such astonishing rapidity as to have become cne of the distinguishing features of modern society. The comncction of this t with the development of extended | system of good roads, says the New York Post, I8 obviously very close, and as the roads of this count! are still to a great ex tent {ll-constructed, the use of the bi- cycle may be regarded as here in its Infancy In the older countries, where the density of population is such as to make the expense of building perfect roads tol- crable, bicyclers have multiplied to such an extent as to far outnumber, apparently, those who use horses. One satisfactory re- sult of this new stem for tourists prom- Ises to be the rehabilitation of the wayside inn; an institution which wa practically ruined in this country by the decay of the age coach. An experiment recently tried in England shows that it is not improbable that the art of war may receive some mod- ification from this new method of move- ment. A club of cyclisis The practice an wishing to show what might be dome in the way of carrying dis- patches in time of war when other means | of communication had broken down, asked | the war office to let them carry a dispatch from London to Edinburgh and bring back a reply. The war ofiice, with the usual stupidity of a government bureau, declined to have anything to do with the matter, but it was arranged” with the Pall Mall Ga: zette that their offices In the two cities should be used as term Relays of lists, riding in pairs to avold loss of time by accident, were duly stationed, and the let- ter once starfed was carried through Eng land, as the Spectator says, llke a fiery 0ss, The weather was extremely bad the rain falling in torrents and a head wind being encountered all the way to Edin- burgh. Nevertheless, between 10 o'clock of a Thursday morning and of the next urday the dispatch was carried to fts destination and the answer brought back. The distance of 800 miles was thus covered in fifty-two hours and twenty-seven minutes, an average of fiftcen and one-quarter miles an hour. In the very best days of coach- ing the shortest time made between London and Edjnburgh weas forty-two hours nd twenty-three minutes. Such a result as this will open the eyes of the war offices of the continent if not of England, It indicates that we may presently see bodies of cy attached as orderlies 1o the staff of every general. Nor is it improbable that such a body would not take the place, for many purposes, of cavalry. The same causss that lead men to seil their horses and take to bicyeles will be operative in military econ- om In this peaceful land we may not witness such a_development of bicycling a this, but we shall be contented if it lead to the improvement of our roads and hos telries, ———— JOHN L.’S BELT. Indications that the Champlonship Trophy is Mortgaged to a Saloon Keeper. John L. Sullivan’s $10,000 champlonship belt has been missing for some time from Charley Johnson’s saloon at Fulton and Sands streets, Brooklyn. Jimmy Murray, Johnson's head bartender, grows indignant when asked if it is true, as reported, that Sullivan owes so much money to the sporting salcon keeper that the belt is actually “in hock.” He has for days been declaring, ac cording to the Brooklyn Citizen, that ‘‘the belt is all right, only it's been s:nt to be cleaned.” Johnton varies this somewhat by saying: 1 put the thing in the safe the other day and it hasn't been brought out yet.” All the same the talk among Brooklyn Eports indicatcs that Sullivan's pecuniary in- terest in the belt has disappeared, having been replaced by loans and credit given by the genial Charley. Many who have seen tha emblem think it a “fake” affair, but it is not. It did not cost $10,000, was given out at the time, but it did cost $6,500, and the diamonds in it arc genuine. It was paid for by Sullivan’s Boston fricnds and was presented to him in the opera house in that city by Mayor O'Brien, in July, 1884, It is of ‘solid gold and was made in New York. That it been a big advertisement for Johnson’s saloon any one can well imagine. Sul'ivan visited Johnson's place the other evening, but it wasn't the Sullivan of old. 1t was a man unshaven, with a beer-stained suit of gray clothes, a soiled shirt and a battered straw hat. It wasn't the Sullivan who in_his heyday used to be followed by hundreds on his rounds, There wasn't the popping of corks and shouts of laughter. Thera wasn't the struggle for introductions and hand shakings and privileges of treating There was curiosity to see the man in the days of his downfalling—that was all.

He was truly a pitiable sight, and seemed to realize it after awhile himself. An effort he made at a snatch of a song ile in the little back room died away on his swollen lips and then he “‘gagged.” The glass of liquor he had on the table before him became offensive and was dashed to the floor, glass and all. Ho became lost to tho world, and “Jimmy" Murray, with an eve 1o business, helped him back to his eab. Not until the latter had disappeared in a rattle over the bridge did Johnson come down stairs. e had learned of Sullivan’s condition and didn't want to see nm, L FINEST TOMB IN AMERICA. 25,000 Mausolenm in Which a Balit morean Is to Lald, A mausoleum to hold the body of Fred- erick Do Courcey May is nearly finished in Bonnie Brae cemetery. It will cost $25 and is said by a correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat to be the finest tomb in the United States. The structure is mod- eled on pure classical lines.

The only other material di tinetly visible in the structure is a heavy bronzo doorway, paneled and ornamented with a cross, which cost $1,000. The walls are nearly two feet hick. They are built of blocks of marble, extending through from interior to exterior, built up solidly from the ground, and only plerced by the doorway and several small grated windows under the eaves. The interior is rubbed smooth. The windows are five by threa each, and are cut through solid stone, our immense marble slabs, each weighing ten tons, form the celling. These stones are twelve feet long four feet six inches wide, and three feet thick. Above the celling is a pitched roof, also of stone, and having six windows to correspond with the windows In the ceiling, Plate glass, one inch thick, is fitted in the inner and outer windows.
