How Lon Stephens Met Maurace Vig-! naux the French Billiard Expert. Jefferson City Tribune, State Treasurer Lon V. Stephens tells the following good story on himself: “I took in the Paris exposition in 1877, and spent a month a the French capital. I had just finished college before taking this trip,where I thought I had learned more at billiard playing than anything else. I was playing at the game alone one morning in the billiard parlors of the Grand Hotel, Paris, when an el- egant French gentleman approach- ed me ina modest and most apolo getic manner, and, in broken En glish with a decided French accent, asked me if I would do him the honor to allow him to join me ina little game of billiards ‘for the ci- gars.’ Itold him that I would do so with pleasure. I really thought from the humble manner of the Frenchman that I had a ‘pudding’ as the college boys used to say. We played along for about twenty min. utes, and the gentleman beat me just one point. He remarked that he had very fine luck, but would be pleased to try just onemore. I thought it likely that I had about enough, and didn’t decide to play again, until he proposed to ‘roll them for a bottle of wine, 25 or no count.’ I chalked my cue and lit in but he managed by some very good luck to beat me just two or tbree points. I was in the ace of putting up my cue, when he urged me to play one more—this time he to make ‘50 or no count. for the wive.’ inci- dentally remarking that he wanted me to win, and then we would be about even. I yielded, only to lose again. He the same terms, bat not accepting. he proposed to play 100 or no count—then 200—then 300—finally 500 or no count. I took him up on the last proposition, not believing it possible for avy living player to make so many on one run. We roll- ed for the first shot,and the Frenen- ERG | insisted on another oa man got it. Ichalked up, but never | got the pleasure of using my cue, as the rascal made the run of 500 as} easily as he made the run of 25 in the previous game. After complet- ing the run, he had nerve enough to ask me if would have another? We were playing with four balls. I ask- ed for my bill, which was $23.50 in | our money. After paying the bil, my newly made friend asked me if I was not an American. I didn't know whether there was any satire in the question or not, but I embarrassing- ly admitted that I was, and asked him who he was. He took out a card from his top vest pocket, which read in English: MAURACE VIGNAUX, Grand Hotel, Paris, France. Champion Billiard Player of the World. I bowed as politely as possibly to the gentleman, and remarked that I} was very happy to meet him—sorry experience I soured on billiards, and ; the stranger doesn’t live who could inveigle me into a game now.” More Spotted Eever. Louisville, Ky., Feb 22.—The spotted fever plague mentioned in these dispatches to the Republic as raging near Paducah, has broken out in Butler county.

H. L. FUCKER. I-41 \ Province of the Press, Cheyenne, Wyo, Feb. 23.—Editcr Carroll of the Leader, was acquitted to day of the charge of libel prefer- red by Clark E. Dodge, whom the Leader stated was connected with the attempt to drug Senator Kime. The judge stated that it is the duty of newspapers to expose the tricks of fly by-night statesmen like Dodge, who hang upon the outskirts of leg- islative bodies to do questionable acts. The evidence he said was stronger that Dodge furnished the doctored cocktail to drug Kime than that there was any malice in the pub- | lication of the fact. The testimony in the case exon- | erates Senator Kabis who was charg- ed by a legislative committee and reprimanded by the senate for ccm plicity in the attempted drugging. An Important Difference.

Fort Scott, Kan., Feb. 24.—Detec-| ives to day, assisted by the police, raided the house of William Bidwell who claimed to be a special agent of the National Detective agenecy in this city, which had been closely scrutinized for some days. It was found to be a rendezvous for anum ber of professional burglars, who evidently had operated in many dif- ferent parts of the state. A large amount of valuable jewelry, new wholesale bulks, razors, watches and pistols were found in different parts of the house. Much of the stuff has been identified by Fort Scott mer- chants, but there remains unclaimed a valuable lot of merchandise which must have been stolen elsewhere. Bidwell bas implicated in the rob beries a man named Thomas Munson who had been occupying the house with him but who escaped. One of Pleasant Hill's plucky young women was the other evening aroused by a noise at the window, and dimly saw a man’s face peeking through the blind. She silently crept out of bed, and reaching the window, popped up like “jack in a- box,” with a sudden “boob!” The man dropped as though shot, and fled. No doubt he thought it was a spook.—Pleasant Hill Gazette.
