R, Annarnoxo, [ The Grand Confidence Game that e |THE FOOLS ARE NOT ALL DEAD YET. | was Played by the ‘Great. ‘ European Wizard."” | Some four or five weeks ago a woman about forty or fifty years of age, named Mitchell, came to Omaha, accompanied by a carpenter, who passed himself off as her husband. Madame Mitchell professed to be one of the most wonderful fortune tellers of the age, able to lift the veil from the misty future, and to relate in detail the events of the past, and also to effect the most remarkable cures. She advertised extensively as the “Great European Wizard,” who could see the nature, cause and time of all events and mysterious circums stances at every age of life; describe all things, persons and character, and exact location of buried treasures; show a correct likeness of yous: future partuer in her celebrated Rock Dia- mond; bring about wonderful recon- ciliations between estranged las dies and” gentlemen, &c., and it Was not long before her rooms on Tenth street were crowded by the people of both sexes, of all ages and color,®rich and poor, all of whom, either out of faith in the advertised powers of the “Great European Wiz- ard,” or else out of mere curiosity, paid her fees, some of which were quite large, in order to have their fortunes told, or some chronic disease cured. Madame Mitchell, who aimed to have been born uuder a lucky star, reaped a rich harvest from the crop of fools who visited her. Yosterday she concluded that it was about time to pack up and travel, as many of her victims were begioning to smell a mouse, as her predictions failed to come true, and her cures were all a sham, So lust evening vhe and her husband pur- chased tickets for Chattanooga, at the St. Joe ticket office, and left this morning at five o’clock over the Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluffy railway. At the time they bought their tickets they expressed a desire that nothing should be said about 1t. This roused the suspicion of a gentleman who overheard the re« quest, and he warned their boarding- house keeper, who, however, stated that they had always paid their bills in advance. This they could afford to do, as their revenue from the army of the fools who beseiged their rooms, was immense, But the sequel of their sudden de- parture transpired this morning. It was ludicrous in the extreme—in fact, we feel ourselt unable to do the matter justice. Suffice it to say, that the victims swarmed about the house, anxiously inquiring for the “Great European Wizard,” and ench sighing over the loss of their money, taken from them by this bold confidence woman. Among the motley crowd were noticed a colored woman and her daughter, who had paid Madame Mitchell $25 to have her cure some disease which afflicted the diughter. The disease was worse than ever, and they both wanted bick their money. Another vicdm, a white woman, was lamenting the loss of $10; a young man who had contributed fifteen dol- lars to this huge fraud, wore a woe- begone expression on his countenance, Others, among whom were some very respectable appearing people, came to the houss, and made anxious inquir- ies for the “Great European Wizard,” and when they learned that she hiad gone, they discrectly concealed their vexation, and re- turned home sadder, wiser and poor- er men and women, The number of people that were victimized by this quack and fortune- telling fraud is very large,~-larger by far than any one would suppose. Should the fool-killer visit Omaha at the present time he would Lave an extensive job on his hands, S SCHOOL BOOKS!!-~The BEST BOOK STORE to buy them, is at the BAZAR.

Jouddis DETECTED. | | A Bold Confidence Game Brought to Light. Some months ago, our readers will | remsmber that we mentioned the fact of the arrest of Jack McDonald, | a notorious three-eard moste man of this city, by one Thomas Smith, of Abilene, Kansas, where McDonald | formerly resided, and where, becom. | ing involved in some difficulty, he | was obliged to give $300 honds for his appearance at the District Court. His bondsmen were Thos. Smith, E. P. Wilson, then editor of the Abilene Chronicle, but now editor and pro- | prietor of the Topeka 7ines, and an-~ other man, McDonald forfeited his bonds and came to Omaha. Smith was sent after him by the other two bondsmen. After McDonald was ar« rested, his Omaba friends raised the five hundred dollars for him, and one hundred dollars besides with which to pay all his expenses, and thus obtained his release without his ing taken out of the city. This oney was all paid over to Smith, who returned to Abilene, and repres sented to his associatos on the bond, that he could not find MecDonald, and did not receive a cent at Omaha, He demanded and obtained from his associates the sum of one hundred dollars, as the ‘expenses of the trip: they also were obliged to pay their portion of the bond. They dis- covered some time afterwards that game; and they accordingly deter- mined to bring him to justice. Mr. Wilson arrived in town a large amount of testimony in the shape of depositions from parties who whole affair. This testimony will be used against Smith next Tuesday in court at Abileno. self, ex-City Marshal Kimball, and other parties, all testify to the fact that the money was paid to Smith, who, it is.claimed, made nearly seven hundred dollirs by the operation, Mr. Wilson, returned to Kansas to- day, determined to have justice dealt played a very mean and dishonest game.
