Squlre, 102 Pearl t. A buggy horse belonging to E. D. F. Flsher was taken suddenly slok Satur- day, and dled yesterday. 1t 1s about time that some tramps were run in, and set at work cleaning off the mud from the paved streets. Tho saloons are to have until 10 o'slock to-morrow morning In which to take In enough money to retire on. Two dranks constitated the business of the superlor court yesterday morning. Rather slim for a Monday. The new jall has not got its heating apparatus in yet, and cannot be occupled until that s ready, which will be some time this weelk. The board of supervisors met yester- day, but did little business, and will con- tinue thelr dolngs to-day, snd will prob- ably inspect the new jail. Chlef Skinner's team of lttle mules aotually run away yesterday. As was to e expected, the only sensational feature of the {tem was that they run, A team attached to a hay rack took a whirl yesterday, and collided with & vog- etable wagon near tho Rescue engine house, demolishing the latter quite badly. J. H. Hallalli and Matilda Buckley, of St. Joseph, got a marriage license here the other day. It Is sald that he is a colored preacher at St. Joe, and that tho match s a romantlo, runaway one. Two young fellows who drive express and hacks, M. Smuthers and F'. Weather- bee, got into a scuffls with their whips, and one chased the other into the Ogden house, and both got Into the cooler. The work on Second street was to have begun to.day, if the weather had been favorable. The sewer will first be lald, and the paving will follow rapidly. Some of the materlal has arrived, and all that 1s necessary now for the rapld progress of the work Is fair weather. The creditors of C. P. Wills, bf Tabor, have pounced down upon him and clesed him up. He hasbeen in the boot, shoe and harness bu:iness there for years, and has many friends who will gladly help him start up again, and he will doubtless soon be ready for business once more. In the clrcult court yesterdsy morning an attempt was made to get Judge Con- nor to dlssolve the Injunction restralning ‘Willlam Brix from ronning a saloon, It ‘waa claimed that the attorney employed by Brix to look after the matter was ab- sent at the tlme the Injunction was granted, and the matter went by default, but the judge refased to sot it aslde, eo the Injunctien sticks, The prohibitionlsts are happy at seelng the way the saloon men are quarrelling among themselves, They get from this more comfort than from any other phase of the conteat. The quickest way to get the saloons stopped is to have the men who are In the business pulling each others hair, but the saloon men do not seem to be able to see it. ‘Wall McFadden has a pretty fair volce as court balliff, bat he cannot make his tones reach to Minden, He stood at the door yesterdasy morning yelling for an absent juryman, In the caze of Stone against the city, the absentes balng at home In Minden, and not able to get here before noon. The case by content went on with eleven jurymen, and ocon- sumed the rest of the day. These raloy nights serve to impress the people with the Inconvenience of doing without street lights, With muddy crozs- Ings and a black eky the amount of re- liglon that is lost by those who have to wander home after dark Is alarming, It 1s almost useless to hold SBunday night wervioes at the churches, as what good is {mpressed on the mind s qulokly effaced by the trip home through the dark and mlre, The number of saloons which pald . cense In August is twenty-nine. Thus pald for September. There are In the clty slxty-five saloons, or places where drinks are sold. O! the gombling houses three pald license fn Au- gust, and for this month only one has pald. Of the houses of prostitutlon thres pald in August, and none this month, Sach are the statistios on which the proe- lamation ls fseued. The projecs of openiug First avenue from Maln streel to Banoroft 1s still be- ing conslderad, and subscriptions are be- ing eecared, The purpose Is to open the streot for a width of thirty-five foet, which would take Brown & Meyers coal office and yard and would not Interfere ‘with the brick buildings on each side of that. The strect at this width would not ©ost much, and each year wakes it & more wostly enterprise, and now there are few TFAitor and Lessee. permanent improvements which would be disturbed. The chief drawback to the plan is the present condition of the city financss, which necessitates the curtail ment of expenses as far as possible. The street should be opened, and the sooner the cheaper, but whether the olty can af. ford to at present Is a query. Some wag who had not the fear of the court before his eyes yesterday placed on the table of Olerk Shes a number of wal- nuts, where they conld tempt the fingers of those who oame up to the ¢esk on busl- ness, One by one the nuts were sneaked off the table and quletly cracked, only to reveal to the victlm the dreary fact that the meat had been taken all out, and the shells neatly glued together sgaln, Stifled mirth was heard murmuring In different parts of the court room as one after another was thas sold. The property owners along Bancroft streot are considerlng the advisability of paving that street from Broadway to Willow avenue. This Improvement, together withthe opening of First avenue, would make that part of the olty very valuable, and It would soon be in demand for business purposes. A number of the owners of property have algeady ex- preesed thelr willlngness to stand the ex- pense of paving, and {t is possible that the improvement may bs made this season, Poor Joe Oalnne, the Italian fruit denaler, who has just had so costly a lesson in what 1t costs to go t5 law, Is In hard luck, While standing by his frult a fel- low named Dalhaney began helping him- self to some peaches, and Joe protesting, the fellow went for him, pounding him up until even the attorneys could hardly recognize him, Dalhaney said In court that he could not make Joe understand that he wanted to buy the peaches, and that Joe came for him with a broom, and that this led to hls atriking back. The court fined Delhaney and Joe went off to nurse his sore head. At frequent Intervals the chlef of po- lice has a *'rounding up” time, and tries to clear the clty of the loafers and hangerz-on about the gambling houses. At such times of clearing out, the pro- prietors of gambling houses aro called on to hand in a list of those employed in the houses, so that the others may be warned toleave, Iilsclalmed that soms have been put on theee lists of employes, and thus protected from arrest, who are not thus employed, and that fellows who | fra ought to be run out of the clty, or made to go to work are sheltered by the.in- dulgence of some of the keepers. The complaint should be looked into, and if any one Is thus glving protection to such persons, they should be promptly in- cluded in the mayor's proclamatlon. The little mayor In his evening ‘paper explains that his proclamation means olmply what Tae BeE said in Its head line, *‘Pat up or shut up,” and that the saloons which paid should be allowed to run. He yesterday was declaring freely and above board that ualess the council passed a formal resolutlon, requesting him, the mayor of my olty, to let those who had paid continue to ran, he would shut up everything tight. Even if such a resolution should be passed, he did not know as he would consent to let them run, Itseems that the mayor wants to have the people, and especlally the saloon men and gamblers realize that 1f they keep on In tusiness, it will be by his royal permission. If he wants to take the responsibility, he should certalnly be allowed to do so, and take whatever honor he may think there is attached to the regponatbllity. The Sunday services of St. Paul's church ase beilng held in the Masonlo hall, the old church belng sold and moved, and the new one not belng finished. The rector having returned last week from his Earopean trlp, last Sunday was the first on which services have been held for some time. All the arrangements had not been perfected for holding the services there, and the choir had not been organized, but the Rev, Mr, Mackey Is ready for any emergency, and besides preaching two excellent ser— mons and oconducting the wservicer, he presided at the organ andled the slnging, It is expected that all needed detalls will be provided for by next Sun- dsy, but whether 8o or not, the church can well congratulate themselves on haviog a restor who can do any sort of church work. It Is this readiness to take hold anywhere and everywhere which is making him so valuable to the work here. FLYING LIGHT. Oarpenter’s Minstrel Show Comes to Grief Here, Carpenter's minstrels strack hard bot- tom, finanolally, in this olty. They showed to a rather slim house here Sat- urday night, and not belng able to meet thelr bllls, attachments and other troubles followed. They shipped their trunks and other property to Omaha, and the attachments belng of no avail & war- rant was issued for the arrest of Jerome Carpenter aud John Maon on the charge of defrauding the Paclfic houss out of s board bill of $95, The two men were found on the dammy bound for Omahs, and were brought baok, together with a big base dram, which was the only thlng to be had. Mann was locked up, and Oarpen- tor was allowed to hunt about for the meavs of settling. Arrangements were made to glve ano her show last evening in the tope of sscurlog some funds that way, aud oon as this was known, at- tl:{munh were lssued for the recelpts to pay the local musicisus who played for 1he Saturdsy night show, Tais fs a poor year for shows that sre flying light.

The Pecnliar Workings of City License Under State Prohibition, An Official Tangle, The llcense question 1s not only caus- ing & commotion among the saloon men, but also among the gamblers. Many do not know how it Is that the city manages to get a llcense from the gamblers, when there is a state law against that businees, The mode pursued here for some time Is pecullar. The olty passed an ordinance fixing oertain penalties for gambling, and onoe & month there are informations made out agalnst the keepers of such houses, charging them with violating thls ordl. nance. The keepers of gambling houses appear to answer to this oharge, and in- stead of trying the case, a continuance 1s had to a certaln day, and the keeper is 1s called on to put up §64 10 for his ap- pearance on that day. Of course he does not appear, and the money is forfelted, and goes Into the olty treasury. This amount Is rea'ly $50 and costs a month, It seems conceded that the ordinanco would not stand in the upper courts, as the council has no right to pars an ordl- nance providing punishment for offenses wh'ch are to be trled and punished under the state Iaw. No one would claim that the city could pass an ordlnance provid- ing a fine for burglary, the fine to go into the city treasury, and the city would doubtloss walk lame if It tried to enter one of the courta with this gambling or- dinance on its back. The ofty therefore does not care to fight the cases under this ordinance. Tho gamblers, however, are In no bet- tor condlition to fight the matter. They do not oare to bo prosecuted under the state law, and are willlng to bs just let alone by the clty, and to pay for the prlvilege of ranning, In paying the $50 a month they are careful not to make ony record sagalnst themselves, and do not plead gullty, the record simply show- ing that they falled to appear for trial, and that thelr money was therefore for- felted. Both sldes belng therefore afrald to have a legal fight, and eack side balng anxlons for peace, one wantlng revenue, the other to be lat alone, this plan has been pursued, Now a break {s threatened. It s un- derstood that some of thoze who are keep- Ing gnmhllnfi houses have not pald, and say they will stand tight. This may be one of the reasons why “‘I, the Mayor,” says that he will close them all up, Those who have pald insist that it is not falr to close them, and that those only should be closed which refuss to pay. Thoze who refuse to pay claim to be eager for the . “Talk about thelr fighting,” sald an old veteran of the turf to a BEE msn yesterday, *‘they don’t know what fight means. Why, when they see the roof flying off, the windows being smashed in, and the chips flying through the alr, a8 I have seen, they won’t be 2o anxious for fight. I tell you the best way is to just step up to the front and psy when called on, and be thankful that you can he protected. The saloon men ought to pay, too, and not say a word. They can well sfford to pay, if they are allowed to ran, The trouble is that there are a lot of foolish fellows who want to have everything thelr own way, or else they kick, Anybody who is ranning a businees which {sn’t allowed by law had better pay what the councll says, and had better comply with all the requirements, and they can thus keep friends with the citi- zons, The clty needs money, and those who run such kinds of business will pay. if they know when they are well off. Don't talk to me about fighting the city. I've been there, and I don’t want any more of it. I am always thankfal to have the clty take a licenss and recognize the business.” The feeling is qulte geueral that if the saloons and gambling houses run they should pay, but as to just what the mayor intends by his proclamation is a matter on which all sorts of guesses are Indulged in. There good deal of curlosity as to what will develop to-morrow, for everything is ordered to close atter 10 o'clock in the morning. Under the atate law the mayor can file Informations and geot search warrants and pat the police to raiding the ealoons and gobbling up all the llquora they canfind, but whether he has the nerve to try this summary pro- ceedlng or not 1s yet to be seen. ~ Such proceedings will doubtless cause a com- motlon, but may end In bringing the saloons to rights, The proclamation has been criticlsed because 1t did not simply order the olos: ing of such places as hu{ not paid a Il- cense, Those who have pald say that they should nct be compelled to shut up, after the olty has taken their money, Such a sentiment meots with favor with many outsiders, the ides of placing those who do as required by the clty, in the same llst as those who refase so to do, not seeming to be just. —— Avoca Items.

Some Intorestiog Gossip Abont Men and Matters in Fremont Conaty, ‘What an Old Stager Knows, Hawmpura, Iowa, Sept 7.—Polltical matters are boglnnlng to agitate our olti- zens onoe more, Belng a oasual observer, we got a few ltems for your readers. This belng the year for the eleotion of state senator from Page and Fremont, the ropublicans of this county are already manlfesting a very noticeable degree of unrest, lest Page with her fifteen to our | el ten votes, will again (as In all time past) gobble the senator in aplte of earnest pro- test, to say nothing of the justness of the clalms of this county. It has been ra- mored that Page county pollticlans had planned to tender this placo to Fremont on condition they could agree on a man, which av times locks qulte Improbable. The name of Presldent Brcoks, of Tabor, has been mentloned, and his friends are over on the alert to shape clrcumatances in his favor and this earnestness on their part at times assumes such a pitch that 1t 1s suspected they are am- bitlous to make hls present position a stepping atone to something higher, and farolsh an opening for another man to | take the leadership of Tabor college. The feeling of brotherly friendship between Prestdent B, and Major Anderson {8 not known to be of the very passionate char- acter, and untll the gallan: major moves out or jolns the greenbackers, President Brook’s chances are dim even in the dis- tance. County slates are being fixed up, sev- eral places are not yet settled mpon. It is acknowledged by all that a fusion will be effected betweon the greenbackers and democrats. The greenbackers will doubt- loes name Tom Howard, a farmer of Lo- cust Grove towuship, for sher ff, and J. A, Gray for trensurer, while the demo- orats are talking of putting up Amos Stafford, again for either tremsurer or member of the board; Sam Chandler will expect to kpock the audltorship while tha ropresentative is still among the uncertainties. For county ruperin- tendent, among those named ars W, B, Meeks, of Scott, E. A. Wemple and C. Vincent of Ross, and Grubba of Monroe, and the republicans seem to be declded on a new man for the same position, Mero Webster for treasurer and Granville Mann for representative, sppear to be the extent of republican probabilities at present. It is thought that the mud- slinging method ol conducting campaigns will be 1aft to characterize times that are past, and not to be agaln Indulged in so extensively, The people are awaking to the Importance of thelr own Interests, and 1t Is conceded by all parties that to put up a lawyer for representative or senator will be fatal to which ever party undertakes it. Shoold T. E OClark, of Olarinds, be the nominee of the republl- can convention, the indications polnt strongly to D. P, Wil- son, of Farragut, to represent the opposition, 8o much for politics. In mattere of crops, corn never looked better, the late ralns do not promise well, but It is not too late yet. In some locslities losses from hog “cholera have been very severe, especially in Riverside and Green townships. District and clty schools are opening now all over the county. Tabor college beglns its fall term next week, and pros-: pects are said to be quite promliaing for & full attendance—more than common, Durig the recent vacation some changes have been made In the faculty, Professor Houghton retiring, to enable him to go wostand take upland and inprove a farm.
