An ili-feeling that has existed some time between the heads of the detective agen- eies of the eity culminated last night in a disgraceful fisticuff eucounter, the partic- ulars of which would require more than the skill of cither of the contestants to make public. At a few minutes past 8 o’clock J. J. Nehgh, chief of the Western Detaotive association, wus measuring his length on the sidewalk in front of the Drum saloon on Farnam street, near Boyd's opers house.

Disreputable Men Who Helped Folst Howe on the People. BeaTrICE, Neb.,Sept27.—To the Editors Our congressional convention is s thing of the past. The wounded were duly re moved and will recover so as to be at the polls in November. Church Howe for congress was brought about by improper and impure. methods, and in such & mamer as to bring dis- honor to the republican party. Itis well known that Howe spent nearly a week here before and during the duys, of i the. most_ disgraceful ‘primary. ever-held in- Nebraska, at which the best class of re- publicans were kept from voting by one Noonan and his drunken crowd in the mterests of Howe and Colly. Look at the character of some of the delegates of Gage county who voted for Church Howa and who ex all of us republicans to support the nomination.. One of the delegates to the congres- slonal convention was some months ago shot while uttempting to enter a house of ill-repute near Beatrice, wiile one of His companions on_that oceasion Was also & delegate. A thivd member of the same disreputable gang was a whipperin atthe disgraceful primary and _cheered on the dirty work of “Noonan'' when he was voting his drunken non-resident bum- mers for Howe and Colly. Respectable republicans are disgusted at being com- pelled to have such beings attempt to represent them or the republican party in‘any convention, as well as Mr: Barker in assisting such ‘men to any position. When Mr. Barl was indited by fed- eral authority while holding a federal office here, he had the: sympathy of our best citizens who believed him innocent but they did not believe. that he could. stand up 1 our county convention and advocate the election of such degraded beings to any political position. Qur re- publican papers here seem to care noth- ing for his'dirty work, and their editors may feol proud of being rep- resented in convention by such charac- as ubove deseribed, but n any member of a church, any respectabl con who deiights in Honor, integrity and virtue, any temperate man, whether a prohibitionist or not, support the entire republican ticket when con- summated by such methods and uader fluences. 1 we ever expeet a repetition of the old-time honesty and purity of the old republican party with- rowning down such actions, and de- ing candidates so dishonestly | 1 ore us, What is best for us? what is Lest for our party? what is best for our country, to vote the ticket or called a “bolter? Every intelli, citizen, every honest man, every well wisher of his country can at once give the answer, Billiards and Bool. The advont of passing cold nights gen- crally brightens up the gas lights of the billard room and turns the attention of the attaches of the tip, ehalk and sich.

The latter consisted f three wheels and apartments for hold- ing blankets,sutehels, ete., and for sleep ing, It was so arranged that in wot weather the persor. using it could walk along under cover of ibber awning, The entire outfit weighed but twe sounds. The *‘dormo wagon,’ Ricalton termsit, was propelled by being pushed along, and not, as is generally supposed, on'tue principle of ths modern tricycle. The wagon could be taken t and placed in a small box. Mr. Ricalton left home June 12 and sot suil on the Aurania, of the Cunard line for Liverpool, On’ arriving on British soil he proceeded to Hull and embarked on a sailing vessel for Archangel, I two wecks in the Aretic Ocean in the land of the midmght sun.

The school replied that he realized the di e under which he worked, butiwas now the more anxious to accomplish his mission on that ac. count. Through 800 miles of & wild and desolat ion he pushed his “dorno wagon,” with no other weanon than a spear, with which he expected to repulse the wolves, and a revolver to protect him- sel inst the perils that be travelers in that section. During the journcy he suflered much from the heat, whicn, dur- ing the day, was excessive. At night it was cool and pleasant.

Mr. Ricalton was provided with food, but would procure milk and bread from the natives in small towns along the route. He reached St. Petersburg Au- gust 11—after nearly a month’s_steady tramp. He found several le,ters in wait- ing for him at St. Pel burg, He after- wards paid a visit to Norwany and Sweden and other points bufore starting for Liverpool.
