The crowd of fakirs and crooks who were here at the last circus, followed it to_Denison, evidently, from the howl raised by the press of that place. One unfortunate citizen of Denison lost £80 on one of the games, and many lost smaller amounts. ~ One burglary is reported also.

He has one lecture on the “‘Prodigal Duughter.,” He1s said to have stolen adiploma and some medical books from Dr, P. A.

Public Improvements. The eity improvements consist largely this season in building sewers. There are several miles of sewer contracted for, a portion of which 1s already in course of construction, Work is proceeding on Fifth avenue, also in Glendale, and on Mynster street. The pipe is being laid on the ground for the Willow avenue sewer, and work of construction will soon commence there. The pipe has been ordered for Harrison and Bluff streets. ‘The work on Ninth avenue will begin very soon at the west end, in order to accommodate the canning factory, as specdily as possible, ‘The ‘paving contracts are being held oft to reserye energies for the yaving of Broadway to the river. The city will have to pay for the intersections, while the rest will be charged up to the abut- ting property. « The city is reserving its financial resources so as to crowd this work along as soon asit1g needed, There will be some other paving done this sea- son, but no long lines until this is out of the way. RO T A Queer Accident, Mrs. Adams and Mis. Joe Morris met with an accident while out driving yes- terday. They were visiting Mrs. Morris’ father, in the country, and in starting for the city put some avples in the buggy. The apples began rolling about, frighten- Ing the horse by the noise. He made a short run, and smashed the buggy. Both ladies were somewnat bruised, but their injuries are not serious, e il A Slick Theft. Mr. J, J. Morgan, a stock dealer of Battle Creek, was robbed of his pocket— book on a Northwestern traiu, near Den- ver, a few days ago. His total loss was avout $1,500, fully $300 of which was cash. In presenting his mileage ticket, Morgan laid his pocketbook beside "him on the seat, wherecunon a stranger sit- ting in the next seat, carelessly threw his coat over the book, and the absent- minged stock dealer forgot all about it until near Council Bluffs, when he be- though t himself of his carelessness only to find the coat in his possession and the pocketbook and the stranger gone. The card of a prominent citizen of Dow City was found in the coat, and Goldheim’s brand on the collar. Conductor Paine at once notified Sheritf Muuuui‘l to look up the remainder of the suit. He found it. ‘The owner of the card appeared 1n Deni- son wearing pants and vest that matched the coat. Yun inquiry, however, it was learned that his coat had been stolen thet day of the crime, and that the adro: thief had systematically tried to deflect suspicion upon one of the most respecta- ble gentlemen in Dow Cit; A Penniles Woman A destitute woman, giving her name as Mrs, Snell, has been cared for by the police for a day or two. She claims to be from Denver, and is trying to get to Ottumwa, Ia., where she has friends. She says her husband mortgaged every- thing, even to their clothing, and then skipped out, leaving her penniless. She is accompanied by a little boy, and is in a condition to indicate that within a few days she will be accompanied by another child. An attempt was made to get Mr. Hardin, as superintend®nt of the poor, to buy her a ticket to send her on her way, but he could not see that the county money should be expended for that pur- pose. The city marshal took up a colleg- tion yesterday for this purpose. What- ever may be thought concerning the truth of the woman’s story, it is evident that she ig in a condition which demands care and attention. e A Financial Pinch. The news of the financial troubles of L. W. Russell, of Glenwood, is surpris- ing to many. He is one of the best known business mer: of that place, and has been considered solvent and with a good-sized surplus. It is announced that he has now been securing most of his creditors, hav- ing turned over about $70,000 in prop- erty, which reaches within a few thou- sand dollars of the total amount of his indebtedness. Mr. Russell is said to have lost heavily on the board of trade m Chicago, and that these losses have re- sulted in his recent action. He was in this city yesterday arranging his affairs, and several Council lfiuffi houses are financially interested. The M 'y Prizes. There is a mystery attending the prizes awarded to the military companies which entered the competitive drill at the driving park on the Fourth of July. Two companies from out of the city and one local company drilled, and it was generally advertised and understood that the first prize was $100, the second $50 and the third $235. The ten men who had charge of the' driving park deny that they ever offered any such vrizes. They sav they are willing to pay the money if it can be shown that any one of the ten authorized the giving of vrizes. The committee having in charge the celebration also deny having author- ized any such offer. In fact, there is a %cncrnl hunt for the man who promised the military compames any prizes, It seems that the driving ciation supposed mittee on ocelebration had made arrangements for this competitive drill, and the committee took it for granted that the driving park association was offering the prizes. The militia who took part do not seem able to shoulder the responsibility out of one purson, but took it for granted that so long as it was 80 publicly advertised, it must be all right. ‘T'hey entered the drill and proved a very attractive feature of the day's en- tertainment, but there seems no money in sight.

Last evening there was not so large an attendance at the opera house as was supposed would be. The sclections were varied, and a high class of music was well readered. For so new an organiza- tion the band _almost phenom- enal in its renditions of diflicult musi¢. There were sixteen pieces last evening. ‘They appeared in their new uniforms and presented a fine appear- ance. Prof. Dalbey served as diréctor. His modesty should not have prevented one or more of his own compositions having been on the programme. Some of the best band music now played in the land is by him, and it would have made the entertainment still more_local :n its nature, The Dodge Light Guards gave an exhibition drill during the evening. THREE COLORED SPORTING MEN. Ex-Gov. Pinchback, John C. Alexan- der, and Col. Robert Harlan, Chicago Tribune: At the Palmer house one evening this week two gentlemen were playing billiards. The spectators were numerous, not from nn¥ excellence of play, however, and this fact nupcnlud to the curiosity of a man, who asked a bystander: “Why is there such an interest taken in that bil- lard game?" “Don’t you know who thatis playing?* was the reply. “‘Why, that man with the long-tailed coat, full beard, and bronzed complexion is no other than he who, at one time, just at the close of the war, b holding the oftice of governor of Louisi- ana, became one of the most widely talked about of Americans, You know that time when WillianrPitt Kellogg was such n power down there.” The inquirer did remember, and so proceeded to watch the playing of ex- Governor Pinchback. He saw before him a mosi gentlemanly like man, pos- sibly fifty years old, whose hair and whiskers had slightly turned, but with an erect form and commanding pres- ence. face denoted affability, an active temperament, and asmooth, oily disposition. His informer continned- *“The ex-governor is in Chi- cago in attendance at the races. Last year he was ‘on the box,’ as the book- makers say, This means that he was proprietor and manager of a bookmak- ing concern, Always a power with the colored people, it was lhuufiht that through the darkeys, so noticeubly eon- nected with everything i the racing line Mr. Pinchback was supplied with the very best of information. 1is record, however, has always been that of a man who put his money up ‘on the square,’ mull ouly strove to get it on the best ani- mal.” Another colored man who is always to be seen at Washington park is J. C. Alexander of Columbus,0. He is now the owner of a small stable, the best horse of which is Malaria. Alexander was watch- ing Pinchback’s game of billiards, and the man who was furnishing the infor- mation said: ‘*Alexander is a remark- able man, The keeper of the gaming Jhouse in the town where he lives, there has never been a time when he did not stand better with his fellow townsmen than any man dealingfaro. The patron- age of his establishment is largely that of the moneyed class. Like all other sporting men, he has had his ups and downs, but for the last few years he has been, as they say, ‘on top.’ The spring before Garticld’s nomination Alexander went up to the town of London, thirty miles from Columbus, and there won some hundreds of dollars against faro, his original stake being but u §2 note. Thence he attended the small running and trotting meetings in that section, and, pressing his luck, went to the Louis- ville races with several thousand dollars, By fall he had accumulated something lhike 30,000 A strong republican, he could see nothing in the Garlield-Han- cock race, but ‘Garfield first,’and, plung- ing on the event, the general’s success made of him quite a rich man. Since then he has been more conservative in his ventures, and all who knew him hope to see him always prosper. No matter what the nature of the transac- tion—cards, horses, busincss—there never was u fairer man to deal with than John Alexander, “‘But whereas with Governor Pinch- back be divides the honors at a race meeting, there is now a colored man in Chicago upon whom all people of his race look with respect, and who in poli- tical affairs, state and national, wields a power not inferior perhaps to that as- cribed to Fred Douglass. 'This is Colonel Robert Harlan of Cincinnati. Always a lover of the horse, Bob’s face has been seen for years upon the various race course: with money at his com- mand, he has been the joy of the pool- seller and the bookmaker. Readiness to wager the established odds is his charac- teristie, and when the horses are running he, from his commanding heighth being able to note their exact positions, always has a proposition to make. ‘Two to one Volante wius,’ changing rapidly to ‘five to one.' There is a record to the effect that he once lost a bet of one hundred to one by his horse falling midway of the stretch. But while to Pinchback and Alexander rucing is a_scheme to further financial interest, with Harlan it is pastime sought rather than gain, There are few men with such lion like features, raw bones and visible energy. The high cheek bones are rather of the Indian than the African race, and just such a chin it would be hard to find outside of a kennel of fighting dogs. Strength of character of the highest order is marked in every furrow of th An old man now, and wearing spectacles, still every move- ment partakes of the extremest vigor. Bob is a eyclone 1n Cincinnati polities, and even now holds the oflice of state senator—a good republican of course. He was one of the most enthusiastic par- tisans of Garfield, and upon Inaugura- tion day in Washington, where during the review before the white house he stood for hours near the president’s stand, he was the most delighted of spectators. -— Peculiar In the combination, proportion, and pre- paration of its ingredients, Hood's Sar- saparilla accomplishes cures where other preparations entirely fail.

Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most success- ful medicine for purifying the blood, iving strength, and creating an appe- tite. —— Tom Waller's First Romance. Philadelphia Times: Many stories are told of the picturesque ex-Governor Wal- ler, of Connecticut, but none more inter- esting than that which describes his first romance. He was then an impecunious law clerk, but he fell in love with the mayor's daughter notwithstanding, So far as the lady was concerned his suit was successful, too, but Mayor Loomis was an august personage, and he not only objected to the union, but pre- vented 1t 'This set-back put the spur to Waller's pride and his energy,and he forth- with determined to be a bigger man than the mayor of New London. He devoted himself to business, kepta weather eye on politics, and was soon elected mayor, Mayor Loomis was meanwhile credited with a yearning for the governorship, but he had to stand aside and see it go to his_would-be-son-in-law. And by and by Mr. Waller was mentioned for the vice presidency, made a national reputa- tion and was assigned to an important maco in the diplomatic service, and then r. Loomis began to feel regret for his mistake, The sequel ought to be, of course, that Mr, ‘énller finally won the father’s consent and married the aaugh- ter, but, a8 a matter of fact, each found o mate years ago, and now Mr, Waller's house is next door to that occupied by the daughter of the mayor and her hus- band, and the two families are on the best of terms. —_— Invigorate the Digestion, Brandreths Pills invigorate the diges- tion and stimulate the torpid liver and bowels, they cleanse the blood and im- part new vuiur to the body.
