The birds are reported to be coming in in unusual numbers, and the prospects for good shooting frow this on until the close ot the season are fine. The Topekas and Lincolns are trylng to arrange for an exhibition gameon the Omaha grounds for sometime next week. They are not so superior to the other elubs in the league as to make them any especial attrac- tion. Base ball admirers here would rather see either club play the Omahas. ‘The coming fall shooting tournament under the management of the popular Pen- rose & Hardin sporting house promises to be a big thing. Letters have been received from most of the crack shots of the country sig- nifying their intention to be here, and the exhibition will be the most interesting ever witnessed in this part of the west.

SEPTEMBER 14. 1887. THAT INJUNCTION CASE. Argument on the Sohool Board Mat- ter Yesterday. The argument on the injunction case of the taxpayers of Walnut Hill against the board of education was heard by Judge Neville yesterday. The principal point at issue was the right of the school board to purchase school sites without submitting the question to a vote of the electors of the citizens of the district. Mr. Doane claimed chag could not do so oven if they had available funds on hand, much less when they had no money as is the case at present, In support of this he produced the aflidavit of Charles Connoyer, ex-secretary of the school” board, showing that shortly before the last board ceased to exist there was only about six thousand dollars on hand and that had beea distributed. An aflidavit was also produced from City Treasurer Rush showing that up to yes- terday not a cent had been received from the board. Secretary Piper, of the board, stated there were available funds, prin- cipally from licenses, ete. Mr. Doane argued that such funds could not be ap- plied to the purchase of school funds but must be used for payment of teachers, This he supported hz a decision of the supreme court and held that all pur- chases made so far by the board were illegal and each member was individually liable. Judge Neville reserved his do- cision until Monday next when the Sep- tember term of court opens. — AMUSEMENTS. COUP'S SHOW AT THE EXPOSITION HALL. Coup, the veteran manager, has at this place of entertainment some of the most beautiful specimens of horseflesh ever seen in the arena. Not many months agoa number of them were as wild as steeds from Barbary. To-day they are docile and perform acts which evinee in- teligence and surprising tractability. They go to school, act as scholars, pla; romp, drill, waltz and fight as artiller, men. In connection there is an excellent variety performance, introducing the celebrated Whitficld, the rapid change artist; Grice and Conrad, a pair of versa. tile clowns, and the Elliotts, six children whose bi {ulimz is not alone original, but daring. The entertainment will be re- peatod with novelties every afternoon and evening this week. MISS PRESCOTT. Seats for this lady’s season, which opens to-morrow night, go on sale at Boyd's to-morrow.

OLD CRONIES, ‘Lhe date of the appearance of these has been changed to Monday, 'I'uesday and Wednesday of next weok. MRS. ERNSTER'S PUPILS. Mrs. L. F. Ernster’s pupils gave an en- tertainment last night at the Grand opera house consisting of about twenty- five vocal pieces, solos and duets, con- cluding with the cantata of ‘‘Angels Coming, Eva."” The audience was small but appreciative and some of the per- formers evinced considerable talent. THE COMING CIRCUS, I'ne long-looked-for advent of the John B. Doris & E. . Colvin's Colossal Shows is near at hand, and we are authorized to state that the Great Skows will positively exhibit at Omaha on Thursday, Septem- ber 21. The press throughout the entire country speaks in glowing terms of this % t amusement enterprise, and, in- deed, its magnitude is something to be wondered at. ~ The show—or, proverly speaking, the Great Consolidation of Shows— consists of a huge Three-Ring Circus, a Monster Menagerie, World's Museum and Elevated ‘Theatre Stage, combined with a Colossal Roman Hippo. drome, in which Roman standius and chariot racing, flat racing, steeple chas- ing, running racing, ete., etc., will be ex- hibited. There are whole tribes of Indi- ans in the ‘'‘New Wild West,” who, to- gether with frontiersmen of all kinds, scouts, cowboys, guides, hunters and trappers, will give realistic scenes of lite in the Wild West surpassing anything of the kind ever seen here. Do not forget the date. He Caught Her by the Neck. Yesterday afternoon Constable Gilbert Blue, by virtue of an exceution issued Ly Justice Crawford, attempted to make a levy on the property in Mathias Neu's saloon at No. 604 South Ninth street. Mrs. Neu, a strong, masculine woman, did all in her power to stop the constable. She showered upon him all the abuse of which she was capable, and finally seiz- ing him by the arms attempted tc throw himn out into the street. This nettléd the officer and gripping her by the throat he threatened to send for the police, whereupon she herself sent for an officer and in a few minutes Blue was aston- ished to find himself riding in the patrol wagon as a common prisoner, and still later locked up among thieves and bums. Oceans of Pins. Tue MiLLarp Hoter, Sept, 13, 1887, — Editor Omaha Bek: In your paper of this mworning, under the head of “The Field of Industry,” you say “The eight pin companies of New England produce 6,720,000 pins annually, ete.”’ The fact is that there about 400 machines in New England capablelof producing 150 pins per minute, or 9,000 per hour, or 90,000 per day of ten hours, or 27,000,000 per year of 300 days, or 10,800,000,000 ver year tor the 400 machines, which, with nearly as many more machines outside of New England, will increase the capacity to at least 18,000,000,000 pins per year, or equal to one pin per day for every inh: itant of the United States, whieh i double the amount used. Please don't got frightened, Mr, Editor. There is no prospect of a pin famine. A MANUFACTURER. Distinguished Marksmen. The greater number of the distin- guished marksmen of the Umted States army, selected because of their skill at department and division practice, ar- rived in the city yesterday and were sent to the Bellevue range, where they were met by Colonel G. V. Henry. Others from the more distant departments are expected to-day. This practice of dis- tinguished marksmen is new ja the army, and the Bellevue practice "will be the most important thus far held. It will be especially interesting because of the com- parisons it must neccssarily establish be- tween army and ¢ marksmen, and there is little doubt that at the 500 and 600 yard runs there will be shown some of the finest shooting that has ever been done in this or any other country. Another Crook in the Toils, William Dempsey, a partner of John Jones, the thief and slugger, was ar- rested yesterday by Oflicer Dempsey for being implicated in the Southern hotel robbery last Sunday. Dempsey seems to be & catspaw for Jones, having been 1n- fluenced by that smooth erook to get the keys and go through the different rooms for plunder. Two or three suits of clothes were secured and turned over to Jones, who, when arrested, was in pos- session of them. Mr. Nelken Vindioated, Mr. Joseph Nelken,No. 523 South Four- eenth street, who was arrested yesterday okarged by the police with being & bogus bond sharp, was discharged at once pon hearing. Mr. Nelken demonstrated the genuineness of his bonds and his legal authority to sell the same. The gentle- man was also able toproduce a sufficiency of witnesses to ‘off-get any charges against his charactor. His arrest was in the first place actuated by spite. Marriaga Licenses.

The case of the parties engaged in the recent prize fight has had another con- tinuance, the time of the trial being fixed for 'I'hursday, the 15th, at 2 p. m, All the defendants were released on their own recognizance. While Jack Hoff was aslecp in the Cal- ifornia house eu;(nrday afternoon, a soldier, named W. Gannon, robbed him of $10. About an hour later the warrior was captured in a saloon by officer Go- dola. On next Thursday, the charge of bury- ing the county dead will be entrusted to John Mahoney, now superintendent of the county farm. Mr. Mahoney says that the new system, recently devised by the commissioners will result in the sav- ing of about §2,000 'per year. Several Germans of the city are ar- ranging a benefit for Louis MierendorfF, a worthy old Gierman who 18 well known here, and who has been sick for a long time. His family has also been ill for a long period. The affair will consist of a concert, and take place at Germania hall. Mrs. Lindermaan, Mrs, Puls, Ohl, and several prominent German actors and singers will take part. ———— The liver and kidneys must be kept in good condition.

J., letter says: Just on the outskirts of the little town ot Arling- ton are the old co&mvr mines. At or time they contributed much to the income of many of the old and wealthy families of thiscity. For years, however, they have not been worked, and they are now oceasionally visited only through curi- osity. Entrance to the mines is gained at a secluded spot in the side of a bluff which overlooks the Arlington cemetery and a stretch of meadows reaching al- most as far as Snake hill, (George Oliver, a prominent contractor of Arlington, had occasion to visit the cemetery the other day, and when about to leave bad his attention attracted: to a man of odd appearance, who seemed to be wending his way toward the entrance of the mines, The actions of the strange individual and his pecaliar looks aroused Mr. Oliver's curiosity, and he started after the stranger for the purpose of finding out who he was. When he hs come within about twenty-five feet of the man, the noise of the cracking of some brancnes was evidently heard by the stranger, for he turned around, and, upon seeing Mr. Oliver, gave an ex- clamatioa of surprise, and immediately darted into the mouth ot the mine and out of sight as suddenly as if the earth had opened and swallowed him. Mr., Gliver was at a loss to account for the actions of the man. He, however, made up s mind to follow into the mine. He entered the opening in the but had not gone when he cam the conclusion that it would be useless for him to attempt a search under the ground withont the aid of a lantern, and the mine is infested with snakes, 1 also be a dangerous undertak- ing. ‘That night, with a party of friends, Otliver returned to the mines. Before entering the they talked the matter over and concluded to .Ntuu in the mines until they had found the object of their search. They had not ne far when they dis- covered that there were openings diverg ing i all directions, and that the con- stant drip of water from the overhang- 1ng rocks was ulmost like a heavy rain. Another thing which added to their dis- comfort was the large numbers of snakes that almiost at every step were disturbed from their sleep by'the intruders stepping upon the loose stones under which they were lying, The: snakes hissed and squirmed about 1 & frightful manner, and it was only by the constant use of clubs that they could be kept away. As Mr. Oliver and one of his party pro- cecded the mine grew smaller, and they could walk only n & posture. After they had walked about for some- time vainly seeking an outlet, Mr. Oliver noticed aspark of figh! at what seemed to be a long distance off, and which ap- peared and disappeared at intervals, ‘Che nearer they came tg the light the steadier it seemed to grow. When within a few feet of it they stopped suddenly in sur- rise. ‘hey found that the light came rom a pot of scome kind of grease into wnich had been thrown a hghted rag. I'ne pot sat upon a stone raised one foot from the floor of the mine. That por- tion of the mine was about fifteen feetin circumference and considerably higher than any of the other passages. The floor was level and free from any loose stones and perfectly dry. While they stood there they were startled by hearing a voice demanding what they meant by their intrusion. Raising their lanterns to get more light they saw a man who appeared to be about thirty-eight years old. His har and beard were very long. He was of medinm height and compactly built. The visitors inquired the cause of his presence in that isolated quar and he at first posiuvely declined to give any information. After a great deal of per- suasion he finally concluded to talk, but emphatically refused to give his name He then told the following strange stor *“*Four years ago | lived in New Yor on Thirty-seventh street. 1 was employed in's plumbing esiablishment. 1 worked steadily and earned good wages und lived very comlnmhl_r About cight months before this time T had married the daugh- ter of a boss bricklayer.

But at last —well, to make a long story short, [ found that she was untrue to me, 1 wan- dered around New York for a few days in a state bordering on insanity. In my wanderings I got into Jersey, and one day reached the cemetery below here. 1 wentnto the intention of ending my life. However, | ohanged my mind, and after Jeaving the cemetery I ‘eame upon these mines, Without any object 1n view I entered. Ireached this place and from an air-shaft a little to the right could ciscern the surroundings. 1 sat down and for the first time in four days I be- gan to think, When I arose from that spot there I had determined what to do ~-live away from the world forever. “1 went back to New York, called upon the only friend 1 claim in the world, confided to im my terrible misfortune and my firm resolution to bury myselt alive away from everyone. I exacted a pledge of secrecy from him, and to this day no one but he has any idea of what has become of me. “The story of my wife's infidelity got abroad, and many are under the impres- sion that [ committed suicide long ago. How do I live? Well, 1 live as well as I want to. Under cover of night I meet my friend once a weck. The few things I need he brings me. For a long while it was a terrible strain for me to hive in this place, but I have now become accus- tomed to it, and under no circumstances would I again return to the world, 1 have fixed this part of the mine up_for my quarters. What cooking I do 1s done under the air-shaft, and always at night, 5o that the smoke will not attract atten- tion, During the day 1 get enough light from the shaft to enable me to read. You are the first person 1 have seen since my four years' residence here, and 1 don’t think that any others will ever find this quarter of the mines unless it is through aceident, I am thoroughly acquamnted with nearly all the passage-ways, and as they extend for miles underground I will have no difliculty in keeping out of the wuy of intruders and curiosity seckers, No, I am not afraid of the snakes. They have become used to my presence here and never bother me. In this part of the mine there are none. Do I know where my wife is? No, nor do I care.” He then piloted the strangers out of the mine and bade them good night. T AZTEC RUINS. Interesting Descriptions of the Dwell- ings of a Lost Race. St. Louis Republican: Rev. Dr. Wil- liam Porteut was met by a reporter of the Republican yesterday and questioned concerning his New Mexican jaunt amid the Aztec ruins. Said the doctor: “From a pointsome fifty miles south of Durango, M., down the valley of the Animas river, for fifteen miles or more, ruin after ruin appears. [ examied two ruins in particular very carefully. The larger one was 400 feet long anc about 150 feet wiae.gIt contained as nearly as I could estimate, about 500 rooms. This ruin was four stories high, each story being ten feet in height. The walis are of mas- sive iDapure vorphyry, three feetin thickness, and laid with & mortar resem- bhing red clay. The rooms varied in size from si y eight to twenty and thirty fee Only a few of them were plastered, and the most of them pre- sented a rough, unfinished appearance. ‘They were entered by doors about thrce and a half and four feet in height and of the ordinary width, evi- dence of being driven In with stone hammers. The sills were of huge round logs of white cedar of a variety not found anywhere thatZvicinity at the present All the woodwork used in the construc- tion of the rumns was of this white They had no implements of steel, , nor planes of any kind. All of a quadrangular shape fronted to the sonth, with a_court yard in front, from which fact I judged the ancient inhabi- tants were sun worshippers. On the northeast corner of h large ruin were immense circular rooms, twenty feet in diameter, which 1 supposed were either sed for council rooms or for religious services “Now, let me try and give you an 1dea of the oring. They put in a large sill of white, unhewn cedar. All their timbers were round, a3 they made no at- tempt to dress it with their rude stone axes, and across this beam, sometimes eighteen inches in diameter and at right angles, they placed o poles, about the thickness of an ordinary turning pole and extendiug the width of the room in groups of three e: On these primitive rafters they placed a layer of splitcedar, followed by a matting of cedar bark, corn husks, or a species of rush, somewhat resembling our cat-tails, The Hoor was considered complete after a quantity of earth had been trodden down over the complex undercrust. After the ground floor had been completed in this manner, the Aztec builder proceeded to lay his wall on the outside, but slanting gradually on the in- side in such a manner as to cause a pro- Jecting ledgze and an increased thickness at the top of the story, thus affording room for the beams of the next floor. he second ruin was of coarser material, | was also 400 feet in length by 100 in width, with a s| yards between it and the larger pile. Its court yard was 60x100 feet, and contained a large cis- tern. [ believe I forgot to mention be- fore that all the court yards were sup- plied with cisterns hewn out of solid rock. There was a large circular space between the two ruins L am deseribing, In fact. the valley was filled with round ruins varying in dimensions for a dis- tance of fiftecn miles or more to the junction of the Animas and Juan rivers, Now, young man, if I were an architeet I might give you all thisin a more concise form, but you wiil have to recerye it from a man who made good use of cyes, ears and tongue, and who was not “‘stooping to conquer.”’ “T'he Aztec certainly had no objections to something akin to Egyptian darkness, for their rooms had no windows, save two little square port holes, and there were no doors on the inside opening from room to room. Many rooms are sealed up, but for what reason must re- main a matter of conjecture. Another peculiarity of each larze ruin was that the southwest corners were built of much better material than the remainder of the structure, and they were jn a far better state of preservation. Consider- able vandalism is going on there, and the ruins are pulled down without regard to their archeological interest, 1 don't see why the government should not protect the structures equally as much as the Yellowstone park, for they certainly pos- sess inestimable treasures for the ex- plorer and scientist. A short distance trom the two large ruins stands a bold, recipitous bluff. On its summit, over- looking them, are the ruins of a cirenlar fort, 1,000 feet in circumference. Ves- tiges of the gateway and a paved rond forty feet wide, leading down to the lower ruins, are still discernible there. Other parts of the fortilications counect with the ruins by a succession of ter- races down the rocky sides of the bluff. A magnificent view of the whole region roay be obtaized from it. A large hollow clothed in the freshest verdure suggests a fountain in ages past.” *Where did those people come from?" “Now you are asking me something which hus puzzled our greatest scien- tists. My own theory is that the chiff’ or cave dwellers came first and the Aztecs next. There is ovidence of warfare having - been waged between & small and a large peo- vle, as is evinced by the at number of small arrows which have been picked up and a fow large ones. Take the oldest inhabitants among the Indian tribes, and he will tell you that when his people came into possession of that country the ruins were the “‘Indian tradition as a general thing is very unroliable, but everything goes to show that the people who inhabited those ruins lived in a period far earlier than the ancient recordsof the old world, The Indians say a number of tribes came into this citadel annually to pay tribute, and 1n the athletie sports which followed the quarrel took place which led to the war, no account of which has come down to u ‘*Here now,'\continued the doctor, ‘‘is a corncob and a husk, in verfect preser- vation. which I found in one of the sealed rooms. My wife intimated that these rooms may have been closed on ac- count of small-pox after the custom of certain Indian tribes of this day, and suggested that my treasnres undergo a process of purification, but I would not hear toit. Here are my other relics,”’ displaying a strip of cedar, some cedar bark, a small round stake, also of cedar, a stone axe and a club, or flat stone, u: in rubbing the maize into tne course meal which served the Aztec as his staff of life. *“The only solution of the mys- tery surrounding the origin of this strange people may be expressed in the Mexican steryotyped query, ‘Quien sabe?' " —ies The State of Affairs in Honolulu, Correspondence San Francisco Chron- icls: As the king signed the new consti- tution to keep his place there was noth- ing left for Colonel Ashford to do in turtherance of his schemes, but to keep up the excitement and scare. This was done by the persistent circulation of false rumors regarding the king among the natives at the Pulace, the issuance of in- flammatory circulars by Gibson to 1neite the Kanakas on the other islands to rebel and similar stories, So menacing did affurs become under these rumors that Mr. Merrill, United States minister resi dent, and Major Wodehouse, British commissioner, went to the Palace to sat- isfy themsclves, of their truth or falsity. They found Kalakaua in his shirt sleeves wriling a letter to his wife, not dreaming of the martial snorting and blowing on the streets. “We have no government,” said a for- eign representative the other day, refer- ring to the influencs and authority over ministers exercised by the committe ot thirteen and their demand to make col- onel Ashford equivalent to a militar dictator. “The league," he continued, *‘or the council of thirteen, which nacts for it, is the real power in the country. It is irresponsible and therefore a con- stant elemeat of danger. There 18 no pretext for the existence of the league now. It fulfilled its functions when 1t secured the reforms demanded by the public_meeting, and should then “have been dissoived. Its continued existence is an embarrassment to the ministry and a continued source of anxiety to my col- leagues and myself.”’ This opinion is shared by judge! d other intluential citizens, {:m the vigilance committee stiil continues its organization, dictati Li appointments and removals, and wil not dissolve unless compelled to do so by a_fearless administration, under terror of the code, which makes membership in unhcensed secret socicties a penal of- fense. ‘The Honoluln papers dare not publish even the current ||,~Lnryolr ng events, for fear of a boycott by the league, the consequence of which is that residents on the other nds really have no ade- quate knowledge of what has transpired here sing he flight of Gibson.
