Billy Smith Scalded By a Wrathy Woman—Parklmprovements—New Telephone Line—In the Courts —Notes and Personials, Sioux City Tourists A number of prominents from Sioux City passed through this city Friday night en route for Kansas City, where they were to spend all of yesterday, and will return this morning. The party consisted of the city au- her with - A. R. Garretson, D. 5. C. Peters, James A. Jackson, : Booge, E Palmer, William rdon, . 8. Wright and A. W. Loft.

Some of the citizens of ) and some of her aldermen are opposed 1o clé vated tansit. They claim that an clevated railroad will greatly d ciate real estate on all streets along which it passes and be generally detrimental to the best interests of Sioux City. The company, mecting with op: position in the city council to the procure- ment of charter rights, proposed to take the entire council and other city officials to Kun- sas City so that they mizht for themselves how clevated Irouds affected real estate and business interests where they were being operated. rday in Kansas City exame A vatlroad in order that the city aldermen of Sioux €ty might form a correct judgment as to whether Kansas C had been benefited or damaged by b vated railvoads. If they find that Kansas City by their use has been damaged, sct back ind kept from getting to the front, then the will be no elevated railroad in Sioux City. If they find, as they certainly will, that elevated railrouds are superior to all other means yet devised for rapid transit in cities, then, we suppose, Sioux City will have her elevated railroad, notwithstanding parties owning property along the line of the road, now almost valucless, will ery ruin and claim danaes, knowing at the same time that it will increase the value of their prop- erty and do more for Soux City than any othier local enterprise they could have. ———— Patrons of the Pacific House have none but words of praise for the atten- tion given them.

Among the chief things which recommend Council Bluffs as a city for residence is its heulthfulness and relief from discazes, which depend upon local climatic or defective sani- tary conditions. During the year just past the average monthly mortality has been us one 10 2,000. During the month of June the percentage was less than one-tenth of 1. Considering that this month is the beginning of the heated term, this death rate 18 remark able. Other cities east and west, which are lauded for their healthfulness, cannot begim to show so good a record. In Minucapolis the rate for June was eleven to every thou- sand, or 11-10 per cent. This is a fair aver- age for all the citics pessessing 25,000 popula- tion or over should be noted. Of the deaths that occur here, chrovic disease contracted th very sua'l pereentage are could be traced to unfavorable condi tions. In this connection it may well to remforce u suggestion already made, that to keep the city n this favorable condition its sunitation should be closely watched.

The match race between the two great Omaha pacers, Westmont and Minuie R., owned by Charles McCormick and N, I. D. Soloman, took place at Union park yesterday afternoon in the presence of about four hundred spectators, mostly from the other side of the river. The race was for a purs of §1,000. The track was in fine condition for a speed conte: Westmont had been in training at the park for some time, and was in splendid shape. The mare was not half fitted for a race, being altogether too fat and having had but very little fast work this year. She was worked for the race at the owner's stock farm. It was about 8 o'clock when the horses were called up for the first heat. Marve Beardsley pulled the ribbons over West- mont, and a son of Mr, Soloman sat behind Minnie R, The latter drew the pole. After a very little trouble the ho were sent away with Westmont slightly in advance. As they swung into the turn the mare left her feet and her check became unfastened. Several of the spectators expected to see her driver pull out of the race, s he was com- pelled to slow up to almost a w 1d Lost 80 much ground that it med almost certain that he would be distanced. However, the game little mare was sent along and did some fast pacing along the back streteh.

NOTED AMERICAN DUELS, The four most noted fatal duels eve fought in the United States were thos between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr at Weehawken, N. J., July 11, 1804; Stephen Deeatur and James Barron at Bladensburg, Md., March 22, Jonathan Cilley and William 1. Graves, near the boundary line of Maryland and the District of Columbia, February 24, 1830, and Hon. David Broderick and Judge David S. Terry, near the Laguna de la Merced, about twelve miles from San Francisco, September 13, 1859, All of the challenged parties in those duels were mortally wounded or killed. None of the others were injured except Burron, who, though dangerously wounded, survived. The weapons used in three of these duels were pistols, while Messrs. Cilley and Graves fought with rifles. Hamilton was a general in the army, and Burr was vice president of the United States. Decatur and Bar- ron were post captains in the navy. Cilley and Graves were members of con- gress from Maine and Kentucky, Brod- erick was United States senator from California, and Terry ex-chief justice of the supreme court of the same state.

GENERAL JACKSON'S DU General Juckson's marrviage was the cause of a good deal of trouble, both to himself and the country. His wife was the cause of both his duels with Gov- ernor Sevier in 1803, and the cause of his duel with Char! Dickinson aft ward, Dickinson was a lawyer and trader, a patron of the turf, who ran horses and bet his money on them. He was bright, enterprising and popular, and reported to be the best pistol shot in Tennessce. He had for some reason conceived a dislike to General Jackson, and when drinking made remarks about him. The general knew this, but the ifference in thelr ages—Dickinson was only twenty-five, while Jackson was nearly forty—forbade him giving it any atten- tion until the former spoke disparng- ingly of Mrs. Jackson. When informed of this the general called upon him and demanded an apology.
