The set-to last night was such as to elicit, the wariest expressions of approval from all who witnessed it, and among the spectators were a couple of police sergeants and several roundsmen, and although the bout was of a ~highly tropical character from the opening smash to the wind-up, they saw nothing to warrant official interf e and leit the hall . in the oelief that such exhibitions of science, skill aud endurance can have none other than a beneficial effect upon all manly men. Manager Kilkenny at the close of the enter- talament announced that Davis and a St. Louis unknown would spar fifteen rounds for scientific points before the club Friday evening.

Wood applied for the use of the Dav- enport schiool for the purpose of holding a mission Sunday school. It was declared to De contrary to the rules of the board to grant the reauest. Prosiaent Goodman read the resignation of Mr. Sholes, whi upon motion of Mr, Martin, was accep! Mr. Sholes assigned as a renson for resigning thut he felt he could not afford the time necessary to properly at- tend to the business of the position. Mr. Poppleton offered a resolution to cover t:m grouuds of the Lake street school with cinders. MF. Felton ovjected to destroying the beauty of the Lake street site by covering it with cinders. Dr. Spalding announced that there was combiue between the principal of the school, a few members of the board and some shoe- maker to have the children wear out their shoes. The doctor suggested sand, Dr. Saville suggested gravel. 'The matter was referred to the committee on building and _property with power to act. Dr. Spalding and Mr. i%elton, of the com- mittee on heating and ventilation, reported that they had examined the applications for position a& Janitor of the St. Barnabas school, and recommended that Elmer Matson be transferred from the Pleasant school to the St. Barnabas school. Mr. Wehrer claimed that the committee had made a sueak on him and had taken ac- tion on this matter without letting him know aoythiog about it. He said he had sent a man to the Barnabas school who had been giving g on, and he could see no advantage in transferring a mau from one building to another. Dr. Spalding stated that they had taken no undue advantage of the chairman of the meeting, but said that Matson held a fire- mun's liccuse and that he was now in a building heated stoves and it would be a well-deserved promotion. The report of the committee was adopted. The committee on s ported in favor of appointing Honr mefow 1o the position-of teacher of physical culture. The committee on buildings and property was authorized to rent an additional rcomat the Lathrop school. The committee on boundaries recommend- ed that the church building on Ames avenue be rented for the use of Saratoga school, Referred. ‘The resolution to close the Pleasent school “was reporied adversely and tho superintend- ent was directed to make such changes as would do away with the basement room at the Central school and fill '.xp the Pleasant school. The committee on bnundnrles recom- mended that the number of teachers at the Bancroft school be reduced by one, and that this teacher be transferred to Lathrop or Saratoga school.

Milt Barlow must cortainly be congraw- lated upon having made such a brilliant suc. cess in comedy. It is very scldom tuat a comediai who has always been connected with a minstrel company makes a success in 1 white face, and unaer these circumstances Mr. Barlow deserves a groat deal of credit for his performance of Gabriel Caricol in the comedy *“Three Wives to One Husband,’ as presentod last evening at the Grand opera house. The play, adanted by Colonel Mil- liken, is certainly very bright, and, aithough the company presenting it is in some repects very weak, it kept the large nudicnce in very good humor from begioLing to end. Mr. Wilber may do well m changing Miss Carrio Lowis a8 800n as possible, as tho lady is by no means capablo of playing the part of Euphemia Battersby, and there are one or two more weak umpersonations in the com- puny, and when such improvements are made Mr. Wilber can boast of having one of the cleverest comedy companies on the road. As said before, Mr. Barlow can only be_co ratulated upon his success, and_Miss iLllio all, the charming wifo of Mr. Barlow, shares the honors with the star in every re- spect. BAILEY WAS JEALOUS, And Used a Pair of Knuckles on Thomas Rutledge's Head. Thomas Rutledge, a negro, was brought to the police station last night with an ugly cut on his head, inflicted, as he says, by an- other colored man named John Bailey. Tuo affair is a result of jealousy on Bailey's part, who accuses Rutledge of being in mate with bis (Balley's) wife, The lattor is a fireman at the Mercer power house, and is abseut a great deal. Last night he came homo and found Rutlodge Iving on_ the lounge. Ho proceeded to beat him up with & pair of kuuckles, Rutiedge knockcd bim dowa, after which both were arrestod. Neither will die. Oouldn't Agree as to the Seaaons. Rose Curtis, & prostitute av 127 North Ninth street, is in trouble. M. F. Martin, a real estate muu who rented the house to her, broke open her little den yesterday and woved her s out on the street.

H!S RECORD ON ALL QUESTIONS. The Governor Expresses the Groatest Confidence in the lutegrity and Ability of the Repube lican Nominee. Larrabes Endorses Hutchinson, Des Morses, fa., Oct. 21.—]Special Tel gram to Tne Hee.|—~Tne democrats have dared Governor Larrabee to publicly endorse Senator Hutelison, the republican candi- date for governor, pretending that the sona- tor was not accoptable to the anti-monopo- lists. The former has accepted tho challenge, and to-day wrote the following very strong endorsement in a letter to a gentlewan of this city. It is expected that this will satisfy the farmers’ alliance as to the soundness of Seneator Hutchison on the raiiroad ques- ‘on. Des Moises, Oect. have beon made of mo conc Hutcbison's legislative transportation question. [ pre ord as published in the papeps, purporting to be a copy of the house and senate journals, is correct. I deem, however, his record of the past, as compared with his present views and opinions, of small importance in- deed. This question, like all great public questions, should be viewed and acted upon in the light of the present, and not from the standpoint of the past. Senator Hutchison consulted with me frequently during the session of the last general assombly when this question was under discussion, and I know that ho labored hard w secure the adoption of the best features of our prasent luw. He has, sinco the adjournment of the general assémbly, often expressed to me his approbation of the action of our commissioners, and has repeat- edly assured mo that he considered the rates fixed by them reasonable and compensatory. Senator Hutchison s an able, high- minded, corscientious man, and I have per- fect faith and confidence in him. If elected governor, 1 bolieve he will be active and energetic in his efforts to enforce this law, as well as any other, in letter and 1 !Dlrn? and that there will be uo swinging back the pendulem with his consent. He is sound on the temperance, as he 18 on the transpor- tation question, and will never consent to the proposition to open saloons in any and every township in the atate. We cannot over-esti- mate the 1mportance of sustaining this law in its fullest integrity. The senator’ sonal qualities and bis views on p questions will undoubtedly make him an ad- mirable chief for this state. WILLIAM LARRABEE, 21.—Many enquiries rning Senator the ume the ree- Hutchison and the RKailvoads. Stovx Ciry, Ia, Obt. 2L—{Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee.|—A letter written by Senator J. G. Hutchison, republican candi- date for governor, July 25, 1838, will be vrinted for the first time to-morrow. Itis a most effective refntation of the assaults upon Lis record regarding state control of ilroad corporations. The letter is a pri- © one, written to Dr. Charles Beardsley, then chairman of the republican state com- mittee, long before Sonator Hutchison thought of becoming a candidate for gov- ernor. In the letter be alluded to **The fool- ish, untimely and -uncalled-for war which the railro: companies are making on the railrond law,” and he reviewed the inside history of the passago of the railroad laws at the previous session of the legis- ature. In conclusion he said: *It is well known that some of us woriced night and day to avoid the shoals; to learn, if possible, what was the true middle ground, the rignt thing to do as between the raiiroad companies aud the people, By our_pursuing that course I'am satisfied we secured the present railroad law, and I believe 1t is the honest duty of every good citizen to stand up for it. I feel quite sure the courts will take proper care of the Jaw. It is the best state railroad law in the United States. 1 amproud of the law, and think the railroad companies will in time learn that there is one state in the union which proposes to be sovereign in these mat- ters, and that the railroad companies shall not be. Our state convention will soon take place, and while 1 have so much pride in the honorable position we maintain as a state, I hope level-headed men will not permit a reso- lution on the railroad question that will look like backing down.” i ‘I'his letter was written a few days before the republican state convention of last year, at which Senator Hutchison was chairman of the resolutions committee, and reported the most radical anti-monopoly platform ever adopted in Iowa. The letter is more signifi- cant because not intended for publication, and because it so complétely meots the charges of Mr. Asnby, who claims to be sec- retary of the Farmers' alliauce.

A Curious Mechanical Device and How Jt Is Made.and Oporaces, The Messrs. Schwob have just brought out quite o singular watch, the first specimen of which has been exam- ined by us, and which will certainly puzzle more than one curious person, snys La Natuve, ryone now knows those mysterious clocks that still aston- trausparent glass with two wires,and pro- Q& with hands, and there we have a clml‘ that tells the time. No mech ism, no transmission, nothing, z The watch belongs to the category of mysterious devices; but it is solid; does not require to be hung perpendicularly and operates with regularity in all po- sitions. it is, 8o to Bpeak, a mysterious pocket “iclock.” A glass dial is sot into a bevel in a silver rim, and two hauds move, as if by magic, over the transparent glass without the Least apparent transmission of motion. The view through the glass is unobstructed, and a person can read h1s newspaper through the dial, Behind the dinl we find aglass disl, which is not noticed when the watch is closed, and Bekind this there is u glass. The axis of the hands traverses the me: dium disk, to, which iv is lixed,and rests one side on the eenter of the dial, and, on the othersom the center of the glass. It is not diffleult to see that the hands revolye, bectetsd the medium disk itself revolves. Bt whence does it de- rive its motion?, At the upper part of the watch, jnear the stem, the case forms s & crescent, and in this, notwithstanding the reduced space, it has been possible to find room for an entire ordinary watch movement, Now, tite mo¥iHle median disk is Lnu- vided, at if plrcumtureme wit toothed me! lw ring. The teeth of this engage with those of a pinion of the movement concealed in the cros- cent, Of course, we do not see the toothed cireumference of the disk con- cealed behind the prolonged horns of the crescent; and we do not cven sus- eet the existence of the central gluss sluk the motions of which take |n|uua unperceived. So that a person who is ignorant of the artifice that we have just pointed out does not under- stand how the hands can move over the dial, The minute hand causes the di- rect revolution of the hour hand by means of microscopie gearings c cealed under the 1uterior support of the hands. This entire combination is well conceived and 1u ingenuity surpasses the old mysterious clocks. The escape- ment is of the remontoir kind, and the watch runs thirty-two hours without stopping. THE VILLAGE HAD A BOOM. Omaha's Growth From a Town of Five Thousand Souls. KEEPING STEP WITH CHICAGO. An Interesting Paralle! in the %nvel- opment of the City by the Lake—Soma Points for East« ern Oapitalists, A Wonder of the West. Mr. E. I, Test writes of Omaha in the Boston Advertiser as follows: To write of Omaha and the west is to givo the history of the foundation of a beautiful city and the conquest of an imperial domain by indomitable cnter- prise and energy. Twenty-two years ago, when the writer saw Omaha for the first timo, it was a struggling, ambitious little community of about 5,000 souls, in the midst of a “boom,” of unparalicled vigor, through the building of the Union Pacific railroad. Men came here in shoals. and more than once the daily papers complained that sixteen men were 100 many to lodge in one room over night, The old Herndon house, now the Union Paci fic headquar- ters building, greatly enlarged, was the principal hotel, and it towered liko a sentinel over the infant Looking at the history of Omaha fm' the pnst twenty-two years, one scurcely believe 1ts reality, so wumln - ful has been the change. It has but one parallel, and that is Chicago, and their relutivo percentage of_growth has been nearly the same. In 1850 Ch 80.000 people; in 1860 it had 180,000, In 1880 Omaha had 80,000 and in 1800 will have 180,000. From 1860 to 1870 the growth of Chicago was 800 per cent. I'rom 1880 to 1890 that of Qmaha will 3333, With the annexation of South Omaha and other suburbs it will be 386§. This surpasses Chicago in that period. Tn 1860 Illinois had )] ulation of 1,711,951.a growth of 1,23 in t\\cuLV)cms In 1890, or at pruscnt the population of Nebraska is about 1,300,000, an increase of 1,271,000 since 1860. This may in part explain the growth of Omaha and Chicago in the periods named, as that of the two states is 80 nearly parallel, As Chicago came from a swamp, Omaha came from the head of the Great American Desert, which has since been ransformed into a region of unsur- passed fertility, where ‘“corn is king” and lus subjects the ‘“‘bovine and swine,” flourish in abundance and con- tentment. While Chicago flourished by the development of the great states around her, the same process is going on around Omaha. Twenty-five years ago there was nothing here; now great trank lines radiate in_ every direction. Two bridges span the river connecting Omahu and Council Blu ud there is a vigorous demand for two more 1o meet the growing trade and travel between the cities. We had no coal to speak of then; a fe years afterwards & young man, Bdward McShane, a brother of ex-Congress- hane, solved that problem by is discoveries at Rock Creek and C: bon, Wyo. He also solved the fuel problem for the Union Pacific at the same time, In 1860 the great live steck industry of the plains was o thing of the future. The buffalo roamed at will in countless thousands. It was be- lieved cattle could not winter on the plain When building the overland telegraph line the late Edward Creigh- ton had occasion to abandon one of his trains that yearat or near Fort Bridger for the winter, expecting to see the cat- tle no more. Judge of his surprise to find them fat and in good condition on hisreturn the following spring; he e pected to see nothing but their bone: he had given them over to starvation and the wolves. This was the germ of the cattle growing industry on the plains. In 1870 one or two visionaries (?) and several pra men of Omaha got their heads together, resulting in the ion of an establishment many wi s predicted would close disastrously X months. 'I'hat was m-xuh v years ago, and it is running yet the Jurgest in ‘the world, of its kind— the Omaha Smelting works. I do not remember the names of the ‘“‘vistonar- ies” (?), but C. W. Mead and C. B. Rus- tin were among the pract men who founded this great industrial insti- tution in Omaha. Happening into the Omaha National bank one day, an occasional contributor to the press found the late Hon a Millard (us good a man as_ever lived) and his brother busy studying over an illus- trated paper. Mr. Millard suggested n similar establishment for Omaha, and urged the contributor to agitate it pub- licly. Glad of the chance the press tools hold, and from that time, in and out of season, Mr. Millard devoted his best efforts to the wor! The illustration was a picture of the Kansas City stock vards. After trouble and years stock vards were built at South Omaha, throvgh the efforts n( Alex Swan, L. M. Anderson, W.

Thus, while Chicago [pessesses great advantages in the lake route, Omaha admivably situated, viz., in the corn belt, with 70 per cent of Nebraska land now in farms, and of the whole state ouly 8 per cent is non-productive, out of a total of over 79,000 square miles; in the live stocl belt, and on the threshold of the gl'(-ut mining regions, of which two us yet undeveloped indus- tries are equivalent to an additional vopulation of 2,000,000 to this city—the Wyoming coul 01l regions ana the Da- kota tin mine: Like other cities, Omaha has had its ups and_downs in real estate. Many are the fortuncs t have been made, and several pages might be devoted to a narration of these. There is a good deal of Boston capital invested here, in buildings nnd real estate, and I am sur- prised there is not more. Thus while Chieago is *'booming” this year, and Boston capitalists ave seeling realty in- vestinents there on a **10 per cent valu- ation” and can get nothing over b, in Omaha our best investients can be had on @ 14 and 16 per cent valuation.

A year ago there were cleven prize fat women on exhibition in this country, but now there are only six. The others have gone the nuir of all flesh, whether fat or lean, and will be seen on earth no more.

The gnnornl had been bear hunting, and when the crowd at the Grand Pacific, where he lives, saw that he had'a long, ragged ‘scratch on the side of his nose, it was whispered that the wound had been sustained in a hand to hand fight with a grizzly. Sam Par- ker told Colenel Babcock about noon that General Crook was frightfully mangled, and had sent for a pair of crutches, Dnring the afternoon Clerk ‘Willey gave out what purported to be the only authentic story, which was to this offccr. After trxnchnq for threo days and three nights on the trail of a bear weighing 900 pounds, the general had come up with the ferocious beast. He fired two bullets into the bear, and then, throwing away his Winchester, closed with a bowie knife. To his sur- prise tho bear got up on its hind legs and struck out from the shoulder, punching the general in the nose and knocking him down. *‘If that's your game I'll play,” the general was al- leged to have said, accompanying the remark by hurling his bowio ten h-oL a Having learned boxing at Wes Point, he ;:lml(!\ overmatched his un- tagonist, gave him the knockout blow 1n ten minutes anfl forty seconds, slit the boar's throat, and dragged tho bleeding carcass into camp. The story stood till 7 o’clock, when General Crook came down smiling from dinner and said he had hurt his nose getting into a cabatthe Northwestern depot. “I was bear-hunting, though,” the goneral said: *“For a month our’ party and I werein camp, and we suw only one white man. We traveled on the Northwestern to Caspor—which 1s as far as the railrond runs—and then struck by stage into the heartof the bad lands. If you huven’t been in that coun- you have noconception what it looks like—mud hills, alkali and lignite on the levels, coyotes and rattlesnakes, altogether Godforsaken. But such game! The Enghsh hunters who kill for the sake of killing have almost stripped the country of elk as they stripped the plains of buf- falo. Wo saw only one elk while we were there, but there were deer and antelopes in abundauce. We killed only enough of them to satis(y our ap- petites. We were after bigger game, and grizzly bear is big enough for any one. We nailed four during our stay, and they were big fellows, Of course, all these stories about 1,000-pound bears are nonsobso.

He has a reputation like some of the generals in the wgr—made on paper. He never stood high among the Indians. Spotted Tail wac a thousand times as able. It's & pity his sonsdon’t take after him, They’re a wishy-washy lot. Sitting Bull ran away from Little Big Horn, but the newspapers took him up and made a big fellow of him. Why, he has had half a dozen offers of m riage from the states, and one woman went up in the northwest to propose to him.
