A few mights ago Dan Carigg, the pro- prietor of the Mint, caused the arrest of Frank Snowden on the charge of threaten- ing his life, and wanted him placed under bonds to keep the peace. Snowden's case came up yesterday morning and his at- torneys, Mynster, Lindt & Scabrook, visited Carrigg and requested that the case be dis- missed, promising Snowden would keep out of the way and would cause no more troudle. Carrigg consented, and going before Judge Aylesworth, stated that Snowden had agreed to keep out of his place and refra spenking to him, and asked that the c dismissed. This was done, and Snowden then went hefore Justice Barnett aun swo out a search warraut, charging Carrigg with keeping a gambling house, Tho warrant was piaced in the hands of Deputy Forman, who atonce proceeded to take pos- session of tho Mint, ana the doors of the gambling house upstairs w cked.

The county supervisors, at the request of the business men und prominent citizens of Pottawattamie county, have appropriated £2,000 for the purpose of cutting down the biuff roads leading into Council Bluffs,which together with the same amount tho city of- fers to appropriate will make $4,000 for the purpose of heavy improvement of roads lead- ing into the city, 1Uis the purpose to deyote a portion of this fund towards entting down the Canning hill leading to the Chautauqua grounds and making of it a grand boulevard to this beautiful resort. There ure two cuts to be made on this hill, another on Mc’herson avenue and still an- other at tho *‘Hogsback” on the Crescent City road. This will give an average of #1,000 to each cut, which will make a very material improvement, Mayor Itohror headed another delegation to the court house yesterday afternoon in the interest 'of the appropriat this being the sccoud call made upon the supervisors during the week. The delega- tion was composed of the members of the real estate exchange and heavy property owners, The same request was made of the old board at a sossion several weeks ago, but it was refused. If the final compliance of the board with the request of the cifizens is due to the new members of tho board, the changg mude on the first of the year cannot be regretted. It is stated that there is over &75,000 of the general fund o the county treasury, and 1t is a question where the same amount could be appropristed to any better advantage or where the result would, give more general satisfaction, e i, , por bushel, 75 bushel, Z4c; potatoes, per bushel, “The Famous,” 20 Broadway, — Drs.

It was kept there in & oup- oard, and was intended as a model for anatomical drawing. One night, how- ever, when Home, the spiritualist, was in Florence and a constant visitor at the Casa Guida—for both Browning and his wife were firm beliovers in Home at this ime, though the husband's belief faded in the face of the disclosures of after years—the skeleton fell from its resting-place and frightened a lady vis- itor into a fit. It is hardly needful to say that such an untoward oecurrence was a source of great distress to Mrs, Browning, und the skeleton promptly disappeared, 10 be seen no more, [KNOCKED OUT OXFORD BOYS Boisterous Coflege Studonts Sub- dued by Noted Lecturers.

What had he to do with i Il tell you." Stanley was some time after thisannounced for an address. It was hard for Stavley to speak in public, under even favorable circumstances, Imagine, if you'can, how he was taken a-back when the Oxford students opened their batteries of applause on him. It -almost Hlu'ulyzcd him, He was used to fucing dangers of all sorts, but when he found himself being shouted at by such a crowd, and upable to make himself heard for n moment, his tongue stam- mer, his knees knocked together, and it seemed as if he would have to be gathered up and car- ried out. Stanley had with him, on the ylm(urm, his faithful Zulu, “John,” whom he was wont to dis- play us a specimen of that people. John was a8 much amazed as his master, but not 60 dismayed, He was leaning eager- ly forward, evidently mere interested than affrighted Ly the strange scene. Poor Stanley tried again and again to make himself heard. It was all {n vain, The young men would quiet down onl, long enough for Stasley to begin, ani JANUARY 12 3 (238 78 2, 1890.-SIXTEEN would then drown his voice in their shouts aud clapping and stamping. “Suddenly Stanley was noticed to have undergone a great change. IHo was himeelf evidently joining in the up- ronr. He was dancing about, moving his hands, stamping his feet, shouting hureahing, and making so many strange motions and noises that the students began think had driven him cfazy They s 8o amazed at the change in Stan- ) ions, and so curious as to what it meant, t they quicted their own noise to listen to his. Thus being en- abled to make himself heard Stanley wildly shouted at thor: “Don't stop, young gentlemen, please don’t stop. Keep right on. My man John, here, has not scon anything 1 this since he left Zululand. Ho enjoys it. It seems to him like home. For his sake, keep on please.’ “This clevor bit of sareasm won the day for Stanley. He may not be a great oritor, but ho necomplished so quick and eusily what proved to me so dift cult nnd despairing a task, that [ like Stanley for it. No man can appreciate what Stunley did so deeply as one who, to | like myself, has faced these same Ox- ford students.” DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT.
