After the hearing was over and he had been bound over to the grand jury and ordered taken to the county jail in default of bond, it leaked out that he was a song and dance artist. Upon the offiters promising to see that the other prisoners at the county jail did not abuse him, he agreed to give an exhibition of his skiil for their benefit. A space was accordingly given him in the hall and for fifteen minutes the air was full of arms and legs on the fly and the audience was de- Hghted.

THEY LOOK LIKE TWO OLD TIMERS Mrs. Stockholni, m Milk Dealer's Wite, Held Up at Her Home and Compelled Give Up Her Purse. Lon Kendall, yardmaster of the Mil- wankee, avoided being robbed Friday night before midnight as he was going along Pearl street past Bayliss park cn Lis way to his home on Third street near Sev- enth avenue. His wife accompanied him. They saw two men come out of the shadow of the trees in the park end follow them down the street. They quickened thelr steps, and their pursuers did the same. Near the corner of Willow avenue the two highwaymen called to them to stop. Mre Kendall started to run, and Kendall turned around to show fight. At this the two high- waymen fell cver one another's feet in the mad attempt to get away. Onc of them is described as being tall and slim, and the Their d eription two men who com- rcbberies on the but alweys tallies with that of the mitted so many highway gtreets here about a year ago, managed to escape the police.

Girls or women furnished situations of all kinds, 525 Broadway A Midway for the Church. The young people of the First Congrega- tional church gave a novel entertainment Friday evening at the residence of H. W Tilton on Fifth avenue. The lawn was transtormed Into a “Midway Plaisance,” pat- very crudely to be sure, afier that at- tractive feature of the World's fair, but af- fording fun and frolic without limit. A long stretch of tents contained various at- tractions, notable among which was th “congress of beauties,” all pations repre- sented, from the blackest African to the fairest Saxon. Smooth-faced boys person- ated these feminine beautics, and so skill- tully that almost the elect were deceived. Had It not been for an occasional awkward hunting for the pants pockets the boys would never have given away their identity. There was an attractive Japanese village, with tea serving. Pair maids in Greclan costume served sundry delicacies. Refreshment ta- bles on the lawn, with music in the air, gave a delightful hint of old Vienna. Master Goff, acknowledged to be the youngest cornet player in the world, gave a number of solos He is not 7 years old, and he handles the horn wonderfully, sounding the highest notes with sweet clearnass, The streets of Cairo were characterized by the loud tom-tom and the unearthly yells. Donkeys, genuine flesh and blood ~affairs, afforded short distance rides at the cost of a nickle. 0ld and young patronized them, and it was dificult to determine which had the most fun, the young or the old or the donkeys, A huge elephant added to the sport., It was a deceiving combination of laths, cotton cloth and boys. One tent con- tained such trained animals as cats, dogs and canaries, and such curiosities as red bats (brickbats), and a six-legged horse without head or tail—a carpenter’s horse, in fact arranged for the occasion. Then there was the fortune teller, the Spanish flower girl, the Columbian Guards, ete, and all joined in & grand wedding march and parade, the bridal pair being two little 5-year-olds. Altogether it was a unique affair for a church entertainment and it drew a crowd. Must End Soon. Like all great things, It must come to an end some time. For the past two weeks the great dissolution sale at the Boston store has had a wonderful run. This week will be the last chance to buy goods at the low prices now offered. We have on hand over 300 cases of new fall g0ods to open after this week, which must be put on sale soon. Take advantage of the prices now offered, as sale positively ends this weck. See extrao~dinary low prices put on remnants in different de- partments to closs cut previous to the open- ing of fall goods. BOSTON STORB, Council Bluffs, Ta.

Left in the Hole, Although the Ganymede race meet Is more than a week a thing of the past, the bills are not all in yet and it is therefore impos- sible to tell exactly how the boys came out, Only one thing s certain, and that is that the guarantee fund of $300, which was sub- scribed before the race meet came off, to insure against financial loss to the club, will all, or nearly all, have to be called in. One week ago tho wheelmen of this city were singing glory hallelujah over the suc- cess of the meet, without thinking whether or not the glorification would bring along with it a piper that must be paid. Now they are engaged in the less delightful, but euqally necessary, occupation of diving down into the lowest depths of their pockets. It is expected that all bills will be collected and paid by the end of this week and the committee will have o statement of where each dollar went, to show each man who is called upon to pay his subscription. Yesterday Hines of the Ganymede came back from Atlantio and ran across the usual hoodoo o' the way," He made the outward sixty miles without any difficulty, and had gotten to within five miles of Council Bluffs on his homeward trip, when he suddenly had to stop congratulating himself on his good luck, as he discovered that he had punctured both of his tires. He had to walk the last five miles and lead his wheel. It has come to be generally understood among the wheel- men of this city that any one who starts out to make a run to Atlantic takes his lifes in his hands when he does it.

THOMAS BOWMAN, President, 124 Broadway, for good FAIR WILL BE HELD. Agricultural Soclety Wins the Injunction suit Against Lessces. The injunction case of the Douglas County Agriculture society against Kinney Bros., the lessees of the fair grounds, was decided by Judge Scott in favor of the plaintiffs yester- day afternoon. This is the case where Kinney Bros., who hold the fair grounds under a lease from the owners, refused to allow the fair people entrance to the grounds to prepare for their annual exposition. One of the provisions of the lease held by Kinney Bros. is that the agricultural soclety shall have the use of the grounds for twenty days in each year at such time as they shall designate. This year, however, the breeders’ meeting is to be held simultaneously with 'he exposi- tion. Through their attorney they stated to the court yesterday that they -did not propose to offer any obstacle to the right of the fair assoclation to use the grounds, but they would not allow the breeders to occupy the grounds unless they were given the privileges of the stalls and lemonade stands, which they should have recelved if the breeders' meeting had been held at any other time and independently of the exposition. An effort was made to reach a compromise, but this was not successful. The fair au- thorities stated that they would abandon the fair unless they were able to carry out their agreement with the Breeders assoclation, and the trial of the case was proceeded with. The evidence was in the nature of affidavits bear- ing on the agreements between Kinney Bros. and the .owners, These, together with the arguments, occu- pled the greater part of the day. In ren- dering his decision the court held that dur- ing the twenty days specified in the lease the fair people had the exclusive right to the grounds, with the exception of the house, the ed barns and Kinney's private house, 4 have as many races there as they The Injunction asked for was granted and the managers of the exposition are jubllant over the result ¥xcurslon Steamer Out of Her Trouble, VICTORIA, B.

The droutn fs without precedent. Farmers mourn the loss of crops and fear havoe by fire and star- vation of stock. Counties like Chautauqua and Erie, which have dairy interests of great maegnitude, are the chief sufferers, but un- less rain comes speedily and continuously this entire end of the stat: will experfence a financlal loss which it can il afford. The bordering province of Ontario is similarly parched. The Assoclated press has collected the following data regarding the effects of the drouth from ite corrzspondents Niagara Falls—The long drouth has left its visible Imprint on the fields everywhere in Niagara county. In Lockport, Brockport, and other Inland towns, hay fields lie burned and blackened; crops have be:n dwarfed; fruit has deteriorated, and trees shorn of their foliage. Through the fruit section there has been a gen-ral attempt to overcome the ruin by artificial means. Angelica—The loss to Alleghany county will amount to many thousands of dollars. The yield of milk has shrunken from one- third to one-half, it is estimated, and ft has bfen necessary to fied more than half the dairies, Since August 10 the plague of grasshoppers has been alarming. Hornellsville—Serious damage has been don: to the pastures of Steuben county, and many farmers have been obliged to feed their cattie. This condition Is aggravated by the scourge of grasshoppers. Oats and buak- wheat have been affect:d seriously, and fields of the former have been cut before maturity 1o save them. The drouth has ripened the botato:s prematurely, and the yleld will be small, Jamestown—The Chaatauqua river has shrunk two and a half feet, and other large creeks have dried to mere rivulets. Acres of pasture lands have be:n burned over fires are raging in timber lands. damage |s done to the dairy interests a milk famine is feared. Hamburg—Farmers in Erie county who sell their milk and general produce to the city are downcast over the damage from the drouth. The loss will be inestimable. The soil near the lake shore suffers less than that on the castern edge of the county, where timber lands are burning and where sparks from passing railroad trains have kindled the lifeless grass. Batavia—The first rain since July 21 fell night before last in Genssee county, but not in sufficient quantity to quench the thirst of the arid soil. Pasturage and potatoes are suffering. TORONTO, Ont.—Since August 1 but .36 inchies of rain have fallen, the least since 1874, The western peninsula of Toronto, the garden spot of Canada, Is parched and burned. All along the, north shore of Lake Ontario and half way to Montreal the drouth is nearly as serious. Pastures are drying up and streams supposed to be everlasting have vanished. The drouth threatens to ef- fect the output of cheese, as pasturage fs drying up. The honey yield will be curtailed by the drying up of the buckwheat blossoms. In Middlesex and Bssex counties farmers are fighting destructive fires and news comes from Hensal, Huron county, that fire spreads that village on every side and the whole of the population is defending it. - RESULTS ON THE RUNNING TRACKS, Laton| Full Meeting Opens to a Small Crowd and Several Sensations. CINCINNATI, Sept. 1.—The Latonia fall series of races opened to the smallest at- tendance for several years, About 3,500 people were present. The day was fine and the track fast, although no unusual time was made. The talent had rather the best of the day, as three favorites and three strony second choice horses went through. Rel el Santa Anita, the winner of the Chi- cago Derby, had a hard time to beat Orinda and a common field in the first race, The eastern horse, Lizetta, won the second and Greenwich, the general second choice, Dbeat Clementiné, an odds-on favorite, in thé third. Rhett Goode galloped away with the Avondale stake. In the next two races second choice horses won, Catherine beat- ing the hot favorite, Simon W, who got off badly, in the fifth, while Darevella in the sixth nipped Charley Wilson, 3 to 2, in the stretch and won handily. Mr. Lynch, owner of the Arizona stable, and Jockey Van Kuren were called into' the stand after the second race and questioned about the run- ning of their horse, Mr. Jingle, in the race. Mr. Lynch was told if his horses did not Tun o the entire satigfaction of the judges hereafter he would be ordered from the track.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1—The chief feature of today's racing at Sheepshead Bay was the disqualification of Dobbins in the Ocean handicap, and the decision of the judges met general approval. The horses ran as if blanketed until the turn into the stretch, when Simms took Dobbins to the outsidé and began his driving. One after the other he bumped the horses out of his way, and when the last furlong was reached he had Roche and Faraday to beat. He bore in against Roche, who In turn drove Faraday against the rails, and the gray had to give it up or go over the fence. He took a bit of revenge out of Roche, for he #ave that colt a savage bite to pay for the crowding, Then Dobbins continued on his course, and by crowding Roche %o hard that he was nearly driven over the fence, he won by a neck.” He was set back, however, amid the applause of the crowd.

FLOOD 1 Luter Reports Do Not De tructio SAN ANTONIO, destruction and Lessen the Stories of wnd Suffering. ept. 1.—The scene of desolation in the flood dis- tricts for a distance of 100 miles east and west from here, and extending south from the Southern Pactific railroad to the Rio Irande, 200 miles away, Is simply te=rible. Thouzands upon thousands of acres of pasture and farm land Is still under water It is estimated that the damage to the crops in the valley of the Leona river alone will reach $500,000, while in the valleys of the Saco and Sabinal rivers the losses will be fully as much more. Many thousand heads of cattle, horses and sheep were swept away and drowned Up to last midnight all telegrams received here by Southern Pacific railroad officials and for the press came by the roundabout way of El Paso, Pueblo and Kansas City, all direct connection with Uvalde and other flooded towns being cut off. The wire Is now restored, however, and information from the Leona valley is now coming in. Reports recelved this morning are more alarming than the earlier ones, It is still a matter of uncertainty as to the number of lives lost, but additions to the list of drowned are con- stantly being made. About one-half of the houses in Uvalde, a town of 2,800 popula- tion, were carried away, and there is much suffering thereby, but no more fatalities are reported there, Nothing has vet been heard from the settlement of seventy-five families several miles below Uvalde, but there are still grave fears that many If not all of them were swept down by the torrents and lost. The town of Batesville was entirely inundated and there was heavy loss of property, but no lives reported lost. There are several other towns in the flooded dis- trict, but they are away from the railroad and telegraphic reach and nothing can be heard from them until the waters subside. Al construction officials of the Southern Pa- cific railroad have gone to the scene of the prineipal disaster, and several train loads of material and men have gone west to repair damage to track and reconstruct bridges. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. i.—The Southern Pacific officials here had full advices from the seat of the storm in Texas up to 11 o'clock today, and said that the reports of damage to the track and of the amount of loss to the Southern Pacific has been exaggerated. Dispatches received from the general manager, who is in Texas, show that the princip:l damage sustained by the road near Uvalde, Tex. was the washing away of iron spans of bridges over the Leona, Hondo and Secor rivers. This was caused by cloud bursts in the mountains near the head of these strezms, which brought dcwn a vast amount of water against the bridges Although they were of the most substantial constructicn, of the heaviest iron work, rest- ing on stone plers, the bridges were dam- aged to such an extent as to prevent the pissage of trains until repairs can be made. Wires were repaired today and a temporary office opened at Secor bridge, enabling the officers to obtain accurate Information from the seat of trouble. Officials say the re- port that forty miles of track were washed away and that $1,260,000 loss is involved Is ridiculoys. UVALDE, Tex., Sept. 1.—The high water has almost entirely receded and the full effect of the destruction has been made plain, There is no further report of los of life and the estimate of damage s some- what lessened. A call for aid, wired to San Antonio, met with ready responses and word was soon received from there that $700,000 was on hand and that additional collections would be added thercto, and in- forming the Uvalde committee to draw on the fund, The Southern Pacific had a large number of men at work and it is almost certain that repairs will be completed enough to allow the resumption of trafic at noon Sunday, at which time a west bound train will leave San Antonio. News of high water have been received from other localities, but it Is not thought loss of life will exceed reports of last night. aii it Bt Oregon Kidney Tea cures nervous head- aches.

DES MOINES, Sept. 1.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—The attorneys for this (Polk) county decided today to begin action Monday to close all the saloons running in this city under the mulet law. It will af- fect the business of forty-five places. It will probably not clcse the saloons for fair week. The basis ‘for the injunctions is the allegation that the petition on file at the office of the county auditor Is defective and insufficient. It is claimed by the attorneys that the number of signers is too small to come within the 50 per cent limit of the law. They claim to have had a careful examination made of the petition during the last few weeks, and although the work is not yet finished, the names are running far short of the required number. The petition should have on it some 5,200 names. The saloon men had but a few hundred of unexamined names as a margn. The examination of the county attorney reveals the fact that the petition is deficient by at Jeast 300. This vitiates the entire petition. It is the theory of the county attorney, as outlined to a reporter last night, that the saloon men cannot go out and get the num- ber of mames that the petition lacks in order to perfect it, but that they must get an entire new petition of the 5,300 names.

N. L. Swartwood, a traveling man for the Megeath Statlonery company, was arrested last night at the request of the chief of police of Grand Island, who claims that Swartwood is. wanted for obtaining money under false pretinses. Swartwood, who was attending the Grand Army reunion at Grand Island last week, ran short of funds and made a draft on the house which he represents here for $20. He got a lumber dealer named Harrison to endorse the drait, on which he had no difficulty in obtaining the money. He left his Omaha address with Harrison and visited some other towns before coming home. He meglected to notify the Omaha firm of the draft and when it came It was protested and sent back. Be- leving that he had been victimized Harrison swore out a complaint agal t Swartwood, who was found at his home last night and held for the Grand Island officlals, who will send a man after him today. Swartwood bears an excellent reputation h-re and it scems 10 be only a case of carelessness on his part in neglecting to prepare for the payment of the draft, when it wes for- warded to this eity for collection.

A local contemporary has been ously electing a different successor to Superintendent Fitzpatrick of the city cols each day since it was known that that gentleman had practically resigned his connection with the educational department of the Omaha city government. Notwith- st ing these assertions, however, it may be understood that no conclusicn has yet been arrived at by the members of the Board of Bducation as to the man to be chosen, and the chances are that several weeks will elapse before any definite action taken. It is the general sentiment of the board that time enough should be taken in making the selection, to be sure that no mistake is made. Froquent changes at the head of the department are looked upon as injurious to the interests of the schools and an effort will be made to secure a superintendent who will become a fixtur: for some years at least. There is no lack of eandidates and applica- tions are arriving by every mail. Super- intedent Smith of St. Paul Is in the city and has held several consultations with members in regard to the appointment. It is also stated that A. K. Goudy, the present state superintendent of public instruction is an applicant for the place, and Superin- tendent Cooper of Des Moines and Prof. A.P. Marple of Worcestor, Mags., are also regarded with favor by individual members. Prof. W. R. Prentics, now superintendent of the Hornellsville, N. Y.. schools, has been urged by friends to apply for the position and he will undoubtedly be a candi- date for the place. He has had wide ex- perience in the. profession and the schools over which he tow presides rank near the nead of the schools of New York state, THER industri- WE: MRECAST.
