He and Dan Smith are now comparing notes. The game of foot ball between the High #chool juniors and Council Bluffs juniors yes- terday afternoon resulted in a victory for the former by a score of 14 to 8.

Galvin, is to have that part of (he money which McSorley falled to spend. Up to the present time the money has been in the custody of the city marshal. Considerable complaint is being indulged in because of the alleged neglect of certain physicians to report cases of contagious-dis- eases as promptly as they are required by law. The statutes are very rigid in their provisions, and yet some of the doctors do not report cases of scarlet fever sometimes until forty-elght hours after they have found out the nature of the disease. Charles Goff, a second-hand man, sold Mrs, Kelsey of Streetsville a stove. The stove turned out to be worse than the pur- chaser had anticipated, and a quarrel arose over the subject of the pay. Mrs. Kelsey ‘whacked him over the head with the broom and Goff retaliated. She then had him ar- reated for disturbing the peace. Goff gave bonds for his appearance in police court to- morrow morning. Harvard and Pennslyvania could have got- ten: a good many pointers on sclentific foot ball playing by watching the championship game, which took place yesterday morning at the corner of Firstavenue and Seventh street, between picked elevens from the Washington avenue and Bloomer schools.

The members of the Bloomer team were as follows: Captain, Forrest Ruther- ford; Earl Ingram, George Dally, Roy Hazen, Egbert Aylesworth, Rod Lanzendorfer, Bdgar Harkness, Gilmore McCarval, Frank Rapalje Harold Pardey and Aaron Lyman. ‘We have two nice six-room cottages on ‘Avenue G, near Twenty-ninth street, which we will sell at a bargain if taken at once.

Foster Asks to Have n Sheriffs Deoed 8et Aside as Being Illegal, CLAIMS PRCPCR NOTICE WAS NOT GIVEN Also Dentes that She Signed the Mortgage Which Was Foreclosed—In Addition She Wants a Qult Cluim Signed by Herself Set Aside. About 100 acres of valuable land just north of the city on Harrison street are involved in litigation as the result of the financial dif- culties in which W. H. Foster was involved | when he disappeared from his home here two years ago last February, A judgment was obtained against him in the superior court by the Portsmouth Savings bank in October, 1893, and the sherift sold the greenhouse | formerly owned by Foster and executed a | deed last Friday. Now Dorothea Foster, the [ wite of the missing man, commences a_suit | in the district court to have this deed set | aside and the title to the property put back in her name, The Portsmouth Savings bank, J. F. Wilcox, H. G. McGee, and J. R. Rice appear as defendants, After reciting the facts connected with the disappearance of Mr. Foster and the sale of property by the sheriff, the petition alleges | that the sale was clearly illegal, in that the | court had no jurisdiction. The only service of notice of the suit was upon a member of the missing man’s family, and this was void, inasmuch as he had ceased to be a member of the family. The record further shows an attempted service by publication, but fails to show that Foster was a non-resident of the state of lowa. ‘The defendants had no knowledge of his place of residence, and the plaintiff alleges that he is in reality not a non-resident of the state. Mrs, Foster also attacks the legality of the mortgage under which the sale took place, alleging that she did not join with her hus- band in signing it. Or if she did sign It, she was not in a condition to know of it, as at the time she was subject to a nervous and mental derangement that incapacitated her for business dealings. In addition to asking that the sale be set aside, she asks that a quit claim deed which she gave J. R. Rice and H. G. McGee about threc months before her husband’s disappearance may be set aside, on the ground that her husband did not sign it and it is therefore void. QUANTITIES LIMITED, Prices the Lowest.

BRAKEMAN KEPT HIS NERVE., Rushed in and Uncoupled Some Gasoline Tanks from a Hurning Car, G. F. Burnham, a Rock Island brakeman, whose residence is in Stuart, had an exeiting experience Friday night. While the fast frelght was in Shelby, about 10:40 o'clock, a car caught fire from some unknown cause. Next to the blazing car were four other: cars loaded with gasoline. The fire was creeping nearer and nearer to the gasoline tanks, and it soon became evident that unless something was done speedily the whole train, and per- haps the town as well, would be apt to go. Burnham had his nerve with him, and so made a rush through the flames to the coup- ling, which he unfastened and returned as he had come. He was badly burned, particularly on the hands. An engine was quickly hitched to the rest of the train and the four cars that were. loaded with the dangerous fluid were hauled to a place of safety. A few minutes more and they would have been destroyed. The place where the burning car was standing was not far from a lot of grain elevators, and had there been a gasoline ex- plosion the probability is that the grain ele- vators and a good share of the town of Shelby would have followed. Burnham was brought to the office of the road surgeon, Dr. Thomas, in this city, and his injurles were cared for. It will be tfiree weeks before he will be able to use his hands, Kobbed the \Well. Oscar Hughes, the young man who robbed James Middleton's trunk of a lot of valuables a year ago, walved examination bound over by Judge McGee yesterday morn- ing to the grand jury on the charge of larceny. In default of a $300 bond he was taken to the nty Jail for safe keeping. During the day Hughes told many contradic- tory stories, but at last told one which, al- though it did not agree with any he had told before, impressed the officers that it might be true. 'He sald that the gold watch would be found at the botom of a well in the rear of his stepfat ‘s house at 816 Avenue C. the house a visit and found that the well was about forty feet deep and had perhaps elghteen inches of water. A great crowd of nelghbors quickly gathered and commenced bombarding the officers with questions as s00n as they saw that a trip into the bowels of the earth was projected. One man asked if it was a part of the marshal's business to clean the wells of the city, while another “llowed they might be goin' to'find a dead man wot had been throwed in."” Little satis- faction was given all these curious ones, but the officers had plenty of fun at their ex- pense. At last a man was sent down in the well, and after feeling around a few minutes signalled to be hauled up again. He had the watch in his pocket, considerably disfigured, but enough in the ring so that it could be told what it had been. Hughes has told the officers what he did with all the property he stole, so that there may be a show for Middleton to recover what he has lost.

Mrs. Willlam McMicken's reading, and Miss Mabel Thompson's recitation were attractive teatures of the program.

General Officers Iu Session in Chicago— Cleveland Not Censured, CHICAGO, Dec. 1.—The general officers of the National Women's Christian Temperance union have been in session in their temple here since last Saturday, Lillian M. N. Stevens, vice president-at-large, presiding in Miss Wil- lard’s absence, she having returned to Boston immediately upon adjournment of the national convention, lest additional fatigue should prove too much for her strength, Among other important measures it has been decided to make especial effort on the line of organization during the year to come, Mrs. Katherine Lente Stevenson, national cor- responding secretary, having been made su- perintendent of the department. Strong reso- lutions have been passed on concerning the work among the colored people of the south | and also concerning putriotic teachings in the | public schools. It has been also decided by them that the delegates to the World's Women's Christian Temperance union convention to be held in London in June, 1885, shall also be fraternal delegates to the convention of the B, W. 8.

Jury In the Case of the Detroit Banker Could Not Agri DETROIT, Dec. 1.—The jury in the case of Frederick Marvin, ex-cashier of the Third National Bank, charged with embezzling, after being locked up all night, reported this morning that they were unable to agree, and were discharged. The jury stood aix to six from first to last.

There was a lively special meeting of the members of the Live Stock Exchange yester- day afternoon with about forty men present. The principal subject discussed was a reso- | lution to compel all speculators at the yards to give a bond to the exchange of $5,000. Some were In favor of the proposition and others were opposed to it. The whole matter was finally referred back to the executive board to be reported upon at the next regular meeting, which will be on Monday. The speculators at the South Omaha yards have never been asked to give a bond. While the matter has been talked of at times no action was ever taken by the exchange until yesterday. Speculators here have quite a snap, comparcd to the regular commission men. The latter are compelled to give a safe bond of $10,000 to the stock yard com pany. When the shipper sends stuff to a speculator it has to pass through the hands of a commission firm. This firm is held re- sponsible by the yard company for freight- age, yardage, and whatever ordinary expense is incurred. The speculator is given an open order by the commission firm, and may then go and buy and sell an unlimited amount. He is not required to give any bond whatever, and in case anything crooked should turn up in the deal the commission firm s held responsible to the shipper and the speculator has nothing at stake except his good credit. There have been instances where heavy iosses were sustained through the fact tnat certain persons were not re- sponsible, Mr. T. J. Mahoney, who is attorney for the exchange, was present at the meeting and gave the members an idea of the legal phase of the proposition. Mr. Frank Cooper, who for years has been one of the head men of the Live Stock ex- change at Kansas City, was present. He was asked to inform the members how the spectilators were handled in his town, and talked freely on the subject. In Kansas City the yard company, he said, stood be- tween the shipper and the speculator. That is, the yard company took the responsibility until the stuff was cashed. In turn the speculators gave a bond to the yard com- pany, which made it very satisfactory all around. When he had finished talking about specula- tors, Mr. Cooper spoke of what an immense meoting and good time the National Live Stock exchange was going to have in St Louis on the 7th and 8th of this month, and he urged that Omaha send down. a large del- egation. His remarks were well taken, and the following thoroughbred live stock men were chosen delegates: T. B. McPherson, J. 8. Knox, Ab Waggoner, W. B. Cheek, W. 1. Stephen, J. D. Martin, W. N. Babcock and A. L. Lott. Attorney T. J. Mahoney will accompany the boys in order to see that they do mot get tangled up in any illegal resolutions. This delegation leaves Wednes- day afternoon. CAUSED A SCATTERING. Deputy Sheriffs Trying to Get Hold of Threo Gamblers. There was great consternation in the gambling fraternity in South Omaha for a short time last evening. A tip reached the proprietors of one house that some person had gone before Judge Scott and sworn out complaints for three gamblers. Who the three men were was not given out. In order to be on the safe side the porter and other help about the place went to work at a lively rate carting out the layouts, checks and all loose furniture. This frightened the players and there was a stampede for thee| stairway. In an instant the word was passed on down N street, and there was an- other skirmish to hide the paraphernalia. Everything portable was removed except an elaborate free lunch, consisting of spring chicken, turkey, rabbit and other good things. As some of the players passed hur- riedly through the hallway they made a grab at the lunch, so that by the time the ex- citement was over there was not much left. Across the street the playing was kept up for a half hour longer, when the word came up that the sheriff was coming, and then there was a scattering. Men fairly trampled over each other to get out of the place. It was the same way at all of the houses. There are four of them here, and each one pays a ‘“donation” of $50 a month into the city treasury. Presently Deputy Sheriffs Mahoney, Rosenz- welg and Carroll appeared and then it be- came known that the warrants were for Dick Berlin, Tom Haley and James Heffner, who conduct a house at Twenty-fourth and N streets. The warrants were issued on complaint of a Mr. Pyburn. The men wanted could' mot be found. All the other houses opened their doors when it was known whom the warrants were for. Thelr Annual Ball: The paid firemen of South Omaha have arranged for thelr annual ball to take piace on the evening of December 7. It will be held at Bauer's hall. A large number ct tickets has been sold, and the fire laddies anticipate a great big time on that occasion An excellent orchestra has been secured, and nothing will be left undone by the firemen to make the occasion pleasant for their patrons, The program consists of twenty-six numbers. The committees are as follows: Master of Ceremonies—Chief F, M. Smith, Committee of Arrangements—D. C. Gar- rett, W. L. Holland, D. Regan, J. S. Walters, F. Koutsky, E. P. Conley.

It has been almost four weeks since he was stricken, | and he has come out of thé ordeal looking well. It has proved quite an expensive thing for South Omaha, however, for the bills will foot up about $300, or possibly more by the time all of them are in. The nurses get $5 a day, and the grocery and meat bill has been no ‘small item, to say nothing of the cost of articles that had to be purchased to furnish the pest house. The house even had to be moved from South Omaha to the place where it now stands. The doctor bill will no doubt cut a figure in the list, 50 by the time the wholo matter is settled up the city council will have to make arrangements to borrow & few hundred dollars.
