AHABIAN ACUOUATS' ROW.
Following the domestic trouble of Prof.
Achllle Phlllon. In which a former wife at
tempts to harass him wltn threats of prose
cution for bigamy , comes a row In the camp
of the Arabian acrobats whj have been giv
ing tumbling exhibitions at the same local
pleasure resort graced by the spiral man ,
1'hlllon. St Hassan Ben All , chief fugleman
of the aggregation , swore at the police sta
tion torl y that several of his aggregation
were threatening to desert and break their
contract with him to go to Cincinnati and
tumble In the prcsenc of the crowned and un
crowned heads of the Ohio metropolis. While
Ben Alt was at the police court. Salaam Nas-
flon , the Hercules of the troupe , was at a
justice's court claiming that Den All owed
him money and was about to skip out with
out paying the same. To Justice Spencer
Kasson said that If such trouble should
arise between himself and H.iHsan Ben Alt
there would be no resort to court. The dis
putants would meet and settle the matter vie
ct armls. It would be a duel to the death
nnd winner take all. In tin event of this
kind It would be a standoff so far as pool :
are concerned , ns Ben All Is the great tum
bler of the troupe , while Nasson stands still
nnd holds halt a dozen of his compatriots at
arm's length without an apparent effort. They
would put up a fight worth more than the
Impending Corbett-Fltrslmmons mill In the.
Lone Star state. After Ben All's goods were
attached he replcvlned them and put up $275
In greenbacks for a bond. He left tonight

WILCOX , Neb. , July 18. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Two and seventy-Ilve-hundrcdths
Inches of rain fell Saturday night , and six-
tenths today. Prospects for a good corn and
potato crop wore never better. Small grain ,
on nn average , will make two-thirds of a
crop.
GRAND ISLAND , July 18. ( Special. )
This morning an elegant shower again favored
this county. It cannot be said that crops
were refreshed thereby , for they were In no
actual need of moisture. But for the rain ,
however , the prospects were that It would
have been a hot , windy day , and the preclp-
Ititlon is taken as a great blessing on that
account. If the blades of any of the corn In
this county have begun to roll up on account
of dry weather , as Indicated by the Nebraska
crop report , It Is not In this section of the
state , where the report created some surprise.
LINCOLN , July 18. ( Special Telegram. )

corn.
corn.WEST POINT. Neb. . July 18. ( Special. )

days has rlpaned small grain rapidly. Har
vest has commenced , early barley and oats
and some wheat being cut , and In two or
three days late oats and the main wheat
crop will be sccurtd. The small grain stands
five feet high and so heavy that a strong
wind would level It. The greatest yield for
many years Is In sight. Corn looks line.
Many fields are showing ears and the malu
crop l fully two weeks In advance of last
year. With a few showers during the next
two weeks the corn crop ls made. It Is of
a very healthy color nnd stands well. Early
potatoes are ripe and are yielding largely.
Cunilng county never had better crop pros
pects than now In the memory of the oldest

have now secured a net gain of fifty-five

least 100. The unionists have gained three
seats in Wales.
There was a rumor current tonight that
there had been a recount In West Leeds to
day , giving Colonel North a majority over
Rt. Hon. Herbert Gladstone. The rumor was ,

persons wearing unionists favors. The police
were obliged to charge repeatedly and to
use their clubs. The mounted police are now
patrolling the streets.
