CITY CORDIALS.
Tom Parmcle and Will Stadleman,
two of our young sports, challenge any
two boys in the city under 1G years to
shoot twenty-five glass balls, eighteen
yards rise. They are open for engage
ment any time.
There will be a meeting of Encamp
ment No. 3, I. O. O. F. tonight at their
lodge room. The meeting will be held
for the purpose of installation of officers.
A full attendance is earnestly requested.
Ky order of the chief patriarch. L. O.
Larson, secretary.
The base ball club of the supply de
partment of the B. & SI and champions
of the store house clubs, will play the
carpenters' club, the champions of the
mechanical department, tomorrow after
noon on the ball ground on "Fitz's Forty"
south of the city. The game will be
called at 5 o'clock, sharp. It is expected
that these two clubs will play a fine game.
Mr. J. C. Eikenbary returned from
Camp Clark, Cheyenne county, last night,
where he has been for the past few days.
This morning he was called to Greenwood
to secure a man by the name of Owens,
from Broken Bow. an accomplice of Mc
Qee, who obtained money in this vicinity
under false pretenses. Owens had his
preliminary hearing at Greenwood this
morning.
Mr. J. C. Eikenbary is nursing a sore
hand which has caused him considerable
trouble since it was injured. The sore
originated from a scratch which he re
ceived from Mack Jones, the insane man
whom he took to the asylum at Lincoln
a short time ago. Jones in one of his fits
scratched his hand severely between the
thumb and first finger, and since then his
arm has been swollen to his shoulder.
The sore has been quite a source of an
noyance. An error occurred in a local yesterday
which stated that a club from Weeping
Water played a club of this city on the
ball grounds. A club consisting of the
young clerks played a club of boys known
as the "Browns." The game ended in
favor of the clerks by a score of 23 to 21.
The young clerks have been crowing
considerable over their success, as they
say the boys of the Browns held them
selves away up in professional estimation,
and since the clerks defeated them they
feel a little sore.
Dr. James L. Thayer, general agent
for Sam MacFlinn's great shows, is in the
city today negotiating for that company.
If a desirable location can be secured the
show will visit our city for three days,
the 13th. 14th and 1.1th. This i n W i
termed a ten cent show, but it is claimed
they give a performance which is equal
to many which people are taxed 50 cents
to see. This company consists of thirty
five people, and among them are first
class artists. Their tent covers lGOxUO
feet, and they have their own curs.
As the passenger train from the cast
wa3 running into the Pacific Junction
yard last evening at the rate of about
fifteen miles an hour, two of the coaches
on the rear of the train were thrown from
the track and badly damaged while pass
ing a switch. We could not learn for
certain, the cause of the accident, but it is
supposed to be a defective switch on the
Y which the train runs in on. The pas
sengers were thrown around the cars very
roughly and it is a wonder some did not
receive severe injuries, but none have
been reported as yet. One coach was
turned crossways on the track, and tore
loose from the train. The rest of the train
ran about 100 feet off the track before it
could be stopped. If the train had been
going at any great rate of speed, some of
the passengers would surely have been
killed.
The forty young ladies who held a
a picnic yesterday afternoon were quite
successful in their efforts to entertain
themselves. The grounds known as
"Fitz's forty" was the location selected
for their picnic and on the whole, a very
pleasant time was had by all. It is one
of the finest quarters in the city to spend
one of these scorching afternoons and it
is a wonder that such a favorable resort
is not taken advantage of more than it is.
The ground is well shaded by large tree
and the place has a fascinating appear
ance. What was most surprising wa to
learn that these young ladies did not re
quest the company of their young gentle
men friends and recognize leap year
which only comes once in four years and
which is the only year such an opportu
nity is afforded them. They 6hoild be
prohibited a leap year recognition in the
future. No doubt the young men who I
have been slighted in this way will swear
by all the leap years that are to . come
that the young ladies will eorely remem-t-r

Tha Deep Water Convention.
Denvek, July 23, 1888. To His Ex
cellency, the Governor of the State of
Nebraska Dear Sir: I have the honor
to invite your attention to the following
resolutions adopted at a convention held
at Fort Worth :
Wiieueas, All the states and territor
ies west of the Mississippi river are inter
ested in the pressing need of a deep wa
ter port on the coast of the State of
Texas; and
WrtEKKAs, Denver, Colorado, being
centrally located and yery accessible to
all the vast sections of country interested;
therefore be it
llesolced. That the citizens of Denver
be requested by their delegates to this
convention to call an inter-state Deep
Water convention to be held in that city,
at such date as they may see fit, not later
than August 28, 1888.
In accordance with the resolutions by
the Deep Water convention held at Fort
Worth, Texas, on July 10, and in com
pliance with the request made by the
committee of the Denver chamber of
commerce and board of trade, and the
Colorado real estate exchange, I hereby
call an inter-state Deep Water convention
of the states and territories west of the
Mississippi river, to be held at Denver,
on the 28th day of August, 1888.
The basis of representation to that con
vention will be as follows:
Two delegates from each senatorial
district, to be appointed by the governor
of the state or territory; one delegate to
be appointed from each county, to be
appointed by the board of county com
missioners, or by the chairman of said
board; five delegates from each chamber
of commerce, board of trade or commer
cial body in the various cities; one dele
gate from each town having a population
of three thousand or less, to be appoint
ed by the mayor or the president of the
trustees cf such town; in each city or
town having a population of over three
thousand inhabitants, one additional del
egate for each 5,000 inhabitants or frac
tion thereof; five delegates from each
editorial association in the states and
territories interested.
In all cases when delegates are appoint
ed an equal number of alternates shall be
appointed by the same authority.
The purpose of this convention is to
secure the united and harmonious action
of the middle and western states in a
movement looking to the establishment
of a deep water harbor somewhere upon
the Gulf of Mexico.
So important will be the influence of
such a harbor upon the prosperity of ev
ery farmer, artisan, miner and citizen of
the great west that it should impel every
official to whom this call is directed to
take prompt and effective action that will
result in a great and influential conven
tion. Yours Truly,
Ai.va Adams,
Governor of Colorado.
What pleases the eye and tickles the
fancy more than the appeal ance on the
streets of our country cousins who have a
few moments previous joined themselves
in the holy bonds? They are generally
so wholly wrapped up in their affection
for eacli other that the many spectators
who are always on the streets are unno
ticed, and their cooing is about
as loud and their affection as apparent as
though they were all by themselves in
some secluded spot where no intruder
might annoy them. Yesterday after
noon the reporter was afforded the
sight and his whole attention was drawn
thither'forjsome time. The young couple
he was allowed the pleasure of feasting
his eyes on were as apparently wrapped
up in each other's thoughts as is general
ly the case in such a case. Their eyes
would meet and a smile would creap
over the visage of each and it would
seem to wring from each heart an inex
haustible extension of love contained
there. The fellow had a grip on the
young lady's arm that assured the specta
tors or the young fellows who looked
and admired that their chances for secur
ing any more than a look were mighty
small. If the jewelers had been on the
alert and charged a moderate fee for a
I- ok into their windows, their pockets,
we are sure, would not have been so
light. The jewelry windows were looked
into and the many sparkling jewels which
they contained, admired. Every fancy
business house of every description which
contained anything that might answer
their purpose, was examined, and not
until the hour hand was about to drop
onto six did the happy young couple
wend their way to the hotel apparently
satisfied with the first few hours' exper
ience of married life.

Mr. Richard Rivett, a former resident

mouth glee club, who has resided in
Lincoln for the past few months, arrived
in the city yesterday afternoon and pleas
ed many of his friends with an interview
Mr. R. Smith who pulled No. 3 from
here to Lincoln last Wednesday night,
narrowly escaped what might have been
for him a severe thumping from five of
the Lincoln striking engineers. It is re
ported that as he run his engine into the
round house there that the five men men
tioned turned out the gas light and wait
ed for him to leave the engine and pass
their way. Fortunately for him a heavy
hack man who would just as leave fight
five such men as one, was tackled by the
crowd who made strenuous efforts to
lay him out, thinking they had Smith in
just the right place to even up and get
satisfaction. They were surprised to
think Smith should make such a fine ex
hibition of pugilism and thought
he surely laid in a store of knowl
edge in that line while resting dur
ing the strike. The five would-be slug
gers were knocked in every direction in
less time than it takes to write it by the
supposed Smith, and it was not until
they had all been badly broken up that
they realized the fact that they had tack
led the wrong man a tough hackman
instead of Mr. Smith on whom they swore
vengeance.
Mr. Geo. Boeck, father of Mr. W. A.
Boeck, shoe dealer of this city, who lives
near Murray, met with a very serious and
probably fatal accident yesterday after
noon about 4 o'clock. He was in the act
of tearing down an old windmill which
was located near his house, and when
near the top of it, the whole thing gaye
away, letting him fall a distance of thir
ty feet, on a shed which was attached to
it, and from there he rolled off and fell
to the ground. The windmill is an old
one and its support had rotted away so
that when it gave away and let him down
the whole thing followed. If it had not
been for the shed which protected him
from the fall of the windmill, he would
have been killed instantly without a
doubt, and he was very fortunate, al
though badly injured, not being killed
by such a fall. Two of his ribs were
broken and he received other injuries
which caused him to remain unconscious
until this morning. At present his phy
sician entertains slight hopes for his re
covery. Yesterday afternoon a prominent
young clerk while passing a boarding
house on his way to inspect the sewer
work was covered by slop which acci
dentally struck him when thrown from
an upstairs platform.
