The Turn Verien closou its first an nual fair at their hUon Washing ton avenue hint evening. The fair opened Friday evening. The visi tors were entertained by an enter tainment by the nr.tive turners as sisted by the class composed of younger and more inexperienced members. The exercises inter sperced with excellent music rendered by 1'rof. Heck and Miss Clara Ilerold.

Probably the largest attendance and the most interesting session was hal last evening, lne audi ence was first entertained by the presentation of a ui'Hiim, partici pated in by members of the vcieul. At the conclusion of the dramatic entertainment, the prize drawings, previously provided for, were con ducted. There were seventy-one prizes each to be drawn by the holder of an admission ticket whose number corresponded with the numberby which the prize was des ignated. The value of the prizes ranged from $15 down, among which was a fine rocking chair do nated by Henry Hocck drawn by I'liilip Thierof; also one donated by J. I Unruh drawn by Joe W'url. Followinr the drawing the exer cises concluded with a voting upon the question as to who was the most popular young lady. The candidates were Anna Guthman snd Lena Schrader. The contest wan spirited, resulting in n tie vote, up to within the moment the vot ing was checked, when the friends of the former cast u large piumbcr of votes giving her a majority of forty. The verien will net the neat little sum of J27r which will be judicious ly expended. The fairs will prob ably be held annually hereafter.

A telegram was received in this city yenlerday from Denver convey ing the ad intelligence that Carrie Vass hail peacefully passed nway. The deceased has been afflicted with consumption for several months, and her parents concluded to take her to Denver, cherishing the hope that the change of cli mate would tend to recuperate her failing strength. It was not thought that the end was so near but the past few days she failed so rapidly that all human ai l loving hands could render availed nothing. The deceased was one of Ihc most highly respected and esteemed young ladies in the community and her many friends will sincerely de plore her demise. She finished the course of study in the city schools graduating with the clans of 'H!l.

A Peculiar Case. The controversy between L. G Todd and the Missouri I'acific Is assuming peculiar aspect, .with the probability that it will not be settled this term of court. Upon the announcement of the decision last Wednesday the attorneys for the defendant expressed dissatis faction with the verdict and moved for a new trial, which was promptly overruled bv Indue Hall. The attorneys for the defendant then filed exceptions to his instructions and gave notice that the case would be carried to a higher court. Mr. Wooley, in lehalf of the plaint iff, stated that h' (lid not believe Mr. Todd woul j object to having the cane tried again. The court nd journed and upon reconvening Saturday Mr. Wooley filed hU ex ceptions, which proved to be voluminous in the extreme, indi cating that it is the plaintiff that is experiencing the greater dis satisfaction with the verdict It is indeed remarkable that each of lbs parties in the suit should bedin satisfied with the verdict, but this case appear to be an exception to the general rule. Lodyxl In Jail. Two nard looking individuals were brought from Weeping Vater 3 morning and lodged in the county jail on a charge of highway robbery. It appears that last eve ning the accused attacked a hard working, inoffensive Swede, an ear ployec of the rock quarries near Weeping Water, striking him with car pin, rendering him insensible. The bandits secured but a few dollars. The preliminary examination was held at Weeping Water, at which positive evidence as to the guilt of the accused was introduced. They were bound over to the next term of the district court. Interests o! i fully, j Thin ' and it is Whvwill von couirh when Shi lob's cure will give immediate r: lief.

Thora Wai a Knnway Whera Wild IJr fcaiupered Naar tha School Home, and tht Tearher Conatantly Wntolied Both It aud tua MI:IiItou Toutb. Nicholas Church, one of the oldest bntiters in the Poeono mountains, said to the writer the other day: "Sixty-six years ugo I went to school to AlexanJ';r Diinluir in a little log school bonne down in the Pocono valley, near where Tan nersville now is. An odd character Dunbar was. lie stood over six fet in his socks, he was lean as a crane and he could run like a deer. He ul ways kept a loaded riflo standing by his chair in tiio school house. A few yaHs tip the rotvl there whs a runway where deer crossed the creek. During school hours Dunbar always seemed to have one eye on the runway. He was crazy for hunt Inu, and whenever he saw a deer dash across the road or heard a hound baying in the woods he appeared to forget all about his school for the time being. Without saying a word to any of the scholuM he would grab his rifle, rush out of the house bareheaded and away he'd go after the deer, like an Indian. Sometimes we would see him coming back hi less than an hour with a buck or a doe ilung over his shoulder, and then again maybe we wouldn't see anything of him till the next morning. Dunbar always got a deer if he had to stay on the trail till dark. While ho was off on one of his exciting bunts the children gunerully staid in the little house and had a Efe.it t.'lay spell. When it was time to go home, if Dunbar didn't make his appearance, we dismissed ourselves. After a while some of the parents found out how Dunbar was neglecting bis school, and they hanled him over the coals for it Ihit they couldn t break Dunbar of hie mania for chasing deer. Nothing conld, and after that Duubar told one of the big boys to take charge of the school when he dashed out with his gun. A HARROW ESCAPE. "One day Dunbar had a terrible fight with a wounded buck on Pocono creek. Ue came within an ace of losing his life, bnt he wai just aa crazy to chase deer after that as he was before. I'll show you what kept Dunbar from being killed," continued Mr. Church, and be brought out an old bent and rusty rifle barrel that had once sent bullets flying after game from a flintlock. "Dunbar's gun was ont of kilter," resumed the old hunter, "and I took this rifle to the school house for him to una. It belonged to my father, imA Dunbar rot a chance to us U before night. That afternoon he saw a buck trot down the runway, and be seized the rifle and gave chase. The buck was tak ing it easy, and the longlegged school master banged away at him near the creek. Th? buck plunvd forward and plowed in the snow and Uunbar ran np to cut his throat Just as Dunbar got to him the bnck ronned up and pitched at him savagely. Ho had been shot through the nose, and he was as full of fight as a wounded panther. There was no charge in the rifle, and Dunbar dmpjied his knife and weut to beating the angry buck off with the gun. IIu sxm broke stock aud then he fonght the buck with the barrel, bending it iu thu filitas you see it now. Every time the buck pitched at him Duubar knocked a spike from his antlers, and when il was all over Dunbar had t'iinined every spike from his horns. Ue finally stunned the buck long enough to cut his throat, ami when he lugged tha buck to the school houne he was the raggedi-nt schoolmaster I ever saw, for the game animal had torn his homespun suit into slriiMi with his sa;irp hoof. Dimliar declared that he enjoyed the fi'ht ami was remly for another of the same sort SCHOLARS UKKD IiCNIIAR. hvcry other Saturday there was no school, and Dunbar took tho whole day for hunting. lie got in the habit of coaxing a tame buck that belonged to my folks to follow him into the woods when bo went after dour. Tho buck soon got so that he was tickled to go with the schoolmaster, and before long ho formed the habit of waudering away from Dun bar, making friend with wild deer and (sailing them around where Dunbar oould get shots at them. Dunbar thought the trick was very cunning, and so did we boys, but my father didn't think so V hen ho Ion ml out what Uunbar was doing with the buck he put a stop to the fun by fastening the buck in a pen when' ever Dunbar had a holiday. While 1 think about it I'll tell you what an in genious way Dunbar had to stop whaler ing in the school. lie had a yarn ball ami every time ho caught one of ua whispering he threw tho ball at the whit perer, hitting him or her. The scholar that was hit had to stand in the middle of the room with the ball and throw it at the first onu he caught whispering, and so on all day. e liked tho way Dunbar tried to keep a ilill school."

The following from the Nebraska City Press tells of a narrow escnpe from death Dr. Wntsnn, experienced Hst week: "The doctor, in company with his colored driver, was making liis usual rounds. The colored man was driving. They were driving aiu.-.n Fourteenth street, when all of a sudden one of the horses took it into his head to get gay, nnd began kicking. Of course this frightened the other horse and they started to run nway, one of the animals hav ingby this time managed to place himself ustiide the buggy pole. The driver held on to the fcina and kept the horses from running. Dr, Watson concluded to jump out of the buggy and get nt their head. In jumping out, however, lie was struck by the buggy ton and thrown forward on to the double tree in such a manner that he was unable to extricate himself. The horses continued their foolishness, regardleea of the doctor's predicn ment, nnd finally succeeded is dis lodging him. He fell uuder the IuKfjy nn(I both wheels passed over liis body. The horses were quited, however, nfter they had smashed up the buggy consider ably, the doctor picked himself up, and continued his journey to look after his patients. "T. K." QuartntUs. An audience composed of the finest people of the city assembled atGermania Hall Thursday ,night, to applaud the "T. K."

The Quartette in their singing re minds one of a grand organ, so beautifully do their voices blend, nothing could be finer. An ad dition will have to be built to our Opera House to hold the audience that will greet the "T. K." when they return. Mr. Duncan'u voice was phenomenal. Mr. Hollmun's singing of "My LitthjVVoinan,"lde- served even more than the thunderous applause it met witlr. lie possesses the finest bass voice It baa ever been our pleasure to hear. The "T.
