The benches u edin the old court house have been transferred to Fairiiionnt park , where tlioy have' been placed In shady nooks , for the accommodation of the strollers. On Saturday night Mrs. Margaret Lovcnburgli , aged ( > l ) years , died at her home , in Harden township , after a linger ing Ijlness. Her remains will bo brought to this city to-day and interred in Fairview - view cemetery. The city Is getting too awfully , awfully good to milt the police reporter. The police had not niadn an tirruit since Thursday and the calabooso was empty yesterday , while the jailers are improv ing the opportunity of making up for lost sleep A sensational scandal is said to bo brewing at Karragut , the parties con- coined being among the "lii'li ones. " The afl'air is said to have been hushed for the present , but that the grand jury will bo soon investigating it. The Home steam laundry on Saturday received a 'J.800 pound mangle. The ma chine is eight feet long , and takes such goods as sheets , tablecloths , etc. , right Irom a wringer , and , after pressing them between four rollers , come out dry and all ironed. It seems that although the authorized poll tux collector , Mr. licckman , has but one arm , having lent the other in the army , some able-bodied fellow has been collecting poll taxes without authority. Among those who claim to have thus paid home two-armed man is A. L. Sty- crs , living at No. 80 ! ) Kighth avenue.

It is a bob-tail , and * one-half the time it is so that the passengers have to get on and oil' the front platform. In case of a runaway , or other accident , serious consequences might result.

Ho leaves a wife and CEO son.The remains were taken Satur day to Milwaukee , , ' , ' 'lS former home , and will bo buried under the ansnicuS CI " 'o ' Knights of Pythian. Mr. Keith had a surgical operation performed upon him about aycok ago , in the hope that it might possibly relieve him from certain troubles , but it was in vain , and ho grad ually failed until death relieved him from furt nor sniveling. He was well known here , and leaves many friends , not only in railway circles , but among the travel ing public. Mr. E. Do'ffling has closed out nearly all of his dry goods stock , the romainmg goods having been packed and stored temporarily. Mr. Uowlini * has been in the retail dry goods business many years in this city , ami until he commenced his closing out carried one of the linest Blocks , and in some lines , silks for in stance , has carried one of the largest and linest stocks in the entire west. One of the reasons for his going out of the business is the demands made upon his time and attention by larger and moro profitable enterprises. Ho expects soon to visit the west , where ho has largo stock Interests. The Scandinavian Uaptist church is to * bo dedicated next Thursday , This Is the finest church building owned by this denomination - nomination in the west. The pastor , R'JV. Mr. Keiehcnbaeh , has worked with might and main , and the success ot the enterprise has been wonderful. The church and congregation are not com- posad of wealthy persons , and the neces sary funds have been made up of mites , in the giving of which moro real gener osity and stslf-sacritlco has been shown than in the building of many moro pro- tcntions churches. The building is n credit to the oily itlso , and all should take lively interest in seeing the last dollar of indebtedness paid ell ° and the hocioty placed on a strong linancial basis. John Woodward and George Rudio , two of the best known of Council Uhills r commercial tourists , were in Grand Island recently , Hopping at the Jamie.son koto ) .

THE TALK ABOUT THE TOWN. The Sclinol Boys' Strike A I'cnco OfTerltiK for Decoration lny So cial Happening * Tlio Street Cnr Ijlno Extension. Olintsltli Clmttcrcrs. "Well , what about the order of the chief of police closing up keno , lin/.iint and stud poker ? " asked the Br.B man of tx well known sporting elmructer. "Jt will bo obeyed , J guess. Thny can't help but obey It. It's tle.itl wrong , though , the idoti thtit most folks have about these games bring worse than others , i tell you ti fellow , if he has ti mind to , cun rob at any of the games. Poker , faro , and all of them can bo run crooked if the house wants them rim thai way. " "What is the reason then there is so much of uroar about kcno ? " "Kono is peculiar in one way. Ono homo generally has the big run. The others try to htart a game , but ono place is generally the place that pets tlio bulk of the business. The reason is that where the biggest crowd is , and the pots are thu largest , there is where everybody wants to go. They think there's a show to win fcomething worth winning. They keep Hocking there , and the fellow that has tlio biggest crowd gets all the crowd. Like they talK in .scripture : 'To him that hath shall be given , and from him that hath not shall be taken away that whlcli ho hath. ' That's about the size of it. Then , whom the crowd go to play kcno , the house gets moro to play at other games. A fellow makes a nice little sum at the keno table , and he has then some thing .to play faro with. It is this jealousy among the gamblers themselves which starts all this trouble. " "What is the game at which people can get beat easiest out of their money ? " " 1 tell you they can got the worst of it in any of the games , if the man who handles the cards is bound to bo crooked. It don't pay to run a crooked house , or to have a man deal a game who is crooked. If ho robs the folks that play , the -first thing yon know he will rob the house , if lie gets a chance , and if ho don't got a chance it don t take long for folks to get tired ot being robbed , and the trade of the liouse faus oil' . Then the house has got to depend on roping in suckers and lellows who are not on. Such a house can't get any business from the folks that live hero. They have to lay for strangers , and keep a gang of cappers to coax them in. They get a follow to gu//.lo down a lot of cheap whisky , and then just rob him. If a notiso is bound to rob folks , it don't make any dillerence what games they play. " Another citizen , who seems to have been watching the passing events closely , remarked to the UEB man : "If the al dermen had as much sand as the mayor there would be a big change about the gambling mill saloon business , lie wanted the council to stand by him in some proposed changes , but they thought it was better to wait a while , and move slow. The mayor wanted to have ordi nances passed by which a gambling house could not be connected with a sa loon , and if necessary , not to allow the gambling houses to be within a certain safe distance from any saloon. This would give a victim at least a chance to catch his breath , by haying to go some little distance to get a drink , instead of having a bar f-o near the tables that a fellow can keep up a lively business at both , and bo kept lull of booze until ho has lost all his money. Another move the mayor wanted to do was to force all saloons to do away with card tables and chairs. As it is some fellows go in to got a glass of beer , and they sit down to pju" inst ono game of seven-nnor oucliro , to decide Who ] ] J ? V for the drinks The fellow that get's stuClS civcn a chance to play eon of coui.sc , and"so an other game w had. The lirst thing they know the forenoon is gone , instead of having ono drink they are pretty mellow , work has been neglected , and money wasted. If the saloons were so run that fellows would go in and get what they wanted , and then go out , and there were no chairs or card tublcH. there would not bo so much loaling. Thu council was not anxious to sttum by the mayor in this sort of a move , and bo the thing has gone on as before. "I'll give yon ono pointer. It will bo many a year before Iowa has a license law again , " bald one who had been in directly interested In the saloon business. "Tho drug stores are the ones who are going to make the money now. The druggists will have the handling of the liquor business. There is no doubt they will handle it better than the saloons have , but they will make so much money out of it that they won't over want to let go. When there is any talk of having any sort of license law , yon will lind the druggists through the state joining with the prohibitionihts to defeat such a bill. They will add a good deal of strength to thu prohibitionists , and will about succeed In defeating any plan for licensing sa loons.

Wood , 501 Alain. Wen tlicr to lie or Not to Do. The X , Y , Ti. club , composed of young ladles connected with the Congrega tional church and society , has been pecu liarly unfortunate In selecting dates for their entertainments. Every time for mouths pa&t , when an entertainment has been announced it has rained or stormed EO that the public could not Gt out to give the patronage which the society liud tho.rlght to expect , and which their ef forts certainly merited. It has become almost u certainty that if the X. Y. 2. club fixes on n date for an cntertuinmeht , rain comes on that dato. Not long ago the young ladles concluded that the weather had settled , and so arranged for a horseback ride nnd Hipper. The rain came , nnd the affair was postponed. La&t Friday it was to bo attempted again , but the rain camo. The young ladies gave a pleasant entertainment in the evening , hut all outside amusement hud to be de ferred. So many of these ventures have been spoiled by bad wcalhor , nnd eo many prospective financial profits taken away , that the society has now hit upon : i plan for making up the losses of the past. They will wait now until there has been so much dry vyuather that everybody is praying for ruin , and when the thira of the land is urgent , they will pass around n subscription paper and if the tlonr pro- plo wfll Biibscnbp enough they will an- nouuro nn entertainment. This will bring the deferred rain , nnd the public can at such a tiino aft'ord to pay well for it. The entertainment will consist of un umbrella sociable , lluch lady will bu hidden bcncntli an umbrella , and the young gontlcmcu will pick out their um brellas , taking to supper whoever is found beneath it. The X. Y. / . club does not propose to bo ruined by unfortunate weather , and this scheme will doubtless bring many dollars into their trehsury. ii- Go to Heard for loom mouldings. llelslcr cells the best J5c and lOc cigars in the market.

J. Brown. After finishing their drive a representative of the Bun had a short conversation with Air. Orr in regard to the improvements that are about to bo nnulo in this city by the Jnion Pacific He seemed rather disinclined to talk on the subject , but with his usual courtesy remarked : " 1 think our folks arc disposed to do some thing for your city , but am not at liberty , or , in fact , 1 might say , 1 don't really know what they will do. " "Mr. Orr , wo feel as if the Union Paci fic could give us better street car facili ties \vith little expense , and at the same time it certainly would bo n paying in vestment. Do you think the ollioials of the road look upon the schema to c.xtcnd their street car tracks to Fail-mount park witli favor ? " said the BKE man. ' 'Air. Brown was talking about that , and 1 think in the course ot a mouth or .so you will see borne big changes for the better. "Ho , I cannot say if the street car track will be laid on Tenth avenue or not. 1 don't know what the arrange ments arc to be. Possibly Air Callaway will be oviv in a few days.

The little 0-year-older came home from school Friday noon for his dinner , wild with excitement and gushing with enthu siasm , "I toll you we've got a big strike down to the Bloomer building All the boys are going to btrik'o. They're getting their names signed now , and this after noon I'm going to give 'cm my name. " "What's the strike about ? " "Why , we're lust going to have school from 8 o'clock ' in the morning until 1 o'clock , and wo ain't going to have any school in the afternoon , but just play all the afternoon every day. Won't that bo jolly , though ? " "But what if the teachers do not let yon ? " "Why , they'll have to. I tell you there's about a hundred beys that are going to strike , and they will knock the teachers jiibt silly if they don't ' let them. " When the Jittle fellow came homo from the afternoon session , anxious inquiry was made as to the success of the .strike. "Oh , rats !

Heretofore every summer there has been an agreement drawn up and prcscntcci tC t'10 ' different merchants to sign. In most every Inslf. CC tllc a 9c' ment has been signed by a laigo niaji/ " 1 of the merchants , but by a few refusing to sign It the consequence has been that all tlio stores have been kept open until 8 or 0 o'clock in the evening. The clerks think if they can get an organization composed of u few of the clerks in each of the stores that after thoroughly exchanging - changing views on the subject the clerks in each store can influence their employ ers better than by asking them to sign a binding agreement.

On Saturday morning the local agent of the Chicago , Alihyaukco vfe St. Paul railway received notice to reduce the second end class faro to Chicago to ? 8.00. It will be. remembered that on the Sat urday previous , this same road made a second class rate to Chicago , it being the only second class rate to Chicago for a long while. All the roads running east in the course of two or three days also made a second class rate , and now the Milwaukee comes to the front with an other reduction. None of the other railroad ticket of fices had up to last night received orders to "cut" from their $ .oO rate , but all the agents say they will meet the ligures of other roads , whether they have orders to or not , : ilmy rate travel east is very light and few tickets can be sold , no mat ter how low the rale goes. The Milwaukee rona seems to bo forc ing the light , and if tlio other roads come to the ? 8.00 rate , which they no doubt will , the public may then look for a $7.00 second class rate to Chicago shortly. f Room Mouldings Largest as ortmenb and lowest prices at Beard's Wall Paper Snore.
