On Friday last a number ot people
/rom tlio city were attracted to the fair
which wns then in progress at I'\plllon. ; !
Ono of tin- farces of tliu attraction was
the rnees. It wns not expected , of course ,
that thesis would m any manner compare
wilh tlin'-u whiuh liml previously taken
place iu Oiu.iha , but there WHS
n feeling on the part of many
to encourage the enterprise of thulr
neighbors over the lino. With the resi
dents of Snrpy county , however , the gov
erning itk'ii was to .see n race which they
might consider worthy of appreciation.
From reports which liavn renohi'd this
citv it is fair ( o infer that neither the
people from this citv nor those from
Harpy were sntisliud ut least with one of
the features of last Friday's pro
gramme. That wns the free-for-all
in which it had been announced that
there would have to lie at least four en
tries and three starters. The fourth
entry , It is understood , was mmlu in a
'
pool'iug manner , and thu lirst liuat saw
three starters , Ethan Allen. l > v Thomp
son , of this city ; Little I'ress , by Harry
Clark , of 1'apillion , and May Clark , by
Billy llourton , of this city. After a suc
cessful start , it wan circulated that mem
bers of thu lair association got , together
and decided to declare thu race oil' , The
heat was trotted , however , Littlu I'ress
winning in ' . ! . 10. .May Clark second , and
Eliam Allen third. Thompson , it is
claimed , having had the worst of the heat
objected to the racu being carried on
any further , but thu judges paid no at
tention to the claim , and , although they
had learned that thu association had de
cided to declare the race oil' , they paid
no attention to their determination , and
ordered thu horses up for the second
heat. All thu animals appeared and thu
second heat was trotted , the judges hold
ing that the race having been begun , it
would have to continue to n close. In
this heat May Clark won in Jll ! : , thu fast
est time ever mactu on the track at Pnpil-
lion , Littlu Press second and Ethan
Allen hist. Thompson again
objected , and on the ground
that he had not complied
with the requirements of the race by
not paying his entrance money the ntoht
before thu race , demanded back the
money he had paid a few minutes before
thu lirst heat was commenced. The
judges were opposed to this , and ono of
these was thu secretary of the associa
tion. Their opposition nice-used Thomp
son , and it is claimed that he put himself
in a mood and attitude to castigate thu
judicial gentlemen , who declined to ac
cede to Ids wishes. The starter , how
ever , it seems , was not intimidated , and
took occasion to remind the objecting
driver of oilier objections of the latter at
the fair a 3 ear ago , and at the same time to
express an opinion of the driver's nature
as a gentleman disposed to indulge in
what is metaphorically styled a kick. At
this stage of the proceedings the presi
dent of the lair association appeared and
told the drivers they might linish thu
race , but all they would got at its close
would bo that which they had paid as en
trance foes. Thompson immediately de
manded his money , which ho received.
Billy Houston felt that ho did not want
to run his mare and got no more than ho
had paid , and aciiordihgly suc
cumbed to the strange circumstances
and withdrew. Chirk , nowcvor , decided
upon a ditt'urunl course , and encouraged
by the judges , alone trotted two more
heats , which of course ho won , and in
time given him by the judges. He claims ,
now , that ho has won the race. He re
fused his entrance money and proposes
to sue thu association tor lirst money ,
which was $70.
This unfortunate mcdly of affairs , to
gether with the unwarranted action of
the association , especially in view of
the opposition of the nidges , cause
n great deal of disappointment
to the patrons , and unless something is
done to wipe out jts recollection will un
doubtedly act injuriously to the fair
association across the border.

A sad accident , that camu near proving
fatal , occurred yesterday to the little two-
year old daughter of Air. O. D. Carnes ,
the well known manager of the Minne
apolis Harvester company , residing at
1121 Pier. Mr. Carnes hail procured a
bottle of patent corn medicine which
contained a largo percentage of arsunio
and sulphuric acid. The medicine had
left upon a reasonably high shelf , but the
little one , by climbing upon n chair ,
reached the bottlu and before anyone
couhl pruvunt it. swallowed nearly all of
thu contents. Thu eil'ect was immediate
and the child was thrown into convul

most Htrenuous mcasnrus succeeded in
relieving thu stomaohof the little millurcr
ot its.poisonous load. The child still 10-

AUVENTUllIJ WITH A IiUNATlC.
A Demented Visitor to lilnlnRor &
Mntcnlf'R ICHtnMlHliinciit ,
A very humorous incident nt the same
time tinged with sadness on account of
thn unfortunate victim occurred at the
mammoth agricultural implement estab
lishment of the Liningor itMetcalf com
pany the other day. One of thu men con
nected with the wagon warehouse was
suddenly startled In the midst of his du
ties by a well dre scd man , hatlcss and
dishevelled , and a wild glare In his eyes
rushing in through the door. Ho darted
under a wagon and crouched there liku
ono pursued by a million licnds. His
eyes gleamed with terror and Ins body
shook like onu alllicted with the Michigan
ague. The chattering of his teeth resem
bled the rataplr.u that your neighbor's
boy bents on the picket fence with his
playful llttlu stick just when your neural
gia is captain of your cranium ship.
Finally he managed to mutter : "There
they are ! There limy are ! Four of 'em
with revolvers ! Don't let 'em shoot !
Don't let 'em shoot. "
"Come out of there ! " said the ware
house man , thinking ho had a frightful
example to deal with.
Thu poor fellow obeyed at once
when it was seen thoru was no
case of snakes , but a. woe begone.
lunatic. The non-rellectivu mirror of
the mind told its sad story at once , while
a few questions corroborated the evi
dence furnished the eye of even a casual
observer. Without any intention to
make sport of human inlinnity , the man
in charge of wagon sales , who only got a
rear view of the stranger , was told ho
wanted to make a purchase. With a
quick cyu to business , which is a second
nature with all men connected with tills
establishment , the wagon agent came
forward , full cocked for a sale shot. Ho
had jiHt got ' 'Yes , sir ; what style do
you " when the stranger's mindless
t'aco struck him. That there was no
purchase there was plain , for no crazy
man buys one of thu wagons sold by Lin
inger As Mutcalf.
imnlly the cla/ed ono saw the books in
thu olliee and imagined ho wns in a lintel
and expressed a desire to register if they
would only keep away the "four revolver
fellows who were following him. " Thou
hu sat down by a link ot stovu pipe , sav
ing it was awfully cold. Again he caught
sight of thu stenographer , and told the
latter that hu thought hu looked old
enough to have passed the "pot-hook"
period and should have reached the
writing period. All ihoeo and many
other uncanny things ho did whilu
an answer to a call for tlio po
lice authorities was awaited. Thu man
seemed to have received a good educa
tion. His senseless utterances were
clothed in good words , and his manner
through tlio mist of lunacy showed good
breeding. He said his name was John
Waldo , that ho was a clerk in the 15. > &
M. olllecs at St. Louis , and was on his
way to Hastings , Neb. Finally the patrol
wagon arrived , and the man was banded
over to the proper authorities. Thus ended
a rather interesting day for the indus
trious employes of the Lininger & Mel-
calf company. The "four revolver fel-
ler.s" very likely have done no shooting
yet. _
Pugilistic
There is an increasing interest in the
glove contest between James McCormack -
mack and Al. Marx which will
take place at the exposition annex
on next Saturday evening. Both men
arc in excellent trim anil will bo in
great shape for thu bout , which will be
for the championship modal and the en
tire gate receipts.
Mike Fitzgerald , who was worsted by
Marx in the contest nt Cunningham hall
during fair week , has bobbed
up again and now wants
to meet Marx in an eight round contest
for the out ire gate receipts. As Marx has
ono meeting on his hands his manager ,
Captain O'Mnlloy , has decided not to ac
cept Fitzgerald's challenge until after
the McCorniack-Marx contest , and then
give Fitzgerald a chance to meet the
winner if ho is still spoiling for a spat.
Dune McDonald , the Montana cham
pion , who made a play some time ago of
being anxious to comu to Omaha to
parnly/.o the winner of the com
ing contest , has taken refuge
behind a request of a $500 guarantee and
will bo counted out in the preparation
for future contests.
Mike Burke , the Iowa champion , is
still in the city and nuthouses the issu
ance of a challenge to the winner of the
coming contest.
Jack Hurl : , who went to San Francisco
to meet Dcmpsoy , will bo in Omaha in a
few days , his proposed meet with Dump-
soy having been postponed until late in
November.
Her Iliislmml Found.
The woman Mrs. Scott , whoso troubles
have been mentioned in the HIE for the
hist two days , has nt last found her hus
band. There w.is considerable trouble ,
however , ooforo the happy dcnoumcnt
camu about. The husband is working on
thu H. & M. track , a few miles south of
the city. Some ono , who had read the
account of his wife's troubles in these
columns , informed Scott , and yesterday
morning ho came to the Union Pacific
depot and sought information of the
whereabouts of his wife and children
from handsome Charley Mares. Ho was
taken to the Hotel Garni , where at last
accounts the women and children wore.
A disappointment was mot , for It seemed
the woman's scanty funds had run out ,
and a removal in the patrol wngon to
police headquarters occurred. Thither
Scott went , and anothur disappointment
was in store for him , for his wife and
children hud boon taken totno poor farm.
Hero thu husband broke down and In
dulged in a regular fominluo crying spell ,
Finally ho mustered up courage enough
to visit Muiuheor Mnhonoy's farm , pro
cured his family , and stalled down to the
U. & M. gradu in the afternoon. From
all appearances Mr. Scott is not a very
thrilty man , and thu family are in very
poor circumstances , In conversation
with r. HUB reporter ho said , among
other tilings , that thu only way ho could
shelter bio wife and little ones was under
canvas in other words , lie was going to
camp out. This is not a very desirable
season for such a inodo of living , espe
cially as till of the live childton are .young
and delicate. Their lot is an unenviable
OHO. _ _
Thnt All Around Creel : .
The examination of 0. W. Phillips , the
wholesale stcalur of railroad men's
clothing , and other articles of minor
value , took place yesterday in the police
court. The examination really was n
more legal formality , for Phillips admit
ted that he had been engaged in the pur
loining business for over a year , and the
combined results of his thefts -,7011111 fully
equal the amount of 500 or $000. Ho
would not state , however , whore the
property was , and very likely ho did not
know , having disposed of it as soon as ho
could. Hero was the rub. Although the
man was a notorious thief , under the law
ho could only bo tried tor such indepon-
dc.-nt acts ns could bo definitely proved ,
and for which the identical stolen prop
erty could bo produced. Hence , the fol
low only got thirty days In the county
jail , the tir.st and the last ten on bread and
water , A little instance occurred during
the examination which shows plainly
what manner of manjl'hilllpsls. A brakeman -
man present said the shirt the prisoner
had oil had been stolen from him ( the
hraLenuui ) , and to prove tUo assertion bo
the number of the make , COOL
Sure enough , when the collar band was
turned over there was the tell-tale num
bers. The sentence is a light ono It is
true , but it is ail that could bo given.
Phillips can rest assured , however , that
he can never rest at liberty in these parts ,
for tlio railroad men will not haye it that
way. They all insist on his having a frco
pass to the BIull's , which is something un
usual for railroad men to do that Is ,
deadhead any one.
Iteform Club.
The \V. C. T. U. Buckingham hall was
filled with an appreciative audience last
night , the cause being the regular Satur
day night entertainment given by the
Omaha Ik-form club. The president , Mr.
Mills , called the meeting to order and in
the absence of the chaplain , Mr. W. N.
MeCandlisli , conducted the opening de
votional ovureises. The subject of
"Goats" was elucidated with illustrations
by Dr. Wilson , to the amusement of the
assembly. The reading of thu club
paiier. the Heform Club Record , by the
president , followed. The paper , though
small , was ftllud with pointed articles on
the subject of temperance. Short contri
butions are solieited by the publishers.
They may bo left at the Buckingham in
care of Mrs. Clark. Miss Cora McCaud-
lish gave a refilling in her usual happy
nay. After a song Mrs. Austin , assisted
by Mli-os Emerson , Green and Stanley ,
read passages from the bible showing
thu c fleets of drink on man , together
with others counseling total abstinence.

Those men are n worse than worthless
set any way , according to the allegations
of female petitioners for divorce decrees.
Mur.v C. Gross commenced suit yesterday
in the district court 'for a divorce from
her husband , Alberlus F. Gross , to whom
she was married in Indianapolis sixteen
years ago. She alleges that Albertus has
of late become addicted to the drinking
habit and has been guilty of gross cruelly
toward thu plaintilV , who therefore souks
a dcerco of divorce and the custody of
her four children.
Elizabeth A. Kulp has had even a se
verer fate. She was married only a short
year ago to Joseph Kulp , but has been
the victim of his abuse since the wedding
day. Only last month ho knocked her
over a trunk and then stamped UK ) > n her
prostrate form with his feet , greatly in
juring her. Upon this statement of the
condition of ailairs she asks a divorce
and a alimony in the sum of $50 per
month from Joseph's income , which is a
yooil one , derived from his wages and
from property valued at $0,000.

Captain Fitzgerald objected. He-
ceivcr Zabriskiu , however , opened nnd
read the bid under the direction
of Hich S. Hall , attorney for the com
pany. The latter claimed that , so far as
ho knew there was no objection to receiv

hour marked on the notice of sale as to
when the bids should bn opened. Their
object was to get as nmeh for tlio yrop-

concerned , if any later bids should be re
ceived , oven after last evening , ho would
bo in favor of them being considered and
referred to the court. Air. Xabriskiu
seemed to coincide with this view , nud
the bid was received and read.
The only bidder for tlio Sperry build

to run uiglit years , was J. II. Kvnns ,
whoso oiler was ! ? i,7oO. : ( This
was an increase of nearly § r , ( K)0 ) ovr the

the four mule wagons was approaching
the depot they became frightened at a
passing train and n lively mule dance fol
lowed. There wore sixteen heels Hying

frisky animals would make a play ground
of the depot roof. Thuy wore quieted
after a time tlio only damage being a dis

Mr. Fred B. Chantlcr , their representa
tive hero at present is fitting up ulegant
ollices in itlio two stores above named.
There appears to bo a good field in
Omaha for their line of business , and
with their facilities , record and financial
standing , they will no doubt soon bo able
to control to a largo extent thu specula
tive trading hero.
They have beun in business for over ten
years , and Iiavo practically controlled the
grain , provision , cotton , stock and oil
business ( for future delivery ) in those
st'Ues in which their plliccs are chiefly lo
cated. They are rapidly extending their
business through nil parts of the west.
They have a resident partner in Chicago
who looks alter their orders at. that end ,
and as tlio airgrcgato business of their
many ollices usually amounts up into the
many millions of bushels , their opera
tions on the Chicago market are , ot ne
cessity , very large at times. They have
tuoir business so perfect , however , that
their customers can , at their principal of-
lices , make or close trades instantly on
the markets , as they are received by their
special wires from the nmrKols at Chicago
cage and Now York.
A reference to the commercial agencies
as to their linancial and general standing
will in all rases confirm the reputation
they have always borne for high financial
standing and for conservative and honor
able business dealings.
In addition to the commercial agencies
they also desire to refer any onu inter
ested to. the various banks with whom
they have been doing business for years.
