B THE OMAHA. DAILY BEE : TUESDAY. MAEOH 29. 1887. I IDE SPRING POLITICAL BOOM Lincoln's Crop of Candidates an Unufiually Lugo Ono. THREE NAMES FOR MAYOR. Ihc Saloon Men Make Up n Purse to lie Used Tor Klcctton Pur- I > os. > 8 Happening * ! In the Capital City. IntOM THE nsr.'s uscoi.rr nvnr.Au.1 City politics Is beginning to boom , and the crop of spring cuntlldatcs is un usually large. The temperance people Saturday nominated Colonel A. J. Cropsoy for mayor. Thu colonel is an old-timer and lipiircd conspicuously in the memorable Hitchcock senatorial campaign. Ho was also idctuilied with the trouble of ex-Governor Duller , the particulars of which are now ancient history. Latterly ho went to Colorado , whcro ho engaged in the mining business. It is said that his friends here pecuniarily Interested themselves in his behalf and brought him back to his heart's first love , where ho was supposed to politically rule with an iron hand. At this Mage of the game tlicro are but two candidates In the Held besides Cropsey for the mayoralty , E. P. Roggcn , ct-sccrotary of state , and A , C. 13rock , Drcscnt alderman , who are mentioned as possible candidates in the republican field , with a strong sentiment In favor of Mr. Iloggon'a election. Mr. John Fitz gerald's declination of the nomination is ncccptcd in good faith , and hois consid ered out of the field. Charley Griffith is laying pins for the county trcasnrcrshlp. The Germans ( it the last election succeeded in putting Mr. Jlocho in the office , who bolted the repub lican ticket last fall. This proceeding has induced Mr. Gri tilth to believe that - lie can break the second term rule and get the office. Yesterday the saloon men of Lincoln raised a purse of several hundred dollars , to bo used in the spring election which occurs hero in about two weeks. They propose to fight on a good financial basis nnd elect a liberal mayor and a high li cense council if it takes every drop of the cratucr in the shop. They are , however , one and all opposed to increasing the li cense to f 2.000. This increase seems to tncot with the B. & M. railroad officials' approval , and will , it is understood , niovo them to active participation in the contest. Party lines will undoubtedly bo Very slackly drawn nnd a sort of go-as- you-please race will take place , and everybody votes as he pleases , with the exception of a certain few , over whom the whip will bo used to compel them to fall prostrate before the juggernaut of "bossism. " 1. W. Lansing Is out as a candidate for ftldcrmanio honors in the Fourth ward. ABOUT THE CITY. Rumor has it that the rapid transit company is abont to secure a franchise in this city for the purpose of gelling out that right to a Boston syndicate , which proposes to operate an electric street car line in this city , talcing in the suburbs. Anson Williams' family bare recovered from the scarlet fever. Ho has been un fortunate enough to lese two bright little children with that most terrible of all dis eases. His many friends feel deeply with lum la his exceedingly sad bereavement. A branch of the celebrated Uawson will case will bo tried in the district court in a few days. This suit involves hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property in Lincoln. Able counsel will appear on both sides. Hon. T. M. Marquett for the plaintiff and James M. Woolworth for the defendant. The upward tendency In Lincoln real estate values still continues. Mr. C. C. JJunVrVho purchased a few weeks since a lot 60x142 at the corner of Twelfth nnd O streets for 135,000 , tins jnst been ten dered and refused f 00,000 for the prop erly. erly.Thus far no public report of the fore man of the poor farm has been published. The taxpayers are waiting patiently for It. The red ribbon hosts had a large mass xncetmfc at the Metropolitan skating rink yesterday ana requested a pledge from all present to vote against every candi date who favored license of the liquor phops in any way whatever. Judge Mason addressed the meeting and mads the statement that what was needed most was more honest working nnd hon est voting and less praying. Ho hnld that the physiological part of a man Bhould bo more thoroughly understood , and less of the spiritual ; and with proper education in that direction saloons would become a relic of the past. The surveyors of the much-talked-of belt rallwivy have not put in an appear ance thus far. it ia claimed by a good many in rail road circles that the Hock Island will reach Lincoln from the toutheast shortly. The district court convened again this morning. The jury having been flis- chargoa Saturday nothing but equity cases are being considered. \ . ' Four plain drunks nnd two rags were arraigned in tha police tribunal this morning , nnd in dcfanlt of tinea and costs were committed. Bricks are very scarce and high priced in Lincoln at present ; hard bricks selling at $10 per 1,000. and in great demand. Clone foundations are being put in in many CMOS , because they are cheaper than brick. There is a great opening hero for brick yards. The Knights of Pythias of this city have chartered a car to attend the big Knights of Pythis meeting at Omahu this week. Tb World's Dost Kdlblq Fish. Beadle's Correspondence Rockville Tribune : The prince of all. however , tor good eating is the white-fish of the north. The capture has been prosecuted so in dustriously that they are now rarn in tbo south part of thn lake and the trade is not profitable anywhere south of Bullhead the narrow passage between Iho sections of lake \V innopcg. From there north ward and nwiy up the Saskatchewan , as Well as in tdl the lakes and streams of the Athabasca basin , they are found in lavish abundance and form the pinclpal food of turn tullss ! ; itepe-f9r ! Cl3a ? months together. One can easily learn to do without bread if he has plenty of whitefish - fish in winter. I cannot liken tha taste to anything in Indiana. Take the finest bass in the spring , ndd a delicate flavor of celery and fried chicken , with just a hint of halibut , and you will hnvo some thing lik it. The bones extend in regu lar rows each way from the backbone , and the firm , nourishing meat cornea oit In great flakes without a single bone to trouble Joy. They say that the flavor prows less on transportatlonjeven at Chicago - cage tuev are not so good. I shall lon < * regret my distance from the whito-fish of Manitoba. Chinese Barbarity. San Francisco Chronicle : The Pokin cpurti lately sflntenrod a young man to the lingering death of a thousand slices Who had murdered his brother by blood , but hit cousin by adoption , for unnatural craeltv. The brother had usurped his place in the house of his adopted mother and finally , when the victim was driven put , ha sold his wife and chil d and gave t i his adopted mother f 26 out of the | 2 which he realized from this sale. To ChinMo eyes this was a praiseworthy transaction. The wicked brother seised u pou this aioney given to the old mother ana when tha other returned after a few . .4 i days and learned of this crowning In jury lie promptly killed his brother and ana his brother's wlfo and child. The court , in passing sentence , was chiefly perplnxed ns to whether ho murdered his brother or his cousin. The judge showed no leniency toward him , nnd the moral to bo drawn from the case l.s that thn way of the poor in China is hard , if ho had money ho could have secured re lief ; without it , he was driven to tnko justice into his own hands , which re sulted In his shameful death. THE COLORS BADLY MIXED. A ninck-ftnd-AVhlte Bribe-A Btarttlnc Arkan an Monstrosity * St. Louis Globe-Democrat : There is on exhibition InNorth St. Louis the greatest living curiosity of the nineteenth century. It is a child five months old the daughter of full-blooded Ethiopians , bul so peculiarly marked ns to oxclto the wonder of ( all who vUlttho place. The feet and ankles of the little girt are of a dark copper color ; Ihe remainder of Ihe lower limbs are as while as Iho skin of any child born of white parents. Around the upper purl of Iho abdomen is a peculiar ly shaped while belt , while the rest of the body , as well ns the face , Is of the same color as the feet. In the cen ter of the forehead and extending n little way on the ecalp isiv white mark resemb ling an inverted "L. " At UK upper end of the "L" is a portion of the head cov ered with hair very much in texture and color like very fine wool. The rest of the head has for its covering Iho ordinary black wool of the neuro. The child is perfectly formed , healthy and actlvc.and in Its general features shows the African blood which courses through its veins. It vrris born the Oth day of October last nl Alma , Ark. , and is Iho youngest of three children born to Isaac nnd Mary Hollo- well. The parents are each about thirty years of age , black and ignorant. They nave for the lasi two months traveled from place to place exhibiting their little ono. to the gaze of tbo curious , and receiving in return whatever the visitors desire to give. Hollowell , when asked what sig nificance was attached to the peculiar marks on the child , Indlcat6d by his re ply that ho thought they indicated that the little ono bore the imprints of the Almighty's Jhand , nnd wus destined to have a wonderful career. Ho explained them as follows : "Well , do brown , stockin's is do brass on do Lawd's tcet ; do white legs is do marble pillahs ; do bolt means do girdin' up do lions ; an' do white liar is do white wool on do Lawd's head. " Some time before Iho child was born , Mr. Hollowell said , the parents happened to refer ono day to the subject of peculiar children and wondered what they should do should ono be born to them such as they had hoard about. The mother after ward dreamed that she had given birth to a child of uncommon appearance , and which grew up and was transported to heaven nnd enrolled among the angelic hosts. Tha dream mndo a strong impres sion on her , and she is strong in the belief that n brief sojourn on earth will bo ac corded the little ono she has now with her. Evidently they are bound to muke the most of it while it remains with them. Countless visitors go to see the curiosity , and both the parents are carctul to re mind them to "leave a dime for the mother. " The negroes who visit it are greatly impressed with tha appearance of the child , nnd seem hardly to know whether to pity or envy the parents. MATRIMONIAL POKER. A Shrewd Gambler "Wins a AVlfo Throng ! ) the On mo. Philadelphia Record : Sylvosler Shivoly , who died of apoplexy at Scranton , in this state , on Saturday , was born inVilkes - barre fifty years ago nnd was n college- bred man. It is thought by old gamblers in New York that he has lett nearly 1500,000. Ho won his wife by n game of poker on the Mississippi in the summer of 18GO. It was on the River Queen and the game had been going on for some time , and the stakes had run into the thousands , for there was no limit in these days. Ono of the players , after drop ping his last dollar , drew his chair back from the tnblo , and going to the side of the boat whipped ont his derringer and put it to his head. But ho was not quick enough , for Shively had him in his grasp before ha could fire and ho led the man into tbo cabin. There the stranger in troduced Shively to his daughter , a beautiful girl of twenty. They say It was love at first sight. Shively restored the man's fortnne he had won , married the daughter nnd promised to give up gambling forever. He settled down in Scranton and was living like a gentleman when be was called to Harnsburg on business during a session of the legislature. Ho sat into game and won 126,000. Shivoly was a member of the famous "Bucktail , " n Pennsylvania regiment that enlisted in 1801. A. Battle Between two Hats. Quitman , Ga. , Free Press : A privileged character about the court house is a very large white rat. His rats hip is very quiet and peaceable , except when ho catches sight of another rat of the ordinary species. This happened the other day. An enormous brown fellow , with a tail about a foot long , was. caught and turned loose in the same room with the white one. They eyed each other for a minute and then the white rnt made for the in truder. The fight was brief and bloody. For a few seconds there was an indis criminate mingling of white rnt and brown rat ; first one on top and then the other , but thq white ono soon fastened his long. sharp'teethMn the chest of the other and held on wjth a death grip until the otter rolled over dead.

That Tired Peeling Afllicts nearly every ono in Iho spring. The system liaving become accustomed to the bracing air of winter , is weakened by the warm days of the changing sen son , and rapidly yields to attacks of dis- euSO.

It Is Fact well established that consumption if at tended to in its first stages can be cured. There is , however , no true and rational way to cure thia disease , which is really scrofulous ulcerntion of the lungs , except through puritying the blood. Keep the liver in perfect order and pure blood will be the result. Dr. Plerce's "Golden Med ical Discovery" a purely vegetable com- dound does all this and more ; while it purifies tbo blood it also builds up the system , strengthening it against future attacks of disease. Ask for Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discoyery. " Take no other. Of druggists. Gilbert Patty , of College Corner , Ind , loved Delia , the lovely daughter of Far mer W. VV.
