IFHOM me nun's LINCOLN nunp.AU.I
Lincoln's greatest harvest time is nearIng -
Ing a close. The hotels and boarding
houses which have been lillui' ' , to over
flowing the past four mouths , will soon
bo deserted. The high priced furnished
rooms will remain vacant for two long ,
weary .years. The saloon men's prolits
will diminish more than one-half , The
country theatricals which have mot the
plaudita of the interior statesmen will go
on the road to starve. The festive hack-
men will take time to properly feed and
groom their abused horses. The mer
chants' Bales Will suffer n great decline.
In fact , every business and moral inter
est of Lincoln will siiluir a great shock
by the adjournment of the legislature.
It is safe to say that four-fifths of the
| 5i,000 ) appropriated to defray
the expenses of the legislature
Is paid to business men in Lincoln. Some
say that a few dollars also Iiml their way
into tlio coders of questionable business
women , No wonder that Lincoln people
and newspapers have nothing to say of
the shortcomings of the legislature as a
body when it is the support and vitality
of the city. It has appropriated far more
money to Lincoln institutions than ever
before. Il has created new enterprises
and now interests and liberally endowed
them.
No.cityovor needed paved streets worse
than Lincoln docs. The streets nro uni
formly level and soft. After a rainfall
the water stands and soaks in. There
is no grading or sewers to carry it oil' .
The movement on foot to pave the city
comes none too soon. Like all such
movements it is fraught with schemes to
run in paving material in the interest of
certain parties without regard to public
economy. The city can well adord to
make haste slowly. The people should
take a hand and brace up their repre
sentatives in the council. It i.s an awful
good time to look out for jobs. A few
honest men can do nothing in the face of
a corrupt majority with money.
THESALINU LANDS.
A looker-on said to your correspondent
yesterday : "Tho Saline land syndicate
would rather have lost $ 'J5,000 than the
bill providing for s.ilo of the land recom
mitted. The syndicate is the sorest crowd
in the city to-day. They are cast down
ns if by an overwliclmingsorrow. There
is a good deal of talk to-day of annulling
the action of tlio conference committee
on adjournment , so that the legislature
may holdover two or thrco days without
V pay. The movement is traceable directly
to the land syndicate , who hope to revive
their bill.

OI'EICA HOUSE COMPLAINTS.
Several complaints have como to this
olico of tlio repeated action of
tile"opuiu liousu management
here in raising the estab
* $ lished price of admission upon occasions
of crowded houses. The regular price
of admission to the gallery is 25 cents ,

INVESTIGATING THE MALONE CASE.
Ollicor Malono's ollicial conduct was
investigated by a special committee of
the city council last evening. Ho was
suspended some weeks ago for alleged
misconduct , which action is said to bo
the culmination of a long and tedious
potty warfare of Jealousy and backbiting -
ing among members of tlio forcn. A de
tailed review of the matter would bo ex
ceedingly tiresome. The committee is
expsetou to report Ita findings uoxt Mon
day "evening , if reports may bo rolled on
there are oilier members of the force
whoso conduct needs moro thorough in
vestigation than Oflicor Malono. In the
bill of particulars a charge is made
that ho was guilty of disobedience of his
orders from Ofllcer Post , who was nt
that time acting chief. The date was
iven as March 14 , notwithstanding that
§ o had suspended Mr. Malone on the
12th. Post also swore that ho was ap
pointed temporary chief on March 7 , and
In his charges ho accuses Malone of dis
obedience of orders given him by Post
on the Oth. Malone says that Post had
issued no orders until the following Fri
day. Post testified that Malone hadnovcr
disobeyed his orders while Post was act
ing chief.
HORRIBLE DISCOVEKV.
About 8 o'clock this morning
a horrible discovery was made in a
back room on the south side of O street ,
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth , over
a grocery store. The room had remained
looked for thrco days , which gave rise to
the suspicion that something was wrong.
The authorities were notified and an im
mediate Investigation was made. An
I ollicer broke In tlio door , and u scene that
beggars description presented itself.
There was no furniture In the room , but
in ono corner on a pile of straw the form
of a dc d man , apparently forty years
old , partially covered b ' ? a quilt , lay
tretot.od out. Upon ono'foot only was
an old sock and shoo. Ho were u suit of
re'Jpoctablo-tookiuff clothes. Ills bloated
npucaranco and the sickening stench
which tilled the room , indicatedthat ho
had boon dead at least three days.
To add to his frightful appearance
the rats had eaten away his nose and part
of ono cheek. The body was soon re
moved to the coroner's oUioe , where at
tempts were made during the day to iden
tify the unfortunate man. Ono person
\J" thought his name was Uatcholdcr , hut
could not bo positive. Ho know nothing
whatever of the inan'a history or busi-
I nets. Ho had mot the dead man but
once. Another thought ho recognized
him as a former brake man on the B. &
M. railroad , but the records of the com
pany could not substantiate this theory.
The coroner Is hard at work trying to
learn tbo dead man's identity. There
seems to be no suspicion of foul play In
the case , although there is no evidence of
cause of death. The whole case is wrapped -
pod in mystery. An inquest will prob
ably bo hold this evening.
A burglar entered a boarding
house at Eighth and K streets
last night , through n collar
window. Ho carried off an overcoat ,
two fur caps and n few other things of
less value. He loft the house without
waking the occupants.
To-day it is stated upon the best of au
thority that Mr. John Fitxgorald has pos
itively refused to accept the democratic
nomination for mayor. His letter declin
ing the nomination on the citizens' ticket ,
and reasons therein given , would hayo
rendered his acceptance of the demo
cratic nomination decidedly in bad taste ,
and it was thought by his friends and
himself that the letter would have de
feated hint bid ho run.

JICARILLO BOB'TOOK THE POT.
The Two Men " \Vlio Held Flvo Aces
Itetwucit Them Wcro Hurled
Farmlngton ( N. M. ) Letter in the Now
York Sun : They had a poker game liurc
Saturday night in the back room of Jica-
nllo Hob , who was present to sec that
everything was fair. The men at the
table were Tom Sinanbaugli. a cattle
dualer , nnd I'ottor Abort , Omaha Throup
anil 1'at ) Williams , gamblers. Tlio game
had been going along for some time
without much excitement and with no
very largo winnings , when suddenly Pap
\ > lllianis , who had thrown clown two
cards , offered to go it blind for $30. The
others saw him , and a crowd that had as
sembled at the bar moved over to see how
tlio thing would uomooiit. All tlio others
drew tlireu cards each. Williams ran his
cards over carelessly , called for a drink ,
and with a cigar in one corner of hi.s
mouth said ho would but $50. AH the
others staid in , and on _ the show-down , no
0110 manifesting a disposition to raise it ,
it appeared that there were live aces out ,
Pap Williams having three and Poltcr
Abort two. This discovery came very
near resulting in war , but at the sugges
tion of JicariTlo Hob the pot was left up
and a new deal was had , ho taking the
oxtru nco and tearing it tip.
After the now deal Abort called for
four cards , Sinsabaugh for three , Throup
for three and Williams for two. There
was now more than $400 in the pot , and
as Abort offered to hot $50 , the others
felt that they would have to see him.
When it came around to Abort again ho
concluded to raise the terms a little , and
he put up $100. * This caused old man
Sinsabaugh to draw out , with the remark
that the water was getting too deep for a
man witli a little pair. The other two
saw the raise and called. Down came
the cards , and almost simultaneously
with their appearance was the crack of
a revolver , and Potter Abort fell out of
his chair , while Pap Williams , gun in
hand , reached over and swept in the pile
of money. Oa the table in Iront of
where Abort was lying were live cards ,
three of them aces , while m front of
Williams were two aces , one of them Do
ing a duplicate of ono in the hand of the
man under the table.
So much interest was excited by the
inspection of those two hands and the
sweeping in by Williams of the money
that no ono noticed Abort slowly rising
on the other side of the table. Jicarilln
Mob was the first to catch u glimpse of
him , but ho had time only to cry out to
Williams , when Abort's revolver was dis
charge , and Williams fell with a bullet
through the head. Kvpry man in the
room , except , the proprietor , then broke
for the door , but before all had gone out
Mob's voice was heard saying that the
dispute over the game had left no one to
claim the stakes , and ho as landlord
would therefore take possession. Dis
playing two big repeaters as he said this ,
ho was just in time to reply to a shot
from the weapon of Omaha Throup.
Neither man was hit , nnd for a minute
they stood facing each other. A by
stander hero stepped between the men ,
nnd the crowd , edging forward , soon sep
arated thorn. Then a council of war was
hold , and it was agreed that the money
not claimed should go to the house , thn
two survivors of the game receiving
their stakes buck.
The next morning Abort and Williams
were buried just out of'town , and at the
head of their graves two boards were
placed , that at Abort's grave having the
inscription , "Thrco Aces , " and that al
Williams' grave having "Two Aces. "
The coroner's jury returned a verdict that
both men came to their death from
natural causes , "superinduced by over
eating. " a good way , as ono citizen said ,
of covering up the fact that they were
hogs. It has not yet boon decided which
one had the extra ace , but from the fact
that in Abert's pocket another ace was
found and in Williams' belt there wcro
two more , it is inferred that both were in
the business.
It U l-'uct
well established that consumption if at
tended to in its first stages can bo cured.
There is , however , no true and rational
way to euro this disease , which is really
scrofulous ulcorution of the lungs , except
through purityiug the blood. Keep the
liver in perfect order and pure blood will
bo the result. Dr. Piereo's "Golden Med
ical Discovery" a purely vegetable com-
dound does all this and more ; while il
purities the blood it also builds up the
system , strengthening It against future

but , ( o our thinking , tlio ppoctaclo of n
man in n lion's dun is nuvcr n very edify
ing ono. In the first place , however
highly trained the nnimnls may bo , their
performance falls very fur short of that
of performing dogs or "liberty" horses
in n circuis.V \ hen the lions have jumped
backwards and lorwards over barriers ,
and possibly their part of the business \
is finished , though , in justice to Mr.
Sooth , it must bo mentioned that he has
added n now feat by teaching ono
of h'u troupe to lire a pistol. But
as a rule the feats of the wild animal
are few and simple , tins real attraction of
the cntcrtaitinient being to s o a man ex
hibit his mastery over animals whoso
nature it is to resent interference ;
in other words , people go to sco tlio
tamer place himself in jeopardy. Of all
exhibitions involving danger to the per
former , the strongest admirers arc gen
erally these who would not for untold
wealth venture the same thintr or any
thing approaching thereto. The "high
diyo" into tlio not below was regarded
with equanimity by crowds of persons
who would shrink from taking n header
oil'a four-foot board into u swimming
bath ; people who find delight in watching
trapc/p performers going through their
evolutions at a dangerous height could
not , probably , perform the simplest
gymnastic o.xerciso on the ground , while
many of these who look on unconcernedly
at tlio doings of the lion-tamor would retreat -
treat incontinently into the nearest door
way if they saw an unmuzzled dog run-
towards them. It is , however , a curious
fact that , dangerous as lion-taming is ,
comparatively few lion-tamers have boon
killed in the exercise of their calling. If
the sight of a man risking lifo and limb
in. u cage of wild animals can be toler
ated , no one will ventttro to assort that
the lion's den is the fit place tor a
woman , yet at the present time there is
a "lion queen" who goes into the
animals with her husband. She , liow-
pvcr , is not the lirst of her race , though
it is much to bo wished that she may be
the last.

Such a remedy is Allcock's Porous Plas
ters. These plasters are purely vegetable
nnd absolutely harmless. They require
no change of diet and urn not affected by
wet or cold. Their action does not in

toil and yet bo cured while hard at work.
They are so pure that the youngest , the
oldest , the most delicate person of either
sex can use them with great benefit.
