When the ilgures of the IJotroIt-Chlcaso ball game were posted at the Turf Exchange last evening about twenty men , who had placed their money on the western champ- tons of ISSfi. went wild and yelled themselves hoarse. The unusually brilliant successes of the Detroit club had led to considerable betting upon the result of their lirst nipt'tlng with the Clilcagos. Money was freely otteri-d , 810 to 50 , on Detroit yesterday. Several men who accepted these bets realized quite hand- Borne returns , _ _ _ _ _ The New Illcyclo Track.

AIJUO Omaha 21 MORE fH < VN IrTJTINCT. It Looked Very Much ns If This Dog Understood and Itcnsonod. Christian Advocate : Mr. Harold Doll- ncr , a native of Denmark , and for many years consul general of Denmark in this city , nnd a portion of the time acting minister of that kingdom , and well known to business mim as the head of tiio firm of Dollner , Potter & Co. , of New York , for many years resided in Brooklyn in a mansion of the old style situated on Washington avenue in thu midst of what , for a city , are largo grounds. Ho al ways took a great interest in his Jlowcrs , trees and vegetables , and the heart of the city raised the very linest kinds of pump kins. Ho also kept two or three dogs one a house dog , another of thu spaniel variety , and the third a powerful mas tiff. The muatltt was always chained near the stable and not far from thu rear entrance to the premises. In a certain autumn the pumpkins which were produced in Sir. Dollnur's garden wcro of such extraordinary dize and beauty , that they excited the cupidity of a personwho stele two of the largest of them and took thorn to the horticultural exhibition , where ho entered thorn as his own , and actually took the premium for them. This so raised Mr. Dolluer'o in dignation that ho instructed his gardmier to take off tlio largest of those which re mained and deposit them in the cellar , lest they also should bo stolon. At thn same time ho told him to sot the mastiff loose , so that if anvbody else came in at night to steal the pumpkins the dog would attack him. Pursuant to this order the pardoner worked all the afternoon taking off the linest of the pumpkins , which he carried up onn by ono , piling them near the cellar door , until ho had finished , when ho convoyed thorn into the cellar. About suusot ho unchained the mastiff. This dog had watched the performance of the gardener , and during the night ho gnawed off the largest of the remaining pumkins and carried them ono by ono to the collar door , where ho piled them up and stood iniard over them until the uoxt morning , when , as the cook ; arose and opened the kitchen door , with an ex pression of great , delight the animal wagged his tail , looked up for approba tion , and wont away. The next night he gnawed off every thing from the si/.e of a ha/el nut upwanl and carried them to the cellar door as before. A few days afterward , when the person suspected of having stolen the pumpkins , who had al ways been friendly with him , entered , the mastiff sprang upon him with the utmost rage. Mr. Dollngorwas living when wo wrote the above , it was then sent to him with the request that ho would certify to its truth if he could , or alter it till ho could conscientiously attest it. A few weeks before his death was received our last communication from him : 250 WASHINGTON AVENUK , BHOOKI.VN , July 12. itm L certify that theaccouutglven by Dr. Buckley of my pumpkins and my dog is true In every particular. UAKOLD DOLLNKB. It is plain that the mastiff had never seen such a operation boforo. Ho there fore must have comprehended it by an effort of the mind , hold it through the entire night , worked upon it , contem plated it as a complete act , and surren dered the pumpkins to the family when they arose. Yet , of course , ho failed to comprehend the reason , or to distinguish the value of the ripe from the green pumpkins. Ho also obviously connected the man who had in his sight stolen the pumpkins , with the deed. At the time this was told the writer , there were six witnesses living the gar dener , two servants in thn house , nnd the owner of the establishment , his wife , and their son. MRS. DOULINGER'S CALLER. Another Shrewd Scheme of the Mean , Deceitful Book Aguut. Dakota Bell : Mrs. Dollinger , a Sioux Falls lady , who lives on Twelfth street , hoard a rap at the front door the other afternoon and responded to find a very distinguished-looking gentleman , ex tremely dignliied and handsome. Ah ! Mrs. Uolliuger , I believe , " ho said. "Yes , sir. " "My name is Harcourt. I live at Hu ron. Mrs. Scott of that place is your sister , is she not ? " "Yes , sir. " "Ah , yes , I am very well acquainted with her. She requested mo to call and do a little errand for her. " Oh , yes ; won't you stop in , Mr. Har- court ? " "Thank you , I believe I will.

I am pleased to say. By the way , Mrs. Dollingor , I have u little work hero which I would like to show , as I am sure you would bo interested in it.

It treats of Daniel in ten stages ; when he started to go into the den , when ho got a little further inwhen ho got clear in , when the lions cauio up to examine him , while they were making their purvey , while they retired to consult together , when they decided a post-mortem would bo necessary , when they announced the result to Daniel , when ho convinced them that he would not consent to an autopsy , when the lions got out and Daniel got out embellished with numerous cuts , plans , maps and beautiful steel engravings , comes at $1 a part or $1 * forentiro work , put your name down hero and pay as you loceivo each part , eleven parts now ready hero is a fountain pen , write , under Mr. Brown's name at the bottom of the page.

They Lcaro Omaha \Vltb Expressions of Great Plonanro at Their Treat ment CnMnr County'u Dissensions. The Pharmaceutical Allocation. The election of ofllcers then ensued and resulted as follows : president , M. E. Schultz , Beatrice ; first vice president , C. H. Hrtiner. Fremont ; second , W. H. Shcyrock , Louisville ; third , P. C. Couri- gun , O'Neill : fourth , W. D. Uallcr , Ulalr ; fifth , W. J. Hughes , Omaha ; secretary , C. J. Daubach , Lincoln ; local secretary , W. C. Lane. Lincoln ; treasurer , James Forsyth , Omaha. Each of these gentlemen , with the ex ception of Mr. Hughes of Omaha , re turned thanks for their election in a short speech. The committee on exhibits was not prepared to report and the same was de ferred , one of the members , Mr. Goshellc saying it would be ready in time for pub lication in thn record of the proceedings. Mr. II. T. Clark in the name of the committe on entertainment announced thai , in the afternoon the visitors would bo expected to take part in a ride to the Slock Yards and Fort Omaha. The committee on examination of the state board of pharmacy , reported through Secretary Daubach. It showed how the committee had met nnd what they had done. They had received 1,280 applications and examined twenty now applicants for membership , but had not passed upon the latter because of want of time. They had also decided to not respect a certificate from any other state , the idea being that such'applicants ought to undergo examination the same as any other applicant. N. A. ICuhn , of Omaha , was appointed Chairman of the delegation to the con vention of the .National Retail Dealers' association. The committee on delinquent members was not prepared to report , and ,011 mo tion of Mr , Daubach , it was decided that the committee should be empowered to make whatever arrangements might to them seem advisable with the secretary with regard to delinquents. Mr. Kuhn moved that graduates of col leges of pharmacy which required four years of practical experience before un dergoing examination , be admitted to practice without again undergoing ex amination in this state. This motion brought out n lengthy dis cussion , in which some opposed" and others favored the motion , while others still thought it. would bo a matter of doubtful advisability , especially because of the wording of th'o law , which did not seem to encourage it. The sentiment of tlio meeting was in favor of respecting collegiate diplomas , sucli as those mentioned , though the law opposed it , and the matter was dis posed of. It was decided to sustain the board of examiners in refusing to recognize cer tificates from other state pharmacy boards , without examination of the ap plicants. A vote of thanks was extended to the press , the wholesale and retail druggists , the exhibitors and all the hotels , for courtesies shown the delegates. Another vote was tendered Mr. NT A. Kuhn , D. W. Saxo for the manner in which they had done their work in connection with tlio convention. Thanks were also .ten dered to the National Drngcist.

Governor Thayer appeared before the association by invitation , and bcini : called upon made thu following happy speech : Mr. President , Ladies and Gentlemen : I thought that I caught the words from a gen tleman who went by me after Icatno la hare , that Governor Thayer was going to address you. 1 reeret It , because frankly admit to you that ! have nothing to say , nor any speech to make to an association of this klnit. 1 do not feel that I am able , I do not feel myself competent to address you eentlemen In reference to that branch of medicine which embraces your profession the profes sion of a pharmacist. But 1 will say that I am glad to respond to the call made upon me to express to you ray hearty concurrence with the high purpose for which vou ore now laboring. You are making efforts to elevate the standard of pharmacy , and you are entitled to the good will of the entire community. 1 icjolce with you for the noble work In which you aro'em barked. In the work In which you are now laboring , vou are under 'the operation and control of the law. I believe at least I am Informed by those who are supposed to bo comuetcnt to judge and to Inform me upon the subject- that you have secured a law , eiiual If not bet ter In Its benouLs than any of those that were passed previous to your law , In anv state In the union. And I was happy to bo able to servo you , and very clad to have an opportu nity as well as a most pleasant duty to per form , In witnessing my signature to that law I Loud applause. I These bodies otours are weak , frail things. They are often overtaken by disease. They become exhausted through sickness and many Ills. The lirst thought , therefore , Is for the aid and assistance of the medical ad visor. Ho prescribes and you prepare the medicine which ho offers. It i * absolutely essential that every physician should have a thorough education In his profession. It is absolutely Imperative that ho should never bo permitted to encage in it , until hn has been through a most thorough course ot study which embodies all the details of his profession. It Is evident that this Is liu- because he deals with human life , Kmant iiinan lives are entrusted to his euro. So U Is with the profession of t'.io ' pharma cist. Human lives are entrusted to your care , and handiwork. If you handle those drugs which are necessary , In a proper man ner and within proper limits for the restora tion of life , you must be educated as to the correct composition ot medicines , and n pro- liclent knowledge of this becomes vonr duty. This profession of yours Is Indeed an hon orable profession , and the efforts you are making is Increasing the honor. You are elevating the profession of the pharmacist. As a representative of the Klate 1 think I know the Interests of the people of Nebraska well enough to know that they will justify me In saying that every citizen of this state rejoices that you are taking steps forward In this direction. You have raised your busi ness up to A profession In which only educated men , and men educated especially for your profession , and Its duties , can cnuaee. I rejoice at It an J 1 say with all my heart. m y Clod speed you In your noble work. 1 trust there may be a college of pharmacy es tablished In this state because It would be for the benetlt of the whole community , It would help human kind at large. 1 am In favor of every enterprise which confers the most btneliclal Influence upon society ; of every thing inat tends to raise up and elevate mankind ; of any thing that will tiolo to make bctter'mcn and better women. The morn people aixJ educated In every pro fession , every condition of the human family Is bettered , and the'muiual bonelits accruing from any business am iicroased. 1 rejoice that I Lave the honor and the pleasure ot making JQU an address. I re joice that I have hau an opportunity of meetIng - Ing with you. I hkvuunjoyed your meeting exceedingly , nnd alno , tbo line exhibit you make In the hall.

Kuhn , of Omaha , ns a token of their appreciation of his efforts to fur nish them suitable space and conven iences , with an elegant easy chair richly upholstered. The presentation speech was made by L. . . . . .illy , of Indianapolis. Mr. Kuhn was entirely surprised and could but briolly express his thanks.

The local committee of the druggists of Omaha invited the visiting pharmacists ) at 3 o'clock to take a drive about the city , and at that hour sixty carriages wore filled with ladles and gentlemen who cnfoyod a ride for three hours. They visited South Omahn and many of the more picturesque points in the city. The sentiment of the visitors , who began to depart last evening , was that they had been most royally entertained in Omaha. The exhibitors began packing their goods , prepratory to going elsewhere , yesterday afternoon , bourn of the ex hibitors arc especially arranged for oc casions such as this. Noticeable among them was Scabury & Johnson , the man ufacturers of pharmacopua and surgical plasters who made an especially line dis play. Their exhibit is to be taken to Wichita , Kan.-.as , where the druggists of that state are soon to meet. Dr. Bicker , the representative , leaves to-day for an extended western tour. CALIFORNIA FltUIT UNION. A Proposition For a Combination and Ono ARCUC in Each Town. R. U. Blowers , representing the Cali fornia Fruit Growers' union , was in the city yesterday , having returned from the Chicago meeting of the tralllc managers. A very important 'deduction ' has been made on fruit rite.4 { from California to the Missouri river , which will bo of inter est to all dealers in frjiits. Last year the minimum freight rate was $280 per car or $1.40 per hundred , and § 510 or ? 2.53 nor hundred shipped by passenger trains. This season the rate will be $220 per car or $1.10 per hundred on freight , and $120 per car or $2.10 on passenger trains. Last year it was necossat y.to have at least fif teen cars in order to 'make up a special train : this season only ton are required. In order to avoid the overstocking of the market in tlio large cities and the con sequent lowering of ( lprices and loss to shippers , the Unioh proposes to ap point ono agent at ! , the different points who shall handle all'th fruits shipped by the Union. Omaha and Kansas City are the only points west of the Missouri river where agents will be appointed. There will bo no agent in Denver , which has always been made the dumping ground for the inferior fruits which would not stand shipment further oast. It is claimed that the Union will include in its mem bership all the prominent fruit shiuoers of California , and hence will bo able to control the market , as it may see fit. The agent will deduct 10 per cent from his sales of fruits , of which 2J per cent will go to the Union , and the balance will be the agents' rcmuncratidn. No agent as yet lias been appointed for Omaha. _ COMEDY AM ) TRAGEDY. How the Curtain Was RUHR Down At tlio Hoopla's Tlioatro. Gilfoil , Bush & Company played at the People's thcatro last week and started to give Omaha a second week of variety. The management , however , cut short the proceedings Monday , declaring the house closed until the Clair-Pateo company appears on Monday next. Before the combination separated thcro was a war like scene on the stage on which Messrs * Howard and Alton , two of the perform ers , were badly used up. A gun was broken in one of the acts , and Will Lau- don , the property man , would not allow the baggage of the performers to betaken taken away until the baggage was paid for. Then ensued a general row. It was a Donnybrook all around. Come dians were turned into tragedians , and a wor o looking sot of actors never came ft'a stage than did those members of the Gilfoil& Bush parly. A Soldier. Thomas O'Connor , the veteran citizen and ollico holder in this community , has received information that his brother Luke , a distinguished ollicer in the ser vice of England , has boon retired with tiie rank of major general.

Patrick and John N. H. Patrick to Nathan D. Allen nnd S. L. Underwood. Thu area sold covers 015 acres , and the considera tion is $015,000. Thu sum of $315,000 was paid down and the balance , $100,000 , secured - cured by a four year mortgage. Mr. Patrick reserves his house nmf sixty acres of land. It Is the intention of tlio purchasers to make the farm a splendid addition to the city , platting a large portion of it out and making llvo streets. A largo num ber of line brick residences and neat wooden cottages will bo at once erected , for sale anil rent. The motor cable road , which is pro jected , will run through thu addition , and rapid transit to the business part ot thu city will be furnished befora tlio end of the year. An effort was made last evening to find the gentlemen who are the purchasers of the property. Ono , at the Paxton , was out , and the other , although stopping at the Millard , was not registered , and had evidently given instructions to the man agement to not bo approached , as the clerk suavely told a reporter that he know nothing concerning such a gentleman being at the hotel. It was mibscqueutly learned that both gentlemen had gone to ono newspaper oUico and given to that publication the detailed information of their projects. BAT AM/WHERE. The Omnhai ) to Moot the Denvcrs In Throe Games Illcycllng , The Omahas will return from Hastings to-day with a failed and considerably mussed laurel wreath. They have experi enced three consecutive defeats at the hands of a club which has not heretofore boon considered their match. The rea son is not hard to find. The Omahas have but ono pitcher. That ono is O'Lenry. Ho wasn't with them , owing tote to his damaged hand and wrist. The statement that the Omaha's have but one pitcher is not made for the purpose of creating jealousy of him on the uart of the other men who have pitched this sea son , and it oucht not to. But it is the truth. A ball player who can throw a curv or a dozen curves , or can "shoot it" over the plate , is not necessarily a pitcher. To pitch requires brains as well as dexterity. The successful pitcher must discover and remember the weak ness of every batter in every opposing club. That is tlio true science of patching. The Delivers arrived in the city last evening and are at the Cozr.cns. They are a line looking lot of men and have the cut of ball players. They will moot the Omahas here in three consecutive games to-dav , to-morrow and Sunday. O'Loary will pitch to-day for the home team , his wrist and hand having become serviceable again. Iron Moulders' Statement. The publication in yesterday's BEE of the iron mouldors'walk-out from the foun dry of Usher & llussoll brought a committee - too from the men to this oflico last nvcn- ing. They give a different version of the causes of the strike than did Mr. Usher , who was authority for ycstorday's publi cation. They say that every two mould ers have a helper. It is the business of these helpers to carry water from the hy drant to the sand which is used in mould ing. As the demand for water is greater , occasionally , than the supply , there will bo tlireo or more helpers at the hydrant at once On Wednesday morning this was the .caso and the man nearest the hy drant was a white man named Wiljiam Norton. Next to him was the Italian , named Antoiue. The latter pushed Norton away from the hydrant. Norton in turn pushed the Italian away. A second time the Italian pushed Norton , whereupon Norton struck him. The Italian went into tin ; ollico of thn foundry and made complaint. Mr. Usher came out , and , without making inquiry as to the merits of the case , discharged Norton. It was than that the moulders took their part in the squabble. They sent a committee to the ollico with a demand that Norton bo reinstated and that the Italian bo removed from the foundry and placed in the yard. Mr. Usher refused to accede to thc.se demands , but dis charged the Italian. The moulders were not satisfied with this , and , as Norton was notroiustated , they struck. The latest information is that the strik ing moulders tire to bo paid off on Satur day night and that the foundry will lay still for thirty days. The moulders claim that they all ob jected to the "dagos" as they term thorn , being worked at all in the foundry as helpers , as they are not willing or com petent , llus man Antoine is claimed to bo n disagreeable follow in particular , and it is stilted that ho hud threatened two or three , times to cut men with a ' v ' knife. _ Master Painters' Card to the Public. OMAHA , May 13,1837.Vo , the under signed'master painters of Omaha , confi dent of the , justice of the .position we have taken in relation to the trouble now existing bolwcen us and the painters and paper hangers now on a strike , respect fully make the following statement of facts : 1. In regard to the painters , wo are willing to pay and have boon paying for good workmen all , and in some cases more , than they now demand , but this point with the question of nine hours and all thn points of difference between us and the paper hangers wo have offered to leave to an impartial board of arbitra tion. Wo claim that arbitration la the most sensible , rcasonabo | and cquitablo method of settling differences , and wo claim that in refusing to leave the matter to arbitration , as tne striking paint ers and paper hangers have done , they confess a doubt as to thu justice ot their demands and we request an intelli gent community to withhold from them moral support fn their present uncalled for and unjustifiable course. Thn sched ule of prices demanded by paper hungers would , if acceded to , necessitate an ad vance in the prices we have boon charg ing the last live years of 50 per cent on an average. Wo are satisfied with pres ent price-s , and at those prices wo have been paying paper hangnrs from ? : J to $4.50 per day. Thanking you for the in dulgence and consideration you have shown us in our present dilllculty , wo are Respectfully yourn. Henry Lohraann. Vf. F. Clark , T. J. Hoard & Bro. , Heard & Otis , H. J.

OUT OF OXE. The People of UuotoffHotlro Their County to l > o Qnnrtrrnd. J. W. Smith , of Callaway , Cuslor county , is in the city and has in his pos session the petition of a large number of thu residents of that extensive section of Nebraska , directed to the county com missioners , for the division of the county into four parts , which shall be known respectively as Custcr county , Marian county , Puruull county , and Gladstone county. This petition is the result of a convention which was held on Wednesday at Callaway. Twenty dele gates , live from each of the futir pro posed now counties , were present , besides - sides a large number of other citizen ? , The convention was harmonious. In addition to endorsing the petition above referred to , it adopted a resolution that , until the proposed division should be ef fected it wai the sense of the people of Custcr county that the county seal should be removed from Broken UotV to Sergeant , a new town in the northeast portion of the county and on the line of the B. & M. road which is btsing constructed up thu Middle Loup. The town silo of Sergeant was formerly owned by Colonel E. P. Savage , now of the Omana stock yards. Colonel Savage has recently sold a half Interest therein to the Lincoln Town Site company , which is a H. &M. corporation. The petition will be considered by the Custcr county commissioners , and if they regard it favorably an election will be held next fall. ' The people will then vote upon the propositions to divide nnd also to move tlio county seat. There appears to bo , as ono factor of tliis movement , a desire to hit Broken Bow n slap. The people of all towns in Custor county outside of Broken Bow , ac cording to Air. Smith , feel that they are not accorded fair treatment in county matters by that place and that Broken How is inclined to "hog it" upon every opportunity. To secure the success of the proposition to divine , the convention resolved itself into a grand central cam paign committee and will make it the most prominent issue. A Good Vonr for Canal Itoatmcn. Rochester Union : The canal men are getting ready for a great boom. The 3,1)00 ) boats in commission on state waters will bo increased to1,000 by the addition of 100 new ones built in Rochester , Whitehall , Oswego. Tonnwanda , Buffalo and other ports. The season will open Saturday next , and about 1-1,000 men and boys arc ready for a busy summer's busi ness. The inter-state commerce law is relied upon to help them , but business took a big upward jump last year and will continue to climb this. A new feature in canalling i.s the rapidly accumulating number of steamers. The steamer has been improved to such an extent as to greatly imperil the mule. When the locks are enlarged , as they will be under a half million-dollar appropriation voted not long ago , a steamer pushing one boat and pulling two , or transporting nearly 10.COO bushels of grain , can bo accommo dated , and this little flotilla can run right through from Buffalo to New York . \vithoutoutsidoald. avoiding the cum- 'brons tows and doing the work very cheaply.

Chicago Herald : A distinguished belle is a book ngon and she has in ton or twelve days made herself singularly famous down town. Her method is a marvel of skill , aided by natural advan tage. The latter consists of the ability to shed tears at will. 1 don't know how uho docs It , but she does , At precisely the time and place for tears to bo of value they drop from her eyes and trickle down nor chocks. Perhaps there is something the matter with Dor tear ducts , hut if there is , 1 doubt if she n quid care to bo cured. She has been fooling the brokers especially. She outers an olllcc quietly but ( Irmly , and , with no circum locution , tolls the boss that shu wishes him to buy a book. He says no. un hesitatingly and perhaps crossly , Then she turns on the tears. "What's the matterf" ho asks. "Oh , nothing of any consequence , " 5lie replies , making toward the door. But ho tiympatlictlcally begs her to voice her grluf , whereupon she tells that she has been unable to sell a book that day , that her poor old mother Is depen dent upon her , and that she is downright discouraged. Ho purchases one or two books instantly. BALL'S ' t CORSETS BONED WITH KABO. The ONLV COUSKT mndo Ihut cn tin retnrnod hj im tuirclmiur fitter THHKE WKf.li.
