Seventeen teams drawing railway utensils and sunplios passed through hero yesterday.

It was thought by the reading of the bids before - fore they wore tabulated nnd figured through that Heagan Bros , were the lowest , but this proves to bo n mistaken notion. The bids were close , there being four of thorn , the highest and lowest of whioh were not f 4,000 apart , the total amount of tlio work being between $35,000 and f 60.000. It now appears that W. P.

Q"Say , liii : : man , 1 want you to sign something liere , " said .Jim Bowman , wlio has charge of the inonoy order dcpnrt- nient at the postollice. "Hero's a money order which was paid jou , and it lias been sent b.iuk from Washington for cor rection. You see the ndvica called for the receipt to bo signed by the Omaha BII : : , and boiides signing that you signed your own n.unc , but they say that you must sign your official position as well. Just add th.it to the signature. " "Unole Sam is getting very particular , isn't heV" "Yes , they examine every little detail , and if there is as much as a scratch of the pen that docs not tally it is .sent back for correction. That money order was mild last October , jou sue , and it has been nil this time going through the mill and getting examined and approved.- ' "Do you have many such cases ? " "Yes every otlico hatches a lot of them. Now hero is another , just like yours. The man who got the order cashed is secretary of the company , and ho signed the company's name , and his own , but did not puton the word "secretary. " It is sent back to have that mil on ! Now think of it , that order has traveled over three thousand miles in all , has been through probably thirty men's hands , , iind has boon eight months going through the dillercnt departments , and the gov ernment gets less than a dime for all this work. Queer business , isn't it. A FATAlTlMlUMl. Andy Davy Jinn Doth Lees Taken OfT IJy the CnrH. Last night Andy Davy met with au ac cident nt tlio dummy depot which will probably result fatally. He was quite drunk anil was staggering about on the switch track between tlio two platforms , when the freight was switched in. Ho w s struck by the cars , and the wheel passed over him , cutting oft * both legs below the knees. Ho also received some cuts and bruises , mainly about the head. It is not thought that ho can recover , lie is about twenty-three years of nge. and has been a hack-driver horu for some time. Lately he has been at work in Omaha , and on the railway about eight miles out. His parents live hero , near the Hock Island depot. He was mairicd , but did not reside with his wife.

At the least disturbing noise , loud whisper ing , movine about tlioroom , squeaky boots , this quiet gentleman is noticed rapping loudly on the tabio and looking around as if ho would willingly line the disturbers for making more noise than ho does by the rapping. The end of tlio lablo is well dented with the daily use of his peculiar gavel. That gentleman is Jo Morse , of Lovoland. The gavel which ho uses as baihtr in preserving order is a plain looking pocketknifc. It is a knife with moro history than blades. It is sixty years old and was owned by his father before him. Tlio veteran knife is worth examination , its construction being so ditterent from tlio present man ner of make. The buck is enclosed so that the springs do not appear and when what is. left of the blades are opened there is no raising or lowering of the hack of the knife. It is a curiosity , not merely on account of its peculiar make imd its ago , but also because it has not long since wandered oil * into the pocket of someone else than the owner. It is wielded daily by Mr. Morse and rings out as hearty a rap as in its younger Jays , its voice not wcakeningiu the least. WIUon AVuntH In the district court the case of Wilson ITS. the City is being tried. The plaint ! ! ) ' claims heavy damages on account of the Indian creek cutting away a portion of Ids residence property during the great Hood yours ago. In drawing the jury there scorned to bo a strong desire on the part of the plain till" to bar out all persons oaying taxes , apparently on the theory that such persons would bo inclined to favor the other side , and that they would hesitate about rendering a judgment against the city , as they would hare to st.ind their share of tlie tax necessary to pay the samo. The plaintiff claims Unit the city by the manner of constructing its viaduct at Bryant street , and by other Improvements reduced the natural water way so that tlio witter could not liavo a free passage , aud thus his property was ilnnugea , Mr , Wilson and wife ure here in person. They have been living In Florida foi some time past. Mr. Wilson seems thir and not in t\s good health as when here The climate docs not seem to ail'cct hin as favorably as ho had hoped. Huslnoso. M. Duquette , of the well known whole sale fruit , confectionery and commission house , is about to embark in a manufac turing confectionery enterprise. This house was formerly known as Krb A : Duquette , and until recently as Wirt A Uuqucttn. Now that Mr. Wirt has re tired from the linn Mr. Duquette will rc < move from his old quarters , No. 10 and 18 Pearl street , to the Hloomcr building , No. 1)17 ) Bioadway , winch place is already being lilted up , and besides continuing in his pit-sent line ho will also manufac ture choice candies. It is understood that after the necessary arrangements are completed that the linn name will probably bo Duquette & Co. Summer M lit OonccrtH. The move for a series of concerts to bo Riven in Bayliss park orondses to be a success. Odcll Bros. & Co. wi'l ' tomorrow row evening give a complimentary con cert , to which the public is'invited , that enterprising linn bearing the expenses of the music. The Bavarian band has completad ar > rangomontM to give a scries of concerts in the MIIIIO park , tins opening ono to bo Thursday evening , May 1 ! ) .

A few sportsmen of Council Bluus held a meeting at the ollicoof the county clerk last night for the purpose of organi/ing a shooting club.

All persons who desire to be come members of the club are. invited to be present at that time at the clerk's of- linc. _ A Lively Hun. L. B. Evans' horse and buggy were hitched at the Noithwostorn depot yester day morning , when a train came along. The horse beuamc frightened and broke away before Mr. Evans could stop him. One of the wheels of the vehicle was broken oft" and the buggy separated from the horse. The animal wont tear ing up Broadway , and ran straight to Lund's stable on North Main street , where he is kept. Ho was found to have received a serious injury in. the left hind log , a tendon being cut partly oil' . There is a possibility ot its growing together again , however. _ The Ilambletonian stallion Arbitrator can be seen at my stable on Fourth or Bancroft street , three doors south of Hatten hauer's carriairo repository. He is a grandson of Bysdyke's Ilambletonian on the sire side , and a grandson of Mum- brine Chief on tlio dam side , the acknowl edged principal producers of speed and general purpose horses in America , anil Arbitrator is no exception to tliu rule. Ho js a horse of great indi vidual merit and speed , and for the purpose of convincing the breeders of high bred horses that he is all that is claimed for him , I will speed him a ten or twenty-mile dash on the road to 000 pounds' weight , with any stallion owned in the county. Breeders of high bred horses will make a note of this , and carry it in their hats , as the owner of these horses puts all the money he has and can borrow into straight horses , and not into books , pamphcts and wind , talk ing about their forty-second cousins' per formances. Also Colonel Uovc , bred by W. II. H. Colby , of Fort Dodgo. la. , sired by Star light , by Star of tlio West , dam by Coupon pen , jr. , by Coupon , by Kysdyko's Ham- blctonian , this colt is a stranger in a strange land , but his breeding is certainly all any niii n could wish for. His great and positive individuality , his true anil powerful stride , his wonderful constitu tional powers , and his powerful steel- converted framework , insure for him a career that will place him among the greatest if not the grandest stallions in the west , D.

Bvulding. i Treatment and Baths Given Ladies by Mrs. Dr Richards on Tuesday , Thursday & Saturday. Electricity is a remarkable naturalagcnt which has long been known and utilized as a remedy for disease and continued experience has unlaigcd its sphere of useful ness and improved its appliances by which it is employed until its utility a n. ! virtue has become second to no other known remedy , in the treatment of certain forms of disease. This agent is employed here in all its most ferviceablo forms by the aitl of large batteries , static machines , electric cabinet baths , clectiic water bath , the elec tric cliair and electrodes for treating all parts of the body. We are prepared to do all that can be done with these great remedies. In cases of Rheumatism , Neuralgia , 1'aralysis , Spinal Irritation , Rectal Diseases , Nenous Diseases in female ! ) arising from Uterine disorders and many other chronic and subacute troubles , it stands at the head of all known remedies or methods cure. A thorough study of it for years and the successful treatment of hundreds of cases , after all other remedies had fail ed , is sulllcient evidence ofits great worth and perfectly satisfies us with its good ell'ects on the diseased body. In the great hospitals and sanitaiians of America and Europe , electricity is leading all other methods of treatment. In all leading colleges the professors are teaching electricity as one of the potent remedies and a special chair is appointed in manv of them. Many of the ablest physicians of all schools are making a specialty ol'clcctricitv to tiie exclusion of almost everything else. This great remedy has often fallen into disrepute by being recommended and used by persons , and physicians , perfectly ignorant of its properties and powers , \\howoiiltlasoftenathiseand use the wrong current as the right one or depend upon it in diseases for which it is not adopted. We are sure that \\l\un the people become educated in the use of electricity for many diseases with \\hich the body Is afflicted and find the great good therein , the medicines and patent righted nos trums upon which they now rely will grow old and dusty on the shelves. Electricity is nature's great remedy and to fully understand and skilfully apply it is our cflbrt and aim in life.
