When the Ugurcs ot the Detroit-Chicago ball game were posted at the Turf Exchange last evening about twenty men , who had placed their money on the western champIons - Ions of ISSfi. went wild and yelled themselves hoarse. The unusually brilliant surceases of the Detroit club had led to considerable betting upon the result of their tirst ineotlnir with the Chlcagos. Money was freely otlort'd , 10 to SO , on Detroit yesterday. Several men who accepted these bets realized quite hand- pome returns. _ _ _ _ _ _ The New Ulcycln Track.

Omaha 21 MORE THAN INJJTINCT. It Looked Very Much tin If This Don Understood and Honsoncd. Christian Advocate : Mr. Harold Uoll- ncr , a native of Denmark , and for many years consul general of Denmark in this city , and a portion of the time acting minister of that kingdom , and wen known to business mutt as the head of the firm of Dollncr , Potter & Co. , of New York , for many years resided in Brooklyn in a mansion of the old style situated on Washington avenue in the midst of what , for a city , are largo grounds. Ho al ways took a great interest in his flowers , trees and vegetables , and the heart of the city raised the very finest kinds of pump kins. Ho also kept two or three dogs- one a house dog , another ot thu spaniel variety , and the third a powerful mas- till' . The mastitt was always chained near the stable and not far from the rear entrance to the premises. In a certain autumn the pumpkins which were produced in lir. Dollncr's garden were of such extraordinary size and beauty , that they excited the cupidity of a personwho stole two of the larg'est of them and took thorn to the horticultural exhibition , where he entered them as his own , and actually took the premium for them. This so raised Mr. Dolluer's in dignation that he instructed Ins gardener to take on" the largest of these which re mained and deposit them in the collar , lost they also should bo stolen. At the same time ho told him to set the mastiff loose , so that if anybody clso came in at night to steal the pumpkins the dog would attack him. Pursuant to this order the pardoner worked all the afternoon taking oil'tho finest of the pumpkins , which ho carried up onn by one , piling them near the cellar door , until ho had finished , when ho conveyed them into the cellar. About sunset 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 earned them one by ono to the collar door , whore ho piled them up and stood tniard over thorn until the next 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 everything from the si/.e of a ha/ol nut upward 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 boon friendly with him , entered , the mastiff sprang upon him with the utmost rage. Mr. Dolingorwas living when we wrote the above , it was then sent to him with the request that ho would certify to its truth if ho could , or alter it till he could conscientiously attest it. A few weeks before his death was received our last communication from him : 250 WASHINGTON AVENUK , BnooKtYN , July 12. lbi. i certify that the account Riven by Dr. Buckley of my pumpkins and my dog is true In every particular. HA HOLD DOLLNKK. It is plain that the mastiff had never seen such a operation before. 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 , nnd 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 , and the owner of the establishment , his wife , and their son. MRS. DOULINGER'S CALLER. Another Shrewd Scheme of the Mean , Deceitful Book Agoiit. Dakota Bell : Mrs. Dollinger , a Sioux Falls lady , who lives on Twelfth street , heard a rap at the front door the other afternoon and responded to lind a very distinguished-looking gentleman , ex tremely dignified and handsome. Ah ! Mrs. Dolliuger , 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 bo.liovo I will. Very fine weather we're having.1 " sir Take the chair. " "Yes , , easy . "Thank you ; pray don't ' put yourself to any trouble on mv account. " "Certainly not. Was my sister well ? " "Quito well. I am pleased to say. By the way , Mrs. Dollingor , I have a little work hero which I would hko to show , as I am sure you would bo interested in it. It Is called 'Daniel in the Lion's Den , ' and is by the Hov. Thomas 11. Doutor- onomy. and it comes in twelve parts , ex quisitely bound in cloth , leather or extra Russia , is finely illustrated , and should be in every library , and I am taking hun dreds of orders , as you can see uy ex amining this order book , and everybody is wild over it , and all pronounce it the most wonderful book written since the Holy Scriptures. It treats of Daniel in ten stages ; when ho started to go into the don , when ho got a little further inwhon 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 ho 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' ? for entire work , put your name down here and pay as you rocclvo each part , cloven parts now ready here is a fountain pen , write under Mr. Brown's name at the bottom of the page. " "Mr. Harcourt , " said Mrs. Dollingor , rising and suppressing her tears , "you're a mean , deceitful book agent. Get out of my house 1" " 1 know , but just sign " "Go on , or I shall scream. " "Certainly , certainly , if you Insist ; no offonco. But can you tell mo thn name of the lady next door , and whoro.somo of her family live ? Ah , you won't oh ? I'll work another scheme , than. Good day , Mrs. Bollingor , good day ; glad to have rnade.your acquaintance. " THE DRUGGISTS' ' LAST DAY , They Are Addressed By Gov , Thayer nnd Elect Officers. HANDSOMELY ENTERTAINED. They Leave Omaha With Expressions of Great Pleasure at Their Treat ment CnMor County'n Dissensions. The Pharmaceutical Allocation. The election of olllcnrs then ensued and resulted as follows : president , M. E. Schultz , Beatrice ; first vine president , C. II. Bruncr. Fremont ; second , W. B. Shcyrock , Louisville ; third , P. C. Couri- gan , O'Neill : fourth , \V. D. Hallcr , Blair ; llfth , W. J. Hughes , Omaha ; secretary , C. J. Daubach , Lincoln ; local secretary , \V. C. Lane. Lincoln ; treasurer , James Forsyth , Omaha. Kach 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 ho ready in time for pub lication in the record of the proceedings. Mr. II. T. Clark in the name of the coinmitto on entertainment announced tlisil. in the afternoon the visitors would be expected to take part in a ride to the block 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 and 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 timo. 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 > on mo tion of Mr , Daubach , it was decided that the committee should bo 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 Bccm to encourage it. The sentiment of the meeting was in favor of respecting collegiate diplomas , such 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 cor- titicates from othe'r 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. N7 A. Kuhn , D. W. Saxo for the manner in which they had done their work in connection with the convention. Thanks wore also .ten dered to the National Drugcist. In the afternoon the following stand ing committees were appointed : On Pharmacv Charles Frahm , of Hastings ; A. L. Koss , of Sherwood ; C. L. Cottmg. of lied Cloud.

OOVKItSOU TIIAYKIl'S ADDUKSS. Governor Thaycr appeared before the association by invitation , and bcinc called upon made the following happy speech : Mr. President , Ladles and Gentlemen : I thought that I caught the words from a gen tleman who went by me after Icalne in hare , that Governor Thayer was going to address vou. 1 regret It , because I frankly admit to you that 1 have nothing to say , nor any speech to make to an association of this kind. 1 do not feel that I am able , I do not feel myself competent to address you gentlemen 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 mo to express to you my 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 .rejoice with you for the noble work in which you aro'em barked. In the work In which you are now laboring , YOU are under 'the operation nnd control oC the law. I believe at least 1 am Informed by those who are supposed to bo competent to judge and to inform me upon the subject that you have secured a law , equal If not bet ter In its benefits than any of those that wore passed previous to your law , In anv state in the union. And I was happy to bo able to servo you , and very glad to have an opportu nity as well as a most pleasant duty to per form , In witnessing my signature to that law ( .Loud applause. I These bodies ot ours are weak , frail things. They are often overtaken by disease. They become exhausted through sickness and many ills. The tirst thought , therefore , Is for the aid and assistance of the medical ad visor. Ho prescribes and you prepare the medicine which ho offers. It 11 absolutely essential that every physician should have a thorough education In his profession. It is absolutely Imperative that ho should never bo permitted to engage In It , until tin has been through a most thoroujh course ot study which embodies all the details of his profession. It Is evident that tills is Im- iKtrtant because he deals with human life. Human lives are entrusted to his care. So It 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 of medicines , and a pro- liclent knowledge * of this becomes vour duty. This profession of yours is indeed an hon orable profession , and the efforts you are making Is IncreasiiiK the honor. You are elevating ( ho profession of thn pharmacist. As a representative of the state l think I know the Interests of the people ot 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 encage. I rejoice at It and 1 say with all my heart may God speed you In your noble work. 1 trust there may be a college of pharmacy es tablished In this state because It would bo for the beneilt 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 tbat tends to raise up and elevate mankind : of any thing that wilt holn to make better men and better women. The more people art * educated In every pro fession , every condition of the human family Is bettered , and the'inutuat benefits accruing from any business amjncreased. 1 rejoice that 1 UAV < J the honor and the pleasure ot making jqtl an address. I re joice that I have haaan opportunity of meet ing with you. 1 havuynjoyed your meeting exceedingly , and also , tlio tlno exhibit you make In the hall. Jt Is an exhibit which re dounds most highly to your cTedlt. It was a pleasure to mo to meet the rer < r < ! 9tmtatlves of so many of your profession from a distance. They who have cor.it ) here to unite with you In this pleasant a nil grand display. Ladles nnd gentlqinun 1 thank you kindly for your attention and for listening to me. [ Long and continued applause. ] The exhibitors of the different manu facturers who have shown the goods in the exposition hall then presented Mr. N. A. Kuhn , of Omaha , as a token of their appreciation of Ins efforts to fur nish them suitable space and conven iences , with an elegant easy chair richly upholstered. The presentation speech was made by Mr. Lilly , of Indianapolis. Mr. Kuhn was entirely surprised and could but brietly express his thanks. President Reed , the retiring presiding olllccr of the association , was then pre sented with the chair in which ho had sat during the session of the association , it being a very handsotuo and comfurta- bio piece of oflico furuituro. C. J. Dau bach made the presentation speech. Mr. Reed was also at a loss on account of the unexpected character of the honor , but made a graceful and brief acknowledge ment. The association then adjourned sine die. die.Tho The next mooting will bo held in Lin coln on the second Tuesday in May , 1838. A HIDE A11OUT THE CITV. The local committee of the druggjsts of Omaha invllod 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 cnfoyed a ride for three hours. They visited South Oinahn and many of the more picturesque points m 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. Some , of the ex hibitors are especially arranged for oc casions such as this. Noticeable among them was Scabury & Johnson , the man ufacturers of pharmacopoa and surgical plasters who made an especially line dis play. Their exhibit is to bo taken to Wichita , Kan.sns , where the druggists of that state are soon to meet. Dr. Bicker , the representative , leaves to-day for an extended western tour. FRUIT UNION. A Proposition For n Combination and Ono Agent In Kncli Town. II. B. Blowers , representing the Cali fornia Fruit Growers' union , was m the city yesterday , having returned from the Chicago meeting of the traffic managers. A very important i Deduction lias boon made on fruit rates , { 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 $ .110 or $2.55 per 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 necossar 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 the largo cities and the con sequent lowering of < prices and loss to shippers , the Unioh proposes to ap point ono agent at. the different points who shall handle all'tho fruits shmpad 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 boon 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 shiuncrs of California , and hence will bo able to control the market , as it may see lit. The agent will deduct 10 per cent from his sales of fruits , of which 2 } per cent will go to the Union , and the balance will bo the agents' romunoratidn. No agent as yet has boon appointed for Omaha. _ COMEDY AN ? ) TRAGEDY. flow the Curtain Was Rang Down At the People's Theatre. Gilfoil , Bush & Company played at the People's theatre 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 there 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 01 the acts , and Will Lan- 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 IT a stage than did these members of the Gilfoil& Bush party. A Soldier. Thomas O'Connor , the veteran citizen and ollico holder in this community , has rccoivou information that his brother Luke , a distinguished officer in the ser vice of England , has boon retired with the rank of major general. Luke O'Con nor was offered the governor generalship of Canada at ono time , but refused it , pre ferring to DO on active service. In speak ing of him the London Times says : "It is announced that the next Bath Gazette will include that gallant sol dier , Luke O'Connor , who when sergeant at Alma , was ono of the first recipients of the Victoria cross. ' Ijo lias rdcontly retired from the sorvicaiwith the rank of major general.

It is the intention of the purchasers to make the farm a splendid addition to tlie city , platting a large portion of it out and making live streets. A largo num ber of line brick residences and neat wooden cottages will bo at once erected , for sale and rent. The motor cable road , which is pro jected , will run through the addition , mid rapid transit to the business part ot the city will be furnished before the end of the year. An cilbrt was made last evening to find the gentlemen who are the purchasers of the property. One , at the Paxton , was out , and the other , although stopping at the Mlllard , was not registered , and liad evidently given Instructions to the man agement to not bo approached , as the clerk suavely told a reporter that lie know nothing concerning such u gentleman being at the hotel. It was ( subsequently learned that both gentlemen had gone to one newspaper ollico and given to that publication the detailed information of their projects. BAT AM ) WHISKI/ . The Omaha * to Moot the Delivers In Throe Games Ulcycllne , The Omahas will return from Hastings to-day with a faded and considerably mussed laurel wreath. They have experi enced three consecutive defeats at the hands of a club which has not heretofore been considered their match. The rea son is not hard to find. The Omahas liavo but ono pitcher. That one is O'Leary. 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 Dart of the other men who have pitched this sea son , and it oucht not to. lint it is the truth. A ball player who can throw a curve or a do/en 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 the true science of pitching. The Delivers arrived in the city last evening and are at the Cozzcns. They are a fine looking lot of men and have the cut of ball players. They will meet the Omahas hero in three consecutive games to-dav , to-morrow and Sunday. O'Learj' will pitch to-day for the homo 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 & Russell brought a commit tee from the men to this oflico last even ing. They give a different version of the causes of the strike than did Mr. Usher , who waa authority for yesterday'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 three or more helpers at the hydrant at once On Wednesday morning this was the .case and the man nearest the hy drant was n white man named William Norton. Next to him was the Italian , named Antoine. The latter pushed Norton away from the hydrant. Norton in turn pushed the Italian away. A second time the Italian pushed Norton , whereupon Norton si ruck him. The Italian went into this ollico of the foundry and made complaint. Mr. Usher came out , and , without making inquiry as to the merits of the case , discharged Norton. It was then that the moulders took their part in the squabble. They scut 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 those demands , but dis charged the Italian , The moulders wore not satisfied with this , and , as Norton was not reinstated , they struck. The latest information is that the strik ing moulders tire to bo paid oft'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 them , being worked at all in the foundry as helpers , as they are not willing or com petent , llns man Antoine is claimed to bo a disagreeable follow in particular , and it is stated that ho had threatened two or thrcu..ttnies to cut men with a v ' ' kuifo. _ Master Painters' Card to the Public. OMAHA , May 13,1837. Wo , the under signed'master painters of Omaha , confi dent of tho. justice of the .position wo have taken in relation to the trouble now existing bolwcon us and the painters and paper hangnrs 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 been 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 the 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 Is the most sensible , reasonable and equitable method of settling differences , and wo claim that in refusing to leave the matter to arbitration , as the striking paint ers and paper hangers have done , they confess a doubt as to the justice qt their demands and wo request an intelli gent community to withhold from them moral support in their present uncalled forandunjustiliablDcour.se. The 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 five years of 50 per cent on an average. Wo are satislied with pres ent prices , and at these prices we have boon paying paper hangnrs from ? : ) to s4.50 per day.

FOIJU OUT Ol ) ONE. The People or Ousiof Dnslro Their County to ho Quartered , J. W. Smith , of Cnllaway , Custer county , is in the city and has in his pos session the petition of a largo 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 bo known respectively as Ouster county , Marion county , Piirndl county , and Gladstone county. This petition is the result of a convention which was held on Wednesday at Calhiway. Twenty dele gates , live from each of the four pro posed now counties , wore present , be sides a largo number of other citi/.eiH. The convention was harmonious. In addition to endorsing the petition above referred to , it adopted a resolution that , until the proposed division should bo ef fected it was the sense of the people of Custer county that the county seal should bo removed from Broken Bow to Sergeant , a new town in the northeast portion of the county and on the line of the B. & M. road which is luilng constructed up the JMhldlo Lou p. The town site 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 B. &M. corporation. The petition will be considered by the Glister county commissioners , and if they regard it favorably an election will be field next fall. * The people \vill then vote upon the propositions to divide and also to move the county seat. There appears to bo. as ono factor of this movement , a desire to hit Broken Bow a slap. The people of nil 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 Bow is inclined to "hog it" upon every opportunity. To secure the success of the proposition to divide , the convention resolved itself into a grand central cam paign committee and will make it the most prominent issue. A Good Yonr for Canal Koatmen. Rochester Union : The canal men are getting ready for a fjreat boom. The 3,1)00 ) boats in commission on state waters will bo increased to1,000 by the addition of 100 now ones built in Rochester , Whitehall , Oswego. Tonawanda , 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 intor-stato commerce law is relied nuon to help them , but business took a bip upward jump last year and will continue to climb this. Anew feature in canallmg is the rapidly accumulating number of steamer ? . The steamer has boon 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 volrd not long ago , a steamer pushing one boat and pulling two , or transporting nearly 10,000 bushels of grain , can bo accommo dated , and this little flotilla can run right through from Buffalo to Now York without outside aid. avoiding the cum- 'brous tows and doing the work very cheaply.

Chicago Herald : A distinguished belle is a book agent and she has in ten or twelve days made herself singularly famous down town. Hur mnthod is a marvel of skill , aided by natural advan tage. Tno latter consists of the ability to shed tears at will. I don't know how she docs it , but she docs. At precisely the time and place for tears to bo of valua they drop from her eyes and trickle down her chocks. Perhaps there is something the matter with Dortour ducts , but if there is , I doubt if she would care to bo cured. She hag been fooling the brokers especially. She enters an ottlco quietly but lirmly , and , with no olrcuiu. locution , tells the 1)03 that she wishes him ( o buy a book. Ho says no. un hesitatingly and perhaps crossly , Then she turns on the tears. "What's the mattorf" ho asks. "Oh , nothing of any consequence , " flic replies , making toward the door. But ho sympathetically begs her to voice her grief , whereupon she tolls 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 ' CORSETS BONED WITH KABO.
