There are seven ent ries : Hobinson , Bohn , Klticc , Schacfer , Hut/ , Dahl and Long. The tournament , if each man plays his games , and don't ' back outwill , la'st for a weeH. Yesterday a notice was served on John Bohn , of the Ugdon hotiio bar , citing him to appear before Judge Carson with the others on the -Ith of June. There nuw remains but one bar in the city , that of the Pacilic house , which has not yet been notified. The bills for two cars of tics , for the Alanawa Motor railway , have arrived at the Wabash freight ollico and the cars will probably arrive to-day. Tim Chicago lumber company have received bills for eight cars which show that many are on the road. Ueorgo Patterson , who has been here for several days , lias been arrested by Sheriff Trnax , of Jackson county , for the robbery of a watch from a jeweler of MaquoKcta , la , , named Charles Galla gher. The sheriff returned with his pris oner to Maquokcta. The olans for the counters , desks , rail ings , etc. , of the now county court house are filed at the county auditor's ollico. They are elaborate , and the assurance is given that the interior of the new build ing will bo so attractive and convenient as to bo in keeping with the exterior. King & Franklin's circus ended their two day's stand in this city last nightt The price of admission has only been ten cents Init the show has boon equal to many a fifty-cent one who made more pretentious. This is their second year's visit to this city and in both cases the public have been highly entertained. A girl is reported as missing. She en torcd the employ of the family of Ueorgo Smith , on Madihon stieet , on Thursday. She brought her trunk and began work. Towards evening she remarked that she had to go down town for something , biit up to yesterday noon had not put in an appearance again and had not sent for her trunk. , The city council thoughtlessly ad journcd to meet on Decoration day. No tice has been given for these desiring to protest against their assessments to an pear before that body , sitting as a board of equalization , but in view of the day it is probable that there will bo no business done beyond udjouruing to some more appropriate season.

Straw berries and ice cream " 5 cents. In the district court yesterday the Jones murder trial still occupied the time. The evidence is being taken very rapidly , and although every important point is closely contested , yet the trial is proceeding much more rapidly than was expected. Jones sits apart from fill the others , speaking to no one , and apparently as unconcerned in the trial as if ho was sim ply waiting at the depot for anight train , half snoozing , and apparently bored by the tcdiousness of the waiting. It is claimed that lie is not balanced mentally , but if ho is ho certainly is the best actor to feign insanity or idiocy that over ap peared in a court room. Jacob Sims , the attorney prosecuting the saloons , is receiving anonymous threatening letters , lie declines to lot them go out of his hands for publication , but the contents of some of them , as learned by the BEB , are too ridiculous to alarm anyone. Ono letter warns him that ho is to die , an eyent which will doubtless come to pass some time , al though it will not doubtless bo hastened by any such intimations of its speedy coming. The writers of such anonymous letters must feel very sneaky wheu they come to sit down and calmly think over what fools they have made of them selves. The council is considering the advisa bility of putting the patrol wagon in use in connection with the now lire and police alarm. The lire department needs another horse , to servo as a substitute in case any of the present number is tem porarily disabled , and so long as it seems necessary to get one more horse , it seems that two might as well be pur chased , and this team used on the patrol wagon. By the use of the new alarm system , and the patrol wagon , the pres ent force of police can bo made to equal twice the present number uudor the pres ent way of traveling the beats and making arrests. The effectiveness of the force can bo thus greatly increased with very little addiUonaloxpenso. The Hamblctonian stallion , Arbitrator , can be scon at my stable on Fourth or Bancroft streets , three doors south of liattonhaur's carriage repository. Ho is a grandson of llysayko's llamblotonian on the sire side , and a grandson of Mem- brine chief on ( ho dam side , the ac knowledged principal products of speed and general purpose horses in America , and Arbitrator is no exception to the rule. He is a horse of great individual merit and speed , and for the purpose of convincing the breeders of high bred horses that ho is all that is claimed of him , I will speed him a ten or twenty- roilo dash on the road to GOO pounds' weight with any stallion owned in the country. 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 or can bor row into straight horses , and not into books , pamphlets and wind , talking about their forty-second cousins' per formances. Also Colonel Rcovo , bred byV. . H. H. Colby , of Fort Dodge , la. , sired by Star- licht , by Star of the \\ost , dam by Coupon pen , Jr. , by Coupon , by Hysdyko's Ham- bloton'ian. This colt is n stranger in a strange land , but his breeding is cer tainly all any man could wish for. His great and positive individuality , his true nnil.poworful stride , his wonderful con stitutional powers , and his powerful Btcel-convertod frame work , insure for mm n earcor that will place him among the grandest stallions ia the west.

The news is published in the tele- empiric columns of the arrest in Denver of A. F. Powell , who is charged with having secured fl.oOO of an Omaha hank by inducing Dr. IJlnsmorc to endorse a draft for linn. Powell was in this city on Monday and registered at the Pacific house , in company with a man named J. J. Hartigan. The latter seemed to bo a > comrade , and was a man easily noticed , us he had lost one lop and wore a wootlun one. The two remained over night ami the next day wont to Omaha , whoro.that day the draft was cashed. Powell ar rived hero on Monday , before Hartigan , and during the day was busy telephon ing to Omaha , and inquiring after llarti- Iran , who joined him towards evening. It seems that if there was any suclt crokod work a.s is alleged , that Hartigan must have been in some way knowing to it. The two regirtored from St. Louis , and occupied the some room , and were together all of the time. J. W. & K. L.

London Times : Kioto , as the mikado's capital and ccntro of aristocratic resi dence , was always famous , and is fam ous still , for the variety and excellence of its dances , as well as for the beauty , grace and skill of the performers whoso accomplishments arc a household word in Japan. No visitor should leave Kioto without seeing a mikado entertainment. For centuries it was the chief school of the art , produced its own high-class types , in which the object always aimed at was to preserve , amid all yariot.y , the the courtly elegance and dignity and beautiful auparel of ancient styles. Such , for example , is the Shirabiyoshi , a pure Kioto dance of considerable antiquity. And such , though of modern date , is ttio Miyako-Odori , or metropolitan dance , devised barely twenty years ago by u late director of the dancing society of Kioto. A rcprcscntatioa of this rotincd dance has just been prepared for the stage with great care in honor of the mikado's visit , and I had an opportunity of wit nessing its.pcrformauco a few evenings ago. ago.Tho theatre is of plain unvarnished and unpaintcd wood , the most striking fea tures being the ponderous roof , carried on a single span of some fifty foot , and the high excellence of the carpenters' and joiners' work. Besides the main stage in front , there are two narrower stages , occupying the right and loft sides of the building. On the fourth side , facing the main stage , is a largo room-like box f9r the imperial family and court , and in front of it two or three tiers of raised Beats , plainly a modern invention. The body of the auditorium , occupying the space between the side stages , id a tlat , undivided matted area , in , or rather on , which the spectators sit in Japanese fash ion , and solace themselves with their tiny pipes of fragrant tobacco and little cups of tea. On entering wo find the stages con cealed by curtains of white silk crape , painted with plnof bamboo and plum trees. thOj emblems of longevity , vigor , and fragrance. These are the only deco rations. The lighting is footlights , with candles for the stajoand banging lamps and rows of candles for the rest of the In terior. Ou the rise of the curtain the scene In front represents a summer house in the grounds of the mikado's palace , girt by a veranda with rod lacquered steps and railings , and hung with bamboo blinds. Right aild left , on each side stage , Is a crimson dais , on which are seated eight girl musicians , or geisha , from about eighteen to twenty years of age , clothed in soft raiment ot brilliant hues , and getup up from head to foot in the highest style of Japanese art. The eight on the right arc players of the samisen , a species of three-slrlngt'd guitar , the chords of which arc struck with an ivory plectrum. Of those on the left four play the tsuzuml , a small drum hold In the air and struck with the hand , the other four performing alternately with the taiko , or Mat drum , and bells of delicate tono. Music and singing are at once begun , These are of the ( plaint and for the most * part , somewhat dismal typo pccular to the the higher llights of the musical art In Japan , Ono must be a Japanese to appreciate them. Time and tune , however , are evidently well kept , and the performance is doubtless good of its kind. After a short overture , the Maiko appear , entering at the extremi ties , of the side stages , right and loft of the Imperial box , and moving in single file toward the main fctago. Their ad vance , extremely slow , can only -bo de scribed as a progress. It is notu march ; neither is it a dance , as wo understand the term , Stately almost to solemnity , yet full ( jf graco.'it is a series of artistic posturings and pantomime , in time with the music and accompanied by the slow est possible forward movement. By the time all of the danscuses have entered there are sixteen on either side young girls' of from about fifteen to seventeen years old. In dress they are counterparts of the musicians aglow with scarlet , light blue , white , and gold , in robes of great longlh and voluminous folds , bound with girdles of truly prodigious dimensions. In spile , how ever , of the gorgeous coloring , there is nothing garish or distasteful to the eye. No canon of art or taste is oil'cnded. The secret lies in the fabric of the girls' gar- mcnts silk crape , the delicate softness of which relieves the brilliancy of tints that might otherwise bo displeasing. In person the Maiko arc the prettiest little specimens of budding Japanese girlhood , rosy-lipped and black-eyed , with comely and delicate features , tiny hands and feet , and an air of graceful modesty and innocence rarely seen on any stage. As for their qoill'uro , it is : v miracle of the Japanese hairdresser's skill , and rich with adornments of How- cas and coral. How much of their beauty these dainty little lasses may owe to art i might be unkind to inquire too closely. Kioto is famed for its manufacture of shirol , a white lead cosmetic of rare vir tue , and said to bousedvitli a skill which western ladies of fashion would give a good deal to possess. But surely there can bo little need for it hero , if wo may judge from the whiteness of the Maiko's hands and of as much of her arms as is now and then revealed to us. There is also a Japanese rongo of great merit , which uncharitable persons might sus pect of having a share in the brilliancy of these "treads of scarlet , " the Maiko s lips. lips.Tiny Tiny razors , too. are oven supposed by some malignant minds to play a part in the finely penciled eyebrows of Japanese belles. Fans , of course , play a promi nent part in tiio intricate gestures of the Mikado. These carried now are largo and circular , and richly bedecked with red and white ( lowers. With these , as with their heads , hands , limbs , and bodies , the Hies display to the full , on their slow progress up the theatre , that music of motion which so delights the eyes of the Japanese. Thus , turning , bowing , swaying , kneeling , and waving , always graceful and in time with the music , the ranks at length meet on the front stage , pass pno another , and retire again down the sides , at the end of which they turn , form into pairs , and regain the stage , one wing soon leaving it , while the ether continues the dance bcforo the footlights for a few minutes , when it also retires. All this while the music goes on , now sad and slow , anon in livelier strains , and is accompanied by the voices of the samisen players , chanting a hymn of happiness , prosperity and peace , in which the reign of "our Lord , the Mi kado , " is likened in highly ilowerv lan guage , to the beauty and tranquility of nature "at this first dawn of spring. " Next the bamboo blinds of the veranda are raised , revealing the first squadron of dancers postured in picturesqun groups between a background of dead gold and the crimson lacquer of the veranda. These , descending to the stage , rcsumo the dance. They have parted with their llowcr-crirt fans , and each girl has a tsn/.umi attached to her girdle , with which she accompanies the orches tra. tra.To To them , on their withdrawing , sue' cecds the second squadron , who , with scarlet and white fans , go through a measure of singular grace and beauty , and at length retire to the veranda , which rises with them , bringing the flrst scene to a close. The second scene is laid in the famous gardens of Arashiy- ama , in the suburbs of Kioto , and ap pears as a fairyland of flowering cherry trees , lit by a galaxy of minute star-like lamps. Here the whole corps gradua reassemble , and at length execute a ti dance of the same typo as before , after which they retire by the side stages with the slow , measured movements that marked their first entrance. Thus , after about an hour's. perform ance , ends the Miyako-Odori. It illus trates no talc or plot. It is only an elab orate measure of "woven paces and waving * hands , " such as Vivien may have trodden ' 'in the wild woods of Brocehande. " It has no objects but these of exhibiting color , raiment , grace and beauty , with all the skill that Japan ese art taste can contrive , and of preserv ing the old classic style of dancing and .setting examples of the highest forms of strict feminine etiquette.
