"Sport" .Miller's Good Luck.
Among the names published in yesterday's
telegrams to the Bite as having been awarded
pensions as veterans of the , Mexican war ,
appeared that of Thomas II. Miller , of Coun
cil Bluffs. Few will recognize in that dig-
nillcd appellation "Sport" Miller , as bo is so
familiar known , and yet ft is none other than
this well known street character. "Sport"
Miller is n veteran of the civil war also , but
has never received any pension for services
in that war. His pension as a Mexican vet
eran will be fa per month , besides a nice lit
tle bunch of back pay. Tills is n rare bit of
good fortune for him , as during the past few
years his \vays have been decidedly rocky.
He picks up n few nickles by shining boots
and selling papers. * His family Is scattered ,
and liis troubles have been largely due to
his own weaknesses.
Tlio New Council.
The newly elected aldermen have all qunll-
( led , and nro ready to take their seats In the
new council as soon ns the terms of the out
going members oxplro. A statement recently
appeared that Alderman Waterman had not
qualllicd and was prevented from taking that
step within the allotted tlnio. The fact is
that Mr. Waterman was the first of the new
city fathers to legally qualify , having done
eo a few days after election , Just prior to his
sickness. His condition is still quite precari
ous , and but few friends are allowed to sco
him Ho was resting more easily yostcrday
and it is hoped will soon get the bettor of
that dread disease , typhoid pneumonia.

The condition of the Ice In the river In the
vicinity of the now bridge has not changed
much in the past twenty-four hours. Along
the cast bank It Is still firm , but the west side
of the liver Is open. The water foil yester
day about two feet , caused doubtless by an
ice gorge somewhere up the river. The
caisson remains unharmed. The workmen
will bo employed on the shore -piers while
the Ice is going out , and then work cap be
resumed on the caissons.
Far Children.
Considerable complaint U made concerning
the unprotected condition in wulch the side
walk leading to the Illfjh school grounds U
left. The walk runs along the edge of a high'
bank from ten to twenty i'cct hl 'h , and as it
will probably remain there until the street
below Is cut down to grade , there Is n demand
for a railing to prevent any accidents. Thcso
arc Very liable to occur nt nny time , ns the
school children'rush carelessly 'along Tthcro ,
pushing mid crowding each other within a
few feet of the cdco nnd n fall Would result
seriously If not fatally A suitable railing
could bo erected nt a small expense , and
would substitute reasonable safety for cer
tain danger.

New York Correspondence of the
Globe-Democrat : "Ah , glad to see you.
Pryor , Hope yon are well. "
"Yes , thanks ; nnd you ? Golngabroad ,
eh ? "
The first speaker was Phil Armour ,
the ten times millionaire pork packer
of the bounding west. Ho had just
scrawled his name on the register of the
Fifth Avenue hotel , and the man ho
greeted so warmly was Detective Pryor ,
who hae nothing to do but dross well
and see that crooks of nil kinds kcop
away from the hotel and its guests.
Prvor is six foot and two inches , and in
some respects his physique suggests
John L. Sullivan. Ho dresses in the
latest fashion , and is fond of a sweot-
amolling roso. for the buttonhole of his
coat. Everybody knows him , and ho has
a pleasant word for everybody. The
wealthy pork packer with his hands be
hind his back spent n half hour walking
up mid down the hotel corridor with
htm , talking on all sorts of subjects.
When they separated a bystander said
to Pryor :
"I'll bet the old man Is afraid of his
lifo. Honest , now , didn't ho ask you to
kcop an eye on him and sec no one did
him harmi1"
Pryor shook his head in a ncgrttivo
fashion , but did not speak , which left
the speaker in considerable doubt about
the matter. Armour's lifo has boon
threatened several times , but ho is said
not to bo afraid. However thatmay bo ,
thcro are other people from distant
cities who como to New York and stop
at the big hotels , who nro timid , Ono
of the first tilings they do after regis
tering is to deposit their valuables in
the hotel safo. nnd then seek the house
detective and ask that an eye be kept
on suspicious characters , eo that they
may do thorn no harm.
Dotoctlvcs are being used more nnd
more every day. Not only are they em
ployed regularly in halls , restaurants ,
in banks and in big olllccs , but they are
also engaged by clubs , theaters , stores
and for private houses. For years , night
nnd day , a detective has paced up and
down in front of Stewart's marblopalaco
on Fifth avenue , and nt least n score of
other private families employ thorn.
Ono man is on guard during the day
and another at night. At all big din
ners , receptions and balls , detectives
are engaged to keep an eye on visitors ,
nnd wedding presents nro never exhib
ited now except in the presence of n detective -

their services ,

that ono tlmo awnj' back when ho was

hnd togo6vor ai mountain rnngohnd
doxvn into a valley where he had never
been before. TluOiumblc people in that
valley wqrn almost cut off and hid out
from the rest ofstho world , hnd efpcc-
inlly from that Fide of the world in
which Mr' . Vancq' ' lived. Ho know noth
ing about their politics or their relig
ion. t'North ' Carolina Is a curious
state. " saId , he. "Her religion is
Epscklcd and spotted Hko it hnd the
inencles. In one valley you will find the
people all Episcopalians , however poor
nnd primitive. The ancestors of first
settlers came from old England nnd
brought that religion with thorn , and ,
ns nobody moved in or moved out , their
descendants kept the faith of their fath
ers. In another valley.you will find them
all Presbyterians , because the ancestors
came from Scotland. In another they
will bo nil Methodists or all Baptists ,
and cvcrv ono of these separate commu
nities will have nn old patriarch workIng -
Ing in the lend , and ho Is looked upon
ns the bcll-wothcr of the flock. Now , it
Is necessary that a politician should
know the religious faith of these with
whom ho Is Mcclioneering' for votes.
If ho can't ' chlmo in with it exactly ho
mustn't say anything 'agin' ' It , Now , "
said Mr. Vance , "when I got over Into
the valley to meet my appointment. I
found about sovcnty-flvo of the huinblo
sovereigns gathered at the cross-roads
where thcro was a little store and n
wngon- hop nnd a mectlng-housc.
They had on their homc-mado
clothes and wcro standing around
chewing tobacco and talking about
'craps' nnd waiting for mo to como. T
soon got familiar with them and got
them in first-rate humor , but as Holdcn
was to como over in a flay or two I
wanted to fix things in some way so
that ho couldn't unfix thorn.
Iloldon was a Methodist and
I was afraid that these
people wcro. I noticed nn old man sit
ting off on a chunk and marking in the
sand with his long walking-stick. Ho
had on big brass spectacles nnd his
heavy shaggy eyebrows and big long
nose indicated character , and BO I sot
him down as the bell-wothcr of the flock.
After n while I got up close to him and
was about to address him , when he guvo
a prayerful grunt and got up and braced
himself oii his stick and looking at mo
said in a solemn voice : 'This is Mr.
Vance , I boliovoV 'Yes , sir , ' said I ,
giving him my hand. 'And I am
Emanuel Stoner , ' said ho , 'and I sup
pose you have come over the mounting
to talk to my boys about their votes. '
'Yes , sir , ' said I , 'that is mv principal
business , and I ' 'Well , Mr. Vance , '
baid heintorruptlng me'beforo ; you pro
ceed any further with that business I
would like to axyou a question or two. '
'Certainlysir'sttid I ; 'certainly.5 'Well ,
Mr. Vnnco , allow mo to ax you what
church do you belong to ? '
"Well , that wasa sockdolager and it
came straight at mo , and for a moment
I was demoralized , but I railed , and aa
the boys had nil gathered around to
hear the old man put' mo through , I
cleared my throal and said : 'That is a
fair question , my'fricndafair ; question ,
and I will toll you about that. My
grandfather came from England , and as
over thcro the established church was
Episcopalian , of'course ho was a Episco
palian. '
"I paused a moment to sco the effect
of this , but thero'was none that was fav-
orablo. The oldi man marked a little
more in the sand nnd spit his tobacco
awny off on ono side. So I continued.
'But my grandmother csmejfrom Scot
land , and you know that John Knox loft
his mark upon the whole nation , and
so , of course , she grow up n
Presbyterian. ' I paused again , but
there was no sign , no awakening , no
chord struck , and the old man marked
some more in the sand. 'But , my
friend , my father was born and grew up
in a Methodist community , who were in
this country , and converted by John
Wesley , and. of course , bo became a
Methodist.1 I thought that now I hnd
him sure , but I didn't. There was no
sign of sympathy from him or the boys ,
and so I took my first shot. 'But my
good old mother , sir , was born and
raised a Baptist , and it's always boon
my opinion that a man has got to go
under the water before fie can got to
heaven. ' A gleam of satisfaction spread
all over the old man's face as ho said :
give mo your hand , Brother Vance ,
Boys , I told you so ; 1 told you that ho
was a Baptist uforo ho como. Ho is a
man. You can all vote for him , but Hol-
den won't do nary time , for they do say

A Great Rattle
Is continually going on in the human
system. The demon of impure blood
strives to gain victory over the consti
tution , to ruin health , to drag victims
to the grave. A good , relinblo mcdi-
clno like Hood's Sar&aparilla is the
weapon with which to defend one's self ,
drive the desperate enemy from the
field , and restore peace and bodily
health for many years. Try this pe
culiar medicine.
Itltllnc a AVlhl Buffalo.
BillingSjU. T. Gazette : In November ,
1882 , north of the Yellowstone river , be
tween Dry Fork nnd Red Water
streams , buffaloes were very plentiful
and the slaughter of them was prose
cuted with unrelenting vigor. That
was the section Vic Smith , Dee Yahl ,
"Missouri Jim , " Jim Blnko , George
Brown and many others followed the
buknlo like an avenging Nomosls , and
sad to say , never lot up until the noble
game was wiped out. Charles W.
Hock , bettor known as Dick Rock , was
acknowledged to bo the quickest buf
falo skinner on fho range , Ho could
easily skin fortyTfivo buffaloes in ono
day a well propoi'tioned six-footer nnd
the best horseman I over saw. Ho
claimed that ho could ride nnd "stick"
anything that woj'o ' hair , unless it was a
grin/ly bear. Itiwns seldom that ho
spoke of his prowess unless bantered by
Berne of his companions. At that time
he was hunting on a tributary of Dry
Fork , close to Vjo Smith's camp.i
One evening in camp the subject of
breaking horecs nnd wild animals to
ride came up , nnd Dick offered to bet
$50 that ho could ride a buffalo. His
money was quickly covered , and Sara
Blcjtncll was chosen referee nnd stake
holder. The conditions wcro that he
should ride n buffalo half an hour , bar
ring accidents , such as the running
under limbs of trees , that skirted the
small streams , The next morning ono
of the party rode over to Smith's camp
and acquainted him with the facts of
the wngur and required his assistance in
securing-the animal on which Rock waste
to rido. Vo ( acquiesced nnd soon nil
hands rode out in search of the game.
They approached within two hundred
Yards of about a dozen bull'ulos , and nil
hands stopped with the exception of
Via , who crawled On hands and 'knees
within one hundred yards , and , select
ing a fine , fat cow , took careful
aim and accomplished what was in
tended that is , shot her through
thomufacrOBoftho nock and knocked her
down , n fp'nt that is called 'creasing. ' '
At the crook of the rillo Rock , on his
horse , sped like the wind to the fallen
cow , and quickly dismounting sprang
upon the uruto a back , which had al
ready recovered consciousness , .nnd
mvny they went full tUC after thb bal
ance of tno herd , wlilcn was about o
quartet of n mlle distant. His large
spurs , -which ho hnd sunk deep In tno
Cow's sides , Icrvcd to enable him to ro-
( aln his sent ) while it also served toirrl-
talq the , bruto. Sue bellowed end
bucked in a frightful manner while
Rock applied tho. "quirt. " .They soon
were among the herd of buffaloes nnd ,
Tcmnrknblo as It may appear , the other
buffaloes did not appear frightened al
coming In contact with man , but. on
the contrary endeavored to unseat him
by hooking viciously at his legs.
The balance of the boys soon sopv
rated Rock and his animaurom xho rest
of the herd and ran them In a circle
until tlmo was called , when a hnll-
breed , named Bnptiste , shot tno buffalo ,
and Rock lay down , on the ground for
about twenty minutes to search for his
lost vrtnd , that had been completely
pumped out of him by the terrible buck
ing nnd Jolting that ho had received ,
His legs were badly bruised from the
horni of the herd ,
A newspaper printed In Gaelic , the
only one of the kind In the country , htvs
