Tiip most satisfactory proof of the excel

sold yesterday forenoon , and the scats re
served. Those who desire to secure a choice

Dnll and It.it.
Tlio attendance at yesterday's ball gnmo
between the homo team nnd the Crane Bros ,
team of Omaha was very light , thcro being
but about flC taken nt the gate. The Bluffs
boys looked very nobly in their new suits ,
and they played a strong even gaino that
was a surprise oven to their most enthusiastic
admirers. The grounds were in very poor
condition , tlio space in the rear of the homo
pinto being a veritable pond. Owing to this
muddy condition of the grounds It was neces
sary to change balls every few minutes , us
the sphere would quickly become heavy mid
bxtremoly dtfllcult to handle.
The visitors played a good pamo , but failed
to discover the enjoyable picnic that they had
evidently expected to find.

'In the District. Court.
Yesterday was , ns usual , set nsldo In the
district court for the hearing of motions nnd
the transaction of other business not requir
ing the prcscnico nnd wise aid of the Jurymen.
HUfih Thompson was before the court to
receive his sentence for having ono wlfo too
many. The motion for a now trial , based on
the claim that ono of the Jurymen who con
victed him was drinking during the trial ,
was overruled. The sentence was not form
ally pronounced , but Judge Ucemcr gnvo
Thompson the assurance that if ho paid ? 500
cash Into the clerk's ofilco on or before next
Saturday , that would bo the extent of the
flno , and the Imprisonment would consist of
ono day In the county Jail. If the money was
not forthcoming bv that day ho would make
the sentence ono year in tlio penitentiary ,
Tlio attorneys for Thompson assured the
court that tlio'cash would bo paid in.
The Jones murder case went over for two
weeks.
One interesting question sprung In court
yesterday was In regard to appeals taken
from Justice courts. Ordinarily those ap
peals go right to the district court , but In this
city there Is a superior court having concur
rent Jurisdiction with the district court in
such matters. In the case brought up yes
terday nn appeal had been taken from
'Squire Brlggs' court , and that ofliclal took
the transcript to the superior court , claiming
that there were no directions given him to
send it elsewhere. On the other hand ,
it was claimed that the attorney taking
the appeal asked him to send it.
to the district court. One of
the questions is whether , in case
the parties do not consent to having It go to
the superior court , the justice can summarily
tnko it there , or whether ho ought not taito
It to the district court. Another question is
as to whether the attorney ought not to sco
to it himself , that the cnso is sent to the court
which he selects , nnd whether ho ought not
to follow up the case , instead of leaving it to
the Justice wholly. Judge Doemer after hear
ing the conflicting testimony , concluded that
thcro were some nice points of law involved ,
which ho would have to consider.
Grant , whoso right name is Jack Kane ,
was yesterday sentenced to four years for
conflilcnclng a LaFayctte county man out of
a few dollars at the transfer. Kane has had
a hard record , and It is thought that a longer
time in the penitentiary would no more than
have evened up Justice , although for this sin
gle offcnso ho perhaps gets a full dose.

- The City's Credit Better ,
A very important change has taken place
in the value of this city's pjpor. A short
time ago it was illfllcult to dispose of grading
and other improvement bonds nt 00 cents on
the dollar , but they arc now selling nt par ,
and the demand for them is much in excess
of the supply. This result Is duo to the ef
forts of Mayor Kohrer and the now1 council ,
who determined shortly after entering upon
the duties of their oflico to change the exist
ing state of affairs in that respect.
The contractors appreciate the change , as
it relieves them of the disagreeable task of
hawking the bonds about for buyers when
ever they wished to turn them into money.
The result will also be felt by the taxpavers ,
ns the contractors will take city work nt
lower figures when bonds sell readily at par
than when they are a drug in the market at
00 per cent.
A similar upward tendency is noticed in
the price pr.ld for city warrants. City em
ployes who receive their pay in warrants can
now dispose of them for 90 cents , whereas
but n few months ago they received only 80
cents.
This increase In the value of the paper puts
the money in the hands of the men who
earned it. and whoso monthly pay is all they
have to live upon , requiring them to sell their
warrants for whatever they can got.
This chance for the bettor is much appre
ciated by nil parties concerned , nnd it is
hoped will continue.

gathering Is to further enlighten the public
as to what has been done , what is to bo done ,

idea of the magnitude of the enterprise , or

the permanent establishment of this enter
prise. Ifivcry public spirited citizen will
gladly give material aid to this movement as
soon ns lie realizes what it all means. At
tlio meeting to-night no direct attempt Is to

needed enthusiasm. Tlio coming weoic should
sco the enterprise secured , HO that the man
agers can proceed without delay to laying the
foundations broad enough to make it a truly
national institution , drawing thousands hero
every season for rest' , recreation and instruc
tion.

AWODNERFUL MADSTONE.
For a Hundred Years It Una Cured the
ISItcH ot * Snnkes and Mnd Dogs.
The recent death of n man in Banks
county , Ga. , who had been bitten by a
mad dog , has revived interest in mad-
stones , of which there are several in
various parts in the state , says the Savan
nah News. There is one in Fail-burn
which is said to have been successfully
applied to about ono hundred persons.
But by all odds the most notable stone
the south is that owned by Mrs. L. W.
Gibson , in Columbia county. It derived
interest not nlono from the wonderful
cures which it has effected , but from its
antiquity nnd the manner in which it
came into possession of the family.
In 174fT a vessel from the East Indies
touched the coast of North Carolina ,
where the great-grandfather of Mrs.
Gibbon's husband lived at the time. A
passenger who was sick was put oil , and
Kir. Gibson took him lo his homo , where
the stranger was welcomed and nursed
back to health. When about to take his
departure ho took from his pocket two
stones , ono of which ho presented to
Mr. Gibbon , tolling him tlmt it was of
great ago , as ho had been assured by
the gentleman from whom ho pro
cured it in Bombay ; that it pos-
scpsod remarkable powers in all cases
of blood poisoning , whether it resulted
from corrosion of foreign subbtnnco ,
from the bites of animals or insects of
any description , or from inoculation.
Even in cases of small-pox , said the
stranger , the stone had been known to
extract the poison from the system ,
leaving the patient thoroughly restored
to health. Tlio stone was of a grayish
black color and perfectly smooth. It
was ono inch in length , three quarters
of an inch in widtli and half an inch
think.
Tlio stranger disappeared , and the
stone was laid by as u curiosity. No
faith was placed in its medical quali
ties. It was not long , however , before
nn event happened which brought the
stone into high roputo. A member of
Mr. Gibbon's family was bitten by a rat-
tlosmiko. All known remedies failed.
The patient had pas&ed into paroxysms
and all hope had lied. It was then that
ono of the children thought of the mys
terious stone. As no harm could bo
done , it was determined to utso it. An
incision was made in the patient's log ,
ono Inch above the spot bitten , ana the
stone was inserted. As the stone nd-
hcred a fee-ream of unuttcrablo anguish
escaped the lips of the sulTeror , as if
life itself was being drawn out. In less
than ono minute the stone had changed
its color from dark to n poisonous-look
ing green. It was pulled out and soaked
in warm water , and applied again nnd
again , its adhesive power becoming
less and less until at last it refused Ui
stick. By tills time the patient fell off
into a heavy sleep , only to wako to u
coiibclousness of restored health , lie
lived for thirty years after the event.
It was thus that the btono which was
only kept as n jobt became an object that
money could not buy , From nil parts
of the coast there were calls for the
wonderful stono. Tlio family subse
quently removed to Columbia county ,
in this btuto , whore for 100 years this
stone has been an object of curiosity to
physicians and people In general.
Tlio recent history of this remarkable
stone io quite as slning * . us that of its
earlier yeans , curing the bites of mad
dogs-and cats , and stiptJH ° * scorpions

and snakes , nnd the Inoculation of poi
sonous substances. In 187 ! ! , Abe Lock-
hart , n colored man in Columbia county ,
was bitten by a pilot snako. Tlio stone
was applied to the bite. The wonderful
part of the story is that the man , who
nnd inherited scrofula , was cured of that
disease , and lias had since no re
turn of the malady. Seven yctu-s ago
Shack Green , who lived nine miles
away , was bitten by Oi rnUlcsnako.
When found ho was unconscious. Ho
was put into n , wagon and driven the
nine miles to the homo of Mrs. Gibson.
By that time the victim's leg was swol
len to thrco times Its usual size. As
soon ns the stone was applied It affected
the sufferer precisely as it had its first
subject , over a century before.
A case which attracted widespread
attention was that ot Mrs. Williams ,
who lived near the plantation of Gen
eral Robert Toombs , in Wilkes countv.
In 1881 Miss Williams was inoculated
from virus obtained from a mnd cow.
When the fact was discovered it sent a
shock through the community. The
lady's friends at once resolved to use.
Mrs. Gibson'smadstonoifWhjch was en
tirely successful in warding off the an
ticipated danger. A strange case was
that of the two grruidehildren of
Mrs. McGinty , of NorwooU , who had
been bitten nnd scratchdd f&irfully by a
mad cat. The stone wits' ' applied to the
two alternately. The | ChiJdren wore
taken to the house by tbeir' two uncles ,
who , sixty years before , had been bit
ten by mad dogs , and o\yed.hoir { . rescue
to the same stone. i i )
In fact , there is hardly a * community
in the Cnrolinns , Georgia and Alabama ,
in which tbo fame of this renowned
stone has not been heard of. Fre
quently the country homo of Mrs. Gib
son , at Aopling , is survounued by ve
hicles heaving the nfllictod from distant
points anxious to bo resiofcd to health.
