A colt breaking exhibition In the rear of Whcolor & Herald's new bultdini ! on Upper UronUwny , yesterday morning , drew n larger crowd than some of tlio churches , The entertainment was fairly good of Its kind , but hardly suited to the day. The Indications nro thut there will bo no lack of bands nt the tournament. A com- munlcntlnii from Carson suites that n lady's If hand will attend from that place , nnd the | -i Mnrslmlltown department writes that u Rood b.itid will tome from there. Several others Intend to coma from points in Iowa and Nebraska. The toundntlon forthoChautauquaAssom- bly amphitheater Is completed , and this It inornlni : work will bo commenced on the [ ' Buperstructuro. Fifteen carloads of lumber nro on the ground , and from this time forward - ward the great amphitheater will grow Into shape. It will bo semi-circular In form , with n diameter of 2&1 feet. The jury In the case of Foresliolmcr vs. Stewart , scoma unublu to agree , and It is reported - ported that they hang lira by an oven vote of six to six. Tlio prospect Is exceedingly good for n disagreement , and another trial of this civil chestnut. The jury went out Saturday noon , nnd was no nearer n verdict last evenIng - Ing than when the llrst ballot was taken. A lively came of ball was played yesterday afternoon between the Union I'licillR Browns nnd the Boston Store nine. The latter team is composed of colored players , and has just been organized. They stand ready to piny nny amateur team In the city. The score of yesterday's gutuo was Boston Store 12 , Union Pacillo Urowna 11. Umpire , Gcorgo Kelly. Two reckless individuals were run in last evening for fast driving on Uroadway. One of them was u gentleman of color , who was driving n broncho to a sulky , and seemed to labor under the Impression that ho was in a running race. Ho continued to belabor tlio nnlmnl with the whip after Ofllccr Thomas seized it by the nridlo , builtho oniucr was too much for him , and ho landed in the bolo. The vags are having nny amount of free rides ut the expense of the cities of Council LiluJTs and Omaha. When found in one city they are escorted to the bridge by the polieo and their faro paid across the river. As soon as corullcd. by the authorities of the other city they nro promptly Jlreu back ngam. Tills game of battlcdoor and shuttlecock - cock is nil very well for the human misslc , but the puzzle is to find out who wins the game. The committee having charge of the dcco- rating of the graves of ola soldlnrs for Memorial day request all widows or friends of deceased soldiers who know of any unmarked - marked graves to report the snino to Coiu- rado McFuddon , who will bo in Fairviuw cemetery every Sunday morning for the re- mnindor of the month for that purpose. It Is desired thut no grave bo overlooked , and friends are urged to assist In the matter by giving all the information In their power. The latest pasture ground upon which certain - tain owners of hungry bovines have seized to herd their stock , is Falrviexv cemetery. Several animals browsed there leisurely and undisturbed Saturday mgnt and yesterday morning. Complaints of vandals defacing the gravestones and heartless wretches stealing - ing the floral tributes from the graves hud been previously heard , but this cups the climax. The demand for a watchman is by no means surprising or unreasonable. Ycsterdav was not a very busy day at Manuwa , as tbo weuthor was rather too cool to uiako a summer resort especially attrac- tlvo. and the majority of these who visited the take were drawn there by the ball game between the Union Pacifies and the Gtir- ncaus. Tiiorc was Quito a number of people who visited the resort during the day , the motor trains being well patronized , but the crowd was constantly coming and going , very few of the visitors spending the day at the lake. Work on the cut Into Falrmount park Is progressing very satisfactorily , and barring any unforscen accident or delay , will bo com- pletcd by the appointed time , the 20th of the present month. By to-morrow night the work will bo half done , and the driving of piles to support the bridge over the cut will bo couimencod. It is expected to have the cars of the electric motor line running into the park shortly jftcr the 1st of June. Tlio uiatorial for the extension Is here , and track laying will bo comuioriccd us soon as the work on the cut is sufllclcntly advanced to avoid nny dolay.

It Is stated that there arj no opsn saloons In Council Blurts , on Sunday , but the most positive evidence to the contrary Is to bo se cured by n drlvo down Broadway. No less than half a dozen saloons were running wldo open yesterday , on Btondwny , between the Indian creek bndgo nnd the river. They wcro not making the slightest attempt nt so- crccy. They were guiltless of any screens or blinds , nnd In numerous Instanejs liquor was brought out to the curb to parties who pre ferred to remain in their carriages. P'irtics of from two to half a dozen noisy Individuals monopolized a good share of the room mid a much larger share of public attention on that thoroughfare during the afternoon , Horse racing , yelling and gononl boisterous con duct , were features of the day. It scorned very evident that there was little liquor to bo secured on the other sldo of the river , as numerous parties wcro observed to como over the bridge , enter ono of the grog shoos near the east end of that structure , nnd shortly afterward return to Nebraska soil. The question that puzzles observers was whether the parties running these saloons paid extra for their Sunday privileges , or whether the authorities were somewhat un certain na to the limits of the city of Council Hlufts , nnd only enforced Uio closing man date In the business portion.

Maokay de livered n most practical and interesting dls-4 course upon "Tho Uses of Sin. " As a text , ho used the records of the nets of I'cter In his denial of the Savior , tils ropcntoncc nnd fealty to the work of salvation , and con trasted them with the nets of Judas , who betrayed - trayed Christ , was stricken with remorse , came and throw down the thirty pieces of silver In tno temple , and then went and hanged himself. In preface , the speaker nlludcd to the scientific fact of thoindcstructabillty of mat ter ; that whatever Is , continues forever to bo in some form. Ho carried this law into the spiritual world , inferring that the rc- sillts of sinful acts go on forever ; as moral forces are taken up oy our own and other lives nnd made p.irts in the irrcat moral con- llict going on in the world. This would bo a direful thing but for the fact that God con stantly wars against the evil and ultimately overcomes it. Mature bears everywhere the ravaues of decay and death , but out of it comes a greater beauty and a more symmetri cal life. So the sins of life nro , by natural moral laws , transmuted into the bcuutj nnd greatness of the truest character and noblest life. The question "How caif wo best trans mute the evil into good ! " led directly to the subject proper. Peer sinned in denying the Master. After thocrucltixlon , he went back to his llshing nets and became a truly repentant man. When Christ arose from the dead , Ho went directly to Peter , who was about his work , and asked him thrice the searching question , "Lovest thou Me } " Peter answered truly , "Loid , Thou knowest all tilings ; Ttiou knowest that I love Thee. " This sinful act of Peter had shown him as nothing clso could have done tbo sinful tendency in the natural heart of the unregenerate Peter. Henceforth ho could bettor see the dominant sin of his own heart , and by constant watching and prayer the better servo the Master. Judas was not repentant. Ho was filled with remorse. He did not struggle against the evil of his nature , hut allowed It to take full possession of him , and ho did the best thing possible when ho went and hanged himself. Had ho lived ho would have been n curse to the world , and his removal was for tunate , to say the least. Every man has sinned. He has taken Into his heart the seeds which. If allowed to re main , will fester and produce a sore which will cat out the good and make the man a moral wreck. Hopontanec will eradicate the evils and by this they will prove to have been a blessing to the man. The difference between repentance and re morse was developed at length. Remorse has no place In God's plan. It is not n sav ing element. The latch string of God's house is always out , and whosoever will may como. If we have been great sinners in the past , como to God by repentance. Do not brood over the sins committed , but go out with a strong faith and purpose and make a noble character , which shall win tlio appro val of God and everlasting life beyond the grave. Use the sins wo may liavo commit ted as stepping stones to a higher and bettor living. God looks at the motive which actu ates tno deed rather than nt the deed itself. If the motive bo right the sanction of heaven rests upon us. Money loaned on fuinituro , pianos , diamonds , horses , buggies or anything of value at low rates of interest.

It teacher catches you doing that , you'll gut dumped into No. 13. " The response of the boy to whom the re mark was made , Indicated that "No. 13" was looked upon as a place of terror. Further investigation led to the revolution that the lads use "No. 13" as a terrible warning , and apparently do so us an echo of thn warning given thorn by the older persons , apparently their teachers. What is No. 131 It is not such n place of torture ns ono might Imagine. It is simply the number of a school room , where are gathered these pupils who have disobeyed rules , or laid themselves liable to severe punishment. "Wo have done with practically away cor poral punishment in the graded schools , " re marked Prof. MuNaughton. "When a boyer or girl so far transgresses UK to necessitate such punishment , we send them to a room in the Atkins building , known ns No. 1 ! ) , where Mr. Armstrong Is the teacher. Tbo naino of the toucher senuiod highly appropriate. "What Is It ? A sort of reform school ? " "Now you'll bo stating it in the paper too strong If I aay much about it. The simple Idea U thut instead of having corporal pun ishment in the several schools , wo can re lieve teachers and accomplish hotter results by sending such refractory pupils to one com mon room , There are about n doz n pupils there now , arid they are behaving nicely , I don't think there has been a case of corporal punishment m this room since wo started It , " Those pupils nro kept by tliemselvea , and certain restrictions are thrown about them. They do not have recess privileges in com mon with the other pupils. It scorns to have a wholesome effect upon the pupils In other romns , and the dread of being sent to No. 13 , although more In the expectation than the realization , prevents many overt acts. Dis cipline Is maintained in other rooms bv other punishments for light offenses , but "No. 13" takes the place of the rod and the spanker. Have our wagon call ( or your coiled clothes. Cascade Laundry Co. Not Doutl , nut Slccplnir , Nothing has boon hoard of the union depot project for some tlmo , and a little apprehen sion U felt lost it may bo dying a natural dorth , The money to purchase the grounds was all subscribed several weeks ago , ana It was then given out that the new building would bo eroctea in a hurry , but since that time the matter seeiue to have boon resting very quietly , it U claimed that there is no nerlous hitch , but that certain details which will have to bo arranged before the work of putting up the now structure Is commenced , Is causing the present delay. The opinions of the railroad ofnclals differ widely concerning the result. Some express confidence that the depot will bo built , but the majority guard their remarks with so many "ifs" nnd "uuts" tlmUhclr views are considerably tangled up , oven If they have nny definite Idea. They can easily tell what "our company" proposes to do lit case each , of the other roads will do so-ftnd-so , but have nothing to say ns to why the work does not go ahead. As nearly as can bo learned the situation Is practically unchanged in the past few months. The otllclals of eastern lines nil profess n desire to see n new union depot near the center of the city , but stale that connec tions must bo made with the Union Pud lie. If the latter company will como Into the scheme nnd help build the now structure , nil wnll nnd good ; but if It prefers to maintain Its present location nt the transfer , the other roads will not go Into n union depot project and pay heavy rentals ut the transfer nt the came tlmo. In that case they would prefer to build local depots , ni they urge that there Is no object in having two union depots nnd run to both of them. The matter seems to hinge nn the Union Pacific , but no move Is being made nnd no negotiations have been had with that co in puny. The com miltco Rcenis to be resting , nnd the sub- ' Bcriber who has pledged his money is won dering when , If ever , ho will bo called upon to contribute his shard. The question of grounds is practically settled , but the nssur- nnco given some tlrao nco , that when the grounds were secured the principal part of tlio work was done , docs not seem to bo based on n very cccure foundation. * Snow FlnkuH at Mnnnwn , The nlr nt the Mnnnwn Athletic park was full of snow llnkcs , yesterday afternoon , nnd they How around the beaten path of the base ball diamond In u manner truly astonishing.

The game stood 11 to 6 in favor of the Snow Flakes at the end of the sixth inning , nnd so continued until the ninth , when the Union Parities rolled up five more runs , but the lend was too much for them and they could not overcome It.

My grandfather , after many years successful practice us a medical man , retired to a quiet residence in South Kensington , where ho was free to in dulge his taste for everything pleasant in literature , music and botanical in vestigation , says a writer in the Boston Globo. Every Now Year's eve it was his custom to invite the low members of his family , nnd half a do/.cn true and tried friends to dine with him , to watch the old year out , and welcome the advent of the now. Ten years ago , that is in the year 1878 , wo all stood round his dining- table , hand clasped in hand , waiting the first stroke of the midnight chimes , As the last sound died away , my grand father's mellow voice started the famil iar "Should Auld Acquaintance DO For got , " and it must , bo admitted that wo all mudo n tolerable noiboin the chorus The last guest had departed ; the ladies had retired , and the half dozen of us who were privileged to stay all night drew our chairs to the side of the table nearest the lire. "Ono more cigar , " said my grandfather , "ana another small brow of my old student punch. " The fragrant liquor was ladled into our glasses and pronounced to bo excel lent. "Now , who will tell us ono good btory before wo go to roostV" somebody inquired ; "fiction or truth , no matter which. " "No fiction can bo stranger than truth. Only look at the trial in the probate - bate court yesterday , reported in to day's Times , A young follow , moving in very good society , mysteriously dit > - appoarcd two years ago. His clothes were found on the sands , his family went into mourning , and his mother died of grief. TIe had insured his life in two olllccs , and the money was paid to his father. Now the sneak has turned up in San Francisco , and by order of Sir James Hnnnon tlio money has to bo returned. It's my belief that all thcso mysterious disappearances are swindles and impositions. " " of thorn . " "Many nro. undoubtedly , said my grandfather. "I have known several very strange disappearances in my time , Some people have a morbid vanity intent on creating n sensation. They hide in some obscure street or re mote village , nnd their delight is to got the newspapers and read the appeals made to them in the agony columns. All mysterious disappearances are not however , frauds I know of ono very early in my life , which shook my norvo.s for years. I have never yet recorded the facts , tearing to give pain to survivors. It is now more than forty years ago , and those who might have de tected the leading character in ray story have long been dead. " "It was in the year of the Queen's coronation , and London was full of visitors , who hud como up from the country to enjoy the festivities and wit ness the illuminations. A gentleman in the vigor of middle ago , the vicar of n rich Yorkshire living , arrived with his wife and two daughters in London , and engaged n suite of rooms at the excellent old hotel now known as Woods' , in Furnival'g Inn , The even ing was advanced when the coach sot them down in Ilolborn , tired and very hungry. They cllnoJ nt 8 o'clock , and the Indies retired after coffee lit about 10 o'clpck. The vicar enjoyed a glass of good port wino as much as any man , and ho boon found out that the butler of the hotel know how to suit his pnlato excel lently well. Ho sat up a little later to finish the bottle : to finish what was afterwards admitted to be his bocond bottle. That , however , was only moderate drinking forty yours ago. In the morning the lady and her daugh ters met at the breakfast room at 0 o'clock , and tlio waiter was requested to-let the vicar kn'ow that brcukfabt was on the table. The waiter did not know the vicar's room. 'Ask the chambermaid,1 said the lady. 'My husband know wo were nil fatigued with the journey last night and did not wish to disturb my rest. The chambermaid will know the num ber of his room.1 iTho chambermaid was summoned. JSlio had never soon the reverend gcrlttemnn ; she did not know him. The snmQ ( answer was given by the whole staff t'chambermalds. It was clear that tho-vicar had not slept in tlio house"ni air. 'The ' distress ot the ladies can only be imagined. The kindest bt husbands , the most loving of fathers , nnd justly proud of his accomplished nnd charm ing daughters what evil had befnllon hlmV livery room was searched , ns the ofllrlalB of the establishment , looking at the matter with the cool deliberation of some past experience , thought it pos sible that suicide'or sudden illness might explain the mystery. "In the meantime the head boots had made itn extraordinary communication to the manager of the holol. About 1 o'clock on that morning ho had soon n person leave the side door of the house , a man very shabbily dressed unA wear ing a gray cloth traveling cap. IIo was \vnlIcing' somewhat unsteadily across the square , when boots stepped him nnd turned him back , suspecting that ho might have robbed the hotel or some ot the inmates. To his astonishment ho found that the apparent stranger was the gentleman wno hud arrived with his family that , evening. The vicar was highly amused nt being suspected of potty larceny and explained that it \vt\a always his custom when in town to change his clerical dress and visit the Strand and llnymarkot nnd Picca dilly , so that ho might see Ijfo in Lon don as it was , both high and low. IIo begged the boots to say nothing to the rest of the servants , and bout him to the bar for two glasses of brandy'and water. The boots then wont with him to the Ilolborn iron gates to guarantee his respectability to the beadle ; other wise , from his shabby appearance , the janitor might have refused him read- mission. The vicar then crossed the road in the direction of Chancery lane , saying that he should bo back not later than II o'clock. This would not incon venience anybody , ns the boots and watchman were always up nil night. "On the portmanteau of the missing man being examined it was found that he had not only loft in a dressing room his suit of black broadcloth , ha'tand gni- tors , but that he had changed his linen "before leaving the hotel , and it was supposed had procured nnd was wearing underclothing which was without any mark by which it could bo recognized. " For days and oven weeks the search was continued. Every drowned body floated in the Thamus or left by the tide was closely ovamined. The Bow street runners , prompted by the offer of a largo reward , were imlcfntigablo in their industry. Inquiries at the emigrant ports wcro as futile as advor- tisomontsin the Times. The man was as completely lost as if the earth had silently swallowed him. " * ' "Tlio art of photography was then in its infancy , and iho vicar had been mibsing bevcral days before any portrait trait of him had been issued. Then an idea was expressed that as he had al ready had one npolbic stroke ho might have had a seizure in the street and been conveyed to some hospital in a paralyzed condition- , , drawing was then made from a full length oil portrait trait which haof been presented to the vicar by his parishioners , and this being engraved was'sent to all the hos pitals , to the police stations in tiic town and to many in. the country , and to various places ol public resort. The likeness represented him nsn tall , well- proportioned man , dresscd as a digni tary of the churchj with low-crowned hat and black gaiters. Ho had a florid complexion , a largo aquiline nose and piercing black eyes ; Jiis hair slightly tinged with grey. " "While nil this was occurring at the hotel in Purnival's inn , I was a student at St. Thomas hospital , then opposite Guy's , in the borough. My principal study was in the dissecting room , ns it was my ambition to become a candidate for the gold anatomical medal. Ono morning I found a fresh 'subject' on the table , so well developed and presenting such a splendid specimen for nice dis section , that the students eagerly claimed the various parts of the body for which their names wcro entered in the porter's register. The demonstra tor in anatomy informed mo that the head and neck of the subject were re quired for the public lecture , and in trusted mo with the onerous duty of dis secting these regions for the class. The skull , I found , haa already been opened and the brain removed. By this I know that the corpse had not como from any convict nrition , or workhouse , but from the 'dead houbo' in the hospital. On inquiry I was informed that the man had been brought to the hospital by the police at G o'clock in the morning from a house of the lowest description in the Waterloo lee road. Ho was totally insensible , and died in the course of an hour ; the causa of death having been found , on a post-mortem examination , to be an enormous clot of blood from rupture of an artery at the base" of the bnin. The usual rules under such circumstances had been fully complied with. A notice of the death of an unknown man had been placed on the hospital boards , and friends and relations requested to claim the body. Three days hi'ving elapsed without' any claim being made , tlio corpse , according to law and custom , had been convoyed to the dissecting room. "The next morning the naked subject was on the table of the anatomical theater , and tlio lecture commenced. As the lecturer proceeded ho hesitated , paused once or twice , and scorned strangely embarrassed. A fooling of uneasiness also nro vailed in the class. If any man 'have any fooling of his busi ness nnd can sing at grave-making,1 it is the medical student ; but my hand trembled as I had occasionally to move the slab of the revolving table in order tote to got a stronger light. It was the dead man's eyes tljiit unnerved us all. They were wide oped , black bright and staring , nnd. witu'tho face half dis sected , the eyes seemed alive. 'Good God , ' said the lecturer , 'can't you close the man's eyes ? No , throw a cloth ovortliom.No gentlemen , we'll resume the lecture , ' tp-morrow. ' "That night I had to work Into in the dissecting room the anatomy of the head and nock requjring care and nkill , especially when intended for exhibi tion before the optical inspection of rival follow students , It was nearly 11 o'clock nnd I was quite alone , dissect ing by the light of/Hii oil lamp placed on the breast of the t'orpso. ] had with difficulty drawn thoi-eyelids down , and kept them closed with a piece of shoot load. A dozen bodiits , in various stages of dissection nnd decomposition , were on tables around the room , thrown into fitful shadows by the dim glare of my solitary lamp. I hud worknd in this way ninny a night before , and the thought of fearhad novoronco occurred to mo , Now I was in , nn unaccountable state of tremor and agitation , my heart's action intermitted und labored under an enormous pressure. The night was wnrmbut u cold ajtmosphoro seemed to surround my frame , I shook ns with nn ague. Ojico or twlco I glanced round. I fult that I was not alone ; that some awful presence was not far distant. I could boar it no longer. 'This la cow ardice and nonsense , ' I Raid aloud , and closed my dAsecting o * 6 with a loud snap in order to recall und reasuro my courage. At that moment I heard a deep uigh , u groan close to my car. Then n form became gradually defined before my eyes , standing at the head of the tablo. A tall , black phantom of n man , the same gray hairtho same face , the piercing eyes closely regarding tlio Inco of the dead. Merciful Godl the spirit bonding over his own disfigured corpsol' ' "I remember nothing more. The porter found mo insensible on the floor when ho came n few minutes later to lock up the rooms. They put ma to bed in the hospital nnd , ns no ono could understand my incoherent ravings , the house surgeon kindly gave mo n full dose of nn opiate , which happily pro cured for mo profound slcou , nnd I nwokc , tranquil in mind , but with a vivid recollection of every incident. I was sent into the country for some weeks. I saw the corpse no more , but there is n skeleton , white as polished ivory , and beautifully articulated , now standing lit the hospital museum , which is all that remains , and worthily repre sents tlio handsome Yorkshire vicar. " "Did his family over know what had become of him ? " "Never. Who could toll them but myself 'f Afterwards I paw his oortrait in shop windows nil over London the portrait , of the clergyman who had bo mysteriously disappeared. What would have been the use ot my tolling the shameful story ? And then the proof would have been dilllcult. Tlio man who died had no immo in the hospital records. And instead of allaying the anxinty of his family and friends I should have made matters worse. They would have exhumed the eollln sup posed to contain his mortal remains , and found nothing but cinders and the sweeping of the dissecting room. " SPECIAL NOTICES.
