The cleverest sparring exhibition ever wit nessed in Omaha , was that which occurred before the Gate City Athlotlo club last ovun- ing between Jack Darts , of Denver , and Jack Itynu , of St. Paul. Preliminary to this the premier event on the bill , Jimmy Lind' ' say nnd a novice known as Young Gordon , moused the ciowd for thrco rounds. Gordon was but n toy in Jimmy's ' hands , and , was much gratified when the stipulated time had expired. Lindsay is certainly showing up f in great form , nnd evinces Vast improvement in BCCIICO and hitting ability every time ho nIL stops iuto the ring. t At HK ! ) Davis and Ryan crawled through IL the ropes and were creeled by a vigorous hand clapping. They in e a couple of heavy weights , nnd In the vernacular of the ring , a \ \ * pair ot "corkers. " Davis hud the advantage of his opponent by about ten or lifteea iiounds , though the lesser man gave a superb exhibition of the Dolsurtian movement , being as quick and agile and as ready to take advantage of nn oponiug'as nny top-notchcr in the land. Davis has as yotnevor been do- leated , and ho has had some great flghts , whipping John P. Clew twice , and lighting Joe Lunuon to a draw. Kynn , two , has hail some tough mills , and recently knocked Paddy McCormiek stiff after a long nnd tre mendous battle near Denver. Ho Also bested t JIm Fell , nnd has mot several other pugilistic fttars of greater or lesser note. The set-to last nigl.tyas such as to elicit tbo warmest expressions of approval from all who witnessed it , und among the spectatots - were a couple of police sergeants and several roundsmen , ana although the bout was of a i-higtily tropical character from the opening * smash to the wind-up , they saw nothing to mi warrant oflluiul interference nnd left the hall , in the ocliof that such exhibitions of science , skill and endurance can have none other than a beneficial effect upon all manly men. f Manager Kilkenny at the close of the enter- - talamcnt announced that Davis aad a St. Louis unknown would spar fifteen rounds for scientific points before the club Friday evening. There was much talk among the spectators nnd club men during the evening ( about getting on n "go" between Da\'is and Pat Killcn In tno near futuic. The prevail ing opinion was that should tboy come to gether the Duluth slasher would emerge from tlio fray crowned with similar lauiols to those which ho won from Joe MeAuliffo before the San Francisco Athletic club some four weeks ago.

Milt Barlow must certainly bo congratu lated upon having mudo such a brilliant suc cess in comedy. It is very seldom that n comcdlait who has always been connected with a mlnstrol company makc n success in in whiteface , and under these circumstances Mr. Barlow deserves a great deal of credit for his performance of Gubrlol Caricol in the comedy "Thrco Wives to Ono Husband,1' ' as presented last evening at the Grand opera houso. The play , adapted by Colonel Mil- liken , Is certainly very bright , and , although thn company prcBontlug it Is in some rcpccts very weak , it Kept the largo audicnco iu ver.V coed humor from boginr.ing to end. Mr. Wilbcr may do well in changing Miss Cnrrlo JwOwis us soon as possible , as the lady is by no moans capable of playing the part of Kuphomla Huttcraby , and tliero uro ono or two moro weak impersonations in the com pany , and when such Improvements are made Mr. Wllbor can boast of havlug ono of the cleverest comedy companies on the road. As said before , Mr. Darlow can only bo con gratulated upon his success , and Miss ILllio Hall , the ( inarming wife of Mr. Uarlow , shares the honors with the star In every re spect.

Thomas Hutlcdgea negro , was brought to the police station last night with an ugly cut on his head , inflicted , as ho says , by an other colored man named John lialloy.

Sli Many enquiries Imvo boon made of mo concerning Senator Hutchison's legislative record on the transportation question , i presume the rec ord as published In the papeps , purporting to bo n copy of the house and donate journals , Is correct. I deem , however , bis record of the past , as compared with his present views anil opinions , of small importance In deed. This question , like all grout public questions , should bo viewed und acted upon In the light of tha present , and not from the standpoint of the past. Senator Hutchison consulted with mo frequently during the session , of the last general assembly when this question was under discussion , atull know that ho labored hard xo secure tha adoption of the beat features of our present law. Ho has , since the adjournment of the general assembly , often expressed to mo his approbation of the action of our commlsslonerH , unit has repeat edly assured mo that ho considered the rates flxcd by thoui reasonable and compensatory. Senator Hutchison is nn able , high- minded , conscientious man , und I have per fect faith und conlldonco in him. If elected governor , I believe ho will BO nottvo nnd energetic in his efforts to enforce this law , ns well as any other , in letter and in spirit , and that there will bo no swinging back of the pendulcm with his consent. He is sound on the temperance , as bo is on the transpor tation question , and will never consent to the proposition to open saloons in any ana every township in the atute. We cannot ovor-cstl- niato the importnnco of sustaining this law in its fullest Integrity. The senator's per sonal qualities and his views on political questions will undoubtedly make him an ad mirable chief for this state. WILLIAM L utit UIEE. Hutchison null the Kiilrrmil : . Sioux CITT , la , Obt. 2U tSpoclal Tele gram to THE BEE. | A letter written by Senator J. G. Hutchison , republican candi date for governor , July 23 , 1S3S , will bo printed for the first time , to-morrow. It is a most effective refutation of the assaults upon his record regarding state control of railroad corporations. The letter Is a pri vate one , written to Dr. Charles Ueardsloy , then chairman of tbo republican state com mittee , long before Sanator Hutchison thought of. becoming a c indicia to for gov ernor. In the letter ho alluded to "The fool ish , untimely nnd uncallod-for , war which the railroad companies nro making on the railroad low , " and ho reviewed the Inside history of the passage of the railroad laws at the proviqus session of the legis- .nturo. In conclusion he saUl : "It is well known that some of us worJcod night and day to avoid the shoals ; to learn , if ixmlblc , what was the true 'middle ground , the right thing to do as between the railroad companies arid the people. By our.pUrsuing that course I'aui satisfied wo secured the present railroad law , and I believe it is the honest duty of every good citwon to stand up for it. I feel quite sure the courts will tnlto proper care of the law. It is the best state railroad law In the United States. I amiiroud of the law , nnd think the railroad companies will in titno learn that thcro is one state in the union which proposes to bo sovereign in those mat ters , and that the railroad companies shall not be. Our state convention will soon take place , and while I have so much pride in the honorable position \vo maintam.'ns a state , I hone level-headed men will not permit a reso lution on the railroad question that'will look like backing down , " This letter was written a few days before the republican state convention of last year , at which Senator Hutchison was chairman of tha resolutions committee , nnd reported the most radical anti-monopoly platform over adopted in lowu. The letter is more signifi cant because not Intended for publication , nnd bccausn it so completely meats the charges of Mr. Asnby , who claims to bo aec- ictary of the Farmers' alliance.

Curious Mechanical Device a nil How It Is Made unit Op rnrcs. The Messrs. Sohwob have just brought out quito n Bingiilur watch , the first Boeciincn of which has boon exam ined by us , und which will cortuinly puzzle moro than ono curious person , Bays La Nature. Everyone now knows these mysterious clocks that ( Hill aston ish the masses. A transparent glass dial , suspended with two wires , nnd pro vided with hands , nnd there we have u clock that tolls the time. No mechan ism , no transmission , nothing , nnd yet the clock moves to the minute. Tho. watch belongs to the category of mysterious devices ; but it is bond ; does not require to bo hungporpc-ndiculiirly , nnd operates with regularity in all po sitions. It is , so to spouk , a mvstorSous pocket "clock. " A glass dial is sot into u bevel in a silver rim , and two hnudo move , ns if l > v magic , over the transparent glass without the least apparent transmission of motion. The view through the gluss Is unobstructed , and a person can road his newspaper through thq dial. Behind the dllll wo find a glass disk , which is not ibucod when the watch is closed , and boliihd thin there is a glass. The axis of thd , hands traverses the me dium disk , tqv.hich } it is llxod. and rests one fiido on the font or of the dial , and , on the other,1. oi the center of the glass. It is not UillUHilt to see that the hands revolve , borWisU'tho ' medium disk itsoll revolves. But' whence does it de rive its motidi } ) ? , At the upper part of the watch , j lioar the stem , the case formaria crescent , nnd in this , notwithstanding the reduced space , It has been possible to find room for nn entire ordinary ixntch movement. Now , the mo/Wmo median dislc is pro vided , nt j a , /circumference / , with a toothed mat Ujtt ring. The tooth of this engage "with these ol a pinion of the movement concealed in the crosj cent. Of course , wo do not see the toothed circumference of the disk con cealed Dohind the prolonged horns of the crescent ; and wo do not oven sus pect the existence ol the central glass dislc , the motions of which take place unporcoivcd. So that u person who is ignorant of the artifice that wo have just pointed out does not under-1 stand how the hands can move over tha dial , Tlio minute hand causes the di rect revolution of the hour hand by means of microscopic gearings CQJI- coaled under the interior support of the hands.

An Interesting Pnrnllcl In tlio Devel opment or thp City by ttio ' tmkc Some Points for Rast er 11 Cniiitntlntg. A Wnmlcr of the West. , Mr. E. F. Test writes of Omahn hi the Boston Advertiser ns follows : To write of Omaha and the west is to glvo the history ot the foundation of ft beautiful city and the conquest of nn imperial domain by indomitable enter prise nnd energy. Twenty-two years ngo , when the writer saw Omaha for the llrat time , it was a. struggling , ambitious little community of about C,000 souls , in the midst of a "boom , " of unparalleled vigor , through the building of the Union Pacific railroad. Ill on came here in shoals , and moro than once the daily papers complained that sixteen men were too many to lodge in ono room over night. The old llwndon house , now the Union Pacific headquar ters building , gi-cntly enlarged , was the principal hotel , and it towered like n sentinel over the Infant city. Looking at the history of Omaha for the past twenty-two years , ono can scarcely believe its reality , so wonder ful has been the change. It has but ono parallel , and that is Chicago , and their relative percentage of growth has been nearly the same. In 1830 Chicago had 30.001) people ; in 1800 it had 180.000. In 18feO Omaha had iiO.OOO and in 1890 will Imvo 130,000. From 1SGO to 1870 the growth of Chicago was 800 per cent. From 1880 to 1890 that of Omaha will OTfr. With the annexation of South Omaha nnd other suburbs it will bo 3SOJ. This surpasses Chicago in that period. In 1800 Illinois had a pop ulation of 1,711,051.n growth of 1,2)5,778 ; ) in twenty years. In 1800 , or at present , the population of Nebraska- about 1.300,000 , nn increase of 1,271,000 since 1800. This may in part explain the growth of Omaha and Chicago in the periods named , as that of the two states is EO nearly parallel. As Chicago came from a swamp , Omaha came from the head of the Great Amcl'lcnn Desert , which has since been transformed into a region of unsur- pas-jcd fertility , where "corn is king" and his subjects the "bovino and swine , " flouHbh in abundance nnd con tentment. While Chicago nourished by the development of the great btatcs around her. the same process is going on around Omaha. Twenty-live years ago there was nothing here ; now great trunk lines tadiato in every direction. Two bridges span the river connecting Omaha and Council Bluffs , and there is a vigorous demand for two more to moot the growing trade and travel between the cities. Wo had no coal to speak of then ; a few years afterwards a young man , Edward C. McSlmiic , a brother of ox-Cougresb- mjiu 3\lcShiine \ , solved that problem by his discoveries at llock Creek and Car bon , -Wyo. lie also solved the fuel problem for the Union Pacific at the same time. In 1SCO the great live stock industry of the plains was u thing of the future. The buffalo roamed atill in Countless thousands. It was bc- Ijovod cattle could not winter on the plains. When building the overland telegraph line the late Edward Croigh- ton had occasion to abandon one of his trains that year at or near Fort Bridgor for the winter , expecting to BOO the cat tle no moro. Judge of his surprise to find them fat and in good condition on his'i-oturn the following spring ; ho ex pected to see nothing but their bones ; ho had given them over to starvation nnd the wolves. This was the germ of the cattle growing industry on the plains. In 1870 one or two visionaries ( i1) ) and several practical" men of Omaha got their heads together , resulting in the erection of an establishment many wibc- acrcs predicted would close disastrously within six months. That was nearly twenty years ago , and it is running yet , ' the largest in the world , of its kind the Omaha Smelting works. I do not remember the names of the "visionar ies" ( V ) , but C. W. Mead and C. B. Rus- tin wore among the practical men who founded this great industrial insti tution in Omaha. Happening into ' the Omaha National ba'nlc one day , an occasional contributor to the press found the late Efon. Ezra Millard ( as good a man as over lived ) and his brother busy studying over an illus trated paper. Mr. Millard suggested a similar establishment for Omaha , and urged the contributor to agitate it pub licly. Glad of the clianco the press took hold , and from that time , in nnd out of season , Mr. Millard devoted his best clTorts to the work. The illustration was a picture of the Kansas City block yards. After trouble and years the stock yards were built at South Omaha , through the eiTorts of Alex Swan , L. M. Andorbon , W. A. Paxton , ex-Congress man McShano and others , resulting in a bustling city of 11,000 people , doing millions of trade annually , and ranking rta the third greatest packing center in the world. Thus , while Chicago fpossobscs great advantages in the hike route , Omaha is admirably Hituntcd , viz. , in the corn bolt , with 79 per cent of Nebraska land n6w in farms , and of the whole state only 8 per cent is non-productive , out of n total of over 70,000 square miles ; in the live stock bolt , and on the threshold of the great mining regions , of which two ns yet undeveloped indus tries are equivalent to an additional population of 2.000,000 to this city the Wyoming coal oil regions ana the Da kota tin mines. Like other cities , Omaha has had its ups and downs in real estate. Many are the fortunes that huvo been made , nnd hovoral pages might bo devoted tea a narration of these. There is a good deal of Boston capital invested here , in buildings nnd foal estate , and I am faur- priscd there is not moro. Thus while Chicago is "booming" this year , and Boston capitalists are seeking realty in vestments there on a " 10 per cent valu ation" and can got nothing over 5 , in Omahn our best investments can bo had on o 14 and 10 per cent valuation. Prominent among the Boston investors in this city uro Frederick L. Amos , B. F. Smith , Frank Smith and othord whoso names I cannot recall. There IH a big llo'id wide open hero foe manufactories of urtlclos indignoous to Iho soil , und I am again surprised Unit the Now England capitalists and manufacturers have not availed them selves of the opportunity years ngo. These are about everything connected with unhiill products , woolen mills and agricultural Industrie ? too numerous to mention in detail. The Market For Vat Women. A year ago there were cloven prize fat women on exhibition in this country , but now there uro only blx. The others have gene the way of all flesh , whether fat or lean , and will bo Been on earth nq more. The fat woman market is now firm , with an upward tendency. HE WHIPPED A GRIZZLY' OI'noral Ciook Kotnrnfl From n limit- Inir THjv n the West. Major General Crook returned yester day morning from n month's roughing It in the bnd lands , savs the Chicago Tribune. The general had boon bear hunting , and when the crowd nt the Grand Pacllle , whcro ho lives , saw Hint ho hnd'n long , ragged 'scratch on the side of his nose , it was whispered thnt the wound had boon sustained in n hand to hand fight with a grizzly. Sam Par ker told Colonel Babcock about nooti that General Crook was frightfully m.tnglod , nnd had sent for n pair of crutches. Dnrlug the afternoon Clerk "WHloy gave out what purported lo bo the only authentic story , which was to this otfcct. After traveling for three dnvs nnd three nights on the trail of iv boar weighing 000 pounds , the general had come up with the ferocious boast. IIo llrod two bullota into the bear , ami then , throwing away his Winchester , closed with n bowie knife. To his sur prise the boar got up on its hind logs and struck out from the shoulder , punching Iho goni'ral in the nose and Knocking him. down. "If thnl'a your game I'll play , " the general was al leged to have said , accompanying the remark by hurling his bowlo 'ton feet away. Having learned boxing nt "Wast Point , ho greatly overmatched his an tagonist , yavo him the knockout blow in ton minutes anfl forty seconds , slit the boar's throat , and dragged the bleeding carcass into camp. Tlio story stood till 7 o'clock , when General Crook rnmo down smiling from dinner and said ho had hurt his nose getting into a cab tit the Northwestern depot. "I was bcar-huntlngi though , " the general said : "For month our party nnd I were In camp , und wosuwonly one white man. Wo traveled on the Northwestern to Cnspor which is as far as the railroad runs and then struck by stage into the hoar tot the bad lands. If you haven't been in that coun try you have no conception what it looks like mud hills , alkali nnd lignite on the levels , coyotes and rattlesnakes , altogether Godforsaken. But such gamol The English hunters who kill for the sake of killing have almost stripped the country of elk as they stripped the plains of buf falo. Wo saw only ono oik while \\o were there , but there were deer and antelopes in nbnnilanco. Wo killed only enough of thorn to satisfy our ap petites. Wo wore after bigger game , and gri/7ly bear in big enough for any one. Wo nailed four clurhlg our stay , and they were big fellows. Of course , all these stories about 1,000-pound bears tire nonsotiso. A grizzly which weighs 250 or 800 pounds is ns big as you get 'em or want 'cm. Sizes larger than that I leave for other people to kill. I don't want to have nny hnnd-to-hand lights with them , no matter how small they are. Why , sir , I laugh when I read about wrestling matches with behrs. An ordinary grizzly boar would smash every bone in yonr body with ono blow of his paw. Ho could make his teeth meet through the thickest part of your body. The nearest I over got to ono was about ton loot. I had chased him and ho was tired of running away. IIo stopped , sat up ton his haunches and yawned savagely at mo. I fired a load of shot down his throat and ho never knew what hit him. The narrowest es cape any of us had was from a rattle snake which dropped his ugly head from an overhanging rock down within six inches of ono of the party's face. The young follow got away in a hurry. " General Crooks says the Indians have settled down for good , dud there is little fear or them. "How about Sitting Bull ? " ho was asked. "Sitting Rull ! " the general replied contompton&ly. "Ho doesn't amount to anything. He never did. Ho has a reputation like some of the generals in the war made on piper. Ho never stood high among the Indians. Spotted Tail wan a thousand times as able. It's a pity his sons don't take after him. They're a wishy-washy lot. Silting Bull ran away from Little Bipr Horn , but the newspapers took him up and made a big fellow of him. Why , ho has had half a dozen oirers of mar riage from the states , and ono woman went up in the northwest to propose to him. Ot course , this reputation helped him among the Indians. Any man can make an Indian do mischief , and few persons can make him do good. While the Indians were all signing the treaty ho broke into the circle and demanded the privilege of speaking. " 'You should have come here at the right time , ' I told him. You misbod your clianco and can't talk now. ' He was fairly wilted , but pretty soon ho wont outside and began yelling. Thnt Blurted a stampede , and the circle broke u ) > , but when the Indians saw who was making the noise they returned nnd wont on signing , and Sitting Bull moved into the country with his bund. Ho is no good atull. His influence is gone , and the Indians will never bo aroused to bloodshed again unless the agents try to starve thorn to death , as they have done before.
