It In reported thn.t the Iowa State band , which went to San Francisco ubout a month ago with the expectation of furnishing music for the westerners throughout the Midwinter fair , may be looked for bnck home In the course of a few days. The band Is composed almost entirely of non-union nu-mburs , and the reason for their unexpected stop IR paid to bo the opposition they received from the unionists In San Francisco. The man who was arrested In South Omaha a day or two ago for hiring rigs and sending them back to the owner In charge of other persons and without any money , Is believed by the police to b'j Charles Siiyilcr , who was not long ago discharged by fho district court < ; raml jury , although ho had played several such tricks here. Less than twenty-four hours after ho was turned loose ho went to a stable on North Second street and hired a rig. and after going to Omaha with It sent It back by a small boy. That was the last heard of him. There Is a manhole covering at the In tersection of Main street and Broadway , which Is likely to cause some serious dam age unless It la looked after. It projects above the surface of the pavement , and the smooth metal , covered as now with n coat ing of snow or Ice , becomes very slippery. Yesterday a man who was crossing the street slipped and fell with his neck across the motor rail. Fortunately there was no motor train coming , or he might have been seriously hurt , If not killed. Hardly a day passes without some one having to get up from a very undignified position in the Etreet and limp away. _ Favorable inducements will be offered tea a few reliable and energetic agents who will solicit for the Mutual Life Insurance com pany.

Among the cases decided by the state supreme premo court Thursday was that of the Citi zens' State tank of St. Louis against John T. ' Stewart of this city. The property Involved was a twenty-acre tract of land located Just south of Falrmount park , which was for merly owned Jointly by Stewart and Thomas A. Walker. After Walker became Insolvent the bank bought his halt from the holder of the sheriff's deed , while Stewart secured the same half by an action In partition. The bank thereupon commenced suit against Stewart , alleging fraud , Stewart claiming in defense that the petition In the suit which dually gave the bank Its title did not de scribe the land in controversy , so that lie was not charged with notice. The petition Itself was lost. On trial in the district court of this county Stewart was given a Judg ment. Flincklnger Bros. , who represented the bank , thereupon appealed the case to the supreme court and the decision of the lower court Is now reversed and the bank Is " fclven possession of the land. The value of the property In controversy is estimated well up In the thousands. A big consignment of the finest urll paper Just received ; it Milter's , i.j Ftrrl Etreet. from 4 eta. a roll upn-ardj.

No wind blew and there was consequently quently no drifts , or travel would have been interfered with much more than It was. The motor trains running between Omaha and Council Bluffs were considerably de layed during the early part of the day. Many of the streets in the city which are plenti fully supplied with shade trees looked like pictures from fairy land , and Bayllss park , particularly , formed a charming sight , with the limbs arching over the walks and each oni carrying a heavy load of snow that al < must broke It dawn , making the whole scene look as If It had been struck to marble dur ing the night. Kodaks were frequently seen in the hands of enthusiastic amateurs who were anxious to get views of their homos be fore the scenes faded away , No medicine on earth can make a new man from a wreck composed of skin and bones , devoid of nerve force and vitality , but the Sweetland remedies can come nearer accomplishing it than anything else known to medical science.

Mention of tlila was made sev eral weeks ago , when the gentlemen above referred to presented their claim to the Hoard of Supervisors only to have It rejected.

BOARD OF HEALTH. Immediately after adjournment the council met as a Board of Health , to toke action with reference to the notice recently sent out by the State Board of Health to the local boards all over the itnto , directing that Immediate action be taken to see that all who cannot furnish good evidence of pro tection from smallpox bo required to bo vaccinated. There seemed to be uomo un certainty as to whether the state board had authority to compel the people lo be vac cinated , or to compel the county to pay physicians fees for vaccinating ' .hoso who cannot or will not pay their own d > uti rr. It was accordingly decided that tl.o clerk should write to Des Molnes an-1 llml what had been done by the Board of Health of tnat city , In ordct that tin Inard bo.-o i light have a pi'do to Its f'r.'ire ' net inn. City Physician Macrae called the attention of the board to the difficulty of getting store keepers to nil the orders of these under Quarantine with precision. "Ono of the women ordered a can of cove oysters and got a can of peaches , " said he. "Another or dered a dozen lemons and got a clothesline , " and everybody laughed. Marshal Templeton explained that ho had been unable to get the oysters nnd sent peaches instead , but lie knew better than to think that anything ap proximating lemon pie could be made out of clothesline , and ho could not account for It being delivered excepting on the ground that It must have been taken to the wrong house by mistake. . Cook < Sot ViTdlct. The Jury In the case of Cook against Sncll , which was on trial In the district court , took It under advUement yesterday morning and after a short absence from the court room returned with a verdict for Cook , and fixed the amount of his damage at $30.

They have been con fined In the house ut the corner of Avenue G and Tenth street ever since the husband and father was taken , and It Is not at all to be wondered at that they should become the victims of the disease. The efforts of the city physician and the city authorities assisting him to keep the disease confined to this one house have so far been success ful and as thirteen days have now elapsed since the first case was reported there U little fear of a further outbreak. Ttiurecie t\\euty-ouo other cases of con- laglMi.1 diseases reported yesterday but nineteen of them were measles. The other two were Gucslc Vogeler , Seventh avenue and Eighth street , diphtheria , and Ora Hcmenovcr , 15I3 South Eighth street , scarlet fever. _ Mrntnt unit I'lij'lnil Wreck.

An Inciting Adti'iitiirn Itclutcd In Uooil Dlctlonur.v Words. Being easily exsuscltatcd , nnd an amnlco- llst fond of Incscatlng fish and broggllng , with nn Ineluctable desire for the nmolltlon of care , says a vrlter In St. Nicholas , I took a punt and descended the river In 'n snlthy gale. The water being smooth I felt I could venture with Incolumtty , as I was familiar with the obuncous river. Having broggled without result , I rowed toward an oyol Intending merely to cjuld- dle , when I suddenly saw n hackee. WishIng - Ing to capture him I decided .to circumnavi gate and take him unaware. Landing I denied myself where I could see the hackee deracinating grass. He discovered me and skugged behind.a tree , occasionally protrud- Ins his noil. ' Seizing a stick I awaited the caput.When the neb appeared I feagucd him. The hackee , which Is pedlmanous , tried to climb the bole. He seemed sheepish , and I suspected him of some mlchcry , especially as his cheeks seemed ampullaceous. I caught him by the tall and he skirled. Though he was sprack I held on with red- dour , and tried finally to sowle him. The hackee looked soyned and tried to scyle. I belabored him and ho cleped , making vigorous oppugnatlon , and evidently longing for divagation. Then a pirogue approached and an agrl- cultor landed. This distracted the hackeo and I sowled him , but dropped him because he scratched so. I vowed to exungulate him when caught. Borrowing a fazzolet , I tried to yend It over the hackee's head , as a moans of oc- ceatlon. The agrlcultor aided. He was not attractive , seeming crapulous and not unlike 9 picaroon. He had a alphunculatod dinner pall , which looked as If he had been batterIng - Ing It while pugging. But with a stick and some string he made a gin and tried to make the hackee blsson. ThlH caused I qulnchlng by the hackte , who seized the coadjutor's hallux , Thus exasperated , the agricultor captured the hackee without any nilgnlardlse ; but ho gloutcd over the bite , and his rage was not quaticd until the hackee was a llch. Carrying It to the punt , I sank Into a queachy spot which delayed me until the gule obnubilated the sky. While removing the pelage I found the llch somewhat olid because the swinker had feagued the hackee , and so I yended the llch away , went to market and supped upon a spltchcock and a hot bisk. LINCOLN'S MAIDEN SPEECH. It Wan Short and Simple anil Went Straight to the I'olnt. A citizen of Buffalo has found among his papers an account of the circumstances under which Abraham Lincoln made his maiden speech. It was originally printed In the Springfield (111. ( ) Republican , and Is as fol lows : "The president of the United States made his maiden speech In Sangamon county at Pappasvlllc ( or Rlchland ) in the year 1832. He was then a Whig and a candidate for the legislature of this state. His speech Is sharp and sensible. To understand why It was so short the following facts will show : (1) ( ) Mr. Lincoln was a young man , say 22 years of age , and timid. (2) ( ) His friends and oppo nents In the Joint discussions had rolled the sun nearly down. Lincoln saw it was not the proper time then to discuss the questions fully , and hence he cut his remarks short. Probably the other candidates had wholry exhausted the subjects under discussion. The time , according to W. H. Herndon's Informant who has kindly furnished this valuable reminiscence for us was 1832 ; It may have been 1831. The president lived at the time with James A. Hurdon , at Sa lem , Sangamon county , who heard the speech , talked about It , and knows the report to bo correct. The speech , which was char acteristic of the man , was as follows : ' "Gentlemen , Fellow Citizens : I presume you all know who I am. I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by my friends to become a candidate for the legislature. My" 'politics ' are short and sweet , like an "old woman's dance. " I am In favor of a national bank. I am In favor of the International Improvement sys tem and a high protective tariff. These are my sentiments and political principles. It elected I will be thankful. If defeated It will bo all the same. ' " AcqtilttcMl on the Third Trlul. CRAWFORDSVILLE , Ind. , Feb. 9.

The corridor door opened and In sprightly stepped a very pretty blonde with flowing golden hair. But that was not nil. In came another and then a well dressed , good lookIng - Ing man brought up the rear. They were n sight. Their clothes were torn , the women's hair disheveled , the man had lost his neck tie In the shuffic and his clothes looked the worse for the usage they had received. Tlje three were covered with mud from head to foot and the women walled loud and long for the sad ending of the night's pleasure. They gave their names as C. J. Worthlng- ton , Mrs. C. J. Worthlnston nnd Grace Ir vine. The cause of their grief was soon made known. In the early evening before the moon was up two young men and two young women decided to congregate for a genuine evening's pleasure. They would go to a dance , then to supper and by that time It would be Into and they would wind up the evening with sweet thoughts of how nicely U had been spent. But they went to the wrong place for the dance , at least It was the wrong place for them. Down nt Fritz Wlrth's there Is a dance In progress nightly , to which you may go without a glided Invitation. Thither they went nnd they ere having the nicest kind of a time. What was wanting on the danc ing program was supplied at the bar and they were getting along pretty well to that state which borders on the angelic when Mr. Worthliigton suddenly dlscotcrcd he had lost or had ills pocketbook stolen. No ono had seen It , nobody knew anything ns to where 11 had gone and finally Mr. Worthington - ton concluded It had been stolen. So con vinced was ho of this that he at once approached preached the other gentleman of the party and laid the crime at his door. Well , If he had placed one of those can non crackers under the man he would not have succeeded in arousing his Ire so thor oughly. "You're a liar , " biff , bang , "and I'll teach you to accuse me of taking your pocketbook , " biff , bang , thud , and both men rolled In the gutter. The women came to Worthlngton's assistance , but to no purpose , as the man had already settled Worthington - ton , and in order to nicely complete the Job he stacked the women In the gutter with Worthlngton. Then he made his escape , but the loud noise brought a patrol wagon and a policeman to the scene , and the three were taken to the station and charged with disturbing the peace by fighting , but the un known was nowhere to bofound. . Later the pocketbook containing $20 was found on Mrs. Worthlngton. Mrs. Worthlngton and Grace Irvine were each fined $2 and costs In police court yes terday. Mr. Worthlngton paid $7.50 for his connection with the affair. Al'TKU Tl'\ J/OA TJIS. News of the Wrrck of the- Minting Moray. Hlilro Comes to Iliinil ut Last. VANCOUVER , B. C. , Feb. 9.
