Mayor Roland of Neola , In the absence of
any other available law officer , brought
Henry Grantz to the county Jail yesterday
and turned him over to the keeping of Sher
iff Morgan. Grantz has been Indicted by
the grand Jury In the cast end of the county
upon the charge of larceny as bailee. His
trouble was the result of one false step
taken several months ago. He Is a carpen
ter , and until two yca.'s ago vas a worthless
tramp and vagabond , who traveled around
the country picking up his living wherever
ho could find It with the least effort , libs
normal condition was a stage of complete
Intoxication. Two years ago he fell Into the
bands of some good Samaritans , who suc
ceeded In getting him started right , nnd
since that time he has been an exemplary
member of society , wllh plenty of work to
do and a happy fiimllv of wlfo nnd two
children. His rcfoi milieu VUF supposed to
be complete and ho oooaino a pillar In the
Methodist church of Nooht Koine time ago
ho contracted wl.h a Mrs. Downs to build
a house for her. He was anxious to do the
work as cheaply as possible and represented
to her that If she would give him money and
let him come down to Council Bluffs and buy
the lumber he could save her considerable
money. The proposition was accepted and
Mrs. Downs gave him $35 to apply on Ihc
lumber bill. Immediately after reaching
the city he wandered Into temptation and
fell very hard. Ho Indulged In a continu
ous spree for several days and when ho ic-
covercd he found that he had spent all of
the money but $1.25. The matter was
brought to the attention of the grand jury
and ho was Indicted. None of his frlciids
were willing to go his bonds and he was
locked up. _ _

The democrats have had some little diffi
culty In securing a building suitable for
their headquarters. Arrangements had been
made prior to the vacation of the cast half
of the Elseman building to lease It. The
republican campaign committee had previ
ously leased the west half and the march'
Ing clubs were using the upper floors. The
delay of the .democrats in taking possession
of their portion of the building and flttlnc
It up encouraged the Idea that they were
not Intending to do so. The republicans
then stretched a McKlnley and Hobart
streamer clear across the front of the build
ing. This almost broke the hearts 'of the
democratic campaign committee. The situa
tion was discussed In the club meeting on
Thursday night and the committee was au
thorized to cancel Its lease If the republican
managers would not consent to take down
the streamer and agree to occupy only one-
half of the front of the building. The two
committees had a pleasant conference yes
terday and the wishes of the democrats very
willingly gratified. Each club will only
decorate Its own half of the building and
there will bo no occasion for any feeling.
The central figure In the republican decora
tions will bo a mammoth oil painting of Mc
Klnley executed by Artist Jenson. Those
who have seen It pronounce It to bo a piece
oft portraiture of wonderful merit.
CIINON in CooIt'H Court.
In Justice Cook's court yesterday a very
much tangled civil case occupied the time of
a lot of attorneys and the court. Some time
ago John West , a veterinary surgeon , turned
over a team of horses to John Q. Sullivan to
liquidate a $90 grocery bill. The property-
was conveyed through a regular bill of sale ,
but the Instrument was not recorded
promptly. Some time after another creditor
of West sued him and obtained Judgment for
$50. An execution was Issued and the horses
were attached , but before the attachment
papers were served the bill of sale was
placed on record. Sullivan brought a suit
In replevin against Sheriff Morgan , who held
the horses under the attachment. The case
was tried yesterday. The matter was taken
under advisement until Monday afternoon.
George Snyder , a former employe of the
McLaughlln Manufacturing company , swore
out a writ of attachment In Justice Cook's
court yesterday to secure $25 of unpaid
wages. An officer of the court went down to
Mannwa and seized a lot of machinery , belt
ing and tools. Later In the day the Council
Bluffs Coal and Ice company took the same
steps to secure n claim of $32.50 and all the
machinery In the Manavvn shops that was
not covered by the first attachment was
seized. McLaughllu , the head of the firm ,
Is In Kansas City.

Mrs. Fred Cllne , who lives on Sixteenth
avenue , has been called upon to answer to
four criminal charges. Two of them arc
for cruelty to animals nnd two are for
agt&uU. A neighbor named Sorrcnson and
his family are the complaining witnesses.
Sorreison says ho bad bis family cow
and horse picketed on the commons In the
neighborhood , and that for some reason
Mrs. Cllno objected to It. She ordered
him to take them awny and when ho re
fused she seized a club and beat the horse
and cow most cruelly. Sorrenson went to
rescue his animals , and he says the enraged
woman picked up a blacksnake whip and
larruped him with It. He got out of her
way to avoid trouble , and his son , who
was- near by , became the object of the
woman's wrath. She picked up the club
she had been using to beat the helpless
animals and started after him , vowing that
she would kill him If she caught him. These
alleged occurrences are the foundations
for the four warrants that have Issued from
Justice Vlen's court for the woman's arrest.
The cases vvero to have been heard yester
day , but vvero continued until August 11.
Oil n I n Cimi ? llroUoii Up.
The good effect of tha return to the plan
of working city prisoners on the streets is
apparent In tbo great decrease in the number
of arrests for vagrancy. Before the old
order was re-established there vvero ten lei
thirty prisoners in the city Jail all of the
tlmu enjoying life with a degree of comfort
that seemed ta satisfy them , tolling not and
getting three square meals a day. When the
order went Into effect requiring all city
prisoners to labor on the streets It was not
long before the word was passed to the pro
fessional tramps that an arrest In Council
Bluffs meant a sentence at hard labor on the
streets. Within ten days Jess than half the
usual number of Inmates were on hand and
there have been frequent intervals since
whoa the Jail was tenantlces , so far as able-
bodied men were concerned , This was the
condition yesterday and the officer who hae
had chargu of the chain gang found his oc
cupation gone.
The work the men have done in the way oi
rleanlng the mud from paved streets hat
amounted to a good deal more than the cost
of keeping them and the taxpayers have re
ceived some remuneration for the ) big board
bills that have been paid ,

Fifteen hundred people spent the hottest
afternoon of the season yesterday enjoying
the splendid race program provided by the
Gentlemen's lloalster club for Its regular
matinee at the Union Driving park , tt was
too oppressively hot to permit any effort
toward making speed records , but , consider
ing the weather and the condition of the
track , the promoters had no reason to feel
ashamed of the time made In the various
events. The club's Invitation to the women
was very generally accepted , and more than
two-thirds of the spectators were women.
Dalbcy's band furnished the music. Thcro
were four events carded , nnd the last acc
was not finished until after 7 o'clock.
The first event was a half mlle trot be

Diphtheria iiiliU-niIc ntcola. .
The town of Neola Is suffering an epidemic
of diphtheria. Some time ago a child in'the
Jungflrmnn family was taken sick with some
disease that the physicians were unable to
correctly diagnose. In the course of time
the child died. A public funeral was , -held
at the resilience and was largely attended.
Many of the little playmates of the ilcad
child were permitted to kiss the corpse ? . . A
few days after twelve cases of malignant
diphtheria broke out In five of the famlticn
whose children had been permitted to at
tend the funeral. Ono of the children has
died and several others are dangerously 111 ,
Physicians now pronounce the first case to
have been dlptherla of the" most malignant
type. All of the cases have been quaran
tined and every effort Is being made " U1
stamp out the disease.

TWCSTV THOUSAND TO MOVE.
IiiliitliKiiiitN of il Ilriixlllini City Tnk-
IntV Uii New < VuiirtcrM Hn .llnsse.
'The greatest exodus that thu world has
ever seen slnco the children of Israel de
parted out of the land of Egypt nearly
3,500 years ago will soon take place In
Brazil.
All the Inhabitants of a city of over 20,000
population , the capital of one of the largest
and richest states of that country , will In
a few days abandon their homes en masse
What makes this wholesale exodus more re
markable , relates the New York Journal ,
Is the fact that thcbe 20,000 pcoplo will
move In a body Into a new city , which for
two years has been In process of erection
for their occupancy , and which Is as yet un-
tenantcd , save by the artisans and laborers
who are putting the finishing touches to the
miles of streets and the spacious public
buildings and private palaces.
The city which Is on the point of being
thus abandoned to the wild beasts which
swarm In the forests about It Is Ouro-Preto ,
the capital of the mining state of Mlnas-
Geraes , In the southeastern part of Brazil.
It was founded nearly two centuries ago by
the gold seekers.
Ouro-Prcto has been unique among cities
for several reasons , one being that it has
but a single street , and that several miles
In length. The town Is built along u narrow
gorge In the mountains known as the Sierra
do Mlnas-Geracs , a part of the mighty chain
which rises far back from the coast of east
ern Brazil. Though It lies some 5,000 feet
above the sea level , the air is always so
damp that everything not kept In air-tight
cases becomes mildewed within a short
time. Thcro is no such thing as a carriage
of any description In this mountain city , and
even riding muleback Is dangerous , for the
single street , which twists and winds for
miles , is probably tbo roughest In the world ,
there being but few level stretches of more
than a dozen yards in all its length. A portion
tion of It lies along the edge of a deep
chasm , at the bottom of which roars ono ot
the mountain toi rents which help to make
the great Rio do Francisco.
Another remarkable thing about this town
is fully half of the Inhabitants have lived of
late years in the exhausted galleries which
the miners have hewn out of the rock along
the mountain sldo In their search for gold.
The other dwellings are perched at varying
heights up and down the sides of the steep
spurs which Jut Into and sometimes almost
cross the narrow pass.
The new city which the people of Ouro-
Preto are having guilt for them v\lll bo the
direct antithesis of the old. Though the
town has been the capital of the province
and state for many years , and Its inhabitants
are wealthy , they recognized the fact a few
years ago that the time xvaa near at hand
when they would have no occupation or
revenue. They , therefore , inuf In council ,
and It was decided to find seine place where
they could employ their accumulated wraith
to , advantage , It was thereupon decided
that a committee of citizens should search
for a spot favorable for the Ication of a ne\v
city ; that this new townslte should bo In a
fertile region In the lowlands of the prov
ince , which would offer every advantage for
commerce and communication with the In
terior and the coast by water and by rail ,
and that upon such a spot being found a
tcwn should bo built there , which , when
completed , would be at once occupied and
the old city utterly abandoned.
The new city which has risen Is built on
the plan In vogue In all South American
towns , and has a great central square or
plaza In the center. It has an extensive
park and artificial lake and other orna
mental waters. At ono end of the town ,
which will continue to be the capital 01
the state , an Imposing palace for the presi
dent has been constructed , and not far dis
tant are the botanlo and zoological gcrdens
There are two theaters already built. The
principal buildings , such as ( bo extenulva
pfllces which will bo occupied by the gov
ernment , the law courts , the cathedral , Iho
railway station , and several of the largo
hotels , have already been completed , and
many of the more Imposing private resi
dences are ready for occupancy ,
Olio of the first enterprises U wai decided
to engage Inva ThST of slaughtering cat
tle , and thcreforo.ftxlcnslve nbattorls have
been constructed In the outskirts of the
city. The rallroaihiMirtlt T > soon as the site
was chosen , l > flng&l'lH8 & new city Into direct

South Ojirfnlin. . News .
Many persons In South Omaha question the
advisability of the Bdhrd of Education build
ing a two room frame school house on the
property on Twenty-sixth street , near M
street. The High school has been over
crowded for a number of years and It has
been necessary to rent outside rooms to
accommodate all of the pupils. Every year
the attendance Is Increasing , and Superin
tendent Munroc has urged the board to make
some changes at the High school building
In , order to provide room for pupils. At
present the board Is renting the second
floor of the Abrams block , at Twenty-fifth
nnd N streets , for which $20 a month li
paid for nine months , and $10 a month for
the three summer months , Tills makes a
total of $210 n year rental , which Includes
heat. An ex-inembcr of the Board of Edu
cation was talking about the proposed build
ing yesterday , nnd lie said , "A two room
frame building will cost at least $1,000 to
build , exclusive- a heating plant and coal.
That would amount to at the start , five
years rent of the rooms In the Abrams
block , which accommodate from eighty to
ninety pupils , It will be a short time only
until an eight or twelve room building In
the district between N nnd Q streets will
bo an absolute necessity , nnd I think the
building of a two-room annex would bo
squandering the people's money. Another
school house ought to bo build now , but
with the present arrangements the board can
get along ; \cry nicely until the time comes
when It wilt have money enough to put up
a large , substantial building.
Severn ! other cv-tnembers spoke of the
matter In about the bamc strain.

There arc several Instances of men and
women In California who have become heirs
to fortunes of upward of a half million of
ilollnrs by the merest chance , writes a
correspondent of the New York Sun. One
or two cases are known In the state where
men and women hn\e received bequests
of very valuable property by persons whom
they barely Know. Take the case of John
Urtsualter , who died In Los Angeles In the
summer of 1SS1 , leaving an estate of over
$250,000 to two persons who happened to
bo attentive to him in his last and only
Illness. Urlswnltcr came from some llttlii
town In Ontario , Canada. He cnlno to
California In the 60s , made money In
the San Gabriel mines , and went extensively
Into sheep herding.
Drlswaltcr was nn tcnoiant man nnd
wonderfully industrious. He .vorkcrl day
and night with his band of sheep , saved
every tent , nnd bought more shccu nnd
land. When ho was 45 he was worth
$ SO,000 , and when he was CO he had 17,000
sheep , real estate In Los Angeles , and a
largo ranch near the clij. ! ! e grew more
miserly In his old age , nnd for weeks at a
time lived on the meanest faro of a common
sheep herder , whlli\ his annual income
ranged from $1C,000 to $17,000.
One day Hrlswaltcr came Into Los Angeles
to deposit money In the bank. While In
town he was taken 111 suddenly. He was
so filthy that none of the large hotels or
boaullng houses wanted him brought there ,
and he declared he would not pay a big
price for board and loom anvwlicrc. A
itsidcnt of Los Angeles , Louis Mcsmer , was
told that Urlswultcr was bcrlousty sick
down In the rear uf a saloon. He knew
Brlswnltcr , and went down to sec the man.
Ho took pity on him and otdcred that
the miser bo taken to his ( Mesmcr's ) house.
Brtswuttcr never recovered. A week later
the physician told the sick man that he had
a dav nt most to live.
"But how can 1 die , " groaned the old
sheep herder , "I can't leave all my land and
slice ? . "
For several hours Brlswalter tried to
think as best he could how to dispose of
his property. He ban almost forgotten the
very names of his brothers and sisters ,
and had not the least Idea whether they
were nllve. He sent for Stephen M. White ,
then a young lawyer in Los Angeles and
now United States senator from California ,
and ordered his will immcdlatclv drawn
up. Ho gnvo $10,000 to the Roman Catholic
church of Los Angeles , nnd left the residue
of his estate to Louis Mcsmer nnd his lit
tle daughter , who were kind to him at the
last. The father and daughter thus In
herited land nnd other securities that ,
since the phenomenal rise In the value of
real estate In Los Angeles , have brought
upward of $340,000. Brlswaiter's brother ,
who lost no time In coming to southern
California when he heard of the wealth
his long unknown brother had died pos-
scbsed of , tiled for several years to break
the will , but failed.
The beautiful Santa Margarita ranch in
the OJai valley , valued at about $80,000 ,
went to Its late owner by the will of a dying
friend. Hiram Wcstcott came to California
poor and hopeful , some years before the civil
war , from Norwalk , Conn. Ho had the
money-making instinct. He was purchasing
agent for beveral years for the Iluntlngton
Stanford & Crocker company vvhllo il
was building' tlie''Central' ' Pacific railroad
and ho grew wheat when the road was fin
ished. He was married , but had so manj
quarrels with his wife that he wcs glatl tt
let her get a divorce and go away vvltl :
$10,000 of his money. He never wrote let
ters , and It was his boast when he was c
ranchman that he never went to the post-
office. Ho had to pay the men on his rancr
large wages , because ho swore at their
so much and was always abusive. Twice he
was jailed for assaulting men In a nt ol
anger.
Westcott died suddenly when ho was
about 57 years old , and In the Iron safe Ir
his room was found a will , carefully written -
ten , giving all his property to a young
merchant , J. D. Patterson , nnd his wife
who lived in an adjoining county. Foi
some time Patterson could not think why
ho and his wife had been the subject o !
such extraordinary bounty at the hands o !
Wcstcott , whom he had barely known ant
his wife had never seen. But a workman
on the Santa Margarita ranch explained It ,
A year or two previous to his death West
cott was arrested for knocking down a mar
with whom ho had a war of words. Patter
son was one of the jurymen In the case
and while the jury was In deliberation the
rich ranchman happened to hear through the
open window of the jury room Palletsyr
say that he believed Westcott was perse
cuted because he was an infidel , and that
therefore , ho ( Patterson ) would sit there t
week before he would give a verdict agalnsl
him. Wcstcott went to his ranch home
that very night and made a will by whleli
he bequeathed all ho had to Patterson.
The manner of bequeathing the rich es
tate of Jacob Schaub , Yavhpal county , Ari
zona , has been talked over In camps ol
miners and prospectors for twenty years
Fclmul ) was a native of Alsace-Lorraine , ani
came to America In 1851 a poor emigrant
with only one acquaintance In the country
In llmu ho drifted west , and as a teamstei
he joined a party of people starting out
from Missouri to drive across the plains
For eleven years , or until 1870 , ho led the
roving life of a gold-mining prospector In
California and the bouthwest territories
never hearing cither directly or Indirectly
any word from his old homo In Germany
and knowing nothing about the world ex
cept that which was talked about the min
ing camps. Schaub was one of the twc
prospectors who found the Eagle gold anil
sliver mine In northern Arl/ona , forty-twc
miles from Prescott. Ho was poorer anil
more ragged when he and his partner found
the Eagle mlno than he had ever been be
fore.
Schaub and his partner had no trouble 'In
getting capital Interested In such a promis
ing mine , and n third partner , who put $27-
000 In the property and gave his cxpcrlemo
as a practical miner , was taken Into the
firm. In 1S73 Schaub was reckoned worth
$150,000 , and a year later he had an offer for
his share Ir. the Eagle of $180,000 , Along
In the fall of 1874 Schaub was taken with a
low fever known all over the Pacific coast
as mountain fever a peculiar form of
mlaumlc poisoning. Ho was 111 several
weeks and a doctor was called from Prescott
to attend the patient. Schaub became
alarmingly 111 and one day ho was told that
his death was very near. He wen asked If
ho had any provision to make of his rich
mining Interests and for several hours ho
tried to think of some one at his old homo
to make rich by a bequest. Then the
memory of the cruel manner In which ho
had been drlvon away from his boyhood
home by his parents to as to make room
for other and younger children , and the lack
of Interest la him and his welfare by alt ct
the old home In Germany since hu had gone
forth from tt , affected him.
"Bring something to write on , " moaned
the feverish and dying man , "Get the first
thing you can. "
The sick rffan lay in a rude bed In Ills
mountain cabin , Notwithstanding he had
grown from poverty to riches In the few
yean , he bad lived there , ho was a typical
miner In that ho never altered his primitive
mode of life , wen when he had an Income
of $100 a day from his mine. Them were
but the bare necessities In or about the
place and the doctor had gone miles away.
One of the men who attended Schaub picked
up a bit of clean , smooth pine shingle that
lay just outside the cabin door , whllo an
other produced a stub end of a pencil from
his pocket. The patient was gently raised
In bed by the miner friends and held there
while ho managed , by summoning all his re
maining strength , to write laboriously on
the bit of shtngio as follows :
"Notibe , 1 give all property 1 huv got In
Arizona to Hill Davis and Doctor Drinker ,
becaus they hev treeted mo good. Signed ,
"J. SCHAUIJ. "
The dying man had barely flnUhcd writ-

Ing his nnmc when he fell back fainting on
his pillow. In a few hours more he was
iltjnel , but the miners who were about the
bedside had each added his signature bo-
ncath-tho words of the ileecnscd In nttesU-
tlon of the fact that they had witnessed
Schnub's last will and testament.
That piece of shingle was admitted In the
probate courts of Arizona as the will of
Jacob Sclmub nnd Is still filed nmoiiR the
legal documents of the territory. There
was of course the formal procedure of ad
vertising for heirs of kinship nnd the usual
period of waiting for heirs and creditors to
turn up , but none ever calno to light except
William 13 , Da\ls ot Tucson and Dr. Samuel
Drinker of I'rescott , who were named ns
Schaub's heirs. They each proved that they
had befriended the poor German In days
when ho had a hard struggle with the
world , that they were the "Hill DaUs" nnd
the "Doctor Drinker" meant In the words on
the shingle. Each of them got , first nnd
last , some $170,000 In cash from the estate.
The richest man In Los Angeles county ,
Louis 1'hllllps of Spadrn , got his wealth
thiough the kindness of a man who had
been many years In the new Kl Dorado , and
had lost all homo tics and knew not what
relatives he had IMiiK. The San Jose
ranch was owned from 1S50 until ISG9 by a
Pennsylvania Dutchman named Spllcman.
He got It for a song from the Mexicans and
used It as n vast range for cattle. It con
sisted of about 22,000 acres , nnd was worth
In those days , wrtcn Los Angeles and San
Diego were lazy adobe pueblos end there
was no railroad west of the Missouri river
and but n few white people lived. In all
southern California , about $35,000. The
ranch lay In the eastern patt ot Los An
geles county. Nothing grew there ( bcfoio
the days ot Irrigation nnd Yankee thrift )
but bunch grass and foxtail. Splleman cm-
plojcd n young ranchman , Louis Phillips , a
Prussian , who was thu best vaquero
In the region. The two men were Inti
mate. In some way Spllcman became In-
\olvcd In trouble with the Mexican cattle
men on the range about his , and he had
notice one day that ho would have two
dajs In which to quit the country. Ho had
been too long a ranger to look lightly upon
such a demand , for had he not seen too
many cow punchers and cattlemen lying
dead In the grass and chaparral miles
away from any habitation with bullets
through them. Calling his faithful lieu
tenant , Phillips , to him ho explained the
situation.
"It means death at almost any hour by
an unknown cssnsbln If I stay here , " said
Splleman , "and now why can't you take this
range and pay mo what you see fit ? l'\c
not chick or hen In the world to think of
and j ou can get what there Is In It. "
Phillips said that all he had In the world
was a few thousand dollars , and that was
too small a sum to pay for such n property.
Finally It was agreed that Phillips should
take the San Jose ranch and Us cattle for
M2.000 , pu > lng $4,000 down and then sending
the remaining $8,000 at the close of the tea-
son to his friend Splleman In San Fran
cisco. The snip of the cattle that fall
yielded to Phillips oxer $13,000 , and he sent
all the proceeds to his former emplojcr and
friend nnd got a deed In full for the great
ranch. The war came In 1861 , and all the
cattlemen made money -\ery fast. In ten
years .Phillips was worth ovpv , $15Q,000. To
day he jms an Income of fully $100,000 a
jear , and his possessions are worth over
$2,600,000. Parts of the cattle range that
he got from his friend on such advantage
ous terms have been sold at $400 and * 500
an acre for orange groves. The city of
Pomona had sprung up nnd grown over
several square miles of the range , and the
great Chine- sugar beet factory and the 5,000
acres of beets cover a corner ot the prop
erty. Spllcman went broke jcars ago In
the Mining cxchango In San Francisco , nnd
has been dead many years.

The newsboys and bootblacks took a trol
ley ride last night. For scxeral hours and
until they finally launched upon their trip
they v.cro very much Ir. evidence. Crowds
of people lined the streets watching the
progress of the cavalcade and by their fre
quent plaudits showed that others besides
the boys were enjoying the evening.
It was a period long to bo remembered In
the history of several hundred of Omaha's
most lusty-lunged and promising young
"business men. " The event did not come
off without much preparation. The arrange
ments leading up to It have been In steady
progress for days and In consequence the
troupe of "Mogy's boys" marched about the
streets from point to point like a band of
trained mllltla. Every squad had Its leader
and by dint of continual drilling , which has
been carried on for some "nights past upon
South Eighteenth street , the art of military
drill had been acquired.
"Mogy" Bernstein , the bootblack king ,
acted as grand chief marshal. Arrayed In
a glistening black tile and full dress suit ho
sat In a bpeclal carriage and called his
forces to order for marching , about 7:30 : , at
the corner of Eighteenth and Farnam
streets. Assistant Grand Chief Marshal Joe
Thomas on horseback led the cavalcade.
Next came the Y. M , 0. A. Boys' hand In
white uniform ! next In order the bootblack
king and his carriage , nnd , following In line ,
about 400 newsboys nnd bootblacks. Passing
down Farnam street , The Bee , "Mogy's
Place and the World-Herald were serenaded.
The line of march was then taken over Tenth
street to Douglas street nnd thence to
Sixteenth street down to Schacfer'a drug
store , where the boys were given n lunth
consisting of sandwiches , apples , lemonade
and rootbceT. This , as well as the trolley
ride , was the donation of Mr. Schaefer and
he was lustily cheered. "Mogy" made a
speech , thanking him for the entertainment ,
after which there were more cheering and
more music. The ride was commenced from
the corner at Fifteenth and Farnam streets
about 0 o'clock and extended over the vari
ous parts of the city.
AMUSEMENTS
Another large-sized crowd went out to tlio
Charles street park last evening to sees the
high divers , the diving horse nnd the other
attractions , not the least of which Is the
wonderful shooting of Ir , Car\er. The
great feature of the performance U the
high dl > crs and the diving horses. Most
people who have seen the tall tower , rising
up ninety feet from the ground , can scarcely
believe that anyone would he foolhardy
enough to leap from Its summit Into a small
pond of water below , but Gustavus Uhyburg ,
the Swedish wonder , and George Clark , the
Chicago boy , do the trick e\ery perform
ance. Not only do they make the leap , but
they do It with perfect safety to them
selves , though to the ordinary mortal It
would be fatal to attempt It. With the ut
most assurance they leap from the high
platform , and comet down as gracefully aa a
swallow. There will bo a matinee this after
noon and Sunday afternoon , with the usual
performance this evening.
