the city yesterday on important business.
The work of laying the foundation of
the German Catholic church is progressing
as rapidly as possible.

tice that COWS and other animals found
running at large contrary to the city Or
| dinances will bs impounded.
By the order of his honor, the mayor,
all the gaming houses in this city have
been closed. But cage, it is understood,
| has been found for the tiger on the other
side of the lake.
Farmers in town from Alton state that
the oat harvest is proceeding slowly. The
| chintz bug is said to be doing but little
| damage, which is attributed to the cold
weather that has prevailed of late.
Capt. Elder is of the opinion that some
one of the many persons who board his
barge for the purpose of fishing, made off
| with his knives and revolver on Saturday
last. The captain will take good care
hereafter to keep the cabin door locked.
Rev. Mr.. Spafford takes a short vacation
and goes this week to visit his mother,
who resides at franklin Grove, Ill. He
will be gone about two weeks, consequent
| ly there will be no preaching in the
University church for the next two Sun
days.
Instead of waiting for Barnum and
Jumbo as requested, Halls circus tent was
filled almost uncomfortably on Monday
evening, although but little blowing has
been done. The performance on Monday
afternoon and evening gave better salts
faction generally than any tent show that
has exhibited here in long time.
Sandy McDougal and John Bremen, two
of the Saltwater crew who were to partici-
pate in the batteau race at Minnelonka
and were detained at home by illness were
so far recovered as to be on the street yes
| terday. Both gentlemen were down with
bilious fever. Judging from their appear
ance the attack was not of the mildest
type.
The family of Mr.. Bornhold have been
| sadly afflicted of late, having lost two
children within as many days by diphthe
ria, one of seven years on Sunday. On Mon
day little one three years of age was
taken. A son sixteen years of age, who
has had severe attack of the same dis
ease, is recovering as fast as can be ex-
| pected.
If the weather is favorable lively game
of base ball may be expected this after
noon between the Minneapolis Browns and
the Minnesota Chiefs, of this city. This
last nine is composed chiefly of the old
members of the club, and was made up
when the match games were played with
the Hastings boys and others. To-day will
be played the first match game of the sea-
son in this city, and considerable interest
is being manifested in the result.
Onhi return from the national encamp-
ment of the G. A. R., held recently at
Demet, Deputy Sheriff Marty brought
with him fac-simile of the last newspaper
printed in Vicksburg while under control
of Gen. Pemberton. The paper in ques-
tion bears date of July 2, 1868, and is
printed on a piece of common wall paper
eleven by eighteen inches In size. AS a
momento of the past the little sheet is
quite interesting. 1t contains quite a long
article on Lees prospects in Virginia, and
such other items of news as could be
obtained. Two days after the paper was
issued the city surrendered.
Yesterday the city force by the order of
the street commissioner commenced work
on the highway in front of the residence
of Thomas Works, when that gentleman
appeared on the scene and ordered them
to desist. Apparently he was determined
to enforce his orders with all the means
at his command. Mr.. Yorks claims that
the street is yet private property, and that
the city has never acquired any right or
title thereto. In justice to Mr.. Yorks it
may be said that by his statements yester-
day he is willing to do what is right in
the matter. Officers Rearaden and Nc
CarthY were sent out to inquire into the
cause of the disturbance, but after hearing
both sides of the questions refused to
make any arrests.
