from the colored population. Such house
controlled and operated by colored men, nc
doubt would have the united support and

ing Park ASSOCIATION, next week, promises
to eclipse anything Of the kind held on this
circuit There are over eighty entries in
clud ny some of the best trotters in this part
of the state, insuring To the spectators some
fine exhibitions Of speed. All that Is needed
now Is good weather, and the cLterprising
gentlemen who originated the project may
be assured Of a meeting and financial sue
cess. II is reported that SIX coach loads o.
visitors are coming, one OF the days, from
Sterling aud Rock Falls alone, while the re-
ports from other localities indicate that the
city will be crowded during these four days.
Special rates are offered on all the railroads,
and tie Paw Paw route will run special
train each day from the north end OF the
county, leaving Earlvlle and Paw Paw In
the morning and Ottawa after the races. The
meeting seems to have struck the right key.
The horsemen are unusually enthusiastic
nd declare that the meeting, so far as they
are concerned, will "lay over" any held IN
the circuit. and the hoi poiloi, the army
OF spectators, are quite enthusiastic. The
meeting is sure to be most enjoyable one.

wasn't strife between two factions, but be

the great amount Of important business

Michael banner, Jr., trusted employe Of
the New York Central Railroad, having
charge of the propellers plying between Chi.
cago and Buffalo, disappeared from the latter
city in 1878. He occupied good social po.
sition and had comfortable home and low
ing wife. In addition, he occupied the posi-.
tim Of treasurer Of the Odd Fellows Benevo-
len. Association of the State of New York,
and was secretary and treasurer Of the Buffa.
10 lodge Of that order. After his sudden de.
parture IL was discoyered that his accounts
with the Odd Fellow lodges were short to the
extent Of $1,000. The cause OF his defalca-
ton was never made clear. Detectives fol.
lowed him to Canada. but finally gave up the
search. His wife died shortly after the dis.
grace When Mr. Jones was removed from
the depot at Marseilles man named F. NJ.
Tanner, who had long been with the Rock
Island company, was sent there. He at once
made friends with the people there and was

man, who had known Michael Danner, jr.,
going through ON the cars thought he recog-
nized the station agent, and getting Off the
cars began talking with him. He then be-
came sure Of his man, recognizing pecu-
liar twitching Of the corner Of his mouth.
He reported the facts at Buffalo, and Dan
ner's arrest was made on Wednesday last,
and he started for Buffalo with the deputy
sheriff on Wednesday night. Banner claims
there was no mbezzement; that his &C

The usual bills were then read, but before
any action was taken Aid, Griffith moved that
officer Robinett be put.upou full policeman s
pay, and proceeded to explain wherein the
usefulness of that officer would be greatly
enhanced by such act. The mayor argued
against the motion, saying that the people
thought We had too many policemen now,
and that he did not think 1t advisable to
make the increase in pay called for The
mayors speech proved effective, and the
motion was lost. On motion of Aid, Hull
officer Robinett was directed to contine him
self to his own ward.
At last the bills were ordered paid. But
now sprung up the last and hottest fight Of
all. Some Items had been charged to the
sewerage fund which Thomas repudiated as
not having been contracted by his commit
tee, and he charged that someone had been
trying to get up scheme to save money for
their own committee at the expense OF his.
This brought Mr.. Hull to his feet with hot
words dsclaimlng any attempt to get up II
scheme, but that lie had undertaken to do n
piece of work ut the request Of member OF
he sewerage committee, which was needed
)ut which had teen neglected by the proper !
committee. The expenses belonged to the |

,ed at once. In the midst of the war Of
words motion to adjourn was made and

themselves in language more expressive

ody apparently not having recovered from

Selecting a Horse.

The Ttnf, Field and Farm, than
which there is no better authority on
the subject says: In buying a horse,
first look at his head and eyes for signs
of intelligence, temper, courage and
honesty. If bad qualities predominant
in a horse, education only serves to en-
large and intensity them. The head is
the indicator of disposition. A square
muzzle, with large nostrils, evidences
an ample breathing apparatus and lung
power. Next, see that he is well un-
der the jowl, with jaw-bones broad and
wide apart under the throttle. Breadth
and fullness between ears and eyes are
always desirable. The eyes should be
full and hazel in color, ears small and
thin and thrown well forward. The
horse that turns his ears back every
now and then is not to be trusted. He
is either bitter or kicker, and is sure
to be vicious IN other respects, and, be-
ing naturally vicious, can never be
trained to do anything well, and so a
horse with a rounding nose, tapering
forehead, and broad, full face below
the eyes is always treacherOus and not
to be depended on. Avoid the long
legged, stilted animal-always choos-
ing one with short, straight back and
rump, withers high and shoulders slop-
ing, well set back, and with a good
depth Of chest, fore legs short, hind
legs straight, with low down hook,
short pastern joints, and round null
foot.
