circus reached here yesterday and pa
pered the town for the 10th of August.

tends to have for his own personal use.
The consideration is said to have been
$3.50.
Those who want to hear an entertain
evening go to the Boomer school build
ing, and here Robert Shaw tell about the
pyramids in Egypt.
There is a vague m that w. G.
James, who is, we believe, one of the
city council, is to build a new sidewalk
along his beautiful property. 1t is al
most too good to be true.
DIR. Archibald's horses, Glenwood and
Normond, who have been at the driving
park here for months, under the care of
that veteran turfman, Sam Colburn, were
shipped to Davenport yesterday, to at
tend the races there.
The Rock Island trains yesterday were
greatly delayed by a washout east. The
train which ought to have reached here
Tuesday night did not arrive until yester-
day noon, and yesterday mornings train
was also several hours late.
j. A. Ross, who used to run the Mer-
chants restaurant, is now nicely settled
in new quarters, at No. 537 Broadway,
and has christened the place as 1.-The
Clifton" and has certainly a fine restau-
rant and ice cream parlor.
1t is almost time for the annual fatali-
ties caused by falling bluffs. The exca-
vators are getting rs usual a little ven
turesome, and the banks are as treacher-
Gus as ever. There was n very narrow
escape on Bluff street Tuesday evening,
which should serve as a warning.
All members of the social union of the
Presbyterian church who were not pres
ent at the business meeting on Tuesday
evening last, are requested to meet ut the
church Friday, July 81, at 8 o'clocka a. M.
sharp, to participate in a picnic given by
the social union. A grand time is ex-
pected. Vehicles will be supplied.
William Vincent, arrested on the com
plant of William Carroll on the charge
of burglary, was yesterday held to the
district court in the sum of $500. Vim
cents explanation is that he was sent to
CAROLS house by a woman who claimed
to own the furniture, and that he was to
get it for her. The door not being open,
and no one at home, he took possession
of it by force.
The requisition for the man Murphy,
arrested in Omaha for the larceny of Far
mans store, reached here yesterday, and
George Edgar armed with this went
across the river and brought the man
back into Iowa. Murphy was lodged in
Jail here to await an examination. He
might just as well have come across
without all this fuss. but it seems that he
thought differently.
Two of those charged with being con-
cerned in the row at the Danish dance,
at which Mr.. Oleson wa 80 seriously in
jured, were brought into Justice Seizures
court yesterday. They were M. G..
King and L. Barrett. They plead not
guilty and gave 5000 bonds each to ap-
pear some day next week. Some of the
other parties concerned in the affair are
said to have skipped out.
1t will be a surprise to many to learn
that Rev. p. f. Bresee, former pastor of
the Broadway Methodist church here,
and recently appointed pastor of the con-
templated new Central church here, has
been transferred to the California confer
ence, where he will be given a new field
OF work. MIR. Bresee's many friends in
this city and state will regret that he is
to make so long a move. He not only
has made for himself a good name in
side, but also outside the church.
Lirs. Paulina Blackerts was yesterday
taken to the asylum for the insane. It
will be remembered that soon after the
Hood she had some difficulty with a deaf
and dumb man, claiming that he was
picking up driftwood which belonged to
her. Quite a serious affray occurred,
and 1T is claimed that injuries received at
that time have resulted in her insanity.
The deaf and dumb man was arrested.
but his case has been continued from
time to time because the woman was nm
able to appear in court.
Wheeler, who was arrested ON COM
plant of a colored man named Epps. for
securing money under false pretences,
was yesterday discharged, it appearing
that while acting as agent for a house he
rented it to Epps, supposing that the
family occupying it had moved out, and
took "a in advance on rent. When Epps
went to move in, it was found that the
other family had not and would not
move Wheeler then served notice on
them to get out, 80 as TO make room for
Epps, and hung to Epps for 90, which
made the latter hot, and he had him ar,
rested.
John Lebty was just drunk enough to
play smart, but he got too smart, when in
his abuse of quiet citizens on Broadway
he used profane and obscene language al
ladies passed along the walk. In cour
he pleaded not guilty, but it was proved
up SO that the judge fined him, the whole
bill being about $40. He wanted
chance TO earn the money before paying
it, but Judge Aylesworth remembered
him of old, he having given him chanc,
to husk corn to get money to pay a fin,
last fall, but the fellow skipped. This
time he was given a chanceto work it out
on the street.
