NiaheA I'm the Air.

There was an amusing scrimmage at one
OF our popular restaurants last evening,
which caused those who witnessed it to
think that dishes had wings. A Celestial
cook got "hot" over a reprimand from the
waiter on duty because of neglect in TAX
ing orders. and told the waiter to go to
h. The latter, who is not the man to
stand any such nonsense, had his arm
loaded with dishes, which he landed square
in the Chinaman's frontispiece, who fell
to the floor, muttering all sorts OF Chinese
oaths. John regained his feet and donned
his street gear, intending to decamp on the
instant, but was dissuaded by the quiet
assurance of the waiter that If he did 80 at
that time he would get another dose OF
the same sort before he would receive his
wages.

Irish land shows . continuous tendency
to go out Of cultivation, the area under all
crops being this year but 5,151, 230 acres.

the year Of more than go, 600 acres. There
is some increase in the number of cattle,

A Man who Insisted ON Giving .
Stranger All His Money.
Jimmy Black, Q we'll known sporting
man, formerly Of Carson, but now making
a success Of mining in the Wood River
country, who recently returned from the
East, tells to q reporter Of the Salt Lake
Tribune a queer story of q cranky charac-
ter whom he met on the train, which was
plunging along through Nebraska. Black
was playing whist with some chance ac-
quaintance when Q man walked rapidly up
the aisle Of the car, and addressing Mr..
Black, said II want to speak to you"
His queer ways had attracted the attention
OF the passengers, and remarks had been
made that the man was evidently O little
OF. 30 Mr.. Black said "All right. Go
into the smoking section and I will come
to you in a few minutes" Shortly after
wards Mr.. Black went to the section,
as he had promised, when the man, in
great excitement, rose, and holding
out his hand, in which was 5000 in
currency, said II know you are after
me. Take this. It is every cent chat !

other is gone, I don't know where. /

Take the money and search me il you
think I have any more" Mr.. Black called
another passenger. The two sat down and
gained from the man that he had been q
jeweier in Boston; that his place was
81 Broomfeld street; that his name was
7. A. Derome. and they believed from
what he said that he had been mixed up in
some crookedness; that another man and
q woman were involved; that possibly the
trunk he could not account for was valu-
able, and that perhaps the man and woman
had sent him West and with the trunk had
themselves gone in another direction. The
man believed that Mr.. Black was q detec-
tive, and obeyed all his directions. Mr..
b. telegraphed the Chief OF Police of
Boston and asked that an answer be sent
to Ogden. Arriving there and finding
no dispatch, Mr.. Black and the sleeping
car conductor (Mr. Campbell, q splendid
MANI bought a ticket for the man back to
Boston, bought 9 bill OF exchange for the
remainder and started the man back, Mr..
Campbell undertaking to look after him
and to have him and his property toward

Ayers Career,

DETROIT, August 15.-RusselI A. Algier,
the republican nominee for governor, was
born in Lafayette township, Medina county,
Ohio, February 81, 1885. When II years of
age his parents died, leaving him with a
younger brother and sister to support, and
without any of the substantial means of ex.
istance. Lacking the opportunity of better
employment he worked on a farm in Rich.
tield,O :, for the greater part of each of the
succeeding seven years, saving money enough
to defray his expenses at Richfield Academy
during the winter terms. In 1857
he commenced the study of law in
the Office OF Wolcott & Epson, at Akron,
remaining there until March, 1859, when he
was admitted to the bar by the Ohio supreme
court. lie then removed to Cleveland and
entered the law Office of Otis & Coffinbury,
where he remained several months, Hard
study and close confinement began to tell on
his constitution, and failing health warned
him that he must seek other occupation. He
therefore reluctantly abandoned the practice
of law and removed to Grand Rapids, Mich,
to engage III the lumber business. When
troops for the war, MIR. Alger en-.
listed in the Second Michigan cavalry,
and was mustered into the service of the
United States as captain of company c. He
participated in some of the ~iiercest contests of
the rebellion, and was twice wounded. His
first injury was received in the bait of Boone
vile, Miss, July 2, 1862. His conduct in
this engagement was so distinguished that he
was promoted to the rank of major. On the
same occasion his colonel, the gallant Phil
,Sheridan, was advanced to the rank Of brig
Adier-general. On the 10th of October Major
Alger became Northumberland of the 9th
Michigan cavalry, and was ordered with
his regiment to the army of the Potomac.
After marked service in the early campaign
Of 1868 be was again advanced, and on June
I'd received his commission as colonel of
the 9th Michigan cavalry. His regi-
ment at this time was in Clusters famous
Michigan cavalry brigade. On the 9th Of
July occurred the battle of Boonesborough,
Md. In this conflict he was again wounded.
His health received q more than temporary
impairment, and in October, 1864, he was
obliged to retire from the service. He was
breveted brigadier general and major general
for gallant and meritorious service on the
field" General Alger came to Detroit in
1865, and since that time has been extensively
engaged in the pine timber business. Heis a
tall, handsome. military appearing and very
affable, with a fine forehead, rather a promi-
nent nose, an iron-gray moustache and chin
whiskers, and a full head of black hair
sprinkled with gray. He is a hard worker,
fond of fast horses, and drives a splendid span.
He is a millionaire.

Another Confidence Game Played in
the Bluffs.

the BIuffS.
Last evening a young man named
Samuel Seligman arrived in the city and
put up at the fremont house. At the
supper table he made the acquaintance
of a man who claimed to be a stranger,
but who is known as the confidence man
Bloom, of whom is referred to in another
article on the Council Bluffs page to-day.
They strolled up Broadway and the con-
fidence man worked the express
dodge and check game upon
the unsuspecting man to the ex-
tent of $40, on a check for 500.
They separated. The young man went
down Broadway and thinking he had
been skinned told Edward Watts. The
two returned up Broadway and met OF
icer Hurley, who telephoned to hold the
II o'clock dummy train, and on return
ing found their man pretending to be
asleep. Hurley arrested him, brought
him up and placed him in the hands of
Officer Morse, who jailed the bird while
Officer Hurley went to the transfer with
two men looking after the accomplice,
the express agent. The officer returned
from the transfer at 1:30 this morning
without the agent but r~ejoices over the
arrest of Bloom.
