Mark Durgee, the happy manager Of
the Ogden house, is to make his debut,
and doubtless his reputation as q come
dian in the coming presentation of "The
Great Republic" which is being arranged
for presentation the first week In Deem
Der, and In which several hundred of the
pupils of the public schools will take

A Missouri Valley man named Becker,
came to this city with a load of hogs, got
drunk, and wandering around to the city
cooler, sat down on the steps aud yelled
for the landlord to open up and give him
q nights lodging. George Guanella was
sleeping up stairs, but 80 soundly that he
did not hear him, but two policemen
were attracted from Broadway, and &C
comodated the Missouri Valley man.
Yesterday he learned that the night's
lodging at The city hotel cost ST. 60. He
had no money but a friend named Miller
paid his bill, and the two went of happy.
The young son of j. w. Morse is still
in q critical condition, from the injuries
received at the hands of the Allen boys,
while coming from sohool. The kick
given young Morse in the groin seems to
have caused serious internal injuries, the
of which are very serious, at the
best. The boys have been expelled from
but the matter should not be
allowed to rest thus. According to
young Morse's statement he was used
most hhamefully on several occasions,
and the ruffianly conduct of the Allen
boys seems to have been carried on at
other times. One of tho boys went so
far az to attack one of the teachers. If
one-half told of them is true they should
be given a term in the reform school.
Tho dear old lady called her children
about her yesterday morning and told
them that the number of readers of her
scrap book had increased greatly, and
that she hoped to further command pub
lie confidence as a reliable newspaper.
She does not say how much she has in
creased her number of readers, or how
much she has. THE BEE is the only
paper In this part of the world that
dares to state openly its circulation, and
as for reliability" the old lady can
hardly hope for getting any reputation
for that, 30 long as the public remembers
the partisan reports she made of the last
election, and her n~onsensical claims
concerning the result long after the result
was known and settled. She cannot lay
much claim to reliability when she
openly oonfesses that sometimes all the
regular force is away, and that some out
slider slips in offensive statements. Nor
can she claim reliability so long as she
credits to the Chicago News editorials
which never appeared in that paper.
