..|" .H.. ... I.
One of the attractions at the Presby-
terrain festival yesterday and day before
was a tent erected in the corner of the
hall, in which two young ladies, in gypsy
costume, foretold the future of the lads
and lasses by means of cards. Late in
the evening these divinities left their tent
and repaired to a supper table in the rear
of the hall, leaving their cards lying upon
the table. Three cowboys, who had been
sauntering around taking in" the attrac-
tons, espied the table andthe cards, and
supposing this to be an amusement of the
evening in which they had not yet in
dulged, they quickly ensconced them
selves under the canvas and were soon
engaged in a game of draw. They
were discovered by a little girl, whose
blue-stocking feelings were shocked at the
sacrilege, and who Immediately ran and
informed the pastor. The dominic quietly
slipped to the rear of the tent, unperceived
by the trio within. Undoing the fasten-
ings, he gave a sudden jerk, and down
came the whole affair, enveloping the
frightened players in its folds. The
scrambling INDUCED in by the cowboys to
get free proved the most laughable event
of the evening. As each bewildered face
made its appearance from the folds of the
its owner directed it toward the
door and never stopped until safe in the
street

1t would be according the Georgia
minstrels entirely too much praise to say
that they furnished hilarious entertain
ment to the large audience which assem-
bled in the Opera house last evening.
They fell short of this, although some
features of the performance were com
mendable for their excellence. The jokes
and gags, however, were of such a veneer
able character that they may have de-
lighted the original Adam in his youth.
Most of the singing was good and the
dancing of a high order of excellence.
The audience which greeted the company
was a large one, every seat in the house
being occupied.

Fatal Feud.

JUNCTION CRY, April s.-Yesterday
as Jim O'Connor and his brother Mike
were driving along the road ON Dry creek,
twelve miles from here, they were warned
by Ernest Allen and others not to cross a
certain piece of land belonging to the
school district. Not needing the warning
an attempt was made to stop them,
which did not succeed. When returning
later in the day O'Connors found a wire
stretched across the school district land to
prevent their passage and five men, two
named Allen and three named Breen,
were stationed there with shot guns and
revolvers. Mike O'Connor cut the wire,
when Ernest Allen shot and killed Tim
O'COnnor. Mike hen rushed at one of
the Breens with an axe and chopped his
head, infiicting mortal wounds. The
party then closed in on Mike, broke the
shotgun over his head, disabling him.
All the parties were arrested and lodged
in jail. The affair grew out of an old feud
between the Breens and O'Connors.

"what Is a Maverick,

On Sunday evening, in this city, at a
little social gathering, there were present
a number of prominent gentleman en-
gagged in the stock business and also a
number of ladies. The rambling con-
versation of the gentleman turned upon
the subject of the great stock convention
and Immediately something was said
about the maverick bill" One of the
ladies present turned to one of her fair
companions and said: "Why, what do
they mean by that word, maverick. 1
have heard so much about it. What is
a maverick" oh replied the lady
thus addressed, don't you know what it
means, my dear? Why, maverick means
a cattleman." There were a few smiles to
be seen upon the faces of those present,
following this innocent remark.

DAVENPORT, Ia, April S.-For some
time residents of this city have been
missing articles of wearing apparel and
household use in the most mysterious
manner and the police have proved un-
able to cope with the case. Finally, sus-

per announcement, was continued again
last'evening with another large attendance

of other good things was partaken of at
the lunch tables. The committees of
ladies were substantially the same@as the

sidering the bad weather on Monday
night and the fact hat there was another
entertainment in the city last evening.
Much credit is due to Mrs. Graham, Mrs.
jenkins and other ladies, through whose
u%ntiring efforts the affair was crowned

AT an early hour yesterday morning
seven supposed tramps were rounded-up
by the police near the old round house
south of the railroad track and lodged in
the calaboose. Yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock they were all taken before Judge
Lee on the charge of being ''vags." A
rather informal investigation took place in
regard to their cases, and two of the mum
Der, Jerry Sullivan and William Rudlend,
plead guilty and were sentenced to pay a
fine of SIS and costs each. The others in
sisted that they were nUS tramps nor vags,
but that they were out of employment, and
had been unable to find anything to do.
They had no money, nothing to eat and
no place to sleep, and it was because of
this hat they were wandering around the
city, and they would not plead guilty to
the charge. The investigation into their
cases proved the truthfulness of what they
claimed. They were simply laboring men
out of employment and with no money.
The five were therefore discharged. The
two who were genuine Migrants will work
out their fines on the streets.

account Of the recent wet weather tumbled
