PRESIDENT Niokerson,s Start.

Chicago Mail: S. M. Nickerson has
for nearly ten years controlled the First
National, and is SO many times over o
millionaire that he does not know what
to do with all his funds. Just before the
war, however. he was not only not mil
lionaire, but was rueing his bad luck as
the keeper of a general store down in
Florida. He came north without any
money, and was taken by Crosby, his
brother-in-law, into distillery he
was running over on the north
side. Horace White, of the Tribune,
was then at Washington, and Clerk
of the committee on ways and means,
and he learned first of all of the proposed
internal revenue tax on whiskey. In o
whiskey pool that was soon after made
up at Chicago by Horace Whites ac-
quaintances, White himself, S. M. Nick
erson, Crosby of opera honse fame, as
well as some others, all had good sized
interests. That pool madey whisaey and
stored it until, when that 81 per gallon
tax went on, they fill realized fortunes.
Then NickSTson bought out President
Aiken of the First National, and ever
since it has kept growing, until now it is
the most profitable banking institution
outside of New York city.

The Goyernor speaks.


Governor Larrabee addressed a good
sized audience in Temple hall last even
ing. The governor is an able reasoner,
but differs in style very materially from
the average political speaker. He might
very appropriately have opened the .,eat.
ing by saying, Come now -, down and
let US reason oges.,aer.- There was ap-
paren'iy tn n" cnoft on his part to appeal
" rupular prejudices, or to create a
laugh, though he was earnest and en-
phatic In his statements, and there was
q vein OF humor running through his
remarks. He met the charges made by
the democrats, and met them fairly
and squarely. One of the principal OF
these charges is that the republicans
have expended large sums OF money and
admitted the expenditure of such sums
as could be raised by two mills tax.
But showed that this state now has as
fine public buildings as any state in the
union, and the unfortunates in this state
were we'll provided for, while the state
debt per capita Is not so large as when
the democrats were in power here, and
they left no public buildings except one
little old capitol at Iowa City, and little
old tumble down prison at Ft. Madison.
Another charge was that the republi-
cans promised in their platform, but made
no attempt to perform. ae requested
that ii any believed this charge they
would take the republican platforms of the
past thirty years and compare themwith
| the statute books and see ii any promise
had not been fulfilled He quoted from
the last platform TO prove the assertion.

Dudes "Done Up" by Dempsey.

AT the witching hour, when milkmen
yawn, says a recent number of the San
Francisco Chronicle, Jack Dempsey, the
pugillstic champion, was chatting with a
were about to part for their respective
homes. Presently four dudishly attired
young fellows who had evidently been
paying their respects to Bacchus, came
along and halted in front of Dempsey
and his companion. The revelers appar-
entity mistook the mild-mannered and in
offensive looking little fighter for an old
enemy in the police department., for
button -holed him and whispered
audibly in his ear: $50 you are one of
those alleged thief-catchers, ehY A sort
of detective, as it were. You think
you're second Vidocq, but say you are
no good.' The other three chimed in with
loud Endorsements of their leaders
caustic remarks, while Dempsey drew
back and replied, good naturedly, but in
"Gentlemen, my friend and myself are
having private conversation with
each other; SO please do not disturb us.
Knowing that you are mistaken in the per-
son, take no offense at what you have
said; but if you are the gentlemen
l take you to be-, you will go
away and leave us alone. We would
nOb lutcTTupb you llho bulh. OH,
chestnut responded the dude spokes-
man, 'you can't crawl out OF it so easy
as that. We know you and show our
utter contempt for you in this way" With
this the dude gave Dempsey singing
open-handed blow acI oss the left ear.
The next instant Mr.. Dude sailed ~, ,nto
the air and caromed s..u,nst the tele0
phone post, twent.y rect away. Dude No.
= y, followed ...ter him in tour of inspec-
'ioI, aown an adjacent basement stair
way. The third one Jared even worse,
for Dempsey kept Il detaining hand on
him and thrashed him so severely that
society will be deprived OF his presence
for some time 10 come. Having re-
Tented somewhat by this time, Jack let
the fourth man off with parting kick
beneath his coat tails, which accelerated
his speed TO the other side of the street in
manner wonderful to behold. For q
few moments quiet reigned supreme, and
then the astonished dudes collected them
selves together at safe distance and
held council OF war. The verdict was
unanimous that they had mistaken their
man, and they were about to wend their
sorrowful ways homeward when Demp-
sey's friend approached with flag of
truce and added despair to their already
great misery by informing them with a
malicious smile who it was they had en-
countered. The young men are we'll
known both in society and about town,
and two of them are prominent mem
bers of an athletic club. Hereafter they
will remember the watehward of Look
before you leap"

AChnnce For Laborers.

G. Shenfeld, the railway contractor,
known to many in this vicinity, he having
finished the Rock Island into this city,
and had other large contracts near here,
writes to his friend N. Schurz, that he
can give employment to large number
OF laborers and teamsters. He has very
large contract on the Southern Kansas
railroad. In the want column will be
found further particulars. Mr.. Sheniield s
well known reliability renders this an ex-
cellent opportunity for those who desire
to improve it. Justice Schurz will give
further particulars to those who inquire
of him.

He also quoted from the democratic
platform. He said the very first idea,
and from a democratic standpoint the
most important one, was expressed in
the first plank, which demanded that
the prohibitory law be repealed, aud the
privilege be granted to open saloon at
every cross road. The second demand
was for pure whisky, yet at the last ses-
sion the democrats failed to introduce
any bill to prevent the adulteration of
whisky. They wanted pure whisky if
they could get it. but must have whisky
any way. He argued at some length
on the tariff question, and proved that
protective tariff meant better wages for
the working classes, better prices for the
manufacturer, and better markets for
the farmer.
The audience paid close attention from
beginning to end, and at an early hour
dispersed quietly, talking and thinking
about what they had heard.

SPECIAL SALE-
ear his farm, and of course the company

near his farm and of course the company
felt very grateful. 2. z. Wright. super
intendent of the Buffalo division, sent for
him and loaded him with thanks for him
self and the company. Talbot modestly
declined money present of $780, but
said he didn't object when Wright pro-
posed making out for him a pass good
for the remainder of his life. While
Wright was writing out the pass Talbot
inquired: Say, Mr.. Wright, have you
any objections to making that read good
friend up to Cleveland with me some
time to see an nncle of mine. Wright
was so full of gratitude that he couldn't
object to anything, and the man got his
pass, good for himself and friend. and it
was afterward sent on to headquarters
and countersigned by the president and
general passenger agent. Well, now,
what do you think? For more than ten
years that man Talbot has been riding
constantly between Buffalo and Chicago,
Buffalo and Cleveland, or Buffalo and
Toledo. He was never alone. He always
had "a friend with him. The friend was
generally some commercial traveller. In
short Talbot has made railroad rIdir@
his regular business. He p,s.11u arrange.
ments with various Wholesale and job
blng houses toerarry their men, and
pooEeaa his engagements months ahead
sso.,inetimes. When these failed he picked
up stray passengers here and there.
After paying his sleeping car and other
expenses he had SO or - a day left as
clear profit, and out of these profits he
managed to amass snug little fortune.
He tried to use his pass on the limited ex-
press, but the company wouldn't have it.
In fact it wanted to refuse to carry him
altogether, but its lawyer concluded that
the suit for Damages would be too ex-
pensive. TalbotSis dead now, though

The TAN Tower OF Paris.

A dispute has arisen as to the height of
the iron tower which Is to be the feature
of the Paris exposition of 1885, 1t was
originally proposed to run it up 1900
feet, but it is objected that it would dwarf
every other structure in Paris. A test is
to be made by sending up captive balloon
to the proposed height and suspending
therefrom four cables, which will repre-
sent the four edges of the tower, flags
being affixed to mark the positions OF the
several stories. All the estimates for the
construction have just been completed.
The cost IS to amount to 7,500,00 francs,
the state contributing l, 800, 900 francs and
the contractors furnishing the remaining
5000, 900 francs, in return for which they
are to have the revenue derived from the
tower for the next twenty years.
