GLADSTONE HOTEL.

Ground was broke yesterday for the foun-
dation of Captain John b. Carey's new hotel
corner of Douglas and Fourth avenues. A
hole was dug down about eight feet below
the surface for the purpose Of testing tht
nature of the soil with view TO ascertair
the best bottom for the foundation. 1t bal
been decided to lie. the foundation wall.
down five feet below the surface, therefore
there will be five feet of a solid stone wal
under the hotel, and the brick work viii
begin at the surface.
In answer to a question as to tho namf
proposed for the house. Captain Carey. ssic
that several names had been suggested
among which were the Carey house and the
Eagle house, but he rather favored tn;
name of Gladstone house. but that may de-
pend on the Grand Old Mans success in the
coming election. If he succeeds in his hom'
rule scheme the hotel will undoubtedly b
named after him.

cARELESSNEss AGAIN.

A horse attached TO a carriage standing il
front of Real Estate Agent Thomas Office
on East Douglas avenue, was go caEelessly
watched by the one in charge that he made
safe his escape and started east.
Having gone about block gentleman
ran out in the street and attempted to stoT
him, but in the effort became SO mixed VI
in the affair that he was compelled to lay
down and experience the humiliation O
allowing two wheels of the carriage
to take the dimentions OF cross section o.
himself. He was not hurt however, ant
his actions indicated that he had consider
able amount of strength left.
The horse continued his eastern journey
without paying any attention to this at
tempted interference. Near Topeka avenue
a gentleman appeared on the scene OF
horseback. He spurred W by the side o
the cas-, bound freight and drew the brake
sufficiently to stop the whole business. HI
was given cheer by those in the neighbor
hood for his action, and it was the expressio:
of all that he should reccivs from the owne
of the rig somathlng more substantial.

a JONI caPER.

| 1t was o'clock Thursday morning. Fol
many hours the implanted walls of an East
Douglas avenue joint had resounded with
the yelis of hilarious crowd. The bar
keeper had used ali the plans that his in
ventive mind could suggest to dismiss the
assembly rs ne had long since emptied the
last bottle and no more could be procured
The party of an even half dozen were. how
ever not at all inclined TO see the door, but
were bent on rehesrsing to each other the
many narrow escapes and interesting events
tia. had so far attended their life's journey
Finally this thing of listening to
uninteresting stories and falling asleep
only to be awakened again could
no longer be endured by the vender OF
spirits SO he once more set his inventive sp-
paratus TO work and it solved the problem.
He told his assistant in a sub rosa tone to
leave the room, stating to the boys before
hand that he was going to quit and call it a
night, but soon return and demand sdmis.
sion in an officer like manner. His assistsn,
like himself was anxious to act, so he left
after acting according to instructions. Very
soon he returned, ascending the stairs with
q positive walk and reaching the door, gave
it kick that had the effect Of bringing q
halt 10 those absorbed in con-
versation within. His first effort
at the door was soon followed
BY some others that suggested that he meant
to enter without key or giving the accus-
toned sign that brings assistance in that
little task.
About the time the second series COM
menced the barkeeper informed his visitors
that their early caller WAS Sheriff HAYS
and his crowd and they were going to make
a breakfast job Of the ranch.
While this wa. being made known in q
very few words ne started for the back door
and it is not necessary to say that he had
followers. de led the way into hall where
il WAS dark snd stepped 10 one side and let

AND THE RAIN RAINEp.

Early last evening the clouds began to
gather and about 10 o'clock they hung dark
and threatening over the city, while brigh,
snd frequent flashes Of lightning liz up the
heaven. and the thunder rolled along the
corridors Of the skies. All this Was taken d
pretty fair indication of rain and jos. Q: IL
o'clock it began TO pour and is now pouring
