Rumors of a sensational and scandalous
nature created great deal of excite
ment on Twentieth street, between Eighth
and Ninth avenue Saturday afternoon and
evening. These reports were of the
thrashing of citizen by neighbor.
The gentlemen implicated in the fracas are
none other than Mr. Manuel Bowlby, who
lives with his son, W. W. Bowlby, 500
Twentieth street, aud Mr.. August
Schmidt, the well known builder, who
lives two doors north. 1t seems that
Mrs, Schmidt had been suspicious of the
attentions shown by Mr.. Bowlby to her
little ones for some time, and that Fri>
day evening Mr.. W. W. Bowlby and
wife came down town, having left their
children at home, and the little Schmidt
girl, nine years of age, was in
vited TO come over and play
The little boy of John Peters, Mrs
Scbmidt's son in-law, also went over
The older Mr. Bowlby was alone in the
house with the children, and, knowing
this, Mrs. Schmidt became anxious, and
going over, peeped through the window
shutters. Mr.. Bowlby, she SAYS, was
kissing and hugging her little girl. This
was in the parlor, it is alleged and the
condition of the child's clothing was
such that it gave evidence of Mr. Bowl
by's having taken improper liberties.
Mrs Schmidt hurried home and told
her husband of what she had sec0, and be
was naturally highly indignant aud on
Saturday morning waited in the
yard until Mr.. Bowlpy came out of
the house, when he went over and gave
him severe dressing down. Very loud
language was used and, in this way the
neighbors were aroused. The report
soon spread and the case was a matter
of common talk Saturday night.
W. W. Bowlby claims that there was
no ground for the charges against his
father; that his father is fond of children
and was teaching the girl in music when
Mrs. Schmidt peeped in through the
shutters. He is positive his father was
attacked without cause

ITS UNKNOWN BEAUTY.
The Mississippi River Scenery has
not been Justly Adver-

Those who travel nor Inward on the
river steamers haye noticed that with
very few exceptions the passengers are
residents of towns along or contiguous
to the river. Seldom are foreigners or
eastern tourists among them. This is
because the beauties of the upper Mis-
sissippi are not generally known. Mark
Twain, who was on the War Eagle on her
last trip from st. Paul to Keokuk where
the humorist's mother resides, says of it:

other have | seen such interesting seem

One finds all that the Hudson Affords
bluffs and wooded bighlands-and
great deal in addition. Between St.
Paul and the mouth of the Illinois river
there are over 400 islands, strung out in
every possible shape. A river without
islands is like a woman without hair.
She may be good and pure, but one
doesn't fall in love with her very often.
