they LOST THEIR WAGERS.
One of Harrison's Raekers Rides in a
Wheelbarrow.
TWO MORE UNF0RTUNATEs
Election Echoes Which Will Be Sources
of Amusement to Hosts of
Voters.

About s O'Clock last night those VINO
had previous knowledge of the treat
that was in store for them began gather
ing about the corners on East Seventh
street, in the vicinity of the store OF the
Andrew Schoch Grocery company,
there to see the head of that concern
carry out the condition of an election
bet with A. Fl. Miller.
The terms of the wager, which was
made some time before election, were
that in case Cleveland were elected
Miller would wheel Schoch four blocks
through the streets he dictated, and i'll
case of Harrison's election Schoch would
wheel Miller the same distance upon the
streets he demanded to enjoy his trl-
umphal march. '-
At s 80 the wheelbarrow. with Miller
adjoining its bed in the attitude OF bull
frog, and the pale but Determined MT.
SchOch between the handles, began its
course out of the front door of MIR. Mil
ler's place of business down Seventh
street to Wacouta, thence TO Sixth street,
up to Seventh again and down Seventh
into Miller's store. The principals were
followed by fully 800 people, many OF
whom were struggling
WITH HUGE TIN HORNS,
dogs, teams and policemen, the latter
having congregated in a great state OF
excitement at the noisy demonstration.
Many prominent citizens were in the
multitude, and a telephone message
was received from Hon. p. III. Kelly, eX-
pressing his regrets at not being able to
attend. Congratulations from all sides
were heaped upon Mr.. Schoch for so
calamity performing the conditions OF
his bet he lost and paid without a muir
mer A dozen or SO Of those who had
assembled were then uShered into priv
ate apartments in MI. Miller's store and
wine and cigars were INDUCED in until
the other guests dispersed before the
gentle promptings of the policemen.
AS the result of all election wager a
we'll known business man and large
cOrtege will parade st. Peter street from
Third to Tenth ats o'clock this evening
in manner that will cause no little
merriment to the spectators. Edward
HI. Stahtmann, in business at Ninth and
St. Peter streets, will be the central
figure, and pays the penalty of defeat
on presidential wager with George
Schiller. a neighbor. According to the
terms OF the agreement the winner was
~ TO PROVIDE ANY MULE
he might select, which the loser was to
ride without saddle, bride or girth over
the route named, or forfeit 500. The
little German band occasionally seen
upon the streets has been engaged to
lead the procession. II. Lucore acting
as drum major, while Mr.. Schiller and
Fred Schroeder will accompany the
victim as guards of honor. The mule
provided is an unusually obstinate one
and the probabilities are that the event
will result in many laughable situa-
tons.
Owing to the fact that the Salvation
army did not parade last night as was
expected, Major Feise was unable to
carry ont the conditions of his election
bet-hut will do so Friday evening, cir
cumstances permitting. The conditions
of this unique bet were that the major,
in case of Harrison's election, would
march at the head of the Salvation
army turnout in full uniform, and to
use his baton as he would at the head
of his band. If the officers of the Sal
walton army object to such pomp and
spIendor, he will take his position i'm
mediately in the rear and swing his
baton within foot Of the ear Of the
last Salvationist.
