The streets and avenues in the central por-
tion of the Fourth ward are being rapidly
brought to a grade, and on some of the
streets that were filed last spring the dirt
has already settled sufficiently to make fine
drives. Several of these streets are to be
paved this year, as they are complete in all
other respects.
There is much carelessness shown in
throwing paper into the streets. Yesterday
there was great deal of this rubbish being
tossed about Broadway. The unlIempt ap-
pearance given the street should cause the
city marshal to pinch the offenders, and
more than that is the liability of accidents by
reason of frightened horses.

the patrol wagon was sent down to quell the
disturbance. Brickbats, coupling pins and
car links were used, but no one was seriously
injured. No arrests were made, although

prompt arrival of the police prevented any
serious consequences.
About O'Clock Thursday afternoon, two
girls appeared on the premises of Mr. L. ID.
Harrison, 90G East Pierce street, on horse
back and after tieing their horses in the
yard started down the street, and have not
been seen since One of the animals is a
large, light bay horse, and the other dark
brown mare, wearing saddle One of the
girls carried valise and it is thought that
they were runaways. Mr. Harrison is caring
for the horses and the owner can recover
them by paying charges.
II was reported yesterday in some of the
railroad offices that the running time be-
tween this city and Chicago was to be slowed
up little, so that passengers would not be
compelled to wait so long in this city for
Union Pacific connections for the west, as
changes are expected on that line. General
Agent Burns, of the Union Pacific was seen
in regard to the matter, and said he had
heard nothing of any proposed changes, and
doubted the truth of the report, as present
connections are very close and there is no
occasion for any change.
The bachelors and benedicts played lively
game of ball at the Manawa grounds yester-
day afternoon, and the latter club plainly
demonstrated its superiority by a score of
IL to 10, without taking its turn at the bat in
tne nlntn inning. Inc single men falled TO
score until the sixth inning, when the mar
ried catcher's hands became too sore to hold
the ball, and the bachelors began to pile up
runs Bett, of the regular league team,
caught for the unspliced players, with Jim
Bowman and Gus Beresheim in the box. A.
w. Askwith pitched for the victorious nine.
The attendance was rather light, owing 10
the threatening weather.
Yesterday afternoon an old man whose
white hair indicated that he had at least ar
rived to years Of accountability, was selling
Or attempting to sell upon the public street q
pamphlet, which, as q combination OF sacri-
lege and indecency, has not been equalled in
these latter times. He accompanied his ex-
panation OF the contents of his work with
language most indecent and foul. So sour
rilous was the whole exhibition that police
man was called TO see by what right the
thing was allowed. He showed up license,
properly issued, for two days. The old man
was evidently attempting TO work up a little
cheap notoriety, but allowing such things to
be done in a public manner is, TO say the
least open to question. The course of the
old man was severely condemned by those
who listened to his tlrade and scanned the
pages of his book, as was also that of the
city authorities in allowing him TO operate in
this manner.
