SwINDLED.
A Kansas Man Beaten on the Pur-
chase of Cheyenne Property.

A wild eyed Kansan unloaded a big lot
of swear here yesterday. He arrived from
the south in the early morning and drove
to MInnehaha addition to have a look at
a house and lot for which he had given
Nebraska people S7OO. The lot was there
all right enough, but the meat cottage"
was where it always has benin the
mind of the swindlers who rode in on the
Burlington boom. The Kansan roared
like a wounded elephant and swore VEN
gearce on the confidence man. The
grantor is now in the saloon business at
Holyoke, Col. and will be arrested and
prosecuted for his crookedness. The
property involved is lot I, block 10, Min
nehaha addition. When the deed was
filed here several months ago the consid-
Grafton given excited comment. as the lots
are not worth more than 5000 at the
most. Local realty dealers came to the
conclusion thst the value was fictitious,
hut it is certain that the Kansas man
gave 500 for the lot and a house which
had never been built.

MARINE NEWS,

D. As a class bartenders are quite clev-
er fellows. The man who succeeds in this
line must possess numerous natural quail
iications and must be a many sided gem
Jus of varied accomplishments. In places
where the rougher element dallies with
the flowing bowl the presiding genius has
to be a good entertainer. He must be an
expert at pool, billiards and all card
games. 1t is his duty to quell disturb
ances and preserve peace and if he is
whipped in an i%mpromptu row he might
as well retire. Even in the places where
beer and whIskey are mostly dispensed
the server is required to dress neatly and
is supposed to be able to make every
known fancy drink, though he may not
have materials for the brewing of a toddy.
In the drinking parlors attached to club
rooms and hotels, in the sample rooms of
wholesale houses and in the lum tum
gin mills the man behind the bar must be
up in his business to hold his Job and earn
the liberal salary usually paid. The swell
bartender makes more money than a good
mechanic and has, aside from moral con-
siderations, an easier time. 1t is
essential that he dress correctly
while on duty and frequently he is a GEL
tleman of education with whom it is a
pleasure to transact business. With the
man who makes drink selling a study the
patron is made to feel that his indulgence
is only a matter of barter. Even the
high class men are sometimes called up
on to do a little pugilistic
work, but this is seldom. Some
times the saloon frequenter meets a bar
tender with whom it is a positive pleasure
to deal. 1t is these men who contribute
very largely to the encouragement of the
drinking habit. Their manner brings the
appetite on. Collectively the men who
so deity handle the glasses are not bad
by any means. Many are married and
have interesting families. A number of
the local men own property here. The
writer knows many Cheyenne bartenders
who do not drink themselves and one
says a o'uoh VI "hsAy maheS hlm eiCh.
There Is another who carefully guards the
secret that he was once the first officer in
a temperance society and keeps the pledge

SUCCESS on IRRIGATION.

considered of any importance In an
agricultural way, but this opinion is rap

USE OF WATER

The most unfortunate feature of our de.
velopment in irrigation agriculture is the
haphazard fashion in which water has
been appropriated and, the absence of
proper supervision over the distribution.
This has in many cases increased expense
and made success difficult. At first the
people were aghast at n proposition
looking to restrictions on the use Of water.
They had always believed that water was
public property to be used a> the appro-
priator elected.

Base Ball Fixtures.

Base Ball Fixtures.
Once more the Lambertviles have
downed Trentons. This time the Clark
Bros. Team, champions of the Pottery
League, were the victims. The Lambert
vile Team played good game, and if it
had not been that it was an off day for
two of their good players, they would
have shut the Clarks out. As 1t was, it
was a very narrow escape. Knowlan
played centre field like an old veteran.
Trusty took care of third base in great
shape. Tom Thorne is a dandy right
fielder and made a great catch of fly
ball, taking it with his back against the
fence. Wolverton found the ball and
drove it over centre field fence for home
run, but through some mistake in regard
to the ground rules be was put out, as the
hit only entitled him to two bases. James
deserved the long and loud applause that
greeted him as he few around the dia-
mond. CoIligan played second base good,

than any player seen in that position this
year. Schenck had an off day, but there
is no doubt in the minds Of the Lambert
vile people but what they have a great
left fielder. Scott Thorne played in his
good old way. Hurley pitched great
game, and without a doubt is the best
in the State. Callan caught him in good
style, as usual, and it takes good bat
terry TO beat Hurley and Callan. The
Clarks played good game for four in
nings, but could not keep it up. Tier
nan, brother to the great New York
right fielder, played a good third base,
and in the seventh inning went in to
pitch, but Jared no better than his brother
pitcher, as the Lambertville boys had
their eye on the ball. Attendance about
1000 The following is the score:

Is the OShea club 1t was so called in honor
Of celebrated Irish patriot born in Carrick-

SO very few are found to be eligible for adj
mission that the growth of the club is neces-
sarily slow. In this city it has only six mem
bers, and they meet occasionally to discuss
any and every question of public interest
Their deliberations are not made public In
any way, and any action they may take In
regard to matters which come before them 1:
never made known to the outside world
One Of the members recently told, me that
though the total membership of the clubs
throughout the country was less than 1000
there had been very considerable sum con
tributed to the Parnell defense fund, as well
as to home charities. He also stated that il
would be impossible almost for any one tc
find out anything about the clubs work, In
asmuch as the members scarcely recognized
one another outside the club meetings, and
that no two meetings were ever held in the
same place. The meetings are called at the
will of the president. The local club i:
anxious to secure another member SO as tc
have an odd number, but has failed to find
any one who could satisfactorily answer al
the questions propounded In regard to birth
antecedents, habits Of life, and moral and
financial standing. st. Louis Globe-Demo

A young woman brought n ring to jew

the stone, which she said was loose. She
spoke Of it as diamond solitaire The Jew

to 1t. As the customer was leaving the store
the jeweler called her back and said: ''fhis

Excuse me, ma'am, politely rejoined the

"Buti was present given to me last Christ

think of giving me a sham diamond" the
young woman persisted.
'I'm sorry, ma'am,n replied the jeweler,
somebody's been deceived very likely, but
this stone is absolutely worthless; chip of
glass"
Well, the young woman argued still fur.
Their about the ring and insisted it was very
valuable, and at last took it away with Her,
saying that she would take it somewhere else
to be repaired. She was nearly in tears when
she left the store,
After she had gone the jeweler said to me
II did not want to hurt that girls feelings

having it clearly understood that the stone il

The following prices were fixed govern
ing the employment of labor by the coun-
ty the present year: Wages per day for
team and hand, $3.50; masons, $3.50;
carpenters and painters, $2.25; day la
borers, $1.50; horse, cart and hand, $2.25,
and ten hours to constitute days work.
These are the same figures as prevailed
last year.
1t was next ordered that the Sheriff be
allowed Is cents per meal for boarding
regularly committed prisoners, and 10
cents per meal for tramps. As they are
supposed to be too feeble to work perhaps
ten cents worth may be all they will be
able to eat at single sitting. The Sher-
if was also authorized to furnish meals
for detained juries, at 40 cents per man.
The same rules governing the Board
last year were adopted, they being con-
sidered good enough and safe enough:

"From your stories the other day about
Lord CALI Murphy, of Boston, " said young
railroad man yesterday zone would suppose
we had no men of nerve hero In our own
town, but can tell you that we have--lots
of them, too. One in particular recall Just
now. He is employed in Clark street rail
road office, and about every other day he
gets half-hour Off, takes a small package
from his desk and walks up to Kinsley's He
goes down stairs in the gentlemen's wash
room, unrolls the small package and takes out
u razor and shaving brush. Removing his
coat, vest, collar and necktie he anoints his
face with a creamy lather borrowed from a
cake of Mr.. Kinsley's soap and then carefully
shaves himself. When through he employs
one of Mr.. Kinsley's towels, dons his outer
garments, wraps up his tools and goes back
to his Office, where he takes out his expense
account and gives himself credit for fifteen
cents and room rent. Maybe you don't think
it requires heap of nerve to do that. "-Chi-

Education in South wales.

In New South Wales the regulations pro-
vide for the establishment of public school
in any locality where a regular attendance of
twenty children between the ages of 6 and
IA can be guaranteed. Free railway passes
are granted to children living in country dis
tricts to enable them to reach the schools
nearest their homes, and the railways are
very accommodating. Even in localities
where the population is so sparse that chill
dren of school age cannot be collected in
groups of not less than ten in each, arrange
ments are made to meet such special ex-
igency. In still more isolated districts an
itinerant teacher goes from house to house to
impart elementary Instruction York

Organization of the New Board of Free
holders.
On Wednesday morning last, at ii
O'Clock, the new Freeholders met In the
Court House and formed themselves into
the Board for 1889:
The Chair was temporarily filled by
Silas Nonamaker, of East. Amwell, and
the roll was called by the popular and
we'll qualified Clerk of the old Board,
Elijah r. Robertson, of Union. All the
members being present the oath of office
was administered by Judge Kuhl, after
which an adjournment for dinner was
made.
Upon re-assembling at clock, Philan-
der H. Hartwell was unanimously elected
Director, he having shown his ability and
worth as a presiding officer during the
year past. After the oath of Office had
been administered to him by P. A. Queen,
Esq, Mr.. Hartwell in brief but compre-
hensive address thanked his brother Free
holders for their confidence in him, and
promised to conduct the business to the
best of his understanding.
The Director then called for the fixing
of the salary of the Clerk of the Board
and for the choice of Clerk. 1t was
promptly voted to make the salary the
same as last year-$200-and Elijah r.
Robertson was elected to fill the position,
no opposition being offered The oath
of Office was administered by Mr.. Queen,
and Mr.. Robertson thereupon returned his
thanks to the Board in few we'll chosen
words.
For Counsel p. A. Queen was chosen
without opposition, and his pay fixed at
$40 for every day that he may meet with
the Board. 1t was then decided that the
County Collector should furnish bond in
the sum of 100000, and the old Collec-
tor Edward Humphrey, of Glen Gardner,
was elected. His salary was fixed at
81 900 per year, provided that the law
passed last Winter which provides that
County Collectors shall be paid no more
than one per cent. of the amount of APP
preparation does not affect this county, in
which event the salary will be $3.50.
On motion, the sum of $4,000 was
voted to be raised for county purposes
