An Amateur Wrestler.

A wrestling match took place last
night at the Fashion theatre between
Buster Rosenberg and Sheeny Roos.
The match proved very amusing to
the guidance. The first fall was won
by Rosen burg in min. During the
second bout Roos got a stranger on
his opponent and proceeded to put
him down, Rosenberg commenced to
call on Sheeney to turn him lose,
which after giving him some more of
the medicine, Sheeny did. Upon find-
ing himself free Rosen burg rushed at
Sheeney with the intention of smash
ing him one in the face, but was pre-
vented from doing so by his second
Sam Graves, who grabbed him and
took him to his corner. The referee
called on Resent urg to "come back
and wrestle" and received this reply,
II won't wrestle any more; that fellow
chokes," which was greeted by the
guidance with shouts of laughter.
This was Rosenburg's first match. He
was taken out of q kitchen about an
hour before the match and shown a
few points by Sam Graves. He says
that he has $40 to bet that he can
throw Sheeny the next time.

A FEW LINES TO BRYAN.

BY SHARPEYE.
q Bryan c., we welcome thee
A thousand times, gdess,
So put it there, artistic may'r,
For ninety days or less.
We always shake before we take
Our medicine. dear Brine,
So wonder not when digits hot
Compress that paw of thine.
We've Hoefiing in to carve and skin
Thy aldermen at-small
And put crimp in every imp
About the city hall.
We've Boelhauwe out to roam about
And chew the raglet fine,
While Oscar raw dissects the law
And casts it to the swine.
The court house new, tho out of
view,
Is growing in our minds,
Though whiskered Mack is going
back
On men of many kinds.
Opinions" rough are smooth enough
To work our city dads,
Who often burst, subduing thirst,
Their Sunday liver pads.
The city hall aud tower small.
Are yet in statu quo,
And people say they're in decay.
Age crumbled all below.
OF course Paree is fair to see
When viewed the days between,
So Bryan dear, pray tell us here
Bout capers thou hast seen.
We'd love to hear of antics queer,
OfmOrtals slim and thick,
So let Ter go, for people knOw
Thou surely art q brick.
IT'S said the dance in Paree, France,
Consists of reaching high
With dainty boots, ON such galoots
AS strike out for an eye.
70 doubtless know, now is it so
That you have witnessed eyes
Kicked from the heads of thorough
breds,
And scatter to the skies.
There's not line in this, dear Brine,
Intended to offend,
So putt there, artistic may'r,
And let's to something" bend.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

| nat the GcOptt Sdythk.
Times are not so distressing al
some people imagine. Under thu
auctioneer's hammer, the u. 3. mar
shall has sold over s. 900 worth o
neckties, dude hats, etc., belonging
to Crate & Co.
| Yet there is q strong current oil
opinion prevalent that the alien land
law will seriously affect speculation
and business, if it is not repealed al
an early date.
This law will be repealed, no doubt,
at the next session of the legislature.
Gov. Hogg is responsible for this
| fOOlishness; in his harangues
during the canvass he pictured the
evils of alien land ownership as a
great danger, which would result in a
| condition of affairs similar to that
| existing in Ireland. The legislature
responded to the governors views,
and passed the alein land law.
The people are growing FESTIVE and
suspicious over the way our county
affairs are managed; every property
owner within the city limits is com.
PEELED to bear double burden Of
taxation as he contributes to the
maintenance of the county as we'll as
city government.
The courthouse scheme at this time
is an outrage upon the taxpayers, and
it was entirely unnecessary, at least
for some time to come.
The site selected is not the best and
the price paid for the property en-
tirely too exorbitant.
And now comes the first chapter in
ment of day laborers to shovel dirt at
81 so per day.
These day laborers are selected to
become the pets of the county ring.
Little good it will do them q year
hence, when the people bring them to
account.
1t is theduty OF the county commits
sioners to spend the peoples money
in the most economical manner posi-
BILE, and it does not appear that the
expenditures of the money was at all
considered, but simply how they can
spend it to do the most good to the
ring.
Let the news be spread that the
county has big job on hand and is
paying 81 so for day laborers aud our
city will be flooded with alien labor
from the border.
The increase of taxation ia the way
of increasing the valuation of proper
ty by both city and county officials.
has had a depressing effect upon
property. There is such a thing as
taxing people beyond endurance.
Every one is looking forward to a
better state of things. but relief will
hardly come until it is had at the
ballot box.

FOURTH OF JULY COMMITTEE.
Winding Up Matters-O Organization for
the Columbian Year.


the Columbian Year,
The Fourth of July Executive Com
mittee met last evening, Mayor Com
stock presiding. Final reports were
made, and the very small shortage in
finances ascertained.
A vote of thanks was given Secretary
OF State Waite for the use of the Assem-
bly, Chamber. Thanks were voted Gov
ernor Leland Stanford Camp, Sons of
Veterans, for detail and stand OF colors
at the literary exercises.
1t was explained relative to the non
appearance of the Grand Army posts in
the parade that no blame whatever at
tached to Grand Marshal Sherburn, who
did all he could to satisfy the posts. The
difficulty was wholly due to Inability of
the Executive Committee to employ the
drum corps of the posts.
1t was voted that at the next meeting
there should be considered plan for an
organization for the proper celebration of
The Fourth on the Columbian ami
versary year, 1892, the idea being to
begin thus early and that permanent
organization be formed, and that the
financial question may be submitted pos
sIbly at the December election But it
was distinctly disclaimed that the pres
ent committee intends to perpetuate itself
or to be OF the new organization, but that
a wholly new body be now formed repre-.
sentative OF societies, business, military
and other community representative
bodies. A plan will be reported and dis
cussed next Monday evening, to which
time the committee adjourned to meet at

HOW ABOUT THIS?
A Proposition to "Knock Out" the New
County Liquor License.
Three of the Board of Supervisors
Arguing for Delay-A Sensa-
tton Expected.

Since the Board of Supervisors took its
stand on the liquor license question and
passed an ordinance which is calculated
to close out the deadfalIs and dives. it
has been a well-known fact that very
heavy pressure was brought to bear upon
three members of the board by the retail
ers, with the hope that the effect of the
ordinance could be eventually killed
When the board convened yesterday
the clerk announced that he had received
several petitions for licenses from persons
who intended to obey the ordinance-who
had obtained the required number of sig
natures, and who had filed bond to in
sure the board against their conducting
a disorderly place.
OPPOSED TO DELAY.
Chairman Greer said that inasnrfch as
these petitioners were anxious to get their
licenses, he thought it would be proper to
have a committee appointed Immediately
whose duty it would be to investigate
each case and report to the board.
Mr.. Black, however, arose and moved
that the consideration of all of the peti-
tions be laid over until Friday. Mr.. Jenk-
ms seconded the motion.
Chairman Greer said he hoped the
motion would not prevail. He did not
understand, he said, why there should be
so much delay. The petitions would
only accumulate and the board would
have too much work piled upon it.
Mr.. Bates agreed with the chairman,
and moved as an amendment to Mr..
Blacks motion that committee be ap-
pointed Immediately to consider the Pc
titions. There was no second to the
amendment, however.
MR.. BLACK EXPLAINS.
The chairman asked Mr.. Black what
object he had in asking for postpone
ment.
Mr.. Black said that he had been given
to understand that delegation of saloon
keepers desired to appear before the board
| to knock out' the ordinance, and he
wanted to give them chance to be
heard.
Mr.. Jenkins declared that he was ignor-
ant of any "knock out'i that was to occur.
but he was in favor Of the postponement
simply because he thought the board
would gain time by bulking the petitions
and considering them on one day.
Mr.. Miller also wanted the delay, and
after some further talk the difficulty was
settled by the adoption of motion to take
the matter under advisement.
1t is said that there is liable to be some
''fun" in the board before the present
session adiourns.

STATE LIBRARY,
The Trustees Transact Some Importan
Business Yesterday

Inc trustees transact some important
Business Yesterday.
The State Library Trustees held meet
ing yesterday at the Capitol. There were
present Messrs. Stephens, Green and Nc
Cune.
Resolutions were introduced and adopt
ed authorizing the Librarian to appoint
the present incumbents, Miss Genevieve
Green and Newton d. Perkins as clerks
In the library at salary of $3.50 each per
month. payable out of the library fund.
The members of the board and the Lii
brarian stated that in their Judgment the
revenue of the library was sufficient TO
purchase all necessary books and pay all
necessary help to conduct the business of
the library without taxing the people for
salaries.
From and after June 30th the library
will be supported and conducted entirely
from the fees of the Secretary of State.
Bills to the amount of S796 were audited
and allowed.
The Librarian was authorized to re-
move the wooden shutters from the
windows and place in their stead double
shades, similar to those which are in the
Senate chamber. This will enable the
employees of the library to keep out of the
sun and at the same time obtain plenty
of light.
Controller Colgan's books showed that
there is 81, ,167 IS in the treasury to the
credit of the State Library fund.
The board adjourned to meet again on
August 8th, at Pm
