SATURDAY NIGHTS SHOW.

The performance given at the city
hall Saturday evening by Mrs. An.
ME May Abbott. the Little Georgia
Magnet" was fairly well attended.
None who witnessed the perform
ance were disappointed, but on the
contrary were highly pleased. Mrs.
Abbott is certainly wonder and
while some believe that the wonder
full power she possesses is cleo
tricitv, others hypnoi SIN, and others
merely strong will power, yet all
who witnessed her performance are
satisfied there il no fraud about il
in any way. \ committee of nine
gentlemen was invited TO 80 upon
the stage and assist NJ Abbott in
her various feats. There was MOI
one among the nine who could hold
chair while Mrs. Abbott's open
hands were upon il, neither could
I lrce of them push one end of "a
pole down to the floor while she
held il i'm let open hands. Each one
of the committee was invited to lift
Mrs. Abbott. but failed to do 80, al
though she weighs only ~ pounds.
Glare NcFadden did his best To raise
her from the floor, being told he
could have her if he succ, led, but
he didn't.
Mrs. Abbott performed several
other feats which were beyond COM
prehcnsion. one of which was to
carry Il pole across the stage by
merely placing her open hands on
it while Capt. Price was seated up
on one end and seven members of
the committee endeavored to hold
the other end on the floor.
The show was good one in evcry
particular and should the wonder
tul little woman appear here again
81 e will certainly be greeted with Il
packed house.

II is certainly "a burning shame
that this city has nothing in the
way of an opera house except the
old city hall. This antiquated piece
of architecture was good enough
once for all practical purposes, but
now, when neighboring towns and
cities can boast of neat opera houses
it seems to US that Baxter ought TO
have something better. If II shall
be discovered that none of our citi-
zens are public spirited enough to
build. a comfortable opera house,
then let the city council have the
old standby fixed up so that II will
look respectable. It.would not cost
a great deal to put a gallery in the
hall and put the seats on an incline.
After that is done the hall should
be papered and painted, after which
il would do until we could secure
something better. Let something
be done in the way of securing
respectable place for amusements
and then, and not until then, will we
have anything like good elbows.

FIGHT WITH PINKERTONS.
Big Daylight Row in Chicago
 Gambling House.

dInOllnS rouse.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-A pitched battle between Pinkerton men and the at taches of Harry Varnel1's gambling house at Madison and Clark streets WAS fought this afternoon during a raid on the place. Varnell's is one of the largest gambling houses in the city and was filled when score of detectives, headed by Mat Pinkerton. entered the place. The occupants of the place armed themselves with chairs and other weapons and charged the in- truders.
 Drawing their clubs the officers re- sisted the attack for fifteen minutes. and the air WAS full of chairs, clubs and profanity. Many of the combatants were knocked down and badly pounded, but none were dangerously hurt. An immense crowd of people gathered, at- tracted by the row in the heart of the city. The detectives finally conquered, making numerous arrests, and the Var nell people retaliated by causing the arrest of Mat Pinkerton. Varnell is ex-warden of the county poor house,
