Teats of Strength.
One Of the most striking and effective
equestrian, ethnologic and gymnic feat
ures with Buffalo Bills Wild West, to
be produced here on Tuesday, Aug. 0,
is the world famous Sheik Hadj Tahar
troupe IF Riffiar Arab horsemen and
athletes. While their riding Is pictur-
esque and remarkable, their gymnastlc
ftats-nOt given in a carpeted and
sn oothed arena, but in the open and on
the natural soil-are inimitable, and
some of them even prodigious. Their
holiday manual Of arms includes the al
most invisibly rapid manipulation of
long guns, until they seem to be huge
pyrotechnic pin-whsels. Their head to
head balancing is a marvel of endur-
ance. strength and equilibristic skill.
It would take a mighty nimble pair
of legs to keep up with their hand
spring revolutions clear across the big
arena. They walk about head down as
If feet were of no consequence. They
launch themselves In high and hazard
Gus spreads and sidelong somersau!ts
over bayonets and sword blades, and
they climb atop Of one another with the
agility of monkeys, until nine of them
form a huge pyramid, of which one
Samsonian Bedouin is the herculean
base
And all the while they are doing all
these strange things, the very reverend
and ascetic Dervish Of the tribe is con-
tinuously whirling on a platform at the
rate of q thousand revolutions or so
per minute, until the bewildered audi
ence look to see him explode and be
distributed in the humming atmosphere
by the force of centrifugal motion.
There are evidently some tricks in
which the Wild East can give even
the Wild West spades and cards.

NO EXPERT PRINTER YET.
Board of Aldermen May Have to
Make the Selection

board OF Aldermen May Have to
Make the Selection.
The joint council committee on print
ing held a session yesterday for the
purpose of electing an expert printer.
Half dozen ballots were taken. the
vote showing three of the members IN
favor Of the election Of M. J. Daily. and
like number voting for o. Fl. Nelson.
Aid. Murphy raised the point that
the committee had, as a matter Of fact
no power to elect an expert printer.
The council, the Ninth ward alderman
contende, could not delegate it's au.
thority to any committee. and he sug-
gested the election of an expert printer
be brought UP at the next meeting of
the board of aldermen, and the matter
rested there.
Assemblyman Nelson, chairman Of
the committee, did not think we'll of
this plan, and the other members of the
committee, who had been voting for
O. H. Nelson, also opposed it,
The matter was finally referred to
the corporation attorney for an opin-
ion as to whether the joint committee
on printing or the council was the
proper body to elect the expert printer.
This opinion will be considered at the
next meeting of the committee, Aug II.
The committee decided that in the
future bids for printing would be open
ed before the committee. 1t has been
the practice of the expert printer to
open the bids and tabulate them, and
the committee did nothing but award
the contract to the lowest bidder.

he slept. Detective Murnane investi-
gated his story, and says he found
1t to be true. The other man between
Mccain and whom there is said to
have been bad blood was also absent
from the post until midnight, so that
there is said to be absolutely no one
to whom suspicion can attach. It Is
believed there could have been no at

money on his person, and his watch
and chain were undisturbed.
Capt Gerlach said yesterday that
the investigation of the post authori-
ties had thrown no additional light
on the case. He is inclined to believe
that McGann met death accidentally,
but finds himself somewhat perplexed
by DR.. Darling's statement that the
wound must have been made by some
weapon. Capt. Gerlach says the In

his direction until every circumstance
Is as fully explained as possible.

The report of Referee ]. c. Mangam, ap-
pointed to take the testimony In the case Of
A. ]. Diamond against Alfred S. Kit son to
recover sS7, was filed with the clerk OF courts

son, his wife, was appointed his guard an,
since when Kit:son testified that he had no
control of the $1,000 he annually received
from his fathers estate. This allowance will

10 of this year, when he will receive one
half of the amount left in trust for him by
his father.
When he is thirty years of age young X tt
son will receive the balance of his inheri-
lance. Kittson testified that he estimated his
share of his fathers estate, now held in t'us.
