SHELLPOT PARK.

There was another large crowd at Shell.

thoroughly enjoyed the MINISTRIES Of
Simmons and SlOcum's. Tho minstrels Will
appear during the rest Of the week with
changes in the program OF each PERFORM
anco. Tomorrow evening the Jr. y. v.
A. NJ, will give an entertainments at the
park. As this Is benefit for the order
the price Of all reserved seats will be ten
cents, This Is done so that the order can
realize something. Immediately after the
performance entertainment the regular
performance will take place therefore the
holders of reserved seats will witness two
performances for tho same price
The report that there has been an In
crease in the car fare to the park Is un.
true. The fare Is the same as 1t always has
been five cents from all PARIS of the city
with the privilege Of transfers to any
point. The fact that the performance
does not start until9 o'clock ard ends at
10 10 has proved popular, for 1t gives the
people more time to got out to the park
and allows them to get home:at:ths same
time az they did last year. The length OF
the show has not been curtailed but the
performances goes on without any inter-
missions or curt ain falls, and in this way
a good strong show, with plenty OF fea-
lures is put before the public. 1t IS con-
tinuous performance from the rise OF the
curtain until it goes down on the last act.
There will be d number Of unusually
strong attractions at the park next week.
In addition to 1t being trolley week the
performance will be full OF features. The

INDIANS CAPTURE A SAFE.
of Some Apaehes With $''OoV
Tn Their Possession.

Disgust Of Some Apaches With $''OoO
In Their Possession.
"Tbe Apache Indians had hard nut
to crack when they got hold Of our pay
masters SAFE" said the ex-serseant OF
cavalry who was asked about his expert
cnccs in Arizona. 'On this particular
trlp / was detailed with six men to es-
cort him. He and his clerk rode in an
ambulance drawn by mules, and or
course the escort were mounted. we
were in camp one night between two
forts when we were jumped by at least
100 Indians They killed two men be-
fore we got out, and Of course the am
bulunce was left in their hands.
1.-The payInastcr's safe contained about
$1,000 in grecnbacks. 1t weighed some
thing like 400 pounds and worked with
a combination. None Of the redskins
had ever examined one at close quar-
tiers before, but they all knew what it
was hauled about from post to post for.
and of course they were anxious to get
hold of the money. They first pounded
off the knob with stones, thinking the
door could then be pried open. 1t was
failure, Of course, and then they tried
their tomahawks on the chilled steel,
hoping to cut a hole in it. They had
seen iron softened by fire, and the third
move was to give that safe n three
hours roasting. Luckily for Uncle Sam
it was freproof. They threw big rocks
upon it while it was still hot, and it was
denied here and there, but they were as
far from the money as ever After work

where it fell for three or four days, and
the gang then returned and carried 1t to
the river and let it sonk for n whole
week. 1t was thought that this would
soften it up, and great was their chagrin
when batlled again. Then they tried
gunpowdcr, but knowing nothing of
blasting they brought about an explosion
which burned half dozen warriors and
left the safe IS good as ever.
1.-The Indians were fooling with that
strong box for month or more. They
roasted it again, and they gave it another
to get at the long green. They failed to
get at the inside, however, and in disgust
they tumbled it into deep ravinc and
left it. 1t was II months later that peace
came, and we accidentally got track of
the safe. An ambulance and guard
We're sent for it, and we found it lying
in the bed of creek with a great pile
CT drftwood piled around it. 1t was Il
lonesome looking old safe as you may
suppose, and nobody had the slightest
hope that the money had escaped fire and
water. When we got it TO the fort and
blew off the door, we found the $1,000
as snug as you please. Some of the bills
were little tender from the heat and
some had grown mody from the water,
but Uncle Sam redeemed every dollar,
and the paymaster was made happy
again.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

TREASURER I
HASN'T MONEY.
Council Will Not Get Its
Share of the Adams
Tax.

If the members of City Council
are counting on closing the fiscal
year with the city's share OF the
Adams tax in hand as a surplus.
they will be disappointed. This
fact was established this morning.
AT the last meeting of Council, a
resolution was adopted, requesting
City Ire asurer Curry to make a
demand upon County Treasurer
Rettew for the city's share OF the
money collected under the Adams
tax law. The amount collected is
$40, 44S.94, one half of which.
sS22347, according to law, belongs
to the city. Pursuant to the reso-
luton, MIR. Curry made the demand
this morning, but did not get the
money, neither did he get promise
that the money would be paid, but
on the other hand. Mr.. Rettew in
formed him that the collectors,
Mcssrs. Donahoc and Dickey had
not transferred the money to him.
He, therefore, could not satisfy
Councils demand. Andi is settled
that Mr.. Rettew will not receive the
money. 1t is we'll known that many
people believe the law unconstltu-
tional and in order that the collect
ors may not be held responsible tor
cause growing out of suits, the
bondsmen of Messrs. DonahOe and
Dickey have instructed them not to
transfer the money to any one.
They are therefore acting under in
struction, when they refuse to give
Mr.. Rettew the money.
The matter will come before Coun-
Gil this evening, when it is said City
Solicitor Conrad will be asked to
pass upon the right Of the city to
the money, which right embraces
the constitutionallty of the law.
