The Chicago company formed to
raise the wreck of the Maine in Ha-
vana harbor has been given the con-
tract. By the terms of the agree
ment, it is to raise the vessel at its
own expense, and reimburse itself by
whatever articles can be used as rel
les, and give the government 3 per
cent. of the proceeds. AS the esti-
mates of other bidders for the work
show that it is expected to cost not
far from $75O,OOO it will be seen that
the company must arouse a very large
demand for souvenirs, if it is to
make it's anticipated profit.

SOME FEATURES OF
BUFFALO BILLS SHOW

The easy unstudied grace, added to
the seemingly dangerous reckless
ness of the American cowboy in the
saddle, has always evoked outspoken
admiration and wonder. Added to
this there appears to be such per-
feet accord between the rider and his
horse, when the latter has been thor
oughly mastered, that would indicate
subtle understanding between the
two, at all times directing them alike
to the accomplishment of the same
purpose. As consequence, the feats
of Workmanship performed by the
cowboys in Buffalo b IFS Wild West
always arouse great enthusiasm and
win thunders of well deserved APP
plause. The object lessons they give
Of the struggle between horse and
man for mastery; the triumph of
and the bond of apparent friendship
between the two, can only be seen
and understood by visit TO the Wild
West.
THESE picturesque cowboys will
form al important part in the grand
street parade to be made upon the
arrival of the great aggregation in
Rock Island tomorrow, which will be
led in person by Col. w. f. Cody

II. +. Simon, the aeronaut who is
making the balloon ascensions at the
Watch Tower, filed his vehicle with
gas this afternoon and started to
leave this mundane sphere.
On the way up the big sack struck
against tree top and was torn open.
The gas rapidly escaped. and by the
time the outfit had reached an alti-
tude of 200 feet it stopped and began
to descend.
Simon attempted to release the
parachute. but the apparatus failed
TO work and ne fell the 200 feet to the

President Stevens of the local ar

ceived letter from Gov. Yates in re-
gard TO his failure to reach the city
for the picnic. The governor does
not make any excuse for his absence,
simply stating that it was impossib'e
for him to come. He says he is not
violating any promise he has made
for the reason that he did not make
any.

There were 10 starters in the foot
race that was run yesterday afternoon

A window in A. j. Lloyd's store in
the Harper house block was broken
by the crowd last night.
The decorations on the east side of
Otto Patting's saloon, Third avenue

last night, destroying the awning and
working slight damage to the build
ing. The fumes were extinguished
by bucket brigade.
A black African python snake.
weighing so pounds, was received by
express today by the proprietor of the
wild animal chow at Eighteenth street
and Second avenue. All efroIts to

ing. A special cage has been built
