many weeks Fremont will be an ex-
ceedingly busy and active place. At

will be erected within the next ninety
days. Our merchants who we're the

all the modern co%nvenienees and
latest equipments. All the buildings
are to be brick and one story high.

NEW LIFE ON BOWERY
The Old Time Activity Comes
Back to the Street.

The "Bowery" took on its old time
activity Friday evening and excite
ment ruled supreme from one end To
the other for several minutes. Busi.
ness ever was neglected and shops
were deserted while the excitement
was at its height. The activity was
started at the Arnold Hotel on the
south side of the street. A miner
whose name should be king" ever
II 1t not, stopped at the hotel for his
supper. He was a bit over loaded
D caused a disturbance. He en-
gagged the "help" in a''pass at arms'
ana was knocked down for his trouble
and then elected into the street. A
crowd was rapidly gathering but King
stood all at hey and none were so
brave as to tackle him. He was
master of the situation. The fellow
saw ''Bruisern of the Mendenhall
place and installing him for one of
the walters of the Arnold Hotel made
for him but "Bruiser" ducked clever
ly and was lost in the crowd. The
affair went on for several minutes be-
fore the police came to the scene.
Mr.. King saw the uniformed officer
and made a run of fifteen yards
around the right end before the first
down was called. He was up again
and made ten yards for the second
down in the door of the Bashaw Livery
stable. The officer and the rooters
we're fast after and the fellow tried a
flank movement with success. He
ran into the stable and to the rear.
He climbed out of the rear window
and Mace Hagan closed it after him
80 that he could not get back in again.
Officers and the crowd had played on
the wrong signal and the fugitive
escaped west through the alley to the
vicinity of McCall's marble shop.
Here he was held on downs and OF
ficer Parks was given the honors of
the game and secured a touch dowa
in the Sheriff place on High avenue
east, The game was as wei, attended
as anything that has been sprung on
shortrhotice in the Bowery for meny
weeks.
The second event of the program
was a foot race for a purse of several
dollars and the championship Of the
evening. "Button7' made the play
about being the best heavy distance
runner in the block and Red" took
off his coat and vest. ~Slow Boy"
thought it a good game and another
quiet looking ouffer, called Eaton,
from the vicinity of Keora, walked
out and thought he would see ii the
fellows really meant business. The
ace wea for 100 yards and the csndi-
dates lined up about a block west Of
the Bashaw corner Some one drop
ped the hat and the line was off. The
quiet fellow was la full dress but he
stepped out easily and nicely and
wasn't bothered much because he
started last. "Redn had a short
stride and was working fast but the
''slow 4guy'' came to the front and
won cut by six feet or more. The
gallery that witnessed this part of
the program was almost as large as
that which had attended the prelim.
inaries between King and his adver-
saries.
Who now is so bold as to assert
that the Bowery is losing its prestige
1t is still in the market.

EISTRDDFOD.
A Division In the Ranks Said to be
Likely.

A rumor is about in this vicinity to
the effect that all is not harmonious
in the ranks of the WEIGH Eistedd-
fod supporters and that there is con-
siderable dissention among those
who had thought OF being patrons of
the Des Moines meeting that is being
doomed in all parts of the state.
1t lie possible that q number Of the
old Oskaloosa Eisteddfod workers
will get together and prepare for a
Christmas meeting that may be held
in Abba. II there Is to be another
Eisteddfod, why not bring it to oska-
loosa, the natural and logical home
OF this Christmas festival.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Or Mark Twain Impersonated
by Mr.. Alderman.

"a little nonsense now and then,
is relished by the best of men, -
which includes the city council. When
the members were gathering TO take
action on the ordinances granting the
B. & w. a right of-way, Mr. Sinclair
came with $500 in gold in bis hand.
He loaned five of the ten $50 gold
pieces 10 Mr.. Augustine, and the two
gentleman took their places jingling
the coins. As the other members filed
in the "goid bugs" told them that
that was their share of the rake
of ; Mr.. Glaze fell in with the joke
and showed a fresh entry in his bank
book with the remark that he had
deposited his share. 1t is reported
that the new members Of the council
went into frances and had visions of
Tweed and Tammany; but they sud
denly recovered when the fellow
Bart owed the morey to called for it.
~
Burrell promised the members of
the city council a box of cigars il
they would keep the matter out of
the records, but up to press time the
debt had not been liquidated. After
the ordinance granting the use of
Seventh avenue to the B. & w. had
been passed Mr.. Burreil handed the
clerk another ordinance. Mr.. Leigh
ton read it through carefully, and at
the end of each section Mr.. Burrell
took occasion to explain the matter
more fully. II was noticed that the
comments did not ft the applause
marks, but nothing was said until
the reading "a finished. IL was then
discovered that Mr.. Leighton had
read the ordinance that had juet been
passed, while Mr.. Burrell was com.
Denting on the other ordinance in
tended to vacate an alley along eide
the Iowa Central right-of way.
~
Mr.. Baker was not thoroughly sat
isfed with the way work on streets
and alleys was progressing and he
took occasion TO register a complaint.
In the course of his remarks he sug-
gested that Mason City keeps its
streets clean by hiring a man to
sweep them by hand. Mr.. Wray
ventured to ssk him If he thought a
h md could be found to take care of
20 or 80 blocks of pavement sati--
facuorily. THAT depends retorted
Mr.. Baker, upon whether you hire
a man or a politician to do the
work"
But of all the dry humor of the
night, Mr.. Augustine sprung the piece
that moisture would not penetrate
He moved that the mayor, each alder
man and every city official, Including
the police, be assessed SO per head
TO assist in fixing up the park. The
motion was seconded by Mr.. Glaze,

MAINS LOWERED.
Iowa Central Improvements Neeessi-

The Oskaloosa Water Company is
compelled to do considerable work on
account OF the Improvement that is
being done by the Iowa Central north
of the city. The grade of the railroad
is lowered several feet at the point
where the mains from the river cross
the road and this necessitates the
lowering of the mains at this point
about 26 feet. To make this much of
a drop at this point it is necessary
for the water mains to be lowered
on each eide of 1.-THE track. A gang of
laborers is engaged in the work and
the work will be completed and out
of the way by the time the steam
shovel arrives at the point.

Venezuelan insurgents Will Probably

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, July
S1.-All eastern ports Of Venezuela,
including Barcelona. have been aban.
doned by President Castro, all Of
whose forces and resources are being
concentrated near La Victoria, which
is three days distant from Caracas,
and which is near the mountainous
district of Guarico, where the advance
guard of revolutionists under General
Mendoza appeared some days ago.
General Mendoza's forces retreated,
however, to join General Matos' army.
which was in the neighborhood of Ell
Sombrero, and advancing by forced
marches. Once these two forces ef-
feet a junction, 1t is expected that
they will take the offensive against
President Castro. The situation of the
government is far from clear, notwith-
standing that the revolution seems
lacking in unity and direction. Al
though there is much opposition to
President Castro he still controls the
situation and single defeat inflicted
to the revolutionists probably would
render him the arbiter of the coun-
try's future. The president intends to
leave Caracas for La Victoria Thurs.
day. The revolutionists have reap
peared on the outskirts OF Caracas.

after a conference with the president
at Sycamore Hill. .. -. ! =, s4} 41 :: 1
During the two hours. conference.
both national and New York state
politics were discussed, the discussion
quite naturally revolving principally
around state affairs. Senator Platt
briefly. but comprehensively, reviewed
the political situation in both the ma
tional and state fields. He already
had declared himself to be supporter
of Mr.. Roosevelt for the presidential
nomination in 1904, and he expressed
the opinion that, barring serious con-
tingencies, the president would be
named to succeed himself. 1t was in
this connection that he made the
statement which is quoted at the be-
ginning of this dispatch. Mr.. Platt
assured Mr.. Roosevelt that perfect
harmony existed among the leaders
and among the rank and file of the
Republican party in New York, and
that without debate, the entire Re-
publican ticket would be elected this
fall.

New York. July 31.-The funeral OF

United States, which was held here
during the day, Uas the occasion OF
one tof' the most remarkable demon.
&stratfons ever witnessed in this city
and led to collision between the
masses Of Jewish mourners and the
police The streets were packed with
thousands of Hebrews, the stores were
generally closed and every point OF
vantage along the route taken by the
funeral procession to the different
sSvnagOgues was crowded.
III, When the procession was passing
the printing press factory of r. Hoe
E. Co. .&on Grand street, on its way to
the Y cemetery in Brooklyn, the
employees of the factory emptied pals
of water from the widows of an upper
floor onto the spectators massed upon
the sidewalk. Pail after pail, it was
said. was emptied upon the throng.
which shouted and struggled and
stampeded in vain to escape. Then
overalls and clothing soaked in water
came down from above, and even tools,
scraps Of steel, bolts and dead cat.
The angry populace. most of whom
were Hebrews, retaliated by throwing
back into the factory windows the mis-
siles that fen on them. They also
gathered up stones and sticks and in
few minutes there was scarcely q
whole pane of glass on the Grand
street side Of the factory. Then some
one in the factory turned on a hose
and played it Unfortunately all over
the funeral procession. At one time
as many as five streams were playing
on the crowd. Drivers of mourning
carriages whipped up their horses.
trampling over citizens, and the
stronger men trampled women and
children under foot in their efforts to
escape.
The police in the meantime had
taken hand in the trouble and were
clubbing the people right and left.
They were, however, unable to cope
with the crowd and the reserves of
half a dom precincts were dispatched
to the scene. It was more than half
an hour before order was restored and
the streets in the vicinity Of the fac
tory cleared A number. of arrests
were made, among them being several
employees of the Hoe company.

Joined From Continuing a Corner
In New July Oats and From Bid

Further Margins-First Time Shorts
= Have Resorted to the Courts.
Chicago, July 31.-The ban of the
courts has been placed on the corner
in July oats. On application of Waite,
Thoburn. & Co., one of the firms
heavily short in the July option, a
temporary 9restraining order was
granted by Judge Chiltrus in the up
per court prohibiting James A. Pat
ten and associates from continuing a
corner in new July oats and from
bidding up the price of the cereal or
calling for further margins. This is
the first time in the history Of the
Chicago board of trade that dealers
who are short have resorted to the
courts to assist them in a dilemma
like the present and the injunction
came as decided surprise, although
drastic measures had been threatened
to prevent heavy loss. The injunction
runs against Darlington, Patten G.
Co.; Patten Bros, and Bartlett, Fraz-
ier & Co. Default on 100000 bushels
of short new July oats, law suits and
action by the board of trade are evi-

Cornered and unable to secure new
Julysoats wherewith to meet their con-
tracts the dealers who are short ap-
pear to have practically thrown up
their hands.
I'VE have nothing to do but to de-
fault" said one of the unfortunates.
"Those in control of the corner will
not sell, but tell us to go into the
pit and buy. If we should do so the
prices would 60 up into the clouds.
A dollar a bushel could easily be ex-
acted as tho receipts of standard new
oats will not fill our contracts
:; Three million bushels is said to be
the shortage in July oats. The great.
est part of this amount was sold, It
lis said, to those In control Of the mar
sket at between 80 and 4S cents, SO
there is more than Is cents q bushel
profit In the deal Tor those ON the long
side. Instead of the market collap-
sing as the result of the adoption of
a As cent marginal price, established
by the board of trade, July oats ad-
vanced cents and closed at 63 cents.
Indications were that the parties in
control of the market had become in
dignant at the move Of their op-
ponents and intended making the
bears settle all obligations in the pit.
Several hours after issuing the in
junction the court made an amend
ment so that the restraining order af-
fects only three seals comprising 35,-
900 bushels of the 100000 bushels
of oats, which the dealers who are
short cannot deliver.
An effort will be made to dissolve
the Injunction before the opening Of
the board of trade.
