ENDED IN THE FIRST ROUND

The would-be sports who wended
tneir way to Prospect Heights Monday
night to see the twenty-round glove
contest between Tom Harris and a GER
tain E. NJ Daniels, so-called champion
of Texas and other states too numer-
GUS to mention. wended their way
homeward sadder and wiser men.
Mr.. Daniels failed to put in an ap-
pearance and a young man named
Cooper, who is employed at the smelt-
er. undertook to carry out the con-
tract
The preliminaries consisted of about
thirty five-minute rounds of words, the
contest E!-oper of half a round, when
Mr.. Cooper took seat on the ground
and stayed there till the proceedings
were declared closed by Referee
Slater. After that it took two hours
to make division of the gate receipts,
consisting of 1872.
Those who had bills against the out
fit are still waiting for a settlement.

The HOLY City,

For this, the third season of Gordon
& Bennet's wonderful drama, The
Holy City," every degree of theatrical
representation has been made to ex-
eel. The allegory. musical, spectacle
and thrilling situations so greatly en-
ioyed last year, the large company of
superior talent, costumed in garments
of almost bewildering beauty, is
stronger and more brilliantly arrayed
and additional accessories have been
provided.
Nothing more dramatically complete
will be seen this season. and 1t is of
pleasant record that last years sue
cess being surpassed. Manager Begh-
tol confidently expects this engage
ment will be to the capacity of the
theatre. The Holy City" will also
serve to bring to our notice new star
on the dramatic armament in the per-
son of Miss Luella Morey. brilliant
young, emotional actress, that will be
seen as Salome, the daughter of King
Herod. At the opera house Friday

BUSINESS UNUSUALLY
GOOD IN THE EAST
Postmaster

George a. Baker and Miss Rosa
Kier came home Monday night from
a three weeks business visit to Kansas
City, Chicago and New York. where
they went for the purpose of purchas-
ing line of fail and winter goods for
the Arm of Baker & Biggs. They were
accompanied as far as Chicago by Miss
Minnie Baker. but as the latter was
making a pleasure trip she decided TO
return to Colorado from that city. the
weather being too hot to make the
Idea OF further journey alluring.
In speaking of the trip Mr.. Baker
said IL was more than ordinarily sue
cessful and that the firm would be
able 10 give. its customers some excep-
tional bargains in consequence. Every
I'VE found business first class. in fact,
never in my experience have / found
the merchants of Chicago and New
York as busy as they are at present
Trade seems to be excellent in every
line and manufacturers and whole
salers are unable to meet the demands
OF the market. which has been given
tremendous stimulus by the general
prosperity of the country"
Il; was terribly hot both in Chicago
and New York. and we suffered much
discomfort from the heat. which IL
was impossible to escape A good
many fatalities were reported from the
tenement districts as a result of the
almost torrid temperature. but that
there were no; more is remarkable in
view of the manner In which the peo-
pie live in those parts OF the city.
Thousands of the inhabitants of New
York city have never been of Manhat-
tan Island and do not know anything
about the outside world. and you could
not drag them away with a hawser.
They prefer to stay In New York and
undergo a thousand discomforts rather
than 20 into the country where they
might attain an independence"
New York is incomparably the
greatest market in the United States.
especially in dry goods and kindred
branches of { rade. and 1t pays the
country merchant to go there occa-
| sionally. as 1t puts him In touch with
all that is best and most progressive
In American business methods. not to
mention the pecuniary advantage of
buying at first hand.
"In women's cloaks and gowns New
York easily leads all the cities of the
world, surprising Paris and London In
that respect. Paris. OF course, is still
the center of fashion in feminine goods
of all kinds and New York receives Its
Inspiration in that regard from the
French capital. but by slight changes
in cut and in ornamentation American
dressmakers are able to give grace
fulness and charm to their product
found nowhere else In the world. Fem
mime fashion will continue to have Its
origin In Paris for many years, but.
unless all signs fall. II must ultimately
be transferred to New York In course
OF time"

R. L. Irwin, George @. Dunton and

pass, Friday evening, for the duck
shooting. After enjoying the shooting
and getting many ducks they started
for home. Enroute the wheel of the
wagon struck a rock and as a result
both wheels one one side were torn com
pletely off the running gear and the
whole party thrown out. Very fortu.
nately the doctor was driving slowly
and the party escaped without injury
except a walk home of a few miles
Through letters received here the first
OF the week, we learn that while Mrs.
W. s. Hash and Mrs. r. L Irwin and
baby, who are visiting in Minneapolis,
were returning from Saltwater, where
they had been for the day, some tough
character threw a stone and it crashed
through the street car window, scatter
ing glass all over Mrs. Haish and the
baby and striking Mrs. Hash on the
head inficting an ugly wound and
knocking her senseless. The a wa
stopped and Mrs. Hash was taken to a
drug store and a doctor summoned. The
lady soon regained consciousness and
then went into Mysteries, aud it was
some time before she could be Quoted
and taken home. We are informed that
nc serious results are expected to follow.
The party who threw the stone was not
apprehended.
