MoitK Monkv Than Urains. On Saturday morning a Journal reporter boarded it train for a visit to the south part of the county. Going Into the smoking cnrlo en joy a two for live-cent cigar- he wan compelled to tuko u seat in front of three of those detestable beings who arc proud of the name "Dude." t was a matter of but a few moments time to discover that they were just turned loose from a certain college in Portland, and that they thought they knew more than any other per son in tho train. The News agent was standing in the front part of the car, taking In the situation and mak ing up his mind who lie should at tack next. And it took him about a moment to make up his mind, and with his eyes directed at tho dudes ho camo down the car with his arms full of books, stopping at their seat, ho deliberately took four of tho books in his hands, opening one of them he put a live-dollar bill inside at the same time staling to tho trio mat, lie wouiu lor one dollar sell them a choice of the books. At th s remark they all laughed and in concert said anybody could pick out tue uook unci eacn was anxious to win tho live, hut it was finally de cided by tho book buyer who hud tirst stated his desire to pur chase add he gave his good dollar for tho book, and opening It he dis covered that ho had got the hook that contained not the dollar hut n pieca of clgur stump. The racket is an old one and has been forbidden on all eastern roads years ago and should be stopped in this country as It Is as baa to allow this to bo worked on the train as to allow the game of "Three Card Monto", aud is just as dangerous to tho people who are not in tho habit of travel ing as those three dudes undoubt edly wero. For tho benetlt of this cluss wo will explain how tho' game- Is worked. Tho ugonc places the bill in tho scond book from tho top, leaving the edge stick out Just enough to be seen by tho one whom ho intends to catch, and in tho next book or tho one next tho bottom aud In the opposite end, he has a piece of a government stamp, and whllo talking to his victim ho manages to turn or reverse the books and the dude thinks ho has made a nilstako in allowing tho end of tho bill to be visible, aud anxious to get live for one he is uot long in getting his money ready aud taking the book, aud of course, when he opens It ilnds he has nought a book worth at tlie store ten cents, aud he pa; o pays a a, wlien uouar. oueii people as inese traveling, glioma oo put in tho care of tho conductor or sent by express. Almost a Panic Last evening about nine o'clock the tho bell rang out the terrible alarm of lire. Scarcely had tho alarm sounded until tho tiro department was out In full force. The tire was of little consequence, howovci. A small blaze fu tho woodshed back of J. 1 Stinger's residence was the sole cause of tho alarm aud was (julckly subdued by a stream from the Tigers. Notwithstanding tho fact that this was the 11 rut tho alarm Rounded In the city lor over three months, the cvcr-wutohAil Jlio lad dies wero on hand In seemingly, tho twinkle of an eye. When the nlarm was sounded the Colored Jubilee singers wcio entertaining a large audience In the opera house, and lor a lime it looked as though a panic was going to oc cur. Muny arose fiom their seats aud started for the door, undue vein! women became thoroughly fright ened. I to v. Itollius came to the rescue in lime, however, and stated that the llro was uowhuie near the opera house and no danger was Im minent, limine not iiitnow) theie probably would have been someone badly injured in iliu rush for the entrance.
