BELLA MOOIIB AT THE OPERA HOUSE MONDAY N1QIIT HUNGA- KIAN BAND AT dERMANIA HALL. FOGG'S FERRY. At the Opera house, this Monday evening, will be presented the well- known piece, Fogg's Ferry, by the Bella Moore combination. She is a sprightly little actress, with a good reputation, and we are assured that her support is admirable.

THE HUNGARIAN BAND. At Germania Hall, on the evening of April Oth, this celebrated baud will give a concert. It has appeared in all the leading cities, and the press are loud in praise of the.efforts of the performers. The Philadelphia Times says: "The Archduke Joseph's Hungarian Gypsy Band," which furnished the Star Course entertainment at the Academy last night, is an organization similar to the band which played at Belmont and the Maenuercuor Garden two summers ago. It is a double string quintette, with one clarinet and the cimbals.

The clarinet player is a whole band in himself and the cimbals, a sort of big dulclmer.fllls in the back ground, and it is astonishing what variety and richness of effect instruments produce. The most music played last night beside the characteristic Caardos and the Kacoesy t.he pverture to "Robert," which was played with a warmth and intensity amd; with a poetic freedom of interpretation very remarkable. These men play altogether from memory, with a rhythmic swing that is quite facioating, and in their own national mugip there is a suggestion of fierceness not entirely tamed.

You have been dancing to it so long, that like the Sage of Gramercy, you cannot whistle. Oregon 'Reporter. Going Ahead With the Work. The Dubuque Times says that the report in Dubuque Saturday that the Winona, Alma and Northern railroad was to be stopped, is without foundation. Mr.

Reynolds, the contractor, informed a Times reporter yesterday that there was no truth in the rumor. A cessation of the work was necessitated because the right of way from East Dubuque toward Winona had not been fully secured, and that the profiles of the line had not been sent to the but would be in a few days. The contract for building the road, which is owned by the Chicago, Burlington and Qir'ncy, has been let, and the work will be prosecuted as fast as possible. After Another Man's Credit. Quick work for Sheriff Beach.

Last Wednesday during the absence of Messrs. C. N. Hurless and S. N.

Brandt from their livery barn in this city, a tramp entered the building and stole a harness. Sheriff Beach overhauled fellow at Freeport, secured the booty, and brought his man to Morrison, Saturday night. He was examined Monday and plead guilty. All this was accomplished before the proprietors knew that, their harness was Morrison Sentinel. Not so fast, Mr.

Sentinel. The fact is that Ofticer Frank Piersol, one of the vig'lant Freeport cops, espied the tramp walking about the streets of Freeport, making an effort to dispose of the harness, and arrested him. At the station house the cop got a statement from the tramp, who was forced to make a clean breast of the whole thing. Then he telegraphed Beach, and another man, who had lost a harness arrived, and went to Morrison with the prisoner. Thai's how Sheriff Beach got him.

The direct conflict of the testimony is hard! to be reconciled. The prevailing opinion seems to be that justice was not done in the case.
