THE NIMRODS OF OMAHA. | Bomething Abont Oitizens Who Have Made Their Mark. OLD-TIMERS LOSING THEIR GRIP, | e | The Crack Shots of an Early Day The Omaha Guan Clabs - Sports of the Field. [ Written for the Omaha Sunday P A meeting of the sportsmen of Omaha | was recently ealled at At 4 The hour named for the meeting was 4 tlock in the afternoon, and at that time about fifty men had asscmuled. They | all young men, and the way that lidn't get to work showed that they waiting for more arrivals. *“They're like the owls," finally remarked one of the young men, “and won't come out until after sundown.” The wait was im- patiently prolonged until the last rays of the setting sun cast the lengthening shad- ows of the hills over the city of 75,000 population and a ball elub with a misfit mascot. Then the prediction of the im- patient young sportsman was fullilled and the “owls,"’ the old-time sportsmen of Omaha, filed into the park in single order and seemed prepared for any bu ness that might be on hand. These old- timers form a distinet class, and their identity cannot be smothered by mixing them up with the helmet-hatted, tourist- coated, “English-you-know" sportsman of the younger generation. Omuaha has number of these venerable re- minders of the time when the location of the Athletic park was a long way out to i wreh of game, and when the atest skill required of o hunter was his feat of strength in carrying home the result's of an afternoon’s shoot. The Sportsmen club cmb: s the of these old-time sports in its i This club was organized 1860, and now has a membership of about twenty, among whom the most prominent old-timers are B. K. B. Ken- nedy, Dr. Peabody, John W. Petty, Byron Reed, Judge Lake, H. B. Sackett, Yank Hathaway, W. J. Kennedy, Al Patrick, Wm. Preston, J. J. L. C. Jewett, John-D. imball, Henry Bushman, seorge Mills, Will Krug ‘T'he last two gentlemen e the youngest of the memt nd be- long to the Omaha Svortsmen’s club as a nutte choice, as they desire to be awdentitied with the sportsnien’s traternity ity and stll enjoy a life of dream- less 1o as far sporting move ments are concerned. There are a few active sportsmen in the club, among them B. E. B. Kennedy, W. J. Kennedy, Mills, Petty, Sacke atrick, Krug and Blake, and their comes from an associa- tion with members of the other club, for the fact th . mecting referred to above y is proof tivity. There is reason for th isa painful one, but it exists neverthe- less, that the most of the members of the club have their best da nd are growing old. The eyes that were wont to sparkle and draw the bead with un- erring aim, are dimmed with age; the trained muscles and nerves that were once so prompt to obey the eye’s direc- tion are weakened and unstrung. The old can't shoot like they did, but they’il never admit it. ‘They take no part in shooting at glass balls and clay pigeons. They call this “*boys’ play,”™ urn_for the time when the Ne- uiries teemed with game of pecies; when elk, deer and ante- s thick as the real estate are upon the lands imme- djoining the cit The game ields have been removed wost, and the “owls" concealing their failing powers of marksmanship under the ery of “‘no game'’ meet semi-oceasionally and grow eloquent over resolutions eryiug for the protection of game. Four of the yet active members of this club, Petty, Pat- rick, Preston and Sackett, formed 4 team that won the championship of the Mis- souri valley and stood among the crack shots at the international coutest in Chi- CaZo Over twenty years ugo. hese old-timers, as they are forced to retire from the field, may feel satisfaction in the knowledge that their places are being worthily filled. There are two flourishing gun eclubs that embrace in their membership the leading sportsmen of the city and some of the best shots in the west.” The Omaha Gun club was or- ganized in Apeil, 1883, and bas thirty sportsmen on the list of active mempbers. Among these Frank Parmalee is probaoly the surest shot. He holds the state cham- Eiouslup. both on clay pigeons and live irds, and doesn't seem to be afraid of losing his honors. H. B, Kennedy and George Kuy are fied for sccond place, with Dr. Worley, Tom Cotter and J. k' Stout ns dangerous contestants. This | ing the emperor, | course club takes a hand in every sportsman’s event of state or local interoest. The South Omahua Gun elub was organ- zed in 1884, and has a memovership of twenty good shots. They have a quiet way of getting off into the timber in South Omaha and doing more shooting than the other clubs combined. At the state tournament in this city i June, John Zeller, president of ‘this club, secured the individual state champion- ship on live birds. F. Harmon and J. Harmon are Zeller's rivals as the best shots of the club. But all of the good shots who live in Omal re not members of these gun clu here is George A. Hoagland, for mstance, who is considered the best field shot in the state. P 8. Ensti id G WL Holdredge, of the B. & M. management, are game slaughterers of vepute, though they never appear in local tests of skill i ksmanship. General Crook is con- d a dead shot, thouzh he seldom uses as a pastime the skill he acquired for business purposes. Ezra Millard, J. W. Way,J E. Markel, John Knowles, Henry Howan, John 8. Collins, B. F. Troxell, E. Young and W. W. Bingham are also crack ficid shots. The tact that a day of ood game shooting requires a day's uruey to the scene of the shooting and the necessary preparations for such a trip, thus practically shutting out from the ficid of sport the average man of business, whatever his inclinations may be. The valleys of the Platte are the greatest game regions of the west, and richly reward the hunter's labers within their borders, where geese, ducks and Kindred game are found more plentiful than any place else in the United States. The country along the brances of the Union Pacifie north from Columbus and Grand Island tilled with chickens, rouse, ete., while still further west a few elk and antelope may stili be found.

In the first place the Emperor Kwangsn will order the d of rites to publizh n ediet in his name ting that the Empr Regent has directed him to “‘assume the superintendence of business,” and at the same time th partment will pub lish a full programme of the ceremony and date on which itis to be held. This precaution is the mor ssary as th proceedings are e intricat nd all taking part in them, not exclud- have to master their roles by heart. 'The inaugural procls tion is delivered before the whe and many of the provincial ofl can safely be summoned to the As Kwangsu's father is still living the usual ceremony of the emperor prostrat ing himself as his father's ulias, will ¢ be omitted and the exceptions position of the young prince nscending the throne after a long minority will lead to several other modifieations of the t ditional coronation. But, at any rate Kwangsu, before “ascending the sum- mit,” as the act of mounting the throne is termed in China, will pay his respects to his mother, the Empress Regent, and this will 1 far from n empty form when we recoilect how wisely und through what _eritical eireumstances the Empress Thsi has borne her share for twenty years in the dministration. When Kwangsu has ren- dered this agreeable tribute to his mother she will her seat before the court, and the plden chariot will be made ready for him.

Boston Herald: E paper reader no doubt remembers ant, though unsuceessful, attempt to save Gen. Gor- don from deathat the h of the Mahd but few know ot the haedships borne and the obstacles overcome by the Briti army in the Soudan. However, I will not attempt to picture these diseomforts and difticulties here. I will sunply re- late s cident of the expedition. The rce up the Nile was made in ecighty whale boats. Each boat was in command of a Canadian voyageur, and carried a dozen soldiers, with provisions for one hundred days. Sailing, rowing, towing and carrying or portaging boats from daylight to durk, interspersed with picnic meals of canned corn beef and hard tack, would be no more than a novel expericnee for a week or two, but believe me, it gets monotonous in less than eight months. Some of the portages were short, fifty yards to a mile: others long, from a mile to fifty miles. Over the former the pro- yisions were “packed’’ by men, and over the latter by camels, the boats being taken through the cataracts by the Cana- diansin the meantime. One portage, from Wady Halfa to Sar- Tas, wi fong that the British govern- ment decided to build a railroad between the two points. Fifty miles of truck ready to be d, engines. cars, water- nks and station in fact, a complete aiirond was sent out. The members of the engineer corps had not enjoyed a very large experience in railroad building, and were not furnished with the necessary appliances for grad- ing, ete. So nati men, women and chitdren, mostly the latter, were hired at a plaster (five cents) a day, to carry sand in small baskets and dump on the grade. When an obstructive rock loomed up in front, they never thought of blowing it out, but went around it. Such a thing as cullinfi through a hill was un- heard of, und the only way any large heaps of sand were removed or leveled was to bury a plaster in the heap and let the natives know 1t wasthere. Well, after months ot_hard labor, the track was all laid, but it did not reach Sarras, by any means. True, Sarras is only fifty miles from y Halfa, and fifty ni of track had been laid, but in sending out the material numerous curves had not been taken into consideration. The only alternative was to move the Sarras station down to the endof the track. This was done, and the “‘last spike” was driven to “Rule Brittanmia’® by the band of the Forty-second High- landers. E\-crfithmz worked right for a week or two. ut then, for some unaccountable reason, the track began to shrink. At first the end was about a hundred yards beyond the Sarras station, but daily the track got shorter and shorter till the end camce down in front of the station, and before fong the station itself had to be moved nearer Wady Halfa. This continued for some time, and, of course, the annoyance of having to move the station every few davs was very great. At last, when it had been moved Gver a mile, with no reason assigned for the shrinkage, an investigation was held. Engineers, brakemen and track walkers were examined, but with no result. As a last resort, a party took the morning train to Wady Halfa to consult with tne authorities there and find ont whether the track was moving at that point. The train was composed of a pussenger coa of the h compartment style freight car, a flat ear, with water bunts and engine No. 1. ‘The engine was a many years ago, and, 13 it had done er- vice in England, Indis, and at the ¢ pe, it was a good deal the worse for we r— faet, it was broken down on one side, aud only puffed odd nembers. It did not pull 1,3, 3, 4, 5, 6, ete., like our engines, but groaned out 1 8, etc., making a fearful noise. Two natives, with a nand pump, did duty as tors, and were posted on the top of the water tank, where they pumped for dear life. Well, all went on mernly for a few miles, and no important discoveries were made in relation to the object of the trip until a large cnrve was reached. The engine did not run very straight. The engineer was not at the helm, or else the extra exertion on one side caused the whole machine to forget to go around the curve, and the whole train kept on straight abcad over the desert, till the sand clogg: ql}hc wheels and brought it nd-still. investigation party were naturally annoyed at this delay, little thinking it would solve the vexed problem. The engineer and fireman came back and as- sured them that a derailment was a com- mon oceurrence, and thai they would soon be on their way again. ‘Then came the discovery. The crew of the train did not attempt to get it back on_ the track again, They simply put the jack serews under each portion and raisod it a few inches from the de- sert. This done, all hands Iaid hola of the track and drew it over to and under the train, let the cars down, picked uj their jack serews, blew the wh:stle, an olll' lhfy steamed. Having ascertained that this was a customary pi 3 and reasouing that t::" om%- creased the number of curves, the inves- tigators were not long in deciding that found the cause of the shrinkage. apital AN HOUR WITH THE FAIRIES.

It may be safely cluimed that a good animal requires no more room in the stable than will one that is inferior, and therefore a saving of labor is effected in lessening the cost of care and attention, it being as easy to manage the superior animal as itis to give the labor to the other. But the saving in shelter, room and labor is not the only item. As only the most approved machinery is used by manufactarersin order to enable them to produce goods at the lowest cost and compete in markets with each oiher, so should the farmer take advantage of his opportunities with pure bred stock and lessen the cost by increasing the amount of product. As the manufacturer ean adopt the kind ot machine most suitable, so may the farmer select the Kind of stock for his special purpose. While on many farms no regard is given the breeding or characteristics of the animals used, yet the farmer has it in his power to use cattle that excel in butter, beef or milk, and as soe breeds combine several good qualities, his advantages are not. limited, There is no necessity for devotinga stall- to a cow that yields only ten quarts of wilk per day when, by judicious breed- ing, the product’ may be doubled. We can point to special cows that have yielded over forty quarts of milk per day, and cows are numerous thut produce over twenty pounds of butter per week. Steers Lave been known to guin three pounds weight daily, rams have sheared over thirty pounds of wool, and mutton sheep have attained 400 pounds ’ live weightin two years, while the hog seems to have an easy time gaining a pound daily for twelve months. It'is not supposed that every farmer will be 50 fortunate as Lo _possess animals of extraordinary merit, but as long as such excellence exists the farmer should be encouraged to strive always for some- thing better. There is no middle ground in keeping stock. There must either be an improvement ora retrogression. The farmer who does not have some object in 5;;“' willtsla_uner o; later be ?': led to dispose of his stock as unprof 48 the differcnce between proEx and loss 15 n the animals and their management. The cost of improvement is, fortu- nately, but o small sum compared with tie benelits derived, as nature has en- dowed the males with the capacity of be- gemny‘lu large progeny.

An application of lye will restore to rough trunks and branches of orchard trees their original smoothness. Tar ought not to be used in marking sheep. It dries into a bard lump, which must be cut off by hand before the wool is manufactured. Honey of different grades should be kept separate. An inferior article put in with the best set a low price on the whoie. At the close of each season of bloom grade the whole product. Deep tillage of heavy lands is one of the surest safeguards against drought, for_it constitutes provisions for storing moisture 1n the place where it 15 most readily available for the support of plants. Bees do not work as well in a hive ex- posed to the heat of the sun. In midd: when very hot, all work on the inside such as comb-building and storing hon —has to be suspended. Sometimes combs melt down, and the brood dies in the heat of the sun. A good animal should be a heavy feeder. It has often been considered an advantage that an animal eat but little, but just the opposite should be desired. It takes a liberal supply of food and a zood uppetite to derive the greatest amount of product. Although flat turnips are most water, there is nutriment enough to make them an impol t addition to food for cattle and sheep, and it is therefore desirable that in a season of to the full extent of opportunity. Dow't kill your hens that moit now, as they will make your early layers, and also be the most serviceable in winter, as they will molr before the cold wealher comes on. Hens that do not finish moit- ing until late in the season seldom begin to lay until spring comes on. A strong-constitutioned sow, which is a good milker and will drop eight or ten pigs at a litter, is as profitable stock as 2 farmer can keep. One such will bril:!g in more money than an ordinary breed- ing mare with colts worth but $45 or #30 when weaned. The pigs witl cost less to keep to bring that money, and there will be less chance for loss by disease or ac- cident. Thrifty farmers will, however, raise both colts and pigs. Do not attempt to save your own seeds unless you have used nvverl' precaution necessary to prevent cross-fertilization. Plants often mik without the knowl, of the grower.. A melon may be fertil- ized by a pumpkin, and th the fruit of this season may be apparently genuine yet the seeds i¢h, 1f used next season, may cause a fdilare of the crop or else destroy the quality Mr. J.
