The Chicago Tournament. nicaco, May ~[Special Telogram to In spite of tho insufforable heat nd this evening, the attendance at yelo tournament was fully up to that of yesterday. Koapp seemed to have re- covered entircly from his illness of last evening, and® worked like a race horse all day. Prince kept right up with him, how- ever, and the two men to-night closed ex- actly even. It is undoubtedly going to bo a case of yory c inish_with an exciting spurt to end the race, und most people are mclined to think that Knapp will win, Keading, the soldier boy, worked like a major to-day and closed ‘up the gup nobly. Several experienced 'cyclers said to Tie Bre prrespondentthis evening that they ex- pected to see Reading give the leaders a close shuve, and there is a possibility that he may pull ot first. The amateur races were very interesting to-day, particulariy the safety wheel contest. The following is the score: Miles, Lup: 535 Reading. .. Morgan , Shock ... Bykers. ‘Special Telogram bicycle chase hus grown exceedingly oxciting, owing to the fact that by admirable riding Miss Brown has overtaken Oakes and bids fair to boat her home. The final spurt between the two loaders at the close last night was the most enthusiastic scenc of the whole race, and when Brown overhauled the fair Britisher the uproar was tremendous.

NorroLx., Neb,, May 17.—[Speoial Teie- gram to Tue Bre |—Govérnor Thayer and Auditor Benton, of the state board of ‘equal- ization, and J. E.

BeATRICE, Neb., May 17.—[Special Tele- gram to Tre Bek. |—Frank Reynolds, chief engineer of the waterworks at Omaha, and who has been in the business forty years, has been here, to-day, by request of the mayor, examining the machinery at pumping station. In an intervigw he says it is good working order, running steadily and with no pounding that amounts to anything. Ho says, emphatically, that the engineor is & good man, one who understands his business aud that he is keeying the machinery in good shape, intimating strongly that if he is dis- charged here he could readily get employ- ment at the Omaha works. The test of the filters is now going on, but for the past few days the filters have not been running, the agent of the same saying he would not allow them to be used on account of the unsteady running of the pumps. Reynclds says there is no reason why the filters should not be running and that the action of the pumps is all right. Now that the river 18 muddy, is Jjust the time the water needs to be filtered, and the very time the city wants to know if the filters will do the work proverly. It looks as though the filter company were afraid to stand the test. The mayor now says tho test is off, and that the filter company must fulfil their contract before the flters are paid for. Filter vouds of $10,000 have been voted for. The Occupation Tak Unjuse. Gorrexnune, Neb., May 17.—To the Editor of Turk Be: One of the most unjust and, T might say, outrageous systems of taxation, is what is known in Nebraska as the “‘occu- pation tax.” While the yourg man who has & littlo laid by through his extra exortions and perseverance to start a little business of his own, has this tax .to pay, he who enjoys the advantage of working on @ salary 18 exempt from it. Now, it scoms to me, ai- though my judgment may count for naught, that the first thing our legislators should strive for in this law-making, i8 to makea tax just and equitable for all. And it is any- thing but just that the man who works for himself should endure this wild system of robbery and he whose income may be double that of tho farmer should be entirely exempt. The lawyer and teacher pays none, but the physician must come up with tho ‘tax. The clergyman and mechanics are exempt, but the poor one-horse concern, with not a dollar hardly invested in his business, must pay almost as much as the merchant ‘whose busi- ness runs in the thousands. Now, this is far from just, and if such an obnoxious tax must exist fix it so that its woight must be felt by all. : A SUBSCRIBER. The Willis Murder Trial. Winoo, Neb, May 17.—[Special Tele- gram to Tie Bee.]—To-day the defense in the Willis murder trial concluded their de- fense, and the judge, by request ot both par- ties, ordered the jury to be taken to the scene of the shooting near Valparaiso, to- morrow, so that the case will be adjourned till Monday, when the state will introduce 1ts rebuttal. There 1s a sharp conflict in the testimony of the state and the defense as_to whother Greever or Willis shot first. The defendant grows more restless and anxious a8 the trial progresses. The prisoner’s wife came into the court room again this after- noon and sat by him. She looks almost as pale and care-worn as when she fainted yes- terday. Public seutiment as to the outcome of the trial is about evenly divided. The court room was filled to overflowing by in- terested spectators to-day. Thieving in Blair.

When the brave Stanley and his tireless followers were pushing their way into Central Africa, they came one day tothe bank of a mighty river. Footsore and weary they quickly launch their boats, and find rest and change in floating upon the smooth surface of the stream. Soon, however, the watchful eye of the great explorer seces unmiuv.uf(ublo signs of the near presence of a cataract, The current grows swift, tiny bubbles float by, The signal is given to land, and the party seeks safety on the low, shelving bank. One daving spirit, however, pushes his little canoe into the middle of the stream and goes resolutely forward, with the seeming intention of finding whether the river is navigable. In vain his comrades shout and ges- ticulate, rushing wildly along the river bank in pursuit. Not until the loud thunder of falling water breaks upon his ear does he attempt to turn. Alas, it is too.late. The ours are wrenched from his hands, the boat is tossed wildly about, a mere atom in the seething waters, and in a brief moment, which seems an age to the lookers on i; .is dashed to pieces against a huge 1bq lder on the very brink of & frightfil precipice. In vain our comrades are kindly warning us of our> danger. Our col- umns have often rmflrayed the fearful scourge that sul nds us. Often we hear the expressiof ‘“‘Is this fearful scourge more prevalent than in olden times?” 0% We say “*No.” x The recent disooveries of the micro- scope has devalu&ed»_\.ha real cause of 80 many terrible l#fiual and brought out the fact thak many of the symp- toms which are called disesses are but symptoms of kidneydisorder. People do not dje;because of the kid- veys ulcerating wnd destroying their spinal column, but, Because the poison- ous waste matter 18 not extracted from the blood as it passes through the kid- neys, the only blood purifying organs, but remains, forcing its way through the system, attacking the weakest or&un. he doctors call this a disease, when in reality it is but & symptowm. Understanding this, the reason why ‘Warner's Safe Cure cures 8o many com- mon diseases is plain. It removes the causes of disease by putting the kidneys in a healthy condition; enables them to perform their functions and remove the poisonous acids coursing through the system and attacking the weaker organs and producing a malady which the un- suspecting victim fears is, and the heartless practitioner pronounces,s dis- ease, because of his inability to remove the cause.
