The back driver, Michael ‘Taft, states thift bo did vot see or hear the hose cart nntil they were so close he cou'd not tuen out, - 48 his team was very unruly on account of the noise and fireworks. He saw the hose cart when they were nearly on him, and whibped up his horses, but before he could get out of the way the huck was struck. ‘he door of the huck was broken, the glass at the side of the frout seat was Smashed, and a small hole was knocked w the back of the driver's seat.

Omaha Tougns, When the heathen Chinee first struck Omuha he was bullyragged and bull- dozed 1n a way that was bad, and the bulldozing was not all done by young hoodlums, either. There were a dozen or more'young men who vsed to and hunt for a row with **John,” i he wus on the street for an evening he was sure to get hurt, In theso days the Chinaman fights back, but in those early days ha would do aimost anything for peacé, Three or four of us had a convention one day,and the sense of the meeting was that tho celestial should bo protectéd. As a first step we sent up to Chicaga for w middle-veight prize fighter name Kd Horne, and when he reached Omaha. we had our plaus all laid. ‘We got himvthe proper *togs” to play Chinaman in, used & little art in getting up his face and providing him a queue, and when he started out for a stroll oue summer ‘evening he was as natural looking a Chinaman as ever walked the streets, It wasn't long béfore the boys got after “John” and he purpusely led them to aretired location, says the New York Sun. 'fhen he turned on the crowd and piled a dozen fellows in a heap and went off about his business. There was: great nstomshment and in- dignation at the heathen’s audacity, and next day six lusty young fellows were appointed to “*do him bad” in case he appeared on the streets ugain. He was out next morning, and when the delegates attempted to rush him they were made weary. The report then got out thata fighting John bad steuck town and soveral scrappers got after him, to goet the worst of 1t aud declure that he was a phenomenon. - After the fort- night for which we had hired him our “pug” refused to make a vew engage- ment, explaiving: “Gents, [ have smashed three knuckles, broken one finger. and lamed my shoulder perhaps for life. Ihuve “done up”’ over thirty fellows for you suying nothing of those who got away. and, although you ave very kind and I want to be courteous, you must let me off.’ There was really no need for his fur- ther services. ‘‘Jobn” was on topin that town for the next , and even to this day the legend of the fighting Chinaman is move or less a projection of the race.” R He Repented the Question, Pittsburg Chroniele: **Champagne,” ordered the young man from Squedunk, “Extra dry?” asked the waiter. “Well, I don’t know as it is any of your business how dry I am, young man.

Russell Sage Secs it Swaeping Over the Whole Country. NEW Youx, Scpt. 4. —[Special Telogram to Tne Bre. ]—Russell Sage gives the following explanation of the current advauces in the stock market: ‘‘There is no doubt but that this advauce 18 caused by the favorable con- dition of the country. It is no mere specula- tive spurt. You seo we have been passing through a period of unusual depressiou in values. This has been caused in a great measure jby the overbuilding of railroads. These have been built in advance of their paying power,but in time to meet the growth of population'and business. We are promised this year the largest crops ever raised in this country. When these are gathered and sold, it means wealth to the farmers,and the transportation of them to market means prosperity to- the railroads. And when these two industries are prosperous, all-nther industries are bene- fited. Then, again, the wiser management. of railroad interests recently beguu has its effects. The inter-state commerce law, which was so littlo understood at first, ren- ders 1t possible to adjust differences and dis- putes in a lawful, sensible and business-like manner, and reinoves one of the drawbacks to prosperity. Added to this, our financial situation is such as to give confidence. Wo have a larger busis for security than ever before.. We forget that the treasury is troubled to find storage room for its silyer. Some might say this meant silver inflation. 1 won't 8top to argue that point now. 1 am satisfied to leave the silver question as it is now. Congress has not gone too far in its silver legislation. Personally, 1am a bi- metalist, and I believe in protection for the products of this country. Silver is now one of our products. We have always used it as a curreucy. We-can well afford to let well enough alone did 8till continue a conserva- tive use of silver, © I have great confidence that we are on' tha'upward turn of improve- ment, and that thé present market oniy re- flects that confidence which is the commence- ment of what jlll ultimately be a higher plane of values fn all properties that have a record. l’sm! hathing to clieck the present movement forf y4ar or more.” ARPr Adyide to Mothers, Mrs, Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should alwa§s 'be used for children teething.

A slender, sparely built man, well along in years, with long. yellowish white hair that lay on his shouldars in curls, sat for along time yesterday after- noon in front of the Leland hotel, writes a correspondentiof the Chicago Tribune. He was dressed in black, mederately well worn and not of the latest cut. At his throat a loose white scarf was negli- gently caught over a diamond collar button. On one of his fingers glistened a large, brilliant yellow diamond that was in strange contrast to the seamed and tanned hand. In speaking of home in California, he said: “It te! restial paradise. Ishalllive there unt;: I die. Youknow I wentthere by almost an accident, but, it has brought” me sat- i ion and even fortune, for I am a rich man at lgst. Three years ago, when I went uu& to California with Col- onel Howard and Mr.Sutro, we arranged to plant a little island off San Diego with trees. We had hardly done so when fire killed them. Then I went to San Francisco and bought my little tract of ground in the mountains. It is two miles from Oakland, and 750 feet above the ocean. For 200 acres I paid from $50 to $75 per acre, and now they want to buy it for town lois, Iamreally rich, but [ have worked hard,” and the west- ern poet glanced at his hardened hands, ““t is my philosphy, It is the founda- tion of my latest and longest work, ‘The Life of Christ.” He breaks least commandents who lives by the sweat of his brow.

Carwes Crty, Ta:, Sept. 4.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee.]—There has been consid- eraple excitement in this city for the past fow days. Tuesday morning & report was set in circulation that Agnes, agad fourteen, daughter of William Elwell, had commiited suicide by drowning, and » noto lef by her on the gate post was subsequently found in which she said she was going tocommit sui- cide, and told where in the river her hody might, be found. Search wus at once insti- tuted, but it proved fruitless. Parties then scoured the woods, working far into tho night, but no tidings could be found. 1In the morning some parties south of town found the missing girl at A. Andrews’, attired in boy's clothing, and closely resembling one of the strongersex. She gave as an excuse for her curious actions that her parents ill- treated her. A Collision at Des Moines. Des Morxes, In., Sept. 4.—|Special to Tue BE ho first fatal accident that ever ocourred on the Rock Island road in bundling the passenger traflic between this city and the state fair occurred to-day. A passenger train on the Rock Island collided with a freight on the Northwestern road, where the two lines cross in the eastern part of the city. Dudlsy Allen, the fireman on the Northwestern engine, was caught be- tween the framo of the engine and tank and frightfully crushed. There wore two flug- men to watch the crossing, but by some mis- understanding the two engines were not stopped in time to prevent @ collision, Tho compiny has handled a miilion and'n half people during state fairs in tho last eleven years, and this was tne first fatal accident during that tine, The Short Line Checkmated. Stoux Crry, In., Sept. 4.—[Special to Tug Beg.]—A most serious difMiculty has arisen for the ‘so-called “Pugific Short Line,” or Sioux City & Ogden, which is being built west: from here. The first section of 125 miles has been graded and bridged ready for laying the track. The ties and iron have been arriving here in large quantities for some time. As the charter for the bridge built by the Chicago & Northwestorn across the river here stipulates that all roads shall have access to and use of the bridge upon paying a reosonable toll, the same to be fixed by the secreeary of war in case of disagree- ment, the plan of the Pacitic Short Line was to make connection on the Nebraska side of the bridge, and to ship materials over their own track as construction progressed. So the Short Line graded its trackway up to a con nection with the bridge at the foot of the Nebraska approach. There the Chicago & Northwestern exploded a bomb, sending word to the Short line authorities: *‘Yon can use the bridge according to the terms of the charter, but a different arrangement must be made before you touch our ap- proaches.” The distinction is obvious. 1t is practically impossible for auother compa to gel over the bridge save by using the Chi- cugo & Northwestern approach. But uble lawyers say that the terms of the charter ap- ply only to the bridge structure, not to the approach. The aemands of the Chicago & orthwestern for use of the approach are so exorbitant as to be probibitory. The Short Line is checkmated. Its manugers are as yet unable to decide ou acourse. To wait for a congressional action amendatory of the bridge charter 18 no remedy. But as the case stands they cannot get a pound of iron or a crosstie upon their line across Northern Ne- braska without paying a ruinous tribute to the Chicago. & Northwestern. There is in- tense indignation here at the course of that corporation, The Conductors’ Building. Siovx Crry, Sept. 4.—[Special to Tum Brk]—The so-called railway conductors' building, for the location of which there was such an exciting rivalry among Codar Rapids, Des Moines and Sioux City befora the annual convention of the Conductors' Brotherhood at Denver, will not be bullt nor begun this year. Sioux City secured the location of the building by a douation of 15,000 and othier gifts, and there was expec- tation that the foundations would be put in this fall. But Secretary W. P>. Daniels, of the Conductors’ Brotherhood, has writlen & lotter saving that only a small fraction of tho stock has beon subscribed by members. Subscription is entiroly voluntary, but the whole amount of stock must be subsoribod vofore the building is begun. There has been a wranglo over tho location of the building. Some of the brotherhood are de- cidedly opposed to the location selected, as it is remote from the business part of the oity. It is a question whether the conductors’ building will be built. Asked to Foot the Bl Sroux Crry, Sept. 4.—[Special to Tur Bee.)—J. V. Mahonay, Sioux City Jobbers' and Manufacturers' as soclation, makes a public statement which causes quite a flutter here, He says that when the delegation of Kansas City business men vi lic reception, and_otherwise were quite roy- ally entertaned, But soon after the visitors returnod home they received a bill from tue hotel where they had been banquoted, tho bill being returned with the answer that the uests wou'd pay it if the hosts did not. Mr, Mahoney says there are 2,000 worth of bils stacked nway in his ofce, and no provision is made to pay them, and that he has had an- noyance enough. Drogeists Up In Arms, Croar Ravins, Ta., Sept. 4.—| egram to Tus Bre,]—The Linn county Phat- maceuticni society pledged themselves in their regular mooting here to aid the domo- cratic parly this fall, if that part; platform, would declare in favor of amend- ing the pharmacy law. The clauso requiring them to give bonds for £1,000, and to secure the names of a majority of the freeholders of their ward on their petitions for permits 10 sell liquor for medicinal purposes, with many ko requirements, is as distasteful to thém, and they have resolved to vote the re publican ticket in body. Otuer similar county organizations will follow, and the matter is to be made a state uffair. The State Fair. Dis Moixes, In., Sept. 4.—[Special Tele- gram to e Bex.|—Tho attandanco at tho state fair thi$ morning was very large and promised to exceod ull records, but rain be- gan about 2 o'clock and fell till night, The races consequently were very poor, and only made to keep up the programme. It is clear to-night, and the autendance to-morrow promises to be the gceatest in the history of tho fair. The city is illuminated to-nisht with fire works, and a part of the military programme of the Seni Om Sed carnival is being carried out. A H S THE LADY SMILED. The Saturday afternoon train at Point Tiburon was crowded as usuai and peo- ple were streaming through the cars in the hurried search for vacant seats. Little Mr. Tom N. Oddy, who was just starting out on his two days’ vacation knew there would be this rush was among the first to scamper off the boat, clamber into the necarest coach and pre-empt the best middle seat on the shady side of the car. Then, after the miserable fashion of his kind, he prozeeded to cover the entire seat with himself, his overcoat, his cune and his val This exercise of plished, he drew an e his pocket and pretended to be absorbed in the buse ball reports. As he read, however, he could not help being con™ scious of a p istent shadow that fell the sheet. Other shadows went and backward like jostling silhouettes, but this one stayed. out of the corner of his right e saw a small, black-gloved hand upon the top of the seat just where his overcoat lay, and then, curiosity leading him further afield, he glanced still more. and found that the hand belonged to one of the most charming women it had ever been bis undeserved good fortune to_see. Her face was ratier pale, almost sal- low, indeed, but lit up by a pair of great black eyes that were luminous as a child’s and as gentle s a doe’s. The nose was short, straight, but rather too stout; the mouth full and red, with a provoking little droop to the lower lip, and the chin wasround and slightly double. The eyebrows were heavy and the hair was black, with a copper tint at the edges. The dress was black, re- lieved by three g damask roses at the bosom, and so draped show, with some degree of accu alithe, but well-rounded figura. It may be repeated that little Tom N. Oddy felt that he b fora seen so bewitching a ¢ ure, and when she looked at him in a pleading. timorous way. and asked in a low voice if *‘this seat was enganged,” he his things out, of the way with a movement and declared himself to be delighted to be able to say it was not. She thanked him with a little [altering smile and sat down, She was unprovided with current lit- ature, and so little Mr. Tom N. Oddy as the first advance towards his wermined plan of making himself agre able, offered her part of his paper. this sho stiffened somewhat, then pr tily declined the offer, saving that it hurt her eyes to read on the train. As she said 0 she turned those beautiful orbs of hers upon the young man, and just to show that he knew what was proper under the circumstdncos he re- plied that 1o book or paj that had yet been writton was worth spoiling those 3 w up the lids a lit- tie more at this, then smiled again and lifted her shoulders in something very noear o shrug., Little My, Tom Oddy observed this a véry observing young mun rded the remark that she was guer.

He did not mind it when he was with the “fellows” who earned their living in the same *‘state of life,” but at prosent, when he was deeply possessed of the necessity of making au impression upon this beautiful crenture, he felt that the topic was one that ought to be changed as speedily 88 possible.

Oddy's arm; “I do believe wo are going through a tunnel.'” There was no doubt about it, and with another toot the engine plunged into & iong, black hole. A wild, wicked hope lenped up in little M. Tom N. Oddy’s littie mind, but it only livéd a moment, for thera,directly over the nextseat,was hung a lighted lamp, It only burned dimly, and the light it gave out in the blackness of the tunnel was vory fuint, but it was quite enoug to stay lit- tle Mr. Tom N. Oddy from doing the desperato thing he had contemplated. He could see the pale outline -of her face and two Lustrous spots which showed where her eves were glenming, bur 8o, too,he could see the oval of thut fellow’s face across the way, and was very sufe that the upper half of that oval, just where it*was cut by the dark line of the hat brim, there were two other eyes which were fixod v porsistently * in his direction. There was no use trying to talk against the roar of the tunnel, but when they were clear of it and in the light once more, little Mr. Tom N. Gddy gave vent Lo his feelings by say- ing “Confound that lamp!” “Why? Does it smoke!” sho asked. with gentle solivitude in both her look and tone. **No,” he said; “but il it had not heen 1it the ear would bave been dark in tho tunnel, and then—"" “Then what?” “Well, one is o much bolder in the <,” he replied, with Machiavellian evasivencss. “Don’t you in thel 1 | think you are bold enough " she nsked, with captivat- " he answered. There was a short silence, during which little Mr. Tom N.
