SOME SENSATIONAL RACING Olosing Day of the Rondster Mesting Fur- nishes Much Exciting Sport. w0 D}:.AD HEATS IN A PACING RACE Bix Triala and No Resnlts—-Ebony Wilkes Wins the Unfinished Trot—Nicklo Plate Finds a Puarse-Trouble with the Runners. Thero is one thing, anyway, the Omaha Gentlemen’s Roadster club can be thankful for, and that is the exceptionably fine weather accorded it for its first summer racing meet. It is not exactly certain whether the acknowledgments are due Old Probabilities, the mythical genius supposed to preside over our moteorological affairs, or 0 Grover Cleveland, emperor of the United States. Be that as it may, Tnz Bee is cm- powered to extend them, and it is hoped that the rightful party reccives them. The weather is about all the club has to be thankful for, but there ara divers things that it may be justly proud of, among which 1s the fact that iv gave the best managed trotting session over given in the state, and ‘brought here tho speediest and most mag- nificent fleld of trotters and pacers ever as- sembled in the west. The weather yesterday, the closing day, was again as made to order. The track had been again nicely prepared and was in superb condition. The Kinney brothers, who con- _ trol the park, are desorving of every praise for their foresight i getting everything in shapo. It was their labors on the track that rendered the fast time made possible, and all the vlultlug‘ horsemen were lavish in compliments, The crowd in attendance was by long odds the iargest and most enthusi- astic of the week, and at one time became S0 demonstrative 1s to be absolutély disagreeable, that 1s a portion of 1it. They wanted to run the shebang themselves, but had to deal with a trio of judges who understood their business thor- oughly, and of course the aspiring clement got badly left. The Second Regiment band was again on hand and rendered another of its matchless open air concerts, eliciting salvo after salvo of applause. Altogether the finale of the meeting was in consonance with the rare quality of the sport furnished everybpdy, except the losers.

Flalshed the Twenty-Four Trot, ‘The first event of the afternoon was the fourth heat of the 2:24 trot postponed from the previous day. The horses were sum- moned to the track shortly before 2, but on account of McGuire's persistent bull- headedness behind Judge Redick's i White mountain cake, J M G, the gang did mot get off until on the tenth scoring, and mnot then until after Starter S: rt had warned him that he wouldn't stand any more monkeying. The get-away was a fair one, Ebony Wilkes, who had the best of thr start, leading the way the whole journey. Tip Tyler guve Wilkes a horse race for the the last quarter, but the Des Moines horse was too much for him and him in by half a length, ‘What came within an ace of being a frightful accident oce d as the trailers were turning the last quarter.

Page, Bot Pylo & Briges, Syra- Sensational Sidewheslors, This was a race for your whiskers, thero being two dead heats “in it and four more aced without a finish, Trelpha Burn and Jr. Mack quitting even, with two apioce. By the time this was accomplished night was rapidly settling down, and the race was postponed until 10:30 this morning. But for the story of the race. Tho horses got off with a good start, with Burn first at the quarter. From this point on the heat was a great race between the leader and Tekamah for the restof the dis- tance. They headed into the strotch for home in about even terms, coming to the wire in a driving finish, and passed under head and head—a dead heat. Newsboy and Dr. Mack both acted very badly and ‘were barcly able to beat the flag. Time: 2:35. As 's00n s they wot the word in the seo- ond, Burn at once forged to the front. Up the back streteh it was a neck-and-neck race batween the bay mare and Dr. Mack. 'Teka- mah kopt in close pursuit, but the pace was 80 hot that he “jumped up” and foll hopeless to the rear and reacted the distant line in time to see the flag fall in his face, Kid Davis, Leo Brooks and Kansas sharing a like fate. After another driving finish the Poot won by a short neck in 2:22, s very fast mile, but not so fast as ono to come. In the third heat with only three to start, they got away with but little dificulty and went fast around the turn. The race throughout was then very warm, daylight being hardly visible between Mack and Burn. Again it was a driving finish and re- sulted in a dead heat. Talavera, the dele- gate from Auburn, failed to got inside the bunting. Time: 2:20. With Only Two In. The pair came down in good order for the fourth and are sent off on the first attempt. At the quarter Mack makes a mistake and falls way back. When he settlea, however, he came again like a whirlwind, but the mare had niisiz lead on him. A second time he loft his feet, but settlea quickly and camo on with renewed speed, and by what looked like an almost superhuman effort, Tilden barely managed to land inside the flag. In measure, C. I, Halley, the dviver of Burn, was discourteous, inasmuch as he endeavored to shut an honorablo competitor out, which does not go among legitimate horsemen. A wrangle ensued over the ques- tion whether Mack really got in or not, but investigation showed that the judges’ ruling was strictly fair and correct. Time: 2: Tor the fifth they both camo up fast and got away splendidly. Mack had a bit the best of the send off, and having a rare gait on, took the pole ou the turn, Ho was first at 'the quarter, when he was guilty of a “jim town,” and the outlook appeared disastrous. But that king of reinsmen, Tilden, soon set- tled him and went right after the mare, who had shown symptoms of that tired fecling you read so much about. Still Mack “acted gain and gave the mare an additional Halley ~did not seem to take advantage of this, however, or else Burn was very weary, and the doctor settled d and, running fast down the stretch, overhauled the mare in a driving finish and beat her out by a neck in 8 Preceding the sixth heat was another pro- longed parley, Halley claiming that he had been unfairly dealt with, which, however, was & rank injustice to the judges, the cunning eastern importation adopting this subterfuge with the hope of bein allowed to withdraw his very tire mare. Finally, however, he was per- emptorily ordered to Jappear with Burn, which ho did in a designated time, and started in the sixth heat. 1 ack took the front position. and the mare was never able to come anywhere near reaching him during the whole miie, M winning by a half-dozen lengtns in 2:251¢. On the finish of this the starter announced that the race was postponed until 10:30 this morning. The summary (unfinished): Burn.. . h 2 Mack.. . .6 2 Tekamah. IKid Davis Lee Brooks, Closed with a Great Gallop, The closing event was a three-fourths dash and repeat, purse $200. The entries: Lagrippe, 5. m., Halley & Son; Mike Whitin s. g. 8. G.

", The thoroughbreds were restive and Starter Swigert had his hands full in_get- ing them off. In one of the scorings Nottie S's jockey was thrown, but fortunately es- capedinjury. Nettie galloped a hundred yards or so, then turned round and walked quietly back and was remounted as if nothing had occurred. They got tho word ~ firally _on cven terms, the little bay mare Maple Leafl showing the way, and this she continued to do all tne way, although Tell Tale made him let out an extra link down home. A large majority of the speculators in the sheds swore that Tell Tale was pulled, but that was only a natural emanation from a iot of hard losers. Tell Tale never saw the day he could beat Muple Leaf, and should have rested on his laurels after the gift he received at the judges' hands on the first day. Maple Leaf won that race beyond controversy, but the mistake mwade by the gentlemen in the judges’ stand was a mistake pure and simple and that isall thero was to it. Time: 1:1834. The second heat was a surprise party to the knowing ones, when Lagrippe, a 3 to 1 shot, jumped out and won by a good two heads, with Frank Ciapp second and Maple Leaf third. Time: 3:1887, “Tho third and decisive heat was not very blood-stirring. By understanding, probably, Grippe and the Léaf cantered clear round to the streteh neck and neck. As they ap proached the wire each put on a little extra strain, Maple's jockey using the gad vigor ously when o few yards from home.

Mrs. Mary A. Donnelly, a middle-aged do- mestic, was assauited, robbed and brutally beaten at 7 o'clock last. evening. The as- sault occurrod at Mannweiler's employment agency at 1308 Farnam street, where Mrs. Donnelly had called in search of a situation. Sheaccuses J. D. Etherton, an ex-convict, of making the assault. The proprietor stepped out while she was sitting in his oftice and left her there alone with Etherton, who also claimed to be look- ing for a position. According to her story the man made some improper proposals, which she refused to listen to. Her rafusal enraged him, so sho says, and he threw her violently on the sofa. Then foilowed a strugglo in which the woman knew that her honor was at stake, and she scratched and bit_Etherton until ho was compelled to give up his evident design. Etherton, it is alleged, then picked up a chair and pounded her over the head until it was a mass of blood aud bruises, and only stopped when he was frightened by the re- turning tootsteps of the manager of the of- fice. As he ran away he snatched the ‘woman’s watch and passed down on the Sureet in safety. The manager and Joe Miller, who had heard the woman's screams, entered tho room about the same time and found her lying on the floor in a pool of blood. They washed the blood from her bead and after a while she was able to £o to the volice station and leave a description of her assailant.

The resolution provided that when a petition was presented calling for tho paving of certain stroets, another petition should be presented thirty days later designating the material to be used. Tho city attorney decided that the resoiu- tion was proper and recommended its pas- sago. Ho held that such action would be just to the minority nmong the property owners as it would give them an opportunit; to win the majority over to thoir side if they could. Ho also decidod that the law did not necessarily require a petition in order to create improvement districts, Tho originau resolution was passed.

Upon the recommendation of the special committee the city comptroller and the com- mittee on public property and buildings were directed to purchase a police ambulance and place it at the disposal of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.

Railronded a Resolution, Just as the council was about to adjourn Councilman Saunders offered a resolution, ‘ which was rond and passed almost beford some of the members knew its nature. The resolution statea that inasmuch as the council had decided by a unanimous vote to sustain the judiciary committee in its de- jon not to confirm the appointments of St. A. D. Balcomoe and John B. Furay as members of the Board of Public Works and as the city attornay has rendered an opinion at variance with the sentiments of the committee and it being advisable that some adjudication of the question at issue be made as the mayor would appoint ono or more new members of the board on the firsy Tuesday of July, it was resolved that the committees on judiciary, finance, paving, curbing and guttering bo appointed as a special committee to procure counsel to defend the position of the city council.

This particular lawyer s H. C. Hitt, who has figured quite prominently in a number of questionable escapades during his resi- dence in the city, and who is also known as the Sullivan of the Douglas county bar, a title earned by bulldozing tactics which he has always pursued in defining the principles laid down by Blackstone and other text book writers. Friday is always known as divorco day in the equity court, and on that day the misfit couples gather around one of the equity Judges to pour out their tales of woe in an effort to convince him that the matrimonial fottors “‘gall” and should be rent asunder. Suprome Indifference. Yesterday Judge Walton was called upon to preside over the divorce mill in the equity room in Tne Ber building and among others who were there and who had discovered that marriage was a failure, H. C. Hitt, the lawyer, appeared, secking a bill from his wife, who is a resident of one of the eastern states. Tho case was called and Hitt, who was in a condition somewhat ‘‘emotional,” started to tho witness stand, dropping into the chair. Judge Walton suggested that the witness be sworn, to which Hitt replied that his word was as good as his oath and that so far as standing up was concerned, he was too tired. At this point Attorney Crow, who ap- peared for Hitt, threw some oil upon the troubled waters by inducing his client to stand up and take the oath. The hearing of the testimony continued for some time, Hitt answering some of the questions and refus- ing to answer others, until at last Judge Walton asked: “Have you been drinkin, today?” to which Hitt replied, *‘Yes, but don’t know as it is any of your d—d busi- ness." Aroused Judicial Tre. The judge isa quiet man and one who does not soek a row, and in order to prevent any trouble he remarked that the case would be continued until next week. That remark stirred up the ire of the pugilistic lawyer, who, jumping from the witness stand, brandished his fists 1 the face of the court, 8 : “You d—d old hayseed, I know more law than you do and this case will go right along, and it will go right along now, t00." 1iff Norberg was called and was told to eject the man from the room. The bailiff tried hard enough to carry out the order of the court, but as he reachod for Hivt that individual jumped back with a Corbett pirouette aud squaring himself said in a threatening tone: ‘“If you lay o hand on me Il mash you to the floor.” Norberg having no desire to be driven through six inches of concrete, drew away while Hitt walked out of the room, and for a time made the corridors ring with profanity and vile epithets which ho applied to the court. Becoming tired of hearing the remarks, Judge Walton in- structed his bailiff to go out and quiet the man, Although a small man, Norberg obeyed the command to go out, but tho quicting process was a hopeless ' task, and hardly had been commenced before Hitt re- turned to the court room and commenced to prance about, shaking his fists and swoear- mg. Once more Judge Walton issued a command to the bailiff, instructing him to mako an arrest and lock his man in the county jail. Armed with this authority Norberg started for the lawyer. The two men clinched and then broke away, Hitt running and jumping into one of the elova- tors which was just passing the third floor. He left the officer some distance behind, and, upon renching the sidewalk, startod down Tarnam streeton the run. The bailift fol- lowed him down thestreet and into the Mil- lard hotel, where Norberg said, “‘Hitt, you are my prisoner.” Eode in the Police Chariot, Hitt gave him the laugh and started out of the building, running plump into the arms of Officer Ryan, who battled with him for some time and until Deputy Shemff Court- ney came to his assistance. ‘The two men started for the patrol hox with the lawyer, who for a block or more fought hke a demon. Reaching the box, the wagon was called and, upon 1ts arrival, Hitt was loaded in and carted away to the station, where he was locked up and the churge, “Drunk and dis- orderly,” placed upon the blotter opposite his name. This morning Mr. Hitt will have a hearing in the police court, after which he will be brought befors Judge Walton to answoer to the other charges.

Ihave a lovor, a little lover Horolls on the grass and plays in the olover, Ho builds block houses and digs ciay wolls, And makes sand plos in h 8 hat Town lifo is not what suits children under five years old. But wo have to deal with thing as they ure, ana this includes many thou- sand children dwelling in a city with all its dangers and difficulties. How babies can be kept henlthy in July, July and August is the groatest problem their parents have. To prevent the great infant mortality in tbese three months has beeu the aim of all sorts of philanthrop, feeding hus claimed tho exhaustive re- scarch of medical men. They found summer diarrhea impossible to explain simply by the presence of heat. They ound that improper feoding in the sum- mer time was the principal causes of the awful mortality in this climate. A perfect substitute for mother’s milk,had to be made; an infant food that would be nourishing and etrengthening, that would furmish materini for blood and bone, that would be casily assimilated ané perfectly digestible.” Finally in laclated food was secured the combina- tion of the necessary elements of pure, healthy mother’e milk. The effiancy of nutritive quality of lactated food is today acknowleaged by every one. As a preventive of cholera infantum it is worth more than all the medicines in the world. As a strength-giver to growing in® fants nothing can compare with it. As a food that is eafy to procure and pres pare, and is liked by the little ones themselves, too much cannot be said of it It has saved the lives of thousands of infants within the last few years. It has been the food of hundreds of babies who have never been sick. Above is the picture of the one-year-old child of Mrs, Edward Newcom of Logansport, Ind., which was re: ved the other day, ace, companied by the following letter from Mrs. Newcom: “Our baby had to use artificial food on account of no nurse.
