OMAHA HAS SOME SMART WHIPS Sprightly Loeal Organization Which is Designed to Give the Ponles a Chance=What the Fue tuse Promises. In no way does Omaha live up to its rep- utation as a cosmopolitan center more than with its horses. The number and grade of horses always form a more or less accu- rate Index to the general character of a city and to the tastes and styles of its inhab- \tants. Judging from this basis, Omaha ranks high. Roadsters, hackneys, coach horses and cobs abound, and then there are some fine track animals. There are still left many old horsemen whom neither the wiles of the bicycle nor the exhilarating capriciousness of the auto- mobile have been capable of winning from their first and only loves, and these men continue to own and drive good stock. They have no falth in the trite prediction that soon horses will be used only for draft purposes and later will disappear almost | altogether. They belleve that tbe fact that both the speed and the blood of horses is being constantly improved that this| animal is to be a joy forever. No organization is more fervent in fts championing of the cause of horses nor more ardent in Its promotion of their propagation than the Gentlemen's Roadster club of Omaha. This body of ribbon push- ers is composed of men who never swerve in thelr loyalty, and who by their example lead others to share in their love of horses. Their matinee meets are the best of high grade and clean sport, and bring out all the crack local talent in competition. And now the Omaha Jockey club will cclipse all else with a grand meet to be held in this city during the last week of June, from the 25th to the 29th. That means just five days of racing, and it will all be running matches. Horses are ex- pected from all over the country, and they are already signing from St. Louis, Cin- cinnatl and other speed centers. The week chosen comes just between the races at Joliet, 111, and those at Washington park, and that assures a fine string of entries here, for there will be nothing else for horses to do that week, and all the fast ones will be close and handy to Omaha. Thomas Dennison, as president of the Omaha Jockey club, will engineer the deal, and J. A. Tuthill is handling the corre- spondence, entry work and financial end of the meet, since he is secretary and treas- urer. Buck Keith will be superintendent of the track. Two great derbles will be run, one on the first day, Tuesday, and one on the day be- fore the last or Friday. One thousand dol- lars has been set aside for these two events alone, 80 each derby will be for $500. Then there will be five races a day, ranging in length from a few furlongs to a mile and @ quarter. Both derbies will be for the latter distance. It is certain that great things aro in store for the horse lovers. REVIVAL OF WHEEL ®PORT Down Business. Bicycling, like most of the other old and tried pastimes and sports, seems to be advancing on the crest of popularity's fickle wave again after a season of decline. The spring opened up with an increased demand for vehicles of this nature, and cycle stores are better stocked than ever before, Part of this access Into favor may be traced to the fact that women are riding more again. Last year they were rare customers, but now they aro purchasing right and left. Again, many older men have finally be- come reconciled to the wheel and have grown to_appreclate its good points. They are now buying them as a means of pleas- ure and exercise. Lastly, the old wheelmen, those who were devoted to the game and who have rldden many a race, are coming back to their old favorite tin horses. For the last two years this class had almost ceased to wheel at all. Having passed through and beyond the racing stage, everything else secmed tame to them and they knew not what use to make of a wheel. But now the improved patterns have drawn them back into the fold and they are riding for pleasure instead of for speed. One result of the change will be to in- crease the number of race meets and en- hance their quality. It grew so that for a time hardly anyone but boys could be persuaded to enter a race, but now this will all be changed once more and the old enthusiasm will be displayed. Omaha has begun the business by its racing meet of today and yesterday at the Midway Cyclo track. A good encourage- ment in the way of attendance at these events will glve wheeling, both road and track racing, a spurt here and in the state and establish this sport once more. CANTALOUPES ON MARKET First Arrival of the Luscious Melon Oftered to Omaha Pea Saturday marked an epoch in the vege- table and fruit market of Omaha for the present season, for then first appeared the cantaloupe—the queen of melons. The firet cantaloupes brought $2 per crate, averaging three dozen melons, and they are retailing at 10 cents aplece or two for 15 cents. Huckleberries and red raspberries were upon the market for the first time, also, vesterday morning. The former sold at $150 per dozen boxes and the latter went so rapidly and in such small amounts that no quota- tlons could be given. The strawberry market has almost reached its close. The last carload from Sarcoxio arrived yesterday morning, and it required two assoclations to fill the car. The fruit was firm but small. It sold at $1.75 per crate. The finest berrles yesterday morning came from the Hood River association in Oregon. They s0ld at §3 per case, but not very readily, as some of the St. Louls Gandys at $2 per case supplied a demand which would have been filled by the wests ern fruit. DOGS MIXED ON IDENTITY Alfred Millard’'s Big St. Bernards Cut Up Some Funny Capers, Alfred Millard, 2505 Farnam street, in concession to the warm weather, took his two handsome St. Bernard dogs to a livery stablo the other day and gave them a hair- cut with one of those pneumatie clippers, removing all the surplus bair save a mane about the head and neck and a tuft on the end of the tall. Hitherto the dogs had been “comrades ever since they were born,” but the moment they saw each other in the leo- nine makeup they became estranged. It was clear that they didu't know each other. That night at supper they fought sav- sgely over a bone and had to be tied to POSts at opposite ends of the rear veranda. Then Mr. Millard hit upon a scheme. Bringing from the house a large mirror, he placed it n front of St. Mark and permitted him to study his reflection therein. The dog was much Interested In the lank, tawny beast revealed by the glass. His crest bristled for a moment, and then, glancing at 8t. Luke at the opposite end of the porch, he seemed to suddenly grasp the ides. Belng untied, he went straight to St Luke and squared himself, probably making an apology in dog latin, and now Mark and Luke are the best of friends. POPOCRATS WILL BE IN IT John O. Yeiser Says His Bifarcated Party W Run Gubere natorinl Candidate. “It I8 safe to predict that the fuslonists or populists will put up a candidate for governor to be voted for at the general election in the state this fall,” said John 0. Yelser, who is getting his warrior's harness on agaln and is suspected of an ambition to disturb the peace and equanim- ity of the state. “'No, I am not a candidate for governor. I have had enough of that and am perfectly willing to let somebody elso enjoy the honor. “Tha fact is,” said the doughty popu- listic chieftain, “Nebraska has no gove ernor now, as I figure it out under the constitution. In the first place the consti- tution provides emphatically that the state shall have a governor, a lieutenant gov- ernor, a secretary of state, a state treas- urer, etc. Section 1 of article v of the con- | stitution says that ‘The executive depart- ment shall consist of a governor, lleutenant governor, etc. This makes incumbent upon us to have both a governor and lieutenant governor. “Now, in relation to a vacancy In the office ot governor, the constitution pro- | vides that in case of the death, impeach- ment, fallure to qualify, resignation, ab- sence from the state, or other disability of the governor, the powers, duties and emolu- | ments of the office for the residue of the term, or until the disability shall be re- moved, shall devolve upon the lleutenant governor. But the latter s still simply the lieutenant governor. The law does not say that he shall become governor, but simply that he shall perform the duties and enjoy the emoluments of the governor for the residue of the term, ar until the disabili- ties shall be removed. Now the latter qualifylng clause is evidence that it was not the intention of the framers of the constitution that the lleutenant governor should continue to perform the duties of governor any longer than until the disa- bilities can be removed. As I figure it out the disabilities can be removed next fall. ““That that was not the intent of the framers of the constitution is evidenced by the fact that in a section immediately suc- ceeding the one referring to the lieutenant governor, it is provided that if there be no lieutenant governor, or if the lieutenant governor for any of tho causes specified, becomes incapable of performing the duties of the office, the president of the senate shall act as governor, not until the end of the definitely fixed gubernatorial term, but ‘until the vacancy is filled or the disa- bility removed. “Further than that, section 107 of chapter xxvl of the statutes provides that vacan- cles occurring in any state, judiclal dis- trict, county, precinct, township or any public elective office, thirty days prior to any general election, shall be filled thereat. “Under these provisions I hold that there is a vacancy in the office of governor which should be filled at the general election this fall, and I think it is reasonably certain that the popullsts will be found trying to fll it Inquiries of other mambers of the popu- list party indicate that this subject is being discussed generally among them with considerable leaning toward the nomina- tion of a candidate. It appears to be an accepted theory among them that the ree publicans will, of course, contend that there {s no vacancy and will put up no candidate, that a contest cr4@ then be brought and that a favorable sugreme court might seat the populist whose name bad been put before the people. IDENTIFIED WITH OMAHA John Gray Foster, Loulsiana Victim, nned to Live in Th! ty. John Gray Foster, the Louisiana planter who was killed near Shreveport Wednes- day, and whose murder threatened 1o pre- cipitate a race war, was In Omaha two weeks ago, the guest of his sister, Mrs, M. E. Comegys, who for several months has resided In Omaha, making her home at the Merriam hotel Mrs. Comegys came to Omaha February 26 and went to the Merrlam. She was ac- companied by her sister, Miss Foster, and another sister, wite of Governor McMil- lin of Tennessee, was to arrive in Omaha Friday to be the guest of her sister for several wceks. The murder of their brother disarranged all plans. Mrs Comegys left for Louisana Thursday morn- ing. The telegram calling her to that state sald that her brother had been injured and she w not Informed of his death until she arrived at Memphis, where she was joined by a friend who had visited her in Omah It was understood that the Fosters in- tended to make Omaha their northern home, going south in the winter, and John Gray Foster remaining on the plantation only long enough to manage it. GOES FROM JEST T@ EARNEST Licensed Police Court Buftoon, Bos- ton een, Wages War with Stocking of Bricks, Boston Green, the quaint old darky who for many vears has been the recognized police court jester, has fallen from grace and is now in jail, serving a thirty-day sentenct for being drunk and disorderly. Boston's vagaries have been tolerated by the police for almost a_generation, because he was believed to be harmless and in his appetite for liquor his own worst enemy, but of late he has manifested signs of a viclous temper. Friday night he entered the police station with a long stocking full of stones and brickbats with which he threat- ened to assault Jimmie Kirk, the jailer. He was arrested and the thirty-day sen tence yesterday was the result. HENNINGS WANTS TO KNOW City Treasurer Present Stat y C Inquires Into of Omah, rter, the “You don't think the whole city charter 18 kuocked out, do you?'' asked City Treas- urer Hennings with breathless excitement yesterday morning. Recelviug a dublous answer, he con- tinued: “Well, if it is, I am drawing my salary under the old charter and ought to haev back pay at the rate of $5,000 per year, when I have been serving under the new charter-for $4,000 per year and pay- ing for my bond out of that.” And the genlal city treasurer looked de- cidedly quizzical, as If he didn’t know ex- actly whether be preferred to have the charter stand or fall. Can Fish on Sunday Now. HARRISBURG, Pa, June 15-W. E. Meehan, secretary of the State Fish com- mission, says that the new fish law ro- cently digned by Governor fone doc not prohibit fishing on Bunday. He said: “The new laws are very much more liberal than the old ones. Among other things, you wi.l notice that there has been no prohibiticn ainst Sunday This feature of the law will undoubtedly be welcomed by tho who cannot gud time to fish on week days," ) ALLY BEE: SUNDAY, J UNE 16, MAN 1 made mind, foon after graduats ing from c that no one man was great enough to master the entire fleld of medi- cine and surgery, Many physicians have tried to do this, but they have met with results usually disappointing to themselves and often disastrous to thelr patients.

HIGH MERCURY CUTS NO FIGURE Industrious Application to the Links Preli: ry to Contest with St. Joseph Country Club—Stri for the Douglas County Cup. The past week has been good for the golfers because, wet or dry, rain or ehine, it's all the same to them. Even the women have learned now that getting wet while you are playing golf doesn't mean a cold, especially it you let everything dry on you, and freaks of the weather no longer have any terrors for pursuers of the gutty. Early morning playing is becoming popu- lar, too, and in that connection it is pecu- lar to notice how the time of day affects a person’s games. One would naturally expect that the man who comes out in the evening, fagged after a hard day in the office, would mot be up to his best work, and this is perfectly true. So it is easy to understand why such a man would do his best work early in the morning, before he had done anything else, when his nerve was g00d, his eye rested and true, his muscles pliable and his joints not stiffened by hours at a desk. But it is equally as true that he of his own time whiles away his hours just as he pleases, also does a course just after dawn by several strokes less than he can from four to ten hours later, even though he be perfectly fresh when he plays at say & o'clock in the afternoon. ‘Whether it is the effect of several hours of sunlight on the eye, weakening its powers, that the difference, is a disputed question. The fact remains, however, that a game just! at dawn, when the grass Is wet with dew, | the alr cool and invigorating, the course at | its very prettiest of the day and the whola body rested, is the one where the good scores are rapped out. Never Mind the Weather. The warmest day possible is the ideal one | for horse racing or bicycle contests and also for base ball and even tennis, but not for golf. It is a slower, easier going game, requiring not briskness and nervous energy, but steadiness, and the cool hour is the best. In places where the sun-up playing is popular, where every one turns out be- fore breakfast Instead of after dinner, it Is noticed that the best scores are made at that time. Preparation for yesterday's contest with the team of the St. Joseph Country club has been the principal business at the Country club the past week. The twelve who went down to uphold the honor of their home organization have been putting in considerable time on the links, devoted mainly to perfecting themselves in the finer points of the game. All these men now have drives and brassie shots at their com- mand which are passable anywhere and will do in any company. The features in which they stop short of being equal to the best players in the country are approach shots and putting. A six-inch stroke of the lat- ter kind costs just as much and counts equally with a 200-yard drive. In fact, many players consider that the short strokes are the whole game, prac- tically, a5 a man may drive and brassie very poorly and still win out at the hole It he approaches accurately and puts without any useless waste of shots. Dj Ing and the long fleld shots with bra or cleek are the grandstand portions the game, but they aren’t what count. It looks very pretty to the onlookers to see a player drive for say, 200 yards straight out on a line for the hole, the gutty not rising more than twelve or fifteen feet from the groviud; and to follow such a perform- ance with & good brassie shot, which rises and soars on and on, seemingly never to fall, is almost as thrilliog. But what looks good to the golfers {s to make & perfect approach on & short arm or half-stroke with his lofting mashle or other favorite club for the purpose, and then to putt Into the hole from the lle thus secured In ome stroke. Meanwhile the man of the grand wooden club shots y be chopping away on all kinds of of its birth in honor of that event by the old Omaha Golf club, now defunct. It is a handsome affair and is played for twice each year, in the spring and in the fall. The competition is open to every resident of Douglas ccunty. One great objection to the Douglas county cup event exists, however. One of the conditions imposed by the donors was that it should go to the player who should win it three times In succession. This is manifestly almost impossible of ac- complishment. The best man jn the com- petition might remaln one of the best for several years and finally win the cup by taking the event three times out of, say, elght or nine tournaments. But the chances are about 100 to 1 that no man would ever win three times in succession, even did he loom head and shoulders above all the rest as a golfer, for the elements of luck and opportunity would be con- stantly arrayed against him. He would be sure to fall down, or some one else would be certain to have a streak and get espe- clally good, one of those three successive times. Cups or medals of any kind are seldom offered under such prohibitive terms unless the club owning them wishes to make win- ning an {mpossibility so that it may hold the emblem permanently as a club. Three times hand running is a tough proposition to go agalnst, so the local golfers say, and many of them are demanding a lessening of the stringency of the conditions im- posed. They say that three times at all is plenty bard enough to undertake and that it will be a long time before anyone gets the cup at that rate. 1t the club wishes to hold the cup, well and good, but if f{t desires to have it for a real object in these semi-annual competitions, put it on a basis which gives a chance of winning it. So far it has been in the possession of the club for one year and two cup contests W) Buggies, Spring Wagons, Get prices and terms of have been held. W. J. Foye and Leroy Austin are the men who now have thelr names inscribed upon it as the winners, each of one event. Nelther even hopes that he can win twice more In succession. It is probable that the change desired by many will be made. Shots Set Them Guessing. Some almost impossible golf shots are seen on the links at the Country club oc- cagjonally. These are due partly to real skill, but, of course, largely to luck. Two of these recently were cspeclally remark- able. One was by Harry Lawrle, a momber of the first four of the team. In an ap- pronch shot of some fifty yards he rolled into the hole, beating bogey. The other was by W. J. Foye, also one of the first four. He was lying stymie with his op- ponent, match play, and they were all even on strokes at that point. Foye had the stymle, so it was dollars to dough- nuts that he would lose the hole, for his opponent's ball lay directly between his and the coveted four-inch circle, and 8o close that he couldn't slide past it or even curve around it. Since he was farthest away from the hole it was his shot. He choso & mid-iron and grasped it close to the head. Then by a wonderfully clever chop he lifted his ball just over the top of the one in front without losing dtrection an inch. It hopped on and rolled Into the hole. The other man then played in with one stroke and the hole was halved instead of lost for Foye, as seemed inevitable. a a.

Whatever of illegality was in the action of Sallsbury in the Barton matter was perpetrated in Iilinois and for this Sallsbury was indicted by a Cook county grand -jury. Trial under that in- dictment Is still pending and Salisbury Is under bond to appear in Chicago when the case is ready for trial. It Is possible that the 1linols prosecution may be dropped, for it Salisbury 1s convicted in Michigan he cannot appear for trial in Chicago.
