ol @ LR "t 4 L7 g S FORTY ENTRIES IN SINCLES Interstate Tennis Tourney Starts with Fine List of Players. DRAWINGS FOR PRELIMINARY ROUND Elght Matches Will He Played Of This Afternoon to Narrow the Con- test Down te Sixteen for First Round. A host of tennis players from at home fand abroad waited anxiously around the Fleld club Sunday afternoon for the com- . pletion of the drawings for singles in the interstate tournament, which commences today. When the committee had finished pairiings were being bulletin board, that corner of the veranda was quickly a #olid mass of peering faces. At the club nothing else was talked of but this tournament. Promising weather the presence of every entry and the com- pletion of all arrangements for play and (for entertainment seem to predict an un- qualified success. Of this the drawings proved to be no amall part for fortune arranged them in most Interesting se- quence promising critical and sensational finishes. The list reads: l C Iyl llolll Ciky nb!t. il Top . 8. Erwin, Omal . A Ahholl. Jr., G Isla 1adl Oklllfl lnxln‘\nn. M . 8. Pe & 5 B s Louts, s bie. Fred Hamliiton, Omlhl. s H, Young, Omaha, AG G.

Loveland of Lincoln hav- ing decided not to play until the doubles, when they will be a team. These forty men are paired off as listed, pumbers 1 and 2 being matched together, 3 and 4, and s0 on. The total of forty, however, nece tates a preliminary round, in order to even the number up for working down to the somi-final and finals. Sixteen men, there- fore, were drawa to play this preliminary. That would leave just elght to go in with the other twenty-four, making thirty-two in all for the first round proper, These sixteen begin wich W. ¥. Prowett, whu s number thirteen in the list, and end with Willlam McNell of Sloux City, Ia., number twenty-eight on the list. Those yalrs, Prowett and Gllman, Carey and Brown, and so on down to Ashcraft and McNell, will play oft the preliminaries this afternoon. Meanwhile, the other twenty- four are given a bye until Tuesday, when reinforced by the elght winners out of the preliminary round they will begin the first round. nteresting Early Matches. The arrangement of the list was ex- ‘tremely interesting. As the men are paired it is easy to pick the players who will win cut to the semi-finals on the basis of form, ‘which, of course, is not Infallible. In the first eight names C. 8. Peters of Chicago should come out, although Carter Wilder of Kansas City may give him a bard run. In the next quarter, including the names of T, 8. Blair, through Barl Farnsworth, comes a beautiful fight. In the very first 'round Conrad Young, champlon of Omaha, is matched against W. G. Barker of Ar- ¥ansas City, Ark., who, as a New England champlon, beat t! great Larned some years ago. Then down at the bottom stands Earl Farnsworth, who will undoubtedly play the winner of the Young-Parker mateh. I'In undoubted abllity of all three players it impossible to say anything more d.fllltl than that one of them will come out of this quarter for the semi-finals. Even at that some say that T. §. Blair of St. Louls, who leads the quarter, will be strongly in the running. In the third quarter are found F. R. Sanderson of Galesburg, E. N. Asheraft of Chicago, Tke Raymond of Lincoln, George Howell of Sloux City and Jerome McGee among the prominents. Asheraft should pull out ahead in this quarter. The last elght names would seem to necespitate a prediction that F. E. Sheldon of Kansas City ‘would be the winner there. On that basls of prognostication there will be Peters and Asheraft of Chicago, Sheldon and either Farpsworth, Young or Parker for the four men in the semi-finale. Visitors at the Courts. Practically all these players were at the Field club Sunday afternoon, and were bus- ily sising each other up, though none played. All the visitors were extreme in their praises of the Field club courts, and say that a better place for the tour- nament could scarcely be found. The strangers came in mostly on the moraing trains, and were met at the stations by Field club men. The Millard hotel, their headquarters, pr an animated asod athletic appearance. Devotees of golt and baseball and bowling had little place at the Field club Sunday, for all the talk was ten- nls. This preliminary around the singles will begln at 3:30 this afterncon. Then Tues- day morning play begins at 9:30, and will continue both morning and afternoon uatil the tournament is finished. Drawings for the doubles will not be made until tonight or Tuesday, as there 1s still some doubt in the cases of & few pairings. The entertalnment committee plans to Doctors’ Bills Seem large to you?

She was taken to the Central hospital, where at a Iate hour she had not recovered consclous- ness. The left side of her head and her left hip were injured, and severe internal injuries are feared.

BOARD'S PLAN IS NOF TRE COUNCIL'S Former Would Combine Offices of Ma- nd Bad Boy t Latter Favors A special meeting of the Board of Bdu- cation has been called for tonight, and it is the intention of some of the members to transact business of Importance providing there is a quorum. Repairs to school build- ings, including interior and exterior, will come up, and then there will be allowing of money to contractors for work already done on additioas to school houses. Colonel Lott and others want a boller inspector, but in this the city may take the lead, for the reason that the suggestion was made some time ago to the city fathers than an inspector of boilers is a necessity, particularly on account of tha number of janitors who have been chosen lately by the boafd. It Is asserted in official circles that some of the janitors know nothing about the management of a heating plant. What the counell wishes to do is to have all of the engineers, or those who have charge of boilers to appear before a board of inspection and pass an examination. If this is done, it is asserted, there will be more of a feeling of safety among parents who send children to the public schools. Some of the school board members wish to work in a combination and elect a truant officer and a boiler inspector. This is not considered practicable by some, and it may never go through, for the reason that the mayor and city council will hardly ac- credit a school district boiler inspector, even It elected, appointed and placed upon the pay roll. A city official said last night that the Board of Education might elect all the truant officers it wanted to, but when it comes to an fnspection of boil- 'rlllln( funds for the South Omaha Hos- pital assoctation.

However, In a place last night, he found his liberal pocket empty, and asked Jolin Tansey, one of the reciplents of his bounty, for a small rebate, Upon John's refusal to remit the rancher grew sore and apoke bitterly of base ingratitude. The po- lice were summoned and Chestnut, Tansey and a negro named Robert Walker ware ar- rested. Tansey had $193.96 upon him, which e sald Chestout had asked him to keep. He also owned to having spent nearly $100 more. Walker must have heard of the free money late, for he had the westerner's pocketbook and last $10 bill. In his pocket were also $36.40, which he claimed as his own. These two are employes of the hotel. Chestnut sald that he began the fun with $700 and that he had no complaints to make. TAKES AMMONIA BY MISTAKE 0l1d Henry Patterson Found in Coal Shed iIn Cri dition, 014 Henry Patterson sald that he got it for alcohol in a drug store and that the clerk made a mistake. At any rate he had a bottle of commercial ammonia, frem which he took a good nip, before he no- ticed the ammonlia bouquet. Then he was al Com- ers the city ordinances and the charter will prevail, whether the board likes the proposition or not. No one who Is conversant with local af- fairs denles that there is need of a boiler inspector, but the trouble in the past has been that the packers objected. Then came the plan to pass an ordinance cutting out the packers and the Stock Yards company. This ordinance was decided to be out of the question, and so the matter now stands. In talking about this proposition last night, & member of the councll “Should the Board of Education elect & boller inspector and the council do the same there would be a constant conflict of authority. The eity will never permit any inspector named by the Board of Edu- cation to Inspect bollers and give a cer- tificate to janitors for the reason that there 1s too much politics in the school board, and certificates might be issued to parties who cannot pass an exgmination.” If the councll and the Board of Educa- tion gets into an altercation over this mat- | force will return d | cla ter soweibiug of laterest may come up. Cnttle Receipts Heavy. The livestock market here last week was notable Yor its heavy receipts, the total for the week being 19,175 head. Of these nearly if not quite 90 per cent were western range cattle, comparatively few corn fed cattle being on sale. As compared with the same date last year the cattle receipts show an increase of 24,036 head and hog receipts an increase of 41,258 head. There Is still a deficit of 50,000 sheep, but this rapldly’ being wiped out. Heavy recelpts of cattle and hogs are looked for this week. In order to properly handle the big receipts of cattle there has been an Increase in the brand inspection force and from this time cn until the close of the western ship- ping seasom additional experienced brand inspectors will remain on duty here. Another Damage Sult Threatened. The city is apparently in for another damage sult. It e the same old story of washouts and holes in the streets loft unprotected. A few evenings ago Dr. James A. Kelly w driving along Thirty-eighth avenue just north of Q street, when his horse fell into a hole, tipping over the vebicle and throwing the physiclan and a friend out. The shafts of the buggy were broken and both men sustained slight bruises. It took considerable time. to ex- tricate the horse and the animal since been under the car f a veterinary surgeon and cannot be used for several weeks. Want Alley Graded. Since the city has been so slow In secur- ing dirt to fill washouts, property owners in the eastern part of the city, and espe- clally those who live on Missouri avenue have su ed to the members of ‘he council that the alley between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets and Missour! ave- nue and M street be graded and the dirt used to fill some of the big holes in Mis- souri avenue. It Is estimated that 2,000 yards of dirt can be moved from this alley without eny delay and at a very small cost to the city. What the oM. el y, however, is that the only way the aliey can be graded fs to go through the regular form of a petition and have the cost taxed up to the abutting prop- erty. George Parks is now looking after the petition and expects to have it in shape to preseni to the council within a week or two. Broadwell Makes Transfer, On Saturday Frank A. Broadwell, rep- resenting the J. M. Glasgow estate, -trane- ferred to the city of South Omaha the property at Twenty-third and M streets. This ground was purchased by the eity for $3,500 and will be used for the pro- posed Carnegle library. The officers of the library assoclation will at once notify James Buchanan, No. § West street, New York City, of the fact that the eity is now In poswession of the deed to the property and them the expectation is that Mr. Carnegle will remit to the assoclation $50,000 for a bullding.

Since the evolution of the candy trade from the “gumdrops” of our forefathers to the “all day suckers,” “frosted figlets,” “Foxy Grandpas” and other modern kinds of confectionery, says the New York Trib- une, the candy makers of this country have cfeased iheir product from an annual lue of $2,000,000 to one of more than $81, 000,000, In the last fifty years the Increa in the consumption of candy has boen twenty-seven fold, although the population of the United States has increased from 21,- 191,876 to 76,803,387, or a little over three- fold. Thus {t may be scen that the growth of the candy trade has been nine times as fast as that of the population. Much of this growth of business has been due, it is sald, to the efforts of the Natlonal Confectioners'. association. The organization was formed for the purpose of prohibiting the manufacture of polsonons candies, or, as expressed by its constitu- tion, “to advance the standard of confec- tionery in all practicable ways and to abso- lutely prevent hurtful adulterations.” Prior to 1884, when the candy manufacturers held their first convention, In Chicago, the pub- lic had become prejudiced against the eat- ing of candy because of certain polsonous kinds, which often caused sickness and even death. Thus It grew to be the popular opintan that color in candy was poisonous and that the brighter the color the mere potent the poison. As a result of occasional investiga- tions, started by local health authorities, it was discovered that harmful dyes and con- coctions were used by some candy makers for the purpose of obtaining a greater mar- gin of profit, and at the same time to dress up their products and make them more al- luring to the juvenile appetit The manufacturers saw that in order to bulld up their trade on an enduring basis they must take the people into their confl- dence. Candy must be made pure and Wholesome. Harmful drugs and dyés muat be elimina The business must be con- ducted on thorough economie principles and fraud and adulteration must be prohibited. Thus In seeking to further their own busi- ness ends the candy manufacturers contend that they have rendered a great public service In guarding the millions of chil- dren of the land against harmful or deleter- fous sweetmeats. To carry out this crusade against poison- ous candjes the confectioners of the coun- try held a widely attended convention at Chicago In 1884 and decided to secure :he enactment of pure candy laws in every state in the unjon, as well as a federal statute at Washington. Because of the be- of many constitutionsl lawyers that a federal pure-candy law would not be upheld by the courts the chief energy of the soclation has been directed toward obtain- ing s tatutes, and at the convention next Wednesday an@ Thursday it will be announced that laws Save been passed in thirty-two states prohibiting the use of deleterious products in the manufacture of candy. The states where such statutes have been enacted are for the most part in the east and west. The last state to pass a pure- candy law was Arkansas. Many of the southern states bave not yet enacted any such statutes and in Texas, Kansas, West Virginla, Washington, Colorado and Ne- braska pure-candy bills are still pending enactment. A federal pure-food bill, in- corporating certatn provisions recommended by the candy makers for the manufacture of pure candy, was introduced st Washington at the last session, but It was sidetracked New York Press: We ha speaking of the American eagle bad an eagle. “Let the eagle is a pet saying.

Long Lost Geld Workings Baid to Have Boen Discovered at Last. TWO MINERS STRIKE RICH VEIN OF ORE Find © Rush to Diggings and Tho! Look Upon Golden Crevice and Stake Out Hundreds of Claims. CASPER, Wyo., Aug. 17.—(Special.)—The location of the famous Last Cabin gold mine, for which miners and prospectors have been searching for years, has been found. This la the belief of a party of Buffalo miners that bave been prospecting on the south branch of Otter creek, sixty miles southwest of Buffalo, for five or six years, and who last week discovered rich veins of gold ore in that vicinity; also what they believe to be the workings of the now famous Lost Cabln mine itself. Albert E. Sutton and Barnes O. Burris been at work (n the dlstriot for s long time, as have many other miners who be- lteved the story of the lost *nine, and who were confident of some day dlscovering the workings from which many fortunes were sald to have been secured in carly days. Each year the men secured enough float to pay for their time and labor, but not until a few weeks ago did they find anything that 1ooked like & rich strike. The discovery is a drift in the side of a nearly perpendicular oliff about fifty feet high. The workings are in carbonates, which are so rich that a dollar's worth of gold can be picked oyt of a square inch of the wall with a pocket knife. On one of the walls is the following in- seription: * Gorham and Wilhelm Arbach, 1869. There has been a Christian name before the surname Gorham, but it canmot be de- ciphered. This inscription is taken as conclusive evidence that the Lost Cabin mine itself, which was believed to be nothing more than a crevice in a high cliff from the stories told by Indlans, has really been found. ‘When the discovery became known in Buf- falo and the surrounding country there was a rush to the scene, and by thia time fully 2,000 people have gazed upon the wonder- ful cliff and the golden crevice in its per- pendicular side, while hundreds of acres of ground in the vicinity have been staked off. Since the discovery the story has been told that six years aj old man arrived from Buffalo from the’ east, and in company with four young men left for Otter creek on a prospecting tour. To some acquaint- acces he sald he was one of the original discoverers of the Lost Cabin gold mine, that his party was attacked by Indians and all save himself killed. He egcaped from the red men, but nearly died from exposure and hunger. For eeveral months his mind was a blank, and not for many years could he recall the location of the mine, which he described as being fabulously rich. He spent several weeks in the country, but was unable to find the mine, or at least he told the young men of his party that he saw nothing that looked like it. At Wells post- office, enroute to Buffalo from Otter creek, the old man died of heart dlsease, and if he had rediscovered the famous mine the secret died with him, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN KILLED eting Reports Recelved Recent Sheep Slaughter, ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., Aug. 17.—(Spe- clal.)—Many confiicting reports have been recelved from the New Fork country, the scene of the recent raid, slaughter of sheep and reported killing of a herder. The latest story is to the effect that the troubl was precipitated by forelgn flockmasters that the pumber of sheep killed was about 2,000 instead of 4,900, and that Sam Gule- tietiez, the Mexican herder, reported killed, probably left the country. No one saw bim go, however, and no one can be found who has seen him since, the rald. Affairs in the New Fork country are now qulet and the are no fears of further trouble.
