Platte road race, which has been the talk of wheel men and others for ten days past, advertised to take place this even ing, has been postponed until Fri day evening on account of bad roads, and barring- a heavy rain will oositivelv take place. The 4. start will be made from the dis patcher's office on Front street, and the route will be to Pallas and repeat, the finish being at the intersection of Spruce and Sixth streets. There are twenty-eight entries in the race, and the official handicap is as follows: 6:30 Fred Letts, J. Davis, Chas. Seyferth. 6:31 A.9 M. Schannann, C. T. Whalen, W. F. Moran, L. L. Steele. 6:32 Ed. Weeks, P. H. Lonergan, Pearl Armbus, Wm. Baker. 6:33 C. E. Beeler, G. A. Laing, John Ell, Harry Dixon. 6:34 Arthur Rush, John Dugan. 6:35 Eugene Picard, Frank Ed monds, John Sullivan. 6:36 J. E. Fillion, Frank Grick. . .6:39 Floy McGinn, James Rod dy, Frank Murray. 6:41 H. E. Cox. 6:42 Walker Hainline, Edward Friend. The probabilities are that 2,000 people will be out on the streets to witness the start and finish. With the exception of repairs at crosswalks it is likely that little if any street work wiU be performed this year. Mayor Baker, like his predecessor, believes that the city debt should be cut down, and retrenchment of expenses made wherever such is possible. Elsewhere the mayor asks the citizens to clean up the alleys and cut the weeds in the streets so that the city may present a neat appear ance to the crowd which assembles on the Fourth of July. The sug gestion is a good one and should be acted upon by the citizens. Though this year has not so far been one in which the best re sults can be shown by windmill irrigation, yet?theT plant erected--by W. E. Price in the south part ot town is one which should be in spected by those interested in the matter. Mr. Price has a very com plete plant and finds no difficulty in watering his two acres with it. The first invoice of this sea son's California peaches arrived yesterday consigned to express agent McGovern who sold them to a local merchant. And by the way Mac is doing a big business as destributing agent for the whole sale fruit firms of the west, having consigned to him an average of about twenty cases of berries per day, which he disposese of to deal ers in the city. His efforts in this direction has resulted in a large in crease of business for the express company. C. F. Scharmanu has received a letter from the Studebaker Co. in which they deny the report that they are making bicycles, though they intimate that they may in the future add such a department to their works. The Studebakers have a shotgun loaded with saddle- bage for the man who started the report that .wheels were being made by them, as they are receiving hundreds of letters daily relative to the matter. MILLER MATTER. As I have heard several inquiries of late as to what became of "Our Country Cousin," I thought it about me to give an account of "Miller Matter." Well we are all happy on account of the fine growth of all kinds of vegetation, and the farmer and his family-begin to enjoy the fruits of their toil in the shape of "garden sass" and spring chickens, and there is also music in the air, since Miss Beach has treated herself to a new Bush & Gertz piano. I think the young people of this precinct should organize a musical society, as nearly every house now contains some kind of an instrument; apd as for voices, why just listen to Will Facka or Bert Stafford as they drive their teams afield these fine morninsrs, and you -will conclude that we have lots of talent. Mrs. J. Keary and son J. Richard, have just returned from visiting for a few days with Mr. .nd Mrs. O' Rourke at Sunny side farm, and re port crops doing well down there, although they have not had &s much rain as farther t west. Miss Nellie Vaughn has returned to the parental roof after having en joyed a ve?y romantic visit in the eastern part of the state. John Kenwortby jr., seems to have lots of business on the south side lately, and on;one of his recent trips, in order to save, time he at tempted to ford, the South Platte, Tutfoundit'higkerttetnlie thought; as his team had to swim, and he used his buggy for a boat. Better go by the bridge, next time, John. What about ourxounty fair this year? And also ou-4th of July cel ebration? Wake lip boys and give us a picnic and a dance. CODKTRY COUSIN.

The Staunton, 111., Times has the following-: "Last winter the people of Ne braska were said to be starving1, and carload after carload of corn was sent from Illinois for their re lief. Lately corn, as most people are aware, has been on a boom, and in one day 116 carloads of corn from Nebraska were received in St. Louis. Comment is superfluous." Comment indeed would be super fluous, if not the above remark of the Staunton Times clearly showed that it is intended as areflectionon the good name .of Nebraska, ind iting" that Nebraska did not de serve assistance, because a com paratively small portion of its farm ers had some corn to sell. The western half of Nebraska had lost by drouth ail of her crop, the cen tral portion had . little of it, and only in the eastern third part of the state tolerably good crops were raised. And some of the more fortu nate farmers in that portion of Ne braska had the crops of former seasons on hand yet. These better situated farmers could not afford and could not be . expected to give up. all they had for the assistance Ui- LUC lliajlj UtOLlLULlJI ptVJJ ijV i.JUXj west and they cannot fairly be blamed for now selling what they have left. In nearly all our com munities, if not in all, some suffer ing people were to be assisted, and have been helped through the win ter by the charity work of better situated neighbors, and $200,000 have been spent by the state for the assistance of the drouth suffer ers., Nebraska has done her duty as well as the many noble people in other states, who have sent relief to our destitute families, and who deserve our heartfelt thanks. But it is in very bad taste, to now throw out hints as if the assistance re quested by and given to Nebraska were a matter of impropriety, be cause a few Nebraska farmers are able to send to the market a com paratively small amount of corn. It seems that Nebraska this year will have good crops, and it looks pretty much as if Illinois this year is suffering from drouth. If this should be the case, Nebrasha un doubtedly will reciprocate and re turn the favors shown her by Illi nois, though the Staunton Times evidently begrudges them. Grand Island Independent. The merchants ot Utah have been praying for years for a general re duction of freight rates. There is some prospect that they have at last secured this boon through the radical cut just inaugurated by the Union Pacific. The situation is complicated, but there is reason to believe that the reduction is per manent. There is so much compe tition that it may be found impos sible to maintain the rates to the seaboard that have heretofore pre vailed. The feeling in Utah is that the new rates wiU greatly increase the importance of Salt Lake City and other cities in the great basin as jobbing and manufacturing cen tres. Journal. An exchange gives the following description of the up-to-date bloomer bicycle outfit: wThe much talked about bloomer bicycle outfit for ladies is simply a pair of trous ers, very baggy at the knees, ab normally full about the pistol pocket and considerably loose -where you strine a maicn. xne garment is cut decollet at the south end, and tbe bottoms are tied around the knees to keep the mice out. You can't put it over your head as you would a skirt, but you sit on the hoor and pull it on iust as you would your stockings, one foot in each compartment. You can easily tell which side to have m front by the button on the neck-band. s Grand Cut .Sale. Star Clothing House Commencing June 4th, j and ending June 14th.
