    Several World' Record ltroken.
From Friday's Daily.
The dirt track at The Denver Wheel
i:ib park maintained its reputation
for being the f astest track in America
by having three records Dioken yester
d.iy in the opening races of the na
tional circuit meet.
The lirst record to go was the one
mil open, class A, paced by the quad
ridden by Cruwell. IMppin, Beck and
Hanks. C. U. Collins followed the
quad so closely as to clip off two sec
onds from the former record of 2:044 5.
Harry Clark of Denver went for the
one-mile, class A, unpaced record of
'J.10 held by A. H. Hughes of Denver,
and succeeded in cutting down to
2:0-5 1-5, a world ;s record that will
pr bably stand for the remainder of
this racing season. The third record
to be changed was the one-mile quad
time, which was 1:54. Stone, Swan-
birough, Dixon and Connihear, with
all conditions favorable, lowered the
time to 1:47 4-5.
Orlanda Stevens; the Ottumwa won
der bicycle rider, reduced the q-iarter-
mile unpaced record at lledrik,
Iowa, in the sensational time of :231-5,
lowering the world's record for that
distance.
NEW TWO-YEA U-OLD COLT KECORD.
The two-year-old colt. Tommy Brit
ton, yesterday afternoon wiped out all
race records at Lexington, Ky., by
placing himself in a class alone, as
the incomparable." The reco-d for
two- ear-old Allies of 2:16$, held
jointly by Sillican and Impetuous, has
been beaten by half a second, and the
honored title that Oakland Baron held
as the king of racing colt trotters has
passed ami a new name is written
above all others, and Tommy Britton,
2:loi, is the king of his age, and by
conservative horsemen is regarded as
the ureaiest one ever bred.

I'uIk on m New Engine.
The Burlington has put into service
a ne .v engine on the fast mail betweeD
Oman 4 and Chicago that promises to
be something of a record breaker. The
engine is Xo. ol0 and has just I een
given its trial tests at (ialesburg, and
is bfiug used for a few days on pas
senger trains between Chicago and
Galesburg and will then be put in the
fast mail service. On the trial tiipi
the engine, attached to four cars,
made a mile in forty-three seconds,
and on longer distances struck and
maintained a speed of sixty-six miles
an hour. In spurts it made an aver
age of seventy-six miles an hour, and
when once in active service is expected
to furnish some records in fast time.

In enumerating the agricultural and
horticultural blessings of a bountiful
1'rovideuce this year, dear brethren,
let us not forget the meek and lowly
pumpkin. The pumpkin is not as
pretty as a peach or r bunch of luscious
grapes. Its neck is too small and its
belly too large for horticultural beauty,
but when the innards of the pumpkin
get into a stew and become involved
between the upper and netber crusts
of an old Virginny pie crust, we'd like
to see the human palate that wouldn't
be tickled to death with the perform

India is railway crazy. Jt is re
ported that the director . general of
railways in India has approved of
forty-live new railway projects which,
when carried out, will add over 6,000
miles to the railway. The friends of
progress in India declare they must
have 60,000 miles of railways. India
seems to be waking up.

"Country editors are pack horses for
the public, without even 'thank you,' "
says an exchange. "Their generosity,
as a general thing, receives the kicks
and cuffs of the public, instead of its
blessings. They have one comfort,
however, and that is they will leave no
estate for the sharks to gobble up after
they have gone to the beautiful be
yond. The Lord will give them a front
seat in the big church made without
hands, and order ttieir delinquents on
tbe bleaching boards that skirt tbe

At Frascati, near Home, there is a
bachelors' union, which recently pro
tested against the overdressing and
tbe general misconduct of the girls of
the town, and resolved to boycott all
those who did not heed the warning

them from marrying Whereupon the

A man up in Minnesota has sued
that state for damages, because he
was attacked and injured by a moose.
The Nebraska City News says that
"if he succeeds in getting a verdict by
virtue of the contention he raises that
as the state makes it unlawful to kill
a moose at hi y time or in any circum
stances, it is responsible for all acts
its wards may commit, then it will be
necessary to prepare f.r an advance
in the rate of taxation all over the
country. Game laws exist every

of how many people are bitten by trout
each year during the clove season, of
how many are devoured by partridge
and prairie chicken?, and of the
hecatombs annually sacrificed to ap
pease the ferocity of woodcbucks and
gray squirrels, the drain to which the
treasuries of the various common

The Burlington carried just 223 peo
pie out to inspect the Milford gold
fields yesterday, says last Monday's
Lincoln Journal Mr. Dillenbeck es
corted the excursionists to the places
on his land where signs of richres
have been discovered. The demand
for samples was enormous. A very
rich find was unearthed in the sands
along the creek. It is reported that
the best samples were secured by Mor
ris Turner and E. Hallett. and their
joy over finding the "gold" was only
equalled by their disgust when they
found the stuff to be brass. A funny
man had filled li is pockets with brass
filings in a Lincoln bicycle shop dur
ing the week in order to be prepared
to have pome fun with the gold-hunl-ers

Now corner a Milwaukee horse doc
tor with the assertion that beneath the
shaggy yellow blossoms of the golden
rod flower lurks germs of a disease that
is death to hortes. He claims that the
horses which eat the tempting plant
go into a gradual decline, the blood is
destroyed, the tissues wasteaway. and
they die in from three weeks to three
months. This is a startling assault
on Nebraska's favorite flower. It
should be remembered that Milwaukee
has been celebrating for a week, and
it is not likely that the horse doctors
resisted tbe deluge of local inspiration.

Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof thelower
bowel which increased aud became
very distressing. I made inquiry-as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Tiles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtainiug thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pilk
Killer. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.
