"Yes ; there's a toll'blc nice lot of
busses in tliis stable now , " said a smil
ing , good natured jockey. , ( o a repre
sentative of TUB Bin : yesterday ,
as the latter dismounted from the
neatjlightbuytg- which Col. Dickey ,
the well known horseman , hail driven
him to the Omaha Driving Park ; and
even to the untrained eye of an
admirer of fsvst stock it was very
evident that there was a "toll'blc
nice lot" there.
It was well worth the while to look
through the lung stable.
There were sixteen speeders of all
ages , colors and recoids , with their
coats glossy by careful nibbing , their
hoofs -white and clean , and a certain
look in their eyes that indicated that
spirit was not Licking in an- one of
them.
Of coin-be the old favorite , "lUui-
dall , " little , thick-set , clean-limbed ,
chestnut gelding , the property of Dr.
.1. T. Peck of this city , headed the
list with his twelve years of dignity ,
seven of which was full of experience
in hard-fought battles on the turf , and
from which five years ago he captured
the record of 2:24 $ .
"Randall" is hahndled by Messrs.
Bcardbley and Perry , These two
gentlemen also liave at these stables
"May Clark , " a chestnut marc , eight
years old , with no record to bar her
out of any race , but with capabilities
that her owners will bet on ; and
CJliarles Douglas , a bay gelding , sired
by Tom , he by Sots Hiatoga , and with
a record of 2:00. :
Looking still further down the sta
ble were found three horses belonging
to Mr. James If. Crcighton. One is
the well known and over reliable little
grey gelding "Granger , " who has
trotted in 2:1151 : ; the second , "Little
Tom , " with a 2:157 : record , and a pedi
gree thr.t is unimpeachable ; and the
third , "Happy Traveler , " a very
promising bay stallion , sired ly
"Msxnibrino Patchen. " lie is only
two years old , but a beauty , and am
claim a birthplace in the horse para"
disc of "Old Kaintuck. "
The other horses in the stable are ,
many of them , no less notable and de
servedly noticeable. "Wild Irishman , "
a bay gelding , belonging to Mr. Den
nis Cunningham , is well known. Mr.
Thomas Gray has "Dora Dnkc" a fine
marc , sired by "linn Dnkc ; " "Nellie
I'axton , " a four year old bay mare ,
sired by "Matt. Patrick" and out of a
Goodrich mare ; and "Rosa- Vanderbilt -
bilt , " four years old , sired by "Com-
modoro Vanderbilt. "
Mr. Chris Ilartman has "Kittic"a
bay four yoai ohl , who promises very
nicely , and side by side in box-bta'ls '
arc "JSlack Jack , " the property of Mr.
Murray , and "JJilly Vanderbilt , " a
brown gelding , owned by Mr. Gray.
Mr. John D. Crc'ghton hits here a fine
chestnut stallion , "Col. King , " sired
by Mcmbrino King , also a legiti
mate production of bine grass soil , and
"Croppy , " n brown mare with line
points and breeding. Mr. John A.
Creighton also stables hero a red sorrel
rel ( "Palchou" ) filly , as rangy and
wild as you please.
In addition to these , Mr. Chris
Nevis is handling "Millie G. , " a chest
nut mare owned by Mr. IScnjamin
Wood , sired by Wilson's "Dine 15ull. "
She has no record , but can turn oil'a
mile , it is claimed , way down in the
thirties. "Jim Keeue , " a black guid
ing sixteen hands high , arrived at the
ti-ick btables but a few days ago , and
belongs to some gentleman at North
I'latlo. He is four years old , and
without ( juestion a g < od one. Also a
late arrival is a black mare owned by
Dr. Nason , of this city. She is both
rangy and full of speed.
noitoUFUMi WOUTII $15,000.
In these stables arebut a few horses ,
but in value they aggrotpxtc the sum
of 815,000. This is a low estimate ,
and many of them could not IHJ pur
chased for theaniounts they are valued
at. When it is taken into considera
tion that most of these horses arc
young and as yet untried , it is safe t <
say that no other city Itetvvecn Chicago
and San Francisco can show such an
aggregation of blooded stock , lie-
sides these horses there arc many in
the city which deserve an equally high
valuation. Among thorn arc those
owned by Col. Dickey snitl stabled at
McShanu's ham on Hartley street. One
is Drown Wilkes , a four year old ,
stallion , sired by "George Wilkes , "
and he by old "Hambletoni-ui , " the
young horse's dam being a "Patchen"
mare. I'rown AVilkcs & without ques
tion a beauty , ami deserving of all the
praise horsemen give him. He is en
tered for the colt stake at Chicago ,
July 22d , where he will trot for a purse
of § 2,500. He will bo on the track on
Sunday morning and speeded by
his owner. The other two horses of
Col. Dickey's are a pair of brown
marcs , six and seven years old respect
ively. I'oth arc sired by "Kcar&agc , "
and are from the dam wliich claimed
"Dexter" for a son. They can trot in
2:40 together , and will probably give
any team in the city the larger share
of dust.

poctod from the recent rains. It will

lively series of summer meetings.

The Hoods caught the fanners in the
vicinity of Urownsville , Nebraska , on
the Jly not only those residing on the
bottoms , but those on the high lands.
Many of them were in need of what
arc called "listers , " for use in plant
ing their com , but owing to the high
water and the consequent destruction
of railroads , it was impossible to get
them. Mr. David Campbell tele
graphed fur them several times , but
could not get any satisfaction.
Sunday he jumped into a skiff and
pulled down to St. Joseph. He reached
the city Monday , after a ride of
eleven hours and a half , and got a car
load of"'flistcrs. " They were quickly
loaded up , and were shipped out
over the St. Joseph and Western in the
morning to Hamlin , whence they will
transferred to Brownsville , a dis
tance of forty- miles , in wagons , Mr.
Camplxjll having telegraphed for teams
to meet him there. The tjmo for
planting corn being nearly up , the
farmers near Urownsvillo should" give
much credit to the enterprise of Mr.
Campbell , tlwplayed in getting these
implements.

FEVER BREEDING.
How the' City is Allowing the
Growth'of a Nuisance ,
The Health of Citizens Theaton-
ed in Certain Parts of
Town.
Immediate steps should be taken by
our city authorities to stop the nui
sance which is becoming terribly of
fensive to all people who live in the
neighborhood of St. Mary's avenue ,
from Sixteenth to Twentieth street , or
who are obliged to travel through the
street. For some months the valuable
property on the north side of the
avenue , from Seventeenth street to
Twentieth , has , by arrangement with
contractors , been used : is a deposit for
dirt from cellars and excavations in the
neighborhood where improvements
were going on. Above Eighteenth
street the County Commissioners have
been depositing the greater bulk of
.the dirt from the county court house
grounds. The effect has been to raise
the lots in question very nearly to
grade , hut of late manure and refuse
carts from various parts of the city
seem to have concluded that their un
savory deposits were equally as desira
ble. The effect is that this portion of
one of our best streets lias become the
worst locality in theeityand most people
ple residing in the south part of town
reach their homes by other and longer
routes.
It is needed thai the city should not
only put a stop to this ofl'ensh e prac
tice , but should cause the removal of
the present accumulations at this
point.
AX OFFEKSIVE TOOL.
Another matter which needs imme
diate attention is the excavation west
of Thirteenth street , between Mason
and Leavenworth , which has become
an innncjisc pool of stagnant water ,
whose nauseating odor fills the entire
neighborhood. Many residents in the
locality bilk of moving away. The
matter needs the immediate attention
of our street commissioner.

The Police.
The Republican of this morning
contains , a contribution signed "Ob
server , " which alleges that members
of the Omaha police force arc in the
habit of leaving their beats for the
purpose of performing special detec
tive duty.
The members of the police force
claim that there is not the slightest
ground for this charge , and that as far
as the attempted burglary at Piercy's
store is concerned , the smallncss of
our jwljcQ force makes it impossible
for an officer to pass very frequently
over the beat. The officer who passes
Piercy's store has , for instance , to
patrol Iwth sides of Farnani street
from Twelfth to Sixteenth , and both
sides of Thirteenth street to Bohe
mian hall.
There are but seven men on the
night force , and as a-mattcr of course
the protection which they afford to the
cit } * , as far as burglars arc concerned ,
js not , very cjctensjvq.
As 'tho ' police are invariably dressed
in uniform while on duty , they are

THE CATTLE PEST.
Investigation Iiito the Cause of
the Terrihle Plague ,
A Chemist's Report Examina
tion by a Noted Veterinary
Surgeon.
In view of the alarmingly fatal ef
fects of the disease wliich "lias just
broken out among cattle in this state
and Iowa the following opinions are
valuable.
To the frMitor of the Ilee :
Referring to the article "Mysterious
Cattle Disease" in THU BIK : of this
Tuesday , the ! ) Ui inst. , two days since
Mr. Whitney , of ElkhoraCii.y , brought
to mo for examination the stomach
and portion of the liver of an animal ,
one of two cattle that had died dur
ing the night of Tuesday last , having
been penned up perfectly well , appar
ently , at 5 p. m. of that evening. I
have not yet completed the examina
tion. Chemical tests , however , show
no evidences of mineral poison , and I
have no reason to believe that I shall
find a vegetable poison which can
be discovered by analysis.
The cattle wore penned up at night ,
and had been kept during the day on
a circumscribed space on the farm.
Early the next morning the owner
found sixteen dead and live dying. I
have since been told that an immed
iate neighbor has lost twenty-two
head ri the same manner. Those that
Mr. Whitney saw die feebly staggered
aboui or stood still , quivered with
tremors ; when succeeded jerking of
the limbs , rigid spasms and death.
I have tested specially for strych
nine.
nine.The
The stomach and portions of the
liver presented but little of inflamma
tion or abnormal symptoms , except
that the mucous lining was of a very
dark color. It appears ; is if the ani
mals died from blood poisoning. It his :
been surmised that eatng decayed corn
which has laid on the land might ac
count for the symptoms. Another
fact appears to have weight. Only the
younger animals died ; the older , ap
parently more wary , did not eat of the
material. CHAULE.S POSTEZ.
Dr. Herbert T. Foote , a veterinary
surgeon , arrived hero from New York
a few days since , having been engaged
by the Wyoming Stock Growers' As
sociation to inspect west-bound cattle
at Omaha , for the purpose of detecting
any coses of the dreadful pleuro-pneu-
monia wliich is raging in the east.
During the week that he has been here
the doctor has examined 1,200 head of
cattle , but found none- that had the
disease. On Monday afternoon he
was summoned to Council Bluffs to in
vestigate the cause of the fatal disease
referred to yesterday , from which
man } ' cattle have died. Ho found
in the south part of the city , in a part
of the flooded district , several such
cows and upwards of a do/.en dead
ones. A post mortem examination
was held in two cases , and Dr. Foote
reports the result as follows :
He found a virulent form of what is
known as anthrax , a miasmatic con
tagious disease. It originates sponta
neously in herbivorous animals , and is
contagious toall warm-hloodedspecies ,
not excepting even man. It is sup
posed to be due to a fungoid germ ,
arising from decomposing vegetable
matter , combined with a humid atmos
phere , and is found in swampy districts
or in lauds lately flooded. No
more is known about preventing
it than about preventing malaria
in men , and death may ensue
within two hours after the first symp
toms arc noticed , or the sickness may
last two days. The danger of conta
gion is one of the most alarming
tilings about this disease. It may be
carried from one animal to another or
to a man by inhalation , or contact , or
fr . . . oiiimai to ammai ny means ot
food or water , and is immediately con
tagious : is soon as t'to ' animal shows
symptoms of having the disease. It
has even been caught from the hides
of diseased cattle by men working in
the tanneries. Dr. Foote advises
those whose cattle were exposed to
keep them stabled closely , and tokecp
away themselves from sick or well
cattle.

POMPIER WORK.
A Display at Union Pacific
Headquarters Build
ing.
Some time since some of the mos'-
activc members of the Pioneer Hook
and Ladder company organized wliat
is known as the Pompier system , of
scaling buildings' for the purpose of
rescuing pel-sons and property from
burning structures.
Tuesday the Pompier section
gave an exhibition of their Work at
the Union Pacific building. Charles
Fisher , the foreman , was in charge ,
assisted by George Smith , captain ,
Janics Beard , LcwKroitch , JooKoes-
ter and Lew Storm.
Three Pompier ladders , a polo with
cross-bars , two sixteen feet in length ,
and one fourteen , were used. These
ladders have at one end a strong iron
hook , by which they are suspended.
Each man wears a Pompier belt six
inches wide , having a steel hook in
front , and also carries a rope arranged
in cosy slip knots.
On reaching the roof of a buildin
or any desired story , the ladders in
each instance being suspended from
the window silL ) , the pompier fastens
his rope to anything available , takes a
double turn of it through the hook in
his belt , and descends at any speed he
desires.
The exhibition was a complete suc
cess , showing satisfactorily that in
many cases of fires in high buildings ,
or where there is 110 fire escape , the
Pompiers can do what no other lire-
men can.
The most difficult | | feat performed
last evening was by Geo. Smith , who
dropped from the top of the building
tothe third story , where taking out J.
T. Baird , ho easily slid down with him
to the ground.
