KEARNEY , Neb. , July 3. | Specnt | Tele
gram to tlio UIK. : ] A nice , cool , refreshing
bhower fell yesterday afternoon , placing tlio
ground In flno shape nnd making tlio ntr
, cool. The day could not have been finer ,
i There wore not entries enough for tlio S500
Irfa-for-alt race , henro It was postponed. For
porno unknown reason the Thurstona of
Omaha did not enter. The board of control
got together this morning nnd made out
prl/os for a frco-for-nll , no entrance , of 8100
to first , 850 to second , nnd 325 to third , both
lioso nnd hooks. Kearney Protection hooks
entered and tundo the race In 414-r > ,
dupllcatlnK tlio time of i'otk the same
' aft yesterday. The York boys were In the
city , but refused to enter. The Kearney boj s
, wanted to mnko them a liub-and-hub race ,
but York refused.
in the hosa race the Kramera and J. 0.
Sterns , of Kearney , thn Dorseys , of Jrc-
mont , and thn Alerts , of Cheyenne , entered ,
the Pad lies , of ( Irand Island , going home at
noon. Tim Kearney boys came first , mak
ing the time of 411-5. There was n hard
wind nnd thus the boys made another mnt-
nllicont nin. The Alerts camn next and
jnado tt.nlr time In 40 3-0. When It Is con
sidered that the Alerts used a hose cart
welching , with service pipes , 1.1GO
' pounds , the run was very fine. They
are an excellent company of men nnd
made a uraiul run. Their conduct here has
won them many warm friends and admirers.
The Dorsoyscame next , making a flno run ,
bat In nnreelinir the lie o the coupling was
completely broken , losing them the race.
This team Is composed of fine young men.
whose conduct here has reflected great credit
on them. By Ill-luck that they could not
help they lost some races. In all the hook
rices It must bo remembered that the ladders
were thirty feet instead ot twenty-four as
heretofore. The teams having lowered all
previous twenty-four foot ladder time , it
will bo seen that the time wade here Is un
precedented.
Thin evening the Cheyenne boys made an
exhibit down town by hooking the hose to a
hydrant , unraveling about 700 feet of hose
nnd putting water through a nozzle , all In the
short space ot thirty-seven seconds. Every
rnan knew his place and not a break was
inada from beginning to end. The exhibi
tion wns witnessed by an Immense crowd of
men and women.
Tills evening the Kramers nre parading the
streets with brooms and band , rejoicing over
their great victory.

terms of tbo will of Francis 13. Cutting there
was nothing to be allowed bis sons for acting

Itomrdy For Hcd Noses.
New York Mall and Express : The latest
novelty in.silver is a tiny powder box of
repousse work , lined with gold nnd
destined to bo carried in the pocket dur
ing the warm summer months by the
women , whoso noses are apt to become
shiny or whoso chins assume n roscnto
hue that increases in depth in proportion
to the gradual rise of the mercury. The
box , of course , contains n miniature
powder pud'of tlio kind that ono sees in
a French doll's outtit , and the daintiest
mirror imaginable is inserted in the lid
so that raailamo or mademoiselle may
0.7.0 upon her features as she npplies her
chalk or bismuth , and know just how
much to put on and how much to takeoff.
There are some conservative women
who consider the mso of face powder
highly objectionable. Hut , on the other
hand , there is no do'ubt'that this adjunct
to the toilet is aluinry.'so far as numbers
of fashionable datura ate concerned , es
pecially after the'hot , , wcathor sets in.
Nothing , or few things are uglier to look
upon than a shiny ; "rctli perspiring face ,
particularly when.thatfface belongs to n
pretty woman. ( Therefore the pocket
powder bo\cs ought to prove very wel
come. The price i .soaxi/iwhat exorbitant
it Is true $ 15 for the ilainust pattern.
But they are also manufactured in ivory
at the trilling cost of a dollar or so. A
Mail and . -writer
Expresswriter hap
pened to bd1 ! * , riding down
town the other , iday in " the Sixth
avenue elevated. Jisiiu.i Opposite sat a
young woman , and- directly facing her
was" ono of the" long , ' narrow looking-
glasses that adorn thecars. . It was ob
served ao she glanced toward this mirror
which she did at cvery'turn ' of her head
T-an expression ot annoyance crossed
her countenance. Finally she thrust her
hand into her Docket and pulled out ono
of the littio powder boxes just mentioned.
Then , without the least trace of embar
rassment , she proceeded to deftly to
powder her nose. A peed many of the
passengers stared nnd smiled. Hut on
the continent of Europe no self-respect
ing woman ever goes out witnout her
powder bov , anil soon , perhaps , the cus
tom will become general hero as well.
Cava'ry Hnrsca.
A cavalry olTicor says in the St. Louis
Goblo-Dcmocrat : Most company oih'cers
try to get their men mounted on horses
which are all of the same color , and in
every regiment wo have troops of black ,
gray , roan , bay and sorrel horses. Hay
horsoH nre the easiest procured , and con
sequently you will find several troops of
this color m each regiments. Blacks and
grays arc not so easy to get , and it is al
most impossible to got a roan troop.
Captain Wood , of the Fourth cavalry ,
has the tinest troop in the service ;
the horses are nll.mngniticcntiron grays ,
and it has taken "him a long time to
got them together. The regiment
is proud of this troop , and the oilicors al
ways give way to Captain Wood when a
line gray horse is purchased , so he can
scjcct it for his company. When a horse
is Iirst bought for the service ho is desig
nated by a number branded on his hoofs ,
but ; as soon ns this wears off he is allowed
to bo named by the soldier to whom ho is
assigned. Some troops have a uniform
system of naming their horses ; thus all
of the horses belonging to H troop of the
Fourth cavalry have names commencing
with the letter B. A great deal of atten
tion is given to the cavalry horses ; they
are carefully groomed nnd regularly
fed on tlio very best hay and grain
which tha government can procure.
The horses are retained in service
Just as long as they remain
sound and in good condition. When
they begin to fail in strength , become
blind or gctcripplod they are condemned
by n board of army ollicers. and are sold
at auction to the highest bidders. Some
horses remain in the scrvico for many
years. I have known of n horse which
was perfectly sound-after '
- twenty years'
service Tn one troop ; < Not a few horses
are condemned soon-flftpr being bought ,
for although they , qavo the appearance
of being all right , a short test shows that
they have not the imdtitanco necessary
for hard work. .Jn n < long campaign
animals suffer grcatlvlat times for want
of forage and watercDuin ; , , time of peace
the cavalry horse m'jy til } said to occupy
as enviable n position as , any reasonable
horse could desire. " 11
The
A Jewelry salesman * ays m the St.
Louis Globo-Democjatfj The opal has
come into fashion again < so suddenly that
its value has increased 95 per cent within
the past year. Although the prettiest
combination in jojyeirv ; is the oiml sur
rounded with diamonds , there was such
a prejudice against the opal that it had
gone out of use previous to thn recent
revival. It began to go out of fashion
about fifteen years ago , and there are
sensible women who are not superstitious ,
but who frankly admit they have a preju
dice Against opals. If the fashion can
maintain itself for the next year , it may
dissipate the popular projudfco and save
ono of the prettiest jewels from obscurity.
The opal is the jewel of October , so that
according to popular superstition these
born in that month are eafo in wearing.
I have hoard mny incidents ot opals ,
which no doubt wore the c.visos for the
loss of popularity , and the ascribing of
bad luck by the wearnrs has no doubt
deferred others from purchasing such ill-
omens. Then * U'a lady in the oity who has
afull , set of. opals and diamonds , ear-
*
,
rings , broastpln , bracelets , ring * and hat
Iii8 , that ii.not equalled by any other
set In tlio west. She was once prosper
ous and lived In wealth , but in the last
five years has had more misfortunes than
usually befall one woman. Divorce , loss
of fortune followed quickly upon the
other. She never wears her opals now ,
and It has boon frequently remarked by
her friends that they wore the cause of
her ill-luck. I know another lady who
a.crlbes misfortune to n beautiful onal
ring which she keeps because it Is an
heirloom , but will not wear It or allow
her children to wear It. It was given to
her by her brother when on his deathbed -
bed , and upon her return to the city she
wore it. The very first night the water-
pipes burst and caused a damage nf sev
eral thousand dollars. She had had a
presentiment that something ; was going
to happen , nnd after that night she
ceased to wear It. Several years later
her daughter put it on and a gentleman
friend was so taken with its appearance
that ho asked to wear it. What followed
is considered remarkable. He had boon
very prosperous , and had lately gone up
like a rocket. Shortly afterward he fell
as suddenly. Ho returned the ring , hav
ing become a convert to the popular
prejudice.

Alta California : An antiquated Indi
vidual , dressed in oxcoedlngly shabby
clothes , and with a gr.iy hirsute .npcnd-
ago to his chin that would have mndo an
ambitious coat of the male persuasion
feel decidedly envious , ambled into the
rooms of the state mining bureau yester
day. Ho immediately began to inspect
the varieties of ores and minerals on ex
hibition ilioro as if he was an officer reg
ularly appointed by the state for that pur
pose. His advent upon the scone was
soon made apparent by a series of guttu
ral sounds winch ho emitted at intervals
of five seconds. At last those sounds cul
minated in a prolonged :
"Howlin1 snakes 1"
He was standing before some particu
larly line specimens of gold quartz.
"I s'poso they call that gold , " ho
snorted , addressing a meek little man
who stood beside him.
The meek little man nodded assent.
" \Vagh , " with another snort , this time
indicative of disgust. "D" they call them
specimens of " 41) ? Say , t don't reckon
you wore up at 'Cuss the Luck' bar ,
were you * "
"I don't think I over was , " said the
meek man , thoughtfully.
"Of course you never knowcd Jem
Hastings then ; mo and him ran the bar
in tlio early 50s. Talk of gold. Why wo
wauldn't trouble 'bout them ere chunks
of gilded rock. Wo hod the lumps of
solid metal big as your hand. Whore
d'ye s'pose our mine was ? "
"Give it up. " was the laconic reply.
"Right in the middle of Mudhen lake ,
and ' tur'blo down "
'twas deep , too.
The meek little man began to show
signs'of interest , and inquired how they
got the auriferious article from the
watery depths.
"Ah " the ancient with
, pnrstied ono a
chuckle , "that's whar our genius comes
in. You sou , Jem owned a big duck.
Ps name was Buster. Wo discovered the
mine in this way _ . Ono day Buster was
diving and bavin" a royal time in the
water , and after he had been sportin'
about this way for'bout an hour , wo
see'd him swimmin's to shore with some-
thin' shiny in his beak. Cuss mo
if 'twas'nt a nugget of gold.
'Rah , ' says Jem , 'our fortune's
made. Ho took Buster and petted
him itnd gave him a solid meal of col d
grub. Wai , that kinder encouraged the
bird , and as soon as he hod stalled him
self , Btistor jest wont _ out on that ere lake
agin and begun diving and bringin' up
the gold at a great rate. Yn kin jest
bang mo with a pick handle if Buster in
the course of the next two hours didn't
work like a Digger Injun when he gits a
flask of whisky , aud pile up a reg'lar
heap of little nuggets on the shore. Then
ho got kinder tired , and wo took him
and the gold to the tent. VVal , " con
tinued the ancient narrator , taking a
deep breath , "we worked Buster for two
days , and yar had bettor b'licvo that
wo had a goodish sight of gold.
More'n twenty-five pounds , I guess.
Then an ijee struck Jem. Ho
concluded that there were bigger
nuggets at the bottom of the lake which
Buster couldn't handle , so we rsggcd up
a new scheme. We throw a big sack
into the lake with a rock in it , so that it
would sink , and with a rope tied to the
top of it. First we showed it to Buster
and ho quacked as if ho knowed just
what it was , for , and when wo throw it
into the lake Buster followed. Ho was
out of sight in a minute , and stayed under
a long time. Next we seed him poke his
head up for a minute , as if to breathe ,
and then go down agin. 'He's lillin' up
sack , sure,1 says Join. It'bout an hour
Buster swam ashore , and cocked his
weather eye up at us as if to say , 'It's all
right.1 Join and 1 took hold of the
rope to pull the sack in ; but it
wouldn't budge 'twas so loaded with
gold. Wall , to make a long story short
for it grieves mo to think of it Jom
got mad and waded in to get a better
grip , and got caught in an undercurrent ,
or somotlun' , and was drowned. Buster
was sittia'on the shore watchin' pro
ceedings , an' when ho seed Jem go under
ho jcs cave one agoni/.m' quack and
jumped in too. He act'ally committed
suiciod for love of him. 1 couldn't git
the bag ashore , so 1 cut the rope of short.
I left with what gold was in the tout , but
I lost it in unfortunate speculation. Now ,
what I propose is this : I know the loca
tion of that 'ere lake , and if I could git
some capitalists , like you , for instance"
"Say , " cried the little man , Indigna
tion getting the better of his habitual
meekness , "did you over hear of Ana
nias ? "
"Annio Nice " said the " "
? "tough" cua-
tpmor , thoughtfully ; "sho inought have
lived over lu Poor Shoat's camp , but I'm
dangcd if there was a petticoat of that
name our way. "
"Hero , " cried the diminutive man ,
ngoin , "take this quarter and go and buy
a pamphlet cddition of Baron Munclmu-
son. "
"Thankeo"muttered the other , aecopt-
ing the silver , "that will do towards or
ganizing aii exploring party. But Jomme
toll you somethin' 'buut tbo childhood
days of Jem's duck. "
But the little man had vanished , and
the self-styled rohu of the departed days
of gold lost no time m following his ex
ample.
The Limit of Life.
Cosmopolitan : It would appear in
fact as though five ncoro years wore the
natural or normal limit of human life :
and that when men die many years be
fore that ago is attained , the fault , apart
from malignant disease or accident , has
lain wi'h ' themselves. Underlying the
old provcrp , "Kvory man is a fool or a
physician at forty , " there is the import
ant truth that it is in every man's power ,
if ho Is wise , to rccogjiizo early in life
( like Cor n are ) the requirements of his
own constitution , and the moans by
which all such stores of vitality as it may
possess may bo utilized. An able phy
sician said to mo a short time ago : "In
nil my experience i have never
known but ono man who
really died a natural death ; '
and ho went on to explain that a man can
only bo said to die a natural death when
he dies all at once , when the organs on
which circulation , respiration , and nutri
tion depend , all fall at abont the uanio
time ; wncruas one man dies because cir
culation fails , another because the re
spiratory organs give out , and yet an
other because stomach , liver , kldnuya , or
bowels bocomd unequal to their work.
In line , the secret of longevity lies In the
attainment of a natural llfu to bo brought
to an cud by a natural death ; and uctirly
every man , did ho but give his vital
powers fair chances , would tind that , llko

Now York Truths 1 am told , nnd the
authority is very close to the principals
in the transaction , that it was neither
Mr. Jay Gould nor Mr. Cyrus W. Field
who engineered the llttlo transaction
that cost the latter 3.000,000. It wns
young Mr. George Gotilii who thought it
nil out and fixed it nil up , while hi.s father
was away yachting for the benefit of his
health. Ho did not dare , however , take
the responsibility on his own shoulders
of striking the blow , and ho therefore
waited for his father's return. Iho
father came back , thn sledge-hammer
fell , nnd Mr. Field wns scattered. A
further bit of intimate history in connec
tion with this affair is that young Mr.
Gould has been determined for n long
time , if ho over got it in his power , to
strike a hard blow nt Mr. Field , nnd the
cause of It was a decided slight once put
upon young Mrs. Gcorgo Gould , formerly
Edith Kingdon , by the old linancicr , who
little thought of the reprisals he would
one day bo compelled to suflbr.
Just Try It.
Try a sun bath for rheumatism.
Try clam broth for n weak stomach.
Try cranberry poultice for erysipelas.
Try eating fresh radishes nnd > ellow
turnips for gravel.
Try swallowing saliva when troubled
with sour stomach.
Try eating onions and horse-radish to
relieve dropsical swellings.
Try buttermilk for the removal of tan
and walnut stains and freckles.
Try the croup tippet when the child is
likely to bo troubled in that way.
Try hot flannel over the scat of neural
gia pains and renew frequently.
Try a cloth wrung from cold water put
about the neck for sore throat.
Try walking with jour hands behind
you if you are bent over.
