'Ihuro ha1) not been twonty-four hours
without rain slnco the state soldiers
rf. went into camp Monday morning aud
JriftH they break camp to-day It has been in
consequence of tiio repeated rains nnd
much dampness , wholly impossible to
carry out any Held programme , and the
result Is that the camp lias lost muuy of
its attractive features that call the public
as spectators. The reviews have been
shortened and interfered with by the
rains , much of tlio company work has
been broken up by the weithor. The
tents and the grounds have been damp
nnd wet day and night and as a result It
lias been a most disagreeable time in so
fur us the weather could make it. Not-
witiistitndlng nil this the soldiers are
united in their expression that it has been
a great time and it would require a long
stretch of the imagination to tell what
kind of a time it would have been under
smiling skies and fair weather. Ycster-
dav the entire brigade was expected lo
make 11 marching detour through the city
but tliu streets were practically impassa
ble and it would have rosl tlio state a
new uniform for every man in line if the
march had been made. Thu day before
the grand review by the governor and
staff had to bo postponed , nnd it was ex
pected to occur at 4 p. m. yesterday.
To allow the dilloront companies to
reach homo before Sunday camp will bo
rrbroken this morning lit 8 ti. in. The fol
lowing congratulatory and dismissal gen
eral order was yesterday made public in
the camp :

The competitive drill for the gov
ernor's challenge cup occurred in the
morning hours yesterday and was wit
nessed by a largo crowd. This is a drill
by companies , and as the companies in
the Second regiment have but just been
organized , only companies in the first
regiment were competitors. Adjutant
General Colo. Lieutenant . S. Dudley
aud Colonel S. J. Shirley were the judges
of the drill , which did not terminate
until 1 p. m. Company E , of Fremont ,
was an easy winner aud the work of the
company was exceptionally line.
THE FATE OF A DESERTER.
Rufus Hood , the deserter from the
Fairbury company , lias found the way of
transgression against military discipline
hard. When he waa arrested at Beatrice
he was lodged in jail over night and
brought back to camp the next morning.
Since tliat time ho has been in the guard
house , under guard , awaiting sentence
that was reached yesterday. Captain F.
M. Dorrington , of company K , Captain
li. F. Arnold , of company K , and Cap-
lain William Hisholl jr. , of COM puny C ,
were detailed by Colonel Sweet to near
the case. The mini plead guilty to
tlio charge of desertion , but liku
the Missouri justice who , when
a horse thief plead guilty took the evi
dence in the case to ecu if the thief was
tolling the truth , the court martial took
evidence in tlio case against Deserter
Rood. Their ( hiding was that Hood
should bo reprimanded publicly before
the regiment , forfeit his pay and commu
tation , deliver his arm * and uniform to
thu company and bo dishonorably dis
charged. The judge advocate general ,
Major John C. Watson , approved of the
iihding and the public reprimand and
dismissal from the service waa ono of the
incidents m the proceeding yesterday
afternoon.
SOLDIER EDITORS.
It in ft noticeable feature of Camp
Thayer that there uro a number of news-

CAMP NOTK8.
The Journal yesterday in its report , and \
in speaking of the heavy rains said that t
the guards returned to their posts after
the rain. The boys resent this imputa
tion ; not a man of them left their beat
during the rain , and consequently there
irta none to return.

tion in Gage county.
COUNT ! ' t'OUTlCS.
To-day the Lancaster republican
county convention meets and all day yes
terday the candidates were rushing
among the delegates trying to determine
just what they had to count upon. Iho
fact , however , seems to bo generally ac-
copied that nothing was Ihmlly settled at
the primaries. The contest for district
judge la yet an unknown quantity as to
results , although the candidacy of Allen
Field was a good deal dampened by the
results in several of the wards. The fact
that Field is fairly chronio m Booking of
lice is no recommendation to him in the
race. The convention to-day promises to
bo lively from opening to close.
HHIKF ITEMS.
Police court was lightly attended yes
terday. Only the usual number of plain
cascs'of intoxication called the attention
of the judge.

Itaplcl Btoiingrnptilc Writing.
Iloston Herald : It is believed that
stenograpcrs in this section , as well as
those naviug occasion to employ them ,
will bo interested in the result of a test
as to the possible speed of stenography ,
which took place at the convention of the
Now York State '
Stenographers' associa
tion , at Alexandria ISay , N. Y. , August
10 and 17at which the writer was present.
The test was in consequence of an offer
of a $50 gold medal to any stenographer
who should write 250 words a miiuito for
live consecutive minutes , from reading of
now matter , and should road it back cor
rectly. The offer was made by Mr. A. P.
Little , of Rochester , a member of the
Now York State Stenographers' associa.
tion , and was made by reason of state
ments which have appeared from time to
time regarding phenomenal rates of
speed attained by western stenographers.
Mr. Little's challenge was n very
sweeping ono. and the pri/.o offered , to
gether with the renown to be gained by
tlio person who .should curry it oil' , was
calculated to attract to the contcbt each
stenographer who believed that ho could
perform the feat. In fact , during the
year that the oiler has been before the
stenographic public , Mr. Little has re
ceived letters , for tlio most part from
western stenographers , deriding him , in
n measure , for his disbelief in the possi
bility of performing the feat , and , by im
plication at least , claiming superiority
for the western reporters over those of
the cast , generally stating that unless
sickness or death should intervene the
writer or ono of his friends would bo on
hand and carry off the pri/.o , The fact
that but two stenographers presented
themselves as candidates for gold
and laurels viz , Mr. Fred Irlanti ,
of Detroit , aud Mr. Isaac L. Dement ,
of Chicago would seem to indi
cate that the year past has bcon an un
healthy one among fusr stenographers.
Of Messrs. Irbuul and Doment only the
latter made the trial , the result showing
that Mr. Little know what ho was talk
ing about. Mr. Irlund read to Mr.
Dement from a printed copy of notes of
testimony supplied by Mr. Little ; n com
mittee consisting of Mr. iiishop and Mr.
Thornton , members of the association ,
and Mr. Kaston , a stenographer practic
ing in Washington , making the selec
tions of matter. Mr. Doment tried three
times to accomplish his object , but failed ,
although thu results indicated that ho
was a Iirst-class stenographer , and that
possibly ho might have mot with bettor
success in & trial loss calculated to upset
his nerves , if indeed , he has any , than bo-
fora any assembly composed of forty or
lifty competent stenographers , three of
whom bold watches in their
hands , as a committee , the major
ity of the lomainder keeping time
and watching the lightning-like move
ments of his pencil for their own satis
faction. On one trial Mr. Dement wrote
after a reading 1,21)3 ) words in u'vn min
utes , an average of 258-2-5 words per
minute , but failed to got all of it , though
the committee reported , as the writer re
members , that ho made but threa minor
errors and ono flagrant ono. The other
tests wore failures , ono by reason of Mr.
Irland making a miscalculation and
resiling but 1,200 words in the live min
utes , It not being known how near Mr.
Dement came to writing the 1,200 words ,
whether he did it or not.
Ono of the elements upon which Mr.
Little relied was the extreme difficulty of
reading or speaking 1,200 words in tire
minutes. On the whole , Mr. Little was
proved to have a fair idea of what could
bo done in writing shorthand than ha
was given credit for , while Mr. Doment
proved himself to bo entitled to bo rated
among the tirst-class stenographers ol
the country , of whom the statement lias
baon made , and not gainsaid , that there
are not more than forty in the United
States.

PLAYING FARO BY TELEGRAPH
How the Gambling Law is Oleverly Evaded
in Cincinnati.
A VERY INTERESTING SYSTEM.
Uovr the Boys Win nnd liooo by Elec
tricity 1'roinlnent Business
men at the Dux How the
Scheme la Worked.
Cincinnati Enquirer : Faro is played
In Cincinnati by tclcgaph. This may bo
astonishing information but nevertheless
it is true.
While in Cincinnati , the largest town
of the state , gambling houses are closed ,
the game is in full blast in nearly every
other city In tlio stato. In Clevclani
Columbus , Toledo , Chillicotho , Nowa i ,
Washington C. II. and Xcnia the gainii
flourishes with unwonted vigor , nnd
nearly every one of these towns has good
support for their names by telegraph
from Cincinnati , lot so quietly has tbo
scheme been worked that as much as En
quirer reporters circulate in all classes aud
grades of society the matter was never
understood until recently.
A few days ago an Enquirer reporter
was in the city of Columbus. While there
ho met n well known knight of the green
cloth who formerly ranked high in Cin
cinnati sporting circles.
"No gambling going on 'n ' Cincin
nati ? " ho remarked , with a smile , after
ho had greeted the Enquirer emissary.
"Nary a game. "
"Chief Doitsoh has closed 'em all up
and no one can bet on faro ? "
"Nary a bot. "
"Suppose I should tell you that both
you and Chief Dcitsch are fooled , and
that faro is
PLAYKl ) KVKKV1IAV IN CINCINNATI ,
and sometimes heavily nt that.- "
"I would say you are certainly mis
taken. "
"What do you say to this ? " said the
young man , with a sort of chuckle , us ho
pulled from a bunch of telegrams in his
hand ono which read as follows :
"Call the turn six jack the first time
you catch the two cards mimed in the
box at the end of the deal for $ 13.50. "
"Why , it's faro by telegraph. "
"Certainly , that's ' just what it is. "
"Is much of it done1'-
" 3fiS ! , considerable. You know , there
are lots of young business and profes
sional men in Cincinnati who like to
dally with the arne occasionally. I be
lieve the thing lirst started with a crowd
of those young gentlemen. They were
all together ono night m Cincinnati , hav
ing a gay timo. Ono of them remarked
that ho longed for a go ugaiust the old
gamo. Another of the party suggested
that they telegraph a bet up there , just
for fun. They all jumped at the propo
sition ns a novelty. Filteon minutes
later a dealer in n well-known game here
received a dispatch ordering him to bet
§ 25 on
TUB ACE TO WIN.
then it came cases. Ho did so , and it
won. There was further telegraphic
correspondence , which terminated by
tlio Cincinnati crowd pulling out nearly
flOO winner. The last dispatch that
night was : "Wo are going out to open a
case of wine and paint the town red on
your money. " Since then the thing lias
noun going on regularly. Ouo man in
Cincinnati , popular in society and in
business circles , who has a passion for
playing the high card , telegraphs up ? 10
or | 20 on the high card to win nearly
every night. Ho is about u stand off now
but it used to bo a well-known fact
among Cincinnati gamblers that this
man was away winner betting on the
high card. "
"Do you over get minute particulars as
to what kind of a play to make ? "
"Certainly. They designate the sys
tem , and describe how they want it
phiyQdout. "
"Isn't that very expensive don't the
telegraph tolls eat up the winnings' : "
"No. The fact is , the player econo
mizes in the end. Take it in Cincinnati ,
for instance. When a regular player
woultl make a winning he would always
taUo some follow who was sitting around
to $ ! ) or $10 to play with , would give the
case-Hooper a couple of dollars , then buy
u few rounds of drinks down stairs. So ,
you see , its about an oven thing after
all. "
"How do you manage it about collect
ing and paying out ? " .
MARKERS 1'UT UP.
"Somo players telegraph their money
up , and we telegraph it back when they
close their play if they witi.
The well known men. however ,
the parties wo would put up
markers for in Cincinnati , do not do this ,
They telegraph simply their orders and
\vu put up our markers. If they lo'o
they soud us a chock or registered lottor.
If tiiey win wo treat thorn the same way.
Como to think of it , we got two registered
letters from Cincinnati yesterday. One
was from one of the best known business
men in the Bottoms. Ho knocked us
out of $500 the previous week , though.
"Who do they generally couimuuiuato
with ? "
"Many telegraph to the proprietors or
dealers of the game direct , and their
plays are made with us much fidelity us
if they wcro on hand to manipulate the
chips themselves. Others deal through
the outsiders or curb-stono men , but
they have to split up thu money with
them and it is not so profitable. "
TESTING IT AT HOME.
Amazed beyond compare with what ho
had heard and sconthe reporter returned
to Cincinnati , determined to open a little
investigation. Last night about 8 o'clock
ho strolled into ono of the popular Vine
street resorts where he know some of the
lly boys about town used to congregate
Saturday evenings bcforo starting out for
a good timo. Ho had not been in the
place very long before ho was startled by
tlio remark a prominent young man at
one of the tables made to his three com
panions. It was this : '
"Let's make up a pool of $100 , nnd bo
in and in to-night. No use of all of us go
ing in separate and playing against ouo
nnnttint * . "
The reporter know thcra all well , and
dctcrniinud to llnd out what waa going
on , so ho made a bold bluff to got on the
inside.
'Just making up a little pot to go
ngainst Columbus to-night , 1 Hiipposul"
he remarked to ono of the crowd.
"What do you moan ? " was the rejoin
der , with au air of profound surprise.
" ( .Hi , como now. I know all about the
scliomo. Everybody here is playing faro
in Columbus now by tcle raph. I hope
you will win , boys. "
Seeinc that the newspaper man was
fully informed , and oztracting a promise
not to be giVen away us far as names
wcro concerned , the boys then took the
reporter into their confidence , and the
following rather lengthy dispatch soon
flashed over the wires :
THE I'AHO nilDER.
"To Mr. , No. street , Colum
bus , O. : Take the tray of spades , throw
It out of a window and note after it
alights if the spots fall next to the grounder
or are presented to the blue hearens
above. In case the spots fall next to tbe
ground play cross color * , coppering the
spades and hearts , and playing the clubs
and diamonds open. 1'lay only cases.
Let the lirst bet be for $12.50.
In case you win this bet pre. s
the next ffl.23. but pinch fO.05
the bet following the first but
in case you lose. Follow this system
strictly throughout the deal , provided
always you don't get broke. When it
comas to the last turn , if it bo possible ,
call tlio turn on the system of coppering
the spades and hearts , cxcopt In the case
thnt there should bo.'left in the box a
dctico nnd a king. In that event call tha
turn dcuco king for all the money thnt
you can put down. Do this in remem
brance of Tom Hartshorn. In case the
spots on the tray of spades previously
lentioncd should bo turned tip. play
.ross colors opposite to the system nbovc
ncutioncd that Is , copper the clubs anil
'iamonds and play thu spadrs open.
"At the end of the lirst deal ( if vott
ave any velvet ) , cash in the original
aplt.il and start the next deal on thn
iank'8 money , and whack it to them for
,11 sho's worth. Try to win f500 , but if
, 'ou get loser at any stage , keep on play-
ng until you are good and broke. In
ho event you are lucky at tlio start , keen
aising your hots $0. ° o at a crack until
'on reach the limit , and , if possible , com-
> el the dealer lo request you to pinch. "
At midnight the crowd started out in a
.ack on the strength of a telegram that
tick was with them , and they were f 375
winners ,

When ontnrrh 1ms existed In thn hend nnd the
upoer part of thu throat for any length of time
tre patlunt living In u district whuro people
nru subject to cntiirrhnl affection- the ills-
c BU ling boon lott tinciired , thn catiirth Invuri-
nbly , sometimes slowly , extends down the
windpipe and Into the bronchial tubes , which
tubuHConvov the nlr to the different pirts of
the lungs. The tubiH become nllected from
thu HwcllltKT nnd the mui'tms tulslng from
catarrh , nnd , in fromu instances , become plugpod
up. BO thnt the ulr e.uinot gt'l In us troolyanlt
should. tiliortno'H of hrentli follows , nnd the
patient breathes with laboriuid dllllnulty.
In oltlier cnso thcra Is n sound of nrnckllngr
nnd trluvMlng Insldo flip chest. At this stngo of
thodlsonsntho brcnthlnir Is usually more inpld
than when In honlth. The patient has also hot
ushus over his body.
Tim pain which accompanies this condition U
of a dull character , felt In the client , behind the
breast bone , or under the bliouldor blndo. The
pain iimycomonnd go lust few clajs and then
fie nbscnt for sovoinl others. Thr cough Hint
occurs In the first stuecft of bronchial catarrh U
dry , comes on at Intervals , hacking In charac
ter , and Is usually ino-t troublesome in tno
morning on rising , or going to bed at night and
It may bo In the first evidence of the disease ex
tending Into the limps.
Sometimes there nro fits of coughing Induced
by the tough mucus so violent us to canso vom
iting. Later on the mucus that Is raised. Is
found to contain snuill tmrticlcs of yellow mnt-
ter , which indicates that the small tubes In the
lungs arc now nlfoetoii. With this there aio
often streaks of blood mixed with the mucus.
7n some CUBCS the patient becomes very pnle.
lias fever , and expectorates bolero any cough
appears.
In some cn ea small mnsscs of choesv sub-
stnnro mo spit up , which , when pressed be
tween the lingers , emit n bad odor. In other
cases , pniticles ( it n hard , chalky nature are
( pit up. The raising of choosy or chalky lumps
Indicate serious uilshicf nt work In the lungs.
When a person with n delicate constitution
has n tendency to caturch or consumption
whether this trmdunay is inherited oricsnltfl
from taking cold onplly , It Is noticeable thnt
t'nut person invariably loses llnnh und losua
strength , elunvlnjf Hint the nutrition Is inter
fered with.
In inch a cnso the sufferer pbould nt once bo
placed under Inlluencos that will restore the
detective nutrition and tend to invigorate the
constitution.
It Is to b6 romoiiibored that In every cnso the
presence of catarrh IB an uvldencu of predis
position to consumption , mid no mutter how
KlMit the attack may be , it f-hould bo treated
with the great oft cnro and the treatment
should bo continued until all tiacos of the
ontnrrh Imvo disappeared.
If the catarrh Is nllowed to reach the smaller
tubes in the lungs-whlch condition is Indi
cated by the spitting up of n yellow mntoilal
then Immediate attention to the nmludy Is do-
nmnded or serious lung trouble will result.
Catarrh , It is said , Isnlno timtsout of ten tbo
cause th'it produces consumption , and hence
no oiiu can afford to neglect n case of catarrh ,
however slight. It Is easily cured If taken in'
time and treated regularly and correctly by a
specialist. If loft to Itself it Is rarely cured
without a changoof ollnmto. but with each new
rold It gels moro nnd tuoro troublesome , ex
tending always a little deeper Into the lungs ,
until a euro becomes dlflicult and sometimes
Impossible.
In such a climate ns this , the throat should bo
as oiretully and frequently looked nf tor us the
teeth. Vol. much moro caitilully looked to , ng
trojblea of the throat nru moro numerous than
dentnl troubles ; aud.whllo the latter cuu u only
