THE SOLDlEllS1 IIOMR.
Thejvlsiting committee of the Nebraska
soldiers' and sailors' homo have just made a
report of their recent session at Grand Is
land. After carefully inspecting the build
ings and making n full Inquiry into the man
agement of the institution they report as fol
lows :
No charges of mistreatment of any In
mates or oPinsutlicient food were lilcd with
the board as required by the rules of the
homo , but rumors of mistreatment of in
mates bythe commandant , nnd of hisufllclent
supply of food having been circulated in dif
ferent portions of the state , the board , at the
request of the commandant , decided to waive
the formal presentment of charges , or com
plaints , und meet the inmates of the home in
the reading room , nnd each inmate was
asKed to make any complaints or present any
Charges he desired.
After hearing all the statements and testi
mony offered , and reading of sundry nlllda-
vlts , nnd duly considering the same , the
members of the visiting nnd examining
board decided by a unanimous vote that no
ground existed for the alleged complaints of
mistreatment of inmates of the homo by the
commandant , Colonel John Hammond , or of
insunicicnt supply of food , but that the
treatment of the inmates of the homo has
been good nnd that the table has boon sup
plied with plenty of good , wholesome food ,
In BUfllclcnt variety and properly cooked.

Constantly recurring accidents at target -

of tlio marker's indications , Have at
various times boon the subject of more
or loss perfect devices for tlio accom
plishment of the desired otul with lens
attendant danger , nud at the same time
greater exactness.
One of'thcso inventions was recently
described by a French military journal ,
which depends upon the use-of an elee-
trio current of elTecliven'ess ,
At live dilToronl points back of the
target are placed small keys consisting
of vibrating springs in front of a plate
of iron oovurcd with bristling points , a
small space separating the contact be
tween the points and the key. The cir
cuits starting from the keys run to an
annunciator with live drops , at the lir-
iujj bench. Uioncc to battery and
ground. From the plate behind the
target direct to ground. Now , when a
ball strikes within the space covered by
one of the little vibrating springs it
makes contact with the bristling points
on the plato back of the target , closes
the circuit and drops its proper shutter
at the Jiring bench.
It really does scorn as if this is not en
tirely now , but it is just as good for all
that ; and the use of it at High wood ,
near Chicago , a few _ weeks ago would
have saved a boy's life , which ho lost
while marking. Fortunately it was not
known who fired the fatal shot. As the
the lad failed to appear after several
shots had boon fired , search was made ,
and ho was found behind the target ,

About the most recent invention for
Lho application of electricity is Pro
fessor 'Wheeler's electrical fire engine.
"
It is intended to be worked by tho"cur -
rout of any of the overhead olocU'io
light wh-OH. The principal dilToronco
in the invention to the ordinary steam
lire engine is that the power is obtained
from the motor instead of a steam chot t.
According to the Now York Commer
cial Bulletin , ouch of the uew engines
will carry a reel of some five hundred
foot of insulated line copper wires ,
bound together cable fashion , bo as to
equal in strength a. No. : $ wire for the
transmission of the current. As by
this method the engine can be placed
anywhere , as the wires overhead can
bo tapped anywhere , the engine will be
placed nearer the fire than by the old
method. The powerful currbnt of an
arc light will nol be required , that .of
the ordinary mean descent c'.rcuit boi'ng
of sulllclont potential to run the motor.
Tlio advantages claimed for this now
method are many. Iu the first place it
is much lighter and , and much greater
speed etui therefore bo attained. Again ,
owing to the construction , it can bo
built for about one-third of tho'cost of
an ordinary steam flro engine. A very
important consideration is that , like ail
motors , it starts up immediately under
full speed. It is safer and easier of
control. It is noiseless , und is much
more economical , That this last point
is true , is perfectly evident. Tlio ex
pense for fuel for the present engine in
use IB considerable. 13y tapping the
wires overhead fuo'l Is provided gratis.
Thu above advantages ate claimed by
the inventor , and many of them scum
important , and , if the claims can be
substantiated , the invention will soon
be in universal use ,

paper and actual pennant winners , however ,
nre separate and distinct , nlTalrs. The Mil
waukee aggregation though Is certainly
splendidly prepared In every department.
Individually the team Is a line one , and nftor
comparing tholr roster of plnycrs with the
probnblo innko up of the other teams , It Is u
patent fact that tho.v will bo hard to head

will fall far short of what Is expected of
them.
Fossoiidrn SiiyH.
In discoursing upon the Western Associa
tion , National League Fcssondcn says ;
"The association abounds in some cxccl-
Icnt'players , who are good enough for any
club. Duryca nud Earlo , the battery secured
from this league by the Clnclnnatis , uro pro
nounced n splendid pair , that nro sure to
make their mark. Ilolliday , who is going to
thu sumo club , is admitted to bo ono of tin-
very best outfielders in the country. lie is a
wonderful fielder , base-runner nnd batsman.
Nnfjlo , of Omnlin , is a very Jlno catcher. Ilo
supported l ovett and held him well. Pickctt ,
of St. Paul , Is n short-stop fit to move In any
company. Then there nro two splendid
players in Long , of Kansas City , and llnnra-
tian , of the Chicagos. Had it not been for
the right of reservation , which allowed the
clubs to dispose of BOIIIO of their players ,
thnro would have been severe financial loss
nlong the Hue. Hig prices wcro realized in
more than ono instance , Having more than
ono club from an assessment. "
A State Tii > njHO ; Proposed.
The Grand Island , Lincoln , Hastings and
Fremont base ball lovers nro desirous of or
ganizing n stnto league. They have written
to J. J. Harden upon the feasibility of such
nn enterprise , nnd Mr. Himliti thinks that it
would bo a go. Ho is tjulto right , too , aa
there is but little doubt but that such n
project could be made a money-making one.
The rivalry between these eitiea would bo
much more intense than that which exists
in the western association , and largo crowds
would bo attracted to sou the games. Omaha ,
however , would bo the least desirable city to
include in the circuit , owing to the western
association , team hero ; yet , by careful man-
ageuictit , it could be made a success.
Tlio Ilest New Uulc.
Next season the batter will receive credit
for a sacrifice hit. The rule is n trillo broad ,
but Is the best of all those recently mnde ,
and is n long stride forward in the interests
of scientific base ball. A player who will
sacrifice himself to help a fellow player ad
vance a bwe , or bring a runner homo , de
serves as much as the man who makes a base
hit. The sacrifice column will take the place
of that set aside for stolen bases , and n
player will receive a credit mark therein
every time ho advances a man , save on a bnso
hit. Stolen bases will bo relegated to the
summary. This sacrifice rule will tend
greatly to Improve team work and do away
with record playing. Players will be cred
ited for their assistance in scoring runs anil
they will all work hard for that credit.

Chicago Tribune : Tlio pluokflbt girl
iu Oregon lu MIsH Minnie Wo.stmim of
Kutrouu. Slio curries the United Stiites
mail from tlio head of the Buialiuy river
up the Coast Hanpo to Ilnlc , n distance
of twenty miles. There she moots her
father , who carries the mail by
further on. This twenty miles whli'h
e-vor.v ilny Miss \Vestmnn traverses is
the wildest I'Ofrion of Oregon. It is
right in the heart of the rugged Cascmlo
Itnnge , nnd Is Inhabited by bears , cou-
gtirs , imnthors , nnd mountain lions.
These do not intimidate the bravo girl ,
howover. She carries Iho mail on
horseback nnd always has a pistol with
hor. Minnie is lively , and , of course ,
she is good looking. Once while climb
ing' the heights toward Hale from the
Suislaw a great big bear stood up in tlio
road in front of her ana sniffed the air.
Minnie happened to bo looking the
other way and did not see him. but the
horse did. nnd , wheeling suddenly in
roar , ho throw her otT. When she got
ii ] ) she sttw the bear. He was not forty
foot away. She turned , recaptured her
horse , and mounted him , and with much
dlllleulty pressed him past the bear. who
stood nnd blinked nnd looked ugly nt
her. She road fust , got through , and
made the tip-coming stage till right.
Another time she , was riding along
the Suislaw river , with her mail snclc
( lapping against her horse's siile. when
she saw ti hugo catamount stealing
along the great limb , of tin overhanging
tree. She had almost trot up to the
limb when she saw the catamount. At
once she bucked away from the tree and
llred lief pistol. Three times she shot
before the catamount would budge , but
then the cat fell. He got n way by hid
ing in the brush by the roadside. Next
time Minnie had a job on her bauds in
the shape of two tramps. They were
tired thny said nnd would like her hor.io
to ride. A glimpse at her shining gun
convinced them that they didn't want
any horse , and they made tracks in a
hurry. -
The worst experience she over had ,
however , was one day in .Tuly last. She
Hpiod a pretty 'little blaclc cub just at
the elbow of the Suislaw , where the
utooposl purl of the up-grade com-
monced. If you know what an old
'
bear is thai 'has cubs you know what
this girl Unew at once that they nro
not pleasant customers It ) moot. Shoran
ran awav as fast as she could , being
dragged by the horse , who needed no
eiicouragoiiiuat and who came near
wresting the hilching strap from her.
Luckily she was not followed. Miss
\Vcstinhnhns hiul n number of other
adventures , but has always managed to
get out of them in goo'd shape. She
makes Una lonely twenty miles nlono
every day , and has got to like the ex
citement of it.
