[ Special Tclei-ram to Tim Bun. ] There Is
nn old adngo among boating men that n race
It never won until lliilshoil. Tills fact was
well exemplified today In the races of the
sixth annual Iowa rc.cttn , nnd It inny glvo
four Council Bluffs Imys elegant gold meilnls ,
filthough tlioy wcro the slowestof four crews.
They wore put nt u big disadvantage bccaiiso

The shell nices > vero u intlo and n half with
turn. The wuter was somewhat rough , and a
cross wind miido the tlmo Blower than usual.
The dny wus perfect bright , but delight
fully cool , In the junior four-oared ratio
Council muffs caught the word llrst , hut
they wonts gradually outrcachcd by Cedar
Kaplils , Duhuquo nnd Burlington. The last
three crews steered out Into the lalco and him
to turn almost at a light angle to get back.
Cedar Knplds got urouud their Hag nil right ,
hut the Judges are of the opinion that Bur
lington and Davenport made the turn from
hturboard to port Instead of In the
opnoslto direction , which would dis
qualify them. Council Bluffs steered
a beautiful course nnd gained enough to win
second. Going up to the Hags the four crews
wcru pretty well together , but after the turn
thoyHOon strung out into a procession In the
following order : Cedar Kaplds , Burlington ,
Davenport mid Council Bluffs. Cedar Kap-
ids had a lead of llvo lengths , pulled easily ,
and never was a raw moro surely won until
within a hundred vards of the llnlsh , when ,
without a warning , the rudder of the Cedar
Rapids shell suddenly Hew into midair while
her nose sought the bottom of the Inlto and
four shirtless young men were left to float
uutll a row boat should pick them
up. The chamber In the bow of the boat
lllli'd with water through a holein the deck
and sunk her. Burlington finished first in 11
minutes , r.t : seconds , Davenport in IS :30 : and
Council BlutTs in 13:10. :
Ono of the rules In this nnd most other row
ing associations is that every boat mustabido
by Its own accidents. This rule would lojo
the race to Cedar It'iplds if theru wcro no
complications. Cedar Haplds , however ,
claims that Davenport folded her unit broke a
hole hi her deck which caused
the sinking accident. Davenport
rros-cd the stern of Cedar Kuplds ,
while It was the how of the shell that sunk.
Davcdpoi-t denies fouling , and maintains that
it was Cedar Haplds that was out of her
water. The Judges reserved their decision ,
If Cedar Rapids' claim of foul is denied ,
Burlington and Davenport making the wrong
turn , tlio vice and the medals will go to
Council llluffs.
The free-for-all single was won by J. (1. (
Corn-belt of Chicago in 11 : ! > ' . ; . G. U. Turner
of McGregor was second.
The junior double was won by McGregor
in 11 : ( ) ' , ) , DiiDuquo second.I. L. Dodge and
N. 1' . Dodge , jr. , of Council Bluffs third , Bur
lington fourth. Cedar Hapids llnlshcdisecond

turn.

The junior pair was won byDubuquoin
llifiOj Burlington second.
J. Li. Dodge of Council Bluffs withdrew
from the junior single , his shell being unfit
for use. J. A. Kocho of Cedar Rapids won
the rnco In 11 : ! i8)f , CharlesCaso of McGregor
second , l-i. Karlo of Davenport third , Gus
Lyon of Ottumwa fourth.
Kmllo Duff of Duhuquo won the canoe race ,
and Low Anderson of Cedar Haplds the tub
race. ;
Tomorrow's contests will bo senior races.
Later After three hours of talk and testi
mony taking , the Judges have awarded the
Junior four-oared nice to Council Bluffs. The
claim of foul made by Cedar Unplds
ngainst Davenport was not sustained.
IJnvcnport was disqualified for turning in the
wrong direction unit liurllngton for not going
around n ling In making her turn. These de
cisions nro based on rules long established In
boating and enforced In almost every regatta.
There was an unusual number in this race ,

The DCS jMolnofi To i in Disbands.
Dis MOINRS , Iu. , July 15. [ Special Tele
gram toTm : Hun. ] The Des Molnes baseball
club is n thing of the past. Today was pay
day and then ) was not money enough in sight
to liipildato tlio salaries of the players. A
meeting of thu stockholders of the club was
held this afternoon , and nfter a thor
ough canvass of the situation it was
thought best to drop the club and release the
players , which was done this evening. Ap
peals of the strongest kind were made
to the business men of the city
to como to the rescue , but tone
no purpose. Of the sixty-ilvo games so far
played them has been an average net loss of
JIO per gamo. Tlio team was lu bad condition
and there was no money to strengthen It.
The Interest in the game hero seems too
antithetic to sustain n club. It is not known
that any other city will fill the vacancy , al
though Lincoln was understood some tlmo ago
to hare n bid in.

leasing Nat Hudson , George Meyers and Es-
terqucst , the young Chicagoan recently

Hudson had pitched tweutv-ono games and
won sixteen , but his salary of $400 a month
was too much for the management to bear ,
Iludsot nnd Meyers , it Is said , will join the
Buffalo Players' lenuuo team. Shrove has
been released by St. Paul. - Denver Is nego
tiating for the transfer of Foster and Henglo
to that team. _

STAUSTOS , Neb. , July 15. ! [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : BKK.I At 11:30 : o'clock today a
tcrriblo accident occurred on the farm of
William Loney , four miles northwest of this
place , which , resulted In the death of his
brother , \Vyatt Lonoy. The circumstances
are as follows : At.i:3Uo'clockClmrles : : Wyatt
nnd William Loney , in company with John
Stlngley , attempted to nlwm oat n well from
which water was taken for stock only.
Charlesf descended llrst , but had only
reached the bottom when he was overpowered
by foul air and lost his hold of the rope.
Stln cloy went down Immediately and
hooked Into Charley's clothes , but the
hook tore out and Stlngley was then over
powered.
Then Wyatt went down , hooked on to
Stlngley and the latter was hauled out by
William iionoy , but in the meantime Wyatt
was overpowered , thus leaving two dying
men In the well. Mr. Loncy at once
rang the bell , nnd , with the other
alarming noises made by the family , suc
ceeded in bringing aid from the harvest fields
In the vicinity ,
Means were resorted to to remove the
poisonous air from the well nnd an attempt
made to rescue the unfortunate ones ,
but not until the air was
nil rilled could they bo reached.
They wore finally removed after being im
prisoned and unconscious for ono hour nnd
thirty inluute.i. Charles Loney and John
Stlngloy were resuscitated , but the efforts of
the attending physicians failed to bring the
remaining victim to life.
Van AVyok's Address at Waterloo.
\VATIW.OO , Neb. , July 15. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Br.r. . ] About six hundred people
ple assembled nt the picnic grounds , from the
alliances of this county , today. Banners were
berne by each alliance , with mottos : "Every
thing Mortgaged But Our Vote. " "Godspeed
the Plow. " "I love the farmer" Dorsoy ;
parenthetically added "and his chattel mort
gage. "
At 2 o'clock John Steer introduced Hon. C.
W. Van Wyck , wtio was received with thrco
rousing cheers , The speaker began by thank
ing the audience for his cordial reception ,
"We have mot to consider questions of inter
est. It Is the object of till to engage in what
is remunerative. The country is divided ac
cording to iutciest. In some sections of the
country the tariff Is beneficial , and there it Is
advocated , no matter whether democrat or
re publican. '
At this point the speaker was Interrupted
by the firing of firecrackers and other sounds
from a short distance from the stand. Ho
asked if that was gambling , and took occa
sion to refer to a feature of prohibiting gam
bling at the Lincoln fair , which was his
work while in the state senate. This led him
to the subject of lotteries nnd the action of
the North Dakota legislature , and thus Louisi
ana and Governor Nicholls1 veto wcro treated
at length.
Ho then came back to where the fire
cracker Interruption found him. and spoke of
Randall and Kelly , Pennsylvania's two great
tarlfC men , ono a democrat and the
other a republican , who agreed on the
tariff , showing it was not a
question of politics , but of interest. The in
terest of Wall street is to make money scarce.
The complications of the silver bill wcro
next shown , nnd that it is to the interest of
the money power to keep it obscure. Why
the clause in bonds that interest be paid in
gold } It means something looking to the
time when gold only will be this legal tender.
Ho then showed how Louisiana's repre
sentatives vote for n tariff on lumber in ex
change for ono on sugar. Tho-money power
says It cannot issue a greenback
without gold back of it to. redeem
it. The government issues bonds with
out gold back of it for redemption ,
and they sell at n premium. The idea of reducing -
ducing the surplus by buying bonds at a
premium befoi-o due was bitterly ridiculed ,
and ho stated that a Nebraska representative
had proposed to Issue $500,000,000 more new
bonds at 8 per cent for tho' benefit of the
bankers. This was encouraging infant in
dustries.
The remainder of a thrco hour speech was
spent In denouncing railroads , their lana
grants , government watered stock nnd dl-
vrdouds declared thereon. The farmers do
not got what they want , for they don't con
centrate. Kailroad commissioners nro ap
pointed and legislatures elected , but they
sell you out and you don't want thorn
to do it again. You have been preyed upon
long enough. lie then ridiculed the Idea of
sticking to the old party. They are ndvked to
go out ana talk , but to como homo and rodst.
What do you want an alliance for , then , if
only to pass resolutions I
The old parties can get along with the help
of the railroads. Wo cannot reach the national
govorment yet , but wo can take control of the
state. The republican party was founded to
abolish slavery. Wo liavo tried to get Justice
la tlio old parties nnd now wo
are surrrunded by conditions worse
than slavery , and the people can rlso in their
might and throttle corporation rulo.
Mr. Edgorton of South Omaha , a represent
ative of a labor union , then made a short ad
dress , and wtw followed by Thomas Potter of
Sarpy county. The climax of his speech was
reached when , turning to Van Wyck. ho said :
"What wo want Is , not only the policies , but
the otllces. " The quick assent given by Mr.
Van Wyck to this sentiment was suggestive.

ItcmlnlHucnt ol' Fremont.
FIIUMOXT , Neb. , July 15. [ Special to TUB
Bun. The dentil of General John C. Fremont
in Now York Sunday recalls the circum
stances of the christening of this city in
honor of the great "Pathfinder. " It was in
August , ISofl , that a party of four gentlemen
from the cast drove up the Platte valley from
Omaha and planted some stakes on the pres
ent towi8"e. . After It was staked out an or
ganization was perfected , which was called
the Plnney , Barnard it Co. Town Plat asso
ciation. This- occurred during the great
providential campaign of that year when Fro-
inont stood as tlio llrst prusldcatlal candidate
of the republican party. The owners of the
town site soon wanted u name for their
future city.
On September 23 they met at tlio log cabin
of Seth P. Marvin. The fact that Fremont's
name wis ; on everybody's lips ; that
ho had explored this section of
country and the further fact that
u little town called Buchanan , In honor
of his political opponent , had been staked
out at the mouth of Shell creek , near the
present site of Schuyler , all combined to
suggest the propriety of naming it Fremont ,
which was accordingly done at that meeting.
The original record of the proceedings Is now
hi tholiands of E. H. Barnard of this city.
who was ono of the members of the original
town site company.
ThU hiuutlful western cltv of 8,030 Inhnb-
ItiiuU stands today as a fitting monument to
the old hero who has passed away. There Is
n tradition that when Fremont pushed
through this then wilderness on his first trip
to the Rockies that ho blazed a trco between
the present town site nnd the Platte river.
The first settlers who still remain nro dls-
posed to question the truth of this. Thpy nro
of the ofilnlon that when ho went through
eastern Nebraska In this latitude ho passed
south of the Platte river.

For the purpose of taking preliminary step *
for the establishment of a Methodist hospital
la Omaha about one hundred and fifty mom-
, hers of the church , Including the leading min
isters of the city , gathered at the First M. K.
church last nlghU The project has been the
subject of consideration in Methodist circles
for some time and considerable enthusiasm
has been aroused. Dr. E. K , Young was In
troduced by Presiding Klder Olcndennlng In
a speech outlining tlio objects of the meet
ing.Dr.
Dr. Young U the pastor of a leading M. K.
church of Philadelphia and is on his summer
vacation , Ho opened hU ndilress by explain
ing that he was not in Omaha to talk , and
followed up his introduction with an
eloquent address Illustrating the beauty and
helpfulness of organized benevolences. Ho
explained that when tlio Christian put his
hand to any enterprise which relieved suffer
ing or sorrow ho was doing what God ordered
him to do.Vc who profess to follow Christ ,
ho said , are Uod's helpers in this world.
These hospitals and other church charities
are the means of calling out the bonevoleucos
of men. lie spoke of how the beneficences
of Carnegie , Giranl and other millionaires
who realized the needs of Immunity would
live In tlio hearts of Americans for genera
tions. In contrast ho spoke of the work of
those who had amassed millions nnd left it to
their children who should go on accumu
lating. In view of this ho did not wonder lit
the unrest of the labor world which saw
these masses of wealth Increasing itself to no
benefit to the world.
The speaker concluded an eloquent address
of half an hour's duration with a poetical
peroration , exhorting the people present to go
on In their great work , realizing that In car
rying It to a successful termination they were
doing the will of the Master.
Dr. Kynctt of Now York was then intro
duced and explained that the address of tlio
"TSvcnlng had been delivered. Ho had only
one or two thoughts to deliver. Wo need
never fear to follow where God leads the
way. The speaker teld of how a hospital
was secured for the M. K. church of Phila
delphia and held up the work of those
Methodists as an example for the people of
Omaha , I In spoke of the magnificent hospi
tal being erected by the Methodists In Brook
lyn , Philadelphia and oilier cities.
lie confessed that in view of the needs of
the Methodist Episcopal church in Omaha ho
was surprised at llrst at the attempt to es
tablish a hospital under the auspices of the
church , but after considering the matter and
asking himself whether God was with the
enterprise , ho was willing to acknowledge
that the church wus doing a good work. Ho
elaborated upon the bcncllts which would
accrue to the city as well as to the church ,
and closed by wishing the enterprise and
those present godsj > ood.
Dr. Merrill then took the platform and de
livered u short nnd pertinent address ,
explaining the needs of finances to keep
the enterprise on its feet as well as to pay for
the expense of the present meeting.
The constitution of the Methodist Episco
pal scheme of hospitals provides for thirty
trustees , nine of whom are allowed to bo lay
men or members of any or no church. Hev.
Mr. Dawion was selected secretary. A meet

from the combined ravages of llro and water ,

John O'Connell is the owner of the prop
erty and of tlm buildings on either side. About
fi : i0 ! yesterday afternoon Mr. O'Connell saw
Kim shoot through the door , and utter him
came a sheet of llro nnd smoke.
The Chinaman had evidently stayed as long
as ho could nnd had only given up possession
when the flames di-ovo him out. IIo had
given no alarm and no ono hnow that the
place was on llro until the whole interior was
ablaze. Mr. O'Connell hurried to No. en

partmcnUwas Moon lighting the flumes. The
llro had secured a good start and before Iho
Ill-omen arrived the ( lames had spread to the
two adjoining buildings , ono occupied bvAlr.
O'Connell as a saloon nnd the other bv
Charles Singer as a second-hand store.
It remilivd but a few minutes to get the
flro under control , but not until the roofs of
the three buildings were bai-noil. The laun
dry was gutted and the contents , including
about ono hundred packages of clothing be
longing to various parlies , wore n total loss
Singer's stock was damaged to the extent
of about Slot ) , on which there was no insur
ance. The llro was conduct ! to the upper
part of the building , which was ap
parently filled with feathers , The sinolto
from these was suffocating and made
work very unpleasant for the llremcii.
The feathers were finally dumped out of Iho
window , and the wind impartially scattered
them over the crowd that filled the street.
In the saloon were four pool tables that
were damaged to thooxtont ot : ? " > 0 each , but
this loss is covered by insurance , us is also
