1TTLE doubt ex
ists lhat with good
weather this nftcr
noon Omaha will bo
trealed lo ono of
Iho grcalcst racing
' cards that has ever
been her good for
tune to witness.
The same events
were to have con-
stllutcd yesterday
afternoon's program -
gram , but wore
postponed until this nflornoon on account of
the threatening condition of the woather.
It Is to bo ardently hoped thnt everything
will bo auspicious , in which case some rnro
sport indeed will bo forthcoming , as the
Breeders association is determined to give
the public something that will preclude the
possibility of dissatisfaction or complaint.
In the first place Belle Acton , who
was the champion yearling of 1892 ,
will make her first publlo appearance as
n 2-yoar-old nnd will no doubt acquire the
championship honor for 2-year-olds ever a
half mlle track. If aho ( iocs Mr. Gould will
bo $1,000 richer , n the management will
hang up this ipurso. She is big , slrong and
very fast , nnd the people of Omaha nnd the
surrounding counlry will bo given the bene
fit of the queen's debut Uwn | the turf for Ib'JS.
Not only this , but thu 4-year-old champion ,
Ontonlan , fresh from his victory over the
cracks of the east , will give an exhlbllion of
his matchless speed and race horse qualities.
Last week , at Buffalo. Ontonlan won his
race in'straight heats , boating the best In
his class In hollow style. This afternoon ho
will have for competitors the great Webraskn
bred horse , Smith , 2:15 ! : the Omaha horse
Prince T , who paced a mile in S:1U ; Cobron ,
2:10 : , and other fast ones , who may force
the 4-yoar-old king to take n new record.
Omaha's great :5-year-old : , The Conqueror.
2:17 : , which record , made In a hot race two
weeks ago , vrns the fastest ever made by a
11-year-old so early In the season , and was
the fastest at that time for a 3-year-old for
181O , will start In the 2:24 : trot. The Con
queror U owned by W. A , Paxton , jr. , and Is
ono of the must magnlllcont and most valu
able , if not without equal , among the horses
of the west.
These rare slars of the turf , while
worth n trip of thousands of miles
to sec , are not the only attractions , for there
will bo four regular events , each of which
promise to bo fighting races fro'ii wire to
wire. The best of music will bo 0.1 hand In
the presence of the Military band , and as
tlio card is the very best over presented to
Omaha and the admission but f > 0 cents , a
vast crowd should bo in attendance lo par
ticipate In the high-class sport. The llrst
event will bo called promptly at 2:30 :
o'clock.
The officer ? ) of the Sta'o Breeders associa
tion tiavo worked hard and conscientiously
In the interests of this meeting , and it is ob
ligatory upon the citizens of Omaha to see
that they have n rousing attestation to the
city's appreciation of their efforts for ono
day at least. There would have been a large
attendance yesterday without a doubt , as
the superlative attractiveness of the pro
gram was about the ono theme of conversa
tion , and it is quite probable that Iho neces
sary postponement has In nowise diminished
the general enthusiasm nnd Interest. Lot
everybody who can improve the opportunitj
of witnessing a series of speed trials novoi
1 equalled here before. The Breeders nsso
elation is"1 ilcse'rving of .Urn fullest recognl
tton , and business men should combine in nr
endeavor to give it to them today nnd to
morrow.

At- the present stage of the game there Is
every prospect of a largo nnd roprcsenlnllvo
entry for Iho state lawn tennis tournament
which opens In Omaha nuxl Tuesday. Mr.
C. H. Young returned from Hasllngs yc.itcr-
day morning a day oarllor than
ho bad Intended. Ills first match
down there was against Cullltigham nnd
Hart , who wcro looked upon ns Iho
most dangerous pair In the event. And the
hurricane which was blowing down thocourt
carried so many balls out and so much dust
into the eyes of Mr. Young nnd his partner.
l arry Denise , that they came out of the en
counter wroijg end up. This was unfortu
nate , for the pair had gone down with every
intention and plenty of prospect of achieving
some measure of success.
But in the other business thnt took him to
HnstinL's Mr. Young did perhaps better than
ho expected to. There wcro very few men
down at Hastings who did not give him a
more or less definite promise lo play In
Omaha not week. Hastings herself prom
ises at least four pairs , probably more , and
Beatrice , Ord and Lincoln will each bo rep
resented. There nro at least two pairs In
Mlndun who ought to bu here , hut they both
seem doubtful whether they \\lll bo able to
como. Arapaboo was oxpcctad to send
ono or two pairs to Hastings ,
but didn't , and it scorns quite likely
that city will treat Omaha In the
same way. This will bo a pity , for the play
is for the championship of the stale nnd Iho
ubscnco of representatives from Aripahoo
and Mlndcn , two cities which might send
good pairs down , will detract from the rep-
resonlnllvo character of the mooting.
Omaha scorns likely to do herself full Jus
tice. Mr. Voting expects at least n dozen
entries from the metropolis for the doubles
and already hat promises for half that num
ber. Culhnghnin and Batllu will play to
gether again , and Denise and Young
seem not to have been disheartened
by their nonsucccss at Hastings for
they still hold lo their intention of wresting
the championship from the present holders.
Hart and Cookson will make another strong
combination , and Caldwell and Haverstick ,
Johnson and Murray , and Will McCaguo
and bis brother have nlso promised their
entrance fees. " "
Among the other pairs that aro.looked
upon as certain are : Lincoln Goisthardt
and Shepherd ; Hastings Mattox and
Guilmctto , Johnson and Henry , H. S.
Dungan and Walqlilsl , and Harligan and
Powers ; Beatrice Scuddor and Thompson ;
nnd Ord Milford nnd Laverty. Milford
nnd Lavorty are said to make a very strong
combination. Milford is a llttlo doubtful
whether ho can get hero , hut in any case
Laverty will bo berg for the singles and
some partner or other will bo found for
him In the doubles also.
Valuable first and second pr zes will bo
given in both singles and doubles. In addi
tion to which the winners will hold Iho titles
of state champions. The present champions
nro C. S. Cullingham in singles and Cul-
lingham and J. W. Battin in doubles. The
entry foe is only fiO cents for each player in
each event , a nrlco which should debar no
ono who can handle a racket. The tourna
ment Is open to all residents of Nehraslta.
All entries must bo in by tomorrow after
noon. The address of the secretary is Mr.
C. H. Young , 20j ; Now York Life building.
Mr. Ernest Hart , ono of the members ol
the tournament committee , has charge ol
the general arrangomenls and wilt spare nc
pains to make all visitors comfortaolo. He
intends to orcct an awning along the wire :
on Ilarnoy stront so that anyone who wishe ;
to see the play will have to pay the admts
sion fee. Now nets and of course now ball :
wilt also bo provided. For the privilege o
doing this ho will pay the club'$2T and bi
allowed to pocket the "gate" receipts. Thi
cost of the prizes will bo defrayed by tin
club , but It is hoped that some of them a
any rnto will bo presented by the wealth ;
Jewelers of the town or others who have th
Interest of a noble sport at heart.

Mystery scorns to bo rapidly surrounding
the sudden anil somewhat suspicious death
of William Rogers , : v telegraph operator In
the employ of thu Associated jiross , who was
found dead In bed at 1413' Dodge street
yesterday afternoon.
Investigation shows that Rogers had been
drinking for three or four 'days , and last
night ho went back to tha , Houston liquor
euro establishment aud'Svotit to bed , . Noth
ing was thought of this by the managers of
the Institute , as Hogoi-3 was well known
there.
About 4 n. m. yesterday "Dr. " Wnrd called
at the institute and took Hogcrs to bis room
at Dr. Lavender's fiouso at 1418 Dodge
street. Both men Avero very drunk , so
say the inmates of this house , and were ac
companied by n man named Shea , a corporal
In the Second Infantry. All three went to
bed In the same room. ' About 0:30 : o'clock
yesterday morning ono of the servants urn-
ployed In the house rapped at the door and
asked permission to uomo iu and make the
bod. *
Ward \Yiis Dogmatic.
"Dr. " Ward positively declined to allow
any ono to cuter , saying that ho had a
friend In there WHO was drunk. Later on
thu corporal of Infantry loft thu house and
another call was undo at the door. Again the
same answer waa.glven. Wlicm Dr. Lavoh-
der came homo ho went up to Investigate ,
thinking that perhaps tills friend of his
tenant was ill. He insisted upon entering
and found Dr. Ward sitting on the bed be-
sldo the dead body , busily engaged in
munching a Dig hunk of bologna. The phy
sician saw at a glance that Rogers was dead
and after directing some of his household to
keep a watch on Ward ho notified the police.
When the patrol wagon arrived Ward was
placed under arroit by Officer Mitchell and
was sent to the jail. The coroner removed
the body to the morgue and will make u
thorough investigation of the case , as will
also the police department.
Ward , or H. S. Pevson , as most of his
mull found in the room was directed , claims
to be a regular graduate of medicine , and
was formerly connected with a dipsomania
euro establishment. From Instruments
found on the drosslncr case it was supposed
that Ward had given -llogers doses of mor
phine.
Coroner Maul will hold a postmortem in
order to determine the exact cause. In the
meantime Ward will be hold a prisoner.
Honors' Lu t Drink.
At about 7:30 : o'clock7 yesterday morning
llogcrs , in company avlth a small man who
is supposed to hay.oubeen the ono now
under arrest , entotjcd a saloon and
drank a whisky sourJ , At that time , the
bartender says , llogiirs looked and acted as
though he felt as we'll ' a's usual , and engaged
in cheerful eonvorsa'lldn while the drinks
were being mixed. * >
Several days ago are acquaintance of Rogers
met him on the grnutid lloor of the BKU
building and stepped to chat with him. At
that time ho seemed to bo only slightly under
the inllucnco of linuol ; and inclined to bo
sorry that he had started on a second spree.
"I'm a chump , oldSliiVJi. " ho remarked. "I
got myself sobered rfp and feeling all right ,
and then had to go and iot another Jag on.
Here's what started It ; " ho added , and dis
played a telegram fr > > rn Atianta stating that
a draft for . SOOO lindbeen sent ; him. "I
couldn't stand too imichprosperiti' "
' , ( , you see ,
continued.Rogers. . . . , , , , , , , . , , . , . .
Two 'or three days 'later Rogers again mot
the sam'e per&ih aE about the11samo place
and remarked f chtorfully'-"vVoli'PgoV ! ; my
drafts all. right ; , but they won't
lot mo get 'em cashed lor fear
I'll ' blow myself " and ho gave
the other man a passing glimpse at a
draft that purported to bo for ffiOO and two
express money orders for $10 oaclu
When Coroner Maul looked over the papers
found on the dead man's body neither draft
nor money orders were found.
By the tlmo the police arrived at Dr.
Lavender's , a young woman , giving
her name as Alma Graventlne , u
sweetheart of the dead man- was
Micro anil was crying bitterly. She said that
she understood Rogers had been drinking
and was going back to the gold euro place.
She went there yesterday morning to take
him his breakfast and found that ho had
been taken away by some friend. Upon In-
she found that her lover had loft with
Ward and finally traced the pair tp the room
where she.found the dead body.
It Is said that no badfcoling existed be
tween this woman and Hogors , and that he
certainly would not have committed suicldo
ever any love affair. There had been no re
cent quarrel between them ,
An inquest will bo held at 11 o'clock this
morning at Coroner Maul's. Services will
also bo hold attto'ulockithis afternoon at the
morgue. Ills friends in Omaha are Invited
to attend without further notice. The body
will bo scut to Buford , Ga , , for burial.
