Orr's department down at the Union Pacific headquarters. During the late- labor disturbance up along the Utah & Northern division of the Union Pacific Sells & Itenlfrow's circus was showing at Lima , Mont. They were there when the strike was ordered. They had dates at both Dillon and Uutte and were anxious to get there , but when they began to pull up stakes the local switchmen notified them that they could not move their stuff over the Union Pacific , as they had no engine. Will Sells , manager of the mcgathcrlon outfit , was In a horrible stew , hut suddenly a happy thought struck him , and that was to have his big elephant , Hanlbal Junior , serve as an engine. Accordingly the big mountain of Asiatic flesh and bone was brought forth and headforemost put behind the train of twenty-four , cars all heavily laden with the show's traps. Hanlbal was cnual to the occasion , and he shoved the whole shebang down from Divide , but ho couldn't get them over the big Incline. Sells , however , injected a dozen barrels or two of sarsaparllla under his belt , and the mammoth beast , turned round and kicked the whole outfit over the hill. Then he butted them along nt a merry clip down the 105 foot grade , and up the western range , shoving the entire train , performers , tents , horses , mcnagcrlo and all , Into liutte the next morning In time for the afternoon per formance.

They have agreed updrt a division of the freight and passenger business and the handling of the Joint traffic at Huntlngton , Ore. , the station where the two lines come together. The Union Pacific Is to handle the station , Insofar as the question of expenses of agents , operators and carpenters goes , which Is to bo Ikr divided on a wheeling basis , which Is prac tically on everything , the wheelago of both t * lines from this point being about equal. Freight Trunk ; AK in Nouiwl. CHICAGO , July 30. The amount of freight handled last week Is about what the roads were handling before the strike and shows that they have recovered tlielr own and are doing an much business as before they were crippled. The chief Item In the free trafilc of the western roads at present is live stock. If these shipments maintain their present average , It will bo only a short time before the price takes a tumble , as packers have at present about all they care to handle and there seems to be no signs of a let-up In the traffic. _ Mn t I.envn Compniiy Hoimea or Work.

GETTING THEIR EYES OPEN Erokors Jnst Beginning to Renltzo the Extent of the Damngo to Oropa , CORN JUMPED UP THREE CENTS A BUSHEL It envy Shipment * of Cuttle Hint llo * from llio Ori'i > t Corn Hull t'oinlnco 1110111 Thcro I * Not Corn to 1'ecil Tininltli. . CHICAGO , July 30. There was plenty of excitement In the corn pit today. Reports of ruined crops came In thick and fast and the price Jumped rapidly. There was an advance of nearly 3 cents , and the market closed at the top flgurca of the day. The excitement started with the posting of a statement showing the receipts of live stock In Chicago to be 07,000 head , the largest one day receipts over known. It brought traders to the realization of the drouth In the corn belt and Its consequences , such as they had not previously conceived. The magnitude of the receipts showed thnt western stock growers had become alarmed over the long drouth , and fearing that they would bo unable to secure feed at paying prices , had resolved to sell out at once , While the brokers have taken cognizance of the drouth they had not heretofore had It so strongly Impressed upon their minds. ' The showing that CO,000'hogs , 20,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep had been shipped to Chicago cage In twenty-four hours canio with almost the suddenness and force of a knock out blow. During all last week corn was on the Jump. The signal service reports of showers In various localities caused prices to drop 3 rents , but It was reasoned that the rain had benefited only n limited ter ritory , and prices advanced. Saturday night prices closed pretty well advanced with the expectation of the market being Influenced by the weather on Monday. When the traders came down to business today they consulted the weather map and press dis patches and saw that In sections of Il linois , Missouri and Kansas showers had fallen , but these had not been sufficient to break the drouth In the big1 corn belt which extends from Ohio to the Rocky mountains. Then came the announcement regarding live stock receipts , and It began to bo realized that 75 per cent of the best portion of the corn belt was still affected by the drouth. The "surplus corn" states , Iowa , Illinois , Missouri , Kansas and Indiana , which last year raised 1,000,000,000 bushels out of 1,000- 000,000 , constituting the entire crop in the United States , and shipped much of it be cause they were unable to use it , had not been materially affected It was declared , and the brokers were set to thinking. It did not take them long to figure out with considerable unanimity that the western packers , who became heavy buyers of corn during the closing days of last week , knew more about the exact situation than they did themselves , and that the indications of the serious effect of the drouth had been seen In the west before they were seen here , All these things influenced the market and the alarm became general. One thing that averted a panic was the pulling against each other of wheat and corn. Every con dition was favorable to forcing wheat down and corn up. The excitement continued unabated till the close , with the outlook for a field day tomorrow. Clan Gordon. MADE SOME CHANGES. lloiiril of I'ulillo Works 1'orcon Ilcorgnnlrol Under the Nmv Drill. The reorganization of the street and sewer departments of the Board of Public Works won' partially completed yesterday and the remaining ; vacancies will be filled at a special meeting of the board this , after noon. The way was cleared for this action by a resolution Instructing the secretary to notify all Inspectors In the street , and sewer departments that their services "would not Tje required after July 31. This was adopted , and then Sewer Commissioner Balcombe re ported the following list of appointments , which were confirmed : Permit Inspectors , Michael Lee and S. Y. Sanson. Sewer Inspector specter , R. H. Walker. Mr. Walker is not permanently employed , but draws $4 per day for all actual service. This action dispenses with the services of John Yrack , who was a permit Inspector un der Major Furay's administration. No criti cism is passed on Mr. Truck's qualifications for the position , but his ambition to fill the place now occupied by Street Commissioner Kaspar Is the cause of his 4ecaPItRtlon. A " vigorous fight has" been made on him by some of Kaspar's friends , and his name was dropped from the list of Inspectors on that account. His successor , Sanson , was formerly foreman of the street gang when ' Chairman Wlnspear was Etre'et commis sioner. , , Mike Lee retains his old position , and George J. Hodder and W. 'F. B. Wllcox , formerly sewer Inspectors , are dropped. There Is so little being done now In the way of sewer construction that It was not thought advisable to keep moro than one regular sewer Inspector on the payroll , and the de partment will economize by getting along with one man In that position. Mr. Kaspar was not ready to make his appointments yesterday , and the employes In his department will be on the anxious scat for another twenty-four hours. Notice to Delegates. The delegates from the Elkhorn valley to the republican Sixth district congressional convention are notified that the Burlington & Missouri River railroad will hold n train at Crawford to connect with the Elkhorn train Thursday , August 2 , getting to Broken Bow In time for the convention.

Vocal and Instru mental music , the former rendered by the Llcdertnfol and the Saengcrbund , .served . to while away thu hours. Besides there were the usual number of games which de light the small boy , his sister and the ladles. All these things had been arranged by a commute consisting of Mesdames Gel- ler , Hcrlnz , llulm , Schneider , Stcffe , Miller , Bagscl , Speller and Schgltz. A general su pervision over games and refreshment coun ters had been delegated to Christ Bagscl , whose untiring efforts made the picnic a suc cess. J. Brandcls of the Boston store had made the society a present In the shape of a costly pockctbook , which was to be presented on this occasion to the most deserving and most popular member. Mrs. Hcrlng filled these qualifications and accordingly she was presented with the gift by Christ Bayscl. The afternoon and evening were spent In pleasant social Intercourse by more aged people while the younger generation partici pated In games and dancing. Thu races con sisted of n ladies' egg race and a fat man's race. An oscillating biscuit-eating contest furnished never ending fun. The little girls played at blind man's buff and the boys had foot races. In this latter' William Orcn won first and Henry Jettcr second prize. Tlllle Schneider was awarded u couple of vases and Rosa Speller a bottle of perfume as first and second prlr.es In the blind man's buff game.

Bavaria , the goddess of that South Ger man kingdom , attracted a fair sized crowd of her protegees , as well as their friends , to Ruscr's park Sunday. The traditional Hen pictured by her side , gazed dreamily upon a multitude of merry people. Merry , because It was the local Bavarian society's annual picnic and outing , to which all the members are accustomed to look forward with pleas ure. Organized In 1888 , the society has prospered in finances and numbers. It Is now under the able presldo cf Jacob Houck , who Is seconded In his efforts to extend the Vereln by Jacob Vollmer , secretary. The Bavarians are a brave and generous people , and withal know how to enjoy themselves. The latter was conclusively proven yesterday when the park was pcfipled with a lot of gay men , women and children. They did not relinquish the.r hold upon the continu ous rounds of pleasure until a very late hour. In this they were Joined by a con siderable number of friends from other Ger man stotes. As customary on such occa sions , the younger element of both sexes Indulged In games and dancing In the well appointed pavilion , while the older people sought the more secluded spots under shady trees and around -the tables , where , over a glass cf the foaming , reminis cences we.'e exchanged. An egg race furnished excltemfint for the ladles ; the sack race attracted the boys and a foot race the younger men * Bowling alley contest furnished sport for others. The program for this sort of entertainment had been ar ranged by George Hoffman , Anton Wagner , Fritz Plnzensham , Michael Mucnch and Jack Vollmer. An unusual attraction was fur- nlslie'd by Fritz Nebor , a second Sandow , In an exhibition at physical strength. Mr. Neber , before emigrating to this country , was president of the athletic club In Frank- fort-on-the-Maln. "While sitting In a chair with his legs Btretched out in a horizontal position he bore -an them the combined weight of two men and a heavy Iron bar , all weighing In thBinelghborhoood of 400 pounds. A 100-pound weight was raised by him in one hand and thrpwn to the other. Twelve- pound bars placctd between two fingers iat the ends were kept In a horizontal position for a few minutes. He also bore 700 pounds of weight upon his back and ex hibited many other tests of his strength. As usual on such occasions Mrs. Ruser fur nished a delicious repast In the evening , Mr. Ruser was to be found everywhere la boring for a proper entertainment of his guests.

Every one knows of splendid homes tlm lack nothing but children. The rooms with nil their elegance , tool vacant without the clutter of baby toys , nni the. smooth , sunny lawns seem wasted with out n troop of children ploying on them. Hut when bnbUs do como Into these homes all that thought and love and \\ciltli can do combine to keep them healthy , happy am charming. And yet these little ones , like the count less children In homes where there Is "little WAUD. Morun . to earn and many to keep , " are all human babies , and the things that are really tlielr health and happiness arc very simple during the first few years of their lives. In fact , when parents have inado sure thnt baby's food Is sufficiently nourishing and healthy , that there Is plenty of pure air and absolute cleanliness , they can rsally do noth ing else. In homes where trained nurses are employed lactatcd food Is always kept on hand. And at the first sign of bowel trouble baby Is put on an exclusive diet of lactatcd food until the Intestinal disturbance Is over. Physicians know of nothing else equal to lactatcd food to take the place of mother's milk It Is made for the express purpose of forming as perfect a substitute for healthy mother's milk as analysis will sjiow. It Is pleasant to the taste , and has the unusual virtue of Inducing delicate babies to take nourishment when other food disagrees with their weak stomachs. Lactated food has sav ed thousands of babies from falling victims to cholera Infantum by keeping up their strength , without Increasing , as most food does at such times , the Irritation In the n- tcstlncs that is acountable for most of the fatalities among children In July and Aug ust. ust.This valuable baby food is everywhere used In the homes where the most modern and valuable appliances for securing health and comfort are met with , and yet the best of baby foods Is easily within the reach of the most modest homes. One hundred and fifty meals can be made from a $1.00 package , or sufficient to last about four weeks , making the food prepared for baby cost less than EC a quart.
