LONDON , Sept. 17. The drouth continues
throughout too greater part of Gnat
Britain. A temporary fall In the- barometer
early In the week raised hopes which were
doomed to disappointment. The tonipenuuro
has again risen and London continues bullied
In sunshine. The outcry In the cast end
of London , whcro the supply of water has
been reduced to dangerous limits , Is taking
the form of Influential public meetings which
vllently denounced the Kant End Water
companies for neglecting to take proper
measures to nsBiiro a supply of water and
calling for municipal control of the water
works. lu the mcanwhllo the sanitary con
ditions are eo bad In Eomo districts that
there Is serious fear of epidemic.
The north of London Is also suffering
undeserved martyrdom In the nhnpo of a
trcct car famine duo to a strlko of the
hostlers and the consequent dismissal of a
couple of acltators. The many thousands
of business people who rely on cheap con
veyance to the city have been seriously In
convenienced by the sudden stoppage of
traffic which occurred on Wednesday last.
Public sympathy Inclines to the side of the
company , which has taken the bull by the
horns and has dismissed all the strikers ,
engaging outsiders to take their places.
The whole of Great Hrltaln has been
startled by an epidemic of railroad out
rages. On the Northwestern and Midland
railroads In the neighborhood of Northamp
ton there have been several most deter
mined efforts to wreck passenger trains.
Formidable obstructions wcro constructed
across the track and 0110 express train had
a. most narrow escape from disaster. It
plowed through a veritable barricade but
did not leave the rails. The most alarmIng -
Ing feature of the outrages is the fact that
the police have not been able to obtain the
slightest clew to the perpetrators , though a
hundred detectives have been scouring the
district. Consequently n panic prevails.
Ono theory Is that the crimes are the work
of a band of train wreckers looking for
plunder and emulating the far west holdups.
1'rliicc Able to IVnlk.
After passing eight weeks in nn Invalid's
chair the prlnco of Wales this week for
the first time was able to walk a few paces
with the old of a stick. Ho traveled to
Ilalmoral , from his yacht to Portsmouth.
I'rlvato letters declare the prince lately has
been very Irritable at the enforced restraint
that ho has even declared that a jm WMcnt
limp would bo a cheap penalty to pay for
release from his floating prison. It Is added
that the attending physicians finally yielded
nnd allowed the prince to Journey to Scot
land In order to appease their patient and
also to arrest the strong stimulus which
rest nnd sea air appetite have given to his
Increasing stoutness. The heir apparent will
Btlll require to wear for many weeks to
como the apparatus which has been fitted
to his knee.
The duke of Connaught has been the hereof
of French maneuvers uround Hemline , which
ho attended as President Faurc's chief guest.
Ho first distinguished himself by a splendid
display cf horsemanship by the French
staff , when a borrowed horse , startled by
the firing , tried to bolt , reared nnd fell.
The duke got out unhurt. On the following
day ho minutely examined a French sol
dier's knapsack. He had one of them
emptied on the ground , weighed the articles
and finally took the knapsack , strapped It
on his own shoulders and walked up and
down In front of the president and the gen
erals In order to test whether the straps
hampered his movements , The spectators
wcro greatly amused and the private sol
diers loudly cheered him. Yesterday the
duke of Connaught visited the French camp
kitchens and following the great Napoleon's
precedent ho asked to bo allowed to taste
the soldiers' food , remarking : "I inusl ) only
take a tiny morsel as I nm robbing some
body's share. " Then ho forked out and ate
a piece of beef , which ho pronounced to beef
of excellent quality. The duke also exam
ined the men's overcoats , testing their
weight nnd texture. These Incidents have
made fho duke of Connaught very popular
with the French soldiers and villagers. At
the hamlet of Unuemond they had a great
treat In seeing the thirsty president of the
republic and Queen Victoria's eon stop be
fore a II trio public house nnd call for nnd
toss off glasses of light beer , while the
hurriedly assembled band played "God Save
the Queen. " President Fauro has deco
rated the duke with the grand cross of the
Legion of Honor.
Score I'rlncc lllxmarck.
The leading newspapers hero scathingly re
view Hcrr Morltz Husch's "Llfo of Prince
nismarck , " which was recently published.
The general opinion Is that both the author
and his idol suffered greatly by the revela
tions made. The Drltlsli , naturally , ehlclly
resent the Into prince's expressions of hos
tility to Great Drltaln and to the queen anil
her daughter , the former Empress Frederick
of Germany , with which the book teems.
The Dally Telegraph says that If the booli

and Dr. S. I. VnnKourockl of Berlin claim
o have made an Invention which will rev

pondcnt saw In London tonight their agent ,
Ur. rhlllp Castle , who said : "For the last
hreo years Rosenthal and VanKourockl
linvo been working together In Berlin en
deavoring to discover a means for making
a non-poisonous match which would light

nttcnded with complete success. They have
made a match which will readily Ignlto on
any rough surface , and which gives off
no poisonous fumes.
"Tho discovery was largely accidental af-
cr they had begun to despair of attaln-
ng their object. Their match .has been
submitted to Messrs. Johnson , Math & Co. ,
ilutton Garden , London , who admit nil
hat Is claimed for It , certifying that it
contains no trace of yellow phosphorus.
Wo have already taken out patents here and
n cloven other countries , nnd are now walt-
ug for match manufacturers to como along
and make proposals for working our pat
ents. Our match can bo manufactured as
cheaply as the poisonous matches at pres-
nt In use and with the sumo machinery

'Tho Belgian government offered a prize
some tlmo since for such n match as ours ,
and we are applying for that prize. Our

with them , went down Into the Tlclnlty of
the grounds where the commissary depart
ment Is located. There was nothing to In-
dlcato that there was a war to be declared ,
llulil Mimic lii a Hail Fix.
Suddenly an Indian almost naked bounded
out of one of the tents of the enemy and
dodging from tree to tree , hurried over to
the place whcro his people were stopping.
Ho reported that bis brother , Bald Eagle ,
had been captured while out on a hunt and
that ho was soon to bo burned nt the stake.
This Indian was none too soon , for ho had
not much more than told the story to Yel
low Hawk , who was In command of tbo
Sioux , when a couple of Indians singing and
whooping appeared In the vicinity of ono of
the electric light poles , leading Bald Eagle ,
who was at once bound hand nnd foot and
tied tp the aforesaid pole. Ho squirmed
and said that ho only did It In fun and
would never do so again. This , tale , how
ever , did not go nnd he was Informed In
the best Sioux that old Came-So-Kar , a
Wichita , could muster that doing It once
was enough.
Bald Eagle made some remark about It
being a dirty Indian trick to tie n man up
nnd roast him over a slow fire , but this re
mark only caused a few smiles to pass over
the lips of the fellows who were gathering
up enough straw to kindle the wood that
vas piled about the poor unfortunate. At
his point the match was applied and the
moko ascended as high as the trees , while
rom within the cloud came the voice of the
man who pleaded. He did not plead for
mercy , simply saying : "If you are going
o do any burning , do so , and not convert
no Into smoked meat. " The clouds of
moko rolled higher and higher nnd some
ndlan brought out n drum and half n dozen
f the naked fellows about the fire pounded
ipon it , while the others formed a circle
bout polo and man nnd danced and sang.
\n Indian who said he knew , said that It
vas a war song , but that don't moke any
"Iffcrence. -
The lire grew pretty hot around Bald
Jagle by this tlmo and ho commenced to
hlnk that ho had been forgotten by his
Sioux associates and the fellows who had
cast their lot with them. This , however ,
vas not the case , for like the hero In the
dime novel , he was to bo burned and that
nt Just the right time.
About the time thnt the flro commenced
0 singe the ends of the ropes that bound
Bald Eagle nud while his captors were
dancing the hardest , down came Red Dog ,
'ollowed by some 200 Sioux and other In
dians whooping llko demons. When less
ban 100 feet away they fired Into the
howling mob that surrounded Bald Eagle
nnd you never saw such n scrambling for
ho woods. The Blnckfeet and their follow
ers simply tumbled over cue another to get
out of the way nnd It was right hero that
: ho Sioux got In their work. They nlmcd
ow nnd every shot brought down an In
dian. Red Dog showed his good general
ship by apparently being on every place
of the field at the same time. Ho rode
jack and forth , waving his war bonnet
ilgh above bis head and cheering his men
on to victory. Ho would have won the
Ight in a canter had it not been for the
'act that a lot of Blackfeet and other
Indians who had been out to a wedding
returned about this time. When they
got into camp the squaws Informed them
: hat a big fight was going on over on the
open ground nnd without waiting for their
coffee they rushed out and wcro soon en
gaged In the contest. Reinforced with
fresh men the odds were against the Sioux ,
and after an engagement lasting the better
nnrt of an hour they commenced to retreat
in good order , leaving behind many of their
supposed dead and wounded. However ,
they had Inflicted heavy loss upon the
enemy nnd had compelled a great number
to blto the dust.
KuilN lii a Draw.
It was right hero that the battle stopped ,
and consequently It will go down In his
tory as one of these fights where neither
side licked. A running fire had been kept
up too long nnd Just as the Blackfeet got
the Sioux nicely on the run they discovered
that they were out of cartridges. They
stopped for an Instant and the Sioux taking
advantngo of the stop turned and started
to renew the fight when they , too , discov
ered that they were short of ammunition.
Both sides being In the same condition
the battle was over , but it was the general
opinion that the Sioux had ono or two
points In their favor.

Saturday tvttli tin- Fruit Moil.
Saturday is something of an off day wltt
the exhibitors In the Horticultural bulldlm
and few of them receive any fresh exhibits
duo to the fact that they prefer to havi
their fruit look neat and clean on Monda ;
morning.
Yesterday Superintendent Drlscoll of thi
Idaho exhibit received a large conslgnmcu
of grapes , cantaloupe , prunes and era !
apples. His exhibit now contains sample ;
of all of the varieties of fruit grown In tin
state and on the market at this tlmo of thi
year. The quality Is fine and the exhlbl
always draws a crowd.
Superintendent Hatch is proud fo the fac
that he is showing 100 varieties of apples
all raised In Wisconsin. This year ho say :
the state has a ble apple crop and tb
quality Is of the best. In addition to tli
apples ho Is showing plums and grapes , together
gother with peaches that were raised 20

Fruit for tin * I.lttlu Folk * .
Nebraska has endeared Itself to the thou
sands of children who visited the exposition
yesterday. All day long they shouted the
iralses of the state and when they left
' .ho grounds last night they were even more
mthustastlc than In the morning. The little
ones had been having their Inning and In
a measure they had been the guests of the
state , ns they had each been presented with
peaches nnd great sacks of Nebraska grown
; rapes.
When Nebraska had Its grape day Super
intendent Youngcrs conceived the Idea of
; lvlng the children a treat and as yesterday
was designated as Children's day by the
position authorities ho decided to do the
: rcatlng yesterday. Ho sent out among the
fruit growers nnd had them send In large
quantities of grapes and peaches. They
; amo early yesterday morning and when
: ho doors of the Agricultural building
swung open the fruit was ready to give
jut. It was stacked on long tables on the
Nebraska space and ns the little tots passed
along they were liberally supplied. There
was some lepeatlng during the day , but
this was frowned down upon and It was
seldom tried a second time.
The fruit that was given away was some
of the finest seen In the building. Special
care had been exercised In selecting the
fruit and then before It was given out it
was picked over , eo that nothing except the
soundest and what was rlpo was given to
the children.
The two special days left the Nebraska
fruit exhibit in ragged condition , but today
It will be rearranged nnd Monday morning
when the Horticultural building opens the
Nebraska exhibit will look ns well as at
any tlmo since the opening of the exposi
tion.
Wild ( iraprN from TPXIIM.
A section of a wild Mustang grapevine ,
measuring thirty-seven Inches In circumfer
ence , has been received from south' Texas
and added to the Texas exhibit In the Agri
cultural building. It was forwarded by C. I.
Snow of Nonnanna , Hee county , who sends
a description of this particular grapevine , as
well ns sending clusters of the wild grapes ,
together with samples of the wine. Mr.
Snow says that the vine grew In a clump of
live oaks nnd that its branches extended In
all directions , climbing from tree to tree and
forming nn arbor , covering nearly two acres
of ground. In his letter ho adds : "I stood
on 'tho ground nnd picked a barrel full of
grapes nnd I suppose 'thero ' were several
wagons Btlll remaining on the vine. "
0. M. Peterson , ono of the commissioners
from Texas and the founder of the Normanna
settlement , speaking of Mustang grapes ,
said : "Tho green grapes make excellent
preserves nnd ore picked In May and June.
In July and August the grapes ripen on the
vines and when treated mnko a superior
quality of Jelly and wine. Tons of them jo
to waste annually or nro eaten by mocking
birds , raccoons , possums nnd foxes. The
grapes being indigenous to the soil , wo have
ascertained from recent experiments that by
grafting the line varieties of cultivated
grapes onto the Mustang very successful and
Important results may bo obtained. "
In itho Texas exhibit there are muscat and
Tokay grapes from vines that were grafted
onto the Mustang and It Is said that they
ripen from two to three weeks earlier than
In California.
Next week Mr. Peterson returns to Texas ,
taking with him a party of excursionists. Ho
expects to como to Omaha In October at the
head of a largo delegation , the members of
which will visit the exposition and partici
pate in the Pcaco Jublleo and Hand Shaking
carnival.
Til nil UK : UiiKlu'H Hard
Like a phantom , hard luck follows TurnIng -
Ing Eagle , a rosebud Sioux warrior. Yes
terday ho was the victim of two accidents ,
neither of which was serious , yet both
were painful.
Turning Eagle was In the battle on the
Little Dig Horn where General Custpr was
killed and ono of the Indians who fought
with Sitting Dull. Some years ago he ac
cepted the ways of the white man , pulled
off his blanket nnd donned a suit of store
clothes. Since that tlmo he has been a
pretty good Indian , but Just now ho Is
having hard luck , Just the same. Yes
terday morning when the Indians were
rehearsing for the fight of the afternoon ,
Turning Eagle got too close to another
Indian who had a gun In his hand and as
a result ho received the full force of the
explosion of the charge of powder. The
shot took effect In the pit of the stomach ,
burning off a patch of skin about the size
of a saucer. Later In the day and dur
ing the battle between the Indians Turning
Eagle had more bad luck. Ho was riding
down on nn Arapaboe and was apparently
about ready to club the man to death with
his gun. Not desiring to take any chances ,
the Arapahoe leveled his gun at Turning
Eagle and tired. The muzzle of the gun
was not more than three feet from the
man's head nnd the burning powder from
the cartridge Inflicted n severe found , tilling
his face with powder and tearing off a
big patch of skin from one of bis cheeks.
Ohio Day IN Comlntc.
Ohio day , October B , promises to draw a

$30 has been made from Toledo. This In
cludes the railroad fare , sleeper , meals en-
route and while In Omaha and admissions

tickets for this excursion have been sold In
Toledo alone. The excursion Is In charge of
Charles II. Gates of Toledo , who hopes to
bring In from 1,000 to 1,500 people.
Commissioner Greene has received a wire
from the governor , who says 'that ho and his
staff will come. It Is probable that they will

There were nearly 9,000 less people on the
grounds la&'t week than during the preceding
week , but when the conditions are consid
ered 'tho ' fact gives 110 reason for dlscourag-
mont. The protracted rain was n heavy
handicap during the preceding week nnd
with the return of normal conditions there
Is every reason to expect another decided
boom during the coming week. This was
the attendance last week as compared with
that of the two preceding weeks :

Wyoming Will Not CVIrlirnte.
There will be no formal celebration ol
Wyoming day Monday , although the reduced
railroad rates that were secured for the oc
casion will remain In force nnd there will
bo inoro or Irss patronage from that state.
Governor Richards writes General Manager
Clarkson that It will bo Impossible for htm
to attend the exposition at this tlmo and
consequently advises that the exercises of
day bo declared off. The governor re
marks that ho Is very sorry that his state
has not exhibited a more creditable enthusi
asm In the exposition. The legislature re
fused to make any appropriation and the
scheme to enlist the co-operation of the
counties was also a failure. The mineral
exhibit that was finally sent here was made
up largely nt his personal expense and con
sequently he does not feel like celebrating.
Governor Richards adds , however , that a
largo number of Wyoming people will visit
the exposition during the week.
YouiiKHterM anil the Fruit.
Ono of the funny incidents of Children's
day was incidental to the distribution of free
fruit 'to the Ilttlo ones by some of the ex
hibitors at the Horticulture building. In ad
dition to all the graphs they could hold sev
eral hundred big watermelons were distrib
uted. In some cases the melons wcro bigger
than the recipients and It was amusing to
see a long procession of Ilttlo tots , each ol
which lugged a melon that she could scarcely
carry , and yet didn't want to let go. During
the afternoon Ilttlo girls 7 and 8 years old
worn laboriously trudging about the main
court , hanging llko grim death to huge
melons that they apparently Intended to
carry around with them until they went
home.
Exceutlve Committee
At the meeting of the executive commit
tee , hold yesterday afternoon , John Due ,
the chief of pyrotechnics of the exposition ,
made a proposition to put on the battle ol
Santiago for ten nights , including the
Peace Jubilee week. His proposition was
for ; SOO per night. No action was taken ,
as a number of the members of the commit
tee were absent and also because there waa
a desire to Investigate the matter and as
certain if the feature would Justify tbo
expense.

The Midway concessionaires nnd employes
gave a dnnco at Tom Cummins' hotel last
night , the proceeds of which went to the
exposition guards. The affair commenced at
11 o'clock and continued until a late hour
this morning , A largo number of people
were present and a still larger number of
tickets were sold ,
The war relics that were shipped from
Santiago to bo exhibited at the exposition
seem to have gone astray. They should
have been heard from before this but no
word has been received except the bare fact
that they were shipped sornet'lmo ago. A
tracer has been sent out and Major Ward
hopes to bo able to locate the shipment In
a few days.
Major Ward of the War department has
returned from Washington. The exhibit of
the department has been Increased by the
arrival of another Spanish Hag , which will
be installed today. This was taken from the
Spanish converted cruiser "Mexico" nt the
surrender of Santiago to General Shatter
July 17. It Is a much larger flag than the
one previously received.
