LONDON , Oct. S. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) The Ameri
can Jockey , Ted Sloan , kept up his mar
velous average of winning mounts by rla-
Itii , ' two more \vlnncra at the opening of
the Nottingham autumn meeting' today.
Sloan rode in four races nnd his winning
nioutitB were on Dancing- Wave , owned by
Mr. Jersey ( Lily Langtry ) , nnd Manatee ,
the American-bred 2-year-old from the
Lorll urd-Heresforil stable , Dancing Wave
winning the Nottingham handicap and
Manatee the maiden iilate. On the Peter
Flower-Variety gelding Sloan finished second
end to Saxon 1'rinco In the Lenter Fair
plate , and in the Uestwood Nursery plate ,
von by Lo Lune , Santa Regale , ridden by
Sloan , r.in unplaced.
With two winners and a second horsu
n four mounts Sloan's record was quite
up to the form ho has been riding in since
ilH arrival In England , but the profit to
ils backers fell oft materially , as all of
Sloan's mounts started at very short
irlces. Sloan's remarkable success and
the winnings made by Ills American com
panions , who bet on all the horses Sloan
rides , have made , a strong English follow
ing for the llttlo Yankee and the result
of this shows plainly in the short prices
aid against his mounts. The longest post
irlco bet against a liorso ridden by Sloan
today was 3 to 1 , against Santa Regale ,
who did not R&t a. place. The best prlcu
it which ono of Sloan's mounts won was
9 to 4 , against Dancing Wave. Manatee
started nt 100 to 9 , on a small field against
the Variety gelding. The starting price
was C to 2. Straight through the American
> arty did not have a remarkably good day
in their betting operations , but Sloan's
companions can well Stand one or two oft
duys , as the ring estimates that Sloan's
mmedlate party has won nearly $100,000 on
lorses ridden by Sean to date.
The Nottingham handicap , won by Danc-
nei Wave , Is a race ot ( iOO , one mile und
i half. Seven horses ran and Prosperous
InlBhed second iind Acmuna third. Three
lorses run for the Maiden plate of iioo ,
Ivo furlongs , won by Manatee , Pat Mc-
ann finishing second and Dawnfan third.
- or the. lyC'liten .Firs plate of 100. six filr-
ongs , nix horses ran , the result being
Saxon Prince first , the Variety gelding
second and Ocean Wave third. Eight
lorses started for the Uestwood Nursery
ilato ot 200 , five furlongs , won by Le
L-une. with Santa Regale unplaced.
Ted Sloan's American companions In Eng-
and are Charles F. Dwyer , son ot Michael
\ Dwyer , the Brooklyn turfman , and
Charley Qulnn of Lexington , Ky. Both
voung- men are- well known on the. turt.
Qulnn was associated with Rllcy Grannan
hen that turf plunger waa enjoying his
greatest success , is a. bold better , but his
operations have never been largo enough
o put him In the .classs of .plungers.
Dwyer was known on the New York race
tracks as a blg"b"dtte > eight years ago. For
years ho buckt'H 'the horses ot his father's
stable , but two years ago ho branched out
is a horse owner himself and early this
eeason figured prominently In racing af-
'alrs us the owner of the fast and game
i-year-old Sly Fox. Fortune turned against
/oiing Dwyer late in the season and ho
est heavily. He went to England with
Sloan to find a new Held and win back
some of the money his father lost theru
on his disastrous trip with Richard Croker

MAKING AFIGHJON USURERS
Police Authorities In St. LouU Take
n Ilniid Agatnnt the 1/eechcs
Intend to Pronccutc Them.
ST. LOUIS , Oct. 3. Governor Stephens ,
Police Commissioner Hawcs and Chief ot
Police Campbell , who have inaugurated n
war on the usurers of this city , have re
turned from Now York , where they went to
see officials of the Western Union Telegraph
company , and get them to rescind a rule
under which employes were discharged when
served with a garnishment.
For years employes of the telegraph com-
panlea as well as these of railroad and
other concerns in St. Louis have suffered
from the exorbitant Interest chares made
by so-called "money sharks" for loans. In
some cases as high as 40 per cent per month
has boon paid by those luckless enough to
have to borrow money. This had become
such a burden that , it is said , more than
ono man has given up trying to pay accumu
lated Interests and committed suicide.
Recently the telegraphers of St. Louis
started a club to fight usurers , and now the
matter has been taken up In this city by
Police Commissioner Harry B. Hawes , a
prominent attorney , who announces that lie
will proceed agrilnst "any of the usurers'
when proper cases are presented , frco bf
charge. It Is stated that while the party
that went to New York failed to eecuro a
complete 'annulment ot the rule calling for
the dismissal of offending employee , they
did receive a promise that It would bo used
only in the most flagrant cases. The out
come of the flght Is looked for with Inter
est , as its results may be far-rcachlng.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
city council last night the matter of the In
creased assessment of the corporations wng
brought up by Kelly , who offered
a motion directing the city attorney to com
mence mandamus proceedings to compel the
city clerk to place the Increased assessments
an the tax books as ordered by the council.
The resolution also provided for the employ
ment of an attorney to assist the city at
torney. In connection with this resolution
Mayor Ensor took occasion to say that the
stand taken by the clerk \vns not warranted
and set a bad precedent. He held that as
long as the clerk did not lay himself liable
on his tibnd ( by following the Instructions of
the council It was his duty to do so , In
his opinion ( lie clerk had no right to tnko
the matter Into his own hands as ho Inul
done. When put to a. vote the resolution
was defeated , Messrs. Dennett. Cllugcn ,
Mart and Tralnor voting against It. As
Fanfcrllk was absent only three votes , these
of Barrett , Kelly and Wear , were recorded
In favor of It.
The question of making some repairs to n
curbstone on Q sttoet brought out an ex
pression .from the mayor regarding the con
dition of the street repair fund : His honor
asserted that it would bo necessary to go
slowly with expenditures and he thought
that the repairs suggested could bo post
poned for a. time.
The suggestion was made that a poll tax
be. levied in order to bring Into the street
repair fund a sum nulllclent to keep the
streets niul alleys In good condition. It was
stated that the city charter allows the levy
ing of such a tax and ono member stated
that figured on the basis of 3,000 voters
the sum of $9,000 would be turned into the
treasury annually from this source. City
Attorney Montgomery and the committee on
viaducts , streets and alleys will take this
matter under consideration.
Another viaduct repair ordinance was
passed under suspension of , the rules. The
ordinance which was Introduced at the last
meeting was withdrawn and a substitute
offered. It Is understood that the railroads
Interested had nothing to do with the drawIng -
Ing of the new ordinance. An ordinance
creating a s wer district from A to I )
streets between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-
fifth streets was passed under the suspension
of the rules and the city clerk was directed
to advertise for bids. The eower will bo
ten inches In diameter and will have lot con
nections with every twenty feet.
Tralnor offered a motion directing the city
attorney to draft an ordinance for permanent
sidewalks on both sides of Q street from
Twenty fourth to Twenty-sixth street. This
brought up the matter of permanent side
walks and Mayor Ensor wanted to knoxv
what had become of the two permanent
sidewalk ordinances which had been intro
duced some time ago. Ono of these ordi
nances created a permanent district along
Twenty-fourth from J to L streets , while the
other was for walks on both sides of Q
street from the west end of the viaduct to
Thirty-third street. Barrett objected to
Trainer's motion , saying that permanent
walks were not needed at the present time.
After some discussion Barrett amended
Trainer's motioncreating a permanent side
walk District , along both .sides . of Q street
from Twenty-fourth to 'Thirty-sixth street.
The amendment as well as the original mo
tion word lost "whon _ nut to a vote.
The ordinance'creating the office of plumbIng -
Ing Inspector s'lid 'authorizing the mayor to
make the appointment was passed.
Inspector Howard reported having con
demned four head of cattle and sixty-live
hogs during.tho month of September.
John Fallen's Application for a liquor li
cense atj 3122 , Q street was referred to the

damages . , H > , Is'aileKed by Bell , who was
cmployed at Armour's , that , ho fell on the
walk on the Q street viaduct pn the evening
ol September 13 and sustained severe in
juries. The document was placed on fllo.
B. Luckny offered the city $25 a year ftr a
term of five years for the small itleco of
ground owned by the city at the east end of
the Q street viaduct. This offer went to the
streets and alleys committee for couulcl-
erat on.
The sum of $1,000 was transferred from
the special license fund to the general
fund. In view of the fact that possibly the
Union Pacific and Stock Yards companies
may desire to take some action on the
viaduct repair ordinance the council de
cided to meet again Wednesday night. Last
month's bills and salaries were ordered
paid.
"Wolfe Elected Superintendent.

mally elected superintendent of the schools

549 were allowed and ordered paid. Mem
ber Lott suggested that October 12 bo con
sidered a holiday In order that the school

gestion was favorably considered by the
other members and It was so ordered.

Florence a stream of water was thrown to
the top of the soap factory , eighty feet

Just what Is to bo done. The season is
gettlnc a llttlo late for the laying of as

GERMANS PLAN THEIR DAY
Executive Committee DriMV * the Out
line of mi Huthiinlnitlc Colc-
hrntlon for Onmlia.
The various German societies of the city
and South Omaha arc making elaborate
preparations for a celebration to bo held
October 18 , commemorating the day , 215
years ace , when the flrst coterlo of men
from the fatherland landed upon the shores
of America. But October 18 Is a great
day < n German annals for another reason ,
and a celebration at this time will have an
additional significance , for It was on Octo
ber 18 , 1S13 , that the Austrian Prince
Schwarzenberg led Uie combined German
forces against 'Napoleon I , defeating the man
of Destiny for the first time In the battle
known as the battle of Lelpslc.
Thcro are twenty-six German societies In
the two Omabas , and from each of these
organizations delegates have been appointed
to confer and arrange a program that will
fitly commemorate these two events. At
a recent meeting of this board of delegates
finance and executive committees were ap
pointed to consider preliminary details In
cidental to the celebration and draft a re
port of recommendation. This was done
last evening at a Joint meeting of the two
committees In Turner's hall. Many plans
were suggested , tout no definite action with
regard to them was taken.
Philip Andres , who has been traveling
through Nebraska , arousing sentiment
among Germans and interesting their socie
ties In the celebration plan , reported that
the idea 'has met with universal approval
and that enough of these societies had sig
nified an intention to Join with the local
organizations In completing the project to
make Its success assured ,
It was decided to have n parade In the
morning and exercises In the auditorium
during the afternoon. There will bo vocal
music by a German chorus and addresses by
prominent men. Features of the parade will
bo numerous floats that are now building
and the farmers of Douglas and Sarpy coun
ties mounted oh horses. More than 10,000
Germans are expected to participate Irvine
celebration. The committees having the ar
rangements In charge are as follows ; Execu
tive committee , Theo. Slnhold , Charles Ep-
plen , Herman Busch , Charles Rumohr ,
Philip Andres. Finance committee , F. W.

man Is quite serious. His assailant , Stephen
Moore , was latter arrested on a charge of

Moore , who Is also a horscshocr , had lud
trouble with others In the saloon previous
to Cosgrovc's arrival and had threatened to
cut ) several men during the progress of a
dlco game , using the expression that he had
the machinery In his pocket to accomplish
It. When Cosgrovo entered Moore at once
started a quarrel with him regarding a cer
tain wage scale which It waa asserted Oos-
grove had been violating. Moore , who had
been drinking heavily , suddenly drew n

across the head and neck. No artery was
severed , however , and the woun.l was sewed

In the Interest of the public safety the

that residences should not be left entirely
without protection cither tonight or Thurs
day night. The great crowds In the busi

a largo number of pollco here and consequently
quently residence neighborhoods cannot bo

bo taken that no valuables are left In acces

FLYING INSECTS IN KANSAS

WICHITA , Kan. , Oct. 3 , Several hours
before sunset there began to arrive here.
Hying low over the city , a cloud of insects ,
comprising grasshoppers , wasps , bald 'hor '
nets , several varieties of butterflies and
wild bees. They are drifting slowly with
a light breeze toward the southeast , the
lowest flying wosps and hornets clustering
In great numbers about the peaks and spires
of the higher buildings. The cloud of winged
creatures , extending Into the air to the
llrnltB of vision overhead , had been passing
for hours and was still to bo aeon until
darkness fell.
The air la thick with a smoky haze , and
the theory here Is that the haze and accom
panying Insect visitation are duo to the
forest fires now raging in Colorado. The
Insects , It Is supposed , are being driven
from their haunts In advance of the flames.
The advance guard began to arrive yes
terday , but ; owing to their comparatively
small numbers , no attention was paid to
them until they were noticed In myrladi
lute this afternoon.
