Eutt,
HA8TTNOS. Neb., Feb. l.-Speelal.)-A
meeting of the stockholders of the local
racing association ,wtll be held aoon to
determine whether or not Heatings ahall
abandon Ha plac In the gtate apeed cir
cuit. At a meeting of the Btata Speed associa
tion in Lincoln a few weeka ago Haatlnga
waa aaalfmed datea which will bring; the
horses to thli city during; Chautauqua
week. The Chautauqua offlclala objected
to the conflict with their enterprise, and
with a view to straightening out the mat
ter President Buck of the State Speed a
aoclatlon waa asked to call a meeting; of
the circuit committee for the purpose of
changing the Hasting racea to aoma other
week.
It haa been found that no satisfactory
rearrangement of the state circuit can be
brought about and If the racea are held
according; to the present echedule they
will be In competition with th Chautauqua
events, which Include speeches by Senator
LeFollette, Judge Lindsey of the Denver
juvenile court, J. Carleton Lee, J. Adam
Bede and other persona of not.
The, local racing' association haa worked
hard to arouse Interest In racing here,
and It Is believed that If th place In the
circuit la given up It wlll.be many years
before Hastings, can again secure recog
nition, by the state association.
Rev.' If. B. Harrison, secretary of the
Chautauqua, haa predicted that both the
Chautauqua and the racea If held
simultaneously cannot succeed. Aa the
situation now stands It will be practically
a war between the two enterprises. The
race promoters Insist that the races will
not pull down the Chautauqua attendance,
but will serve to attract many people to
the city from other towns who would not
come for the Chautauqua alone and that
these i people will patronise both enterprises.
However, the matter Is to be left to a
vote of the stockholders of th racing
association, a majority of whom are said
to be alao atockholdera In th Chautauqua.
If It la agreed that the two affaire cannot
be successfully conducted at the earn time
th rare meeting will be given up.

W. A. Mackenzie writes from his horn in
Sparta, 111., a bunch of things to the Sport
ing News about his strenuous time aa
manager of th decaying St. Joseph team
.n the Western league. Here ara sum ex
cerpts which may be interesting: . ., .
"About the most thrilling series of light
comedy and dramatio roles I ever ex
perlenced was in 1W6 as manager of the
Ill-fated St. Jo team In the Western
league. I took charge after Jay Andrews,
Charlie Dexter, Pennell, Douglas and a
bunch of stars had become memories only.
Th, noia.tlon waa flanclally embarrassed
and fcaidle Ztnran had been staggering
along with about the weirdest bunch of
base bail talent (?) ever gathered together.
Barnum would have been pleased to have
exhibited them in an annex to the big show.
"Zinran did his best with two pitchers.
Glen Llebhardt and Pop Kyler, but with a
what-ls-it infield in which Qulllan starred,
an outfield containing but one capable man
and no substitute catcher, the bunch had
not annexed a game for six long weeka.
"I managed to sign Bert Farrell, out
lawed but playing under the name of Shea;
Mitze, catcher; Wilson, a second baseman
from southern Illinois: McCail of the Texas
league and Charlie Fair, an independent
pitcher, and after whipping the team Into
shape we won Ave straight games and the
town went wild.
"We finished the season with eleven
straight games at Omaha.
"Under Instructions from the league,
Rourke attached all our gate receipts and
on the last Sunday I waited until the old
boy had his crowd In the gates, then re
fused to play unless he coughed up aU our
share of the gate money. After much
parleying he did so secretly relieved, I
think for Pa la) 18-carat and hated to see
the players lose their salaries. We had a
warm session at the Millard that night,
for I had only enough to pay the boys
about 320 apiece and most ' of them hot
footed back to St, joe to see me a i rectors.
I Imagine there was a warm time there
next day. The league finally paid them.
"Pitcher Fair refused all professional of
fers last year, but this season will be with
Webb City In the Western association.
Glen Llebhardt, If his asthma doesn't bother
him, will open the big leaguers' eyes this
rear, as will Qulllln of Chicago. The latter
consider one of the fastest third basemen
in the country. However, take my tip for
It, If he Is forced to play short, he will
never be the player -he Is at third. I also
had Durbin with me at St. Joe and If his
arm and back la O. K. will do nicely for
the Cubs."
Well, well, well. Seems like going back
to school and th town lot again. Presi
dent O'Brien of the American association,
has signed old Jack Kerlne on his umpire
staff. D'yo mind old Jack? Jack Is the
fin old catcher that gave ' backbone to
Louisville in th original American associ
ation, of which the St. Louis Browns were
the "Four-tme Winners." Jack Is the boy
who developed Toad Ramsey, that left
handed phenom and helped make Guy.
Hecker one of the best pitchers, who ever
threw a ball. It waa this same Jack, who
used to fall on his knees behind the bat
when he couldn't atop the low ones any
other way. This Is th way he am to
bring out Ramsey's drop ball to such ef
fectiveness. The nam of Jack Kertna
brings up many a fond recollection of the
halcyon days and his numerous friends will
hope for him as umpire in the association
that bears the same name at least the same
success that he achieved in the old Ameri
can twenty years ago. j
That real science will win In the long run
at whist was demonstrated this week when
Mrs. E. H. Martin and Mrs. R. W. Bailey,
two of the leading whist players among
the women of Jthe west, won from Fay
Neeley and Arthur Scrlbner. A week- ago
the young men had beaten the women at
whist by working a system of their own,
but the tables were reversed at the last
; sitting when the women won by twenty-
seven point on twenty poaras up ana
back.

is to be built for the use of the players

Pope snd Tolles also were In good form.
Numerou fouls wer made. The play waa

BLOOD TAINT
Scrofula is not a disease that is acquired, under ordinary circumstances
It is a deep-seated family blood taint, handed down from feneration to gen
eration, blighting the lives and capping the vital forces of innocent persons
who have inherited this legacy of disease. Parents who are blood relations
or who have a consumptive tendency, or blood disease of any character, are
sure to transmit it to their offspring, and it usually takes the form of Scrofula.
Swollen glands, brittle bones, wealc eyes, sores and eruptions on the body.
Catarrh, and often deformities with hip disease, are the principal ways in
which the trouble is manifested. In some cases the blood is so filled with
scrofulous germs and poisons that from birth the sufferer is an object of pity
because of suffering and a total lack of health, while in other instances
favorable surroundings and prudent living hold the disease in check until
later in life, A deep-seated blood disease like Scrofula can only be reached
try the very best constitutional treatment. A remedy is required that can
renovate the entire blood supply and drive out the scrofulous and tuberculous
deposits. S. S. S. is the greatest of all
blood purifiers 5 it goes to the very bottom
of all blood disorders and removes every
taint and poison from the circulation,
makes rich, healthy blood and cures Scrof-
,.... ... wa permanently. S. S. S. supplies the
PURELY VEGETABLE diseased blood with the rich, health-
sustaining properties it is in need of, and
snakes this life stream fit to supply every part of the system with strength
and vitality. Scrofula yields to S. S. S. because it is a natural blood puri
fier. Write-far book on the blood and any medical advice desired. No

NEW TORK. Feb. 1 R, O. Dun t Coe
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Although th average of sixty of the most
active railway securities fell this week to
the lowest point since 1WH, there was no
corresponding reaction In commercial activ
ity, which continued beyond precedent. Re-
fiorts rrom leading manufacturing centers
ndlcate that scarcely anv idle machinnrv
can be found. Forward Business Is most
extensive In the Iron and steel manufacture
ana the cotton Industry, but (other proml- 1
nent producers have liberal contracts on J
hand also, and the mercantile outlook Is
bright. Wholesale houses receive large I
contracts for snrlnr delivery. esDeolallv '
In dry goods lines, and the settled winter
weather baa produced a wholesale reduction
In retail stocks of heavy weight wearing
apparel.
Little specification for delivery of Besse
mer Iron by the nromlnent steel Interacts
during the last week haa Increased the I
available supply. A large order for cast
iron pip, Involving 28,000 tons, and several
other Important orders for pipe and tubes
have stiffened quotations to the extent of
about tl per ton. Bridge work and other
contracts keep the market bare of struc
tural shapes, maintaining firm prices.
Prices of minor metals are sustained by
a steady demand, the electrification of
steam railway aupplytng a demand for
copper that la not facilitated by th de
lay In moving fuel and machinery.
Notable atrength Is atlll the feature In
primary markets for cotton goods, and
predictions of further advances are being
realised constantly, despite apparent prece
dents to the contrary. A general resume
of the situation discloses a level of prices
and a scarcity of supplies that haa not ex
luted since the civil war, while there Is the
additional factor of no element threatening
weakness, although quotations are conceded !
to be abnormally high; but with the pro
duction of mills sold ao far ahead, there
la no Interest in new bunlnesa and spot
stocks are practically nothing, while In
many departments no goods will be avail
able for some months.
New England footwear manufacturers re
port liberal supplementary spring orders
from eastern wholesalers, and are operating
all machinery In filling these contracts,
while shipping departments are busy for
warding the shoes when completed.
No changes In prices are reported, the
most grades of leather being steady at the
recent advance, except that concessions are
offered In Texas oak hides. Belting butts
are very strong. Tanners of glazed kid
report that the cost of goat skins is above
parity with finished leather and some lead
ing concerns are curtailing production.
Packer hides have again sold at full figures
on small, lines tn some sections of the
market notably for country buffs.
Commodity markets I ave shown little
activity during the last week and variations
In prices were fractional.
BRAD STREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Croaa Currents tn Retail Distribution
Due to Weather Conditions.
NEW TORK, Feb. 1. Bradstreet'a to
morrow will aay:
Irregular weather conditions make for
numerous- cross currents In retail trade,
but there Is evidence of enlargement In
some lines of spring business, notnblv
cotton goods, good demand for coal, which
Is limited only by capacity of mills, whole- ;
Balers or jobbers to deliver. In the Iron
and ateel trade conditions vary with the
material and sections reported so far as:
future business Is concerned. Colder
weather and clearance sa'es have stlmu- '
lated trade. In the northwest trade, traf- j
fio and contraction feel the effects of heavy
snow falls, coming on top of an acute car 1
shortage, though that section appears to be
gradually winning out, except in parts of ;
the Dakotaa. There la lltte .change to be i
noted In crdp reports. The cold weather I
of last week has been succeeded by rains
or enow and the wheat belt has hsd a bet
ter snow covering than at any previous tima 1
this winter. 1
The market for textiles are strong, with
cotton goods leading snd displaying re-!
markable strength. All lines of cottons
sell freely at high prices. Dress fabrics of
silk, worsted and linens sell well. Woolens
are not so active. Rubber footwear, neg
lected last winter, sells actively. Shoes are
doing well at retail. Leathers are active
and export demand Is a feature. Demand
for lumber feels seasonable conditions, but
future business booked Is large. On the
whole the situation as regards pig Iron la
easier, checking the movement toward ab
normally high prices. Pittsburg reports
the sale of 13,000 tons of bessemer, basic
snd malleable iron for second, third and
fourth quarter delivery, the prices being
4.v 10 respectively, wnicn indi
cates a slight shading. The supply of
steel from Independent Interests is a little
better and billets at Plttaburg are oft 60
cents a ton.
New business In steel rails Is not heavy, 1
dui prenuuiue are Deing onerea lor rainy
prompt supplies and this latter statement
applies to plates. Independent tin plate
plants have added 10 cents per box to goods
sold for third quarter delivery. New busi

"With the Maine election of 1880," h said,
"matters began to look bad for, our ticket,
and Mr. Garfield agreed with me that we
must In soma manner enlist ConkUng and
Piatt In our causa. I advised that w com

The Reliable Specialists
y first warnings of dancer
party and vie Frealdent Arthur made a
trip to Albany to confer with Senators
Piatt and ConkUng, supposedly for th pur
pose of winning them back to th adminis
tration, Nast cartooned him aa a bootblack
potlahing th disgruntled senators' shoes.
Th artist lived to deeply regret that car
toon, for when Arthur succeeded to the
presidency bs proved so noble a chief ex
ecutive that he won the respect and even
th lovs of his enemlea.
Th sequel of the Albany Incident oc
curred on the eve of the national conven
tion of 1384. Arthur had become Nast'a
candidate for the nomination, and he waa
alao favored by certain member of the
Harper firm. With J. Henry Harper, Nat
called on President Arthur at th Hoffman
bona tor th purpose of urging him to
make a more definite personal effort to win
th nomination. Thy Believed that a com-
nut there Is one thing you do not know.
! Is true I went to Albany again I did ao far
descend from the dignity of my office aa to
go to see Piatt and ConkUng but I did not
go to conciliate them. It waa worse than
that much worse. I wen to Albany that
laat time becaus they sent for ms to oome.
I went on their order to come and explain
why I had not made good my pledge. They
knew I would not refuse to come, and I
did go, and I humbled myself for not hav
ing been able to keep my plighted faith.
Now you understand why your picture was
even truer than you could know."
During the final sentenoe th president'
voice was broken, and when he finished the
tears were streaming down his cheeks. A
gentleman of gentlemen 111 and already
nearlng the doorway of death th memory
of his broken pledge and his humiliation
