The engine from Council Bluffs was

also propelled by the aid of four power

THE DURANT HOSE COMPANY
was, without doubt, the finest appearing
body of men in the procession. They
were of uniform size and marched with
heads erect and a military tread which at
once told of drill and discipline. The
Plattsmouth company presented a fine
appearance and were headed by a finely
uniformed band, the b. e M. In fact,
every company in the procession is emit.
tied to great credit for the manner in
which they were uniformed and for the
training which they have had under eff.
cient captains and foremen.
In the whole procession there was no
which added more to the sue

Union band. This organization dis

THE STREETS,
AftarnOOn,

From one to three O'Clock yesterda
afternoon Sixteenth street was crowded
with hacks and carriages carrying their
human freight to the tournament
grounds. The several companies did not
go out in procession, but each one went
to the grounds at the time and in the
manner it saw fit, some not putting in
an appearance until three o'clock.
The contests to take place as arranged
by the programme were the green race,
or the one for teams which never had
contested, and the state championship
hose race. The great feature of the
afternoons entertainment was the latter,
but owing to the fact that many of the
visiting tiremen had been fatigued by the
long and hot parade of the forenoon,
the board of control of the association
saw fit to postpone this contest until to-
day, it being placed first upon the pro-
gramme. A gentle protest was entered
against this change by some of the man
ayers but when the board of control stood
firm, they succumbed to the inevita :
BILE.
The green race was to have been
called at three o'clock, but
the entered teams were late in appear
ing and nothing was done until nearly
four. The entries in this race were the
Cleland Hose company of Fremont, the
Deluge company of Omaha, and the
Nebraska City No. /. Lots were cast
for their order in the race and the Gle
lands drew first, the Deluge second and
Nebraska City third. The distance to
be run W 200 yards, besides laying 800
feet of hose, breaking and making a hose
coupling. The judges were Matt Benner,
Of Chicago, and Chief T~empleton, of
the Bluffs, and A. Bruegger, of Chicago
A. B. Crere, of Iowa City, and II. C..
Johnson, of Des Moines, were appointed
time keepers.

Great Engineering Work.


One of the wonders of marine
engineering is the ship canal through
the Finland bay from st. Petersburg to
Cronstadt, in Russia The bay between
the two cities is so shallow that formerly
only vessels of very light draft could
come to St. Petersburg, and in conse-
quence an enormous amount Of lighter
age was necessary, the. cost of which,
some $5.000,000 annually, becoming
altogether too burdensome for the St
Petersburg trade. Since the complexion
of the canal mentioned, the largest
vessels employed in the Baltic trade can
reach St. Petersburg. The canal is
seventeen miles long, and is formed by
two enormous breakwaters running
parallel to each other 275 feet apart
Between them a channel of the uniform
depth of twenty-five feet has been
dredged. About half way between the
two cities the canal is widened TO q
harbor of refuge about one mile square,
also formed by breakwaters. The latter
are almost entirely constructed of cribs
filled with stone, which were generally
sunk in winter time when the bay was
frozen over solid. The cribs were
mostly bnilt on the ice, which was as
much as three feet thick, and sunk
through holes cut in the ice. This work
was by no meanssfree from danger, for
frequently the water would suddenly
rise through the hole made and flood
the camp Of the laborerS, who had then
towork standing knee deep in freezing
gold water AtotEer times q sudden
snow storm, in which it was impossible
to stand erect, would force the laborers
to win the coast, crawling distance OF
three miles or more over the ice.. TIC
complete the canal, it is necessary to
sink about 1900, 900 cubic feet of rocks
and stones, while to deepen the channel
.230, 000,0 900 Acubic feet of earth had tc
be removed. Of course such an under
taking was possible only in Russia, and
at the time when her population wa,
still largely made up of serfs whose
labor could be had for the cost o.
board and clothing. London Neaos

Reading your recent article on Blood
hounds to Catch Convicts,' writes an
esteemed. contributor, am reminded OF
an occurrence which came under my own
observation some forty years ago, which
may interest your readers:
Forty years ago murder committed
in the City of Berlin was of rare oc-
currence, and when the news came once
from Jaeger street, near the Royal
Theater, that an old gentleman living
alone and in good circumstances had
been murdered for hismoney, it spread
like wildfire all over the city.
1.-The news reached the ears of q
brother OF King William, whose residence
was not very far from the scene of the
murder. He, like many other people,
FASTENED to the house and rooms where
murder was committed. but, as the
SEQUEL shows, with an eye to business
and to ferret out in his own way the
possible murderer. a
THE rooms in which the murder was
committed showed that there must have
been hard struggle before the old gen.
tleman was killed, and blood stains of
the murderer could be tracked short
distance from the house, where they
disappeared. 1t was quite early in the
morning yet when the princely detective,
after being back to his residence, APP
peared again on the scene of the muir
der, this time in company with two
gentlemen on horseback; one being
his overseer of hounds, of which
he kept very large number
always the other policeman on horse
back. Immediately the oxerseer. OF
huntsman. set the two hounds on the
track of the murderer, and offthey went,
trailing at a very lively pace, the two men
on horseback following them as good
as they could. In less time than it takes
to write these lines those two dogs
finally halted on Petri street, distance
about two miles, clear up in room
under the garnet of the house, anG
tracked the murderer of the old gentle
man in his lair. Considering that there
was no earthly clue to be found to the
murderer on account of the old gentle
man living alone and having no rela
tons, before those dogs appeared, thu
work they did, in less than hal
an hour cannot be eclipsed by any de
tective living. And in view of the man,
murders in the country would it not pa,
for some Pinkerton TO try the dog as ,
detective. ~ Detroit Free Press.

Henry Ciay's Death.

Henry Clay was forced by ill-health to
abandon his visits to the Capitol in the
winter Of 1882, and to remain in his
room at the National Hotel, hoping that
when spring came he might return to
Ashland and die in the bosom of his
family Those who were permitted to
see him during that dreary winter say
that there was hardly strength enough
in his hands to convey food to his mouth,
and that he was helped to and from his
bed like feeble child, and like an old
forest oak, he was beautiful in decay.
The luster OF his eyes was undimmed,
and he greeted his friends earnestly and
kindly. His voice continued to be all
sweetness and melody, except when its
tones were moved by that bodily weak
ness which made it painful for him to
speak, and it was always painful for him
to speak long. When the last hour came
he had at his bedside his oldest son,
Thomas Hart Clay and Rev. DR.. Butler,
Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, with
which he wasin full communion. His
last moments were disturbed by the
music and shouts of the wings, ratifyingg
the nomination just made at Philadel-
phia of Winfield Scott. -...
When his death was known the next
day, political differences were forgotten
in the touching encomiunls of the de-
parted Statesman, and the sincerity OF
tone in which regret found utterance
from every tongue. There could moi
have been a more sincere demonstration
! of popular regard. Other men have
reached the Presidential chair, but nc
| one has ever attained the post which
Henry Clay held in the hearts of his
countrymen. Mrs Clay who had never
been much at Washington city, was al
their home in Kentucky, and was then
in her seventy-frst year. She had beer
the mother OF twelve children, four Of
whom died in childhood, and only three
of whom were then alive.
| When Mr.. Clay left the State Depart
ment in 1929, be presented all his per
sonal papers to Maior-General Jessup
of the army. General Jessup, who wa.
his warm friend, was his second IN hi.
duel with John Randolph, and had il
his possession all the correspondence
and imprinted instances of that cele
brated meeting. 1t is to be regretted
that he could not have written his rem
iniscenses of Harry of the West.
