SELECT POETRY.
STOLEN KISSES.

In silence and hush of dream,
With never q sound to be heard,
But touch of lips in the CLEAN
" the fire, and never word.
The echo will ever repeat,
Breaking the silence In twain;
"Stolen kisses are always sweet,
And love is never in vain !" ..e5
For kiss would maiden wake
From the charm of a dreamful sleep,
And a touclf OF true love would break
The peace that the blre eyes keep.
For ever the echo shall greet, .'..
Like song OF ripening rain;
"Stolen kisses arc always sweet,
And love is never in vain !"
When hearts and lips have grown cold,
And love lives but for an hoIr;
When life's romance has been told
And kisses have lost their power,
Then shall soft memory feet,
No more dream to enchain.
Yet stolen kisses are always sweet,
And love is never in vain.

TOUGH TRAVELLING
A Young ETgliShmal Instantly Killed
by thG Cars.
A Tramp Crushed Under the Wheels
at Avoca,

A fatal accident, not In accordanc
with the usual run OF Fourth Of July
accidents, occurred In Norwslk township
Saturday. The Victim was o young man
named william Maloney, and he came
to his death by being hit by a passing
train. Little could be learned about the
young man except from some articles
found on his person. From these 1t
appeared that his name was as above
given, 1t appearing on the hy.leaf of a
bible given to him by Miss Clifford, of
Bristol, England, There were a number
of calling cards, evidently of uome of his
English friends, and a letter full CT
affectionate words from Belle Jones,
and dated Exeter, Neb. 1t
seems from this that he
had been at work on a farm In tina
part of the country. ~ Their
was no money on his person, and he wa
barefooted and poorly clothed. 1t seems
that he had travelled far on foot, his feet
being evidently sore from travel, and he
was seen leaving Underwood on foot
about noon. 1t appears that he sat down
on the bridge about two and a half miles
from there, and fell asleep, and was
struck by a passing train, being rolled
over and over along the timbers for
twenty feet or 80, he being terribly
mangled. The body was brought to this
city by Coroner Cornell, and will be
buried here.

TRACKS ON THE TRACK.
An Omaha Horse Causes Trouble
Among the Boys.

There were about a thousand people at
the driving park Saturday to witness the
sport there. One Of the enjoyable fea-
lures of the day was the racing. There
was q gentlemens' driving race, In which
the entries consisted of M. Weatherbee's
aorrel mare, Prof. Smiths "ElectrIc
Belt" M. f. Rohrer 81 Bro 8 "Flicker, I"
and w. Ed Elam's "Viva."
The score was: Sorrel marc, 2 2; Elec-
trio Belt, l l; Flicker, 3 3; Viva, 4 4;
Time. 3:17, 3:16.
The other race was for the three min
ute class. The first three horses named
in the following score were from the sta.
bles on the track, and the fourth was an
Omaha horse.
Grasshopper, 1 l 8 1 Julius, 2 3 4
4; Ellen Gift, 3 2 2 3; Little Ben, 4 4
l 2. Time 3:0G, 2:4S, 2:49, 2:54.
There were some mutterings about Civ.
Ing the second money 10 the Omaha
horse, "Little Ben" as there was a strong
suspicion from the speed shown by him
that it was not straight work, and 1t was
reported that under a different name he
had a record of 1884. The matter is to
looked into before the money Is paid.
Omaha daily bee., 1885-07-06

The next shoot was for a purse, thirty
one yards rise, and in this there was
much better showing made. Rsickman
and Brosdbeck each got ten birds straight.
De Bevoise, Baldwin, Pussy, and Camp.
bell got nine each. In the shoot-of for
eecond money Pussy won.
The sportsmen had much sport. Rohrer
beat all his previous records, and 1t was
evident that he had been practicing on
the quiet In order to surprise the boys.
He succeeded, and will have hard work
to convince them now that he cannot get
away with the prizs If he wants to.
George Metcalf did remarkably well,
considering the fact that he had a very
lame shoulder.
DeBevoise says q sixteen bore gun Is
all right If only held properly. He tried
to get the reporters to suppress the first
score, and publish only the second
match, but they would not stand 1t, and
he must go down into history on the
record as 1t is.
Col. Hoffmayr unluckily had the Ola.
mond setting Of his ring Knocked out of
time, the loss being $75 and no insurance.

States To be 626. with total mileage
of 44,393. This mileage of proposed

follows:
New England, SIS; Middle states.
