Limerick wins the Club Cup.

Limerick wins the club cup.
For many of the audience there was but
one race Yesterday. This was a magnif
cent contest for the Cheyenne club cup.
The entries aad conditions were fully re-
cited in this paper yesterday morning.
The race was called quite late. When it
was announced there was a rush that
could be easily called a stampede for de-
sirable seats. Pool selling continued I'M
til the horses were at the post. Deronda
was a very hot favorite, Wyoming second,
Kildare third, Limerick fourth, and the
remainder in the field, with sometimes
Limerick and sometimes Kildare for com
pany, and the field was sold for almost
nothing. Among themselves the specu.
lators bet or Deronda and the field, usually
even, but occasionally small odds were
given either way.
A few of the native flyers were brought
on the track carly in hoods and blankets
and given a canter, but the cup fever did
not become epidemic until the riders, in
their handsome colors were summoned in
front of the judges stand and assigned
places. This the order: Fleet. Trouble.
Bedouin, Deronda, Lalee, Nellie BY,
Wyoming, Kildare, Limerick and Little
Owl, ten in all and the carefully fitted
pick of native unner

known quantity and her fine appearance
make some of the favorite's a admirers a
tribe nervous. Walter Gardner brought
outsturdy Little Owl, Fleets stable mate.
Owl was the direct antithesis OF his foul
name, but was well in hand.
The stately favorlte, with a constitution
maker-Mr. Irvine in cream and cardinal
aboard was averse to entering the con.
test and set the ladies' screaming BY
cavorting about the paddock. The rider
quickly subdued his mount aud brought
the noble son of Glencoe King on the
track in good order and was applauded.
Deronda is nearlya perfect type of the
ideal race horse and looks every inch a
thoroughbred. He has heavy ~nostrils.

eyes. heavy and deep chest, strong limbs,

The Meanest Man.

Geo. Sutton, who resides in the
vicinity of Mountjoy church, and is
known throughout the country to
not only be an infidel, but about the
meanest man in the state, is now
spending a vacation behind the bars
IN the county jail, at Columbia.
During the progress of an interest
ing protracted meeting, which was
being held at Mountjoy church, Mrs.
Sutton became regular attendant
and manifested much interest in the
meeting. On mentioning the fact to
her husband, he, in very vile and
abusive language, informed her that
If she joined the church he would
give her an unmerciful beating. A
few nights later Mrs. Sutton profess
ed religion and joined the church,
and asked that the members pray
for her husband that she might not
be mistreated when he became aware
ing home that night she, in pleading
words, told her brutal husband that
she had found her Savior and had
put her trust in him. This so an
gered the husband that he, like a
mad man, sprang upon his wife and
beat her numerically. He then
pushed the poor woman out of the
house and locked the door against
her. Half unconscious and trem
bling with fear, she sat on the door
step all night and at daylight next
morning sought refuge among her
neighbors. She was advised to have
Sutton arrested, which she did, and
for his brutal treatment he was plac-
ed in the county Jail for twenty days.
We need the Delaware law and the
public whipping post for such vile
and cowardly scoundrels as Sutton.

A SENSATIONAL MURDERESS.
Mrs. King, the Slayer Of Hen
nv KMg, Goes into M0Ayning.

h"S' oO0o W!O "o"' ""S'
The number of persons who call at
the county Jail in Omaha In the hope
of seeing the murderess of Henry
W. King, jr., has dwIndled from
hundreds to three or four persons
daily. Mrs. King continues 10 write
letters and read all the daily Omaha
and Chicago papers she can obtain.
She seems to have fully regained her
usual health, which is far from we'll,
and does not give way to intense
emotion, such as marked her first
week in prison.
One of the most interesting and
certainly the most sensational incl
dent that has transplred since the
shooting, came to pass when the
prisoner arose in the morning and
attired herself in deep mourning,
dress, collar, handkerchief, and of
the latest style. She says she pro-
poses wearing black the full time
customary for q widow to do so.
Her trunk, large Saratoga, has
arrived, filled to the utmost capacity
with wardrobe articles and presents
given her by Henry W. King, jr.,
during the time which he was living
with her and introduced her to So
ciety and the world in general as his
wife. She fondles them with great
deal of apparently loving care, and
tells how clearly she treasures
them.

THE Missouri legislature convened
at the state capital yesterday. This
being a revising session our solons
are allowed l2O days, at So per day,
in which to do their work. With q
good degree of energy and much
painstaking they may he able to
complete their business in the allot-
ed time, but, in case they should not
be able to do so, they can stay as
much longer as they please. Our
laws, by which We are now supposed
to be governed, are found in the gen.
eral revision of the statutes of 1879,
and the session acts of five sessions
held since then. We believe it is
generally agreed among the lawyers
that revision is badly needed and
that a much better index should be
given it than has heretofore been
had. We trust there will be sufi-
cient talent found in the present
general assembly TO do their work
so we'll that Missouri may become
second to no state in the union for
the simplicity, equity and justice of
her code. Many questions of vital
interest to The people will be before
the legislature this time which will
take dehberative COUNSEL of wise
heads to dispose of properly.

Selling Eggs BY Weight.

Said an old marketman to a news
paper reporter: 1.-The correct way
to buy and sell eggs is by weight.
Number does not show their value,
weight does. Some eggs weigh
twice as much as others. What JUS
tlce or business sagacity is there in
paying the same price for one as for
the other? Is not the farmer who
sells large egg for the same price
that his neighbor sells a small one
cheated? And is not the buyer of
the small one cheated? Just as well
might butter be sold by rolls, the
small one bringing as much as the
large one. People do not sell butter
by the number Of pieces or cheese
by number; nor should the dealer
sell eggs by number. If eggs we're
bought and sold by weight the valut
of certain breeds of fowls would be
changed. Now the breed that far
nishes the greatest number Of eggs
is the most profitable, then it would
be the one that furnishes the weight.
Some breeds are remarkable for the
smallness of their eggs; such breeds
would necessarily suffer in popular
ity, while the fowls that lay large
eggs would gain. - DcRrer Tlezd
and Farm.
