Fifty Million Feet Of Logs Now in the
Jam.
CREWS HARD AT WORK ON IT
Testimony in the Omnibus Injunction
George Roney Held to the
Grand Jury.

Log men who arrived from the jam
near Taylor's Falls yesterday, report
the blockade as extending from Big
Rock, three miles up the river, and
containing about 100000 feet, with
constants additions to the rear from the
running logs. A steam engine and
crew of men are working heroically to
break the jam, though nothing has been
effected as yet. Charles August Staples
says: 81 don't know whether the dams
are all shut down now or not, but I'll
tell you we will never get that jam out
without more water. 1t will take lots
of water and lots of beans to do the
work."

How Jockey Avenged Himself
on His Master.
St. Louis Republican.
Bobby Swimm was great jockey, but
he would drink. On one occasion in
Lexington there was to be race be-
tween Himyar, then three-year-old,
owned by Col. Thomas, of Fayette
county, and Cammie f. Swimm wanted
the mount on Himyar, but Price adj
vised against him and his offer was
declined. Now is my chance to
get square," said Bobby. "lu
ride Cammie F and beat the best
three-year-old this country has ever
seen. Going to the overs of Cammie F
he told them just how he felt, and that
he would win the race if he rode her.
He got the mount. This was the night
before the race, and it rained all night.
At the break of day Swimm took the
mare out and sent her around the
course once. Then he dismOunted and
walked around the track, carefully eX-
aiming its condition.
When the race came off Himyar took
the lead and Bobby took pull on Cam
ME F. He kept, however. forcing the
colt to do his best until they entered the
home stretch. Them Himyar seemed TO
come away. Bobby, however. was not
mapping. Cammie F, under his guild
ance, seemed to swerve, and the shouts
of the multitude of spectators went
up, "Himyar wins!" A moment later
they noticed Bobby coming on the
outside of the track with Cam
mie like a streak of chain lightning.
He had got on the dry part of the track,
and they cheered him as he landed the
mare a winner, making the deposed
jockey feel we'll rewarded. AS he
walked up to Col. Thomas after he had
weighed in he remarked: 81 guess you
will let me ride Himyar the next time
he starts" He never did, however, as
the colonel could never place any conf
dence in Bobby.

FESTIVAL OF FLOWERS.
President Harrison Witnesses an
Unusual Parade at Bar Harbor


BAR HARBoR, Maine, Aug. 16.-Very
soon after arriving at Bar Harbor to-
day President Harrison lunched with
w. b. Howard. whose cottage, MoSSley
hall. stands directly opposite Stanwood.
Then the driving floral parade called
for attention. The party drove to the
Kebo Valley club grounds in order to
witness it. President Harrison and
Mrs. Blaine occupied the first car
riage, Secretary Blaine being seated in
the second. At QUE end of the prom
enade at the club house a Sec
ton had been decorated with American
flags and reserved, and from it the pres
ident and Secretary Blaine looked at
the beautiful effects which were pro-
duced below. Secretary Tracy looked
on from carriage. From one end of
the promenade to the other, i'll the band
stand, on the ground in front OF the
club house. and in the concourses just
opposite was a great gathering of spec
tators; while along the race track went
about thirty vehicles of various styles,
and decorated in various unusual ways.
All these vehicles contained prominent
residents of Bar HarbOr and the
neighborhood, ladies being largely
in the majority. Golden rod
decorated the first board
which was occupied by a dozen ladies
drawn by four white horses. Each of
the ladies held stalk of OF golden rod
and one end of ribbon Of that color.
which dangled from center piece
above. Their white dresses, as we'll as
the blackboard, were lavishly trimmed
with the flower. In the four-horse car
rlages following the floral decorations of
lavender, yellow and purple, had been
literally applied. and other carriages
were decorated and dressed as
thoroughly, and each succeeding turn
out brought new surprise. Miss Mar
garet Blaine drove phaeton, whose
wheels even were covered with
flowers. In reality almost every
carriage with it's floral adorn-
ment had new features, originality in
decorating being apparent, and the oc-
cupants appearing in character. The
procession went by the president and
then it drove off into town and upon its
return disbanded. Lunch was served
for the guests and the gathering practi-
cally resolved itself into lawn party.
President Harrison, Secretary Blaine
and their party afterwards dined at the
house of w. S. Guernee and musicale
followed Tomorrow the president
will say goodbye to his host, and at
$50 a. m. will begin his return to Wash

SULLIVAN OUTDONE.
A Drunken Bear Tries to Clean
Out New jersey Bar Room.

A Drunken Bear Tries to Clean
Out New Jersey Bar Room.
New York Evening Sun.
A cinnamon colored bear of vast size
is certainly the most useful, and, were
it not that he seems to be too
short from nose to tail tip for his great
height, would also be the most 0rna-
mental member of gang of Gypsies
who have pitched their tents in hol-
Belleville, N. j. The bear is an ac-
complished brute.
Yesterday he was performing in front
of a liquor saloon, and after his leader
had fallen before his fire, regained his
feet and taken up a collection, some one
proposed to give the bear drink. He
drank four fingers sof Jersey lightning
with evident relish, smacked his huge
lips, and looked as if he would like to
be treated again. His desire was graft
fed. his owner, who makes point Of
allowing his servitOr to take anything
that is offered to him, raising no OBJ
lection. After the glass had been
filled and emptied several times a
subscription was made up, and bottle
of whisky was purchased. The bear
drank it all, but, added to what he had
already consumed, it was too much for
him. He was rolling drunk, and, like
John l.. Sullivan under the same condi
tons, the worst points of his character
assert themselves. He evinced dis
position to use his paws freely, and
when the man at the other end of his
leading rope tried to induce him to re-
tnrn to the encampment he showed
plainly that he proposed to remain near
the liquor saloon and fight it out on that
line if it took him all summer.
To complicate matters still further
somebody cut. the cord by which the
Gypsy controlled him, and he made
staggering charge for the door whence
all the whisky had been brought to him.
He entered with plunge and cleaned
the occupants out of the bar room with
out injuring one of them. They were
all gone before his third groWl had been
uttered. Some went into the back yard,
others through the front window and
few up the stairs. Even the bartender
fed without waiting to ask the intruder
what he would take, and tipping was
stopped, temporarily at least, with
precipitancy that would have warmed
the heart of temperance advocate.
Then the bear went behind the bar,
but whether to drink up the stock or
merely to inspect the arrangements for
dispensing creature comforts could not
be ascertained, for when any one eau
tiously entered the saloon to see what
was going on inside the cinnamon-col-
ored savage drove him out with growls
that sounded like curses. The Gypsy
was voluble with lamentations
and the barkeeper more vol
uble with threats, but neither
of them ventured to take any steps
toward dispossessing the bear. A sug-
gestion to call the constable was laughed
to scorn, and half an hour passed before
the bear, overcome by his potatlons,
dropped into drunken doze. Then
the Gypsy family fell upon him and Sc
cured him with ropes. His frenzy had
vanished, and with returned dOcility he
reeled back to the encampment. He
seemed to be suffering from splitting
headache this morning.

THE KANSAS CITY's KICK.
Stickney Means to Cut Rates as
Soon as He Can.


CHICAGO, Aug. 10. - Preliminary
skirmishing occupied the entire time to-
day at the meeting of the Western
Freight association. The different divi-
sions of the organization met separately
and applied themselves for the most
part to the consideration of matters that
were of little public Importance or had
been laid over from the last preceding
meeting. Notwithstanding the evident
disposition to fight shy of the
subjects that have caused all the
present troubles of the Western
roads, the discussion at times touched
decidedly vital spots. The Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul, which has given
notice of its intention to accept rate
of 81 cents below the regular tariff rate
on cattle between Kansas City and Chi
cago when shipped in common cars,
created some surprise by backing down
from its position. 1t announced that it
would not at present press its claim for
a differential on shipments in common
cars as against the palace stock cars,
and this subject was accordingly passed.
Some attention was given to a complaint
that the Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas
City road had put into effect certain
COMMODITY raGeS nOV AUTHORIZED ny Il1e
association, but no result was reached.
The application of the Chicago,
st. Paul & Kansas City for au
thority to establish the same rates
between st. Paul and Southwestern
Missouri river points that are in effect
between Chicago and those points was
the principal subject of discussion, Gen
eral Manager Egan making a strong ar
gument in support of his company's
position. The application was strongly
opposed, however, and when put to a
vote it was defeated by decided ma
jority. Mr.. Egan announced that he
would avail himself of the privilege
afforded by one of the articles of agree
ment, and give formal notice of his in
tention to put the rates into effect at the
expiration of ten days. Thereupon some
of the other managers appealed the
case to Chairman Walker as arbitrator,
which will prevent the Chicagr, st. Paul
& Kansas City from taking any action
until the case has been heard and de-
cided by the chairman.

The Deaf Deacon of Worcester.

Boston Transcript.
Out in one of the Worcester county
hill villages there used to live, and for
all the Listener knows lives still, 10
cally prominent man and pillar of the
church, who was very deaf. He was
also very complacent man. One night
this man-DeacOn Jones we may
call him-came into the prayer meeting
and sat about gosslping little. all on
his own account, while he was waiting
for the meeting to begin. At last the
meeting was opened by one of the
brethren, who knelt and began a
prayer, but Deacon x. did not hear a
word.
.'Well," said he, presently, breaking
with a loud voice into the others

as soon as the interruption was over.
but Deacon x. was inexorable. After

"Well, brethren and sistren, we
might as well begin!''
The praying brother saw it was no
use, and brought his prayer to close
with hasty Amen" Meantime Dea-
con x. went on.

A thrill of horror went over the little

speak more definitely.

1t was horrible, but the extraordinary
nature of the assassination" tinged

maid, whose principal duty seems to be
to keep vigilant eye on the animal.

Tired Natures Sweet Restorer.

Tired Natures Sweet Restorer.
Statistics of sleep may not prove any
thing of Importance, but they are inter-
esting. According to statistics prepared
in Russia the need of sleep is greater in
women than in men. the duration of
sleep being longer and the percentage
of tired morning and evening, and of
not tired being three to two and two to
three respectively as compared to the
men. Students sleep longer and are
less tired than other men. The time
needed to fall asleep is about the same
in all three classes-2O.S minutes for the
men, Ill minutes for students, and PIP
minutes for women. In each case, how
ever, it takes longer for those who are
frequent dreamers and light sleepers to
fall asleep than persons OF opposite
characteristics,

WHEAT CROP SECURE,
And Beyond All Expectation
Corn and Flax Need Rain.

The wheat harvest of Minnesota is
now practically over. In extreme points
little acreage is still uncut, but is
so small as to cut no figure whatever.
The harvest is secure, and it is safe to
say, it is the largest the state has known
in years. From the latest reports it
looks as though twenty bushels to the
acre-and good, hard wheat-would not
be too high an estimate. AS high as
thirty-two bushels has been reported;
and the lowest estimate covering any
territory is seventeen bushels. The
quality of the grain is excellent, and
farmers are jubilantly sending samples
to market. Some of these samples have
reached as far as New York. and are
exciting favorable comment.
Threshing is in full blast all over
Minnesota and Dakota, and from nearly
every point comes the report: 'Ihe
yield is even better than was expected"
The wheat turns out plump and full,
and though the straw was short the
berry seems to have derived all the
benefit. Very few fields can now be
found unstacked, and the new grain
will soon be finding its way into the
elevators and to market.
Yesterdays rain. if general, was
godsend to both corn and fax. Many
points have had no rainfall for two
months, and the corn crop was seriously
threatened. The late sown flax must
have rain very soon, while some of the
corn is ripening so slowly that, unless
speedily oVertaken by rain, it will be
caught by the early troSts.

Indigestion

is not only distressing complaint, of
L itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla l could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties The medicine has given me
new lease of life"
