10 matter what time was made. Mr..
Chapman and his horse Bones were ap-
parentlY the only people in 1t and won
easily. Mr.. Brooks had very bad luck
with his saddle and finally started with
the cinch trailing. As the horse plunged
ahead the saddle crept forward and by
the time the first goal of the journey was
reached Mr.. Brooks was riding, not on
the horses back, but in the neighborhood
OF his ears. After jumping off the saddle
fell under the horses feet, which caused
the animal to prance around and finally
break away Mr.. Brooks was forced to
walk back. Badly was second and Dick

M
MIR. Mason Was yerv Much Astonished
at What He Saw.

Dl
Secretary W. N. Mason and James
Stephenson, the committee delegated to
represent the Board of Trade at the
Wyoming mining convention, returned
lyst night from Cheyenne where they
spent a couple of days in attendance upon
the convention and enjoying the beauties
of that thriving city.
Mr.. Mason stated this morning that he
was entirely overcome by the energy and
ability displayed by the young giant Of
the Rockies, to say nothing of the more
than generous treatment accorded the
| representatives Of Omaha's Board Of
Trade.
This visit has been a revelation to
me, > remarked Mr.. Mason. 81 expected
to see = thriving city, but | must say l
was not prepared for such an exhibition
of push and energy as was displayed on
all sides. The city is a beautiful one and
they lave some very fine buildings. A
park near the center Of the city denotes
the existence OF a strong public spirit.
The mining convention was held in
the senate chamber of the state house. a
beautiful tone structure situated on a
slight elevation above the business portion
of the city. In the basement of the state
house was a nicely arranged exhibit of
the mineral resources of the state, filling
three large rooms and making a collection
well worth the while of any one who can
spare time to look it over. As l under.
stand it, the puopose other organization
is to maintain and perpetuate a societ,
whose objects are to secure the develop
ment OF the mineral resources of the stat
and encourage the establishment OF manu-
factories, thereby increasing the wealtl
and population of the state. They vii
also increase the mineral collection unit
it assumes a magnitude that will attrac
the attention of all visitors to the world
fair, at which it will be exhibited. and BIZ
the means of directing attention to the
unlimited u of the state In the
way of minerals.
THE mining of all kinds of precious
metals Is not the only resource at the
command of Wyoming, however," con
tinued Mr.. Mason, with the air of a man
who had fully investigated the matter.
They a immense coal and oil fields as
well, and 1t is we'll known that Wyoming
is n of the finest stock-raising states in
| the union.
"Now, all this brings us to one conclu-
sion. The people of Wyoming are moro
than anxious to meet Nabraska and
Omaha IN a proposition to exchange
products and do everything which is
going to develop Wyoming's resources.
The state is our natural territory, in a
business sense, and we should be as much
interested in developing it as the citizens
of that state. All their trade is bound to
come here and it is just as important snd
extensive as that Of Montana. l am in
favor of q strong move on the part of
Omaha business men to encourage Wyo-
ming industries and seek their trade"

The Goodyear. Glitch and Schilling
Minstrel company had a very fair attend
ance p their performance at the opera
house last evening. The company has
abandoned many of the ancient features
OF the ordinary minstrel company, and
introduces some specialties which prove
of immense interest to the audience.
Charley Goodyear was wonderful in his
makeup and very clever in comedy. The
balancing feats of the Arabs, Magus and
Abacco. were novel and daring.
The musical features of the perform
ance were especially pleasing. The vocal
selections were well rendered, the orches-
trail effects fine. and the banjo selections
of E. M. Hall of a high order OF merit.
The company made . good impression
and the audience seemed appreciative of
every number on the programme.

Dougherty, the owner of Chico. was
rather warm about the start he got in yes
terday's race and made the remark that
his pom could beat any of the starters
for 800 a quarter of a mile. MI. j.. HI.
Temple, who was in the office OF the
association at the time, at once threw out
his $l00 bill. Dougherty covered the
money and the race will come off this
afternoon. Mr.. Temple will have the
name of the horse he picks posted at 2
o'clock. His choice will probably be

Master Kildare won the qnarter in &c,
and from this point onward the race was
thoroughly uninteresting. Parnell was the
only horse that was in a condition to do
anything and won the half in :55. the
tbree-quarters in 1923 and the mile in
l:554, coming in at n canter.

Novelty Race.

The only disappointment experienced
in a day full OF good events was in the
novelty race, which disappointed every
one, destroyed all betting calculations and
left the betting men high and dry. There
was = fine string of horses entered for the
race and it should have been a glorious
event. The horses included Hunters
Sorrel John, Dougherty's Chico, Al.
Shores Bugle. Oxford Horse company's
Master Kildare, q. G. Sutton's Joker,
Temples Parnell and Richardson Bros.
Blue Jay. In this race prizes were given
for the quarter, half, th~ree-quarters and
mile, and pools were sold for each. Chico
sold against the field for the quarter, Sor-
rel John for the half, Bugle for the three
quarters and Parnell for the mile. This
gave a decided variety and q very ex-
tended range to the betting. The horses
showed up in very fine shape and a great
race was looked for. Unfortunately a
false start was made. which several of the
jockeys took for a go. Somebody in the
crowd yelled "gol" and about half the
string actually did GO. They state Mr..
Chapman did not drop the flag, but the
judges failed to sound the bell until the
horses we're going around the first turn.
Sorrel John and Bugle made the run of
the full mile and suffered most for the
actual race, although nearly all the
horses were more or less usrd up. This
caused a great commotion. AL. Shores, the
owner of Bugle, danced a Highland fling
in the middle of the race track, but the
judges were memorable. They decided to
call the race at once. and soon all the
horses were again scoring for . start. Be-
fore the eighth was reached and while the
horses were still punched Blue jays sad
die broke and the jockey was violently
pitched to the ground in the midst of the
flying feet. 1t was at first thought that
he was dead, but it afterward turned out
that he was simply badly stunned and no
bones were broken. The horse was cap
tured without interfering with the race.

The Hurdle.

The first race yesterday was the $500
cup hurdle race one mile catch weights.
The starters were Adam. owned by Dan
Hogan. Joker by the Oxford Association
aud Rambler, by @. G. Logan. When
the pool box opened thers were not many
buyers. The hackers of Joker and
Rambler feared that Adam might win the
race while the Adam men had not enough
confidence in him to back him very
strongly. The young man who was to
ride Adam was barred and Q. G.. Sutton.
who rode Monte the winning horse in the
hurdle race Wednesday. was destined to
pilot the winner yesterday. As soon as 1t
became generally known that Sutton was
to ride, Adam men felt more confident
and the pool box closed with Adam selling
favorite. One of the three hurdles was
placed just back Of the grand stand.
1t was, OF course, the third hurdle
and was removed as soon as it
had been cleared by the horses.
There was not much trouble in starting,
Joker and Rambler were ridden by boys
and started nicely together leading Adam
by at least twenty feet. Adam was on
the outside of the track but before q
hundred yards had been run was on the
inside and in the lead. He gained per.
ceptibly and was considerably in the lead
when the first hurdle was reached. he
cleared it beautifully and if any time was

CHANGED souLs.wITH, A STRANGER.
An Account of Queer Case in the Double
Life of Kansas Girl.

! OF all the remarkable phenomena that
! the psychical societies have discussed none
| has been more wonderful than the case of
northwest Kansas girl. The girl is Mary
| Vennum, resident of Rawlins county. 1t
is believed that she has lived two lives-or
has had another's personality impressed
upon her The Vennum family lived neigh
! bors to a family named koff. The latter
| family lost a daughter about the age OF
! Mary, who died in a cataleptic fit
Mary Nenpum was also subject to these
fits, and at the age Of twelve or thirteen
became so greatly afflicted with them that
her lie was almost despaired of. While
she was suffering from an attack the kofs
called on her and were startled to see how
closely she resembled their dead daughter.
After many hours Of suffering Mary
came out of her fit, and although she was
not changed in feature she seemed entirely
SO in mind. To all inuents and purposes
she became Mary Koff. 1t can hardly be
said that she was transferred in mind to the
Kof girl, for she was that girl.
The Mary Kof whom she had become
had died suddenly, yet where her life was
broken off she took it up and continued its
interrupted duties. going to live with the
Keff household and would not be dragged
away. She strongly resembled the Kod
girl, and was allowed TO go and live with
! the Koffs, hoping it would cure her.
She was perfectly content in her new
home, and from the moment she stepped
inside the doors seemed perfectly familiar
with all the households proceedings. She
seemed TO know every piece of furniture,
carpet, picture and room, and appeared
L -, Il,
visited the house before she seemed TO
recognize the belongings Of the dead girl
as her own
On one occasion she ran through the
house saying. Mother. where Is my pink

wore before she died Again she inquired,

member having spoken OF him since their
acquaintance with the Nenuums IL is
considered by the occultlsts as remarkable
instance of thought rransterence, and IS
explained thus; The girl was suffering
from catalepsy, the attacks being frequent
and acute.
While in this condition she was visited
by Mr. and Mrs Koff. whose departed
daughter she much resembled. She re-
minded item greatly OF the daughter who
had suffered from the same disease, and
had displayed the same symptoms. What
could be more natural, then, Il thought
transference is ever possible without the
aid Of the senses, than that the intense
feelings toward their absent daughter.

Cables Furnish Something to Talk About.

Cables Furnish Something TO Talk About.
The five big electric cables that are
stretched over the Brooklyn bridge are q
more fruitful topic of popular discussion
than the weather, and cause more eontro-
versies than politics. On a moderate COM
putation about thirty citizens of Brooklyn
fall out every day about them. The ques-
ton is what they are covered with.
The cables are laid side by side on wooden
supports in the open space between the
railroad tracks. They are of one uniform
dark grayish color from end to end. At
the tower, where they begin, there are
joints wiped" with solder in true plumber
style, and then you are certain the casing
of the cable is lead pipe a little bit fur
Their on the covering is wrinkled and
scanned, and then you are sure it is painted
cloth like the aerial cables in the street
Next you observe some scratches appar-
emily showing fresh lead underneath; so
then you lean to the pipe theory again.
After this are lot more Of wrinkles and
just when you are satisfied that it is cloth
after all, you get to the middle of the
bridge, where there are more joints neatly
wiped" with solder and you swing back
to the pipe platform. This sort OF thing
lasts until you get TO the end OF the bridge
and the cable sinks from sight
One pleasant circumstance about it is
that no matter which view you take OF it
your friend will always take the other
The cables never look the same to two per
sons. If you are convinced it's cloth the
other man is cock sure its lead, and when
you think it's lead be is ready 90 swear it's
cloth.-New York Herald.
