Terrible Horseracing.

Sometime ago there was remarkable
horse race in Europe between German
and French army officers. The cruelty
TO the horses 10 this race shocked the
feelings of every civilized person famil-
lar with he facts. 1t was not intended
that any especial good to anybody
should come OF this race; it could only
test the powers Of endurance both Of
man End animal Il was cruel in
marked drgree TO both. Now it seems
that some 800 cowboys are to start
from Chadron. little town in western
Nebraska. on a similar trial Of brute
endurance The distance - be travelled
is 200 miles and the day Of starting is
now fixed for sunrise, June Is. Each
cowboy is allowed bat two horses for
the entire distance ami the first one
who reaches the Nebraska State Build
ing at the Worlds Fair grounds in
Chicago is too have $500 and the
second $500 If this race takes place
the papers will be full of the particulars
Just as they are of the particulars of a
brutal prize fight, and the novelty of
the thing will attract readers. But
whst good can come from such exhibit
ton of brute endmance2 There is
probably not one man in the whole
300 who would be respectable or de-
sirable citizen of any decent town, and
it doesn't make particle of difference
to anyone outside of the 300 who wins.
The ponies Will be under severe torture
from the day they start until the race is
finished and will be dead or worthless
when the race is done. Brutality will
be brought into prominent notice and
humanity is out of the question. 1t is
however, the duty of every good citi-
zen everywhere to cry down any such
exhibition of cruelty and if possible
prevent its taking place. Newspaper
dom everywhere should cry out against
such a performance and raise such a
storm Of opposition from the people
of the civilized countries along
the propose route of these semi-barbar-
ians that the race shall be given up, or
broken up before il is well started.
Governors Of states can put a veto upon
the thing just as easily rs upon dis
graceful prize fight.

one of the high bridges which crosses
the Miss River from St. Paul to West
St. Paul when his attention was drawn
to a man standing near the outer rail
OF the bridge and q horse and buggy
near BY. As the young man was pass
ing C. S Rogers spoke to him kindly
and asked him where be thought the
river was deepest. With the idea that
the man was a stranger and curious
about the river and the height of the
bridge the young man stopped to talk
with him and they walked quite dis
lance up and down the bridge. When
the young fellow came to what be
thought was the deepest part of the
river which is under the bridge l50 or
200 feet. the young man walked on after
exchanging business cards and taking
an order to put some electro bells ia
new house which Rogers was shout to
build, but on turning round sgain TO
look at his new acquaintance saw him
climbing over the outer rail Of the
bridge The young man, whose name
is Karl, shouted to him not to dothat or
he would fall. Rogers called to him
Ito never mind him, that he was an
angel and angels could hy." Karl
rushed to Rogers and throwing his
arms round the mans neck tried to pull
him back onto the bridge but Rogers
calmly told him to let go and to take
the horse and buggy home, and pulling
himself away in spite of karrs efforts
to restrain him swung out over the
surging current. He came to the sur
face but once and either died during
the fall or was killed by the terrific
force with which he struck the water.
No cause but that of overwork can be
assigned for the act. He was not I'M
fortunate in business and only lately
came into the possession of two or three
hundred thousand dollars through the
death OF relative. Nothing unusual
in his manner has been noticed by his
family or his business associates and
the only cause assigned is temporary
insanity; one of those spells brought on
by combination of place, and crcum-
stances which for the moment surround
the individual There are few people,
who. when on a high tower or building
do not feel peculiar sensation and a
desire to throw themselves to the
ground. Indeed this feeling is SO COM
mon that many people aware of the
weakness will never allow themselves
to look from the edge of the top of a
building or from high window. Who
will tell what is the cause of these SEN
sations which are so common and which
doubtless have carried many persons to
suicidal deathso

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
E1stachian Tube. When this tube gets
lnfamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
