Eagle Pass, Tex: Nick Jones, a half
breed, of Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota;
He Dog and Spotted Wolf, Sioux, from
the Rosebud Agency, and Miss Emma
hutchinson, well-known rider of
Denver who at the solicitat ton of Chose
who have seen her wonders in riding,
has been prevailed upon to enter the
race
Anumb Der of the riders have records"
which they will hardly take with them
to the Fair. Doc" Middleton. for in
stance, is one of the boldest tile thieves
and all around bad men in the Black Hill
district and for years was the terror
of Northwestern Nebraska. Of late
years he has settled down somewhat,
however, and excepting an occasional
little debac e with siX-shooters in which
he invaria bly, comes off winner
lives a life of case and refinement as it
We're, and is altogether contented so
long as the sheriff does not come too
close to the place. He is an ideal rider,
is A. years old, weighs $50 pounds and
is nearly six feet in height
Middleton has made a number of
fine long distance rides, his most ia
nous one being quite a mum Ger of
years ago, when he cut the dirt in light
ming style on the trail from Crow But
ties to Long Pine barracks pursued by
several hundred Sioux.
John Flagg, of Big Horn Basin. W.
oming. is another of the riders, and a
gentleman who bore quite an ac
tive part in the Wyoming cattle
war of last year. In fact if Mr..
Flagg had not been in extra fine
shape and with the same kind OF a
horse about that time it is questiona-
bic if his banner would wave on the
present occasion. He is the man. who,
by his nerve and hard riding, saved his
life by scratch, by escaping from the
invading cattlemen after the fight in
which two cowboys, Ray and Cham.
pion, were killed.

A review of the other contestants

Curfew Must Ring Tonight.

At the last session Of tho Canadian par
Lament an act was passed renewing tho
old-time custom OF ringing the curfew at
nine O'clock every night. Any persons IN
der seventeen years OF age found on the
streets after that hour are to be locked up
by the Waterman or police, and unless
satisfactory explanation be offered, the
parents must pay the ~penaltY. Either they
must be fined, or confined in Jail or elfe
they must send their children away to
some public institution to be taken care Of
until the proper authorities SEQ fit to re-
lease them.
The word curfew is a contraction of the
words oonvre-fen, meaning to cove: the
fire. 1t was namely the custom drring the
middle ages to ilaco the fire in a hole In
the middle OF the floor, under an opening
in the roof, to allow the smoke to pass off.
When a family retired for the night tho fire
WAS extinguished by covering it up.
At eight o'clock In the evening the cur
few bell WIS rung, first by William thu
Conqueror, md this was the signal fo- til,
extinguishing of all lights and fires. Thii
early retiring kept people off the street
and prevented to & great extent ~eyenin,

ORIGIN OF WALL PAPER.
King william III. the Ono Who Probably
introduced 1t into England.

King William III. the Ono Who Probably
Introduced 1t into England.
In answer to query as to the origin
of wall papers an English authority
states that the art of making paper
hangings was copied from the Chinese,
among whom it has been practiced
from time immemorial Wall papers
did not come into common use in Eu-
rope till the eighteenth century, but
stamped papers for the purpose appear
to have been made in Spain and Hol-
land about 1855. The first allusion to
wall papers known to exist is in the
examination of Herman SchinSel, a
printer of Delft, who was accused, in
1868, of printing books which were for
hidden by the then prevailing laws
Being Intercepted as to certain bal
lads, he said they had been printed by
his servant in his absence, and that
when he came home and found they
were not delivered he refused to deliver
them, and threw them into corner,
intending to print roses and stripes on
the back to paper attics.
1t is probably to King William Ill.
that England owes the introduction of
wallpapers into that country. Paper
hangings of q sort, it is true, were in
use in England before the time of Will
liam of Orange, but they usually con-
sisted merely of maps of the world,
as it was then known, with fantastic
borders of Indians, negroes and ele-
| plants, and other natives of far-off
regions. The art of paper hanging, in
imitation of the old velvet flock, was
new when William came to England.
| 1t was on the walls of the drawing
room at Kensington palace that these
new hangings were first seen in
Britain. They took the fancy of the
fashionables of the day, and their
cheapncss being an additional recon-
mendation, they speedily came into
general use. -TIarper's Young People.

WATER AND DISEASE.
4 Few Hints About Filtering and Boiling
Vxr1nura I fuuida

A Few Hints About Filtering and Boiling
Impure Liquids.
Impure water should not be used for
any domestic purpose. When only i'm
pure water is to be had, 1t should in all
cases be purified before use.
Boiling Is the most common method
Of rem 1aring innocuous or sterile any
water suspected or known to contain
material which might produce diseases
conveyable by water; such as typhoid
fever or cholera.
1t is not uncommon to hear people
say: ''We do not fear cholera because
we boil all our drinking water" Yet
it is safe to say that half of those who
give orders to have the water boiled,
and even of those who themselves at
tend TO it's boiling, drink water from
vessels rinsed with unboiled water.
1t is plain that the good effects of
boiling the water which is to be used
for drinking purposes are lost, If the
pitcher, or the salad, or the milk can,
or the milk jug has been rinsed with
unboiled water. The boiling of water
is an excellent precaution, but the use
of boiled water should be extended.

The Eject Which Accidents Have on En-.
gineers and Firemen.


OF the superstition of sailors, fisher
folk and others we have all heard, but
thatsuc distinguishing character
istic should have attached itself to
railway men does not appear to be gen
orally known. 1t savors somewhat OF
the anomalous that such pre-eminent-
ly practical class of men sh ould be the
victims of crcdulity regarding the SUI
pernatural. Such, however, is the case.
i recently had occasion I, interview
prominent railway official and in the
course OF the conversation that ensued
that gentleman incidentally, alluded to
two. collisions which had lately oc'
CURED in the neighborhood. following
up his remarks with the announcement
that the local men would be in a state
of subdued excitement and furry
until third mishap took place. Such
Is the superstition of the railway men
Upon expressing considerable astonish
ment I was assured that this kind OF
thing was notorious among railway
men in general, and in this particular
instance it was known that the circum
stances of the two previous accidents
were the chiof topics among the work
men in all departments, who were also
counting on the possibilities of third
disaster.
Cnriously enough touch of realism
was lent to the information just i'm.
parted by the exp lanation that the sec
ond of the two collisions referred to-
was due to the driver of one of the en-
gines, reliable servant, noted for his
alertness and precision, with an hon.
orablc record of some forty years serv.
ice, who was, it was believed, so dis
turbed over the "omens" of the first oc.
currence and so engrossed with what
he felt would be two other catastro-
Plies that he committed the slight err.
ror of Judgment which caused his loco
motive to crash into another coming in
an opposite direction. The statement
is given as the conviction of one who
has spent upward of quarter of a GEN.
fury among railroad men of all classes,
and who has known the driver alluded
to for long period Of years. So came
about second collision. Surely super.
stition could go no further than this.
But here is tragic sequel-a sequel
which unfortunately, will in all proba-
bility do much to strengthen the rep
rehensible beliefs Of these men. Two
days after the interview above men.
toned, within fifteen minutes drive
from the scene of the second collision,
an express mail failed to take the
points, portion of the train with the
tender of the engine was violently
thrown across the rails and one poor
stoker killed. This is what the rail.
way men will term their third mis-.
hap" There's the third" they say;
and now perhaps they will breathe
freely for season.-London Tid-Bits
