RAINS COME TOO LATE.
STOCK IN WESTERN NERRAsNA
LITERALLY STARVING.
Hay and Corn Crops DESTROYED
by Hot Winds-Settlers
Destitute.

OMAHA, Aug. 17.-Not in a month
has 80 much rain fallen along the line
of the Burlington and Union Pacific as
that OF last night, in some cases soaking
showers being reported, while in others
it was steady downpour for several
hours. While the rain comes too late
for corn, it will help grass considerably.
and that is most needed by the farmers
In the drought-Striken districts of the
state.
As result Of the exceedingly dry
weather in South Dakota sections, the
Burlington has reduced the late on
grain from Omaha to interior points
affected by the drought, for the purpose
Of giving farmers who are hard hit by
hot winds chance to buy grain to feed
their stock, thus being permitte to tide
over present conditions. The Union
Pacific will follow the Burlington, and
will make the same rates TO common
points as the Burlington.
The stories of distress being received
by the railroads are touching, one man
having killed thirty five head of horses
on tuesday near North Platte rather
than allow them to starve.
There are numberless cases of the
KIND reported, farmers being unable to
give stock away because of the inabil-
lty OF people to care for them properly
after receiving them. The rain, how
ever, Of last night, which was pretty
general throughout the western and
southern portions of Nebraska, may
assist materially in checking the wide
spread deSolatiou of ruined crops, and
therefore ruined homes.

SAMPSON INVINCIBLE.
| Overcomes Handicaps and Defeats
Estes,

1t Is an assured fact. evidently, that
any game Sampson is scheduled to play
in he is sure to be winner. 1t was as
true as usual last night. when he and
Estes met in the Foley billiard tourna-
ment. Sampson played his favorite
game of fOurteen.inch balk line and
Estes the straight rail- game. His high-
est run was 40. His other double figures
were %. 25, II, 10, 13, 80, II. % and 2S.
His average was 15-41. Estes doubled
his hgures three tlmes-14, 13, IA. His
credited average was 6 LILO. Sampson
played unique game. His first double
was made in the sixth inning and his
next in the eighth.a being sandwiched
in between. He made eight more low
innings before he struck another
double. Then he failed to score, but
came back at his opponent with 10 in
the next inning. For two more innings
he took matters very easy. then he made
13. followed by 0 for a sandwich sue
ceeded by 80: then he made single
point, which was but the precursor to
his run of 40. Eight ciphers and fifteen
points was the record for the next eleven
innings. Then it was that Sampson
buckled down to a hot finish, making
II, followed by 8, and winding up with
two runs of % each. AT the finish the
score stood: Sampson, 800: Estes, pa.

WAS 1T A FROST?
Various Stories in Regard TO the
st. Paul Meeting.


st. Paul Meeting.
CHICAGO. Aug. 17.-The Times today
has the following: Col. l.. P. Tarleton,
who filled the position of presiding
judge at the Twin City Jockey club
meeting, returned to Chicago yesterday,
together with Sam G. Morton, patrol
judge. and other employees. horse own
efs aud followers of the game. The
meeting was dire frost. Frank Shaw,
or rather his hackers. lost SIS, 1000 over
it. 1t had no chance from the start, but
the sanguine Shaw expected that the
revenue from the foreign book would
pull it out.
Il have attended many bush meet
ing In my time" said all owner yester-
day, "but never saw such travesty
on racing as the Twin City meeting
was. 1t got 80 toward the last that
there was job in every race. 1t was
as plain as the nose on your face, but
the judges seemed pOwerleSS to prevent
1t or punish the WrOng-dOerS. Any self
respecting judge who was not welded
to the salary he was getting or hoped to
get would have quilted the stand in dis
gust. The meeting could not help being
failure. ST. Paul needs race meet
ing about as badly as an Arctic explorer
needs an Ice cream freezef."
r The Herald has this: Persons at the
Harlem track yesterday from st. Paul
declared that the forty-day meeting OF
the jockey club at that place had cost
the hackers of Frank Shaw $4,000 in
stead of resulting IN profit of $4,000.
as was announced by telegraph from
that city. Shaw has now long string
of hackers who have gained expensive
experience.
The Inter Ocean talks thus:
Judge l.. P. Tarleton. fresh from his
duties as presiding judge at the st. Paul
meeting, just closed, was an interested
visitor TO Harlem yesterday. The
judge reports that his meeting was a
good one, financially and otherwise.
Judge Tarleton spent the day trying to
pick winner and attempting to get
some one to go down to Kentucky to
help him drink some "buttermilk."

SLAUGHTERED THE RECORD,
Reducing the Time Liverpool
to New York Three Hours
Eighteen Minutes.
5 DAYS 9 HOURS 29 MINUTES
Remarkable Run Of 594 Knots
Made in the Past Twenty
Four Hours.


New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Cunard
line steamer Campania which arrived
this evening from Liverpool ana
Queenstown left Daunts Rock at 12:45
p. nj. on Aug. IL and arrived at Sandy
Hook at 5:45 this evening. Her time of
passage was five days. nine hours and
twenty-niue minutes. which beats all
previous records by about three hours
and eighteen minutes.
The Campania had just previous to
sailing been in dry dock and was in
prime condition for making a fast run.
On crossing the banks on the 10th much
fog was encountered and it was neces-
sary to run at reduced speed.
In the last twenty-four hours of the
trip the steamer made the good run of
594 knots. The Campania's daily runs
runs were SIG. 52s. 54S. 525, 545 aud 126.
Her best previous record was five days
thirteen hours and twenty-three min
utes. The Lucania has held the best
western record between Queenstown
and New York since Nov. 8 last, when
she made the voyage in five days twelve
hours and forty-seven minutes.

TERRE HAUTE. Ind. Aug. 17.-Three
new worlds records fly tonight at the
masthead over the Terre Haute track.
The Baron Wilkes two-year-old colt
Oakland Baron went the second heat in
the 2:5O trot in 2:16, thus lowering the
worlds record made by Boreal Monday
one and quarter seconds. He had to
fight for it with the good colt AXworthy,
by Axtell, the latter finishing but head
behind. In the free-foI ALI trot mark
was hung up that is likely to be shot
at for many a long day. The track
was just right. and it was an ideal rae
ing day, not breath of air stirring.
PiXley was a bad actor, and it took a
dozen scores to get the field away,
Ryland L two lengths back. The Idaho
gelding trailed to the half, when Stew
art began to drive for the mare. He had
laid back too long, but even as it was
the gelding of uncertain breeding did
the last half in 1:0l4. Sweet Little
Alix finished we'll within herself in
2:06, the third quarter being done at a
two-minute clip. Ryland was a good
second choice in the second heat, some
thinking he was in form to do mile in
2:05 or better. Again he got away be-
hind, but went out to do battle
from the half. going the third quarter
in twenty-nine seconds. With all that
he could not reach the mare,
and she finished just as strong as before
in 2:O64. Distance was waived in the
last heat, Monroe Salisbury instructing
Mcdowell to drive AliX her best clip.
This time Ryland T went to bad
break. and there was nothing to brush
the mare in her supreme effort. She
went on her courage and was sat the
half in 1908 the last half being done in
one minute and three-quarters of
second. 1t was the fastest mile ever
gone in a race and away below the rec
ord for a third heat. The average for
the three heats-2:O5 5-6-is far below
that ever gone heretofore in either
pacing or trotIing race.
The first and last events on the card
were the sensations. the 2:12 pace, 2:l5
pace and 2:15 trot paling into lnsignifi-
canoe beside the other performances,
although the trot witnessed another
downfall for the much-touted Azote.
Monroe Salisbury will have Alix start
here during the races here next month
to beat the record held by Nancy
Hanks.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. 17.-The

the free-for-all pace. Will Kerr acted
badly, and was distanced in the first
heat. Hal Braden, the favolite lowered
his record three-quarters of a second

money, leaving Mascot and GUY to fight
