All Ready for the National Events

Track.

The twenty-mile bicycle race at

astic crowd Of 5000 people to the
boulevard. The race was a unique
one, the army of riders and the han
d1caps with which many of them
were saddled evening matters up be-
tween the 116 starters.
Burney Bird won the race, crossing
the tape a winner by ten feet. The
scorchers that quickly followed in
the order named named were Mer-
tens, Patterson, Becker, Biggs and
Hansen.
AS in all road races where handi-
caps obtain, nobody knew who had
won the race for a long time, but
the secretary finally announced Bird,
Mertens and Patterson as winners
of the time prizes, and Palm as win
ner of the first place prize. 1t was
also enormously announced that
Birds time beat the worlds record
for twenty miles. His actual time
was 54 minutes and IL seconds, nearly
four minutes slower than the record,
which is so minutes and 80 seconds.
The scores were not finished until
s o'clock. The judges were Col John

Camping out is a performance in

bills that it is not a social diversion, but
a financial drawback to camp too near
the. city: A camp draws visitors, as
pink hollyhocks attract bees, and Il
full larder is required to supply the
demand for entertainment. In a jolly
camp not ten miles from Louisville the
other morning a crowd of pretty young
hostesses i'll tea-gowns were clustered
under the trees talking over the good
times they had, and shuddering over
the expense accounts.

Mrs. Jones-Graham's equipage came

ROUTED BY CAVALRY.
Novel Way to Break Up a Mill
Used at LeavennvOrth, Kan.

LEAVENWORTH,K Kan, Aug 12-
Prize fighting has its drawbacks in
Kansas as well as the crops and the
rainy season. This was proved yester-
day afternoon when the proposed mill
between George Stout, of Omaha, and
Mike Cassano, of the Sixth infantry
stripped to the waists preparatory to
entering the ring.
Both men are clever middle weights
and have good records. The fight was
to take place on the Fort Leavenworth
reservation. The men had just entered
the roped arena and were on the point
of engaging in battle when the sound
Of many horses feet was heard in the
distance. A moment later Col. HaW-
kins, at the head of a troop of cavalry,
came in view making straight for the
astonished principals.
For a moment the fighters and spec
tators stood motionless, apparently
dumbfounded. Suddenly, os one man,
the entire gathering broke for the tall
timber and scattered in all directions.
Some of the admirers of the manly
art broke for the corn fields, while
others hit the high knollS to the south
in their mad scramble to escape.
Stout and his seconds made for the
Missouri river, into which they boldly
plunged and swan to the other side.
Cassano, the soldier-fighter, and
dozen of his brothers in arms were ar
rested by Col. Hawkins.
Courts martial will probably be held.
The sheriff also took a hand in the
affair, and chased the fighters and
spectators around the reservation for
an hour.

very suddenly, and lay there con-

heels made a new kind of flag, and
he was not slow to act on the sug-

again the antelopes stopped to gaze

SMART CAT.
A Hospital Feline That Should
Have n Diploma.

nave IL DlpfOIhAs
San Francisco Examiner.
Long association with dope f1ends,
itinerant lunatics and hysterical fe-
males who infest the city receiving
hospital has warped that lofty ideal
of the truth, and nothing but the
truth, for which Assistant Surgeon w.
L. Berry was once famous. AT least
the doctor tells story which reflects
on his veracity, but at the same time
exploits the humble feline as the braini-
est of her species.
There is at present inhabiting the
hospital a cat with a litter of small
kittens. The family occupy corner
at the lower end of the padded-cell
corridor where the infantile felines led
an uneventful life until yesterday af-
ternoon. For weeks the mother lis
tened to the frenZied wall of the men,
tally insolvent, but according to Berry
her intellect remained unimpaired.
Owing to the breaking Of drain pipe
at the lower end of the corridor the
floor was literally sprinllled with
chloride of lime, an exotic that is not
rare in hospitals. One of the kittens,
while playing about after the manner
of it's kind, rolled into the disinfectant
and got its coat filled with the lime.
''After cutting the ears of the off
spring. said Berry 1.-The mother
undertook to make the toilet of the lit
tie one, but acquired a taste in her
mouth that came near causing nervous
prostration. Tears of surprise and re-
gret stood in the eyes of the wretched
parent as she gazed suspiciously at
the kitten. Once 1 thought she was
going to faint, but she is not that kind
of a cat. Instead of making fuss the
mother nosed the patient until she
found spot free from lime. Then she
took the kitten in her teeth, carried it
along the corridor to the hospital
proper and laid it on the operating
table with it's feet in the air. May
get reappointed if 1 ever saw any
thing like it.
without doubt that old cat had con-
fidence in the police surgeons and
knew what we were there for. She
sat on the leather pillow, locking first
at the kitten and then at the instru-
ment case, until / broke down and
gave the kitten a bath in the sink.
During the operation the mother
purred in a satisfied sort of way, and
when 1 had finished she took her baby
by the nape of the neck, gave it
couple of shakes and trotted back to
her home in the corridor. Cats may
not have nine lives, but they show
more sense than some people,"

years old. He was the son of William
Thompson, of Gatelawbridge Quarries,

obtained his early education, as so
many eminent Scotchmen have done,
in the parish school of his native place,
from which he went to the University

displayed, led him to enter the science

MONSTER SNAKE,
With u Body n Big Around as a
Water Pail.

With u Body n Big Around as a
Water Pail.
Cold Springs Cor. New York Recorder.
The people of this neighborhood are
very much alarmed over the fact that a
monster snake has been at large on the
outskirts of the town for number of
days, and it is feared that somebody
will be attacked by the serpent before
1t is killed or captured.
The monster was first seen about
three weeks ago by Justice Veltor
Since then it has been seen at intervals
by /. w. Valentine, superintendent of
the Baptist Union Sunday school, and
by DR., Oliver Jones. The latter chased
the snake into the woods in an effort
to capture it, but was unsuccessful.
All agreed that the snake is about
fourteen feet in length, with body as
big around as pail. Its head is dia-
mond-shaped, and the top is surmount-
ed by a crest that is shaped like a
crown.
Some time ago Dr. Wood, a resident
of this place. died, but before his death
he liberated number of large snakes
which he held captive. The snake

SPLENDID ENDORSEMENT BY
LEADING NEWSPAPERS.
The Press of the Country Speak of
His New Preparation, Eos
(EIiXir of Soap, in
Glowing Terms.
The Omaha Bee Saws.

The large number of testimonials GOT
ten by our reporters, and the great
number of prominent people that have
voluntarily come into the Bee office
and spoken in glowing terms of Kinks
new discovery, Eos, proves conclusive
~ the value it possesses. We ex-
tend to Messrs. Jas. S. Kirk & CO.
our hearty congratulations.
Kansas City journal Saws:
The enormous sale in Kansas CITY
Tor Kinks new discovery, Eos. for
doing general laundry work in the
snort length of time since it was first
introduced here stamps it as a prepa-
ration of great merit.
Kansas City Star on May Sth Said:
No amount of advertising could pos
s1bly have created in the short length
OF time the extensive sale there is in
Kansas City for Kinks Eos did it
not possess the virtues claimed for it.
From the Des Holmes Register:
We were reluctant at first when it
was proposed to us to give out =am-
pies of Kinks new preparation, Eos.
as the Register had never undertaken
such a thing before We are. how
number of people who speak of it in
glowing terms fully pays US for the
part we have taken in it's introduction
in Des Moines.
From the st. Joe Herald:
Kinks assertion that he would re-
duce the cost and labor of washing
clothes 80 per cent in st. Joe by the
use of his new washing compound. Eos.
would seem to have proven true if we
are to believe what people say about
it.
From the Rocky Mountain News:
If the sale for Kinks new discovery,
EOS, continues to grow in the future
at the same rate it has the past two
weeks what is going to become of all
the soap factories? Eos seems to have
the call, and is apparently selling on
its merits.
Denver Republican:
Kinks Eos seems to have taken the
city by storm. The retail grocery trade
report enormous sales for it.
On July 7th the New York Press
Said:
For years the Kinks have had an
expert chemist, one of the first in
America, at work upon the problem of
perfect washing compound. They
have recently succeeded in completing
it, and the public will now have the
results of the discovery. 1t was to
have been called Rain Water Maker
but as it not only softens the water
but is also a perfect soap, combining
for the first time in the world these
two qualities, it is known as Eos. The
connection is evident-Eos lthe SUM
could be no brighter than this sub
stance makes whatever it touches; and
as the rays of the sun give life to all
on earth, so will this newly found ar
ticle for the laundry work give health
to the skin and rejuvenate all it comes
in contact with.
Eos elixir of Soap can be had Of
all grocers-a large package for cents.
Try it once and you will never be
without it.
