NEW CURE FOR sIyBURN.

The cry from sunburned women which
rises annually from every seashore.
country and moutain resort in the land
has this year met with a new response.
Pasty lotions of more or less harmless
properties are no longer advocated as
a cure for sunburn. Compilations which
have been given a crimson tinge by too
long exposure to summer suns now find
their speediest cure in a veal outlet
The veal cure" as it is called, has
leaped into popularity which indicates
that it is more than ordinarily potent.
Butchers at the summer watering
places have ceased to wonder at the
loud demand for veal. They know that
when the summer girl returns from her
bath, walk or drive, her first thought
is for the veal outlet that shall pre-
serve the delicacy of her complexion.
The proper procedure is to have the
cutlests shaved into thin slices. These
raw slices must then be carefully laid
all over the face, and lightly kept in
place by passing narrow tape or ribbon
over them. The result is not becoming,
but that is unimportant. The victim
then retires to a perfectly darkened

NINE LIVES LOST.
RESULTS OF THE RECENT FLOODS
IN KENTUCKY.
Many Bridges Were Washed Away
and Hundreds of Acres of Crops
Ruined-There Were Many Mar
row Escapes.

FRANKFORT, KY, July 21.-Nine
lives were lost as the result of last
nights food, so far as heard from. The
dead are:
James Bradley, wife and four chill
dren.
Mrs. Bryant, a widow and two chill
dren.
They lived on fiat along Benson
creek which rose SO rapidly that the
house was washed away before the oc-
cuDants knew Of their danger. Traffic
on both the Louisville, Cincinnati &
Lexington and Short Line divisions of
the Louisville & Nashville was sus-
pended.
A half dozen or more country bridges
have been washed away. The most
valuable was the one recently con-
structed over Benson creek, at a cost
of $4,000. Hundreds of acres of crops
are totally ruined and it is impossible
to even approximate the damage.
Many people living in Benson valley
left their houses and waded out
through the mad waters, only escap-
ing few minutes before the buildings
were swept away.
The destruction of property in many
parts of Franklin county is complete.
The damage is estimated at 100000 at
the lowest figure and is probably a
great deal more.

OPENED A WATERMELON.

LINCOLN, Neb.. July 21.-The press
representatives in Lincoln were agree
ably entertained today by Mrs Bryan
in the discussion of forty-seven pound
watermelon from Georgia, a present
from William Mitchell, of the Balti-
more & Ohio road at Atlanta Ga, the
counterpart of one sent to Major Nc
Kinley. Mr.. Mitchell issued a circu-
lar TO the growers of Georgia and Sc
lected the largest two melons that
could be found. The one that came
this way was shipped in a great will
low wash basket, harnessed with silver
and nestled in a couch of fine shavings,
flecked with silver tinsel Upon the
Stats across the top of the basket were
greetings from the various states
through which the melon has passed,
pledging them to Bryan.
At o'clock tonight Mr. Bryan left
in special train over the Burlington

stration has been planned in recogni-
ton of his nomination. Tomorrow he
will visit Council Bluffs where a SINH
lar honor awaits him. He will return
to Lincoln at p. m. tomorrow.

CONTEST ON TIE LAKES
"vencedor'' Against "Canadn"-Tvhe
Race Between the Canadian and
American Yachts on Lake Erie
in August Will Be the Nautical
Event of the Season.

Eighty odd years ago old Lake Erie
witnessed contest between American
and British ships, and the fight, though
brief. made history very rapidly. This
season will see another fight for suprem-
acy on the same waters, and although it
will be waged by the descendants, to
speak broadly, of the contestants earlier
in the century, no powder will be burned
except for saluting purposes, and the con-
test will be one of seamanship only.
Early this year the Lincoln Park Yacht
club of Chicago, filed with patriotic en-
thusiasn, issued a challenge to the
yachtsmen OF Canada The challenge
was couched in the usual phrases, and
only stipulated that the race should be
sailed in neutral waters. The Royal Ca
madam Yacht club of Toronto decided to
accept and defend for Canada. This club
is one of the best known on fresh waters,
and is probably the best representative
organization of Corinthians on the
Canadian side of the great lakes. The
club resolved to ne best boat that
could be had for the purpose, and ].
Fife, jr., of Faile, Scotland, was com
missioned to design the new boat, and
personally superintend the construction
of her frames

CASTLE GATE CHIPS.

CASTLE GATE, July 20, 1S96.-One of
the most interesting as well as anus
ing trials took place here on Friday
night, the case being one of scandal, be-
tween Eugene Santschie, plaintiff, and
Louis Allant and wife, defendants.
Damages to the amount of 1890 being
claimed. S. R. King, of Provo, and
Wiley L. Brown, of Salt Lake city,
were the lawyers employed on the case,
a jury of four good men and true
were called in to give their decision on
the result of the evidence adduced, and
it was racy enough, sure. The parties
were foreigners and the witnesses were
natives of all Europe, two interpreters
had to be sworn to make the evidence
intellisible to the jury. 1t was near
midnight when the jury was en-
paneled, and then the legal fight COM
menced, in which the judge came in Tor
a good share After the atmosphere
was cleared from the sulphuric taste
caused by the evidence, the case was
put into the hands of the jury, at about
2:40 a. M, who brought in a. verdict of
guilty as charged in the indictment,
with damages to the amount of 1925,
not including costs. The case will be
appealed. as it ought to be.

Charles NJ Rolker is the name OF
the English mining expert who has
been in the country for some time
looking at the DeLamar gold proper
ties, in Nevada. in the interest OF
syndicate OF London capitalists. He
has been at the Knutsford, in this city,
for two days past, but will leave this
morning.
Speaking to a reporter for this pa
ger last evening, Mr.. Rolker said that
the deal which has been pending for
some time. would not be contaminated.
All negotia tions are off. For what rea-
son he was not at liberty to speak, but
he admitted that from his examination
of the mines that they were good ones:
far beyond what they are represented
in the common parlance of the mining
fraternity Beyond this Mr.. Rolker did
not care to make any statements.
You can say that the deal is on
he remarked Finally and conclusive
~ Outside of that general assertion l
do not care to make any statement
and in fact will not. 1 am going to
leave your city in the morning, much
gratified with my stay here.
Thus closes the story of what would
have been one OF the biggest deals IN
the west. The De Lamar properties
were placed at 100000 by the owner,
but the people who wanted to buy did
not think they could afford TO pay that
sum. 1t has been stated in several
papers of this section that the deal had
been closed and much comment has
been INDUCED in over the matter Cap
tain De Lamar, however, is indepen-
dent, and does not care to sell unless
he gets his price, and would make no
concessions.

HE WAS BUNCOED.
The Ancient Paddock Game Worked
on an Italian.


An Italian with a long name and who
says he came down from Montana to look
at some mining property here and in
Colorado, was buncoed out of $40 on the
old lock game.
The man from sunny Italy was taking
in the sights of the city yesterday morn
ing just after stepping from the train
when he CHANGED to meet an Individual
who was also a stranger. There sprung
up sufficient acquaintance between the two
to bring about an agreement whereby
The bunco man, for such he was, steered
the Italian up on Capitol hill and there
they met another party. But just before
this meeting bunco man No. 1 found a
little paddock. He opened it and so did
the Italian. When bunco man No. came
up the former showed him the lock and
asked him if he could open it. No. 2
wanted to bet at once that it could not be
done, but the Italian advised him not to,
knowing that it could be opened. That
did not matter. the stranger wanted to
bet anyway, and pulled out roll of bills
But No. l said he had no money and asked
the Italian to lend him $50.
''Wny, certainly, and you will lose your
money, too said the mining man to No.
as he handed No. the money
But he was mistaken. Before he knew
what had happened the lock was opened,
the money lost and the men disappeared.
Shortly after one of the men was ar
rested, taken before Judge Wenger, plead
ed guilty to gambling, sentence suspended
for twenty-four hours, and of course the

other fellow is out the $50

OUR LIGHTHOUSE SYSTEM.

we Are the Only Nation Which At
tempts to Be Thorough.
The United States is the only nation
which makes an attempt to line its an
tire shores with lighthouses or signals,
the idea being here to place those suf-
dciently close together to permit of
coastwise navigation in any weather
The system is not yet quite complete,
but it is exceedingly well advanced
During clear weather the lights of the
houses are effective being as a rule
hidden only by the curvature of the
earth, but since fogs can kide even the
sun from us, there are times when the
lights cannot be seen, and for such oc-
casions the lighthouses are provided
with some kind of a noise-making ap-
paratus, which is quite as important
as that of the light itself Horns, bells
and sirens are used at these stations
as the common devices, and these are
supplemented by floating bells and
whistling devices, the former of which
give warning on close approach, while
the latter are some of them almost rs
powerful in their tones as the shore
signals.
Recent experiments by Major W. r.
Livermore have had in view the testing
OF the eIHclency OF the Inherent xmas
of warning signals, and how they are
affected by different conditions of the
air Major Livernore has been able to
predict the nature of the disturbance
which a certain direction of wind will
have upon the signals, and has ex-
planned the reason for the so-caHed ST
lent areas, within which no sound cam
be heard from the signals, although
they may be easily audible at greater
distances from the lighthOuse.-Happy
Thought.

SEALS STRANGLED by LOBSTER
POT HOOPS.

Seals are to fish and Holsters what
hawks are to mice and snakes. Some
times seals. young ones especially, get
into trouble because of their amateur
attempts at capturing food
Gameland tells a story in which the
follies of seal youth were paid for in
the days of maturity. A S. Agnes of
Pulpit Harbor Me, found two dead
seals about whose necks were lobster
pot funnel hoops so tightly fastened
that the animals had been choked to
death by them. When the seals were
small and inexperienced they had come
across lobster pots in which were lob
sters, and in trying to get at them had
got the hoops fast about their necks.
AT last the necks had grown so large
that the seals were strangled-Ne

MINING EXCHANGE.
Meeting Held Yesterday Afternoon
and New Rules Adopted.

Meeting Held Yesterday Afternoon
and New Rules Adopted.
There was a good attendance at the
meeting of the mining exchange yester-
day afternoon, when Chairman Wool
ley. Of the committee appointed to re-
wise the laws and rules of the asso-
citation made his report. Everything
which was reported was adopted with
out change, except the rate of commits
sion, which was altered in few re-
spects. The changes in the government
of the exchange are as follows: The
governing board has been reduced from
eleven members to five. This action
was taken in order that a quorum
might be easily obtained. The listing
committee has been reduced and the
committee Of arrangements abolished.
All members of committees now ex-
listing have been required to resign
and until the annual election, the chair
man Of the exchange viii appoint such
persons as he deems fitted for the place.
Action was taken on the resignation
of President Donnellan. 1t was unani-
mously agreed that his declination
would be a loss 20 the association and
that a commit &c should be appointed
to ask him to reconsider Herman
Hill, F. J. Stark, Dr. Woodruff, c. E.
Hudson and L. z. Crooks were ap-
pointed as a committee to cali on the
colonel and request him, for the sake
OF The association, 10 reconsider This
committee viii make its visit today
and an answer is expected immediate
". II was agreed among other mat
ters relative to the government Of the
exchange that the secretary should not
be a broker, nor engaged in the dis
poSal of stocks. IT was also agreed
that in future the treasurer should give
a bond in the sum Of $1,000 This latter
action is the outcome of the Bacon
failure. The rule relating to the ID
mission of new members was also
cha nged. Under the old system five
blackballs could reject a man. In future
every applicant will be voted on and
majority can elect or reject. The
initiation fee viii be sos and the name
of the applicant will be posted five
days instead of ten.
But by far the most important action
whsch was taken, was the changing Of
the rules governing commissions. In
future all commissions Widl be gov
erned by the following: On all stocks
OF the value of cents and under the
commission viii be s1.50 per thousand
shares. From cents to 10 cents. 81

there will be no more cent bidding

stocks under 81 per share the fluctu-
atoms viii be according to the tenor of
