Clay's outposts in the front and right
Action was then suspended FOR sone tine,
and finally Col Clay's fiIipg Lne emerged
from the woods and engaged the sKir-
InisheFs or the First regiment. The skr-
insshers were driven back toward their
reserve, and Col Clay turned their
left flank and fhed three yolleys, which
scored for him one po,nt in the contest
Subseq ueatly, the Second regiment
threw a skirmish line and three COM
panies in close column into the woods On
the left Of Col. Aiexanders position and
again turned his left and scored another
point The troops were then withdrawn
from the field, and the decision was
rendered. giving victory 10 the attack
ing party.
Capt Constantine Chase directed the
operations in the absence OF Gen. 0fdway,
and the uinpires were Capt. Slocum for
defensive and Capt. Heyl for the attack
ing party. Capt. Chase had as aids Capts-
Davidge and Browne, OF the staff Capt
Slocursi had with him Major Harries and
Can't. Riggs, and Capt. Heyl had as aid
Capt. Hudson.
Much comment was caused III camp by
the ease with which Col. Clay obtained
advantage by strategy, and a number Of
the officers of the First Regiment claim
that they did not even know OF the ex-
fstence Of rules governing the contest,
and were all thoTugh the fight waiting
for orders which never came. They hal
previously been instructed to hold their
fire until orders were received, and they
did so. A few deSultory shots were ex-
changed by the firing line with the enemy,
but the cartridges were nearly all taken
from the field with them
The Army Officers Were pleased with
the maneuvers, and the troops are undoubt-

A LITTLE HORSE
Sense and 1t Lands Home.

If man would give his fish-bred horse,
day after day, a concoction TO drink that
was certain detriment to digestion, and
that slowly poisoned the stomach, liver and
nerves he would be considered definite
fool by all knowers Some mems bodies
are worth as much as that Of good horse
In the isolated cases where this fact seems
clearly established. il would he the part
OF good, cool judgment and plain, every
DAY common sense TO give such a body as
fair treatment as one would to the horse
particularly when it is remembered that
with good physical body. kept in health
and strength, man can do things.
There is quite as great a contrast be-
tween the worth of a well man and sick
one as between a welhorse eandafoundered
old wreck, to say nothing of the 'feeln's s
of the eritter' in either case.
Blind to. the cause of his physical ails,
man land woman, too) persists, day after
day, in pouring into the protesting body a
liquid drug called coffee. known by all
chemists and physicians to contain the
same poisonous alkaloids as foundin in stryeh
mne, morphine, whisky and tobacco, and
to reGuire powerful constitution to with
stand. The weak ones sink under the In
sidioHs drug daily administered and sell

some ask.

quickest way to get up the hill Of health

After long line of experiments looking

THE Wool SCHEDULE.
Concessions Likely to Be Made to
the Western Men.

The Republican tariff steering COMMITTEES
heard several arguments at it's rooms IN
tie Arlington last evening. fayoring an an-
crease i n the duties on wool The Senators
who addressed the committee were For
aker. Mantle and Warren. They contended
for II and II cents a pound on first anu
second-class wools, the same as the House
rates. with . cents additional for skiTted
woods and double the dutyon washed woois
of the second Class as we'll as of the first
clsss, as now provided for. On third Class
waols the contention was for a duty or 8
cents pound on woods valued at less
than 10 cents a pound, and cents on
woods valued at more than 10 cents
pound; also triple duty on all classes
OF secured woods.
The committee reached no conclusion last
night, but the indicat' 'ons are that some
concessions will be made The wool men
felt last night that they would have the
House rates restored ON first and second
class woods and that the Senate amend
ment OF cents pound on wools valued
at less than 10 cents and cents above
the value of o cents would stand.

weighing II to 10 ounces stripped the
trees Of their foliage. smashed window
panes on every hand, including finest
plate glass store fronts, cut down tel

damage throughout the city. Dogs
were struck in the street and instantly
killed. Horses were knocked to their
knees TO rise again and dash away in
mad fright. Runaways occurred
of the storm had passed, dead birds
were found everywhere A heavy
wind and terrific lightning accompa-
MED the storm.
Topeka Thursday night looked like a
city that has withstood a siege of war
guns. There are not dozen build
ings in the town that are not almost
windowless, and many roofs were
caved in. The roofs of eight street
cars also were pierced. The damage
wrought can better be imag-
ined when it is known that the
hailstones ranged in size from
that of a hens egg to an ostrich egg,
and that 30 minutes after the storm
one hailstone was picked up which
measured IL inches in circumference.
Surgeons are busy dressing the wounds
of persons injured in the storm, and
reports of injuries continue to be re-
ceived. Many were hurt in runaways
