ASBURY PARK BATHERS.
Will Not Be Permitted on the Streets
in Beach Costumes

Asbury Park. N. J., Aug. 2o.-By a
vote of the council last night bathing
suits can no longer be worn in the
streets. The decision was not reached
till after spirited debate, in which the
bathers were defended from Mayor
Bradley's attacks. Afterward the may
or thus elucidated his own belief:
Occasionally she said, "a well round
3D. symmetrical ankle and a calf are
shown, but the charm of half conceal
ing, half disclosing is lost on the on
locker, and instead of the exclamation
of 'CharmingI' 'Charming!' the words
'beefy,' 'beefy,' will involuntarily spring
to the lips. What shall we say of the
men with skinny and shrunken shanks?
when it comes to thing of beauty
and a joy forever, the pudgy woman in
a BATH G suit going through the streets
is not in it, Let everything be done
decently and in order, properly regula-
ted to a bath house and beach"

WIRES GO UNDERGROUND.
st. Louis Companies Slowly Remov-
ing Overhead Wires.

ST. Louis, Aug. 20.-The laying of
their new cables in the conduits on
Olive street by the Bell Telephone COM
pany has aroused fresh interest in the
public mind in the question of how long
strung in a perfect network on poles in
the business district of ST. Louis will
disappear. For several months past
squads of workmen have been busy
tearing up the streets and laying the
conduitS for the ca bleS of the different
companies, but so far there has been
no visible decrease in the number of
overhead wires.
General Manager George F. Durrant
of the Bell Telephone company said yes
terday: I'VE are pushing the work as
rapidly as possible, but the Bell Tele-
phone company'S new underground
wires will not probably. be ready for
use until June 1, 1898. BY June 80,
1898, I expect all of our overhead wires
in the business district will be down
and out of the way. All of the over
head wires in the business district will
have to be out of the way by December
81, 1898, which is the limit allowed by
ordinance. That is, all except the
wires of the telegraph companies. un-
Marshall. advised the board of public
improvements, that the telegraph COM
panies, not having complied with the
requirements of the ordinance, could
not take advantage of the ordinance to
put their wires underground The
greatest number of wires, however, by
far in the business district are those of
the Bell Telephone company, which will
be down by June 80, 1882

BATHING SUIT RULED OUT.
Baltimore Society Man in Trouble at

Narragansett Pier, r.. l.. Aug. 20
Chief of Police Champlin today ruled

Mrs. J. Van Voast of Cincinnati, wife

HAS KLONDIKE GOLD.
@. M. Nettleton of Seattle, Visits
Chicago and Talks of the Gold
Fields,

Chicago, Aug. 20.-C. NJ. Nettleton of

st believe" said Mr.. Nettleton, that
without question $50 000, 900 of the yell
low metal will be taken from Alaska
next year, and it is confidently belleV-
ed that the steamer Portland, which IS
due to arrive in Seattle August 70, Will
bring SO, 600 900 in nuggets and dust
Zone peculiar thing Is that the MIN
ers upon landing seldom are willing TO
cess. Nearly all of them expect to re-
turn, and for this reason do not give
the facts as to the amount of gold they
have in their possession. l asked one
miner how much gold he had secured
He replied that he had three or four
thousand dollars, when the truth was
he had about $4,000 worth with him
Their idea seems to be that if they I'M
derestimate the amount of gold they
have found it will have tendency to
keep other people out.
t'Only about 40 square miles of terri
tory have been thoroughly proSpected,
whereas there are hundreds of square
miles of territory which it is believed
contain gold in large quantities. me
surroundings are the same as those OF
the ground which has been gone over,
and the conditions are same. Never
theless, people should not attempt to go
to the gold fields this season, but should
postpone their trip until next spring,
when conditions will be more favorable
to travel and prospecting.

en- other counties had from 500 to L.
600 acres.
Although alfalfa was growing in all
the counties of the state except Atch-
ison, Johnson and Miami, the principal
acreage was in the east central portion
and along the Arkansas river. This

MONEY IN SMALL THINGS.
Products of Kansas Cows and Fowls
Last Year Amounted to $0,O1o,273.

The assessors. returns to her state
board of agriculture Indicate clearly
that the cows and hens of Kansas have
not wearied in well doing during the
past year. OF butter made in families
and factories the aggregate reported is
81, 211,97 pounds, being an increase of
2,204, $40 pounds over the previous years
product. The output of cheese however
is $4,000 pounds less than one year ago,
or 1.043, 500 pounds in all, the milk
doubtless having been diverted to but
ter making. Milk sold for other pur-
poses than cheese and butter amounts
to $3.50, 465. At the valuations of the
preceding year the total amount to be
credited to the years butter, cheese
and milk account is So, Jos, 1881, an in
crease of $136, 1856.
A growing interest in poultry is found
in all parts of the state and the value
of fowls and their products sold (ex-
elusive of home consumption reveals
an increase of $300,077, or a total of
$3,909,892. Jewell is the foremost coun-

Added together the years product
from the Kansas cows and fowls

the used appropriations made by the
legislature for that year, and still leave

MAD STEER RUNS THECAMP
Bicyclists at Winnetka Flee From the
Four-Footed Invader.

Chicago, Aug 20.-Tearing wildly
hither and thither about Camp Harri-
son, the cyclists retreat at Winnetka,a
belligerent steer struck terror into the
hearts of at least 200 sojourners late
yesterday afternoon. Before it had
| ceased it's run and had been captured
by it's owner, Paul Philips, it had caus-
ed stampede, demolished one of the
tents upon the bluff and played general
havoc among the camp accoutrementS.
For half an hour the beast, escaped
from a nearby farm yard, was king
of the encampment. 1t started when the
| wheelnen just before dinner time, were
| lounging 1azily about the greensward
and idling along the edge of the cliff.
| simultaneously, one and all, at the en-
| tree of the animal, scurried peH NELL
| down the bluff toward the lake shore,
| tumbled helter-skelter over fences into
bordering forest clumps. or sought safe
! ly in the shelter of tents, out of the err
| ratio course which the steer pursued.
Massive United States flags are sus-
pended just in front of Camp Harrison.
] Once catching sight of the red portions
| of the enblemS, the steer became doub-
| ly wild. With an insane toss OF It's
! head and an ominous snort, 1t kept on
| its pace quickened and it's movements
seeming to betoken i'll.
| Barely had the animal crossed the
| camp confines than an immense can
vas. covering doomed up before it. I'm
/ daunfed, it rushed ahead, and sought to
! pillow its way through the obstacle, but
| the tent faSteningS were too secure TO
| permit of damage.
BY this time the cry of wild steer
| had been raised throughout the camp.
| Leaving their wheels to their fate, eye
| lists, both men and women, inside the
| tents, riSked a single glance at the
| cause of the disturbance, and then
| sought to protect themselves from in

| franetic disorder. Over fences they
scampered. into neighboring ravines-
| anywhere to escape impending danger.

! bucked three or four of the larger tents
| but they were too much for it. Then it
| bore away across the field toward a lit

| men. Ferociously it attacked the struc-
| ture. It's plunge was not to be resist

| the tent toppled over.
| Then the beast Veered off toward the
| refreShment stand. 1t struck this in
| front, with terrific force, knocked it
| over while peanuts flew about and
| dishes crashed. Still game for greater
! deeds. the steer headed for the bluff,
| but it seemed bit awed at the pre-
| cipitOus incline, and, turning about, be-

| Finally Policemen Haywood and
| Moulton lassoed the animal and let it
| become tangled up in a mess of ropes
