traction.
Visitors to the exposition at Omaha will
have a new sensation 1t will be some
thing like going around with the Ferris
wheel, but even more thrilling. The new
thriller" will be in the shape of an enor-
nous umbrella.
The mammoth structure will stand on a
bluff at the head of the plaisance, or mid
way, facing the Missouri river. This bluff
rises 22j feet above the river, and when
the arms of the umbrella are extended the
passengers in the cars will be 575 feet
above the Missouri Inside of the incos-
ure on top of the bluff will be a palm gar
den, the ground space occupied being 300
feet square. The vertical standard of the
umbrella will be $50 feet high, made of
steel and iron and anchored in stone
foundation 80 feet deep and 70 feet square
1t will be 40 feet in diameter and 1876
feet in circumference. On the sides of the
standard, running from the bottom up, will
be 40 rails, forming 10 tracks for the lower
platform to move up and down. On this
platform another platform is to revolve,
the latter platform holding the standard
which supports Lue dTIlS OF Ule umbrella,
The arms are to be $50 feet in length, at
the extremities of which the cars are to be
suspended. From the outer end of the
arms cables will reach to the top of the
standard, connected there with counter
weights which travel up and down on the
inside of the standard. The cars will be
constructed on the same principle as those
of the Ferris wheel, built of iron end stee
and will hold 40 passengers each. There
| will be 16 of these cars. The lower plat
form will also be used for passengers, hav
ing carrying capacity of about 200. The
platform will rise to the height of 240 feet
! The whole machine will be operated by
electricity. Each car will be lighted will
different colored electric lights and on tol
of the standard will be a search light, which
the exposition company will provide. Tn,
umbrella will make three trips an hour.

Rnck from the Crave

We cannot come, but can often stay our
progress thither, Disease, like everything else
must have a beginning. All chronic malades
tend to shorten life. and render it a species of
marty rdom while they last. Malaria, kidney
complaint, chronic indigestion, rheumatism-al
have small beginnings, and may be stayed at the
outset with Hostetters Stomach Bitters, This
excellent tonic and Alternative is adapted alike TO
the prevention of disorders of the system and to
their removal, and its early use cannot be too
strongly advocated. To renew appetite and in
sure tranquil rest, there is surer and pleasant
er means than the Bitters. The effects of over
work and exhaustion, mental or physical, are
counteracted by il, and the busy merchant, the
tired clerk or operative, and the brain weary
student, author or newspaper men derive from il
present relief and future energy.

MISCELLANY.
The origin Of Flowers.

The Origin of Flowers.
rnere were no roses till the first child died.
No volets, no balmy breath heartsease,
No heotrope, nor buds so dear to bees
No honey hearted woodbine, no gold-eyed
And white asht daisy flower, nor stretching wide,
Glover and cowspcups like rival seas,
Meeting and parting, as the young spring
breeze
Runs giddy races playing seek and hide;
For all flowers died when Eve left Paradise,
And all the world was powerless awhile,
Until little child was laid in earth.
Then from its grave grew vioets for its eyes,
And from its lips rose petals for its smile,
And so all flowers from that childs death took
birth.

Wealthy Glass Usually Wrong.

Bryce, in his American Common
wealth states the following deductions
from observed facts page 252):
Nearly all great political and social
cause have made their way first
among the middle or humber classes
The original impulse which has set
the cause in motion, the inspiring
ideas that have drawn men to il. have
come from lofty and piercing minds,
and minds generally belonging to the
cultivated class. But the principles
and precepts these minds have deliy-
cred have waxed strong because the
common people received them gladly.
while the wealthy and educated
classes have frowned on or prosecuted
them. The most striking instance of
all is to be found in the early history
of Christianity.
And again he says: ''The chief DIFF
ference between the so-called upper, or
wAllthier, and the humber strata Of
society is, that the former are less in
1uenced by notions, often of
their w interest. Having something
to lose, they imagine dangers to their
property or their class ascendency,
Moving in a more artificial society.
their sympathies are less readily ex-
cited, and they more frequently indulge
the tendency to cynicism natural to
those who lead a life full OF unreality
and conve ntionalisms."

The attendance at National Park yes
terday afternoon broke the record. The
crowd was estimated at about 1900.
All the sections of the great amphitheater
were comfortably filled before the first
game started except the bleachers, which,
toward the close OF the second game,
overflowed 1t was evidently the under
standing Of the people on the bleachers
that when they left the bleachers they
could disport themselves along the lines
inEide A great crowd vaulted over the
fence and fTinged the walls Of the grand
stand. The blue coats, however, at the
request Of the players, rearranged this
crowd TO suit themselves.
There was a particularly enthusiastic
contingent or ladies out. The first game
was won somewhat unexpectedly, and this
insured double degree OF enthusiasm for
the second game They rose to the many
occasions 10 which there were good plays.
The first game resulted to 8, without
any remarkable exhibitions Of either good
or bad bali playing. Mercer and McGuire
were in for the Senators, and Bill Hill
and Pill Wilson for the Coionels.
Contrary 10 the fashion in 4 double bill,
the crowd was very great at the first game.
The first inning went without comment,
and, in fact, the whole exhibition was about
that 70 be expected from the teams and
the places Uney occupied.

on first base. and tins was the beginning

however very serious or costly. Almost
Immediately after this the Sen atorial

Mercer mad and he went In and did sorne
fierce pitching, which retired the Colonels.
A very fine play was made by DeNontre-
vile in this inning, being a running catch
OF bounding ball, which he fired 10 first
without stopping in the act.
Clarke, Tor Louisville. made home run
In the last half of the fourth inning
Mcclure and Reilly mixed up over an
easy foul fly, which was. Of course, lost.
This was bad, but Immediately thereafter
Selbach made one OF his fine running
Catches and restored the crowd 10 its
normal good humor. Then SeIbach dis
credited this good play by the widest
kind Of a throw from left field to third,
and on top Of this came a wild pitch by
Mercer.

left much to be desired. In fact the fight
closely ressInbled d cake-walk, with the
exception of the opening rounds. Then
the fighters seemed TO be careless and ON
one or TWO occasions several blows were
Struck. This roused the audience to some

subsidized, as the men carefully refrained
from repeating the performance.

strengthened IN the second, for Duke got
