ty Miles-Titus Drops Out.

New York, July 1.-THE tweuty-Tnile
match race between Fred. Titus, OF this
city, and ]. F. starbuck, OF Lewisburg,
Pa, held at Manhattan Beach today, re-
suited in d walk-over for starbuck. The
Intense interest manifested in long dis
tance races between the big riders, brought
5000 people to the beach, but Titus dis
appointed his friends by retiring at six
and half miles, aud spelling hat was
expected to be a great race. Passing
the Judges stand on the fist lap, Titus
was u clear nifty yards in advance OF
Starbuck. The former, il was evident, was
riding at tremendous pace, which II
maintained for twenty miles would re-
suit in the creation OF new records,
At one mile Titus advantage was large.
At two miles, while riding easily, be had
an advantage OF fully a quarter OF q lap,
and still gaining.
At thee and a half miles Titus was
thIee-quarters of lap in advance. and
affairs looked decidedly gloomy for Star
buck AT this stage or the race, how
ever, change took place Starbuck ,
TO exercise hetter Judgment. and his pick
ups were much more prompt.
AS a result he began to close up ON his
rival Titus covered four miles ID $50 2 3
and five miles in 9:45 Is. At the latter
distance he was almost a lap in advance,
but StarbucE was riding despera tely, and
slowly but surely commencing TO reduce
Titus lead. He still led at the sixth mile,
but his opponent had pulled up so that
only half a lap divided the men
Titus began to shows signs of distress,
and TO the great surprise Of every one
shook his pacing machine al six and a
half miles. sat upright on his saddle and
stopped pedaling. He alleged that stitch
in his side and consequent loss of breath
compelled him to stop. Starbuck clrcled
his eleventh mile in 2:O3 and his seven
teenth mile in 200
From sixteen TO twenty miles he created
new American records. He finished the
twentieth mile in 41;O6, lowering Jimmy
Michaels record by one minute aud one
second He rode a 96-inch gear. Star
buck won 81 900. and Will now meet

whiting on the same box near the
Kirby's bank) that they were on seven

assertion is correct" Mr.. D'Huy left

would know that dry goods box whit

REPUBLICANS MEET.
COUNTY CONVENTION IS CALLED

Central Committee Gathering Well
Attended and Sentiment Strong for
Successful Fall Campaign.

The Republican county central COM
mittee and a number Of leading Re.
publicans from all parts OF the county
met at S. S. Smiths office last Satur-
day. D. R. Gorden presided and A.
c. Romig was secretary.
The county convention was fixed
for Saturday, July 18th, at the court
room, primaries Thursday, July 10Th.
There will be 147 delegates. The
sentiment Of the gentlemen present
was that there is an excellent party
harmony throughout the county, and
that with the nomination of good
ticket, victoryis sure to result. Many
Populists are disgusted with the
Leedy administration and with the
Populist county ticket and will have
no more to do with that particular
brand OF reform.

KICKED OFF A TRAIN.
Brakeman on Union Pacific Causes q
Mans Death.

Geo. Callahan, a Junction City
brakeman, kicked Elmer Bailey, of
Waverly, off a freight train at Salina
Sunday. Bailey fell directly under
the cars and was killed and Callahan
is under arrest. Bailey was hanging
on rod under freight car and CAL
lahan came down from the top of an
other car. When he espied Bailey
stealing ride, several who saw the
act, claim he grabbed the handle OF
the door with one hand, and resting
one foot ON the outer rod, kicked
Bailey with the other foot several
times, causing him to lose his hold,
and fall across the rail below, with
his head between the rails, and his
feet extending outward. The rear
truck Of the car passed over him, cut
ting him in two across the abdomen,
also manglng his lower limbs in a
horrible manner. When Callahan saw
the body fall he Immediately jumped
off the car and signaled the engineer
to stop the train, which was done
after the last car had passed-about
so feet from where the corpse was
lying. The hearing is set for next

RED EAGLE DESERTS.
Feather Nightcap to Be Laid Aside
for Awhile.

Red Eagle, the Indian brave, who
a year or so ago, laid aside his war
bonnet for the scarlet-banded cap of
the Salvation Army, has deserted and
gone over into the camp Of the Vol
unteers. Cupid managed the affair
and a tamborine lassie goes with the
warrior and the Army loses two mem
bers, an effort will be made to court
martial the little marplot and dis
charge him from the regiment. Red
Eagle was in Abilene for star en-
gagement with the Army a few weeks
ago and was very indignant because
the REFLECTOR referred to his feather
head-dress as a nightcap. Maybe it
was attractive to the girls though.
Red Eagle fell in love with pretty
young captain and wanted to marry
her, but the organization would not
consent to the wedding on account Of
his race and color; and when it gave
the command it expected soldierly
obedience. Red Eagle was willing to
obey most commands but not this.
He conferred with the lassie Of his
heart, and then together they sought
the Volunteer lines, where the course
of true lovo runs more smoothly.

Broken Backs Mcnded.

A man walked out Of the Cincinnati
city hospital restored to perfect health
whose life not a month before was
despared of, says the Cincinnati En-
quircr The individual to whom mod
ern science gave new lease upon ex-
istencc was Edward Dorsey, brick
layer, who fell from Il scatfold dis
tance of 50 feet. When picked up the
man was unconscious, and on his ar
rival at the hospital it was discovered
that he had sustained fracture OF
the spinous process Of the lower dorsal
vertebrae, or, in other words, that his
spinal cord was fractured about the
middle of his back. His advanced age,
Dorsey being A years old, initiated
against him, and his chances for recoy-
cry were exceedingly slight. 1t was
decided, however, to make an effort TO
gave his life, and for that purpose he
was incased in a plaster OF paris jacket.
The process is exceedingly unique and
is practically a new method for this
kind of fractures. 1t requires no par
tlcular skill, as the patient is placed
in a linen hammock and stripped per-
fectly nude. A fine silk jacket, much
on the style of an undershirt, is drawn
over his body After this mixture Of
water and plaster Of paris Is spread
over the torso to the thickness Of sew
eral inches. The patient Is then al-
lowed To remain in the hammock until
the casing has become solidihed, when
the ropes Of the hammock are cut and
he IL lowered to cot on wheels, on
which he Is returned to the ward. In
this plaster shirt he Is allowed to re-
main for q week or more, when the
casing is clipped away. Dorsey was
thus rigldly imprisoned for nearly ten
days, and left the hospital well man.
Mrs Elizabeth Fhee, ali eccentric
woman Of Wcstchester, Pa, died in 1856,

VERY BUM BASE BALL.
Fort Riley Team Is Better at Parades
Than Athletics.

The poorest ball game OF the sea-
son was that Saturday when Fort
Riley presented an exhibition of hay
stacking, log rolling, wind pounding
playing thas was pitiful to behold
The team had practiced together but
once-and acted like it. Abilene
would have made more scores but the
day was warm and the boys grew
weary running bases. 1t is no small
task to run the diamond 27 times and
they did not care to exert themselves
further. The soldiers had one good
point, they were good-natured and
took their defeat laughingly. If juno
tion City can do no better there is no
use in Abilene playing there. The

Abilene will play at Junction Clty
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
meeting functions new team. This
team is made up mostly Of profession
ais and is costing junction about
5000 a week. The Union remarks.
"Those hired men up at Abilene who
have beeu playing with boys, will do
well if they get in sight of the home
plate" We will see about it later.
There is not so much enthusiasm
about meeting Atchison as there was.
That team played at Parsons Friday
and the Sun openly charges it of
throwing the game for betting pur-
poses. The president Of the Parsons
Athletic association publishes card
also in which he says: "Rolla Mitch
ell, the manager of the Atchison
team, some time before the game
started, showed Frank Brady, the
county attorney, an agreement in
writing between him, Mitchell, and
some other parties unknown, by
which, in substance, the Atchison
team agreed to so play ball as to al
low the Parsons team to win appar-
emily on their merits" II that is
Atchison's style Abilene should re-
fuse to meet them.
The eastern cities of the state are
forming league and it is proposed
to put up one in this section of the
state including Abilene, Junction,
Minneapolis and other towns. Then
at the end of the season have the
champions Of both leagues meet for a
state championship contest.
