go 5000 to the first horse, $400 to the

winner of the dash in the first race will
receive 5000 more than the winner of
the first money in the two-in-three race,
it is probable with good day and good

About three o'clock Thursday after
noon the business part of town was
startled by series of rapid explosions
from one of the show windows of Ben
nett's cafe. In lighting a parlor match
the burning end dropped into a window
containing a case of fireworks and
instantly the whole mass of ex-
plosives went off. All kinds of fire
crackers and Roman candles sputtered
away, while rockets tore up and down
the street. Although there were six or
seven persons in the cafe and the streets
were full, no one was injured, which is
truly remarkable Owing to the quick
work of the fire department the damage
was entirely confined to the window,
although serious conflagration was
threatened The loss was entirely COW
cred by insurance.
