TOO MUCH POOR TIMBER.

The platform written in Nebraska
by Mr.. Bryan for himself to stand on.
having been measured for Bryan and
not for the democratic party, does not
exactly suit the latter. Complaint is
made by prominent democrats that
there are too many planks and of not
the right kind of timber.
\ well-known democrat of Iowa
says that Bryan's platform means
that the republican majority of Co.
600 in that state will be repeated.
Former Postmaster General Don NJ.
Dickinson said the other night:

would be allowed to write its platform this
year. When the Lincoln party begins by
readopting the Chicago platform entire,

that as ii was a joint democratic and
populistic platform. he did not believe
that he cared to express any opinion

Washington, April Am interest
ing statement showing the sources of
the agricultural imports of the United
States during the five fiscal years 1891

raging about 100000 900 Il year

And individuals During the Past
Week.

The end of the seventh week in the

change in positions.
The w. B. r. r. continue their gilt
edged work and had no difficulty in
taking three from the Columbias, while
the Carroll Cyclers maintained their
hold on second place by defeating the
Benwood Pirates all the games. The
Osceolas, by defeating Picketts Pets
three, remain in third position, and the
Kobs are short length back after TAX
ing three from the All Alikes Ben
wood is still in fifth position three
games ahead of the All Alikes Henry
George and Columbia follow in the or
der named. AS will be seen, 1t was a
week of three, and the gods favored
the first division clubs by presenting
them with all the games played.
On Monday night Col. Arndt mar
shalled his forces in battle array TO
check, If possible, the triumphant
march of the Kobs. But the horny
handed sons of toll had evidently been
browsing on plants of the genus album
and were consequently strong" Not
satisfied with routing the Grenadiers in
the first fight, they followed up their
victory with two others. RAIDER led for
the Kobs, while Kraft did excellent
work in the ranks of the All Alike
crowd.
The same evening Lieut. Geraghty,
commanding the Pirates, led his braves
in three futile charges against the Car
roll Club representatives. The Cyclers
easily out-pointed their opponents in
the first round, winning handily by a
good margin, Notwithstanding the
superhuman efforts of the Pirates.
In the second battle, however. the
Benwood boys put up fight that will
be long remembered by the wheelmen

ART Of THROWING THE DISCUS
FOR THE SUMNER OF
1900.

Throwing discus is one of the old
est forms of missile propeuing exercise
and 1t might be said, perhaps, to be
the only game of the ancient Greeks
that has come down TO us unal1Sred.
In the early ages OF physical culture
TINS paStime occupied front rank
among the favored athletic accomplish
ments, and was only approached in
point of excellence by boxing and
wrestling. OF course, the strangers
and devotees of the cestus were held
in high esteem, but the disk thrower
as model of muscular humanity was
the ideal athlete of those early times.
The discus then most generally in
use consisted of piece of fiat metal
or stone or very often a lump Of
heavy and compact wood. Most com
monty, however, it was made of COP
per and shaped somewhat like the ball
OF the eye, bullying in the centre. but
growing thinner at the edge. Lucian
has described it as small round buck
Ter, so polished and smooth that it
readily slipped from the hand of the
person holding it.
In throwing the athlete placed him
self in space called the balbis. He
advanced mis- right leg, slightly bending
the knee with the weight OF the body
principally resting on the right foot.
When he was ready to launch the his
sile he bent his body forward, the left
hand taking point OF support on the
right thigh, while his right extended.

projection
A condition governing the contest
and one universally and emphatically
insisted on was that should the throw
er happen to let the discus drop after
having taken his stand in the balbis he
was then and there debarred from that
particular contest
The ancient disk throwers entered
the arena in a nude state. 1t was, OF
course, optional. but as 1t was general
iy understood that the least particle Of
clothing was detrimeptal to the free
dom Of action, not very many aspir-
ants for fame but appeared entirely
naked. At first the competitions we're

the Benwood boys are rapidly becom-
ing seasoned there is no longer any
doubt. and they should certainly finish
in the first division. The third game
was easily taken by the Leweywetxeis.
although the Pirates again gave them
chase for while. Special mention il
due the loyal rooters that follow the
Pirates. They are gems OF purest rRy
serene. This is particularly true df
the versatile and vociferous gentleman
who did his utmost to put the Cyclers
in the air. last Monday evening. Not
a member OF the opposing team escaped
him. One needed hair tonic, and was
quietly CD informed Of the fact. The
head of another earned him the name
of "Stubbles" and Romeo, while the
assembled multitude was apprised OF
the fact that a foot ball player was try
ing to bowl. One player. it seems. re-
quired the assistance of a mirror. and
Steve was properly tabled bones"
This gentleman can make any fog horn
look like the proverbial dirty duece in
a new pack"
Tuesday night the contest for SUI
premacy between the Henry George and
the OsceolaS was quite a pretty one.
The games were all close. but the Red
Skins came out victorious. The squaw
(lers) were in fine fettle and sustained
their reputation for roofing. Carter
did nice work for the Indians, while
kirchner and Wells led the Georges.
The same evening the Rough Riders
opened Christmas box for the benefit
of the Columbias. The kind-hearted
Buffalos gave the Center Wheeling lads
three where the bottle wears the cork.
Capt Mitchell's boys tried, however.
to stave off the presents of the cattle
punchers in the second game, but Herr
Schmid wouldn't see IL that way and
insisted on fair Columbia wearing the
little necklace he had provided for her.
The Buffalos are going at an awful clip
and seem TO be right at home on the
Mozart alleys. All of their men do
good work. In fact, this Is true or
every member OF the Mozart league.
The alleys are fast, balls and pins good,
and consequently the averages are high.
The standing TO date is as follows:
