TAKES CUP
W/IL/I/yZJ/<II/<
WINS EIGHTH TIME IN RACE
WITH CONSTITUTIONAL
TON SEES RACE.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., Aug. 25.-The
Columbia glided across the line yes
terday afternoon for the eighth time
winner over the Constitution. There
was no second, for the Constitution
had quit. After sailing once around
the triangular course of the Seawan-
haka club with the Columbia, AZ sec
onds winner, having gained on every
leg, both boats ran into q terrific rain
squall. They grOped about some time
in the doWnpour and shifting breezes,
hardly able to see two lengths ahead.
At last the weather cleared a bit The
Columbia picked up at the mark which
was the first of the second round and
stood for it. The Constitution, how
ever, had already withdrawn and was
headed for Oyster Bay. The Column
bia kept on, finished the race and
takes the cup. Yesterdays race
marks the finish of the preliminary or
tuning up series between the Consti-
tuition and the Columbia. They now
come to the trial races off Newport
under the auspices Of the New York
Yacht club. The boat winning two
out of three races, provided there has
been a fair test of speed in average
cup conditions, will undoubtedly be
selected by the Americas cup COM
mittee to sail in the international
races against the Shamrock II.

Pittsburg, Aug. 25-Talk of peace in
the steel world continues in spite of
denials that there are prospects OF
any by either the officials of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation or the
Amalgamated association. President
Shaffer stated last night there was
nothing probable in this line as far as
he knew. He denied positively that
the conference with four visitors Fri
day had any significance and said the
situation was unchanged. In spite of
this statement there is a strong under
current of belief that powerful indu-
enceS are at work to bring the warning
interests together with an idea Of end
ing the disastrous warfare that is I'M
settling the industrial prosperity of the
country.
About the headquarters Of the Anal
gamated association yesterday there
was the usual Saturday qualifications.
Callers were few and the officers were
busy with mail matters most of the
day. The utmost reticence has been
noticeable in all circles regarding
strike matters since the close of the
conference. Officials of the steel work
ers refrained from all discussion of the
strike, nor would any of the steel peo-
pie talk. There were some persons
about the Amalgamated association
headquarters yesterday who said that
both President Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers and Prof. jerks of the
industrial commission went to New
York instead of Chicago. 1t is further
rumored that they carried with them
information to present to the United
States Steel corporation regarding the
settlement of the strike and that they
had the necessary authority to act for
the Amalgamated association up to the
point of an official meeting between
the two interests concerned.
The Amalgamated lodges of Wheel
ing, Benwood and Ohio side mill
towns, Bellaire, Aetnaville and Mar
tins Ferry, gave a monster outing at
the state fair grounds at Wheeling yes
terday afternoon, at which the princi-
pal attraction was Assistant Secretary
Tighe of the Amalgamated association
Tighe expressed confidence that the
South Chicago men would join the
strike next week. He left last even
ing for Chicago, where he will address
the South Chicago men today.

story which brought wildly to min,
an incident of Coles stormy you'll
that he had we'll nigh forgotten, anc
caused him to roar with laughter a
the humorous side Of the tale.
The story had to do with the ex
ploits of crowd of drovers, wht
operated in the country roundabout
Kansas City soon after the war, and
showed how they combined charity
and robbery.
"One of the characters who enter
into this story" said the ST. Louisan
fixing his eye on Cole, was an old
colored nanny, who lived short dis
lance from Kansas City. When the
crowd of drovers rode up to her
house one dark night and demanded
accommodations until morning. She
at first entered a strong objection.
She said she had scarce enough food
to keep her own body and soul to-
gether and that she would probably
be turned out of house and home on
the morrow On a mortgage fore
closure. The sheriff would be there
to collect the money due at that time
and as she was without funds she
would be unable to meet his demand.
How much dye reckon you owe
the sharif, mammy?' asked the leader
of the crowd, fine looking, strapping
big fellow.
"She named the amount, the big
fellow passed around the hat, and the
sum needed was Immediately forth
coming
1.-THE sheriff arrived soon after the
departure Of the drovers in the morn
ing. The payment was promptly
made, and he set out for the city
we'll satisfied. His satisfaction was
short-lived, for at turn of the road
the drovers closed on him and re-
lieved him of the identical coin they
had subscribed to a worthy cause the
night before"
Cole laughed heartily over the story
at its conclusion, and though there
was a twinkle in his eye, he said
nary word that might betray his re-
of the exploit.
IT was at war all my life up to the
time left Saltwater" he said before
leaving.

her were her two sons, aged IA and

them When the train reached here
the woman smashed a large plate
glass in the car vestibule and jumped
from the train followed by the two
boys They rushed into the Corning
club where the woman, bleeding and
bruised, screamed for help. The
woman and sons were finally caught
by the police and a doctor dressed
their numerous cuts and bruises

Lincoln, Neb., August 2S.-PoItical
gossipers are discussing two questions
these days with considerable acumen
One is the political future of Chairman
H. c. Lindsay of the republican state
committee and the other is the prob
able successor OF Billy Summers as
United States district attorney.
There is a strenuous rumor that will
not down saying that after the republi-
| can state convention has selected Mr..
Lindsay's successor he will resign his
position as private secretary to Cover
nor Savage and remove to Wisconsin.
There, it is said, he vii be made chair
man of the stalwart republican league.
Mr.. Lindsay when interviewed on the
subject declines either to affirm or
deny, but there are several incidents
giving color to the guess. Mr. Lind
say originally came from the badger
state. Within the past few weeks he
has paid several visits to Milwaukee
and not long ago Miss Mary Watson
Of Grand Island, private secretary to
Mr.. Lindsay during the last campaign,
secured a position with the stalwart
league. A warm personal friend of
Mr.. Lindsay is authority for the state
ment that he has received fiattering
offer from the league.
Mr.. Lindsay is credited with remark
able shrewdness as a political man
ager, and republicans here accord him
full credit for the great achievement
of wrestling this state from. the Bryan
forces in the last campaign.
On the question of the United States
district attorneyship Senator Millard
is quoted with significant remark
While in Washington last week All in
terview was given out in which the
senator was represented as saying
that the position should go to the
North Platte region, inasmuch as the
South Platte had secured the internal
revenue collector. The orator said
however he had not consulted his col
league on the subject. If the attorney
ship go to the North Platte section it
is believed that either Will F. Gurley
of Omaha or Speaker W. G.. Sears of
Tekamah will receive the appointment.
1t was generally believed for time
that Chairman Lindsay would receive
this appointment, but the position oe
Senator Millard effectualy prevents it,
much to the dissatisfaction of Lind
says friends and admirers.

man, while browsing around in
Colorado, investigating the evidences
Of ancient Indian civilization in that
state, took a notion to open one OF
the numerous mounds. He found
many interesting relics, and, among
other things, sealed in jar, a few
kernels of Indian corn.
1t was discolored with age, but
otherwise apparently in perfect shape.
The next spring he planted the ker-
nels, and to his surprise, nearly every
one sprouted. That fall he gathered
a crop of the finest corn in the COM

twelve feet high and the ears were
as long as mans forearm and the

One Of the members of the firm seek

McFetridge Brothers were repre-

Most of the argument in favor of con-

made by Evan Evans, recent gradu-
