The speed ring at the Logan County
Fair grounds gets more than half the
amount paid for all other exhibits.
Too much hoss for the good of the Fair.
Sporting men have long said that rae
ing brought the crowds, but when they
tried a separate horse racing fair there
were not enough people attended to
pay expenses. Less premiums for horses,
and higher premiums on other exhibits
would do more to encourage agricul-
ture and would draw bigger crowds.

Texas Reports Great Damage to
Open Cotton, Roads and Bridges.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 27.-During the
past twelve hours there has been
terrific rainfall over the whole of
Southern and a portion of Eastern
Texas, which has done great damage
to the open cotton, washed away in
Vulnerable small and many big. bridges,
drowned cattle and caused other de-
struction.
The small streams are reported out
of their banks in every direction and
the railroads have suffered heavy dam
age to their tracks and bridges.
At Kennedy it is estimated that fif-
teen inches of water fell. Many people
were compelled to remove from their
homes.
At Rancho, a sixty-foot steel bridge
was wrecked by the flood and carried
half mile down the stream. Several
houses were washed away but their
inhabitants got out in safety.
A great number Of horses were
caught in the bottoms at various
points and were drowned.
Gonzales county especially suffered
heavily in this respect. The loss 10
cotton cannot even be estimated. be-
cause OF the large area affected. Pick
ing had been in progress for some days.
but all that was not removed from the
bOlls is total loss, being beaten into

HORRIBLY BURNED.
Eight Men Victims of Blast Furnace
Explosion.


McKeesport, Pa, Sept. 27.-Eight
men, with charred faces, burned bod
les and terribly scorched heads were
taken to the hospital as the result of
an explosion at Furnace of the Car
negie blast furnace plant, Duquesne
this evening. Two of the victims have
since died, and there is but little hope
that any of the others will recover.
All the injured were caught in the
fiery blast of flames and ashes, which
followed the blowing out of a bell
while the men were at work. They
were sent up to the dangerous place
about an hour before. Something had
gone wrong with the working of the
furnace, and the men were ordered to
make the necessary repairs.
The men must have received some
warning of what was about to take
place, and knowing full well the terri
BILE consequences of an explosion at that
time, took refuge on the walk sur
rounding the bell. Suddenly the lid. or
bell" of the furnace was rent from
it's attachments and swung down to
the side of the furnace. A deafening
explosion followed and the furnace
flames shot skyward The eight work
men made vain efforts to conceal their
bodies under the furnace walk and
Shrek after Shrek came from the top
of the furnace. When the flames had
subsidized rescuers made their way to
the top of the furnace, where the eight
men were found lying around in all
positions and all unconscious. All the
men are residents of Duquesne and are

MIMIC WARFARE.
Troops From Fort Riley Practice the
Art of Killing.

Fort Riley, Kan, Sept. 27.-To- days
warfare between the armies of the
Blues and Browns consisted of prepar-
ing to fight without fighting.
Early in the morning the army of the
Browns marched out to the north line
of the reservation, and then. wheeling
about, went back over their tracks I'M
til they came in sight of the advancing
army of the Blues. The Browns, sup
posed to be only an advance guard,
supported by an imaginary body of
reserve troops, prepared for action as
soon as they sighted the Blues, and
the latter prepared for action as rapidly
as possible, after the Browns came
over the horizon lines. When every
thing was ready for the killing to
commence. everybody tramped back to
camp, and the maneuVerS of the day
were over.
The advance guard of the main
body, under the command of Gen.
Bates, was composed of Company Is of
the First Battalion of Engineers, the
First Squadron of Cavalry, less one
platoon, which remained with the main
body; the Seventh Battery of Field
Artillery, and two guns of the Sixth
Battery of Field Artillery; the
Eighteenth Infantry, two battalions of
the Twenty-third Infantry and a squad
of ten men of the Hospital Corps. 1t
was accompanied by a number of wag-
ons carrying ammunition and en-
trenching tools and six ambulances.
There were in the advance guard about
$500 men. The main body comprised
all the remaining troops in camp,
about 4,500 in number. This formed
the army of the Blues.
The Browns, who by power of the
imagination were equal to the Blues in
numbers, We're commanded by Col. c.
c. Carr, and consisted only of the Sec
Ond squadron of the Fourth Cavalry
First squadron of the Eighth Cavalry,
and the Sixth Battery of Field Artil-
lery, less the two guns which were
with the Blues.
The Browns moved out early in the
morning, and at 8 o'clock were in DO
sition near the north line of the reser-
walton, where Col. Carr formed his men
for battle, extending his lines as much
as possible. Gen. Bates was advancing
with his army. Way out on either flank
his scouts were thrown, and the light
cavalry riding in advance of the col
umn eagerly watched for Col. Carr and
his Browns.
When they were finally sighted word
was given to push forward as rapidly
as possible for some high ground in
front of the column. The troops de-
ployed rapidly, forming lines of bat
tie, as they FASTENED up the hills. The
batteries dashed into position, and with
an almost incredible speed were ready
to open upon the enemy. The infantry
| reserves behind the main line of bat
tie fell into position and ambulances
and ammunition wagons went dump
ing over the rough prairie ground to
/ the places where they could extend
the greatest assistance. When the
preparations for battle were completed,
| the umpires declared the end of the
| days work and the march back to
camp was taken UP.

ADVICE TO POLES.
Hold Fast to POIOnism Says SienIkie-
wicz, But Avoid Hatred.

Berlin, Sept. 27.-Henryk sienkie-
wicz, the Polish author, advises the
Prussian Poles not to allow themselves
to be driven into extreme acts or words
through the anti-Polish agitation. He
has addressed the following appeal to
the Polish people:
, AT present glowing hatred of the
Poles, their traditions, language and
ideals is spreading in Germany. The
movement has one good effect, name
ly. 1t renders our Germanization i'm
possible. The Germanism which is
thrust upon US through force and
hatred will nevermore pass into Polish
blood. 1t is at best but var
nish, which can be Immediately
removed. The real danger for
the Polish people is hatred
against Germanism. Hatred begets
hatred and here begins the task of ev-
cry decent. intelligent newspaper. Pro-
tect the Polish popular mind from ha
tired, in order not to be poisoned like
the Prussians. Protect them morally
and politically. Remember that only
God knows what evolutions are i'm
pending for the Prussian kingdom,
which, with all its power, may only be
a transient, political phenomenon. Hold
fast to your Polonism. Let no power
on earth tear it from you. But avoid
hatred of the present governments
policy. 1t is merely a congestion of
the Prussian head, causing temporary
dizziness "
