some question whether the power

the work and collect all over thai
amount from the power company.
There are several water mains o.
the land to be occupied and the ques
ton has arisen whether these shat

is in favor Of leaving the mains where
they are SO that the new plant will
have adequate fire protection.

The iury's finding that the American

not a surprise. The italian attitude
toward Charlton has not been very
friendly so an acquftaT was hardly
looked for. There was Sufficient evi

tendencies and of the suffering he had
been subjected by his wife that the

Besides being allowed JAIL the time

months, to which he was sentenced
the American was fortunate in getting
the benefit Of the one years deduction

sentences passed for cffenses commit

Charlton was in much better men
tai and physician condition at the end
than at the beginning Of his trial. He
quite appreciated that he had escaped
easily and seemed well satisfied with
the verdict.
On his release, Charlton expects tc

In retaliation for the bombardment

bard this morning the capital OF the
Grand Duehy OF Baden.
AT 8 o'clock in the morning twenty
three aeroplanes set out for Karlsruhe.

jectiles OF ninety and 1855 caltber on the
objects which had been indicated 70 them,
particularly the chateau. an arms manu-
factory and the station. A great number
OF fires broke out during the time the
aeroplanes were flying over Karlsruhe.
A serious panic was observed In the sta
ton from which trains departed hastily
proceeding in an eastorly direction.
"The machines were subjected to q

That the first annual 30O-mile au-
tomobile derby in Omaha on July 5
on the fast board speedway will be
an unqualified success is clearly
manifested by the rapidity with
which reservations for seats are COM
ing in. Charley FRANKIE announces
that the reservations now in will
take up nearly all the ,grandstand
and box seats at the finish nd>op-
posite the pits. and the parking space
in back Of the pits is practically all
reserved. Most of the orders, too,
are from out of town.
Providing the seat sale continues at
its present rapid gate. the speedway
directors estimate that the attendance
will be more than 1000 1t was not ex-
pected that the attendance the first year
would reach this mark and the directors
would have been satisfied with $1,000, or
even perhaps 1890, but it is already GER

tain that these latter figures VIII be
surpassed and II Is an even bet that the
5000 figure will be reached. In view OF
the fact that indianapolis drew less than
that number at the Decoration day race
Il can be seen how enthusiastic this part
Of the country Is over auto racing.
Arrangements have been made with
the street car company for an extension
OF the Carter Lake line to the gate OF the
speedway This extension will be about
three blocks long. In addition, the Illinois
central will run trains direct to the
speedway as the railroads track runs
within a few feet Of the gate. THESE
two methods Of transportation will make
the track easily accessible from down
town. the trip by either car or train
being around thirty minutes.
In addition to the day Of the race
first class service will be in order for the
elimination trials. These trials will be
held July 1. 2, and 4. Elimination trials
are almost as interesting as the race
itself. 1t has been decided to charge an
admission of only 80 cents to the speed
tests
