There will soon be some matches
made at 200 yards off hand. Black
powder against smokeless.
The “boys” will soon go in train-
ing for the fall tournaments in ad-
joining counties and our country
cousins had better get down their
guns grease them up and practice.
The absence of Alb. Uhl Ernest
Steves Dr. A. Herff O. C. Guessaz

of the causes of low scores made
yesterday.

Louisville proved disastrous to
Cleveland yesterday. Pat Tebean
crowded the champion Baltimores
out of first place by defeating
Brooyklyn. Today Baltimore is
back in first place by defeating Cin-
cinnati yesterday while Cleveland
went down before McCloskey’s
Colonels.
“Danny” Dolan’s mind was any-
where but in the ball game in the
sixth inning yesterday. Withone
out and the bases full Nance hit a
ball to Dan. Instead of forcing the
runner at home and making a
double to first Dolan started to
throw to first. He did this in time
to force the runner but Jtoo late to
complete the double. After this
Sherman scored three runs in that
inning.
OLD PEOPLE.
Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will find
the true remedy In Electric Bitters. This
medicine does not stimulate and contains
no whiskey nor other intoxicant but acts
as a tonic and alterative. It acts mildly
on the stomach and bowels adding
strength and giving tone to the organs
thereby aiding nature in the performance
of the functions. Electric Bitters is an
excellent appetizer and aids digestion.
Old people find it just exactly what they
need. Price fifty cents per bottle at F.
Kalteyer & Son’s drug store.
A Cruel Sight
A cruel scene was witnessed by
some ladies and children at Mid-
way on the West End car line yes-
terday afternoon. A vicious bull-
dog belonging to a Mexican family
living near Jagge’s butcher pens
attacked a young colt only a few
days old and succeeded in chewing
the little animal to death. A lady
and boys hurled rocks at the beast
without effect. A gentlemen pass-
ing by in a buggy knocked the dog
loose with his whip breaking same.
The dog afterwards followed up
the colt and succeeded in killing it.
This dog is a dangerous beast
and should be ordered killed at
once.
WHEN TRAVELING.
Whether on pleasure bent or busi-
ness take on every trip a bottle of
Syrup of Figs as its acts most
pleasantly and effectually on the
kidneys liver and bowels prevent-
ing fevers headaches and other
forms of sickness. For sale in 50«
and $1 bottles by all leading drug
gists. Manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only.
—The arc lamp at tho corner of
Main plaza and Soledad and Com-
merce street was smashed by a
street car trolley pole yesterday
afternoon.
BARBECUE AND BALL.
The Sunday Picnic of the Saloon
Men and Butchers.
At the Butchers’ and Saloon Men’s
picnic and barbecue yesterday at
Limburger’s garden every one was
furnished with all the barbecued
meat they wanted and a good deal
of it was carried off. Everything
passed off quietly until late in the
afternoon when what came near
being a free-for-all fight took placo
in the enclosure for the cattle rop-
ing contest. Thecause of the fight
was that Mr. Limburger wanted to
collect twenty-five cents for the
privilege of seeing the contest
and all those who did not pay
were asked to get out.
At this juncture a vigorous pro-
test went up from the crowd who
had already filled the seats in the
grand stand and a butcher named
Charlie Wernet stood up on the
fence and tried to explain to the
people why admission was charged.
Some one pulled him down and
when he arose he struck Will. Ma-
nger in the face it is said with a
pair of braes knucks with the re-
sult above mentioned that of al-
most causing ?a free-for-all fight
but the timely arrival of three of-
ficers prevented it. Manger then
demanded that Wernett be search-
ed for brass knucksa request which
the police did not immediately
comply with but when upon be-
ing asked again to search him
they did so but did not
find any brass knucks on his
person. Then some one in the
crowd declared he saw a man by
the name of Sullivan take the
knucks and put them in the saddle
bags of Alexander a city pound
man whereupon tho saddle bags
were searched and the brass
knucks were found.
Sullivan was then arrested on the
charge of carrying brass knucks
and was put under a $lOO bond
which he gave on the grounds
with N. Underwood as security.
As soon as all was quieted down
the cattle roping contest took
place.
The first prize of $5O was taken
by Oss Heritage a one-legged man
who threw and tied his “cow” in
42 seconGs but the judges gave him
five seconds on account of his being
one-legged making the time 37
seconds.
Tho second prize was won by
Pleaz Capts in 41 seconds. This
prize was $25.
The third prize of $l5 was won
by O. Watenpool in 50 seconds.
Fourth prize of $lO was won in
1.14 by Will. Ackerman.
The contest was over at 7 o’clock
when a good many people left for
home but they either came back
or others came in their place as
there was a large crowd there for
the big ball at night which ended
the celebration.
A Delightful Party.
A very delightful party was
given by Miss Tillie and Fred.
Weiss at their parents’ residence
514 North street last night in hon-
or of a few of their friends. After
greetings were exchanged the fun
commenced and there were games
social chat and all the usual de-
lights of such gatherings. Be-
tween 10 and 11 refreshments were
served and the fun continued un-
til midnight when the merry
crowd returned to their homes.
Among those present were: Mrs.
Rilling Misses Julia Dugosh Mary
Seffel Ida Abben Minnie and
Tillie Weiss. Messrs. Joseph and
John Morawietz Arthur Lohse
Fred. Czernicki Alf. Holmgreen
Wm. Hehn and. Fred Weiss.
A Discovery.
Although every paper in the city
for several months past have
spoken upon the lavish expendi-
ture of money in the City’s En-
gineer Kindergarten the Express
of July 22nd seems to have just
caught on. It saliloquizes thusly:
“The engineer’s department of
the city has apparently grown too
big for the city. The building of
>the sewers is the excuse but men
acquainted with great engineering
enterprises know that a small but
competent body of engineers can
keep a large body of workmen
busy. It is related that the en-
gineer that had charge of the
Southern Pacific Railway building
west of here in the Pecos river
country where bridges and tunnels
were under construction had three
men under him and kept 2000 men
busy. How is it that it requires
seventeen employes in the city en-
gineer’s department to keep thirty
laborers at work? There|is some-
thing about thia business that
needs serious attention. The en-
gineer’s department has grown en-
tirels too large when they only re-
turn less than $2O fees for public
work and keep a force of seventeen
employes on hand.”
