The Great We&terii Sporting Event, th& "American Derby"

Humble Beginning .of Gay City's Load* Ini Man MIMnsr.

1 As long as the American Derby ex* Ists as the feature of western turf sport, breeding and racing interests in this country, representing millions of dollars in investments, will be certain Of popular favor.

There are other Derbies, but they lose in comparison with the great June event in Chicago, which rises far above the everyday possibilities of the ordinary "hoss Tace," to the dig­nity of the two great events abroad— the Grand Prix of Paris and the Eng­lish Derby on Epsom Downs—which it so closely resembles.

The American Derby is a race for glory. The course at Washington

tary aristocratic resident streets, pre* sent a scene on Derby day morning unrivaled In America. Like a gor­geous braid of color toe vehicles, load­ed with those who have all that wealth can buy**nd art bestow, move out over these streets to Join the boulevard pageant as it passes on with music of horn and bugle to the racing scene. Then the boulevard closely resembles Rotten Row or the Champs Elysees, when royalty is abroad, for the day. All is bright and beautiful, and the spirit of the occa­sion is as thoroughly enjoyed by those in the chaises as others who tread amid the daisies.

It is the Ualoidoscoplc vision of

ball park, when the score is tied and and when he met a pretty dressmaker none out

ft takes two* preliminary races to give the crowd opportunity to size up itself and to whet the appetite for the real thing. Then comes the pre* limlnary "warming up" of the Derby horses by the exercise boys. The starter crosses the field to the half-mile post and soon after the saddling call by the bugler, the parade of the horses past the grandstand and to the starting post follows. Every van­tage spot is now taken.

There are the usual false breaks, the scolding and pleading of the start­er with tricky and over-anxious jock­eys, and finally at the swish of the

DERBY DAY AT WASHINGTON PARK—THE FIRST TIME PAST THE STAND.

Park, made famous by the speed con­tests of American and imported thor­oughbreds, is that upon which re­sound t%? hoof beats of the very beet from noted dams and sires. Here the horses that may have run and won elsewhere come to show that they are the real thing as Derby candidates. It is the best horse to win, and naught

-could tempt owner, trainer or jockey from the strictest line of honesty. Bven royalty has been represented among the owners who prefer to win the Derby than any other turf event.

Multimillionaires from all sections of this country, who willingly pay fabu­lous prices for horses with which they hope to secure this coveted turf bonor, have seen their favorites de­feated by the horses'of owners who Heeded the money to pay their feed tills.

Gen. Phil Sheridan, the first presi­dent of the Washington Park club, rarely given to newspaper interviews, paid when the track was first opened:

"The races here are to be purely for the sport that is in them. Derby day i s to be an event for the pleasure of all. It is also intended as a summer

flashing colors that makes Derby day a success. The bright and fashion­able equipages drawn by prancing horses whose coats are groomed to a silken sheen, and with gold and silver mountings of the harnesses flashing in the sun, the coachmen and foot­men in bright blue coats, white doe­skins and highly polished leathers with tan tops, the autos that this year played an important part as the Chi­cago Automobile Club, turned out in 150 machines, the color effects of the stylish dresses, sunshades and millin­ery all combine to make it seem as though the boulevard had caught the end of a rainbow and rolled it out along the thoroughfare. And, as this symphony of colors is carried through the gates and onto the infield, as care­fully kept as any lawn, for it contains a magnificent golf course, the scene from the clubhouse and double deck­ed grandstand, seating 30,000 people, makes Derby day just different from the ordinary "hoss race." Then to those on the infield where the vehicles are ten deep along the quarter of a mile of home stretch of the track, the animated scene about the club house

flag the great crowd takes up the cry "They're off!" and the horses come thundering down the stretch on the first turn past the grandstand, horses and riders equally determined to win the check for $20,000, which the presiding judge will place in trembling hands in the fractional part of three minutes. But those hands do not shake now. Straight and true, they guide the bundle of nerves and muscular force towards the goal of ambitious effort for each little knight of the pigskin. Cheered by the fran­tic cries from 50,000 throats, each for its particular favorite, horses and riders round the quarter-mile post and from this point the race is really on. Glasses are now in hand of eager spectators, and it seems but a flash of color along the back stretch until the contestants are in the home stretch. Now the hoofbeats keep time to the heartbeats; a brief interval as they pass under the wire, and then as the number of the winner goes up on the judges' stand a tremendous burst of applause breaks from the crowd. Men swarm out upon the track; the immense floral horseshoe is brought

describes very graphically how he was overtaken by an enemy and his narrow escape, he says:

"For years I have been troubled with Kidney Disease which came on me so gradually that I did not know what it was until the pains in my back warned me that it was Kidney Trou­ble.

"I began treatment at once and used one medicine after another, but with­out help, till at last I was just about to give up in despair.

"Just then I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills and bought a few boxes and be­gan to take them. They helped me from the flrpt and now I am completely cured. DodJ's Kidney Pills is the only medicine that ever did me any good. They are worth their weight in gold."

of a generation now past was not noted for his habits of personal clean­liness. Once he was visiting a sea­side place and one day while out in a boat with a sailing party he waa swept overboard, but was happily rescued. When the excitement was over a young fellow rushed down fnto the cabin. "By Jove!" he exclaimed, "we've been having such an exciting time on deck!" "What is it?" asked everybody. "Mr. Blank was washed overboard." "I'm glad of it," snapped a fastidious matron. Everybody waa horrified. "Well, I am," she exclaim­ed. "Just think of that man being washed on board!"

Michigan avenue, the fashionable Ghcago boulevard, and all its tribu-

and its beautiful lawn, the grandstand with its solid sea of faces and the spacious lawn between the stand and track, with a tidal wave of hu­manity which ebbs and flows before and after each race, adds to the gen­eral effect that even the lads who throng the "L" structure just outside the grounds, would not swap places for a knothole In the fence at a base-

He asked one boy what those African states were "called that were not under the sway of native' rulers.

One look "told Charlie that hie friend had good news.

Artomus was fairly bubbling over with the* intelligence he had picked

Such a' smile upon the face of Bar-naby looked bad for Capt. Brand and his great game; the foundations of his Spanish castle were getting shaky, and possibly the whole tremendous structure must come crashing down, engulfing him in the ruins.

"What's the word?" asked Artemus. "AH goes on serenely, so far as I

know." Artemus shut one eye. "There's some high old fun in pros­

pect." "Well, yes, I suppose so; St. Pat­

rick's day is always ..Dooming with good cheer in New York."

"Ah! I mean for us; for our friend the captain."

"That strikes closer home. Now, I knew you were the bearer of good news when I saw you enter."

"I always said-4-was horn under a

lucky star, and this settles it beyond peradventure."

"Well, tell me your adventures, and how good fortune attended you. All of which shall be to the glory of our cause, the vindication of truth and right, and the utter demoralization of Capt. Brand."

"Come over here, where comfort and velvet chairs await us, and pre­pare yourself for a surprise that will, I guess, surpass anything you ever heard."

So they settled down. Charlie endeavored to retain his

composure and possess his soul in patience.

He knew Artemus of old and that a ceremony had to be gone through with ere he would disgorge the secrets he possessed, such as would not disgrace the cross-questioning In one of the higher courts.

"Wella>»ow, you know what hopes I had with regard to the fellows on the Rlalto; how I built up air-castles concerning the finding of one or more among them who knew Macauley by heart, and would, for a proper consid­eration, take pleasure in denouncing him to his face.

"I only ran across one man who had played upon the boards with the great Macauley; he declared he would know him under any disguise; that his mannerisms must always betray his individuality even though he rep­resented—an—Arab or a. heamen Chinee,"

' 'Ah; that's the man we. want, " s a i d Charlie.

"And that's the man we wont get. You see, he had one experience wiui Macauley, and to this day he declares the mention of the man always sends a chill up and down this spinal column. In a word, he fears him worse than the devil fears holy water, and nei­ther bribes nor pleading could in­duce him to say he would open his batteries on Brand. The most I could get him to promise was to see the other from a safe hiding-place and then secretly give us his opinion, with the iron-bound proviso that his name would never appear In the matter."

Charlie elevated his eyebrows. "I should say that man was a little

bashful." "He admitted the soft impeachment,

and confessed to a ghastly fear. No Macauley for him, thank you. A burnt child dreads the Are, you know."

"It might be some satisfaction to us If he added the weight of his Becret testimony to our own strong convic­tions in the matter; that is, it would perhaps influence Lady Arline."

"No doubt, no doubt" "„Win it nav to summon him, then?"

"First of all, 1 began to make dili­gent inquiries among the various ship­ping houses down in the region about Fulton market, and soon struck oil.

"One man remembered the Hespa-sia and her sad fate perfectly. He had sailed a voy&6o on her, and was later on connected in some clerical way with the American branch of the house in whose interests she was Bailed up to the time of her loss.

"That branch house is still in exist­ence and only a block away from where we stood talking at the mo­ment; if interested in the Hespasia or her gallant captain, I could not do better than to turn in and make in­quiries there.

"When I opened my business with a little gray-headed chap, who was resi­dent agent,I wish you could have seen him jump about six Inches off the floor, while the look of astonishment on his face was quite killing. For, as he presently informed me, as luck would have it, I had come asking about a vessel lost many years ago, about which no vestige had ever been

discovered, in the very hour that~tSe~ sole survivor of the luckless Hespa­sia had been sitting there in the same chair I occupied, and telling the most thrilling tales of his adventures in the deserts of Africa—the most ex­citing that ever fell from the lips of mortal man."

"That was quite a unique situation —to sit in the same chair and this survivor of the Hespasia wreck had occupied within the hour. How it must have stirred your blood and set your nerves tingling! And then, just to think what rollicking adventures he had to tell of his life in Africa. By the way, haven't we heard something in that line before? I have an indis­tinct recollection of listening to some very entertaining reminiscences that rivaled the feats of old Munchausen. Perhaps, after all, it was only a dream."

"Plainly, then, you think the old boy has been up to his tricks, and spinning his yarns to a fresh audi­ence," Artemus remarked.

"I confess that thought came to

This direct method of questioning was the best way of assisting Arte­mus along.

It compelled an answer, and thus necessitated the unmasking of his strong batteries.

"I hardly think so." "You know best, but 1 should like to

hear your reasons for refusing what small favors the gods throw in our way."

"And you shall, Charlie, my boy. In the first place, it would hardly pay us to depend at all upon such secret testimony. If we couid Inject some alcoholic fluid into this low comedian, to give him backbone, so that he , would face Brand and finish the game In a blaze of glory, it would do very well; but I fear the only thing that would give the poor devil artificial courage, would at the same tim,e steal away his senses, so that our cause would hardly make much progress. Don't you agree with me?" -

whistle. There were two Rlchmonds in the

field. The man they knew as Capt Brand

had a rival for the honors-it was growing decidedly interest­

ing, and Charlie Stuart realized that his friend had certainly stumbled upon news of importance.

Here, then, was Mate Ben Hazen, come to the surface after his long ex­ile.

Yes, it was a grand stroke of luck.

They could doubtless easily prevail upon the mate to meet the imposter face to face, and tear away the mask with which he had all this time con­cealed his identity.

Surely he would be willing to do this for the Fake of his old captain's daughter.

No wonder Charlie felt pleased. "Well," he said, at length, "it be­

gins to look like business, I declare." "Very much so,' remarked Artemus. **I can readily see there is some

great fun in prospect if we can bring these two wonderful African travelers into contact."

"Oh! glorious!" "And if we can get the mate to de­

nounce this old ogre, our end is gained."

"Who is to denounce him?" "Why, Ben Hazen, the mate, of

course." "Ah! where will you find him?" "I thought—that is. I understood,

or, at least. I took It for granted, you had found him."

Artemus slowly shook his head in the most tantalizing manner.

"I never said so." "The4n I jumped at conclusions, and

was wrong?" "You were." "If Ben Hazen is out of the ques­

tion, I suppose this is one of the crew who has turned up?"

Artemus lay back in his chair, with thumbs in the armholes of his vest His attitude was consequential and triumphant; it plainly gave warning that he was about to fire a volley.

"Guess again." "I am at. my wits' ends." "How^ about the genuine Simon

Then Charlie realized that he could believe him.

"Tell me," he said, eagerly, "were you incredulous at first?"

"Rather." "And how did you set about prov­

ing matters?" "I saw only one way—that was to

look up this new claimant for the honors."

"You did i t?" "I had to. You see, I couldn't rid

myself of the idea that it might after all be Macauley, our ogre, spinning his spider web."

"That would have struck me the first thing."

"Well, with me it was somewhat different, for the case stood out so clearly. You see, he came to the agency in company with the captain of the English steamer that picked him up in a small boat off the coast of Africa—he having at last escaped from the Arabs who held him prisoner so many years.

"This steamer was bound from Cape Town to New York, and had been thrown out of her regular course by a series of terrible southern storms.

"Most remarkable. What a sur­prise for Arline! I truly hope this papa will prove more acceptable than the ogre Has* been," said Stuart, re flectively. '

"I think he will," remarked Arte­mus, calmly.

"What grounds have you for believ­ing so?"

"The evidence of my judgment as brought to bear upon the matter by eyes and ears that are at least equal to the average."

"Then you have seen him?" "Oh, ay." "And talked with him?" "Spent three hours in his company

and he was very loth to have me break away, then."

Really, that should settle it. In three hours Artemus could learn

scores of things that would go to prove matters were as the new claim­ant declared.

"And the captain—what of him? Is he anything like—well, our ogre?"

"Not a whit in manner, and very little in appearance. These long years on the desert have darkened his skin and whitened his hair, but they could not destroy his noble nature. It shows in the determined and kindly glow of his eyes, in the almost heavenly smile, and warm clasp of the hand."

"H*m!—Weirrf-hope he'll be-friend­ly," said Charlie.

"Oh, he's wild to see you—to thank you for all that has been done. Don't worry a bit about that part of it—I've fixed matters," significantly.

Charlie blushed a little. "Hope you haven't overdone it and

made me out a heroic sort of figure. By the way, what did he think of the other?"

"You mean—the ogre?" "Yes. Capt. Brand Number One we

may say." "Well. I wouldn't care to stand in

his boots when those two meet. There's going to be war to the knife, I can tell you."

"Just as I thought." "AH these years he has lived oa

the hope of seeing his dear ones again, and to find an usurper in his place makes him furious."

"Could he cone with the rascal?" "His wild life among the Arabs has

hardened his constitution like iron. Besides, he isn't an old man, although his hair is white. God help the ogre if once he falls into the avenger's hafids."

"Then we must see that this hap­pens as soon as possible. There is need of haste. Such a romantic story as the captivity and escape of Capt. Brand can't long be hidden under a bushel. Some enterprising reporter will gret hold of it, and the affair can be spread out over a whole page*of a yellow journal."

"Correct. And for that reason I thought you had better see my cap­tain at once, so I took the liberty of fetching him along, and if you will kindly take a little walk with me, I'll introduce you to—papa!"

Dr. Hartman, the Famous Gynaecolo­gist and Inventor of Pe-ru-na Of­fers to Treat Women Free During the Summer Months. America is the land of nervous

women. The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffer­ing from some form of female disease. By i a r t he greatest number of female troubles are caused by catarrh.

Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, EO prevalent, t ha t they ac­cept it as almost inevitable. The great­est obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness. In female complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hundred are noth­ing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

The following letter was recently re­ceived:

186 W. 38th st., New York City. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, CL_

Gentlemen:—"What bread and meat means to the hungry Peruna means to the sick. I t is an especially valuable medicine for sick women. I have found that no medicine so quickly restores health and places the body in a normal condition. I bu t voice the sentiments of women who were once sick, but are now in perfect health."

MISS LIZZIE SNEATHIXO. All women who are in doubt as to

what their trouble is should write Dr. Hartman. Columbus, Ohio. Give him a full description of your trouble, previ­ous treatment, symptoms and age. He will promptly reply, with full directions for t reatment free of charge. This is an opportunity which no ailing woman should miss. Dr. Hartman has become renowned through his success in treat­ing women's diseases. His experience in these matters is vast. Correspondence is strictly confidential. No testimonials published without wri t ten consent.

Dr. Hartman relies principally upon Peruna in these case*. Peruna cure* catanrh wherever located.

Mrs. Alex. Johnson, 256 Universit j avenue, Kingston, Ontario, Can..writes:

«*# have been a sufferer for yearn with bearing down pains and back* ache, and got no relief from doctor*? prescriptions. I commenced taking Peruna and after taking the first hot* tie I felt much better and within a month I was a well woman, and heartily recommend it to any woman who Is in as poor health as I was."

MRS. A. JOHNSON. Miss Mabel Meyers, Argentine, Kaa-

ses, collector for the Kansas Temper-ance Union, writes: "Peruna has proved a friend to me for i t cured me when I was sick and the least I can do in re turn is to acknowledge its value to the public* Since I was 17 years old I have suffered with headache, backache and pains inv the shoulder blades. I caught cold easily and my luugs were weak. Catarrh of the lungs was what the doctors called my trouble. I took their medicine for eighteen months without any benefit and hearing about Peruna I decided t o trv it. I used nine bottles and was re­stored to health. This was two years ago, and I am now in perfect health.*

If you do not derive prompt and satis­factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be glad to give you his valuable ad­vice gratis.

Where Carnations Thrive. The carnation likes a sunny situa

Hicks predicts a stormy period from July 2 to 10, in .some quart­ers wicked storms of thunder, wind and hail, followed by quite cool weather for that season of the year. We will be given some ex­tremely warm weather about the middle of the month which will continue Beyeral days. Another storm period will be central about the 20 and another storm will cul­minate as the month goes out.

People go where there is busi­ness. Capital and labor go where there is an enterprising communi­ty. No power on earth is so strong to build up a town so well as a paper well patronized, and its power should be appreciated. The man who overlooks his town paper injures himself by injuring his town and towns men.—Wanamak-er.

lotion, oil or alleged healer is as good as Bucklen's Arnica Salve, tell him thirty years of marvelous cures of piles, burns, boils, eorns, felons, ulcers cuts, scalds, bruises and skin eruptions prove it's the best and cheapest. 25c at F. A. Sigler's drug store.

Do you know the secret of not having winter clothes moth-eaten? Get a whisky barrel and have the top off, and drive a large peg in the top for a handle to the cover, so that you can easily take it off. Then put in tne bottom of the barrel a small open vial of chloro­form. Put in your woolen things and shut it up. If there are eggs innumerable xeady to hatch, the inserts will die and do no harm. If you want a garment for an eve­ning drive or a chilly day, take it out and use it, fold it and lay it back again, and nothing in the moth line will disturb it.

When you wake up with a bad taste in your mouth, go at once to F, A' Sigler's drug store and pet a free sample of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. One or two doses will make you well. They also cure bil iousness, sick headache and constipa­tion.

death for Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dorches­ter Mass. For years she had endured untold misery from a severe lung trouble and obstinate cough. "Often" she writes, "I could scarcely breathe and sometimes could not speak. All doctors and remedies failed till I used Dr. King's New Discovery for Con­sumption and was completely cured."

"TeryTftemarka^Te Cure of Diarrhoea. "About six years ago for the first

time in my life I had a sudden and se­vere aitack of Diarrhoea,'' say9 Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and tor six long years I have suffered more misery and agonythan 1 can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hund­reds of dollars for physicians, pre­scriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertise­ment of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testi­monial of a man who had been cured by it. The case wag so similar to my own that I concluded to try the rem­edy. The result was wonderfo.il. I oould hardly* realizeihat I was well again, or believe it conld be so after

' having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cants, cured me." For sale by F. £T. Sigler.

According to the London Lan­cet, a sure way for keeping eggs fresh consists merely in greasing the eggs the moment they are laid and before they are cooled. This procedure is so successful that eggs so treated are said to be as fresh to the taste when weeks and even months old as they are when eaten an hour after being laid. Try it.

Y "ciCTION. This is not a gentle word—but

when you think how liable you are not to purchase tor 75c the only remedy universially known and a remedy that has had the largest sale of any medi­cine in the world since 1868 for the cure and treatment of Consumption and Throat and Lung troubles with­out losing its great popularity all these years, you will be thankfull we called your attention to ttoschee's German Syrup. There are so many ordinary cough remedies made by druggists and others that are cheap and good for light colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup —and especially for Consumption, where is difficult expectorationand coughing during the nights and mornings, there is nothing like Ger­man Syrup. Sold by all druggists in the civilized world.

Qraas Seeding* on irrigates LiSiias. I prefer drilling alfalfa seed with

small grain for the reason that it_can_ be put into the ground about two inches deep and thus find sufficient moisture to bring it up. So far I have had much better results than from broadcasting. For timothy, redtop and brome grass I prefer broadcast­ing, as I know of no drill that will han­dle these seeds properly. I use a wheelbarrow seeder, costing about $8, with which I can sow twenty acres a day. I always sow these grasses in early spring, writes a correspondent to Orange Judd Farmer.

For alfalfa I plow the ground in sum­mer or fall, grade it well and irrigate before seeding. The seeding is delay­ed until all danger from frost is past, say from May 10 to June 1. I always see that every inch of land has been irrigated. Then when the ground lias dried just enough to work well I go on the land with a hoe drill. I put the alfalfa seed in the grainbox and let it run down through the pipes. Set the drill to cover about two inches. Use sixteen to twenty pounds of seed per acre. When the ground is dry enough not to pack, go over the land with a roller or a planker. Seeded in this man­ner every alfalfa seed will come up. I get better results from ten pounds by this mode of drilling than those who put in twenty pounds of seed broad­cast.

I consider broadcasting very waste­ful in this country, whether it be grass seed, grain or peas. This is an arid section, and all seeds lying on or near the surface of the ground either sprout and then die for want of moisture or do not sprout at all.

are certainly very marked. Six weeks a go there were no less than twenty-five stall saloons; now there are none. The license of every man running such a place was held up by the committee un­til every stall was torn out and the partitions hiding the secret bars were taken down. Some licenses have been refused entirely and the police authorized to close them up.

The common council is compos-e d of twenty-four men. Twelve are elected every year and hold office two years. Twelve of the council men who were under May­or Perry are now in office. A few of these men stand for decency and law and order. There are some seven or eight of these men that are under the absolute con­trolofthe-saloon-elements—They |. have given the new councilmen a hard road to travel. These men must be turned down next year". We are keeping tab on them and will advise our constituents later. Let the voters of Grand Rapids finish up the work and clean out the whole foul brood.

THE BONDSMAN MAKES THE'SALOON

POSSIBLE.

In Michigan no saloon can run its business legally without two. bondsmen. If he could not find men of his own sort with property enough to justify on the bond, he could not run his business. Hence the bondsmen are in a certain sense, partners in the business. They are usually paid for signing the bond one hundred or two hun­dred dollars. If any church mem­ber signs such a bond he ought to be dealt with by the church just as though he had opened a saloon. He has opened it by his bond. Society ought to treat the bonds­man as it does the saloon- keeper. He is no better. If society ostracis es the saloon-keeper it should o s-tracise the bondsman.

-Hvered-an address that called for fre­quent applause.

Gov. A. T. Bliss, candidate for a re-. nomination, was an interested specta­tor in the gallery. Candidate Stearns was not present during the morning or afternoon, but his Wayne county manager, Homer Warren, sat in the gallery a few yards to the left of the governor.

The Bliss men were very nearly ac­curate in their estimate of 800 votes for their candidate, the Saginaw col­onel rollinjr up 811 on the first ballot, against 214 for Stearns, 40 for Horton, and 22 for Patton.

The hardest worked lot of men in the convention were those on the committee on resolutions. The cause of their troubles was the disagreement over the question of primary elections. The State League of Republican Clubs had declared for primary reform, and Charles E. Townsend. representing the league, appeared before the committee j to urge the adoption of the plank pre p.-u'ed by the league committee. He was backed by Charles D. Joslyn, of Detroit.

The members from the interior, how-ever, objected to any plank which would positively demand the passage j of & primary bill next winter, holding that the voters in the less populous counties do not want to drop the con-! vention sytem.

Accordingly there was a long debate running all through the noon recess, 1 of capital may be necessary to success-the result of which was a compromise, j fully compete with aggregated capital in which commended the nrimarv elee- disinterested industrial fields as well as wxiita loramenaea tne primary eiec foI. t h e p u r p o g e o f advancing operations

Homer Warren, chairman of the primary election committee of the state league of Republican club*, after reading the piank of the plat­form on election reform, said: "The convention declaration is not as" strong as we would have made it, but 1 fee' satisfied with what has been done, and we shall keep on with our campaign to brinir about the passage of a general primary election bill in the next legis­lature."

Fred R. Fenton. president of the league, also expressed his satisfaction with the platform and his belief that a primary bill will be passed next win­ter.

A Tragedy at I ' n l o n v i l l e . Tin- 17-year-old son of Jim Henry

an Indian residing three miles w'est of Vnionville, was shot and lulled Satur­day afternoon by Al Adams, a farmer.

The story as told by the excited father of the boy is that Adams came to the Henry home and while there at­tempted to assault .Mrs. Henry. The hoy rushed to bis mother's assistance

•and in the fight which ensued Adams drew a revolver and fired three shots at the boy, all three taking effect in the head.

The story told by Adams varies somewhat from the one told by Henry. He states that the boy and his father assailed him and that in self-defense he fired the fatal shot at young Henry.

The fact that Adams is considerably battered would seem to substantiate bis story to a certain extent. He 1ms always borne a gootl reputation.

None of the ladies present were certain but all would like to know the cause. "What would make the club more interesting ? Miss Brown thought a varied program would be pleasing such as quota­tions, conumdrums etc., Miss Van Fleet thought such things out of place in a iarmers club.

Owing to the general absence of the gentlemen of the club the con­tinuance of the discussion of gen­eral farm management was not taken up. The supper which fol­lowed the program was quite up to the ordinary.

The foliage und the flowers are abundant and beautiful, and in the rural districts tbe people are picturesque in manners, eustoms and dress.

With a few exceptions the roads are bad^ irat they are grafonrttyimprovinj?,and most of the centers of great interest to tourists may now be reached by car­riage. Only a few years ago travelers had to go on horseback or on foot, as they do in the Holy Land.

Vegetable Caterpillar. Among tbe many strange growths,

•does not differ essentially in appear­ance from some of the caterpillars of our own land.

Its claim to distinction lies In the fact that when it gets ready to die It digs a bole for itself In the earth and com­pletely buries itself. Later a slender green shoot springs from the spot This bears two or more leaves near its top.

Upon Investigation it is found that the green shoot springs from the head of the dead caterpillar, and further in­vestigation develops the fact that the body of the caterpillar is filled with roots.

The form is retained without change, and the roots do not pierce through the skin or enter the ground. When dug up. this dead yet living freak presents a most odd uppearaace, for the head and even the eyes of the caterpillar are distinctly seen, yet from the head is growing Use green sprout, with Its leaves.

Bard to Tell Chinaman'* Ave. How old Is n Chinaman? Can you

give a good guess? It is harder to tell than tbe age of a negro. Tbe Chinaman has no beard, and his hair Is of a jet and glossy blackness, which turns gray only at an extreme age, when a Cauca­sian head would be either snow white or bald. Then again the Chinese have the most perfect nervous system of any people in the world and do not wrinkle up with age. They can stand any amount of opium smoking without material injury that would send a white man to his grave or an insane asylum. So you have little to go by. A Chinaman will look thirty when he is twenty and when be is fifty. If yonv ask him his age, he will place it at* least ten years ahead, for he holds old age to be honorable, and among his people he will be respected and looked up to by all his Juniors."-Washington Post
