A Noted Trotter Dead.


The Dolavan correspondents Of
The Walworth County Independent
says
At the trotLing- matinee held on
the Delavan dri7ing-park on Satur-
day last, the celebrated horse, J u.
McMann, owned by G. W. Phillips,
caught his hind foot in strap or
the forefoot and broke bis leg in the
centre Of the thigh. After careful
examination by slillful horse-far
rier it was decided that ho could not
be saved ard be was killed on Tues
day A. NJ. This was one Of the best
and fastest horses in this part Of the
country, and he had more friends
and admirers than any other horse
we know of except those Of national
reputation like Dexter, Goldsmith
Maid, etc. He trotted q milo heat
on the Walworth Comfy fair-ground!
two years ago in 2:3l, and on new,
heavy track at that. His best pub
lie record was 1928, although he had
trotted his milo in 2:24 This time
was made in Sacramento, Cal, being
2:281. Ho made three heats on the
St. Paul course in the following time:
1921, 2:3) and 2:31 He was ton
years old be was purchased by Mr..
Phillips in California two years ago,
since which he has been offered gle,
900 for him, but he was not for sale.
He could probably have sold him
now Tor $4,000. The accident which
caused his death is deeply regretted
by all our people.

Sartoris Cornered.

1t will be remembered, says the
Sheboygan Herald, that Mr.. A. G. Il.
Sartoris, son-in-law OF President
Grant, spent most Of last summer in
She5oygan. During the time he
was here he visited the photograph
gallery of Manville Il Mallory, and
had his picture taken, leaving the
negative in the hands of the photo
graphers. Owing to resolution on
the part of Mr.. Sartoris not to have
his photograph offered for sale until
after his wedding, on the 21st, this
negative became quite valuable, it
being the only one in the country.
ManviIle Il Mallory telegraphed to
Mr.. Sartoris in Washington, and re-
ceived permission to sell his photo
graphs after the 9th. They then
made arrangements with q firm in
Chicago to publish large number
of photographs from be negative in
their possession, and have them on
sale in the principal cities of the
Union on the morning of the 21st.
At last accounts this firm had receiv-
ed large number of orders for pho
tographs, and it was probable that
they would be able to sell all they
could turn out. They had received
Geographic orders from Harper &
Bro and Frank Leslie for advance
proofs Of the photograph 1t thus
appears that Sheboygan has corner
on these photographs.

A BIG HAUL OF CoUNrERFEITERs.-

A BIG HAUL OF CoUNTERFEITERs RS
United States detectives have been
in Cincinnati ever since the haul of
counterfeiters in West Tennessee.
Nearly year ago it was ascertained
that the counterfeits circulated were
made in Ohio, and the detectives did
not make themselves known to any
one outside the United States Court
officers, not even to the city police,
and their names to-day are secret.
Having worked up the case thorough
ly, they commenced making arrests.
Geo. Stoffelkamp, keeper of a gro
Gerry, was first taken, and word got
ont that he was Kidnapped. The
Metropolitans made vigorous search
for the kidnappers. Arrests follow
ed rapidly, until ten persons were in
custody in the office of the United
States Marshal! Their names are
Jennie Twitchell, Jacob Devato,
William Gordon, John Mills, James
L. Earle, John Krutzmier, b. Stila,
Mary Brown, William Bockley. The
cases were continued till next week.
aud all the parties-except Stoffel-
kamp, who gave buil-were put in

and nature of the evidence in the
possession of the detectives has not
been publicly developed

.B The lady-crusaders of Cincin-
natl have repeated the warnings from
the Mayor and police that the streets
and sidewalks must be kept open and
free from all obstruction to travel; and
that if necessary legal means would be
used to keep them from being blocked
up. They still went on in their mis-
guided zeal, trusting that the holiness
of their cause would shield them from
arrest; but it did not prevent forty
three of them from being arrested for
wiIful and determined violation of
city ordinances.

pathos Of his voice, quivcring with
suppressed emotion, was indescriba-
BILE. Before his prayer was coaclud-
ed, the enthusiastic Morton felt that
he could follow such leader to the
worlds end.
He repeated his text: "Behold,
the day cometh," and launched a,
once into strongly impressive in
PRODUCTION about the sll-pervading
presence Of God, until the whole
house seemed full Of God, and Nor
ton found himself breathing fearfully
with q sense of Gods presence and
ineffable holiness. Then he took up
that never.failing theme of the pion-
eer preacher-the sinfulness Of sin
and there were suppressed cries of
anguish over the whole house. Nor
ton could hardly feel more contemp.
for himself than he had felt for two
days past, but when the preacher
advanced to his climax of the atone
ment and the forgiveness Of sins,
Goodwin felt himself carried away
as with food. In that hour, with
God around, above, beneath, without
and within, with . feeling that since
his escape he held his life by sort
Of repr.eve--with the inspiring and
persuasive accents Of this weird
prophet ringing in his ears, he cast
behind him all human loves, all am
bilious purposes, all recollections Of
theological puzzles, and set himself
to . self-denying life. With one final
battle he closed his conflict about
Patty. He would do right at all
hazards.
Morton never had other conversion
than this. He could not tell of such
. struggle as Hikes. AL he knew
was that there had been conflict.
When once he decided, there was
harmony and peace. When Valcn-.
tine Cook had concluded his rspt
peroration, setting the whole house
ablaze with feeling, and then pro-
ceeded to ssopen the doors Of the
church" by singing
"Am . soldier Of the cross.
A follower OF the Lamb.
And shall fear to own his cause
Or blush to speak his name."
it was with sort of military exalta-
tion-a defiance Of the world, the
flesh and the devil-that Morton
went forward and took the hand of
the preacher, as q sign that he SOL
emnly enrolled himself among those
who meant to
conquer though they die."
He was accustomed to say in after
years, using the Methodist phrase
ology, that "God spoke peace TO his
soul the moment he made up his
mind 10 give up all" That God does
speak to the heart Of man in its great
crises cannot doubt; but God works
with, and not against, the laws Of
mind. When Morton ceased to con-
tend with his highest impulses there
was no more discord, and he was of
too healthful and objective a tenn
permanent to have subjective fights
with fanciful Apollyons. When
peace came he accepted it. One Of
the old brethren who crowded round
him that night and questioned him
shout his experience was 'safeard it
warn't rale deep conversion. They
wuzn't wras'lin' and strugglin'
enough" But the wise Valentine
Cook said, when he took Morton's
hand to say hood bye, and looked in
to his clear, blue eye, sHold fast the
beginning Of thy confidence, broth

CHAPTER XVIII.

At last the knight was in the sad
die. Much as Morton grieyed when
he thought Of Patty, he rcjoiced now
in the wholeness Of his moral pur.
pose. Vacillation was over. He
was ready to fight, to sacrifice, to
die, for good cause 1t had been
the dream of his boyhood; it had
been the longing Of his youth. maTed
and disfgured by Irregularities as
his youth had been. In the early
twilight Of the winter morning he
rode brayely toward his first battle
field, and, as was his wont in mo-
ments Of cheerfulness, he sang. But
not now the Highland Mary or
"Ca' the yowes to the knowes," but
a hymn of Charles Wesley's he had
heard Cook sing the night before,
some stanzas of which had strongly
impressed him and accorded exactly
with his new mood, and his anticipa-
ton Of trouble and the loss of Patty,
perhaps, from his religious life:
"In hope Of that immortal crown
now the cross sustain,
And gladly wander up and down,
And smile at toll and pain;
suffer ON my threeseore years.
TIL my deliv'rer come
And wipe away his servants tears,
And take this exile home.
20, what ore all my sufferings here
H. Lord. thou count me meet
with that enraptnred host to appear
Aud worship At thy feet!
Give JOY or grief. give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away.s
But let me nnd them all again
In that eternal day"
Long before he had reached His
sawachee he had ceased to sing. He
was painfully endeavoring to imagine
how he would be received at home
and at Captain Lamsden's.
At home, the wan mother sat in
the dull winter twilight, trying to
keep her heart from fainting entirely.
The story of Morton's losses at cards
had quickly reached the settlement
with the easy addition that he had
fed to escape paying his debt Of dis
honor, and had carried off the horse
and gun which another had won from
him in gambling. This last, the
mother steadily refused to believe.
1t could not be that Morton would
quench all the manly impulses Of his
youth and follow in the steps Of his
prodigal brother, Lewis. For Nor
ton was such boy AZ Lewis had
never been, and the thought Of his
deserving his home and falling into
bad practices had brought to Mrs.
Goodwin an agony that was next
door to heart t-break. Job Goodwin
had,abandoned all work and taken to
his congenial employment Of sighing
and croaking in the chimney-corner
building innumerable Castles o
Doubt for the Grant Despair.
