THE LAST SIX DAYS FOOT RACE.

The last of the six days "go-as.you.ple
walking matches, OF which there have been 50
many in the last half dozen years, terminated
in New York city at II O'Clock last Saturday
night The prize offered WAS the OLeary
belt and one thousand dollars to beat RoweIl,
and the gate money 10 be divided IN "A certain
proportion between the five best. There were
at the opening thirty entries, all of whom
started at midnight IA week ago Saturday. On
Monday six dropped out, having made from
| II to 81 miles each; on Tuesday II dropped
ont, the lowest having made 1913 and the high.
est 1913 miles, on Wednesday three more
dropped out, the highest having reached 2i3
miles; on Friday two more gave 1t up, with
scores of 3GO and 4j2; and on Saturday How
ard, dropped out at noon; and Albert, with
los, at $50 p. NJ, leaving John Hughes at
that hour the winner with a score of 5GS n
niles which, had he continued on until II
O'Clock, he would probably have run up to
1850 As it was Hughes had beaten ROwcll's
London score, TIE best on record up to Satur-
day night by two miles 1t is also to be said
in favor Of Hughes, that the track IN the
American Institute, where he walked was
much slower than that in Agricultural Hall,
London, where RoweIl ran his great race In
each Of these two buildings the track was OF
earth, laid on boards, but the English track
was made sprngy by substratum of tan
bark, while that used by Hughes was simply
of eartn, and became hard and unyIelding.
Fortunately his feet stood HE severe test, bat
it served to "break up" hi- dangerous compc-
tilOr, Howard, whose feet were IN terrible
condition when he retired "a little beyond 800
miles. Agricultural Hall is IN winter cold,
cherries building, da gerous to the health OF
pedestrian racers; but the American Institute
represents the other extr M. During The late
race the air was hot AMI dry and toulcd by
lClOuds of tobacco smoke. The feature of the
race-cven of NOR" significance than Hughes
records AIbcrt's unexpected powers. This
was his first "l42 hour race" and the fact that
he-a novce-easily covered sos miles and at
the close was strong fresh and III perfect con
dition, foreshadows him as the coming man,
barring accidents.
Hughes success may, like that Of Weston
in London, be cited rs another result of I'M
daunted perseverance. In 1873 he undertook,
for certain sum, to walk 800 miles in SIX
days. He did his best and made about 400

Wednesday last was n big day for the Ottawa
Turner Society-the celebration of the 18th ami
yersarv OF the organization in Ottawa. BY Turn
ers the whole day was utilized in merry. making,
receiving friends from abroad and entertaining
their guests.
Except in q social way, the celebration began
at , o'clock in the afternoon, when Rosenbeckers
Chicago Orchestra sounded the opening march.
The programme for the afternoon included be.
sides music the speeches appropriate. Geo. Ra'
yens read poem written for the occasion by
Hon. Edward Ruiz, and John Perruker delivered
neat welcome to the guests.
Mr.. McDougall was the orator of the day. His
sneecb was read from the MSS, owing to the
short time he had for preparations but was never
theess well written and closely listened to, bro
ken occasionally by applause. He sketched rap
idly the theories of the modern philosophers
concedng that the origin of life is still an oper
question. Yet philosophers all unite on the axi
ON "sound mind in a sound body" To secure
this latter is the prime object OF the Turner SO
ceties. The history of the Turner organization
was then traced Founded in ISL by jain, thu
celebrated patriot and liberaliSt of Germany, wh'
established a gymnasium at Berlin, for physica

4 general organization OF Societies Throughout
Germany; but in 1919 they were suppressed ah'
jain thrown into prison because the Societie
| generally were looking to universal liberty ant
the union of Germany. jain lived long enough
to see his Societies reorganized in Germany an'
IN know that In America, too they had been es
tablished. In America the first Turner Socet
was organized in Cincinnati in 1912.
The first American Turner's were generally
the textiles of 1SiS" The Society has been char
acterlzed by strong opposition to slavery and

storms throughout the country. A tremendous
fall of snow accompanied with strong drifting
winds, appears to have occurred from Maine
to Iowa, the south line reaching the border of
Virginia and kentucky. Throughout New
York and New England the snow fall was
ovcra foot in depth, and everywhere railroads
were seriously blockadcd. Throughout Mary
land and Pennsylvania about six inches fell,
accompanied by furious gale from the East
In Wisconsin and Michigan the fall was from
10 to II inches. At Chicago eight inches. In
Vermont, besides the heavy snow fall the
thermometer fell on Wednesday morning to
4? below zero. At Ottawa we had the abomi-
nable eastern gale which still! partly hangs on,
but the snow fall was trfie of an inch or
two.
In California the atlliction seems to be ey-
cessivc rams. The heaviest ram fall the state
has witnessed in % years occurred there last
week and the week before. All the streams
overlooked their banks, and Sacramento for a
week was on an island. Bridges were carried
away, farms. destroyed and saw mills ana
houses demolished. y dispatch says: Much
grain in stack has been lost. The property
destroyed Is estimated up into the millions. In
Coluso county the rainfall was lighter, but
even in that county half million would not

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.

Our wise men at Springfield seem 10 have
a wholesome realization of what Is undoubt-
edly true, that the less work they do the bet
ter it will be for the people. II they should
vote themselves their three months pay and
20 home at once, there would probably be
general rejoicing. We see in the reports no
account of anything passing either house, ex-
ccpt that Munn's bill has passed the senate,
to compel Chicago to dilute the waters of the
canal Ivy pumping into them Chicago river
water at the rate OF 10000 gallons a minute,
As has also Senator Campbell's assessment
bill, whatever that may be; and the house on
Wednesday, under vigorous application of
the party lash, passed Mi;chel's resoutian IN
favor of Logan's bill in the United States sen.
ate to retire Gen. Grant on big pension.
Among the many bills proposed, may be
worth mentioning:
IIerrington's bill, to'punish wife heaters by
the whipping post; Senator Tanners bill
against telegraph constellation; Senator Nc
Donald's bill to fix the railroad rates on -four
grain, cattle, hogs, etc. the bill to consolidate
the supreme court at Springfield, which has
been ordered to a third reading in the senate ;
MarShalrs bill to amend the law of libel, so
that mere errors of statement are not to be pun
ishable If fair retracton il made. Among
the numerous appropriations asked for are
$40 900 to run and $4,000 to repair, the sol
dlers' orphans home. Which naturally sug
gests the question, rs some 10 years have now
passed since any soldiers orphans can have
been born where do all the soldiers orphans
come from to need these additional OUTLAWS

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION.

Gen Ben Harrison having been elected L.
s. Senator from Indiana, leaves u vacancy up
on the Mississippi River Commission board
appointed by the President pursuant to an act
of congress to look after our great western
waterways. One of the duties of President
Garfield will be to fill the vacancy occasoned
by the Withdrawal Of Senator Harrison, and
of course the friends OF the Illinois ship canal
know that 1t is of the highest importance IN
the interest of that undertaking, that an Hi
nols man, favorable TO such canal, shall be ap'
pointed to fill the vacancy. As in all fair
ness the vacancy ought to be filled by ives
tern man, and Illinois Is unreprescnted on the
commission, it also follows rs matter OF
course that If the name of an eminenty tit
man for the position is presented by Illinois
the president ought to appoint him.
| In this view, in casting about for the right
man tor the place, several republican papers
IN this region have presented the name of the
Hon. Washington Bushnell. OF his fitness
for the position, prc-eminent over that of any
other man in the state, few will venture to eX
press doubt He has made the matter of ouI
western waterways study for years, is thor
oughly posted, and can, perhaps, better thar
any other man living point out the exact RI
lation which our Illinois canal bears to the
perfection OF the grea, system Of watcr-course:
which is involved IN the union OF our grea
lakes with the Mississippi and its tributaries
But in spite OF his exceptional fitness, Mr.
Bushnell will never get that appointment
Why not, in heavens name! Because, say
the Streator Free Press, Mr.. Bushnell did no

treatment Mr.. b. had received at the hands O
