THE COMING RACES.

Additional Entries-All the Races En-.
tered For-Sale Of Ground PRIVILEGES.
The coming races on the HALEY
race track promise the longed.for ex.
citement which sporting men, espe.
cially, have desired, and, in fact, the
interest manifested on Wood River in
the event encourages the Jockey Club
IN making unusual preparations for
entertaining the multitude on the DAYS
set for the races.
Up to noon to-day, the following
additional entries had been made:
In the saddle race, Eureka, an un.
tried but very promising horse from
Utah.
In the half-mile dash Hudson &
Smith, of Shoshone, enter Telegraph,
a fine-limbed animal, and one destined
to make good record; and by the
same parties "Pinto Horace" in the
alf-mile-and-repeat race. This horse
is we'll known in Oregon, where he
won several closely-contested races.
For the pacing race, mile heats, two
best in three, c. P. Croy enters sorrel
gelding, Sorrel Billy, by Red Buck
and II. Robinson enters the gray geld
ing Keno.
Frank Pierce will be here with his
two fast horses-Dutchman and John.
ny Moore. Both horses are we'll
known on Wood River and have a
good record. The Dutchman is en-.
tered for the 3OO-yard dash, and
Johnny Moore for tho 6OO- yard and
half mile race,
TRACK PRIVILEGES,
The privileges on the race course
grounds were sold at auction last
evening.
The bar and pool privilege were
bought by w. ID. Pinkston. The ice
cream and lunch privileges were
knocked down to Charles Moore, and
the gambling privileges to Jack
Dowd-all at rates which prove that
these gentlemen have reason to expect
large attendance and an active cir.
culation of ready cash.
A large attendance is expected
from other Wood River towns and
mining camps, and from Camas Prairie.

COL. d. N. SELLS.
An Attorney Whose Reputation il Very
High Wherever Known.

Colonel D. NJ. Sells, gentleman
who is very we'll spoken Of by all who
know him, arrived in Haley a few
days ago, and has opened a law office
next door south of the Grand Central
Hotel. Colonel Sells is a genial, whole.
souled gentleman, who is bound to
make many friends here. The Papil-
lion (Neb.) Times of recent date
said of him:
Col. ID. NJ. Sells, who has resided in
Papilion for the past year, will start
for HALEY, Idaho, Sunday, where he
will open law Office and PROFOUND
the statutes to the Haleyites. Col.
Sells followed the legal profession for
several years in Kansas, where he made
for himself an excellent reputation as
lawyer, but the tempting offer for his
services IN railroad Office lured him
from his profession, and during the
past three years he has occupied the
position of chief clerk in the Auditors
department of the Union Pacific Rail
way, with headquarters at Omaha.
The Colonel is a man we'll liked and
spoken of by those who know him in
timately, and with his departure the
Union Pacific Company will lose one
Of its most experienced and valuable
men. Mr.. Sells is energetic, public
spirited and liberal, and will prove no
small addition to the business circles
of Haley. Papillion regrets to lose
his citizenship, but his acquaintance
here follow him westward with their
best wishes for his success IN the beau.
tiful Wood River valley.

THE HALEY JOCKEY CLUB.
There Is No Disagreement Among Its
,Managers-All Races Advertised to
Come on II There Are Two Entries.

To THE EDITOR OF THE T1MEs:-
Noticing an article in your issue of the
Sth instant, in which it is stated that
there exists disagreement in the
management of the Haley Jockey
Club, we, the managers, wish it under
stood that there has never been anv
disagreement between us, or any
drawback to the races. There are
probably some persons in town who
would like to see them fall through,
and who started the report.
AS far as the number of entries is
concerned, we don't care how many
there are, SO two horses start in each
race. The purses are hung up and
the money is ready for the winner, let
it be who it may, and all who are not
afraid to run or trot their horses are
welcome to enter. Our motto is: Let
the best horse win"

MRS. CUbP'S DEATH.
It was Sudden, But Not Unexpected
Her Antecedents.

Mrs. Culp wife of Isaac Culp,
lessee Of the Grand Central Hotel,
HALEY, died this morning, after long
illness, from an abscess in the side.
Mrs. Culp has been troubled from
this complaint during a period of five
years past, and was brought to Haley
from her home on the ranch to be un-
der medical attendance and, if possi-
BILE, restored to health. Friday she
was feeling so much better than for a
long time past that she attended the
school picnic during the day and the
minstrel performance at the Theater
in the evening, and Saturday went
out riding, but in the evening grew
rapidly worse until this morning, when,
surrounded by her friends. she passed
away.
Mrs. Culp was born in Nova Scotia
in 1s45, married David Dorsey, lived
in Silver City. Owyhee county, many
years and later, FIVE years on the WE'LL
known Dorsey ranch, on the Snake
River, 40 miles from Boise C,ty-one

Miss Lottie and David, until their re.
moval to Haley.
The funeral will take place from
the Grand Central Hotel tomorrow
afternoon, at 3 o'clock, sharp.

NICK JOHNSON, THE PACKER
In His Anxiety to See q Railway, He
Nearly Kills a Valuable Riding Ami.

In His Anxiety TO See q Railway, He
Nearly Kills a Valuable Riding Ami.
NAL.
Nick Johnson, the packer, whom
everybody knows, came down from
Atlanta, Thursday, via Sawtooth.
Nick heard that rail cars were actually
running into HALEY and, though AZ!
years of age, he had never, never,
seen railroad car, track nor engine.
When he got down to Easley's, IA
miles above ketchum, his desire to
see railroad had grown and swelled
within him to such an extent that he
could not restrain himself, and, put
ting spurs to his horse, which was
flect-footed runner and which Nick
had never before abused in his life, he
came sailing down Wood River at a
perilous pace. Judge " S. Ander-
son tried to keep up with him, and the
settlers along the road merely caught
a glimpse of them before they would
be out of sight. The tollgate keeper
heard them coming, and before he
could close the gate they had sped
past and nearly out OF sight. The
report was started up river that DIES
perate horse thief was being pursued.
Nick reached Haley, slung the bride
over the horses neck, and leaving
him in the middle of the road started
on run for the end of the track.
The depot agent saw a man going
through many strange motions and
came up to satisfy his curiosity, when
Nick, like school boy ON his first
visit to a circus, ventilated his IDEAS
of the new style Of pack train which
could carry at load more freight
than forty times the heaviest loads he
had ever transported over the noun
talns on his train OF pack mules. He
was delighted at the explanation of
the station agent and although Nick
has run a mountain pack train the
past 20 years over the trails of Idaho,
he has about concluded to sell his
mules and apparajoes and buy little
railroad tor himself. He got aboard
the train next morning and rode all
the way to Bellevue-four miles
and came back in the evening agai,.
on the cars, and yesterday was hoping
to get through in time with packing
his mules to admit of his going all the
way to Shoshone and back on the cars.
He is little bit gone on this mode of
travel, which beats mule riding out of
sight.

THE vIsHNU.
A Rocky Bar Mine That is Showing a
Bonanza.

Bonanza.
The Vishnu mine, at Rocky Bar, is
developing into valuable property.
General Winters, who is in charge,
struck rich and large bodies of free
gold milling quartz within few feet
of where the lessees had stopped work
prior to his taking hold. He has run
$50 feet Of drifts during the winter,
on the ledge, and 800 feet of this is
on good milling quartz running from
80 to 100 ounces in gold to the ton,
and the vein is from one to three feet
wide-all of which is run to the.mill.
There is now above the levels OF
which his miners are working $50 feet
of unbroken ground on the vein above
him, or $50 feet of sbacks" in the
vein ready to open up by lines of
slopes, and General Winters and the
owners of the Vishnu are we'll salts.
fed with their bargain. The mill is
running right along and making very
satisfactory returns at each clean up.
The water-power turbine wheel used
for power renders the cost of crushing
the ore very light. Frank Ganahl, of
this city, is one of the owners of the
Vishnu.

A HOmely Illustration Of Faith.

Sam Jones was talking to man of
weak faith the other day. The doubter
asked if Mr.. Jones could not give him
demonstration of religion. "None," was
the reply. "You must get inside the
fold, and the demonstration will come of
itself. Humble yourself, have faith, and
you shall know the truth" SIN other
words, must believe, accept it before it
is proved, and believe it without proof"
L" Now, hold on right here. Out West
they have place for watering cattle.
The cattle have to mount a platform to
reach the troughs. As they step on the
platform their weight presses lever, and
this throws the water into the troughs.
They have to get on the platform through
faith, and this act provides the water
and leads them to it. You are like a
smart steer that slips around to the barn.
yard and peeps in the trough without
getting on the platform. He finds the
trough dry, of course, for it needs his
weight on the platform to force the water
up. He turns away Disguised, and tells
everybody there's no water in the trough.
Another steer, not so smart, but with
more faith, steps on the platform. the
water springs into the trough, and he
marches up and drinks. That's the
way with religion. You've got to get on
to the platform. You can't even examine
it intelligently until you are on to the
platform. If you slide around the bach
way, you'll find the trough dry. But stet
on the platform, and the water and the
faith come together without any trouble

Hope.

We have all heard much from pulpits
of the virtue of faith and the virtue of
charity; but think we hear too little of
the virtue of hope, which completes the
Trinity, and is an indivisible part of it.
We are 80 constituted that it is impossible
for Ms to exercise charity persistently with
out both faith and hope, like Aaron and
Hur, to sustain our sinking arms. Without
faith in the divine gem of goodness buried
in every human breast, we cannot labor for
the higher welfare of our brother, or af-
ford him that nobler sympathy without
which to give all our goods to feed him
profiteth nothing. And without hope in
a future, stretching out before him in in
finite vistas of joy and holiness, we can
not attach due Importance to his moral
welfare; we cannot measure the sin of
misguiding and corrupting him, or the
glory of leading him to virtue. Nay, in q
larger sense, philanthropy and the enthusi'
asm of humanity. the very flowers of ag-
Mysticism, must wither if unwatered by
hope. We must needs work on one by.
pothesis or the other. Either all men are
destined to an immortal existence, or else
they will perish at death, and the earth
itself will grow old and sustain life nc
longer on its barren breast. And then
all the hopes and virtues and triumphs Of
the human race will be buried in oblivion

verse remembering that man ever had ex
istence.--Miss +. p. CObbe in Contempor

Coed Sermons.

A sermon is too often like Hodge 8
horse. 1t is overdone with brasses and
bells, harness and harmony; but there is
no real strength in it, no life and vigor.
1t is fine, but not forcible. Now it strikes
everybody that the trappings of poor old
half-starved horse look like mockery.
You can not pillow fields with ribbons and
bells; you want muscle and sinew. And
so there is no moving mems hearts with
pretty phrases and musical nothings.
What is needed is thought, truth, sound
doctrine and the Spirit of God. Young
men are apt to think less of what to say
than of how to say it; but our advice is,
think of both in due proportion. Set the
matter before the manner. Get the horse
first, and get good one, and then harness
him. Give the people the grand old Cos
pei, and plenty of 1t, and they will not
much mind the way in which you bring
it forth. A good horse should be de
Gently harnessed, and divine truth should
be fifty spoken. The mischief is that
some appear to think that the harness
makes the horse, and that q fine style
is the main thing in sermon. Churches
and chapels would not so often be empty,
If ministers would take heed what they
preach as well as how they preach

Cost OF Drink.

The Inter- Ocean computes that the re-
ceipts of the saloons of Chicago amount
to $32,0S2 $50 in year, and that in
Illinois about 100000, 900 are annually con-
sumed in buying liquors. This is at the
rate of twenty dollars per capita, and as
the people of Illinois are not especially
bibulous, the conclusion is that the same
ratio holds good throughout the country.
1t would be hard to accept this compute.
ton, if it were not for the internal reve-
nue. statistics, which show that in the
year ending June 30th, 1882, there was
paid to the government, tax on 72000,-
900 gallons of spirituous liquors and 527,-
100000 gallons of fermented liquors,
which it is calculated cost the consumers
no less than s930,000,000. This is 1880
per capita for the entire population. To
spend this sum in year, man would
only have to spend little over five cents
a day. But when we remember that
those who drink have to make up for
those who do not, including women and
children, the figures become startling.
They are still more so when in addition
to the idleness, incapacity and vice which
accompany excessive liquor-drinking, we
contemplate the gross expenditure in dol.
lars and cents. OF the thousand millions
spent in drink, not less than eight-tenths
mean proportionate denial of some ra-
tional comfort, either in food, clothing,
or intellectual enjoyment. In view OF
such figures, can any one doubt that
liquor is the greatest curse OF modern
times 2

will not cooperate with others, except on
condition that they will go the full length
of their specific creed on this point, seem
to US as not practically wise men for their
own cause, whether they live in Ohio or
elsewhere. We give them full credit for
all honesty of purpose; but we take the
liberty of doubling the wisdom of their

for good cause, and in helping to get
that, even though it may not be the best
that can be conceived. 1t is on this
ground that we have recommended and
still recommend the prohibitionists of
Ohio to ally themselves politically with
the republican party of that state and aid
in securing the election of its ticket, and
thereby in defeating the democracy, which
is notoriously the rum party in Ohio, and
will, this fall, be supported by the whole
liquor interest of the state. This, in our
judgment, is the true way for the prohibi-
tionists of Ohio to serve the cause of TEN.
