The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1884-08-09

Colonel John p. st. John, the nominee of
the ProhibtiOnsts for President, was born
at Brookville, Franklin County Ind, Feb
ruary 25, 1888, to which place his father
moved from Orange County, New York,
some years previous. Colonel st. Johns
early opportunities for education were
only of that character furnished by the
Indiana log school house of half century
ago, but still he was diligent in improving
whatever facilities the times afforded and
succeeded in obtaining fair education.
Ambitious to earn his own living, at an
early age he entered store at six dollars
per month. The family located in Illinois
and before attaining his twentieth year
young ST. John went to Cali
fornia, where he worked at mining, wood
chOpping and such other employment as he
could secure. From California he made
voyages to South America, Oregon, Central
America, Mexico and the Sandwich Islands
In 1923 he took q hand in the Indian
wars of California and Oregon. Returning
to Illinois in 1860, he entered the law-Office
of Starkweather d McLain, at Charleston,
as student and one year later be-
came partner. During the
year 1851 he enlisted as a private in Com
pilly y, ClNty-elSnIn heglllenJ Oh lllilOlS
volunteers and was unanimously chosen
Captain of his company. His regiment was
stationed at Alexandria, Va, and Captain
st. John assigned to duty as Acting Assist
ant Adjutant General. In 1862 his regiment
returned to Illinois and was mustered
out. Captain st. John was after
ward chosen Lieutenant Colonel of
the One Hundred and FOrty-third
Illinois Regiment and served until 1864. He
then resumed the practice of law at Charles
ton, Ills In 1855 he removed to Independ-
ence, Mo-, and took an active part in the
politics of the day. In 1869 he located at
Olathe, Kansas, and commenced the prac-
tice of his profession. Was elected State
Senator from johnson County in 1872, but
declined denomination at the end of his
term. He was prominently before the
Republican Convention for Governor
of Kansas in 1876, and declined the nomina-
ton rendered him by the State Temperance
Association, although an ardent temper
ance advocate. Colonel st. John was nomi-
mated by the Kansas Republicans for
Governor in 1878, and elected by large
majority. He was re-nOminated end elected
in 1880; was again nominated in 1882, but
defeated by the present Governor of Kan
saS. Since retiring from Office Governor st.
John has devoted much time to the cause Of
temperance-a principle which through him,
more than any other one man, has been
grated upon the fundamental law of his
adopted State.

Money or Blood.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 30.--W. T.
Windsor, who killed young Eddy at SOddy,
Tenn, Saturday evening, had prellmin-
airy trial in this city. Eddy went into the
telegraph office and demanded of Windsor
money which he claimed the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad Company owed him.
Windsor stated he had nothing to do with
it. Eddy said he had come for the money
and must have IL or blood. He
had pistol in his hand when
the demand was made. Windsor
ordered him TO leave the Office. Eddy flour.
ished the pistol again and demanded the
money or he would have blood. Windsor, dur
ing the trouble had taken a pistol from a
drawer. When Eddy again flourished his
pistol, Windsor, quick as fash, shot him
dead Before the fatal shot was fired a
man named Wilkinson stepped between
the TWO men as peacemaker, but Eddy
pushed him to one side, tiourishing his re.
volver, and saying: "rhere was something
would settle the matter" Both men are
telegraph operators. Windsor was held 70

STILL THE QUEEN.

Maud s. Says Jay-Eye-See You and Go You
aQuarter Better-Brilliant Performance
ofthe Little Mare at Cleveland-She Low
ers the Record to 300 81.
CLEVELAND, o., August4.
Maud S. surprised everybody Saturday
by beating the wonderful time of 2:lC
made by ay-Eye-See Friday at Providence.
She made the mile circuit Saturday after.
noon without skip or break in 2:09 ga.
When the report reached this city thatJ Jay
Eye-See had lowered the Maud S. record by
quarter of second the greatest interest
was manifested in sporting circles as to
the ability of the little mare to beat it,
and when she rounded the home-strrtch
In grand style the excitement was intense.
The wonderful performance is the gen.
eral topic of conversation. 1t
having been stated that Maud S.
would trot a fast mile and prob.
ably endeavor to lower her record, fully
5000 people were present at the race
track to witness the event; but they had
no idea of the rare treat that was in
store for them. Very few persons be-
lieved that the driver would endeavor to
beat the time made by Jay-Eye-See FRI
day, and consequently but few bets were
offered. The principal bet was made be.
tween Captain Stone, her former owner,
and Mr.. LauterbeCk, a well-known fam
cier. Barr, the driver, brought Maud on
the track and exercised her frequently be-
tween heats of other races. BY four
O'Clock she was in fine form and condi-
ton, and President Edwards announced
that Maud S. would then be driven fast
mile for the amusement of the audience.
The pretty little thing watched the weigh
Ing of the driver and other preimnarieS
with apparent interest and when the word
was given to go, she gathered herself Tor
desperate effort, and before reaching
the first quarter had settled herself into a
2:08 gait aud passed 1t in tnirty-two Sec
onds. The half was made in :O4 still
maintaining the RAPID pace. The third
quarter was trifie slower, hut alter
rounding into the homestretch her speed
was terrific. With her head stretched Tor.
ward and her eyes flashing she shot under
the wire like rocket having completed
the circuit in 2:09 ga, maintaining heI
reputation of "Queen."
In order 20 fu ~ appreciate the great
victory OF the little mare over time aud
space, 1t must be said that from the start
TO the finish the whip never touched her
glossy coat, and it appeared ut one time
that little urging on the part of her
driver would have maintained to the
close the gait at which she started. When
few moments later the figures, 2 100 ga
were displayed from the judges stand,
shout that shook the grand stand went
up from the delighted audience. and the
excitement was intense. Enthusiastic
horse Ianciers are claiming that this Is
not the INIT to the mares abilities, and
predict she will yet reduce the figures To
not far from two minutes. The time al
the three-fourths post was ;O6 3-4.

TEEMER WINS.
The Pittsburgh sculIer Wins Handsome
Victory over Wallace Ross, the New Bruns'
wick Champion at Oak Point, n. Y.

The Pittsburgh Sculler Wins Handsome
Victory Over Wallace Ross, the New Bruns'
wick Champion at Oak Point, n. Y.
NEW YORK, August 4.
The long-looked for single scull race be-
tween Wallace Ross, of New Brunswick,
and John Teemer, of Pittsburgh, came of
Saturday before a very large assemblage
at Oak Point, resulting in an easy victory
for Teemer by clear length, in 2G min
utes and 32 seconds.
At 6:35 p. IN. the men were ordered to
their stations. Teemer was the first to
put his boat in the water Ross came
out five minutes afterward. Both men
appeared in splendid condition. The
betting at this point was 500 to $50 OF
Teemer. The Pittsburgh deiegatio forcee
the odds up to this point. Ross almost
anticipated the starting point, and nj
once drew away with u twcnty-eigh
stroke. Teemer started off at u llveliel
rate, making thirty strokes to the minute
Despite this, Ross gradually drew away
and in half minute showed lead o.
half a length. There was no semblanct
of squirting by either rover, but Ross
further increased his LEAD to II length
at the mile buoy. The swell from the
sound steamers bothered them slightly
but they soon got through the broSer
water aud then the struggle became des
perate As reemcr cut down Ross lee
inch by inch. In a quarter of mil,
Teemer had spurted to the front and il
another 200 yards he showed open water
1t was now clear to all that Ross was set
tied. Teemer rowed a fine stroke while
Ross became very erratic. This, in addi
ton to his exhausted condition, made
him labor heavily. At the stake boa
Teemer was leading long way, and tht
turn was made by him in 1915. Ross
time was l3:l7 l-2. From this point t.
the close it was a procession, though
Teemer caught bad "crab."

SHELDON HOUSE,
OCEAN GROVE, n. J. Aug, 4.
General Grant was among those
who visited the reunion of army
chaplains and members of the Christian
and Sanitary Commissions who per-
formed volunteer, field and hospital duty
during the war, which ended last night,
having been largely attended. General
Grant drove down with Fred Grant and
X h. Oglesby, Republican candidate for
Governor OF Illinois The General was
enthusiastically received by Il gathering
OF 5000 people, including many well
dressed ladies, amid cheers and waving
OF handkerchiefs.
Rev. A. j. Palmer, of the Park Avenue
church, New York, who was once sem
fenced to be hanged as a spy and lived
to hear his own funeral sermon, well
coined Grant in behalf of the Associa-
ton, and his illusions to the recent
troubles of the ex President called forth
from the latter the following response:
81 remember" said the General with
tremuious voice as he stepped forward
with crutch and caue, "the grand work
OF the Christian and Sanitary Commits
sions, and how they helped the suffering
and dying everywhere; they wrote
letters and forwarded dying me-
mentoes to loved ones at home under
my own eyes, and they nursed souls
as well as bodies. An hour ago ex-
pected to make you speech and say
some kind things, but under the circum-
stances (the illusions to his private
affairs) | do it with difficulty. | only
hope"-here the General whose voice had
become husky, broke down completely,
was led tottering to his seat by
George ii. Stuart, President of the Com
mission. The vast audience stood upon
the benches and cheered. Ogiesby spoke
tor three-quarters of an hour, after which
the distinguished trio were driven to
Grants cottage, at the west end of Long
Branch.
