HOW the sports flaCeO money on
the Events.
Things were fairly lively at the pools
just prior to the first heat III the 2:94
clrss pace. Temple sold freely at $40,
and Red Rover for IS, there being
plenty of people who wanted the field
at SIS. For the twenty-one class trot,
Lynn W, the pretty bay gelding had
lots of friends at $40 for choice, Illinois
Egbert sold freely at 81, and the field at
SIS was freely bought on all sides.
The crowds round the pools were
much larger, and considerably more
active than on the previous day, the
pool men being kept busy in supplying
the demand for favored stock. The
roulette outfit was a bonanza for its
proprietors during the intervals between
events. and, as has always been the
case on every race track since time inn

TOUCHING TRIBUTE.
Old Settlers Summoned to Attend
the Funeral Obsequies.

Hon. w. Pitt Murray, president of
the Old Settlers association, pays the
following tribute to his old friend:
To the Old Settlers of Minnesota:
Edmund Rice, the peer of any man who
ever lived in Minnesota; man who did as
much, is not more, to make the imperial state
of Minnesota what she is to-day; man who
inaugurated the great railway system OF the
state; man whO if on every rail, locomotive
and car his name was indelibly impressed,
would not be receiving too much homage; as
senator, representative and mayor of the city
of st. Paul he furnished the best evidence of
his ability in taking care of and advancing
the interests of our growing and prosperous
city: as a member of congress. he represented
faithfully and well the interests of our Deo-
pie; and as l write these words there IS sor-
row and mourning in hundreds and hun
dreds of homes. where his charity and bene-
factions knew no end He is dead. At his
funeral and around his bier let there be an
unbroken link of the old settlers, who for
forty years have been his associates, co-labor'
erS and friends.

no response has yet been re-

being pursued, with chance of capture.
They are changing their original route.
A handsome reward is offered for the
capture of both parties and their deliv-
cry to state officers. If the arrests are
effected they will be returned to Jack
son for trial under the law of 1882. Gov.
Lowry intends to prosecute all persons
party to the Offense, but gives no names
at present, though it is believed the
referee of the fight and officers of the
Queen and Crescent are among them.

After the first heat Rover was sold

the fourth heat Jimmie TruemOnt again
became favorite at $40 with the same
money offered for the field.
Lynn w. held his own as tavorite for
the 2:21 class trot, at SO against the

rain Was Drugged by Mitchell.
BALTIMORE, July 1.-THE statement
that Kilrain was drugged finds support
among the Baltimore sports who wit
messed the fight. but the motive seems
to have been to deaden pain rather than
to cause his defeat. In the third round,
after Sullivan delivered his tremendous
blow over Kilrain's heart, Mitchell held
to his mouth sponge dipped in a
bucket, and after that Jake fought as if
in a trance. Mitchell purchased in
Baltimore drug which acts directly on
the heart and benumbs the nervous
sensibilities. The blow oyer the heart
caused a slowing up of the hearts ac-
ton, and after administering the dose,
whisky, to exhiliarate the hearts ac-
ton, should have been given. A Bal
timore physician says:
''Kilrain was overtrained and believe the
rapid reduction in his weight was not eff
fected by hard work but by powerful cathar-
tic medicines. His nerves were unstrung,
he was shoulder bound behind and in no
condition to go into the ring

Notes, Incidents and Personal



Comment Of the Track.
Bruno Beaupre paced an exhibition
heat with his famous team, frankie B
and Sleepy Fred. The circumstances,
however, we're not favorable. Mr..
Beaupre drove the team in from st.
Paul, and expected to make the circuit
while the horses were warm; but he ar
rived at an inopportune time, and was
compelled to wait and then start
after the horses had cooled down.
STILL he made a good mile.
The match horses went around like
clockwork, and never missed step.
The quarter was made in :35, the half in
Ill, the three-quarters in 1:4s11z and
the mile in 1926. The team has rec
ord of 1922. but Col. Smith compli-
mented the trial as very creditable.
Mr.. Beaupre was presented with
handsome bouquet. He explained aft
erward that one of his horses kicked a
boot off, which had some effect on their
speed.

The wind of Wednesday had moderated

true, was the verdict of the best judges,

Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1889-12-20

Those members of the legislature who
feel any impulse towards wild legislation
arising arising out of the belief that the
overwhelming Democratic majority in that
body comes from the fact that the Demo-
cratic party swung the State of Virginia
by the tail in the November election, would
do well to thoughtfully read the following
remark of Hon. John S. Barbour, made to
the Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee of Michigan last week. The
Michigan Chairman, Hon. I. NJ Weston,
was congratulating MI. Barbour on his
big Virginia majority and got this reply:
"Well, of course we Democrats of Virginia
are very we'll pleased at the result, but you
must remember that it isn't quite as much Of
Democratic victory as appears on its face
MI Malone did not represent the real strength
of his party. That was not what the people of
the North believed, and especially the Ad-
minstration, the mistake they made being that
they thought Mahone's strength was greater
than that of his party, while in reality it was
less"
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1889-12-20
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Last week by noticeable synchronism,
two Republican members of the Virginia
legislature, Nh. Acker of Rockingham, IN
the Senate, and Mr.. Vanwater of Gooch-
land, in the House, offered resolutions ask
ing the Governor to appoint to the post OF
Commissioner Of Agriculture practical
farmer
The general impression in Virginia was
when Col. Thomas Whitehead was elected
Commissioner of Agriculture, that the
Democratic party of the State had given
to the farmers thereof practical farmer.
At the time of his election he and his sons
were working, with their own hands, three
farms which they had rented to make their
living from. More practical farming than
this it would be hard to find; indeed, if any
thing, it is more practical than those who
work hundreds of ancestral acres because
they have to-belng unable to get rid OF
them. Col. Whitehead made living for
himself and family from the rented farms
and left the land in an improved condition.
When he became Commissioner OF Ag-
riculture he also madea practical Commls-
sioner. He worked and attended to that
Office as he had the three farms. He col!ec
ted information to attract immigration,
made speeches through the State, called the
attention of the world to Virginia lands,
and has done his duty thoroughly. So
thoroughly that the work he has written.
s'Virginia as she is,'' calling attention to
the advantages Of our lands for settlers, has
been reprinted by a London firm and is be-
ing sold throughout England. There is no
reason under heaven, that we have heard, to
make any change in this office.
1t may be that he made a campaign
speech OF two against candidate Malone
last fall. But Democratic legislature is
not in the habit of turning out Democrats
for this venal offence.
Or it may be that the chronic Office seek
ers having been defeated in their onslaught
on the main body of old capitol officers this
month, think they see in the Commission
ership Of Agriculture, a straggler, away
from the main body who may be captured
But whatever may be the motive it vii
give no pleasure to the farmers and lane
owners Of Virginia to see so active and val
liable Commissioner as Col. Whitehead
has made, displaced to make a place fol
any man, no matter who he be.
In connection with the subject in question
the Senate has passed a bill taking the ap
pointment of Commissioner Of Agriculture
out of the hands of the Governor and max
ing the Commissioner elective by the legis
lature. This is commendable for two
reasons-the office of Governor should have
as little patronage attached to it as possible
and the representatives of the farmers, who
are found in the Legislature, should make
the choice for their constituents.

Quite a change has come over both I'll

Quite a change has come over both the
color and sex of the Republican party that
President Harrison started out to build I'D
at the South. He pegged away at a ''white
mans" party until after Malone S
defeat when he seemed to give it up. His
Postmaster General, Wanamaker, is now
essaying to build up a Republican party at
the South of another sex by appointing
colored women to be postmasters. He has
appointed negro woman postmistress at
Eola, Avoyelles parish, La. This is not
for the benefit of the people of the town,
for they had an excellent postmaster, a
worthy man, who, after much pursuasion
had taken it. 1t was simply an i'll judged
insult to community that could not help
themselves.

A REMEMBRANCE FOR CHRLSTMAS

A REMEMBRANCE FOR CHRISTMAS.
There will be many happy people this
Christmas season. The custom of giving
makes it for young people the season of the
year, and with the older ones, spices the
day with fragrant pleasure. 1t would be a
great pity if at this birthday season of
Jesus, we overlooked those who in the
world were nearest of all to his heart.
They were constantly on his mind and he
made them a bequest to those who came
after him. 1t is legacy that proves its
own legitimacy, for no man, noble OF serf,
millionaire OF pauper ever yet struck out
of the main road into the firm path of a
better life that he did not take his fellow
man, especially the poor, closer to his
heart.
1t is often that the poor-they are help
less, accomplishing sort Of folk, and have
not many friends to speak for them-are
overlooked at this joyous season. Not for
lack of charity, not from parsimony, but
simply because one does not know where to
find them OF how to provide for them.
The good women of the City Mission for
the Poor of Staunton will this year save
us all this trouble. They will collect the
money and, knowing who the needy are,
| will spend it as the donors would wish it
spent. They have prepared envelopes and
will send them through the post-office to
every individual. Each of those envelopes
encloses another, and in that other they ask
that any contribution you can giveto aid the
poor may be enclosed and dropped in the
post-office. Don't overlook those envelopes
OF put the matter off till a more convenient
season; attend to it before you forget it!
The City Mission has done great good, but
we question if they ever undertook any
thing more seasonable for the poor, and
more convenient for the charitable.
1t would be white stone in the history
Of any toWn-a Christmas day where there
was not a man OF woman in want. Let us
be liberal with these City Mission envel-
opes and try and have such awhile stone in
the history of Staunton.
