His Race Meeting beats a Camp Meeting
for Attendance.

SARANAC, Mich, July 2G.-Great
crowds have been pouring in here since
daybreak to witness Parson Arney's
race meeting at the Saranac driving
park. The novelty of the affair is re-
sponsiblc for the large attendance, and
there are large ~contingcnts OF horsemen
from Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids
and Saginaw. The Rev, j. w. Arney is
the pastor OF tho Methodist Episcopal
church Of this city. the most popular
preacher for miles around, and stands
high in the confidence of the people Of
all denominations. lie is the only par
son in the country who owns n string Of
trotters and he is proud of it In the
races today all his animals are
entered. The parson can be seen almost
every day IN his light rugged cart be-
hind his little trotter. Up to today he
has been firmly Of opinion that his bay
mare, Aimee $3.50, by Montgomery 2:2l4,
out of 4 dam by Rob Roy 2:30, can out
irOt any 3-year-old in western Michi-
gan, balf-mile heats, best three in five,
no bets or stakes, all for love of the
thing. The parson reads ali the horse
papers, files Of which can be found on
his parlor table, alongside the Bible
and the life of John Wesley. A good
days sport is promised for today. The
races open shortly before II o'clock
With the three minute trots and heats
alternating with that OF tho 3-year-old
races. The crowd takes a recess at
neon for dinner, and the racing is re-
sumcd two hours later. This afternoons
program includes a $3.50 open
for all and a number of specials,

an opportunity for exhibiting
the driving Of horses OF Saranac and the
vicinity. The programme alludes to all
the events as meetings instead of races.

an extremely well educated man of 80,
and has acceptably filled many impor-
tant charges. He Is greatly beloved by
the people OF this city, who contend
that as everybody has a trotter of some
kind the parson has as much right to
indulge his fancy in that respect as any
one else.

A QUEER DECISION
~lnjunctions Granted Against Orig
inal Package Houses.
A Great Plan for Extensive Irriga-
LONESOME Political Predictions
Other South Dakota News.

Judge Haney has sustained the tenn
porary injunction closing original pack
age houses in Chamberlain. The grounds
given are that the enabling act ad-
hitting South Dakota 10 statehood au-
thorized the enactment ofthe prohibition
clause in the state constitution. Such
enabling act having been passed by con-
gress subsequent to the passage of the
interstate commerce law, therefore the
prohibition amendment has received the
sanction of congress, and the supreme
court decision does not, therefore, apply
10 South Dakota. This brings up a new
question which will be carried up and
which, if sustained, will be OF great inn
p~ortance to all Of the new states which
adopted prohibition.
