June. 1889.
The Ideal Policy Has 1t ever been
evolved ? Will it ever be forthcom-
ing7 What must he its characters-
tics2 Simplicity, certainly and liber-
ality. The former, because the heart
of man delights not in multtudinous
details, which are quite extraneous and
irrelevant to the subject in hand. The
latter, because a company that is worth
ones while to be in can afford to be
liberal, and ought to do all it can
afford. The tendency of the times is
ever toward this ideal and if it be a
foregone conclusion that it will never
be realized, the query slips out unbid
den, "What comes the nearest to 1t ?"
Well, it would be hard to find any
thing nearer the much-sought model
than the new policy of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, of which spe
cial announcement has recently been
made.

As life assuranced grows older,as ex-
perience accumulates, its path grows
clearer, and its functions become di-
vested Of the doubts and possibilities
of misunderstanding and hardship that
beset its earlier years. One after an
other its conditions have been settled
by legal construction, contingencies
met and overcome, and its beauteous
form now stands forth clearly defined.
Our progressive institutions have not
been slow in availing themselves of
these advantages, but it remained for
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
to frame new policy that embodies
them in form of wonderful simplicity,
Concision and clearness.

The Equitable Life Assurance Socie-
ty has, in the past, done more to
create and maintain confidence in
life assurance than any other company.
Consequently its business is larger
than that of any of its competitors.
Furthermore it has now taken a step
which practically sweeps every objec-
ton of the character referred to out of
the way. The result, undoubtedly,
will be that thousands of men who
have heretofore lacked confidence in
life assurance, will examine the new
policy offered by the Equitable, and
assure their lives forthwith.

AN EXCITING RACE.
The Best Yet Witnessed on the
HamIiue Grounds.

When the first bell rung for the third
race of the day, the Carnival stakes,
there was murmur of excitement all
over the grounds. 1t began in the bet
ting ring and spread to the stand, where
every man had favorite among the
bunch of handsome two-year-olds, and
was aching to get his money up. There
were seven starters, as clean built lot
of colts as ever went away at the tap
of drum. Marcus Daly'S rangy colt,
Brown Fox, named for his color. was
first favorite in the betting at odds of
to l. Sir Abner was pretty freely
bought at 3 to l, and Mountjoy had
friends at to 1. The odds against the
McGuigan stables entry, Chimes and
Linlithgow, were to l coupled, while
Donatello sold at four, and Letcher's
brown colt, Harry Ray, start
ed under odds Of 10 to l.
Brown Fox was. the talk from early
morning until the bugler sent them
down to the start. Brown Fox, the
knowing ones said. was a Sinch, and
good enough to bet million on, but in
a field of untried youngsters it didn't
look good enough for the crowd, and
the brown colt carried but little money.
There was some time lost at the post,
Sir Abner breaking away and acting
badly, but at last they came down in
bunch and were sent away in as pretty
a start as ever mortal man gaZed Oh.
Down past the stand, through the
gauntlet of bowling multitude,
Francis cracking Mountjoy along. at
first place, a length from Donatello at
second, with Chimes, under young
Eilke, at his girth, and Harry Ray tail
ing the bunch. ''Bet you $50 the stable
runs one two," yelled sport in loud
checks and patent feathers, as Nc
Guigan's chestnut Chimes pulled out of
the bunch and stole the lead from
Mountjoy. Davis was bringing Lin
lithgow up on the outside at crack
ing pace, and the offer of the loudly
dressed youth met with no response.
AS they neared the quarter Tompklns
leaned forward and whispered arequest
in Donatello's off ear. The chest
nut shook his head in assent and
went ahead like flash, past Mountjoy,
Chimes and Linlithgow, and led them
at the quarter by half a length. Its
anybody'S race" yelled dozen men in
chorus, and the youth in the checks,
who favored the stables entry hadn't t
word to say. Here they come to the
second quarter. with Donatello still lead
ing by less than length from Chimes,
Sir Abner third by neck. Brown
Fox, under pull, fourth; the field
right at their heels, and Harry Ray still
failing the bunch. Now for the stretch.
They make the turn under blanket,
with Sir Abner leading by nose from
Donatello, under the whip; Brown Fox

WINoNA, July 25.-Shortly before III
o'clock tonight fire was discovered in
the dry kiln of Youmans Bros. & Hod-
gins lumber yard. in the First ward.
The flames spread so rapidly that the
destruction of many adjoining business
blocks was threatened. By efficient
work the fremen confined the fire to
the half block containing the dry kiln,
sheds and other small buildings. The
$4,000 residence of Hon. E. S.Youmans
was saved by the work of citizens who
organized bucket brigade. Neighbors
gathered their cbattles in their houses
preparatory to moving out, but the fire
was at last gotten under control. Three
firemen narrowly escaped death be-
tween falling buildings, two emerging
as they fell and one being knocked down
and badly scorched. One dry kiln, four
shingle sheds, LOCO, 900 feet OF shingles
and 25O,OOO feet of lumber were de-
stroyed. Loss on buildings. $4,000;
total loss, $4,000; no insurance. The
property destroyed was the only portion
of the contents of the yards not insured.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 25.-In the
lower house of the legislature to-day a
resolution was introduced by Paddock,
of Kankakee, declaring it to be the
sense of the house that the worlds fair
should be held upon one site. There
was at once storm of opposition to the
resolution. it being declared out OF
order. and also that it was not the prov
lnce of the legislature to say anything
about the Site-that was matter which
belonged to the directors. The speaker,
however, ruled that the resolution was
in order. An Intellectual attempt was
made to table the resolution, but it was
finally referred to the joint committee.
A motion was then made to reconsider,
and after long debate it was carried,
thus bringing the resolution before the
house again. The motion to table it
was again made, but finally the resolu-
ton was made special order for Tues
day next.

was holding his hat on, and which

Talking of hair-breadth escapes, there
were no loss than a dozen people on
that train who were struck and more or
less injured by that same post. One
man came staggering in from the plat
form of the smoker with cash half an
inch deep in his head and covered with
blood. Another, lad about sixteen
named Chris Somers, was struck on the
arm and the limb was apparently dislo-
Gated. The attendance in the stand
and boxes was marked by an even larger
sprinkling of ladies than on Thursday,
and the Minnesota Driving club quar-
ters were again gay with fashionable
costuming. Late in the afternoon the
rain came, but it didn't come soon
enough to interfere with the best races
of the day. After the Carnival stakes
had been run. however, it came down in
earnest, and continuous rain fell until
the last race had been decided. The
fourth and fifth events were run on
very heavy track, and time was slow.

dawned bright and crisp; in fact. it was
perfect racing weather. The track was
in frst-rate condition after the light
rain of Thursday afternoon, and with
crack lot of flyers entered for the
various events, nothing was left to be
desired. A good deal Of excitement
was created at the grounds on the ar
rival of the first regular train from st.
Paul by rumor that W. L. Woodland,
one of the owners of the Derby winner,
Prince Fonso, had been run over and
killed by a short line train. Mr.. Wood

platform with the rest OF the crowd.
He was slightly dis6gured, but still in
