DICK SMITH AT DETROIT,
Driven by Carter Il Trial Heat
in 2:16-Acted Badly in
the Race.

The day Dick Smith was enter
ed to trot at Detroit was "Blue
Ribbon Day. everybody was aG-
mitted free and such a crowd was
never seen or a race course before.
The grand stand, fences, trees and
grounds were full of people. Just
prior to calling the horses on the
track for positions Dick Smith
was examined and found to be in
tirst-class condition. He had been
worked on the Detroit track for
several days and showed wonderful
speed. He was driven, we are
told, a trial the full mile out in
ZIG. All of Carter's friends and
the horses admirers were so sure
Dick would WIN the race hands
down that large sums of money
were placed on him. It was a
well known fact he had more speed
and better staying qualities than
his compeitito RS. He had been
handled with great are and in the
fast work given him by Carter the
horse acted finely, rarely if ever
leaving his feet. In the race
Garter drew the poll and held first
position. Everything was working
nicely, and in driving up and
down the course before the start
Dick showed his great speed and
was cheered Justify by thousands.
1t should have been a red letter
day for horse and driver but in
stead it proved to be a failure.
The horses got off we'll but Smith
left his feet and acted badly. He
was steadyed and went up to the
gang like a flash and was forging to
the front when he again went into
the air. He was brought down
again and the third time did the
identical same thing, when the flag
dropped and he was distanced.
The race then belonged to Nc
Douel, (Sedalia Boy) driven by
| Budd Doble. If Smith had been
able to get inside the flag he would
undoubtedly have been the winner,
in which event he was sold for
$4,000 and Carter would have
secured a high salaried position as
his driver. It is said that Carter
was greatly excited; it was the
event Of his life as a driver-all
was at stake. When he got off his
sulky he told his friends he would
never draw rein over the horse
again. Jack Harrison, the owner of
Dick, was present and prevailed
upon Carter to take the horse to
Cleveland, where he will trot this
week.
So certain were some of the st.
Louis boys that Dick would win
the race, they took along a carpet
sack to bring back the money in.
Carter will have Maud Neff, the
PAGER, at Cleveland this week.
She is very speedy and it is believ-
ed will equal Johnston's time.
When it became known here
that Dick Smith had been dlstanc-
ed there was much disappointment,
as a great performance was expect
ed of him at Detroit. The friends
of Smith are willing to go all they
are worth that he can beat Sedalia
Boy three best out of five heats.

ECHOES OF THE CRUSADE.
Rev. j. l.. Carmichael, OF
LathrOp, Mo-, Sued for
Damages.

LATARoP, Mo-, July 25.-This
morning Willard M. Waers, a
prominent member of the Baptist
Church, by his attorney, John A.
Cross, brought suit against Rev.
J. l.. Carmichael, until recently
the pastor of the church, for $5,-
600 damages for SANDER. The
elder at once retained F. B. Ellis,
and in his answer made a general
denial of all the charges, and will
fight the case vigorously. Waers
claims that the elder at various
times and to various parties charg-
cd him with being unduly intimate
with Mrs. Carmichael. Waers is a
married man, and has always
borne an unsullied reputation.
The case will be a sensational one,
- it will involve everything shown
up IN the recent church and divorce
trial i'll which the elder and his
wife figured SO prominently.

Harry A. FELTON,, Of st. Louis,
Instantly Killed.
HE FALLS FROM A WINDOW IN THE
WINDSOR HOTEL AND IS FRIGHT
FULLY MANGLED.
Some Think 1t Was a Suicide, but This
is Not Probable-Been on Q Spree
for Some D~ays-Drunk When
He Fell.

About 4 p. m. last Saturday a
man who had been stopping at the
Windsor Hotel for the past ten
days, named Harry A. FELTON,,
representing the publishing house
of P. F. Collier, New York, fell
from the fourth story of the
hotel building and was almost in
stantly killed. FELTON, lived in
St. Louis, where his young wife
and child are now, residing on
Washington Avenue, between Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth streets, at
what number could not be ascer-
tanned. The dead man had room
No. As on the fourth floor of the
hotel and about 10 minutes to 4
was seen to go upstairs in an in.
toxicated condition. Ten minutes
later he fell from the window OF
his room, alighting on the roof Of
the kitchen and finally falling to
the ground, in all a distance of
about 60 or 70 feet. Several per-
sons were sitting in the court yard
OF the hotel but none of them saw
the man until after he had fallen
from the window. As soon as he
struck the ground assistance quick
ly arrived but nothing could be
done for the unfortunate man. The
last breath left the body in half an
hour from the time he fell. Eel
ton was rather a heavy set,
sandy Completed man and was
about 80 years old. He had
been drinking heavily for about
a week or possibly longer
and seemed to have no control
over his appetite for liquor. He
was said to have been an intel.
ligent, genial. whole-souled man,
and was generally liked by those
with whom he came in contact in a
business way. His partner, E. A.
Wales, connected with the same
house, is in the city and was sum-
moned as quickly as possible.
He asked DR.. Nichols If there was
no hope,to which the Dr.. answered,
"None, whatever" FELTON, was
then gasping his last breath. The
sight of his mangled form made
everyone shudder and turn away
from the scene. The wife Of Eel.
ton was notified by telegraph as
were also his house and a number
of friends. Some advance the idea
that 1t is a case of suicide but those
who know FELTON, best think he
did not kill himself, but that he
went to his room drunk and in
going to the window for some pur.
pose or other fell out. This is
most likely the case.

lowing named jury, which found

AN INTERESTING MEETING.

At union meeting of the North
and South churches Sunday evening,
Rev. J. c. Aganier of Denver, Col,
strongly deprecated the influence of
Romanism as alien to the principles
of our republic. He had himself been
converted to Professionalism from the
faith of his fathers by the convincing
evidence of the superior intelligence
and character of a people trained to
study the Bible and think for them
selves. The account of his first
acquaintance with the Scriptures
and the effect of Divine truth then
felt for the first time was of great
interest. Born in Canada, but new
born in New England, he spoke
eloquently of the worth Of New Eng
land ideas, and the necessity of main
tanning them with open Bible and
free schools.

Farmers League Meeting.

The Barnet Farmers League met
at the school house in district No. 10
on the evening of June 26 and organ
lied and set forth their belief and
intentions in the following pre-
amble:
Whereas all government ought to be sup
ported for the security and protection of the
whole community such, and to enable the
individuals who compose it to enjoy their
natural rights and the blessings which the
Author of existence has bestowed upon man
and when those great ends of government
are not obtained, the people have a right to
take such measures for reform to them
may appear necessary to promote their wei
fare and happiness.
And whereas the state legislature has been
run by party leaders, politicians, rings and
corporations to further their own interests.
And whereas they have taken the manage
ment of the common schools out of the local
inhabitants hands and from the towns and
disadvantage of the people and making more
expense, also creating new offices to be filled
by with high salary and by un-
reasonable appropriations to schools or
colleges or to private enterprises.
And whereas the farmer feels the burden of
taxation constantly growing more burden
some; Therefore it is absolutely necessary for
the welfare of the inhabitants of this state
and being fully convinced that it is our indis-
pcnSibIe duty and that the time has come for
the farmers to unite and make their influence
felt in legislati
Therefore, we believe 1t to be our duty to
form n Farmers League and act together
throughout the state, and endeavor to do
away with such profiigate legisatio and
choose such men for Office as will act for the
best intererests of all the inhabitants of the
state

ton adopted:
