RIDING EXTRAORDINARY,

Remarkable Feat Performed By an English
HorsemAn.
Wagers amounting to many thousand
pounds were laid upon ride undertaken
by Mr.. Cowper, Thornhill. keeper of the
Bell Inn. in Huntingdonshire, England,
April 90, 1745. It was considered the
greatest feat of horsemanship performed
up to that time. A contemporary publi-
cation gives this account Of it: 'sHe set
out from his home, at Stilton, at four
o'clock in the morning, came to the
Queens Arms against Shoreditch, Lon.
don, in three hours and fifty-two min
utes; returned to Stilton again in four
hours and twelve minutes, and then
came back to London again In four hours
and thirteen minutes, for a wager Of 500
guineas. He was allowed fifteen hours
to perform it in. which is 213 miles, and
he did 1t in twelve hours and seventeen
minutes 1t is reckoned the greatest
performance of the kind ever yet known
The roads for many miles were lined
with people to see him pass and re-pass."
Another remarkable ride was that of
Robert Carey. from London to Edin-
burgh, to inform King James of the
death of Queen Elizabeth He set out
Thursday forenoon, and by night had
reached Doncaster, 155 miles away.
Next day he arrived at Witherington,
where he attended to various matters Of
business he would have arrived in
Edinburgh by noon of Saturday had he
not been thrown and kicked By his
horse. As it was he reached the Scotch
capital in the evening, having accom-
piished ride of fully 100 miles in the
daylight of three days.-Chicago News.

MooDY's TIN.

Senator MOODY, of South Dakota, has
been the representative OF the Home
stake Mining company rather than the
people OF that state. AS protectionist
he would erect veritable Chinese
wall about the country. He stated in
the senate that he would have the tariff
prohibitory in many cases. In recent
Interview at Washington he said:
l really believe that the adoption of the
protective duty on tin in the MCKINLEY bill |
saved the Republican party in South Dakota
from defeat That section of the state which
is directly interested in the protection of tin
ore turned out handsome Republican gain,
and the effect of the work of the citizens in
that section was felt throughout the state.
There were some gains in that sec
ton, but the most reliable information
has been that it was tin in nand and
not in the ground that did the convert
ing work. The monopolies could afford
very large expenditures to elect MEM
bers of the legislature who would vote
for their man. The prices are alleged to
nave gone far above all Indiana Drece-
dent. But the senator is not likely to
be himself one of the fruits of the Nc
KINLEY bill. Even if Republican is
elected, it is not probable that the Home
stake attorney will be the man. His
great achievement was securing duty
of four cents pound on tin ore, but it is
likely to be repealed before it goes into
effect in 1898. There are those who dis
credit the faith in Black Hills tin, as
profitable and considerable production.
They insist that the formation is such
as to render it undesirable to work. 1t
Is to be hoped they are in error. but in
the meantime South Dakota will find its
highest advantage in sending sound
tariff reformer to the senate to fill the
seat MOODY will hold down till the 4th
of March,

BEING FOUND OUT.

1t was a local pulpit expression Sun
day that the time will come when the
developments of medical science will
enable the expert physician to measure
with the most precise accuracy all the
physical forces. and determine to GER
tainty what effort of the body or mind
can be put forth safely. The strength
of Vitality can be tested by an infallible
machine, and the duration of eXis fence
foretold. Almost anything is possible
when the malevolent bacter a, bacilll,
germs and such are hunted down as the
causes of the most fatal diseases, and
an antidote provided for them. One of
the important assurances OF the recent
developments is that consumption is
contagious, and needs similar precau-
tions as in the case of diphtheria. This
is now required with the patients that
flock to Berlin to test DR.. KocH's lymph.
This is of much practical Importance.

The Democrats will be likely to gain
one seat in the state senate in North
Dakota by the contest of Judge BEN
NETT, who was the candidate in the Bot
ineau district. The judge filled the chair
at the state convention, and caught that
body completely by his mastery speech
and dignitied presence. lie has strong
grounds for contest, his defeat being
due to the laborS of an English rancher,
one LORD THURBER, who has vast
means to eXpend for friends, and his
effort was to gain vote for HANS
BRoUGH for senator. The consideration
of the case in the senate will apparently
depend upon the strength of the HANS
BRoUGH faction. Recent indications
are that he will not make much show,
and Judge BENNETT will have chance
for his rights.
