Sixth dam by Blackburn's Whip.
Seventh dam by Sir Peter Teagle,
son of Duroc by imported Diomed.
This horse traces four times to the
great imported Doomed.
Happy Medium 400 has sired fifty
one in the 2:30 list, headed by Maxey
Cobb 2:13 IA. He was not only q sire
of trotters, but bred On both sons and
daughters as has been shown by the
performance of Jack 2:15 and Lady
Boullion 2:18 Ia, two of the greatest
horses on the turf of 1889. His daugh-
ers have produced De Barry 2:19 IL,
Irma g years. 200 and many others.
He has sired more trotters than any
horse that eve lived except Blue Bull
and George Wilkes.
In offering the service of these horses
to the public I can safely say that they
are the best bred stock that has ever
made a season in this section. Not
only sired by one of the great sires of
the age, but the sires of their first and
second dams have sired trotters and
backed by the best of thoroughbred.
Will make the season at my stables

HIS COURT
Judge Burckhartt Called to Ap.
pear Before a Higher Bar.

MoBERLY, NO., April 21.-Judge
George II. Burckhartt, of the
Second judicial Circuit, died al
$50 o'clock tonight, at mis- home
at Huntsville. Seven days ago thu
Judge called his family around hin
and babe them good by, believing
his last moments had come. AL
those near HIM believed he woule
die at that time, but he fingered
until to-day. Hypodermic injec
tions were administered to kee1
him alive in the hope that hs
would yet rally and recover, bu'
the hope was vain. For four day.
he had taken no nourishment ane
has been slowly dying, not being
able to utter a word.
Up to a few days ago he coule
recognize those about him bu'
would pass off into a deep sleep
and in his troubled state of mine
think he was trying cases, telling
the clerk to poll the jury. Their
he would charge the jury, as in his
best days, and afterwards, in his
imagination, try the case or dismiss
the whole matter, as if weary 0:
the contest. These imaginary
trials were gone through many
times during the greater part of his
illness, but now the good ole
Judge, who was never known tc
miss a court for % years, is dead.
Judge Burckhartt tor a quarter Of
a century was one Of the best
known and most highly esteemed
men in this part of the State, and
especially in Randolph County,
where he had resided all his life,
being a native of Randolph county,
born September Is, 1928, and had
he lived until next September
would have been IS years of age.
His father was George Burckhartt,
who was reared in Frederick
County, Maryland, and came to
Missouri in 1916, and it was at the
family homestead, six miles south
east of Huntsville, that the subject
of this sketch was born.
In 1852 he was first elected
Judge of the Second Judicial Cir
cult, and reelected in 1854. Sub
sequently he was appointed Judge
of that circuit by Gov. Fletcher
when the convention of 1865
ousted all the judges of theSta and
was again reelected in 1858. Since
then he had been consecutively re-
elected and held the office contin-
uously up to his death, SO that he
had held the Office for three years
more than a quarter of a century.
During all this long time of service
every member of the present Ran
bar-except probably one,
Hon. II. M. Porter-had been adj
mitted to practice by him.

the other day on the walls of the

He worked directly under the eye
of the treasurer and some guards.
In just sixteen and a half minutes
he had made a hole big enough to

F. and l.. u, held April 10,

and VIM. Steffens were appointed
to draft and present for the con-
sideration of the Union, a set OF
resolutions expressive of the senti'
ments of this lodge in regard te
the late action of the County Board
of Equalization in reducing the
assessment on certain proper.
ty. They reported the following
which were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, The Board of Equal
zation at it's last session in Mexico
reduced the assessment on banks,
money, notes, bonds and other Sc
cur1ties; and,
WHEREAS, We believe that said
action of the Board discriminates
unjustly in favor of such property
and against farms and farm prop.
erty. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the action of said
Board in the opinion of this lodge,
is a direct violation of the rights OF
the agricultural and laboring class
es and is calculated to foster and
build a class property of ready
paying dividends far in excess Of
any other property in the county.
Resolved, That we demand the
immediate reconsideration and res
ending of said action of the Board.
Resolved, That we ask every Un-
ion in the county to join US in con-
demning in a suitable but unmis-
taxable manner this fragrant vio-
lation OF our rights.
Resolved, That we regard this &C.
ton of our Board of Equalization
as being in keeping with that class
legislation in the high places of the
nation by which the farmer is sold
for the purpose of repleting the
Golfers of the millionaire.
Resolued, That in case the Board
refuse or neglect to rescind this or
der that we recommend a grand
county mass meeting of classes in
juriousiy affected by the same be
called for the purpose of express
ing our indignation, and for the
purpose of calling out and endors-
ing a set of candidates for the
county judgship and assessorship
who will fully pledge themselves
to respect the rights of the people
and to see that the law requiring
all property to be assessed at its
real cash value be carried out.
Resolved, That the county papers
be requested to publish this resolu-
ton.
