NANCY HANKS EFFORT.
The Mare Fails to Break the Record nj
Terre Haute, Ind.

The Mare Fails to Break the Record at
Terre Haute, Ind.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. TO- A warm
er air and occasional glimpses of the
morning sun gave promise of a record
breaking day and $4,000 people jour
neyed to the track to see the events on
the programme, but when the unfin-
ished 2:23 pace was called at o'clock
a cooler northwest wind was blowing
and the knowing ones abandoned all
hope of seeing Nancy Hanks dethrone
Maud S.
After the second heat of the 2:21 trot
Doble appeared with Nancy Hanks 1t
was seen that the great mare was not
looking right, and as she scored down
the first time to go against the worlds
record she went to a bad break-some-
thing she was never known to do be-
fore On the third trial Doble nodded
for the word. She was at the half in
1868 and finished the mile in 2:11A.
Mr. Doble said he would make another
effort, but the best Nancy could do,
after bad break at the half, was the
mile in 2:13A. The judge announced
that the mare had been coughing for
several days and was not in racing
form.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-10-15
Declara ton of Purposes.

Whereas, the general condition of our coun
nimperatively demands unity of action on
he part of the laboring classes, reformation
ard economy, and the dissemination of prin-
cplcs best calculated TO encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, en-
tOurasing the toiling masses leading them
in the road to prosperity, and providing a
Just and fair remuneration for labor, a just
exchange for our commodities. and the best
means of securing TO the laboring classes the
greatest amount or good: we hold 10 tho
principle that all monopolies are dangerous
to the best interests of our country, tending
10 cnslave a free people and subvert and
finally overthrow tho great principles pur-
chased by the fathers of American liberty.
We therefore adopt the following as our
declaration of principles:
l. To labor for tn 2 educ ttion of the agricul-
hlra classes in the science of economical
government, in strictly nonpartisau spirit
aud bring about q more perfect union OF said
classes
= That we dem md equal rights to ALL and
special favors to none.
J. TO endorse the motto: 'In all things
essential, unity; and in all things charity.
l. To develop a better state mentally,
morally, socially and financially.
o. 10 constantly strNe 10 secure ehllre mar
mOny and good will TO all mankind and
botherly love among ourselves.
g. To suppress personal, local, sectional
and national prejudices, all unhealthy rivalry
and all selfish ambition.
:. The brightest jewels which it garners,
are the tears of the widows and orphans, and
It's imperative commands are to visit the
homes where acerated hearts are bleeding;
TO ssSuage the suffering of brother or q
sister; bury the dead, care tor the widows
and educate the orphans; to exercise charity
towards all offenders; TO construe words and
deeds in their most favorably lighr, granting
honesty of purpose and good intentions to
others and to protect the principles of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union until
death. Its laws are reason and equity; its
cardinal doctrines inspire purity of thought
and life it, intention is: 'On earth, peace
and good will to man."

BUSINESS IMPROVING.

Dun & Co. Notices a General Picking
Up.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10-R. G. Dun 81
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
From all parts of the west and south
comes advices that business is gradual
ly improving and the Improvement is
felt in eastern centers Purchases are
governed by unusual conservatism and
yet are large in volume. Failures are
rather numerous but are in nearly all
cases the results of long continued
commercial strain since the foreign
disasters of last November. 1t is true
that prices of nearly every manufac-
tured product are low and the margin
for profit very narrow, while the com
petition is severe. But the volume OF
trade is larger than in any preVl Gus
year, in spite of the fact that some
branches of business are retarded 1t is
also true that collections in some
quarters are slow. but the latest re-
ports from various sections are on the
whole more favorable.
The news regarding the chief indus
tries is decidedly favorable. The iron
industry is more firm in tone. 1t is felt
that the delay in the improvement of
the demand for rails is at present the
only barrier to a general advance.
