Given FrIghtfuI Punishment.

A shocking case of cruelty is reported
from Warsaw, Poland. A ten-year-old lad
got into a quarrel with the little daughter
of a Russian general. She struck him and
he struck her. The boy was arrested and
sentenced by Gourko, governor general of
the province, to receive twenty-five iashes
His guardian was compelled to do the fog
ging. At the seventh stroke the boy faint
ed, and the doctor said it would be danger
GUS to proceed. The guardian, Mr.. Olchef-
ski, wa horror stricken at the effect the
blows had produced. He angrily threw
the whip away and said the police might
close his cafe and ruin him If they chose,
but nothing should persuade him to finish
the hogging.
The police sent a dispatch to the COVER
nor general, asking for Instructions, and
relating all that had occurred. General
Gourko, hero of the Plevna pass, at OF )
telegraphed back that the flogging was o
be finished. The police, therefore, had to
give the unfortunate boy the remaining
eighteen blows. Insensible, covered with
blood, his flesh torn from his back, and in
a state of violent commissions, this young
boy was brought back to his widowed
mother. The unhappy woman had all this
time been kept in ignorance as to the fate
of her son.

Governor Boggs, predecessor of Governor
Reynolds, had ordered the expulsion of
the Mormons from the state, and had been
shot, but not killed, while sitting at an
open window. Governor Reynolds had
striven so earnestly to ave Joe Smith and
Port Rockwell extradited from Nauvoo,
Ills, that he had involved the two states
in a judicial conflict, so his suicide was
hailed by the Mormons as a Judgment"
Albert p. Morehouse was born July II,
1885. in Delaware o., and went to Nod
away county, Mo-, with his parents in
1856. His aged father still lives on the
old homestead. The son was admitted to
the bar at Maryville in 1850, took an active
part in politics as a Democrat, and after
holding minor offices was elected lieuten-
ant governor in 1884. On the death of
Governor Marmaduke he became governor
Dec. 90, 1887. Since retirement he has
been busy in the management of his

sonality is not lacking. 1t is found in C.
w. Williams, the master of Rush park,
where the meeting was held. His history,
in its way, is rs remarkable as the record
of the track which he owns. He is one of
the young men who has made fame and
fortune in the west. 1t wa but thirty
four years ago that he was born in New
York state. When eleven years old his
family move to Iowa, settling near indie
pendence.
In 1875 he was running a milk wagon in
Chicago. In 1876 he learned telegraphy
and was an operator for a time. Two
years later he started a creamery in indie
pendence and shortly afterward estab.
lished the Charles Creamery company in
Chicago. He made some money, but he
felt that he had not hit his calling. Sub
sequent events show that his feeling was
right. In some way his attention was led
to the turf He bought some land near In
dependence and made the beginning of
Rush park. This was but five years ago.
BY a stroke of good luck, or as a result
of good Judgment in breeding, the first two
colts foaled on his farm were Axtell and
Allerton. In the long history of the turf
these are the only two horses that, as
3-year-olds, could beat 2:9O. They made
Williams a fortune. Two years ago he sold
Axtell, who held the worlds stallion rec.
ord for 3year-olds-2:12-for s105, 600, the
largest sum ever paid for II single horse.
With the proceeds of this sale Williams
was enabled to realize his fond ambition
to have a great stock farm and a great
race track. This dual ambition is EN-.
bodied in Rush park. 1t has come to be,
with a jump, one of the first of American
breeding farms for t~rotters, and its kite
shape track, original with Williams, is the
fastest in either hemisphere. The first
great trotting meeting was held IN it in
August, 1890. In the annals of harness
speed it stood unrivaled until the meeting
of this year. If the history of the track is
to be one of progression, of which its own
er is sanguine, the most speculative Amer.
lean will hardly venture a prediction as to
trotting records of the future.
Williams is a man of pluck and nerve
BE is a planner and thinker of the most
practical sort. He brings things to pass.
In view of his achievements it is not hard
to agree with him in the belief that the
things which he has lone are but a fore
cast of the things which he will do. He
proposes to make of the prairie own OF
Independence the most conspicuous point
in the trotting world, and there are many
who think that he will succeed.

NELSON AT THE FINISH Of HIS 2:10H MILE.
GFrom an instantaneous photograph
As was to be expected these superb prizes
brought hundreds of entries to the famous
kite shaped track-the fastest, it is said, in
the world. Record smashing was the or
der OF the meet.
In the event par excellence of the meet,
the race for the 5-year-old stake of 5000,
Nancy Hanks, with Allerton and Margaret
S as competitors, made the heats in 2:12,
2:12A and Big respectively. These are the
fastest three heats ever trotted in a race on
any track in the world. Monbars beat the
2-year-old stallion record, made by Regal
Wilkes in 2:20A, by going a mile in 2:20.
Faustine made the three fastest heats ever
trotted by a 3-year-old stallion in a race,
taking them in 2:1sH, 2:17 and 2:1sH. The
great Nelson came to the home of Axtell
and Allerton, his associates in the trium-
yirate of speed, and equaled what was
then the worlds stallion record, made by
himself, by covering a mile in 2:10s4.
Not many days later on the same track
Allerton wrested from Nelson his hard
earned worlds laurels by covering a mile
in 2:1O, but Nelson did not allow Allerton
to long claim supremacy, for on Sept. IS
at Grand Rapids, Mich, the great Maine
stallion was driven by his owner G. II. Mel
son. in 2;10 also. Then came the greatest
triumph of the kite shaped track. Sept.

thus again taking first place, for a time at
least.

On Monday all was known, and the ma
chinery of the detective service was set In
operation. That morning Thomas d. Wal
lace, president of the Fidelity Trust com.
pany, received a remarkable letter from
Albertson. detailing all he had done and
proposing to return the securities, key of
the safe and directions for opening the
vault, on condition that Mr.. Wallace would
sign three papers herewith Enclosed" and
deliver them to Chandler at Browns
Point, on the ound. Mr.. Wallace signed
the agreements not to prosecute, rowed
alone to the point, found Chandler in the
woods, delivered the agreements and re-
ceived the securities, combination and key
as agreed. But just the same the I'M
went on.
The fugittves were sharp, but the hunt
ers were sharper still. Three times they
had Chandler located, but would not arrest
him till they could get Albertson too.
Twice "the game broke cover" as sports
man say of a deer-that is, they came out
through the Gordon and took a fresh start.
Once Chandler boldly rode down on a night
train from n station near Seattle, through
Tacoma and into Portland-this was the
night after he delivered the securities to.
President Wallace-and once the two sue
ceeded in making the public believe they
had got on a vessel and were off for South
America. But all this time they were in
the fountains.

though acquitted he lost a great deal of
money and was much broker up. That
sort Of life is too trying on the nervous
system. His course thereafter was slowly
downward. Now he is very old (he was
born in Pennsylvania In 1910 and depend
ent on charity.
In some countries ~brigandage is almost
a legitimate business, and from Chauncey
Depew's account of his journey in Greece
and Turkey it is there "A very well organ
lied business. A~thanasios, who neglected
the greatest chance of his life when he
failed to capture the Depew-Vanderbilt
special train, has established a regular
system of capturing foreigners and max
ing the sultan pay for their release or their
friends send ransom money. His biggest
capture was on the 3lst of May last, when
he took Il whole train load of Germans and
forced the sultan to give S25, 900 for them.
His admirers say that he will soon be rich
enough to compromise with the govern
ment; he will then accept a pardon and re-
tire to his native Greek village to pass a
serene old age. In his case the man hunt
ers seem to make no Roadway.
Every now and then some accident re-
veals the surprising fact that in a quiet
way the search is still going on for "Tas-
cott," the alleged murderer of Banker
Smell, for the supposed burglar who killed
Nathan in New York, and for other mys-
terious fugitives. These are not regular
hunts, but unemployed detectives try their
hands on them occasionally. 1t is not
true. however, that Murder will out"
The murderer escapes capture almost rs

route for all points east.
First, you can purchase through tickets
for all Eastern points and any cupon
ticket office in the West, over this line,
taking your choice of routes to the Mis-

Second, you can go either by the way
of Omaha or Kansas City at your pleas
ure.
Third, from either OF these points you
can have our choice Of FIVE distinct
routes, as follows:
Via the HANNIBAL AIR LINE,
which is the short line to the East
VIA ST. LOUIS. where close connec-
ton is made with all Eastern and South
eastern routes.
Via CHICAGO, the worlds fair city,
sometimes called the windy city"
VIA Toledo, Ohio's great inland city,
connecting at that place with the Lake
Shore fast trains for the East
Via. DETROIT, Michigan's prettiest
and most beautiful city, where Eastern
lines connect closely.
All of the above named points are
reached DICECT only by the WABASH
aud direct BY NO OTHER LINE
running from the West.
