Fourth of July Races.

The races July 4th promise to be
most exciting. All the horses at the
track are getting in fine fettle. Daisy
B. is showing up better each day;
Starmount will be some day Crack
er Jack" sure; Old John cut his quar-
ter and it is giving him the rest that
is needed to make him winner. Ev-
erybody should turn out and see
rare days sport.
We have seen advertising matter
from Browns Valley and Graceyille
claiming Sleepy Cap, and in fact, all
our trotters and runners will race at
their towns ON the 4th of July. AS
their owners can't afford to have their
horses cut in two for the accommoda-
ton of both those windy, bunkum
villages, the horses, whole and in fine
fettle, will positively race in Morris
July 4th. They and many more fast
ones from Minneapolis, Benson, Will
mar, Herman and johnson are already
entered for the races here.

read again a. in the Gre
alton by the poet OF TINS horse race he
tells that the ''bag of bones" was an an
cient racer of royal blood. Though
aged, feeble and crippled, as soon as
he stepped on the turf the fire of old,
his inheritance from generations of
racers, was again rekindled, the shack
les of time were thrown off, the cour-
age of "blue blood carried the "old
bag of bones" on to victory. So much
for fiction. In this day such an ami
NAL would be called ringer" the
horse and owner expelled from the
track for such jobbery.
Look through the records: M'Calfs
Racing Chronicle, Picks Turf Regis
ter, Wallace's Year Book. Be it runner
or trotter, the game winner, the fleet
est racer was backed by blood.
The records of horses are not based
on poetry. Wallace's Register, which
has accurate history of all trotters
and PAGERS sold three months ago fo1
100000. No scrub ever made rec
ord breaker. Find one if you can
But intelligent breeding has given us
trotters: Maud S, by Harold, 2:OSa;
Jay Eye See, by Dictator, 2:1O; Sunol
(3-yr. old) by Electioneer, 2:1Oa; Guy,
by Kentucky Prince, 2:l0a; Nelson,
by Young Rolfe, 2:10a; Stamboul, by
Sultan, 2:11; Axtel, (3-yr. old) by Will

Hal, 2:O9a; Cricket, by steinway, 2:10;
Gold Leaf, by Sidney, 2:114; Little
Brown jug, by Tom Hal, 2:119.
Breeding of trotters and PAGERS is
not carried On by fools and spend
thrifts. Trotting races on National
and American tracks are governed by
most rigid laws. The successful breed
ers of the United States are gentle
men and breed to the bluest to get the
fastest. Horseuen, learn to know
pedigrees. You can't get too many
"horses in town with pedigrees." Any
one who knows about horses should
have knowledge that it is most easy
matter to ascertain whether or not a
pedigree is true or 'fixed."

foal in Stevens county. There is no
question but what his sire had some
trotting blood, and that small parti-
Gle of the racing blood won the race
referred to for Honest John. He had
been working hard for months. His
owner gave him rest prior to the
race. The track was heavy during
that period and John had no chance
to be tracked, and, mark you, that is
what saved the day for him. Had he
been subjected to the usual course of
training" he would have been all
strung out" The plebian blood
would have smothered the small par
ticle of patrician blood. The greater
the per centage of blue blood the finer
you can "draw them"-the harder the
muscle, the higher they are "keyed
up" the more courage they have for
the battle. You have only to review
the racing annals to see this is ever
the story.
AS to 'every horse in town having
pedigree" there are but five or six
standard horses in the county. A
number of our citizens have started in
the right direction in breeding, and
there are some good young colts.
"Pedigrees are easy to get" Yes
Well, if you want the best here is what
you have to pay for stud fee, as a
starter: Red Wilkes, $1,000; Axtel
$1,000; Nutwood, $1,000; Allerton
$1,000; Baron Wilkes, $500; Chimes
$500; William L, $500, etc. Yearline
colts of these families sell at public
auction for from $4,000 to $4,000
three and four year olds, $55, 900 and
$1O3, 600, private sale. They are worth
it, for in all business the tangible val
ue of any piece of property is based
upon it's revenue earning capacity
The American Trotter says: youth,
full breeders will yet see many trotting
colts and fillies that by the close o1
their four year old season have won
$4,000 to $4,000, occasionally close
to 100000 People who follow run,
ming horses are generally 80 per cent
gamblers and only 10 per cent horse
lovers. People who follow trotters are
80 per cent horse lovers" These low
ers of horses are some of our most
prominent, honorable and successful
business men of the United States
Look at our own state: Pillsbury anC
Pratt, A. J. Sawyer, A. G. Bruce, DR.
o. G. Evans, of Minneapolis; G. W
Sherwood, Gov. Merriam, of St. Paul
M. T. Grattan, of Preston. They anC
many others engage in breeding, no
simply to satisfy fancy" but i
is growing each year to be most lu
crative pursuit. There is a greater de
mand this season for horses from fash
ionable families than ever, not only fo
our own market, but those of foreign
countries. England, Germany ant
South America are learning to appre
ciate American trotters and are buyer
"at long prices"
Stevens county breeders, do not b.
discouraged by stuff. Breed; breet
to the best. "Blood tells"

Water Works-A&aisss~~~'~~

We have carefully read the ordi-
nance which the grantees of the pro-
posed water works system ask our
village council to adopt, and we can
not for the life of us see anything
unjust or or unfair in its provisions.
It seems to us that should it be adj
opted the council would be complete
master of the situation and have the
whole thing under its control.
The ordinance gives the grantees
the right to lay water mains along
our streets and alleys, but not to un-
necessarily obstruct or damage the
same; to furnish the village and its
inhabitants with a sufficient supply
of water from the Pomme de Terre
river, or from the source from which
said river is furnished; to construct
hydrants to be used for fire protec-
ton and street sprinkling; that said
water supply for fire purposes shall
be sufficient for four fire streams from
four hvdrants, each stream using one
hundred feet of two and one-half inch
hose with one inch rising nozzles, and
said stream shall reach verticle
height of fifty feet in still air."
The council to designate the number
of hydrants that shall be constructed
for the use of the village. The gran
tees are to supply any and all the in
habitants of the village upon the pipe
lines for any and all purposes, under
reasonable regulations. The rates to
be charged shall III all cases be just
and reasonable" If the schedule of
prices for water prepared by the gran
tees is considered to lee unreasonable
or excessive, the council shall prepare
and submit to the grantees a sched-
ule of prices. If not accepted by the
grantees the matter shall be submit
ted to three disinterested arbitrators.
After the price is fixed it shall remain
in force five years. At the expiration
of that time new schedule may be
adopted if thought necessary. The
rates of water toll are to be so fixed
that the rate of interest, profit or di-
vidend shall be eight per cent per
annum on the capital invested by the
grantees.
The franchise is to be granted for
fifty years; but On the expiration OF
twenty-five years the village has the
right to purchase the water works
system, or on the expiration of any
five-year period thereafter.
1t is also provided that the grantees
shall within two years after accepting
the franchise commence the construc-
ton of said waaer works system, and
shall have the same in operation so as
to supply the village and its inhabi-
tants with water on Or before the first
day of January, 1896.
We have not attempted to give in
this article all the details contained
in the aforesaid ordinance, but some
of the most important provisions, and
we repeat what waE4sd ~ IL Conn
mencement, we see nothing unjust or
unfair in the ordinance, and we think
the council would act wisely in pass
ing it. Possibly some slight altera-
tions should be made, but in the main
we believe it to be all right.
Wehave not examined the ordinance
in relation to electric lights, and are
not prepared at this time to express
an opinion in relation to the same.
Morris tribune., 1891-07-01
Calamity PETER.

Senator PETER of Kansas made a
speech recently in New York City, in
which he tried to picture the condi
ton of the country in the most sombre
and melancholy colors. He said among
other things that half the farms of this
country are mortgaged for more than
they are worth. eff the whole state of
Kansas were put up at auction at
thirty days notice it would not bring
enough to pay her Indebtedness. I
make the same assertion regarding
every agricultural state in the country.
We are not starving in Kansas. We
propose to pay our debts, but we can't
pay ten per cent debt out of a two
per cent business. The farms are
worth little more than the debts
upon them, but the railroads of the
the state owe four or five times their
value
There is no better way to describe
such talk than to call it "Pefferism." F"
Senator PETER is the product of Ca
lamity himself. If there had been nc
bad droughts and short crops in Kan
sas, the worlds catalogue of great
men would never have been enriched
with the name of PETER. Having
thriven on misfortune, Mr.. PETER be-
lieves it his duty to keep up the inn
preston that the country is going to
the dogs. The facts and figures,
however, are stubbornly against him
The Kansas farmer now begins to see
the end of many of the difficulties
with which he had to contend in the
past three or four years. There will
be little real necessity this year for the
calamity in Kansas. There are very
few industrious farmers in that state
VINO will not find a good balance on
the right side of the ledger at the end
of this season. That will be the end
of Mr.. PETER. He will sit in the
United States Senate for six years
and do his best to say solemn things
in the most solemn way, but they viii
have as much influence on the policy
and progress of the country as the
midnight croakings of a lonesome
bull-frog. Mr.. PETER has mistaken
his country and his mission. There
is no room here for a calamity party
and there is no time for Pefferism.
