We Told You So.

A Columbus, Ohio, sPc"ia' to the
Western HOr-eman s.y~: 1t IL
stated that the directors OF the Go
Iumbus Driving Park Association
will decline 10 pay any part or the
$1,000 purse Offered TO the winner OF
the Hal Pointer-Direct race. III this
is done ii will be for the reason that
they do not consider the speeding a
bona fide race. The disappointed
spectators of the pace, which was
begun Thursday ana finished Friday,
have freely charged that the whole
Affair was a l,ippOdrome, and such
action OH the part of the directors
would probably meet public approval.
At meeting of the directors Friday
night, it Y as stated that there wac
some difficulty about a proposal to
deduct from the total purse the 800
paid to George Saunders for driving
Hal Pointer in the last heat. Mr..
Hamlin, the horses owner, thought
that as a change of drivers was made
by order of the directors, they should
pay the bill, and he refused to accept
the money with the deduction. 1t
developed later that the ques-
ton OF deducting the 500 for
George Saunders services in
driving the bay gelding the
last heat was only Il email part OF the
difficulty The mOmentous question
before the Board of Directors at their
Neill House meeting was whether or
not any of the purse should be paid
to Mr.. Salisbury or Mr.. Hamlin.
These gentlemen contracted with the
driving association to give bona fide
race for purse OF 5000, in which
there should be an exhibition OF
speed Of unusual and extraordinary
interest 1t is learned that vt their
meeting the directors failed to
agree az TO what they should do.
In fact the sentiment was against pay
ing a dollar of the purse. The meet
ing adjourned without any defiuite
action beingitaken, eXceptto postpone
final settlement for time. 1t is safe
to say that Messrs. Salisbury and
HamIin will have to demonstrate
that the race v as bona fide one, Of
extraordina speed, as promised in
the contract. From another source
it was learned that a veterinary sur
geon from Chicago was brought here
to keep Dire ct in shape to go at all"

Dogs as TrOtters.

j. B. Lewis, Cashier of the Com
mercial Bank, Belleville, Ohio, is an
ardent admirer and prominent breed
er of St. Bernard dogs; his smooth
Dated champion Vic or Joseph being
prize winner all over America, and
his Lord Hector is admitted to he the
hest smnOth-cOated st. B'rnaId now
III This country.
Mr.. Lewis is of the opinion that
these immenNe brutes can be made
useful as well as ornamental, and he
has laid down a trOtting track in the
grounds around the FernwoOd Ken
nels, and has had trOtting sulkies and
harness made for the big dogs. He
has in training several of them to
trot and pace. The great brutes seem
TO enjoy their novel occupation and
enter into the spirit of the races with
vim and determination to win; each
sulky is driven by boy. This is II
decidedly new occupation for the st.
Bernard dog, ana there is no reason
why the practice should not become
popular. The Canadian trOtting dog
Doe, being the pioneer in dog trOt-
ting, is likely to have several limits
tors, as he has proved Il veritable
gold mine to his youthful owner

PUBLIC SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

Children Debarrcd From Attendance on
Account of TcchnicaIitiCs.
4 question having all important
bearing Oh the attendance at tie pub
lie schools was brought before the
Board of Education last night and
discussed at great length. One clause
OF the city school law says, "childien
and wards OF ali actual residents
within the corporate limits of the
city shall be entitled to seats as pupils
in the public schools
Under this law the dOn.icile OF the
father has been held to be that of the
child, unless the father and mother
have been divorced. There were sever
al cases where the father had de-
serted his family and gone elsewhere
to live. In these cases under the
present construction OF the law, the
children through no fault of them
selves or their mother are debarred
the privileges OF the public schools.
There are other cases where the
mother is dead and the father has
abandoned his child, who is being
brought up here land cared for by
friends and relatives Of the child,
and yet they cannot give him the
education he should have. Where
the father and mother are both lead

these orphans live here while their

1t seems hard that such children,
the very class that most needs the ad
vantages of our schools, should be
denied an education because of EuUh
technicaIIties. The Board Of Educa
ton realized the hardship ana will
endeavOr to have the law changed
by the Boa:d OF Mayor and Alder
men. if necessary.

HARD TIMES!

Did it ever occur to you what
caused a good deal of the hard
times we hear so much about? A
very careful observer says that
one frightful source OF hard times
is the proneness that people have
to buy cheap goods. This COM
munity has been flooded of late
with cheap, shod1y stuff, that
costs you in the long run three OF
four times as much as good hon
est goods would cost you. Isn't
that so? Why not pay a little
more at the start and get value
received for your money. We
make it a rule TO carry no shOddy
stuff, but in many instances our
prices on first-class goods are
lower than you pay for the shOd-
dy. Our big fall stock is now
coming in daily. We will show
you many new and exclusive
things in dress goods, trimmings,
etc. Have you ever noticed our
store? We have an odd way of
being busy nearly all the time.
We can afford to make low prices,
as the most of our business is
spot cash. Long-wInded credit
customers we don't want. Good
honest goods, bed rock cash prices
and a very short profit is the way
we open up for fall. Try us!

Slick SWindIing.

Tom Alexander, cOlored, was ar
rested Tuesday afternoon by officer
John Collier, on a charge OF gaming
and sw:ndling. Tom had partner
who hes not yet been apprehended.
A slicker swindling continuance than
they had would be hard to find. 1t
consisted of small covered box
with dice cube in it. The two ar
lists chose unsophisticated country
negroes for their victims. Such an
innocent would be shown the box
with de in it. He would be
asked to remove it himself, the lid
would be replaced and he would be
asked if there was anything in the
box. He would say no, most posi-
lively. He would bet that it was
empty. The sharper would bet him
that there was still 81 die. in it,.
Having got the money in his hands,
Pom would touch a secret spring in
the bottom of the box which would
throw a hidden die into it. When it
was opened again the victim would
be shown this die, his money would
be gone and he left in dismay. The
police caught on to the little game,
which was repeated on nearly every
street corner in the city, and Tom
will have some leisure for rejecting
on the wisdom of the proverb that
"honesty is the best policy"
