Terre Haute special Six thousand peo-
pie witnessed the record breaking events
at the races. Nancy Hanks was driven to
beat her regulation track record-2:07
At O'Clock, after some preliminary slow
joys, she appeared, with Budd Dobe up.
accompanied by Frank Starr. behind rum
ner Abe Lincoln. The day was fair with
light breeze stirring. Starter Walker gave
the ord and the mare started out at full
speed. The first quarter was made in :31,
as steady as q clock. Up the back stretch
there was no lerceptible change, though
the second quarter was slower the half be-
ing made in 1.c?s4. That was record
breaking speed for circular track, but
the sensation was to come. Along
to the third quarter the Peerless marc
came at clip that made the earlier
part of the mile seem slow, taking only 29H
seconds to cover the distance. Starter
Walker requested every body to keep still
until she finished, but he had hardly finished
speaking when her nose was even with the
wire, and the watches stopped at 2:04 fiat.
Everybody knew all the records were
swept, and the yell that went was terrific.
When President ljams got a chance to
speak he said that the feat just acconp-
panied was beyond whatever had been
done before In harness. The kite track was
not in IL. The third was done In :5s clip.

WE'RE FORCED 10 FIGHT.
A Crow VIII Sue for Damages Because
They Engaged In War.

New Orleans special: From statements
made by u number OF the interested parties
1t IL learned that fifteen OF the crew and
one passenger OF the steamship Spiz,ati
will Ole a suit for $500, 600 damages in the
federal court against the owners Of tho
steamer. But IL Is such a peculiar one that
the decision In the case will be Of national
importance. The Spizzati was engaged by
the Honduras government some months
ago during the revolution and turned into
an armed cruiser. She rendered valuable
service, and in fact, succeeded in putting
al end to tho troubles. She shipped her
crew in this city and also took over a
passenger. The crew aver that they
were shipped as commercial seamen
for the round trip only. Arriv-
Ing In Honduras waters the crew
soon discovered that the spizzati was a
man-of-war. They were served with arms
and, though they expostulated, they had to
carry and use them. The crew declare
that the captain and the officers forced
them to fight against their will. All men
who refused to do as they were ordered
were Immediately put In irons and other
wise Ill treated. The crew, as soon as the
spizzau arrived In this city, engaged the
services of a number OF eminent lawyers.
1t is claimed that the owners OF the boat
can be prosecuted under the neutrality law,
the piracy law and under tho shipping act.
The case will no DOUBT be watched with in
terest not only In this city but throughout
the country.

This magnificent grain palace, which
was opened to the public. is fully two
thirds larger than the one last year. 1t
is Sc by i20 feet on the ground and 100
feet to the top of the tailest tower. The
total cost of the building was about
81, 400. The beautiful arched entrance
at ths side is tlanked by two round
towers aGd surmounted by higher
central one, while at each end OF the
front is another tower. Each Of these
is topped by q flag pole and all covered
With magnificent grain decorations.
The building from the corn foundation
to the attractive archatrave OF bundle
fax is a study OF beauty and q monu-
ment to the proficiency Of Superinten-
dent Estey, who had immediate charge
of this work. The interior is even
more attractive than the outside Upon
entering the door the first thing which
grects the sight is the great American
eagle, perched upon two American flags
crossed.

schools occupy the southeast corner

teenth century order At the left OF
this department and coming under its
supervision, Is the carefulls selected
herbarium of Lee Freudenfeld, showing
all our native flora. "Coiumbus in
Chains" made of corn and meal, Is de-
cidedly the most attractive feature Of
the school exhibit On either side Of
this piece, which is in the center Of the
booth, is arranged the work of the pub
lie schools OF the city and county.
Then there are booths In charge OF
Mrs c. j. Smith, Mrs. l. n. Aud, Miss

There is mems department, w. G..
booth, u fountain, etc. Plankinton,
being situated in the center of the most
fertile portion of the state, enjoys pc
cullar advantages for the location of
the palace. 1t Is claimed shat the
formation of animals, and other designs
out OF grain, grasses, corn, silk and
other material, far excels any work Of
the kind before produced.
The rrilroads have granted one fair
for the round trip from Chicago and
the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
Railroad is making arrangements to
run train direct to the grain palace
at Plankinton, without change OF
cars.
The enormous crop now being har.
vested in South Dakota Is sufficient ev-
idence OF the wonderful fertility of tn 9
soil. and the exposition at Plankinton
will show tho abundant resources OF

fitting exposition OF tho agricultural

Is missing The green color on the back Of

Montana Corporation OfOne Man In the
Hands o. the Law.

Washington special: Sometime ago the
attention of the Postoffice Department
was called to the corporation known as the
montana Mining, Loan and Investment
Compay,' which proposed to sell stock at
81 and loan subscribers anything from S.
to $40, GOO, the amounts SO loaned to be
paid in nineteen years and five months,
there being required from subscribers no
security whetever for such payment. An
investigation was made by the postoffce
authorities to ascertain whether the plan
of the company would come under the pro-
vision OF the anti-lottery law. The invest-
CATION showed that only one man consti-
tuted the company. He was c. L. Hapt OF
Butte, Mont. and styled himself president.
1t Is said at the Postoifce Department that
he succeeded in interesting several reput-
able men in the concern. The business, to
all appearances were fourishing. but was
suddenly checked by the vigilance of
government officers. Hapt is now being
prosecuted by the department OF justice
under the statute of fraud. The Postoffice
Department has ordered stopped all regis
tered letters and money orders addressed
TO Hapt, and the postmaster at Butte has
been directed to throw out OF the mails all
circulars OF the company.
