fast on the second quarter aud reached
the wheel of the black stallion at the
half in l :0la. 1t looked as If there
would De a stirring contest, but at the
foot of the hill the side wheeler made
short break and another long one before
the three-quarter pole was reached, at
which point, in :37a, Directum had II
clear lead of four lengths. 1t was
all over, and Kelly had nothing to do but
sit still and win by three lengths in 2:l04.
The heat was rather tame.
Second Heat.-There were few people
willing to risk a dollar on the PAGER. Be-
fore the start one of the gentlemen in the
judges stand called out to Andrews, the
driver of Mascot, to swim the heat or die
in the stretch" He carried out the lat
ter's suggestion, but the first part was
too hard for him. They got away on
even time on the first attempt, and this
eai IS part of the heat was more inter, St
ing than the previous one. The PAGER
clung to the wheel of the trottcr to the
excitement by going rs fast in the second
quarter as to be but the length OF neck
in the rear at the half in :03a. Again it
| looked lii4e horse race and as if there
were some doubt as to the result, but the
little sdewheeler found the pace too hot
for him and IA break before he reached
the foot of the hill settled his chances
At the three quarter pole, in 30, Direct
UNI was five lengths in advance, and won
by that distance in :073.
Third Heat.-Tbe deciding heat was
more of contest than either of the pre-
ceding ones. Mascot succeeded in keep.
ing level throughout and made it quite
warm for the trotter, yet he only dem
onstrated the fact that he was Outclassed
seconds, where Dictator led by an oper
length, but the PAGER gained, as usual
on the second quarter and was Tapped or
the black horse at the half in | :04. Fol
the remainder of the heat there was
scarcely any change of relative positions
Mascot strained every muscle, but coulC
not gain an iota. Kelly did not have tC
urge his grand horse at all, but let hin
take his own gait, and he came on almos
as if on exhibition, winning by length
in :0S3. The effort of Mascot was wei
applauded.

Ii cannot be denied that the genera

victory was so easily earned that YER
little excitement was manifested, and. be
side, the time was not AS fast as man,
expected to see. A heat in 2:073 owe
that track, as fast as was ever made b.
any trotter in race except Directun
himself, ought to have satisfied the pub

OUTING SHOES.

It long ago seemed as though
shoes could never be better and
never be cheaper, but they are
better now and cheaper now than
they ever were before. The great
every day favorite is our mems
and ladies' shoe. It is as much a
boon to the pocketbook as it is to
the feet. It won't wear you out
to wear it out. You don't need to
take care of it; it takes care of
itself. It will give you solid COM
fort for the simple reason that a
better shoe for knockabout pur-
poses has never been produced.
If prices never appealed to you
before, the price of this shoe will,
for it costs only $3.50. It will
look nicer and wear longer than
any shoe on earth.

The question of increasing the accom-

attention of our citizens, and the indica-

solved during the summer. At present
the various buildings, departments and
grades are crowded, we might truth
fully say overcrowded, and with the i'm
perative demand for more room which
the coming season is absolutely certain
to bring, some action must be taken.
Just what that shall be depends upon
the wisdom of the school board.

J.C. Arbuckle and family returned
Monday evening from their trip to the
Pacific coast. They came directly from
St. Joe where they had been for ten
days undergoing treatment for their in
%juries. The trip since Mr.. Arbucle ar
rived at Riverside, California, has been a
peculiarly unfortunate one. About the
time for departure from hat place a
trunk, in which was packed the greater
part of their wearing apparel was stolen.
At Weiser, Idaho, the train on which
they were returning, was wrecked by
spreading rails, an account of which was
given last week. Their car rolled down
a forty-foot embankment and two per-
were killed outright. Mr.. Arbuckle was
injured internally, his spine being most
affected, and fears are entertained of his
ultimate recovery. He looks ten years
older than when he left Atwood. Little
Pearl is slowly improving, while Mrs.
A~rbuck1e's recovery is more rapid. Mr..
Arbuck1e has been a prominent citizen of
this county for years and has many
friends who are sorry to hear of his mis-
fortune and will wish his injuries so be
less serious than his present condition
leads them to anticipate. Atwood
