THE AMERICAN DERBY
THE GREAT RACING EVENT TO BE
RUN TODAY.
Senator Grady.is Leading in the Betting,
But Thousands Will Go on. the I'm
beaten Domino With Taral in
the Saddle.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Tomorrow after.
noon the eleventh American Derby
will be run at Washington Park and
tonight everything indicates that it
will be a great race. The weather
promises to be perfect and the track,
while not as fast as it might be. is still
in excellent shape. There was but
little work done on the track this
morning. Domino came on about 4
o'clock with Trainer Lakeland close
at his heels and he cantered two miles,
At signal the boy "breezed" the un>
beaten Keene colt half in so. Dome
inc is remarkably fresh and appears
to be as frisky as 2,year,old. His
journey here had no bad effect on him.
Hornpipe got some light work. Sena-
tor Grady and Dorian were worked at
different times today, but the task set
for the two cracks was light one.
They got their severe trials yesterday;
Both cantered and walked and breezed
a half mile Dorian was timed .5l IL,
finishing strong, apparently mi as a
fiddle" to have made the other eight
furlongs. Grady loafed bit, but took
kindly to half mile, which he did In
81 seconds. None of the other AMI
mails were given any more than light
work, The great heat at the track has
induced the trainers to keep their
charges we'll under cover during the
day.
In the betting, which was going on
heavily tonight, Senator Grady was a
heavy favorite and tons OF money were
going on him and Domino. The ODDS
were tonight Senator Grady, s to D;
Domino, 5 to 2; Dorian; 3 to l; Horn
pipe, s to 1; Despot, 10 to l; Prince
Carl, 10 tc /; Rey Del Santa Anita, u

Resplendent, 80 to /; Ounda, OF
to /. Ullman's book took in several
bets at $1,000 on Grady at TO D, and
Snapper Carson, who is to ride the
colt tomorrow, placed 5000 on his
mount at 2 to /. Taral put $500 on
Domino to win, and there was heavy
amount on Dorian at even money tC
run third. Alcenor was heavily backed
tonight and his odds, which two days
ago were 60 to /, were pounded down
to % to tonight. O'Neill and Eek
erts book last winter took bet of $40
900 to $40 against Alcenor and
they are not looking for any
money on that colt tonight
There seems to be little chance
of his winning, but he will &C, to the

slugs Of Peoples Party Wisdom Gathered
at the Convention Saturday.

at the Convention Saturday.
At the Peoples Party county con-
vention held at Burnet last Saturday,
the official proceedings of which APP
pear elsewhere on this page, there
were some 40 delegates in all. Just
about one-half the precincts in the
county had held primaries, so of course
the representation as to precincts was
only about half what it should have
been. The usual speeches were made
during the absence of the several com
mittees, and after their report every
thing worked harmoniously until w.
o. Hutchinson of San Marcos was placs
ed in nomination for congress from
this district. Then occurred the only
hitch during the convention.
Several speakers obtained the floor,
some for and some against the San
Marcos politician, and in the running
debate which followed, the record o.
Joe Sayers, the present incumbent,
was mentioned. The worst and most
serious charge brought against Sayers
was by W. g. Moore of Naruna. Mr..
Moore said that while Joe Sayers had
perhaps voted right upon all questions
coming before congress, yet that he
(Sayers) had actually ATTENDED a ban
quet with and upon the invitation of
President Cleveland"
Horror Of horrors! Joe Sayers, the
people's friend, their faithful servant,
has completely uudoue hiinself-he
has supped with Cleveland. and o
my he may have sopped in the same
dish with him.
This is surely a terrible crime and
our people will assuredly call Joe to
account for it. 1t began to look for a
while as though Hutchison would get
there, but at last an able champion
was found for him in the person of a
Mr., Davis, Populist orator from
Llspo. Mr.. Davis spoke very highly
of Hutchinson. He stated that while
his party were generally opposed to
lawyers and bankers yet they were
sometimes necessary and that Mr..
Hutchinson was not only good lawyer
but he had plenty of cash, having about
$4,000 loaned out in Hays county
alone. He further stated that Mr..
Hutchinson had good Confederate
record; that he was Democrat until
that party became too rotten for him,
and that he, Mr.. Davis, could now
vouch for him as being fully In line
with the Populists, and by way OF
climax to his remarks he added that
Mr.. Hutchinson was "a shrewd politi-
cal manipulation.
So the Pops are getting it in for our
Joe with vengeance, having "sot
agin" him a political manipulation"
with bar'l'-Burnet Avalanche.

man. Il was lawyer in little town

years ago"
Ibid you outgrow the town." asked
the man in the macintosh.
"N-not exactly" was the reply. But
it didn't outgrow me, either. l lived
there twenty-seven years." he con-
tinued, reflectively, ''and during that
time it never grew at all.
ANY other lawyers there?" said the
man in the SLOUGH hat
None that could be called lawyers.
There were two or three shysters that
picked up living by stirring up law
suits among the farmers, trading jack
knives and picking cherries on the
shares"
And the people didn't appreciate
your abilities?" queried the man who
had his feet on the table.
"They did, sir. For seven years l
was the village attorney, 1t wasn't a
very high office, but it was the best
they could give lawyer"
Big salary?"
"Why, no, there wasn't any regular
salary attached to it, but there were
! fees-there were fees. 1t was strong
temperance town, and it was my bust
ness to prosecute anybody that sold
whisky on the sly. Whenever Isecured
conviction my fee was five dollars. u
Business lively?"
mot always. There was one man,
though, that just would run bootleg
saloon in spite of everything. I sup
pose must have prosecuted that man
fifty times while 1 was the town at
torney, and always proved the charge
against him. Many a time when
needed five dollar bill to pay the rent
with, l have gone out and had that
man arrested, proved clear case
against him, had him fined, and got
my fee. Poor fellow. He was tough
citizen, and made lots of trouble, but
don't hold any grudge against him."
81 should think not. But how was
it you came to leave the placer"
"Why, that fellow finally got tired
and moved form town." said the
lantern jawed man, with deep sigh

GREENvILLE, Tex, Jvne &c. b.
Kilgore, candidate for congress in this
district, spoke for four hours to a large
audience here yesterday, refusing to
divide time with his opponent and
leaving the courthouse as soon as he
concluded. His speech was great
surprise to the Democrats here, con
sisting of bitter announcement of the
Greenville papers in language of the
vilest sort, denouncing their editors
as cowardly liars and assassins of
character. His speech was frequently
interrupted by the editors, who as
serted that Kilgore had been guilty of
the most outrageous lies against the
papers and opponents.
There was much excitement and
collision was only averted by the cool
ness of the men he was traducing. Sci
dem has anything like this speech
been heard in this city and Killgore
has damaged his chance to certain
extent in this county and the district.
He drove to his hotel and went to his
own room as soon as he concluded and
remained there until train time, not
Offering to show himself on the street
His speech is being denounced in I'M
mistakable terms by the leading men
of the city and county as that Of a
blackguard and falsifier.

ARDMoRE, 1. T., Jure Wv Z :
Earl was given an examining trial
today before United States Commits
sioner Gibbons, charged with the
murder of G. w. Counts. He was
committed to Paris jail without bene
fit OF bail, in charge of Deputy United
States Marshal Letherman. The Kill
ing grew ont of an alleged intimacy
existing between the murdered man
and Earl's wife. The witnesses to the
tragedy have all left the country. Inc
crime of which Earl stands accused
and which he does not deny, was COM
mitted over two years ago. After the
killing he fled to Mexico and lately
returned and surrendered himself tC

MIssoULA, Mont. June 90. The eX
petition which left Missoula on May
81 in search of the body of George
Colgate, the cook to the Carlin party,
and who was abandoned by that party
last fall In Big Clearwater country,
one of the widest forests in the north
west has just returned. The body of
Colgate was not found, but sufficient
evidence discovered to justify the con-
clusion that he died a horrible death.
On the limb of q tree which
projected into the eddy of the
middle fork of Clearwater river was
found one sleeve caught under huge
boulder. The indications were that
body was washed down stream about
half mile from where the unfor-
tunate man was abandoned by the
Carlin party and caught in the Eddy.
A sleeve caught in the limb of tree
and the current being intensely rapid
the arm was torn off the body and re-
tanned there. The blankets left for
the unfortunate man by Carlin were
found, and indicated that Colgate
must have died a raving maniac, as
the blankets had been strapped to his
back by the Carlin party, and when
this expedition found them they were
just beyond high water mark.
The statements furnished by Ben
Kelly, member of the Carlin party,
have been proven false by this expedi-
ton. Keely claimed that the aban-
donment of Colgate was entirely un-
necessary and due to young Carlin.
a dispassionate investigation was
made by this expedition and it is
plainly evident that it was miracle
That any Of the members Of the Carlin
Larty came out alive. There can be
no question but that the bones of the
unfortunate George Colgate are some
where at the bottom of the middle
fork Of the Clear Water river, and his
widow will not have the sad oppor-
tunity OF giving them decent burial.

EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.

LONDON, June 22.-The Post, COM
menting on the decrease of emigration
to the United States, thinks the de-
crease is less due to the exclusion laws
than to the fact that the west has had
its day. The tide of emigration has
turned towards Africa. The omnipo-
tence of capital in the United States
has grown into an almost intolerable
tyranny and has driven the farmer
and the workman to the wall.
