EVERY FAVORITE WON.
Alexander Island Becoming a Para
disc for the Talent.

If the favorites continue to land first
money, as they have been doing so consist
entity of late at the Alexander Island track,
the talent will have all the money and the
bookies will be forced to seek other occu-
pations. Yesterday favorites won every
event, and the thirteen men on the stands
went home with rolls much shorter than
they took to the track. The club yesterday
again demonstrated that no crookedness
will be permitted, and that so far as 1t can
do so the racing shall be straight.
The party to feel the strong arm of track
law yesterday was Jockey Manlove, VINO
had been regarded as not only one OF the
most competent but also one OF the rel-
able jockeys at the track, the public SEEM
ingly having the fullest confidence In him.
When he dismounted from Frank X. Hart
in the fourth race yesterday Presiding
Judge Oyster informed him that the club
had decided to rule him off the track for
tampering with Jockeys Lewis and Corbley.
Complaint was first made by Corbley VINO
stated that he had been approached by
Manlove, and IL also transpired during the
investigation that Manlove had offered
Lewis $50 to pull Prince John on TUESDAY
in favor of Forest.

A Chance for Washington.

President Byrne of the Brooklyn club has
received a letter from Catcher Grim &C
cepting the clubs terms and asking that a
contract be forwarded to him. 1t is said
that Grim will get the salary limit in
Brooklyn, $2,4OU, and will be used as a
catcher only although he is a first-class in
fielder.
President Byrne minated that any club
wishing to purchase the releases of kins-
low, Daley, Burns. Shindle and DAILY could
do so. He said that thes players had been
members of the Brooklyn team a trife too
long, and that they would undoubtedly do
better work elsewhere. Tredway may play
right field, although that arrangement had
not been definitely made.

The arnic-Pfener Hearing.

william Barnie and Fred Pfeffer were
heard before the board OF arbitration OF
the National Base Ball League In New
York yesterday, the former verbally ana
the latter by a long written statement. The
question was upon their restoration to their
former standing in the league. N. E. Young,
A. h. Soden and Z. Ii. Byrne represented
the board OF arbitration. 1t was declared
that there was no proof of Mr.. Barnie S
disloyalty, but Pfeffer did not succeed In
clearing his skirts. MIR. Barnie, however,
refused to sign an agreement pledging per-
petual loyalty to the national agreement,
and club arrangements were notified to act
appropriately. This, OF course, is virtual
biacklisting. Angry words passed between
Messrs Byrne and Barnie at the conclu-
sion OF the meeting, and the latter threat
ened to publish some facts showing the
formers disloyalty to the national agree
ment in times past.

Try Them First and Good Roads WIN 70
Easily Attained.
In those parts of the country where
stone does not abound and the most
available road material is prairie
mud, the first, best and cheapest relief
Is to use wide tires. Next, put In un-
der drains and keep the road well
shaped up Such road properly
looked after comes very near being
right for sparsely settled prairie coun-
try. and during large part of the
year is good enough for anybody, but
II is absolutely necessary TO use wide
tires, and, what Is more, IL Is profita-
BILE 20 the user in that he can haul
double the corn out OF the field that
he could have hauled with narrow
tires and he can get 20 town with a
very much larger load, even when he
Is the only user OF wide tires over that
road, and as soon as the fat-footed
wagons become general IL is not neces-
sary 10 spend one-half the amount in
keeping up even common dirt road.
With proper drainage and wide tires
long step is taken in the direction OF
going TO town in the spring and fall
Few localities are so low that drainage
is not practical, and even in the lowest
bottoms road properly raised, with
suitable side bitches and cross tiles,
will be in good shape most of the time,
but no such road can stand narrow
tires.
Get proper highways as soon as pos.
sible, but get wide tires nop The
meanest road is made better; fair
road Is much improved; soft road is
kept smooth; a good road is left so; a
hard road is made harder; smooth
road Is made smoother; n rough road Is
leveled; and all roads last longer
larger loads can be hauled; larger
bank accounts may be maintained; bet
ter profits for the farmer; better prices
for the consumer; better nature WI
prevail, and better citizens are made
by the use OF ioide fires
Therefore get wide tires first an'
good roads will be easier of attain

A Device which saves Much Labor and
Lots OF Annoyance.
Although the growing OF good
crop OF grain as well as fodder and al
lowing it TO ripen for ensilagc gives US
much better ensilage than the old plan
OF growing fodder only and cutting
and canning it green, IL does not in
the least aid us In the solution OF the
problem OF transporting our ensilago
material from the field TO the eater.
The long stalks with large, heavy ears
are very difficult TO handle. Many de-
vices have been gotten up 10 aid in
handling this fodder, and one of the
best which we have seen is a low-down
wagon described in the Ohio Farmer
by f. p Stump, OF the Ohio state uni
versity farm, as follows:
The plan Is to CT an ordinary farm
wagon with rack low enough TO al
