VITAL To MANHOOD.

The Caucasian is venttIating the election law
in g series of able articles. 1t is publishing the
umns, and showing why a legislature elected by

counties, of the frauds committed in the late
election. Every voter in the State should know
these facts. If you have not seen the paper,

Army Men Will Hereafter D ' ,etailed for
 That Purpose.
 Washington, Oct. 22." Hereafter when an army officer who srving as an Indian agent is relieved from that duty another officer of the army will be detailed to act in his stead.
 It is said the president prefers the army officers to act as Indian agents. It is Understood to be the purpose in the future to have these officers de- tailed to act as agents when civilians are relieved. There are now fifty-seven Indian agents and of this number twenty-one are army officers. The average pay of Indian agents Is nearly H,5OO with expenses. An army officer acting in such a capacity does not re- ceive a salary as agent, but gets only his regular pay as a commissioned officer, with necessary expenses. Thus at this time the government Is saving annually about $30,000 in having them serve as agents.
 If in time the civilian agents should be abolished altogether and army off, cers appointed in their places the sav- ing to the government woulud be over sS0.0O0.

TYLER MADE A SENSATION
HE MADE THE FASTEST MILE EYER
 RECORDED IN THE WORLD.

Ths Even leand the Three Quarter Com
 petition Records Broken Under Unfavor-
 able Circum tancos-He Wore Heavy
 Sweaters and Stockings.
 Waltham, Mass. Oct. 22.-Harry Ty- Ter again made sensation to-day at the Cycle park by riding the fastest mile race ever contested in the world. breaking both the even mile and three qia''er competition record under cx- trrn.ely unfavorable conditions. On September 13, at Springfield, Eddie Bald cf Buffalo leaped into fame by winning Q m;le race against the fastest men in the world, lowering the worlds competi- ton record by two minutes, five end four-flfths seconds. One year before on the same track George Taylor of Wal than. had established a three-quarter mile record of Al 1-5.
 To-day Tyler broke both these records at the same attempt, and Eddie Me- Duffee of Maiden finished a. wheel length, equal to about 1-5 second. be- hind, Tyler cutting the threee-qrarter record to 1:33 2-5 and the mile to 2:O5 1-6 Less than 300 spectators were present when Tyler, Watson Coleman, E Idle McDuffee and Nat Butler lined up in the one mile invitation race. It was so cold and damp that the men wore heavy sweaters and stockings. Fifty yards away was a tandem carrying Brain bridge and Gardner to keep the racers m wing at their best speed. Tyler caught the coveted position a foot from the rear tire of the tandem and away he flew at a clip that was wonderful on such a day. He cut the quarter in 34A se olds, and the third in 43 1-5. The other riders were trailing close behind, but at this point Butler gave out and retired.
 Iyler's feet moved faster as he warm ed to his work. The half was reached in 1: :03, three seconds below record time. lie reached the second third in :22 3-5. and then Coleman dropped out. At the third quarter the time was 1:S3 2-5. and here Tyler jumped away from the tan- dem with McDuffee close upon him. Down the stretch they came without the positions varying a foot, and had Tyler not captured the new record McDuffee would have done so with a small margin to spare.
 As there are no recorded competition records for the third and two-thirds miles Tyler may claim them also, mak- ing four more worlds records to his credit as a result of to-day's race. As it was so unpleasant the trials against time were omitted and after Prof. Colby had jumped from his balloon every body adjourned. The officials were J. c. Kerrison. referee; George Tulli- van, A. c. Peck and c. G. Percival, judges.

He added that it was better for democrats who believed in protection to be regarded as traitors to the pary than as traitors to the best and most sacred interests of the country. It had been charged that the republican tariff bill was full of mistakes, but they were in the in- terest of the masses. while of the six hundred and ninety mistakes the dem ocrats had themselves discovered in their new bill not one was in favor of the people.
 He alluded to the fact that when he spoke in West Virginia two years ago it was prosperity and good times and when he asked if the same conditions prevailed to-day there was great shout of No" Tomorrow Governor Mckinley is booked for twenty speeches along the river to Wheeling.
