states it was not the horses fault
when Joe was distanced at Freeport,

wire like a shot, but collided with
another horse and both had the flag
thrown down on them. The driver
of the other horse claimed foul and
was allowed to start again. At James,
vile, the DR.. says, Joe was so badly
of from an injury that he could do
nothing and he allowed him to start
only to save an extra per cent en-,
trance fee. Theo. Allen will continue
to drive him through the circuit for
Blattner. He is entered at Milwau.

How They Cost jackson County 81 800
Plate.

KANSAS CRY, NO., June 2S.-A
juror with an inordinate love for
cucumbers has cost Jackson county
81 800. 1t happened thus: T. l..
Crane, one of the jury impaneled to
try Cashier E. C. Sattley, of the
defunct savings bank, of this city,
ate large dish of cucumbers i'm
mediately after the jury had got 10
work. When he was unwound from
the double bow knot into which the
imsidious vegetable had tied him,
the doctors certified that he was too
ill to serve. So the jury was dis
charged and the case continued un-
til Monday.
AT that time a panel of 400 Jurors
and 800 witnesses, all OF whom had
been in attendance several days,
will have to begin over again.

And n Good One. Too.

A correspondent asks the LEDGER
if Harry Pennington is a Missouri
bred horse, where he first started in
a race and who now owns him.
Harry Pennington is a Missouri
bred horse, by Aaron Pennington, by
Tipperary, son of Ringgold; also
the sire of Gypsy Girl (Sally How
ard) 2:22, and Bee, 2:24ls, and the
dam of Dan Jennings, 2:25. We
believe he was owned up about
Kirksville and made his first start in
that town in the 3 minute class in
1891. In 1892 he started II times
and was behind the money but
twice, securing a mark of 2 80 4
In 1898 he took a record of 2 :27 4
which he reduced to :19A at Free
port, ILL.,, his first race this year.
The horse is now owned by New
gass & Son, of Chicago. He is a
stallion and is now Z years old. The
Davis Bros. of Perry own Aaron
Pennington.
The Montgomery Standard says
Harry Pennington was given his
first lessons in trotting by E. B.
Pegram of that place. and at the
time was owned by H. c. Niehuss
of Truxton.

An Essay ON Pants.

4 boy in the Wichita schools has
been suspended for reading the fol-
lowing essay On pants:
'Pants are made for men, and
not men for pants. Pants are like
molasses-they are thinner during
hot weather and thicker in winter.
The man in the moon changes hii
pants during the eclipse. Don't go
to the pantry for pants, you might
be mistaken.
"There has been much discussion
as TO whether pants is singular or
plural. Seems 10 US when men
wear pants they are plural and when
they don't wear pants it is singular.
"Men go on tear in pants, and
it is all right; but when the pants
go on n tear it is all wrong"

Cost of SuppressIng CoxeYism.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 81
The Attorney General to-day sent

tending to apply to the nearest
Justice OF the Supreme Court and
Judge Harlan being a resident l
went to him and he asked me why

formed me. Judge Harlan then
said that the Supreme Court Justices
were all very 10th to entertain ap-
peals and writs OF error in cases
pending in State Courts; that they
had been criticised considerably on
that account, and they were all as
anxious TO preserve the power and
separate jurisdiction of the State
Courts as any other citizen of our
Republic could be, but as | had q

look into the case, and be took the
papers under adyisement from Sat

Tuesday, when he gave the writ as

the next turn in the road. Mr..
Buckley and | think our prospects
for winning the case are good.
