A FIELD FOR FURNITURE.

Consul Jingle Believes America Could
Capture Much of Germany's Cash.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Consu1 E.
W s. Jingle of Brunswick, Germany,
has sent to the state department
sanguine report upon the field pre-
scented in Germany for American
made furniture. He represents that
the Germans are very unskilled in the
matter of furniture, despite the fact
that they are in general eminently
pra ctical and excel in many forms of
handicraft.
The German products, the consul
says, cannot compare with the Ameri-
can in beauty, finish or sire myth.
Should the trade be established the
consul believes it could be handled
through commission houses in Ham
burg and recommends as the best
plan for developing it that the Ameri-
can furniture makers associations
send over experts to make a thorough
study of the question

LEXINGTON, Ky. Sept 19.-There is
absolutely no doubt that W. c. Owens
has secured the nomination as the
Democratic candidate for congress
from the Ashland district. The Off
cial returns of the various county
committees show a plurality foI
Owens Of PRO over breckenridge While
Breckenridge seems determined to
have a contest before the district
committee at Frankfort next Satur-
day, there is no doubt that the com
mittee will refuse to throw the nom
ination to Breckenridge, as such
action would, in the opinion of con-
sentative Democrats, mpletely dis
rupt the Democratic party in this dis
trict. Several strong Breckinrid &c men
were interviewed and all expressed
themselves opposed to the contest.
They say that Breckenridge is UNI
doubtedly defeated and believe that
it would be bad policy to stand against
the will of the people A number Of

AT THE RACE TRACK.
Incidents of the First Days Races at the
Fair Grounds.


Fair Grounds.
The attendance was not large on the
first day of the Topeka races at the fair
grounds yesterday afternoon. The racing
events were all of a high order. and the
only fault, if any, TO be found with the
days sport was that the programme was
allowed to lag a trifie, which was due no
doubt to it being the first of the four
days races.
The attendance probably did not ex-
coed 700 or $50. The grand stand, which
holds ten times that number, looked de-
serted. The array of buggIes in the
quarter stretch was fairly large. The
pool-tent was crowded by a lot of young
men and old sports. There was Lot a
great deal Of money wa0ered, however.
A majority of them were young men who
ought to be in the high school, and the
aggregate funds of half a dozen of them
wouldn't reveal the price of a pool or
mutual ticket They looked important,
however, and the expression of anxiety
on their faces the horses dashed down
the home-stretch was painful to behold.
The music of the day was furnished
by Bailey's band.
The causualJies common on such Oc-
casions were not lacking. Probably the
one of the most interest " as a fight be-
tween Big jim" McHenry and hack
man who goes by the name of sCoon-
skin" They had dispute west of the
and "CoOnskin" used some Objectionable
terms in stating he wished McHenry
would pay what he owed.
big Jim" went after the cabby. He
had the best of "Coonskin" by nearly a
foot in stature, but the hackman Is game.
The small boys in the grand stand soon
discovered what was going on and set up
a cry of Flight! Fight. Oh, chiminie,
come on and see de fight" This
was the signal for grand rush
to the west end of the grand stand Dig
nified old gentlemen lost their score
cards in their scramble to catch a
glimpse of the contestants.
The fighters were finally separated be-
fore the police arrived "Big Jim's"
shirt was torn nearly of, and ''Coon-
skins" plug hat looked as if il had been
fitted over the business end of the pile
driver.
Then a sulky broke as the last heat of
the 2:5O rrot was rounding the first curve.
A wheel was taken off by the driver of
the next horse, and with crash that was
heard over every portion of the grounds
the sulky went down. The driver was
thrown to one side and dragged a con-
siderable distance. He held onto the
reins. however, and stopped the horse
Then the driver got up brushed the dust
from his clothes and announced that he
was all right
The remainder Of the weeks races will
no doubt be better attended. The proba-
biIities are that the local record of 2:12
will be beaten. The races are of high
order, backed by such men as
M A. Low. Guilford Dudley, Albert
Parker. Frank Il. Foster and X. /. Lee.
The races are fortunate in following
closely at the heels of the St Joe and
Lincoln races, insuring the presence of
many fast horses that could not have been
obtained otherwise.
The Results

away from Ben Kinney, the favorlte-
