VALKTRIE AND AILsA.
They Race Alone Over tho Clyde Course,
 Britannia Being Disabled.

npCAiAS Di'ep'SN'
 Hunters Quay, July 5,-The Valkyrie III and the Britannia were to have sailed a private match to-day, and at the appointed time Lord Dunraven and Designer Watson were on board the for mer boat, which was lying at anchor with her mainsail and topsail set and her headsails in stops ready for the signal to get under way. It was then discovered that something was wrong with the Britannia's topmast rigging, and Captain Carter announced that it would be impossible to set matters right before the middle of the afternoon.
 The captain of the Ailsa decided to sail over the course in the Britannia's s stead, as the Valkyrie's competitor.
 The Ailsa and Valkyrie left their anchorage under backyard topsails and the usual lower sails. The wind was fresh from the south and the sea was smooth.
 The Valkyries mainsail was slightly altered yesterday, but it is not intended to reduce her spars to add to her bal last until she has had further trials in her present state.
 The starting signal was given by the Iverna at 2:SO p. m. and the Ailsa got away fifteen seconds in advance of Val kyrie III. The wind was blowing fresh from the south and both boats were sailing close hauled on the starboard tack at 2:45, while still in the lead the Ailsa broke tacks and the Valkyrie, fol- lowed promptly was broad on the Ail- sa's lee bow. Both tackled again in mid channel at 2:4S:00, the Ailsa still hold ing the lead. At 3:05:00 both boats were coming off the Cloch shore on the port tack. The breeze had become sfresher and the Valkyrie heeled freely. The contest was very exciting to those who were on board the flotilla of steam yachts which followed the racers.
 The Ailsa led until 3:05:00 when a fresh puff of wind gave the Valkyrie fresh start. Under this impulse she shot ahead, getting the Ailsa under her lee. When the former came around in mid-channel to the starboard an excit- ing series of short tacking followed, the Ailsa attempting to get clear and the Valkyrie tacking four times within four minutes in order to prevent the Ailsa from getting out
 The Valkyrie finally drew out In fine style. She rounded the weather mark three and a half minutes ahead and from this point to the finish gradually increasing her lead, crossing the line at the commodore's boat at 4:4555. The Ailsa's finishing time was 5:0050.

HER ooW BURNED CHICAGO.
Death of the Woman Whose Life Was Elm.
 bittered by a Popular Rumor

Chicago, July 5.-Mrs. Catharine .O'Leary died Wednesday afternoon. She was the owner of the fractious cow which, in barn in the rear of No. 137 De Koven street, on a memorable night in October, 1871, kicked over a lamp and started a blaze which cost Chicago s190,OO00o0. Since the night of that historic confagration Mrs. O'Leary's life was embittered by the popular belief that she indirectly was responsible for the loss of life and eror- nous destruction of property. She de- nied the story vigorously, and to the committee which investigated the fire and it's causes made affidavit that the allegations about herself and the COW and the lamp were not true; but the world was against her. Then she be- came silent. Entreaties and flattering monetary offers were alike unavailing. She would say neither yea nor nay, even to her friends and a request to tell the story for publication usually aroused her to a pitch of frenzy.

A Coin Over 400 Years Old.

Tuesday morning we were shown
a silver dollar OF English money by
Mics Jimmie Ewing, OF Ksytesville,
that was made in 1922, and is there
fore 273 years old.
This old coin is an heirloom in the
Ewing family and was the first dol'
lar ever earned by j. j. Ewing, a
native of Ireland. who was the
great-grandiather OF Miss Jimmie,
and who came to this country when
he was only II years of age in COM
papy with little brother.
J.J. Ewing married q Widow vsu-
able, and ID was from this union that
the Ewings who have lived in Chari-
iton county for so many years
sprung.
There have been four j. Ewings,
beginning with the one who came to
this country from Ireland in the 18th
century. He had only one son, whose
name was j. j. Ewing, and who
named one OF his sons J. j. Ewing,
who died in Keyteeville nearly year
ago. The fourth j. j. Ewing is q
great-grandson OF the pioneer J. j.
Ewing, and is now living 1-2 miles
west OF this place. The last named
hasa number of sisters, including
Miss Jimmie. but he is the only son.
The old coin We sllude to above is
made Of pure silver and weighs 10 Ia
grains more than the present U. s.
silver dollar.
lie contains q double-headed eagle
on one side and the English coat OF
arms on the other. The coin is so
worn around the edges that the in
scrip zion on it can only be partly
dieiphered.
The buckskin wallet in which il 10
KEEP is also quite ancient, but
whether or not it Is as old as the
coin, Miss Jimmie doesn't know.
The wallet is fastened by the use Of
peculiarly arranged draw strings.
which svince quite q good deal OF
ingenuity for the age in which it was
made,

Special.

Ihave been talking all summer
about Blanke's coffee and "pure
food" and 81 that stuff, now ! wsnt
to say a word for my La TAKE
cigars.
You know what they are. They
are not a ten-cent cigar, but the
BEST five-cent cigar on the market.
They are better to-day then ever.
OF course they are sold by all wide
awake dealers. Some people say
that the manufacturer OF them is
cranky, but that don't make any
difference; he knows what the
smokers want and when you buy a
La TAKE you get the worth of your
money. IL they were not good /
would not keep them, Tor / cry too
much about "pure food" So when
you are supplied with Blanke's cof-
fee and pure food, let the old man
buy a LATAKE cigar. Remember
they are long havana filler, hand
made and Sumatra wrapper. Throw
away your old cob pipe, make man
OF yourself, and put on a little style.
1t only costs five cents.
1 am yours for
Blanke's Coffee, Pure Food,
and La TAKE Cigars.

Glandersd horses.

County Clerk r. d. Edwards receiv-
ed word Tuesday from State Veteri-
nary Surgeon T. j. Turner, of Mex
leo, that there were two glander-
cd horses in Clark township. One is
on l.. s. Curry's farm, who had the
came disease among his horses early
last spring, and the other is on j. s.
Stevenson's farm, about a half mile
distant from Mr.. Curry's. Under the
new law it is the duty of the state
veterinarian to order such diseased
animals quarantined. then it be-
comes the duty of the
county court to appoint ap-
praisers to properly appraise
the glandered stoct, and after this
has been done such an animal or
animals must be ordered killed and
then burned by the sheriff. The nee
essary legal steps in tie matter are
being taken as we go to press.

Case AgsinsI Frank Gamble Dismissed.

The case OF the state of Missouri
against the notorious Frank Gam
BILE, who was charged with disturb
ing the peace of John Q. Perkins, of
near Scripner school-house. by ap-
plying vile epithe.s to Perkins and
quarreling, challenging and threat
eDing to fight him, had an abrupt
terminus in Justice e. g. Singleton's
court in Keytesville last Saturday.
The case had been taken, by the
defendant, from Justice DeMoss' to
Justice SiDgleton's court on change
of venue, and last Saturday was the
day set for CANDLES trial, and not
withstanding Gamble failed to put
in an appearance, the case against
him was dismissed owing either to
some defect iu the papers or change
in the law made by the last legisla-
ture.
The only way the case could have
been brought into court again would
have been for Perkins to swear an.
other warrant for CANDLES arrest
and this the prosecuting witness de-
clined to do.
Gamble is again at large, but as
he seemingly has penchant for get
ting into petit troubles, we shall ex-
pect to hear OF his being in the tolls
again soon, unless he wisely resolves
to "reform" and sticks to his good
resolution.

A. c. Yocum, the rantankerous
Populist OF Salisbury, says that the
COURIER misrepresented him in its
issue of Arg. 10th by quoting him
a saying in a speech at the Forks OF
Charlton band picnic on Aug. 14th
that she was at war with the old
parties, that he intended to fight
them through the journey OF life and
into h-l."
We believe we quoted Mr.. Yocum
correctly, but, according to his own
statement, about the only thing we
omitted was that Augustus Caesar
proposed to do his fighting on the
ice, and as ice will be q very necessa-
~ commodity to Augustus Caesars
eomfort when he reaches his santanic
msissty's domains. We have no OBJ
iections to his having that.
As to whether or not the senior
editor OF the COURIER left the picnic
grounds before Capt. Benecke finished
bis speech. our pessimistic Populistic
friend 10 respectfully referred to
Brother Fenstemaker, editor OF the
Charlton County Republican, whom
we told OF our departure and re-
quested him to express our regrets
to Capt. Benecke at our inability to
remain to hear all Of his speech.
After making due investigation,
We think Augustus Caesar will nnd
that be is @lsus in uDum, falsus in
omnibus, kalsus in Populis(t), but
truly potgutibus.
