the national derby winner, was
shipped to Cincinnati yesterday.
McClelland and Jockey Perkins re-
turned home Saturday night.
Prince Lief failed to show the
slightest effect OF the hard race
Saturday. McClellsnd's crack was
trained late as two-year-old, and
after winning five straight heats
late in the season, ran mile and
a furlong in :534.
The owner of Prince Lief is one

American turf.
Prince Lief is the third great

Compressed Air VS.. Electricity.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Compressed
air motors will be tested on mo-

the first time on July1. The new
motive power for street passenger
transportation may find a perma-

test is successful. If the motor
should demonstrate it's efficience Of
a battle royal will be done between
compressed air and electricity,
which may end in the abolition OF
the trolley. Already workingmen
are busily engaged in completing
the first compressor or plant to be
erected in the west. 1t Is expected
that many prominent street car
officials from the west and north
west will be- present at the trial, as
they are desirious to learn II the
motor is practicable. The cost OF
the motive power will be one.half
of that OF electricity.

Hart, a prominent farmer, shot

his wife. In the evening he sent

TOPEKA, Kan, June pa spe-
cial to the State Journal from
Hoxie, Sheridan county, says:
Sunday morning the courthouse at
this place burned to the ground,

Of deeds were destroyed. The safes
were both opened and the records
taken out, piled on the floor, and
opened up, some on their faces, the
others on their backs, and some on
edge, placed in such a manner that
they would be sure to be destroyed.
Some $4,000 in the treasurer's safe
is gone. The county clerks safe

were saved. 1t will cost Sheridan
$4,000 to repair the loss and put
the records where they were. No
