mare is simply brought out to the
track, and of her own accord speeds
away as though followed by hot field
of competitors. She went mile in
2:08A at Oshkosh Wednesday last and
can no doubt be relied upon to lower
her record here. There is also ST. 900

Three games of lacrosse are to be
played by teams of Winnebago and
Chippewa Indians. Lacrosse has the
combined features of football, polo,
shinney, base ball and smuggling. So
it should be apt to please all lovers
of athletic sports, especially as the In
dams play the game very fiercely. The
Indians are to live in a village con-

their squaws and papooses. A num-

John Stratus, who, it is charged, is
responsible for the death of Mrs
Bridget O'Toole, gave himself up to
the police yesterday noon. Straus came
to the central police station in COM
pany with f. HI. Garland, local agent
for the Great Northern express com
pany, and said he was the man who
ran over the woman and killed her
AS he made the statement Straus
broke down and wept. He was booked
and given a cell and at the afternoon
session of the police court was ar
ralgned on charge of manslaughter
in the second degree. The complaint,
sworn to by Lieut.. Babe, charges him
with negligently and wrongfully driv-
ing horse and wagon over and upon
the body of Bridget O'Toole, inf1icting
grievous injuries from the effects of
which she died. Straus was represent
ed by j. j. McCafferty and, the read
ing of the complaint having been
waived, the case was set for a hear
ing next Wednesday afternoon County
Attorney Butler told the court 81 900
bonds would be advisable, and a bond
with w. J. Footner and J. J. McCaffer-
ty as sureties was accepted
Straus says he has not slept since
the accident occurred and his appear
ance would tend to. confirm the state
ment. He looked pale and worried
when in the court room and in reply
to questions said if he had no children
he would surely kill himself Speaking
of the accident he said that while driv-
ing up Sixth street the horse SHE'D to
one side owing to a piece of paper
blowing up in front. He lost a firm
hold of the reins by the sudden move
ment, and while trying to regain con-
troll of the reins the accident occurred.
He says he felt the jolt of the buggy
as 1T passed over the woman's body
but did not realize what had happened.
AS soon as he gained control of the
horse he looked back and, seeing a
lot of people running, he became
frightened and drove on. Thursday
morning he heard the woman was dead
and walked to the river bank with the
intention of throwing himself in. At
2 o'clock that afternoon he con-
cluded to go to Milwaukee and see a
friend that lived there. Arriving at
Milwaukee, he visited his cousin who
advised him to return to ST. Paul and
give himself up. Straus says he has
never been in the habit of drinking in a
reckless manner and that he ran away
because he was afraid.
The funeral of Mrs. OToo1e was held
and the remains inferred in Calvary
cemetery. The taking of testimony by
the coroner before a jury will COM

CANTON, OHIO, Aug. 3o.-Major Nc
Kinley spent very quiet Sunday. The
greater part of his mail was piled on his
desk untouched, waiting for tomorrow.
Only the most important of kilograms
were answered. The Major had for his
guest Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, who
is on his way to the Northwest, where he
will go on the stump for the Republican
party. Major Butterworth accompanied
Major Mckinley to church this morning,
where they listened to sermon by Bishop
Mills. Tonight Major Butterworth spoke
most eloQuently of his distinguished host.
II was going to church with him this
morning, and as we walked along the
quiet shady street l took occasion to say
TO him that his name was on every tongue
and that he was known in every land, and
asked him if that fact did not tend 10
exalt him in hisown eyes.
mo- he said, If it tends to do any
thing it makes me more sensible of my
shortcomings and causes me to seek with
greater earnestness than in all my life to
learn the way in which my feet should go.
Never before have l felt the need of
strength and wisdom as 1 have these last
two months, and never have / been so
sensible of my own weakness
