Fridays Races.

Friday afternoons races under the auspi
ces of the Owosso Matinee Club, were at
tended by large and enthusiastic crowd
and considerable betting was INDUCED in
The starting was good and the heats no ly
contested. Nellie K. was an easy winner
in the free-for-all, although Passmont took
the first heat. He did not seem to be in
condition and was distanced in the last heat
Nettie Nottingham was badly bothered
by the two or three extra harnesses which
she was obliged to wear, but easily won
three heats in the 40 trot or pace, the fight
being for second place, Matte d. getting
the first two and Billy Rather winning by
neck In the third and fourth.
The run was good, perhaps the best,
race, having nine starters all born for the
business and ridden in proper style by boys
in full uniforms. Gainsay seemed to be the
fastest horse but was very closely pressed.
Considerable interest was manifested in the
run and 1t was freely remarked that an ex-
ia run would have attracted quite a mum

NiDe-Eighteen Injured.
BARCELONA, Spain, June 9.-Martial
law has been declared here The total
number of victims of the bomb explosion
of Sunday are eight dead, twenty-one
dying and eighteen injured.
The person who throw the bomb has not
yet been apprehended. The police arc
busy in the search for the culprit and hope
TO discover him. The impression is gen,
eral that anarchists did the work as a re-
suit of widespread anarchistic plot. The
police are working on this theory and have
arrested twenty-five men known to enter
tain anarchistic sympathies.
In connection with these arrests they
have seized number Of documents which
furnish some clue to the plot of which the
bomb throwing was manifestation,
These documents indicate that the center
of the terrorist agitation is directed with
the purpose of precipitating n number of
anarchist demonstrations accompanied by
ects of violence at different points stimuli
taneously or following close upon each
other, so as to create reign of terror in
the different European governments.
The outrage was accompanied by feat
ures of peculiar atrocity. 1t was while
the people, both those In the procession
and those looking on, were devoutly
kneeling that the bomb was thrown by
5he unknown assassin. Whether by de-
Sign or not it did its deadliest work among

west of this village, for a fishing trip to
Cornish mountain. The team, hitherto
kind though likely pair of horses, was in
charge of John Stokes, who had been Mr.
Corbin's coachman, both here and in New
York, for years. The horses were hitched
up yesterday for the first time, perhaps,
without binders. 1t is thought Mr.. Cor
bin opened a sunshade just as they drove
away.
The horses at once started to run and be-
came unmanageable They ran down the
descending western driveway at terrific
speed, and at the turn into the main road
all were thrown violently, while the horses
kept the road. DIR. Hunger was thrown
completely over the wall and landed on
plowed ground. He received severe
bruise and fracture. Young Edgell suf-
fered fracture Of the leg and wrist.
Stokes evidently hit a tree, and as one of

his body was completely wound around
the tree. He died ABOUT 6 o'clock. Corbin
struck a stone wall with frightful force
and was terribly cut and bruised about
his head and one Of his legs was broken
and crushed so that the bones protruded
through the flesh.
He was able to speak when Mr.. Wood
bury, his farmer, who was nearby, reached
him, but he soon lost consciousness and
remained in that condition most of the
time until 9:42 p. m, when he breathed
his last. There were present at his bed

noticed in recent issue an article
devoted to the silver question. The writer
is not versed in finance, but is one of those
persons styled ''tinsel Goddess of the
street" by writer. whose Arguments stripped
of all else is that laboring men and labor
ing women demand and receive too high
prices, and If they would only accept lower
prices all this agitation would cease, and
the good old times so dear to the ancients
would again be at hand. A little incident
in the lives of the average working world
and an experience that all can contemplate
and know, occurred recently.
was receiving two dollars week in the
family of farmer when my father met
with an accident and broke his leg, and
was Obliged to return home and devote my
self to the WORK there. A physician and
surgeon was called, and rendered his bill,
which amounted to $4,000, for services,
covering about two weeks time. similar
misfortune had befallen another member of
the family some twenty years before, and
as my father always preserves his bills and
receipts, the charges therein for services
and per visit, were identical. While l
would not care to disclose my age by saying
what the wages received at that time were,
would say that my aunt says that she re-
ceived four dollars per week. In other
words, that now l must work twenty-five
weeks and one half to pay my fathers doc
tor bill, while at the wages of some time
ago, it would only have taken between
eleven and twelve weeks. And still this
does not seem to be satisfactory, and lower
wages are demanded.
little property were even less than they
were now, that few days work IN harvest
would pay them then, now 1t takes weeks
work. and then the work Is not always to
be obtained. We did not live high then,
we do not now, and everybody about us
say that they can not afford to hire-at
least that is what the family told me when
l was able to leave home again and went
back to get my old place at two dollars a
week. They said that two dollars was
more to them now than four was twenty
years ago, and offered me forty bushels Of
potatoes or three and half bushels of
wheat or twenty pounds of wool for a
weeks work, and said that this was double
what my money would buy some years ago,
which seemed reasonable, and l proposed
to pay my fathers doctor bill and to see the
doctor and told him what could pay him
and said that these goods were double in
amount what he could get with the money
years ago. He did not argue the question
with me but said he was not running
country newspaper and taking turnips and
cord wood on subscription. Whatever this
means, only know that he was not pleased
with my proposition.
l may be mistaken, but it does seem that
when one class of people want the wages of
an other class to come down, and refuse to
apply the rule to themselves, that there Is
more selfishness than logic in their argu-
ment. And In all candor, would ask the
eminent physician Ward, how his scale of
professional services compare with those of
ten or twenty years ago. If common labor
Is too high how about professional.

II was sitting with my face close to
the forward window of my cab, gazing

the glass and the open hand struck me
squarely in the face. I was dazed for

thought was that some tramp was try.

dealt the head of the intruder a blow
with all my might.

the man, shut off steam and we slowed
down and took our lanterns to examine
the strange visitor. I could not describe
the feeling that crept over me when
climbed upon the engine and looked al
the man whom l believed had attacked
me. His entire body below the arms

what had happened. He had been

Mistaken Kindness.

One Of the first resolutions which are
formed by men and women who are
succeeding in life, that is, as measured
by the only standard in use nowadays.
increasing their possessions far beyond
their actual needs, is that they will put
safeguards around their children; the
hardships which they themselves con-
tended against shall never, if they can
help it, be encountered by their off,
spring. They not only ooddle them
selves, indulge themselves with unac-
customed Injuries and spare themselves
all avoidable physical exertion, but they
believe this course to be the right way
to live, and that if it is good for them,
it is good for their children. They do
not understand that character is formed
under the pressure of che compulsory
hardships and self denials Of youth,
just as they forget that health is not q
gift or an accident. but the reward Of
abstinence and of hard work under nat
ural conditions. perhaps continued
through several generations Frederick

10 Keep Horses Eron Balliss Up.

There is well.known Detroit physi.
clan who has been looking for years for
some plan to prevent snow "balling" on
the hoofs Of his horses. Recently he
discovered what he had been looking
for. For years he has tried every sort
Of device that he could conceive of or
that had been brought to his attention
by other people, but the snow was al.
ways "balling" up in the hoofs just the
same. much to the danger of the horse
and to his own discontinue. Recently
he was coming down Woodward avenue
and the save old trouble was wearing
on his patience. Getting out of his
buggy be went into drug store and,
asking for some drug he wanted Incl.
IDENTITY remarked that he would like
something, too, that would prevent
snow "balling up on his horse"
"Well," said the druggist, "I should
think you ought to know how to stop
that" Giving the doctor two ounces of
glycerine, he told him to divide it even
ly on the four hoofs of his horse. The
physician took the percription and ap.
piled it as told. He drove on down
town, and getting out looked at the
horse to find that there was no snow
whatever on any hoof. It seemed q
complete cure.
Oil and lard have often been tried,
but opposed by veterinaries on the
ground that they keep the moisture
away from the hoof, and thereby keeps
doing it injury. This fails of application
of glycerine, for it will mix with water.
1t will not injure the hoof, and, it seems,
will keep the hoof free from snow
