RECORDER HEUSTER'S LOSS.
Burglars Break Into and Loot His
Cedar Avenue saloon.

The saloon of Recorder of Deeds
Charles Heuster on Cedar Avenue is
the scene of the latest burglarlous
visitation. Entrance was effected by
forcing the lock on the front door.
Everything about the barroom was
turned topsy turvey but nothing of
value excepting some whiskey and
cigars was found by the thieves.
1t is supposed these are the same
men who attempted to enter Jacob
Hartmans house earlier in the night.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 5.--The twenty
fifth annual meeting of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders association
began today under splendid auspices.
The crowd was large, every state be-
ing represented by leading breeders
and track managers. The track was
good, without being especially fast.
The $4,000 Kentucky futurity for three
Near-olds was hotly contested in every
heat except the first. Bumps had an
easy thing in the 200 pace, although
Ananais and Planet forced him to go
three heats in 2.06R and 2.07. Little
Edgar won the 2.16 class. trotting in
hollow style. Both Bumps and Little
Edgar were favorites.
The eight young trotters were called
for the futurty at 2.30 o'clock. Tim
bre drew the pole, with China Silk
ON the outside. They were sent off on
the first score, and Kenney took China
SILK to the front at once, closely pressed
ly Miss Della Fox. She kept the lead
AL the way and won the heat easily in
2.19, with Miss Della Fox second and
Preston third.
PRESTON WON HANDILY.
In the next heat China silk again

rush and trotting the last quarter in 81
seconds. won handily in 213A, the
fastest heat ever trotted in this stake.
In the third heat the Montana mare
went to the front as usual on the turn
and Hickok took Thorne up to second
place, thereby putting Preston i'm a
pocket from which he was unable to
get out until the far turn was reached.
He came fast through the stretch and
won in hard drive from Thorne with
China Silk third.
The fourth heat was a facer for the
talent, as Thorne won by a head in
ia from Preston.
In the fifth heat Fuller started to lay
Preston up. but changed his mind and
drove his colt the last quarter in 301a
seconds, but was beaten by Thorne.
WON BY A LENGTH.
Only the three-heat winners started
in the sixth and Thorne led all the way
and won handily by a length. China
Silk was favorte before and after the
first heat. After Preston had won two
heats he became first choice. Sum-

In an eloquent address of welcome to
the convention of gold miners which
met at Denver in the early part of last
month Governor Adams, of Colorado,
said: "Gold is the only deity before
which universal man has ever bowed.
Religion has never reared an altar that
has not been shaken by heresy. Politi-
cal wisdom has never devised code or
constitution that did not invite revolt.
No moral system has ever won general
approval. Only behind the banner of
gold does there trail the hungry, enthu-
siastic, unframed hosts of the human
race. 1t matters not what land bore
them, what fate guides them; what al
tar hears their PRAYERS, what color tint
ed their skins; every heart pulsates
with the same love of gold; no chasm of
creed or race that will not be bridged
by lives and swords III its pursuit"
This was before news of the wonderful
discoveries in the Clondyke region in
Alaska was flashed over the wires from
Seattle to all parts of the world and the
great rush to the Yukon began. 1t is a
mad stampede for gold, gold, gold,
which is without parallel in history,
considering the hardships and priva-
tions that await the eager Argonauts in
the icy north and well illustrates the
truth of Governor Adams words. In
his welcome to the gold miners at Den
yer he said further:
awe want not the gold that is the
God of conquest; nor the gold that is
the idol of the miser, but the gold that
will be the handmade of industry, the
vehicle of an enlightened faith, the
means of broader culture and educa-
ton; that will iberate labor from the
thralls of idleness, give to the mass of
people fairer and better opportunities
of development and life; or in all, the
gold that will be the agent of a higher
and nobler civilization than we have
yet KNOWN
The gold that is the "God of con-
quest" "the idol of the miser" ETC., is
the same gold that is the 'handmaid of
industry" and "the means of broader
culture and education" 1t is the same
gold too which is the price of crimes
without number, the all powerful in
strument of both good and evil, and
both the blessing and the curse of the
human race. 1t is this that is Turing
thousands to the bleak and desolate
valleys of the mighty Yukon and its
countless ributaries-valleys which
will doubtless be valleys of death to
hundreds who are now journeying
toward them full of courage and hope
of golden harvest, needless of the adj
