He Wasn't Spanked.
From It'd


Bobby had fallen into the habit, common
to children. Of asking for more food than
he could well take care Of and his mother
had resolved to cure him. So she heaped
his plate with food one morning and told
him he must eat 1t all or be spanked. The
boy labored hard, but the supply was too
great, and at last he turned to his mot ner
and asked in tone of stuffy hopelessness,
Say, mamma, which would you rather do
get spanked or bust?"

COMMERCIAL CLUB PROJECTS.
After the Government ArmOry Plant
Talk of Fail Attraction.

AT a meeting yesterday of the board of
directors of the Commercial Club President
Fortune brought up the matter of an effort
to locate in Indianapolis the proposed gov
eminent plant for the manufacture of
armor plate. 1t will be recalled that Con-
gress last spring authorized the initial steps
in the matter and it is expected that a
board of engineers and experts will soon
visit various cities for the purpose of de-
termining on the one best suited for the
plant. The board of directors instructed
the clubs committee en- manufactures, of
which MIR. c. +. Smith is the chairman. to
take up the matter and directed that Con-
gresham OVerStreet should be requested to
interest himself in the matter to the end
on the list OF cities TO be visited and con-
sidered.
Mr. ID. M. Parry called to the boards at
tention the deslrability of some effort to es-
tablish in Indianapolis either some kind of n
permanent exposition or an annual spectac-
ular festival like the Yelled Prophets in ST
Louis and the Mardi Gras in New Orleans
lie expressed the belief that the day of
state fairs Is about over. One of the ideas
BILE for exhibitions, mere or less permanent
of the manufactures and industries of the
city. All the directors present concurrei in
the opinion that something might probably
be done toward a regular fall attraction of
some kind that would bring large Numbers
of people to the city. The president was
instructed to appoint a special committee of

mending that on account of limited finances

of the board concurred in the report of the
committee, while others were in favor OF
carrying out the Industrial plan. On motion
of Commissioner Scott the matter was re-
ferred to the committee on manual training,
with instructions to purchase an outfit Of
tools and employ a teacher.
The committee on buildings and grounds
was given permission to advertise for bids
on improvement at High School No. /.
Plans for these changes were submitted to
the board last night. They provide for the

school No. Al completed and was authorized
to make the final payment on the same.

SPEEDY HOOSIER MARE
2;2O PACE AT LEXINGTON WON BY
INDIANA IN FAST TIME.
TvO-Year-OId Race Record for FiIIies
Lowered by jamie t. to 2:14-BIue
Grass and johnson Stakes.

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 15.-To-day
closed the most successful meeting in the
history of the Kentucky Trotting Horse
breeders Association. The weather has been
perfect the fields large, the sport clean and
nearly every race holly contested More
than thirty stakes and purses, aggregating
over $4,000, were contested during the ten
days OF the meeting, and heats slower than
2:15 were the exception; in fact, in every
race, except one one or more heats were
faster than 2:15.
Besides the unfinished 2:2O pacing class
there were three fixed events on the card
to-day, the Stock Farm purse of 5000, for
two-year-old trotters, guaranteed by the
Kentucky Stock Farm Publishing Com
pany; the Blue Grass, $1,000, for 2:19 trot-
ters, and the Johnston $1,000, for 2:24 trot-
tiers. The Indiana mare, Indiana, won the
unfinished pacing race, easily taking the
last three heats of six-heat race. and
reduced her record to 2:11A. Emily had no
trouble in winning the Blue Grass stakes,
with the Gambetta Wilkes mare, Edmonia,
second and Pat Watson third.
In the first heat of the Johnston stakes,
Dare Devil and Little Edgar fought out one
of the fastest and greatest heats of the
meeting Dare Devil winning by scant
head in 2:0934. In the second heat Dare
Devil led until we'll into the stretch, when
Little Edgar forged TO the front and won
by one-half a length, with Mediumwood a
good third. The third heat was a repetition
of the second, except that Georgtana had
moved up little. The fourth heat saw. Lit
tie Edgar leading until the eighth pole in
the stretch, where Georgiana rushed to the
front and won by a head. Georgiana led all
the way in the fifth heat and won by
narrow margin from Little Edgar, with
Mediumwood third. 1t was nearly dark
when the three heat winners came out for
the final heat, and after two scores they
were sent away to a good start. Georgiana
took the lead at the quarter, and with Lit
tie Edgar pushing her hard, won the heat
by scant half length.
In the meantime the Kentucky Stock
Farm stake for two-year-olds had been
trotted, jamie L. winning handily, and in
the last heat she smashed the worlds two
year-old race record for FLIES, by making
the mile in 2:14, winning first and fourth
moneys, in addition to which, George Fuller
earned $500 for being the breeder, and $500
for being the driver of the filly. jamie r. is
by the Hermitage stud stallion Bow Bells,
and could have trotted to-day in 2:1S. Sum-

STRANGE CONFEDERATION.
Load of Hay, Fired by an Electric
Spark, Causes CommOtion.

The fire department was called out yes
terday morning to extinguish a load of
hay which was on fire near the Statehouse.
Charles Mowrey, the owner, had driven in
with it from north of Brightwood and was
on his way down to the city scales when
suddenly he heard some one cry fire and on
turning around discovered his hay was in a
blaze. He jumped Gown and quickly I'M
harnessed his horses. In a few minutes
the fire department was on the scene,
including the fire tower. The fire was final
~ eztinguished, but not till all the hay was
consumed. The damage TO the wagon was
slight. The cause Of the fire is a mystery.
Mr. Mowrey does not smoke and the sup
position is that a spark from the passing
street car was communicated to the hay
and thus started the blaze.
