termediate points. The rate from Mas
slllon is only one dollar for the round
trip. Tomorrow the Cleveland, Lorain

from Massillon and way points at the
same rate. This Is lower rate than
the state fair management has pre-
viously been able to induce the railroads
to offer, and the result will be ire
mendous crowd to-day and Tomorrow.
This very cheap rate was secured
through the efforts OF travelling Pas

For many years Weddings leading
Photograph Gallery has been located at
1905 Market street. Mr.. o'Neill, the
present occupant, has more clearly than
ever demonstrated his right to that POI
sition by his exhibit this year at the
fair. In addition to his exhibit of fine
crayons, water colors and the popular
carbonette photographs, Mr.. o'Neill this
year shows beautiful collection OF
Genuine Cartoons, the highest grade
photographs known 20 the art. Too
much cannot be said in praise OF these
photographs. The posing and the eff
fects in light and shade seem to be as
nearly perfect as they can be made.
The picture which seems to attract the
most attention is the one of Major D. E.
Stalnaker. This looks more like pro-
duction of one of the old masters than a
photograph. Not the least about the
exhibit is the artistic manner In which
1t is arranged.

tators. The first two races were holly
contested, each requiring four heats to
decide the winner, and the third was a
walk-over for Atlantic Junior, The de-
tails are given below;
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-09-08

FIRST HEAT--Every one of the nine
horses entered for this, the first race on
the programme, faced Starter Lehman
when the races were started al O'clock
The Toledo entry Hal, entered by the
well-known Al Hoffman, started the
heat in the lead and was never headed,
coming under the wire several lengths
ahead Of Hardee Boy, who broke on the
stretch,
SECOND HEATH looked as though
the trot would be walk-over for Hal,
the winner of the first heat, but at the
finish 1t was anything but a "cinch" for
the Toledo horse. Hal went out to the
front at the start and was soon lengths
In advance of Alice Wales, who led the
field At the half the favorite was still
far In the lead and continued In that po-
sltIon on the second half. Entering the
home stretch, Alice Wales and Hardee
Boy came up like CREASED lightning and
gave Halls driver an uncomfortable half
minute but Hardee Boys sprint was be-
gun half a second too late, Hal winning
by a head. Hardee Boy had passed the
Hoffman horse five yards beyond the
wife, Alice Wales, too, was n thirty
second degree candidate for first place
who fell short by only half length.
Time, 2:t0h
THIRD HEAT-Black Jim was drawn
by the consent Of the judges This heat
furnished surprise for the audience,
though some of the betting ring follow
ers predicted the result The pole horse,
Hal, went out at the front closely fol-
lowed by Hardee Boy, AT the half Hal
and Hardee Boy were in the same posi-
tons At the quarters there was
no change, except that Exploit had
closed up and was factor In the heat,
Coming up the stretch, the three were
punched. Hal was at the pole, but Har-
dee Boy came up the line on the outside
and caught and passed the Toledo ami
NAL in the last dozen strides. Exploit
performed like a winner In the stretch
but was content with third position,
which was almost an even thing with
Hal for second place. Time. 2:2Oh.
FOURTH HEAT-Hal won the heat
and race in slow time. Hardee Boy gave
him fight but that was ALL Hal as
sumed the lead at the start and main
tanned It throughout. Raj, who had
been figuring at the rear In previous
heats, was up in the van this heat and
his third gave him fourth place in the
race. Time, 2:22h.

Alaskan Placer Min-s the Richess in
 H. "A. Stanley. president of th, Binahampton (N. Y.) Evening Her ald company. writing |" the Associated Pres, from St. Michsel's Island, Alaska. says:
 1.-The steamer Excelsior of San Fran cisco was the first vessel to push her way through the ice to this station. The Portland, from Seattle, arrived four hours later. From these vessels we learned fnr the first time of Me- Kinlry's election. the result of the Cnrl,pti- -Fiizsimmons prize fight and other news of the fall and winter. The ice went nut at Yukon about June 18th and the river steamer Portus B. We.re. which winier+d at Dawson. 25O miles up, reached St. Michael's June 27th. The Wpare brought authentic news If som. of the most wonderful gold strikes in all the worlds history aud brough, also some fort, Live miners, every man bringing in from t50O0 io el00,000 "f dust and nuggets. an aggregate of mnre than q 100000. Just how much the Wrnre brought in on it's own account in exchange for provisions and sup plies furnished miners by the North American Trading and Trsnsp,ristion company coulh not bs ascertaiped, but 1t was very large.
 ..rhs steamer Alice arrived at St. MicI,mri's on June 18th. bringing Aitr~n miners and half million in gold fer them and much ou i's own account. The pxssengers oS the Alice confirmed the news reported by the pas.-ng~rs of the Wesrs, which is + follows:
 .lh- richest goId strike the worbl has ever known was made in the Clon- dyke region last August and Ssptsna- Der, hut the news did not get even to Circle City until Decrmber 18th, when there WAS great stampede over the 800 miles intervening between there and the newer fields. On August 18th Georxs Cormack made the drst great strike on Bonansa creek and on August 18th seven claims were filed iu that region. Word got to Forty mile aud Circle City, but the news was looked upon as s Grubstake rumoF. On December 18th. however. authentic news was carried to Circle City by J.. II. wilsou of the Alaska Commercial company and Thomas O'Brien, . trader. They carried not only news. but prnspscts. and the greatest ssara- peds ever known in this part of the world commenced. Those who made the 300 miles first struck 1t richest.

Of all the 2O0 claims stHkr,l nu, on the Bonanxx and Fl Dorado crerks not nhe has proved ' blank.
 Equally rich finds were made June 9th to 10th on Dominion creek. NM less than 800 claims have been stakrsl out on Indian creek, and the surfac. indications are that these are as rich as any of the others. The larges, nugget yet found was picked up by Bert Hudson on claim No. 6 on thr Bonanza mine. and was worth $257. Next in size was one found by J. Clements on Indian creek. Wprlh t2Sl. The last four pans Clement took n were worth t20O0. and one went $776. Bigger packets have been struck in other regions. but nowhere else 'n earth has so rich x general find been made as In this seciion. In all nbou, ssven'y. five lucky miners have rrachs d St. Micl,asl's. Some brought but a portion of their cIean-up. prrferring to invest other portions in n'inrs they knew t0 bo rich.

Gopher Machine.

J. r. Reynolds of Dry Creek valley has
devised a method to exterminate gon,l-
ers, which is the cheapest, simplest and
most effective yet contrived. 1t is as
follows:
Take few raisins. little strychnine
and a drop or two Of oil of rhodium.
Open one end of each raisin with knife,
drop in a crystal of strychnine and pinch
the open end together so as to hold the
venom. Then place them in tin box,
in which put few drops of oil, shake it
well and let it stand a few hours when
the raisins will be ready for use. Find Il
fresh gopher hole, clean out the loose
dirt, push in the raisin, on top of which
place a lump of earth to prevent the
loose earth from covering up the raisin
and as soon as the gopher smells the oil
It will rush for it and devour the sweet
morsel, thus ending the pests career in
an instant.-Sonoma Tribune.
