But the Farmers Race was the
event of the day,-absolutely the fun
NEST thing ever pulled OFF, on this
race track. Three young men lined
up in front of the judges stand and
were told that the race was to be a
square trot, once around. The word
was given and they rushed to their
teams harnessed them and hltched
up. Baxley got into his wagon first
and started. but the check lines
hadn't been buckled to the brides.
So he had to stop and finish his har-
Messing. BY the time he was back
in his wagon the other two teams
were a quarter of the way around the
track. In his anxiety to Overtake
them Bailey forgot all about the
square trot" part of the program
and started his grays off in a hard
run. He slowed up a little at the
lower end Of the track, but as he
struck the home stretch, with one
team still ahead of him, he lit out
again on the dead run. AS he
caught up with Williams the latter
also forgot about the "square trot, "
or feared that he may have misun-
derstood, and pat the whip TO his
horses. So here they came, neck and
neck, laundering down the stretch.

shouts and laughter of the crowd.
On they came, under the wire and on
and on until the track was rounded
the second time. And then three
very warm and dusty and crest-fal-
len boys lined up before the judges
stand and said nothing while the
starter made some sarcastic remarks
about young men who couldn't UNI
derstsnd the English language. First
money was given to Williams, second
to Stuart, and Baxley was barred for
starting the run. But the crowd got
twice the worth of it's money.

A Better Cuban Feeling.

Reports from Santiago indicate that
the Cubans are coming to their senses
and are disposed to aid rather than
hinder the course Of American read
justment. Garcia has been crowded
ont of the army, Bermudez, an ex-high-
wayman, whose acts have drawn vigor-
Gus American protests, was lately ex-
ecuted for capital crimes, and Gomez
has ordered Generals Lacret, Castillo
and Perez, to put themselves at the dis
posal of the United States military au-
thorities. Meanwhile the pernicious
activity of Cuban guerrilla bands has
ceased in all the provinces. There was
no other sensible course for the insur-
gents to take. They never could
have made war without American help
and if they were to break with US, they
would soon starve to death unless sur
rounded and captured in the field. A
mere unwillingness to join in the work
of reconstruction would suffice to keep
them out of a share in the future gov
eminent of the island. But by taking
friendly course the insurgents are
putting the United States under obliga-
tions to them, which are certain to be
paidas soon as Cuba is freed from its
Spanish membranes. When that will
be is u point for the joint military COM
mission to decide. So far no signs of
hurry have been shown, as the United
states government does not want to put
garrisons in Havana and elsewhere un-
til cooler weather comes. Probably
the Commission will meet some time
this month, and its deliberations, judg-
ing from the great variety of questions
to be debated, are not unlikely to con-
tinue as long as did the sessions of the
Maine court of inquiry or even for a
longer period.

The number of prospectors

Inc numDer OF prOSpecJOrS
working along the coast between
Lynn Canal and the extreme
southern end of Alaska is est.
mated at 1900. These figures do
not include those who are work
ing on the Stikeen river or other
rivers, prospecting for placer,
they are simply a conservative
estimate of the number of miners
looking for quartz leads on or
near the coast. The results
are shown by the great number
of locations recorded daily at
the recorders offices in Wrangel
and Juneau. Hardly a day passes
that some prospector does not
come in here torecord a batch of
locations, running in number,
from two or three up to dozen.
Due allowance must be made for
the fact that great many of
these claims are not, properly
speaking, pay claims, but the in
disputable fact remains, that
some of these claims are good
property, and the near future
will demonstrate their actual
value. The great thing needed
is capital to develop properties
already located. 1t seldom hap
pens that the locator is a person
with sufficientmoney to properly
develop his claim, and he must
either sell his property or inter
est others in it. Already the
eyes of capitalists are looking on
Alaska for a field in which to in
vest their surplus, and those who
remain for few years will wit
ness a wonderful change for the
better. Wrangel is centrally To-
Gated, with great natural advan-
tages, and is bound to become
the greatest city in Alaska. Our
citizens must all do their share
however, and work unitedly for
the grand good of all. There
must be no trusting to others for
as Miles Standish says "if you
want thing done we'll, do it

 At 1:3O the association reconvened and the first few minutes were spent in enrolling the members of the asso- citation.
 The first subject brought before the teachers was: The Nesd to the Boy and to His Country That He Be Edu- cated How Shall He Be Kept in School?" and was presented in a. paper by Professor W. E. Creager.
 He said: "The purpose for which man was created is to be good, and in order to obtain this result the boy must be taught to recognize and prac- tice the duties which he owes to him self and to others. The brilliant vic tories just achieved during our recent national difficulty were ascribed to the work of our schools, being due not only to superior arms, but to the eff fective work of our men,"
 School athletics, personal attach ment, cordial encouragement from the teacher, and the awakening of an in tersst in branches studied, were given as means for keeping boys in school.
 Territorial Superintendent Snowman spoke to the teachers on needed re- forms in our school law. He made many helpful suggestions, and his pa per which was exceedingly compli- mentary to the teachers, was given by vote of the association to the commit tee on school law.

THE HEYDON SUICIDE
The Victim Died Under nisappre,
 hension Of His Condition.

The inquisition into the circum- stances of the death of Frank HeydOn, who committed suicide by shooting, at James McBride's ranch, was finished before Justice Johnstone yesterday af- ternoon. The jury found that thc de- ceased came to his death by pistol wound inflicted by his own hand, but the verdict stopped short at the words, with suicidal intent" The omission was an Expression of a kindly senti- ment, which though it can do no good, it can do no harm. It is not a matter of record that Heydon died a suicide. The inquest developed very little that
 was not published in The Republican yesterday morning. Inc principal wit nesses were MT. MdBride and MT. J. D. Sandsrson, who knew Heydon at his home in Chatfield, Minn., and who the young man requested a few min utes before he shot himself, might be informed if anything unforeseen hap pened to him.
 MT Sanderson said Heydon was about twenty-three years old, a son of H. H. Heydon, a hardware dealer of ChatffeId He was a model young man morally and physically. He had tendency toward athletics and was ball player. About two years ago ct
 the close of game he went in swimming. That was the beginning of the troubles which culminated in his suicide. Within less than twelve hours after he emerged he was a sick man and was never afterward well. The progress of his disease was rapid, marked by frequent hemOrrhages. He spent the winter year ago at Albu- que.que He came to Phoenix about two weeks ago and on the way con tracted a cold which steadily grew worse. The post mortem revealed all most wholly congested lungs.
 l Heydon was probably unaware that he had pneumonia, but believed his condition was another downward stage in his original disease It was this misapprehension, perhaps, that i'm Ipelled him to commit suicide. It is believed that he had contemplated it for day or more. He was in town on Wednesday morning and received let
 ters and packages from the pOstoffice. i They were from his home, but none of them were opened. He probably feared that something they contained would weaken his resolve to die. The weapon used was 8. 38 Smith & Wesson from
 his fathers store. He held the muzzle l at his right temple. The ball passed
 through the head diagonally and down.
 ward, emerging behind the left ear.
 It was found on the floor.
 His father was informsd of his death 1 yesterday morning and three hours
 later instructions were received to em-
 balm the body and send it home. It
 will be forwarded tonight.
