NEXT WEEKS RACES.
Fast Horses Already on the Ground,
Including John Nolan, 2:OS.

Mr. Willis o. Foote of Dallas, Texas,
unloaded a string of race horses at the
fair grounds this morning. He will
make the first start of his stable here.
He will go from here to the great cir
cult meetings of the east. Mr.. FoOte
has with him John Nolan, 2:08, the
greatest money winner out last year.
This horse started 12 times and won
nine first moneys, two records and was
behind the money once. He won first
money in the great $4,000 Hartford
stakes, the greatest achievement of any
horse during the season This horse Is
in fine condition now, and Mr.. FOOte
says he can beat the track record in
Topeka by several seconds very handi-
ly. A reporter saw this horse in his
stall at the fair grounds this morning,
and his legs are as clean and free
from puffs and blemishes as those of a
wild horse on the plains He is dark
bay above 16 hands high, and is sup
posed to be the fastest trOtter that will
be on the turf this year. He will start
in the e-for-all-trot next Thursday
and there are three other good ones
that will surely force him to beat the
track record.
Secretary Foster says that while the
entries are not large in numbers, they
are immense in quality.
They contain a half dozen faster
horses than were ever started in To-
peka He saws: considering the quail
the best meeting ever held here. The
horse show feature is very promising,
and much credit is due to the special
committee of which Mr.. F. E. Wear is
chairman, who has this part of the
program in charge" Seery & Morton
say they have sold eight carriages to
be exhibited in this part of the enter
tainment and Warner & Potter have
sold about the same number, and Kinley
& Lannan have been overrun with
work in consequence of preparations
for exhibitors in the show ring.

Advice

Clean and purify out of your body all
the poisons and dangerous ingredients
that have found their way into your
blood.
What are the great cleansing and pur-
flying organs of the body for, if not to
keep your whole system cleans pure,
fresh, natural and healthy?
When they are clogged, dirty and
sluggish from poison and impurity,
what can you expect but disease and
ugliness?
Dirt is poison, and poison is disease.
Dirt in your blood is the deadliest kind
of poison.

TORE DOWN GERMAN FLAG
Fourth of July Episode in Honolulu
Which May Become an Inter-
ternational Incident.

Honolulu, July There was a flag
incident here on the Fourth OF July
which promises to be made an interna-
tional episode. Carl Klemme, proprie-
tor of the Orpheum hotel, gayly deco
rated his building In American c~olors,
hoisted the American flag over it and
under the American flag the German
flag. Later n friend of his wanted to
sse the American flag, and Klemmo
good-naturedly loaned him his, leaving
the German flag floating alone from
the flagstaff. j. II. West saw it and
ordered Klemme to haul 1t down.
There had been ill-will between the
two men before, and KlemmeI refused
to take orders from his enemy. West
%thereupon gathered a lot of soldiers
from the transport Sheridan and
showed them the German flag floating
on the Fourth of July on American ter
ritory.
The soldiers at once proceeded to the
roof, tore down the German flag, de.
stroyed it and put in its place some
red, white and blue bunting torn from
other decorations on the building
West today was fined 500 in the police
court for malicious mischief, and the
German consul general will make q
report of the matter to his govern.

Boheminns Celebrate.

Tyndall, S. d., July 1.-THE Thir-
tieth anniversary of the settlement OF
the Bohemians in South Dakota was
fttingly celebrated here this week by
several thousand Bohemians from the
surrounding counties and from Ne
braska. The town was well decorat-
ed with American and Bohemian flags.
Music, speaking and feasting were the
order of the day. Among the speak
ers was Congressman Gamble, of
Yankton. The Bohemians were a
happy crowd, and they certainly have
cause to rejoice over their present
prosperity. Thirty years ago they
were all poor, but now practically all
have comfortable homes and good
farms. Arrangements were made to
celebrate the event every year in the
future.

MEANT TO MASSACRE
AMERICAN TROOPS
Capture Of a Letter Sent From Ma
Mia by Aguinaldo kverted =
Butchery.
STORY OF OREGON OFFICERS
Declare Aguinaldo Had Plans All
Laid for Slaughter OF Amer.
loans, but His Plot Was
Discovered.

San Francisco, July 15.-The officers
of the Second Oregon, while vera
guarded in their statements, admit
that the condition of the American
troops at Manila at the outbreak OF
hostilities between the United States
and the insurgents was very critical
The capture of a letter sent from in'
side our lines in Manila by an ennis
sary of Aguinaldo was probably all
that saved our army from a terrible
disaster, possibly humiliation. The
letter contained details of q plot to
open the gates of Manila, sack the city,
murder the guards and allow the in
surgent army to pour into the Amerl'
can camps and surprise the men.
Troops were under arms all night to,
meet the expected attempt, but tho
enemy learned of the capture OF the
letter, and the only part Of the plot
carried out was the burning OF a por-
ton of the city of Manila.
Bishop Tells the Same Story.
Cincinnati, July IA. NJ. Thoburn,
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
who has spent forty years as a mission
pry, mostly in India, is here with his
family, some of whom are in i'll health.
The bishop spent some time in Manila
i'm March last and was an intelligent
observer of events. He says there Is
no doubt that the outbreak between
the Americans and Filipinos was in
tended by Filipino leaders to include a
general massacre In the city Of Manila.
He cited in proof of this the testi-
mony Of two Filipino servants VINO
we're summoned to service in the army
by Aguinaldo and who dared not dis
obey, but who warned their American
employers to keep within doors h a
night, as orders had been given to Kill
ali Europeans found on the streets.
more evidence was the finding OF 5000
new knives stored in a Catholic church.
Only the splendid discipline OF h
American troops prevented the massa-
ere in Manila.
The bishop was in London when the
thrilling news of Dewey's victory
came. It was universally understood
there, he said, that it meant the per-
manent possession of the Philippines
bv the United States. To questions
put to him why Dewey did not leave
Manila after his victory, he said the
shortsightedness of the United States
government made it Impossible. Dewey
had not coal enough to carry him to
the nearest American coaling station,
and he was bound to take Manila in
self defense.
The whole history Of the present
Philippine situation showed such a
natural and logical and even inevitable
course of events that the United States
is bound to assert its authority there.
Anarchy and assassination, he de-
FLARES, would follow the withdrawal of
the United States forces. The only
troubles lies in Luzon island. All the
other islands are peaceful.
\ The bishop thinks the proper policy
OF the United States is TO enlist the
men Of the other islands, who are the
natural enemies of the inhabitants of
iuzon, to fight A%guinaldo's army. As
sisted by the Americans they would
quickly disperse the few men that
Aguinaldo can muster.

GOLD SHIP AT PORT TOWNSEND
Said to Have 10000 Pounds of Vel
low Dust Aboard.

Port Townsend, Wash, July 15.-
The steamship Orizaba arrived from
the north this morning bringing fifty
returning Klondikers, most of whom
have gold dust ranging from $1,000 up
to several thousand. The ships strong
box contains 10000 pounds of the yell
low metal from the interior. This
party arrived up-river from Dawson
on the steamer Terrell.
Some passengers direct from Atlin
report that claims i'm that district are
being worked. They say that Judge
Irving, who was sen to Atlin to
straighten out mining properties, is
giving great satisfaction and in award
ing all claims to original locaters they
are permitted to commence work. He
makes no distinction between Amer
leans and Canadians and holds that
Americans who have taken out miners
licenses in accordance with the laws
in Columbia prior to the alien X
clusion law, and located claims, are
entitled to the same privilege as Ca
nadians.

PURE FOOD LAW.
Adulterated Eatables Must Soon Be
Labeled I'm South Dakota.

Labeled I'm South Dakota.
Springfield, s. d., July 1.-THE
pure food law which went into eff
feet the first of the month is causing
considerable interest among the peo-
pie as well as among the retail and
wholesale grocers doing business in
South Dakota. 1t does not forbid
the sale of adulterated foods, but pro-
vides that they be marked adulterat-
ed, and that a list Of what is used
to adulterate the article be given on
the package or can.
The law is in favor among the bet
ter class Of grocers who handle good
goods, but is not liked by those hand
ling the cheap grades. They find
people do not care to buy sugar when
the barrel is plainly marked "adulter-
ated with gypsum" or pepper com-
posed principally Of buckwheat and
maple syrup made out Of glucose and
chickory bark. Practically they all
will comply with the law, however.
There is some discussion as to
whether the law applies to stocks On
hand at the time the law went into
effect, or only to goods purchased
after that date. II Is understood the
wholesalers doing business in the
are making provision to comply
with the law by properly labelling all
goods sent into the state by them.
Among the people the law is very
popular.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Demand For Iron aud Steel Contin'
ues Unprecedented.

ues Unprecedented.
New York, July 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The iron production in the first week
of July was 263,3e3 tons. A strike
July 1 closed seven Shenango furnaces
producing 1900 tons daily, though 1t 10
expected to end today, and several 9TH
er furnaces have begun producing this
month. The increase of 1901 tons
weekly in June, with a decrease Of so,-
900 tons in unsold stocks not of the
great steel companies, implies a pro-
duction OF about 1,12s,690 tons in June.
Prices are climbing, but only for the
trifing surplus not covered by con-
tracts, SO that quotations represent
but an insignificant part of the actual
business. 1t is of more Importance
that new orders, though very many,
seem nc longer equal to the weekly
output, except in a few branches, while
furnaces and other works, practically
abandoned for many years, are lighted
again.
Copper is q shade weaker at Is IA
cents for lake, the government report
ing the output in 1898 as 526,315,39l
pounds. Tin is strong, with London
speculation at 1925 cents and lead is
advanced by the smelling company to
ass cents.
The largest shipment Of boots and
shoes in any year for the season oc-
curred-l93, 1850 cases in two weeks
greater by ia per cent than last
year, the result of very extensive
pressure to anticipate orders for Au-
gust and September and distribution
far exceeding expectations. Hemlock
sole leather sells largely, but some
kinds slowly with slight yielding in
prices.
Though cotton is steady, In spite of
Texas floods, at 6.19 cents and the gen
eral demand for cotton goods is full
and sustains prices,a reduction Of half
a cent in some fancy prints is reported.
In wool a great speculation is in prog
ress, sales in two weeks reaching
%, 261, 100 pounds, against 2S,572,S00 in
1897, when the buying vas to antici-
pate near duties. 1t is worth noticing
hat no purchases by manufacturers
are mentioned as 0 1000 pounds.
Failures for the week have been 169
n the United States, against ais last
year, and "a in Canada, against 90 last
year.
