MADE A GREAT HIT
Race Meeting Gets Very Compliment
AIRY Notices.

The newspapers of Kansas and Okla
homa are using fine compliments in their
references to the race meeting held here
last week. They simply confirm what the
Eagle stated Of the races and reiterate
what was the opinion of everybody who
was there Here are some notices:

! as the BLACK WhilrWind," was In great
| fettle and he beat his bay rival in straight
| heats. The first heat was paced in 2:03h,
| the quarters being reached in BIZ, 1:O3,
| 1884, and 2:03Ia. In the second heat he
was sent to his speed limit and the quar-
ters were passed in :3114, 1:O214, 1:33 and
2:021a, in spite of heavy wind, which
! his driver, Billy Andrews, claimed made
the track second slow. Patchen and his
| driver were given an ovation.
From the Valley Center Index; A great
many people from Valley Center attended
the big race between John r. Gentry and
Joe Patchen at Wichita Wednesday. All
present were we'll satisfied with the per-
Torrance Of the horses and many were
! the compliments bestowed upon the noble
steeds who were endowed with the intel
Iigence almost equal to human with the
nerve undaunted in the world of reckless
ness and bravery and with muscled limbs
strong and durable as steel. Joe Patchen
won two straight heats and race in the
remarkably fast time Of 2:021a.. This was
indeed a most remarkable performance
and had the horses not been handicapped
by the wind. a new worlds record would
have undoubtedly been established. While
Patchen beat Gentry in this race, the son
of Ashland Wilkes bested the black stall
lion at Oklahoma City last week two
straight heats. The time made at that
place was 2:071S, on a half mile track.
AS a half mile track is considered five
seconds slow, this would bring the mile
down to 2.O2 had the race been paced on
a mile track
From the Cheney Sentinel: 1t took five
extra coaches to carry the people from
this part Of the country to Wichita yes
erday to see the race between Gentry and
Patchen. Larger crowds have been in
Wichita before, but the crowd yesterday
was big one. It could be plainly seen
that most of the people considered Cen
try the better horse, owing, perhaps, to
the tone of the newspaper comments Of
the last few days, but the people from
this region hoped that Patchen would be
the winner. He being a Cheney horse ac-
counts for this, and the result showed
that he, like all things else from the west
end, was the superior, winning the race
easily. Official time, 2:0919.
FROM a RamDIerS NOTES IN hlnSley
Mercury: We saw Frank McGill and c.
White Of Lewis here at Wichita. They
came down to see Patchen and Gentry,
the two most noted horses in the United
States. They ran on Wednesday, the 9th
inst, and Patchen won in 2:021a.
From the Conway Springs Star: Guess
we can have frst-class horse race as
well as Wichita, A running horse owned
by w. A Crawford and one owned by H.
Berger, made pretty good time on the
track here last Saturday, Crawford's
horse winning the race. 1t is said that
Crawford has a horse that will make his
mark yet. Bergers horse is a sorrel
which Charley Locke brought to this
place. Why don't the boys let US know
about these races so we can announce
them a week ahead? If the people knew
about the races there would be good
crowds here to see them.

A splendid and representative audience

A splendid and representative audience
greeted the great magician at the theater
last night. In days long past when the
elder Hermann used to come and mysti
+ yand eIectrify the people, the opinion
then was that there was and could be but
one Hermann, but now the younger man
is even better than older ever was. He
has added many interesting features in
addition to his legerdemain, and the opin-
ion of musical experts was that the uar-
tette was the equal of any ever seen and
heard here. Nothing was more marvel
Gus and more mystifying than the feats
of legerdemain seen last night and the
beautiful and soul stirring music will live
in recollection until them come again.
The palming of billiard balls, coins, cards,
rings, watches, aid in fact all sorts of
things, is a delight and marvel to the be-
holder. There were several sensational
illusions on the program, illusions so as
founding as TO make one almost believe
In the weird and supernatural and to
llken the performer to the real Prince of
Darkness. All were well pleased with the
Recommendations Constitution.

KAISER is NEUTRAL
IN DREYFUS CASE

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-The second trial by
court-martial of Captain Dreyfus at Rem
mes excited much comment here this week,
especially the attempt on the life of M.
Labori and General Mercier's so-calIed
announcements. The latter are not taken
seriously. His statement that Germany
was on the point of declaring war with
France in 1894 is ridiculed. The whole
German press is united on this point. The
extreme step which Germany would have
taken then if President Casimir- Perier
had not put a stop to the violent attacks
on the German embassy would have been
to send Count Won Munster Ledenburg
the German ambassador at Paris, on d
long leave of absence. In no case would
the relations of the two Governments
have assumed a threatening aspect.
The Tageblatt calls General MERCER S
revelations prepoSterous, and the Frank
fort Zeitung says General Mercier's talk
about Germany meaning war in January,
1885, has excited only hilarity throughout
Germany.
The Cologne Gazette, calling the present
state Of the French mind "a species of
dementa,' says nobody in Germany takes
General Mercier seriously.
While the energy of the French Govern
ment is generally commented on favor
ably, doubts are expressed as to whether
affection in the army
Emperor William, on receiving the news
of the attempt on the life of M. Labori,
during the ceremony of unveiling the
monument to his grandfather at Arolsen
on Monday used strong language in de-
nouncing the deed. He said the crime was
evidently part of regular plot His
Majesty has kept himself minutey in
formed of the incidents of the trial at
Rennes.
The correspondent here of the Associated
Press heard that a proposition, first made
in the English press and also taken up
by Il number of the papers here, for the
publication of some documents in the
hands of the German Government, calcu-
lated. to exculpate Dreyfus beyond all
doubt, was seriously broached to the EN-
peror and lengthily discussed. But he
finally concluded that this would not do
and that he must adhere strictly to mis-
system of absolute non-interference. Later
several of the inspired papers expressed
the same opinion.

"P,icquart." the general called sharply
will you come baek?" (Sensation)
Certainly" replied Picquart.
General Billot then said: II am very
pleased that Colonel Picquart has raised
the question of the secret funds; which
l had already brought before the Court
of Cessation. The secret funds are secret
funds, and / should, if | respected the
purpose for which they are assigned, say
nothing about them. l will endeavor to
say nothing which should remain secret.
The secret funds are placed at the dispo-
sition of the Minister of War for the ser
vice of the state, and the Minister has
only to account for them TO the President
of the republic. The President controls
and gives his discharge for the secret
fund. Colonel Picquart received from the
chief of the general staff the funds as
signed to his department. He could dis
pose of them as he liked, but this the
Minister decides, and with regard to the
requirement of the service. This distri-
button was with the approval of the Presi-
dent from the secret funds at his disposal

been distributed for thirty years, before
my advent to power, by all the Ministers of
was allowed the chief of the general staff
of the intelligence department. When the
credit of 100000 francs was asked for it
was for the service of the general staff
as Colonel Picquart believes. 1t was
asked for on the report of General de
Boisdeffre Chen chief of the general
staff), and not the report of Colonel Pic
quart, for the general service of the Sc
cret war funds.
These funds were expended, as Colonel
Picquart stated, 5000 francs by myself,
and, as General Roget said, 10000 francs
in 1896 and 10000 francs in 1897 by General
Gonse. The remainder was placed at the
disposal of my successor, M. de Freycinet,
who had this sum liquidated by President
Loubet. I will not say another word, but
l must deal with the perfidious insinua-
tion made to the Court of Cessation,
which is calculated TO deal blow to the
delicacy, fidelity and honor of the Minis
ter of War"
This statement caused applause in the
rear of the court but Colonel Jouaust cut
the demonstrations short by announcing
adjournment until Monday.

of Grape Nuts began to gain flesh

How could he gain lbs. and only
eat lb. Grape-Nuts? Remember the 4
teaspoons Of Grape-Nuts are but a
portion of the meal. but they furnish
the pre-digested and easily asslmilated

RAILWAY PROJECTORS
READY TO PROCEED
Company Will Organize To-Day to
Build the Stockton -Sacra-
! ,o,anfo Tine

STOCKTON, Aug. 19.-The projectors Of
the new railroad to Sacramento will con-
vene tomorrow, effect temporary organ
zation and take measures to put the pre-
limnary work under way. Those inter-
ested are anxious that it be distinctly
understood that the company is working
upon strictly independent enterprise.
They claim the Santa Fe denials recently
were unnecessary, as it was never intend
ed TO give out the impression that finan-
cial aid was expected from that source.
On the other hand. it is conceded the
company does not undertake to continue
as an Independent line if some purchaser
comes along prepared to talk business.
In this connection it is declared the pur-
chaser must agree to conditions which
are favorable to shippers.
A definite announcement of the COM
pany's plans may be given out next week
but it is known enough capital has been
pledged to carry the line a sufficient num-
Der of miles to float bonds upon and carry
it to its destination. The surveying party
is preparing to take the field.
