New York, Sept s.-Ffve thousand

Peter the Great, sold for $50. Lord
Vincent fetched the same price, while
the gray gelding Who Is It brought
the same price. Peter the Great led
the field from start to finish in both
heats and won in excellent time.
The 2:1S trOtting class had only a
small field, and though the bay gelding
Excel was backed at $50 to $40 against
the field, it proved to be the most pro-
lOnged contest of the day. Results:
2:l8 class, trOtting, best two in three;
purse $1,500-Excel won second and
fourth heats. Time, 2:10A; 2:15A.

PLAIN, EASY READING.
1t VIII Do You Good to Pom
der Over It.
A SPLENDID Article Which All the
People Are Now Talking
About.

What we say is plain, easy reading
and will do you good. The people of
Topeka are saying a great deal about
Morrow's Kid-ne-Oids just now because
MorrOw's Kid-ne-oids have cured so
many cases of backache, sleeplessneSs
and nervousness in this city. MOrrow'S
Kid-ne-Oids is a scientific preparation,
prepared in Yellow Tablet form, and
acts directly upon the kidneys and
nerves. Do not connect Morrow's Kid
ne-oids with any kind of kidney pills,
they are yellow tablets. put up in wood
en- boxes which contain enough for
about two weeks treatment and sell at
fifty cents a box at all drug stores.
We ask you to read what one of our
tOwnsmen has to say about the great
merit of Morrow's Kid-ne-Oids.
VIM. H Sweeney, 533 Harrison street,
Topeka, Kansas, says: There is moth
ing too good to say in favor of Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids and MorroW's Liver
lax when all other remedies fail. They
have accomplished more for my wife
and me than was claimed for them. We
have discovered Kid-ne-oids to be
splendid tonic"
Morrow's Kfd-ne-oids are not pills
but yellow tablets and sell at fifty cents
a box. Morrows Liver-lax are small
red granules and sell at twenty-five
cents a box. Both can be purchased
at Swift & Holidays drug store.

Final Pennant strueele.

Should Brooklyn continue at its present
gait and win IS per cent of its remaining
games. that is. q out of 40 it will finish
with los games won and 40 lost. In order
to beat this record. Boston must win "a
out OF s. or nearly 80 per cent, pace
that the champions have shown only in
very short stretches this season. On the
other hand. should Boston win 80 straight
then Brooklyn will be compelled to cap
ture SO out of 40 in order to win the cham
piOnship. Both feats will be exceedingly
difficult and in BOston's case practically
impossible, considering the teams the
champions will meet What is more reas-
enable is to allow Boston about two-thirds
of its remaining games. which is several
points better than its gait heretofore. In
that case. Brooklyn must win % out of 40
to capture the pennant, a little over 81
per cent, or 16 points below its gait up to
the present. Taken every way, with the
possibility of accident left out Brooklyn
is destined to win the championship.

proposed that if the men win second
place and get the 81 500 prize offered by

end of the season. All the men here
agreed and the BrOoklyns will be chal-
lenged to combat.
The Philadelphia team proposed to
play Thursdays and Fridays games
with Washington in this city, where
they could have made a barrel of
money. But Baltimore and Brooklyn
objected, consequently Colonel Rogers
is hot. At Maui, the pitcher, was re-
lea sed by Hanlon and he promised not
to play any more. But Maui has Whis-
pered in Rogers ear that now he is re-
leased he will play with the Phillies
for a bonus. And the Phillies are
thinking over it.

STRENGTHENING TRACKS.
The Santa Fe Taking Out Curves Be-

tween Las Vegas and Albuquerque.
The Santa Fe railroad is continuing
the work of Strengthening out the track
between Las Vegas and Albuquerque.
When the road was constructed %
years ago the roadbed was planned on
the Lines of the least resistance" For
that reason some parts of the track are
wonderfully crooked. The Santa Fe
company is now engaged in making a
new rOadbed at such places, with the
result of almost entirely getting rid of
the curves. At present a grading crew
of % or more teams are working on
stretch of track between Ribera ard
Blanchard. The distance to be worked
over is between a half and three-quar-
tiers of a mile. At one place an ex-
tremely large stone culvert is being
built and at others cuts 20 feet deep
are being made in solid rock When
completed, however, the curve viii be
no longer in the roadbed.
At the "ore spur east of the Glor-
ieta mountain, the track makes dou-
Bile S curve. A force of men has COM
menced working at this place and in
time straight line will supersede the
present curve. All of this is expensive
work however, and will cost a pretty
good sum of money.

NO MORE JUDGEMENTS.
Rock Island 1nstructs It Conductors

AS a result of the forcible ejectment of
Mrs. Randall from Rock Island train at
the depot in this city Tuesday afternoon,
the Rock Island company has issued in
StructiOnS that hereafter no person is to
be put off train on account of defective
transportation or for other reasons when
there is the slightest doubt in favor of
the passenger. Instead. conductors will
be expected to telegraph the executive
officers in Chicago, and passengers will be
elected only when ordered by these offic-
ialS.
When a forged or mutilated ticket or
pass is found the conductor is to take up
the same and wire for instructions. Of
course the order does not cover trampS
stealing rides nor other cases of fragrant
deception, but it will protect passengers
who would under ordinary circumstances
be subject to ejectment.
