WHICH WILL WIN
All Sorts of Guesses on the
Gentry-Patchen Race.
LAST RACE OF SEASON
Weather Will be Superb and
the Track Fine.

All kinds Of guesses are being made on
the coming race between John r. Gentry
and Joe chen at Wichita, which takes
place wednesday, September q. As the
NATIVITY OF bt IN OF these champi11 sal
lions was In this county. public senti-
ment on the result of the race here Is
divided.
In the first place one Of the great races
in the history OF all horsedom is antaca-
mated. IT Is going to be go for blood
The mile track IS being put In splendad
condition. It will be the last time this
year that the two stations viii be placed
| side by side. Both will try to lower all
existing harness records. The weather
promises to be perfect for racing.
George Holdridge Is one who thinks tnat
Joe Patchen will win the race. He says:
You will notice that Joe Patchen keeps
at Il. The other day Gentry was taken
off the track and his driver fined. Pat
chen took the race. Gentry Is sometimes
Eighty. Patchen is always plodding away.
In my opinion Patchen will take the race
In wichita There is no mistaking. 1t IS
going to be q great race. Everybody an
ticipates a record breaker. Over In east
ern Kansas the interest in the event Is
as great as 1t is right here. I understand
this Is also true Of Oklahoma and west
ern Kansas"
Charles Mosbacher, when asked which
horse would win says: 81 am an Ashland
Wilkes advocate. stand by the Ashland
Wilkes family. You know have a Wilkes
product myself. should say. IL you want
my guess, that Gentry will beat Pat
chen"
Steve Hayden spoke right up when ask
ed his opinion: why, Gentry will win.
You can iput your money down ON that.
Gentry is a winner. Some day he will
cut ffithose two seconds and go below,
up ahead OF Star Pointer. John r. Cen
try is sure to win the race"
Colonel H. g. Toler will not say which
horse he thinks will win the race, but
there is reason to believe that he inclines
to the belief that Patchen VIII come out
second best.
Col. Sam Hess said he hadn't thought
about 1t much and couldn't venture a
guess except that the horse that came in
ahead would win.
Doc Shuts says Gentry will win, but
John Heron differs from the general be-
lief. He says Patchen will win the WITCH
tia race with ease. He says they are
driving Gentry too hard.
Sam Amidon says it will be Gentry, but
that one OF these days a horse will come
out OF Wichita that will put Gentry and
Patchen away along with the back num-
bers.
Cash Henderson thinks Patchen win
win.

Yesterday Mr.. Rode Of Kansas City was
In the city looking over some of the old

Mr.. Rode was one Of the original shoe

who put the heel plates in with the boy
in stocking feet standing over him, hys-
terical from fear that the ice would melt
before the cobbler would ever get through.
He 1t was, too, who patched the youths
boots with a glue which smeiled to high

JUDGE BABB AT TOPEKA
Spoke Against Trusts at Labor Day
Celebration.

Judge W. J. Babb Of this city delivered
speech at the Labor Day exercises al
Topeka He spoke against trusts. The
Capital says of his address:
Judge w. ]. Babb devoted a great part
OF his speech to trusts and the kind Of
legislation that ne Thought would best
control them in the interests OF the peo-
pie.
He said that the people must either
control the trusts or the trusts would con-
troll them He illustrated the power Of the
trusts by relating a struggle between a
local oil company at Florence Col, and
the Standard OIL company to control the
oil trade in that town and surrounding
country.
An agent of the Standard OIL company
visited the plant Of the local company at
Lawrence. After inspecting the plant
thoroughly the Standard OIL man told the
manager Of the local company that his
plant was worth $4,000 and said that the
Standard company would pay that
amount for It The local company re-
fused to consider the offer. In a few DAYS
the price of oil was put down to two
cents. 1t cost five cents to manufac-
ture It.
The local company was soon compelled
to come to terms
The Standard OIL company, however.
refused to give but $4,000 for the local
company's plant.
But YOU offered to give US $4,000" said
the local manager to the agent OF the
Standard OIL company.
Eyes. But Is cost US $4,000 TO bring you
to terms" replied the Standard OH man
and that was all the local company could
get for the plant.
This" said the speaker. ais but an ex-
ample OF the power Of all trusts
Judge Babb suggestedltwo ways to con-
troll the trusts. One was direct legislation
by petition and the other was state ana
municipal ownership of certain public util-
ities.

FIGHT ON JOlNTISTs

Augusta

The prohibition fight is still on at
Augusta The authorities are kept busy
arresti'tg jointists. assessing fines and
fixing bonds. The last raid is mentioned
ythe FL Dorado Republican as follows:
"Constables Keplinger and Bowie Wis
tied our esteemed and notorious neighb r.

about the hour OF raided an Augusta
saloon. seized the stock of goods and ar
rested John Rife and NJ. E. Davis, upon
a charge of conducting the same and
violating the state law. Davis. who was
tried once before with 1. II. Byers and
not convicted, made his escape. Rife

ITS NAME IS CHANGED
Old Occidental Hotel an Old
Land Mark
CALLED THE BALTIMORE
Col. S. Billings of Guthrie
Assumes Control.

The Occidental hotel Is no more. It 4:
to be known hereafter as the Baltimore
Colonel s. Billings has purchased the
lease from A. s. Booton, who has beer
running the hosiery and will take charge
Of the house as soon as It is renovated
Colonel Billings is already known to
hundreds of Wichita people. He and his
estimable wife are known to almost
everybody In this section of the country
for for five years they have conducted
the Okla hotel at Guthrie. which has been
headquarters for politicians, business and
travelling men for a long time. All the
big political caucuses and trade gather
ings in Oklahoma Of recent years have
centered around this hotel, which was
always crowded and popular owing to the
ever present hospitality Of Colonel and
Mrs. Billings.
There is no question but they will
score a revival for the Occidental under
the name of The Baltimore.
The passing of the name Occidental is
of interest. For years the Occidental, a
three-story brick. was one of the most
well known buildings in the whole south
west 1t was an unusual name for a
hotel at that time, but for years after
every little hotel over the this section
took the name Occidental. Men from
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and the
Indian nations for years headed for the
Occidental like a thirsty traveller for an
oasis in Sahara Its construction in
Wichita was a body blow on the Douglas
Avenue house, until that time the mon
arch Of hotels here.
Its location has always been splendid.
as It is near the heart of the city and
within walking distance of all the depots.
At periods in the past It has not been al
ways successful, said to be due in several
instances to a lack of proper manage
ment.
In It's new experienced hands 1t Is sure
to be a success. as all who know Colonel
Billings and his estimable wife know.

some of the sons OF the Missouri Pacihi
system, the particulars of which wer'
published in the Eagle some time ago

'cMr. Guy r. Mabie:
'fMy Dear Sir-You are awarded the
western scholarship. your papers ranking
the first Of thirteen sets OF papers sent in
from five different states. Your testimo-
mails are excellent. Had there been any
other candidate whose papers equailed
yours, your fathers long service with the
Missouri Pacific system would have given
you the preference. I congratulate him
and you. 1 trust may see you at Uni
verst4y Heights September q. trust the
railway will provide you transportation.
Sincerely yours, J. C. M'CRACKEN.

The FL Dorado Republican says:
This certainly speaks well for Mr.. Ma
bic as there were number of very bright
young men in the Ave states who took
the examination.
Guy graduated from the university
course of the FL Dorado high school in
1899, with high honors, and had secured
country school for this year which ne
gladly surrenders and will leave for New
York in two weeks.
Miss Gould pays the tuition IN the col
lege for four years and allows $500 per
year for four years for board and expen-
ses. The hrst years course is a general
one ana Mr.. MabIe can choose whatever
professional or business course he desires
for the other three years. He will proba-
bly, choose medicine
Miss Gould Is certainly spending her
millions in philanthropic work and Il
making a mama that will live after she is
dead. What Is nobler or grander?"
