state that tho receiver will sell the
land over again, as the pun chasers ARE
without means and cannot pny for the
same. The total price realized for
land and chattols was upwards of $780,
900, but as the land will be sold again,
and figured at about $4,000 in the
above total, 1t is likely that u much
smaller sum will finally be realized
and divided among the stockholders.

A few years ago the republican
screechers said strikes were caused by
the democratic hard times; now the
same fellows say otrilses are caused by
the republican prosperity. 1t is re-
markable how nicely these shouters

Soon we may expect to hear that crop
failures are due to democratic sacc1ss

The strongest argument that can
be produced on the question Of postal
savings banks, Is the fact that many
Of the public officers, such as city and
county treasurers are taking advant-
age OF the U. s. law which provides,
that when person has more postofiice
orders than the local postmaster Is
able to pay off, he may take postal
certificate Of deposit in lieu OF said p.
o. orders, which certificate makes our
government responsible for said
amount This is practical demon
stration of the efficiency Of the postal
savings bank system advocated by the
reform party. Our county treasurer
has awaited himself of this safeguard
and has quite snug sum deposited
with Uncle Sam. The establishment
of this system throughout the U. S.

try, as it is these people who deposit
their earnings in savings institutions

Last Thursday afternoon Il big
crowd of persons went from Oakland
to Loeb Lynn Heights to witness the
races advertised to take place there
that day under the auspices of the
Loeb Lynn Heights Driving Associa-
ton, but the Oakland people as well
as those from Loeb Lynn Heights,
Mountain Lake Park and adjoining
towns, were greatly disappointed.
The weather was all that could be
desired for such sport and among the
number present were many ladies.
The races were advertised to begin
at 2.30 but it was nearly four O'Clock
before the first horse appeared upon
the track, when a hurdle race with
five entries took place. The next
was a half mile dash and repeat, won
by Browning's horse with Cheeseman's
horse a good second.
While resting for the second heat,
trotting match was made up be-
tween Maroney's Emperor Wilkes
and Martins Oakland Eathan.'' the
latter a three-year-old. This race
was clear give way by the driver of
Emperor Wilkes" who allowed the
colt to beat. Those who had staked
their money on the horse refused to
surrender the stakes. A general row
ensued and free fight followed,
which practically broke up the races.
One or two scrub races took place
afterwards but not before the great
majority Of the visitors had become
thoroughly disgusted and left.
The racing fraternity of Loeb Lynn
will experience some difficulty in get
ting as good an attendance for some
time to come.
