Jimmy Michael Makes Wonder
full Record.
Leads Eddie McDuffee by a Mile
at Chicago.
A MOTOR PACED RACE.
Little Welshman Rides Circles
Around Bostonian.
Johnny Nelson Tries For a Rec
ord But Fails.

Chicago. Oct. 22.-Jimny Michael rode
circles around Eddie McDuffee in their
ffteen-mile motor-paced race at the
Coliseum Saturday evening. Lap after
lap the speedy little Welshman gained,
until at the finale, when Jack Prince
the midget" was ten laps and four
yards to the good.
The Michael McDuffee race was far
and away the prettiest and cleaneSt cut
event Of the kind which has taken place
during the meet. Just to show what he
could do in the way of pace-following,
three times, while going at top speed
around the deep dished bowl, while the
crowd Of $500 cheered his nerve.
Michael took the lead from the start
Crooks and Sherer, the fastest of the
fast motor teams, were his first pace
makers and Michael caught them by
riding on his pedals, standing high over
his saddle in order to get the proper
Duffee by this squirt. Steadily he
widened the breach, and at the end of
the ninth lap of the first mile he had
made his gain a full lap. At the finish
of the second mile the ''rarebit" was a
lap and a half to the good, and by the
end Of the fifth he had made the gap two
and quarter laps.
Having this margin, Michael felt that
he could afford to do little fancy work
on the side. Newkirk and Stone start
ed an extra motor, and when the proper
speed had been attained A1ichaelS orig
inal pacemakers kept up the bank and
he dropped neatly behind, while the big
crowd cheered his performance. It was
like jumping from a train going at a
nile-a-minute clip to another, and in
a way where d misjudged movement
meant sure accident
BY the finish of the eighth mile
Michael had made his lead three and
half laps, and it was four and a half
when the hundredth circuit of the. ten
lap track had been finished Halfway
into the eleventh Michael again picked
up Crooks and Sherer with one of his
pretty drops With Michael six and a
third laps ahead in the sixth lap of the
thirteenth mile McDuffee's pace gave
out and the Boston man gave a nervy
exhibition, riding like mad about the
track in a grand effort to tack on be-
hind MichaeI's pace.
For six laps he rode thus before his
new team came on But Michael was
not to be denied, and at the finish Of the
fourteenth mile he had made the gap
eight and one-half laps. He was ten
| laps ahead at the finish of the ninth lap
of the fifteenth mile and a quarter lap
better at the end.
Johnny Nelson made a great effort to
| beat Michael'S record of lao for the
mile, and made the distance in 1:41 2-5.
| George Leander set Ralph Wheaton a
pretty pace in the five-naile match race,
and Wheaton stuck surprisingly well,
finishing only four yards behind.

LET HIS TRAIN GO.
Col. Bryan Stayed at Buffalo
Till He Finished His Speech.

Buffalo. N. Y, Oct. 22.-AIr. Bryan
concluded his four day campaign tour
of the state Of New York with two large
meetings in this city Saturday night
One of these meetings was held at the
Broadway market, and was an open air
gathering, and the other at Convention
hall. Before reaching Buffalo he had
made fifteen minute addresses during
the day beginning with a thirty minute
speech at Elmira, at o'clock in the
morning. The other places at which he
spoke were Corning, Bath, Coshocton,
Wayiand, LivOnia, Avon, Spencerport.
Brockport Holly, Albion, Medina Mid
dleport, Lockport, and Niagara Falls.
The attendance at most of the day meet
ings was good and at some Of them was
quite large.
During his state tour Mr.. Bryan has
made about sixty-f1ve different speeches
and has quite thoroughly traversed the
central belt Of the state from east to
west He left this city at u O'Clock
for Huntington, W. Va.
At Wayland Mr.. Bryan discussed the
foreign policy of the government as ex-
emplified in our management Of the
Philippines. He condemned that policy,
but said he had never lost hope.
when the children Of Israel were in
bondage" he said, lit took them several
years to secure their release, and it was
not secured until the Staying of the first
born. In our cause / believe that the
staying of the first born is going on in
dying to purchase trade with human
blood that syndicates may exploit the
islands, and / believe that in the slay-
ing of the first born the eyes Of the
people will be opened to the iniquity of
the Republican party's policies"
Hundreds had been turned away from
Convention hall before Mr. Bryan ar
rived. When he entered, the great au-
dience arose, and with waving flags and
roaring cheers, made a demonstration
that only the most strenuous efforts of
the candidate could quiet.
Standing dramatically, with extended
arms, he hushed the tumult into quiet.
In a few words he pointed out that the
campaign was nearly closed and that
the time of decision was close at hand.
While Mr.. Bryan was in the midst Of his
anti-imperialistic argument, at 1850
o'clock, he was told he must close at
once to catch his train. Turning to the
audience Mr.. Bryan said:
sWere to consider my own strength
I should close now. but at the end Of
a hard weeks work / am willing to
travel little further for the sake OF
staying little longer. 1 am going to
stay with you"
The audience went into a tumult Of
ecstacy that almost equalled the first.
At 11:15 o'clock he concluded his ad-
dress.

Judge Hook Makes a New De-
cisiOn In Court.
Refuses to Hold Man Accused of
Passing Bad Money.
NOT A FEDERAL CRIME
Confederate Bills Not Enough
Like the Genuine.
Other Judges Found Such Acts
to Be Criminal.

Leavenworth. Kas., Oct. pa deci-
sion that will. no doubt. have the effect
of causing a large number of habeas
corpus proceedings to be brought in the
United States courts, was handed down
States district court.
Judge Hook holds that there is not
enough similarity between a genuine
greenback and a confederate bill to hold
a man charged with passing the con-
federate bill for genuine money. The
decision was handed down in the trial
of William L. Schraag, a soldier in COM
Tnny 1, First infantry, charged with
passing a So confederate bill for a
greenback, on a grocerynan here.
When the trial was called Schraag's at
torney, Lee Bond, moved the court to
uuash the indictment for the reason that
there was not enough resemblance to
genuine money in the confederate bill
to cause it to be taken for genuine
money.
This was the first time the point has
ever been raised in the court, and, after
deliberation, Judge Hook sustained the
motion and the indictment was quaShed.
Judge Hook, however, withheld his
ruling until the state authorities can be
communicated with relative to handing
Schraag over for trial on the charge OF
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Last year John Pierson, on trial before
the court on the charge of passing con-
federate money for genuine money,
pleaded guilty, and Judge Hook SEN
fenced him to one year in the United
States penitentiary. A number of such
cases have been tried before Judge PM
ipps in Kansas City, and where the de-
PENDANT was found guilty he was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary on the charge
of passing counterfeit money.

ROOM TO EXPAND.

Imperial Clothiers viii Use Second
Floor of New K g I. of S. Building.
The work of tearing down the old fire
department building is well under way.

the hands of the national executive
committee Of the Knights and Ladies
of Security. The building viii be four
stories high, but the roof will be on a
level with their property on the corner
of Seventh street and Kansas avenue

ditional floor may be placed in the build
ing
The lower floor Will be divided into
three store or Office rooms with an adj
ditional little room about ten feet wide

practically the same level as the tioor
now occupied by 1.-The WOman'S Store
and the Robinson, Marshall Clothing
company. The south half of the second
floor has been leased to the Robinson,
Marshall company. and by cutting out
the rear wall and putting in about four
or five steps the Imperial cIothiers will
have a store room which viii be 25x-25
feet.
The north side Of the second floor will
be divided into Office rooms. as viii also
the third floor. The entrance to the
second floor offices will be from the
stairway and entrance to the Security
building on Seventh street, and the en-
trance to the third floor offices may be
either from the Seventh street hall or
the Kansas avenue stairway
The fourth floor will be fitted up as a
lodge ROOM The Security lodge room
now is one of the best in the city, and
the new room may be even better.
The building will cost nearly $4,000.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible ma1ady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and peru1a-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. s. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
Of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

Sued For kissing On the stage.

One often hears Of troubles caused
through actresses being kissed on the
stage by some passionate actor. The
latest story comes from Munich. Dur
ing a performance Of ''Gircfe Girofla"
the woman playing the heroine was
kissed by the impersonator of Maras-
quin. The manageress-not the actress
objected to what she thought was an i'm
modest act, and now the case is to be
brought into the court at Munich The
actors defense is that he was only fol-
lowing the instructions of the author,
but in Bavaria there is a. law which pro

Manhattan, Oct 22.-The most disa-

winds, dust laden, greeted the $50 excur-

Hutchinson on a visit to the college.
The trip was planned by superintendent
Dayhoff, of Reno county, and his party
was composed largely Of teachers. The
intensely disagreeable weather interior

departments, attending chapel exercises
and Witnessing a drill by the college ca
