WE'LL HAVE A RACE TRACK.
Land Has Been Secured Near by and thu
Raising of Funds Will
Begin at Once.

The long cherished hope of a large
number of horsemen of this city and
vicinity, as well as many other
citizens. to have a race track near
this city, seems to be now almost
certain of realization.
The difficulty heretofore has been
that a suitable location handy to
the city could not be secured, but
through the generosity of Maj. A. G.
Morrill,, this difficulty has been re-
moved, and the race track question
will without doubt be quite salts
factorliy solved at an early date.
Mr.. Morrill, has granted the use Vi
d forty-acre tract of land, just west
of p. w. Hays residence, which he
has used for several years as pas
ture, for this purpose for an indefi-
mite period. The soil of this land is
admirably suited for a race track,
and the topography OF the tract is
such that but little work will be re.
quired to build a first-class track.
Now that the ground has been
secured, and it's location a most de.
sirable one, the promoters will put
forth their best efforts to secure the
necessary funds to have the track
fixed up at once There are quite a
number of horse owners who will
contribute to the track. Not only
those who have race horses, but the
owners of drivers who want to
have a handy place for the develop.
ment of colts both for single and
double harness work, are interested
in it, and will give financial aid as
we'll as render other assistance.
A good race track near the city
will no doubt prove of considerable
benefit to the city. Race meetings
could be held at least twice a veal
that would be very interesting and
would bring many of the farmers tc
town to see them.
their power to aid the horsemen in
this matter. For the present the in
tention is to only build the track
and a suitable grand stand, leaving
the expense OF fencing the grounds tc
later date, when the project has
proved itself a success.
Some advocate the securing of thit
tract by the county for a fair ground
which would, no doubt, be the prop
er course, to pursue, but if not sue
cessful in this direction the citizens
should form an association to con
duct it, and they would find that il
would prove good Investment, az
similar ones have in other places

She spoke first of the wonderful in
vention of the written or printed
word that preserves the best
thoughts and ideas of all the ages.
A great author is the outgrowth Of
the generations preceding him, gen
erations who have struggled against
wrong and oppression, VINO have
loved truth, purity and honor and
whose inspirations have ever led them
forward to higher and nobler thing&.
Thus it is that the expression Of all
these highest and noblest thought,
whether in prose or poetical form,
makes the literature Of any people q
divine inspiration, an influence for
good beyond calculation. The liter
allure of the English language is GER
tainly among the best in the world
and it is so because of the qualities
of our ancestors of the Anglo.Saxon
race. Their love OF liberty and
struggles for freed ON, their courage,
chivalry and virility, that have won
for them the first place among the
civilized nations of the earth, have
also resulted in giving us q literat ure
unsurpassed by that Of any people, a
priceless inheritance from the y
Immortal dead who live again <
In lives made better by their presence"
She freely illustrated the poi1 It's
made by poetical and proseextracts,
showing beauty and grace of dicti Pm
and ennobling thought. The elec-
lions were from the Bible, Shelly,
Mackay, Kipling and others. j.
The influence of good poetry on
the lives Of children was emphasized,
and she urged parents and teachers
to give to children the hest in litsrA1
ture at an early age. For although
they might not understand it all IT
would from the first be inspiring and
helpful and create for them lasting
taste for good literature, and their
whole lives would be enriched there
by.
Lowell's tribute to his first wife
was read; and the speaker said no
young girl could read it and not be
made better. "God has never made
thing more beautiful than q BEAU
tiful girl. but no girl can read these
words of Lowell and not learn
that no hands are beautiful
that are too delicate to relieve a
mothers toll, and no gown however
costly is really beautiful, the cost Of
which is written in lines Of care up
on a fathers brow"
She deplored the taste OF many
for trashy books when the best are
within reach of all.
The study of literature is not
alone for children and young people,
but men and women through all
their lives need it's inspiration and
help for their own growth, which
should be ever onward and upward.
Among other selections read
were Whittier's pipes OF Lucknow"
Kipling's east and West" Bret
Harte's Raymond" closing with
Holmes "The Broomstick Train
All present certainly realized more
deeply at the close OF the lecture the
riches we possess in the works OF
our great authors.
AS a speaker Prof. Sanford is elo-
quent and impressive. She was
listened to with close attention and
her lecture was an inspiration to all
to know more of our priceless lltera-
ture. Our people will hope that her
visit to us may be repeated and a
most cordial welcome is assured her
should she again visit our city.

Just. before 5 o'clock this morning Mr..
Mcdonald saw the form Of man lying
on the grass with handkerchief over his
face, and he supposed that the man was
sleeping off a drunk, and as the spot was
a somewhat secluded one, went his way.
About 10 o'clock Mr.. Mcdonald re-
turned and found the man in the same
position. and he then made an examina-
ton, and discovered that the man was
dying.
He notified Sergt Adams. who sent
wagon for the man, and had him re-
moved TO the station.
Drs. Allison and Hunt were called. but
the man was past help. and both OF them
