OLD STYLE OF BETTING AT TRACK.
PARKWAY DRIVING CLUB THOUGHT TO BE EN-
DANGERING IT'S CHARTER

at the opening of the Parkway Driving Clubs fall
meeting. The Percy-Gray law, which went into
effect in 1894 made it unlawful to display public
odds any race and provided that mo token.

A booth at the Parkway Driving Club not only
had blackboard on which displayed public
odds, straight and place, bat regularly engraved

Constantinople. Nov. 24.-The porte

to this matter as to the indemnity

Turkish objection to- the establish

novel reason there is no commerce

MOB WANTED HIS LIFE
Guardsmen Called to Abba to Protec,
Negro.

u
ottumwa, Nov. 24.A detail OF
Company G, Iowa National Guards,
was called to Abba yesterday to
assist in preventing the lynching of
Alya Booker, negro charged with
committing rape on the person of
Mrs. Sarah Hovel. The crime took
place the night of October 80 and
since that time the negro has been
confined in the penitentiary at Fort
Madison, having been taken there by
Sheriff Donor, of Monroe county, for
safe keeping. Yesterday he was ta-
ken to Abba for his preliminary hear
ing, having been kept in the Mt.
Pleasant Jail over night.
AT the time the crime was commit
ed an attempt was made at lynching,
so infuriated were the Abba people
on account of the Nervousness of the
negro's alleged acts.
BY merest strategy the officers
saved the fellows life. While he has
been at Ft. Madison the sentiment of
revenge continued to increase in
Abba, and Notwithstanding rumors
that the hearing would not take
place, the revenge loving people Of
that place took steps to have the
life of the negro, in case he should
be taken there.
The presence of the Ottumwa blue
coats, with their bayonetted guns.
had the effect of keeping the mob of
Albians at u respectable distance.
The soldiers surrounded the prisoner
on his march from the Abba de-
pot to the court house and they
stood guard about the char which
he occupied during the few minutes
of the court proceedings. The crowd
was nervous and frequently there
were cries of "Hang him!" Lynch
the niger brute" String him up!"
etc. The sheriff expostulated and
his wards, with the presence of the
soldiers, were effective in prevent
ing q furious outbreak.
1t took but lew minutes for the
defendants attorney to secure a
change of venue to Wapello county.
The negro was marched in hollow
square to the Abba depot, where he
was placed on train and brought

Some Des Moines Dealers Pay Tax and

Des Moines, Nov. 27.-A few dealers
have resumed the sale of cigarettes
and announced that they will pay the
$75 quarterly tax for the last three
months of 1900. In order to do this,
however, they have doubled the price
Of cigarettes. Since it is certain that
only few dealers can afford to pay
the tax, they will not meet with the
competition that has heretofore
existed. A few other small dealers
nre still selling cigarettes "on the

pressed. If any attempt Is made to
collect the back tax it is said that the
dealers will seek to recover from the
American Tobacco company all the
taxes or fines that may be assessed
and collected against chem. They say
that the American tobacco company
guaranteed to protect them against
damage if they went ahead and sold
that company's cigarettes. Ii the

american who spent years in the dip

The Turkish authorities look with
jealousy upon the appointment of
consuls to the interior points in the
empire, especially when, as in the
present instance, the United States
wishes to send the consul to point
where it has not had a consul before.
The reason, perhaps, why the Turk
dsh authorities more specifically OBJ
ject to the appointment of consul
at Harpoot, is that it was
at Harpoot where the American mis-
sionary property was destroyed dur
dng the Armenian troubles. On it's
loss our claims are based for indem-
nifty.
america has no commerce at Har-
poot. Its interests there are on4y
missionary, as in that city is located
the Euphrates college, besides sew
cral mission schools, and it is the CEN
ter of American missionary activity.
But it can be reasonably claimed by
our government, even if we have
little or no commerce now there,
that we may want to cultivate it, es-
recially as a number of our citizens
are resident here.
Heretofore such consular busi-
ness as the United States has had at

leaders in Nebraska charge that
Charles III. Dietrich, governor-elect,
has rendered himself ineligible to
the office because, they assert, he vio-
lated the law enacted in 1889 entitled
-'An act to prevent corrupt practices
at elections"
The charge follows an affidavit
made by =. F Morearty of Omaha
that Dietrich during the campaign
gave both him and his partner $25
for a banquet and barbecue. Mr..
Dietrich does not deny the contribu-
tion, listing it in his expense account
filed with the secretary of state, and
his friends assert that the barbecue
was represented to him as picnic
for poor children.
Chairman Hall of the democratic

list state committees said they had
not decided on what course to pur-
sue, but that the matter would at
least be investigated.
