Democratic CampaIruers in Illinois.

Samuel Alschuler, Elmer A. Perry,
James +. O'Donnell, George Parsons
and James Todd, democratic nomi-
nees. are all brilliant and experienced
campaigners, and all are to be sent
TO every county in the state. They
will not travel in body, for it is
planned to have them scatter their
shot. Alschuler is expected to do
N UGH work in the counties where the
German vote is large, for he can speak
German, and the democrats intend to
pay particular attention to the Ger
mans.
They have unearthed some of the
speeches made by Richard Yates when
he ran for congressman-at-large in
1892. That year the Edwards school
law was an issue with the Germans,
and Yates, it will be recalled, was
the chief spokesman for the republi-
cans in support of the law.

Anew Use For the Phonosrnph.

1t has been proposed to employ the
photograph as an aid in learning for
eign languages, says the Chicago
Chronicle. In learning a language it is
necessary first of all to have the ear
trained to catch and recognize the
sounds, and the only way to accom-
plish this is to listen to the continual
repetition of the sounds until the ear
becomes familiar with them. Many
persons have to learn Il foreign Ian
guage without any aid from II teacher
who can speak that language correctly,
and even those who are so fortunate as
to have n competent teacher cannot
constantly have the teacher at hand.
Now it is proposed to have phono-
graphic records OF language lessons;
then the student can have the machine
repeat the lesson over and over again
until he is perfectly familiar with il.

THIRD DAY AT MILE TRACK.
Largest Crowd since Occasion OF arrerton-
Lobasco Race.

The third day of the great western
races. at Davenport Mile track. drew
the largest crowd since the day of The
Allerton-Lobasco race there several
years ago. Several thousand people
saw some of the greatest speed con-
tests ever held in the west. The
track was fast, winners going away
within their previous records. -
The feature of the day was the 2:20
pace, in which four heats went to four
different horses. Impression went
lame, reducing the field after the fifth
heat to the three remaining heat win
ners, May Alcott winning the race.
Mark Derby's performance in the 2:12
pace was of the sensational order.
The last three heats were taken by
him in hard finishes, in which he
pushed forward from the rear posi-
tion to the winning one at the wire.
The summaries follow:
2:12 class, pacing, purse 500:
Mark Derby, b. G., by John Thomas
(Johnson), won; PeTsonette, br. M.
(Wylie), second; Pinta, br. m. (Col-
lins), third; Flossie Delaney, CHI. m.

first; Jack l.. CHI. G., CLewis). second.
Lawrence c, b. h., third. Time,
2.144, 2:15, 2:153.
Owing to the fact that J. B. Rich
ardson's new automobile cast a shoe
and subsequently tripped in her hop
pies the other evening, only Baron
Won Schaezler's auto scored up when
Starter Lopez announced the race.
One of the speediest bicyclists in the
tri-cities, Charles Moore, was to con-
test the race and the crowd was upon
the tiptoe of expectancy when the
race was called. The baron's broth
er-in-law, VIII H. Commit, an auto
mobile expert, and the baron's wife
accompanied the horseless vehicle, and
while the stare was somewhat delayed
by the incipient jockeying on the
stretch the twain were given the
word on the first score, the bicvclist
trailing. 1t was a slow rated mile
and was traversed in 2:314. the auto
and cyclist striking the wire together,
and it was officially declared a dead
heat. On the second heat the auto
mobile won by a close margin, the
time. however, being made faster

white Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of NJ. A. Hogarty, of Lexing-
ton, XIV, when they saw he was turn
ing yellow. His skin slowly changed
color, also his eyes. and he suffered
terribly. His malady was yellow
jaundice. He was treated by the
best doctors, but without benefit
Then he was advised to try Electric
Bitters, the wonderful stomach and
liver remedy, and he writes: After
taking two bottles l was wholly
