PEACEFUL'S RACE
 ENDED IN \ RIOT Allowed to Get Good Start Be-
 fore the Flag Dropped SPECTATORS GOT ANGRY
Hundreds Surrounded the Grand Stand Demanding That Peaceful Be Set Back and Crying Thieves, Rob-
 bers, While Others Kissed.

St. Louis. June 29.-Getaway day at the Fair Grounds was marked by one of the most wonderful demonstrations ever wit messed on a race track in this city. The trouble was caused by an unsatisfactory running of the fourth race. Chapauqua and Peaceful were figured the principal contenders. Varro. on the form showed in his recent performances, was made fa- vorite at 13 to 10, with Chapauqua well favored at IA to 5- Starter Bruen shocked the packers of Varro and Chapauqua by letting Peaceful off with a. flying start, not dipping his flag until that horse was be- yond the time flag. The crowd yelled in derision as Peaceful opened up a big gap. The other contenders never had the ghost of a chance to win. Peaceful led into the stretch by eight lengths, and won pulled by half that distance from Varro. Hun dreds of angry men surrounded the grand stand demanding that Peaceful be set back and crying thieves" robbers and other like terms, while misses could be heard throughout the grounds. Peaceful Is owned by c. J. Celia, brother of one of the proprietors of the race track and this fact was strongly commented on.
 Track fast. Racing will be resumed at Delmar Park Monday.

NO MAN IS STRONGER
 THAN EES STOMACH.

The stomach is the vital center of the body. It is the organ from which all other organs are fed. A weak stomach means a weak man. There never was q strong man with weak stomach. What is called uweak stomach IS in general diseased condition of the stomach aud other organs of digestion and nutrition, which prevents the proper digestion of the food which is taken into the storri- ach, and so reduces the nutrition of the body. When all food is taken away the body starves. When the food eaten ls only digested and assirnilated in part 1t only nourishes the body in part, and so the body is partly starved. And this starvation is felt in every organ of the body dependent on the blood which is made from food
 The great variety of the cures per formed by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is due to its remarkable power to heal diseases of the stomach and allied organs It cures through the stomach diseases seemingly remote, but which have their origin in diseased condition of the stomach and tlie other organs of digestion and nutrition. uWeak heart, lungs, kidneys and weak ness of other organs is cured with the cure of the weak stomach.
 MT. Thomas A. Swarts Box 1o3, Sub Station C., Columbus Ohio. writes: VI was taken very sick with severe headache. then cramps in the stomach, and food would not digest then kidney aud liver trouble, and my back got weak 30 could scarcely get around.

Ol TdCct COlOI UT pItNiOuS CutlultlOA oL servitude, which is forbidden by the fif teenth amendment of that instrument.
 This is done by comforting the right to vote upon a class, viz, descendants of soldiers, this class including practically all of the white and excluding practically all of the negro race. Ii ,fss
 An Arbitrary Standard. IF
 The clause quoted does not erect standard of qualifications applicable alike to both races, but establishes an arbt- trary standard, which considered in con- nection with the history of the country confer the right of suffrage upon mem- bers of the white reace (who are descend ants of such soldiers) and denies 1t to members of the black race, who are not such descendants.
 It does not prescribe a qualification bearing any proper relation to the ca- pacity of the voter to understand and discharge the responsibilities of the cleo tive franchise, but fixes arbitrary status, depending solely upon his descent from an ancestry over which he had and has no control, and which Is impossible of attainment by any exertion on his part.
 We submit that the test required is not a rule or condition to which all citizens similarly situated, may conform. This, we understand from the decisions of the United Setats Supreme Court, Is necessary to make 1t valid.
 For these reasons we believe this clause to be violatiye of the Fifteenth amend ment to the Federal Constitution, in it's necessary operation. without reference to it's administration. It can only be ad- ministered in one way, and can affect, materially, only the two classes establish ed by it.
 Afraid of Congress. By adopting this provision we invite an attact upon our suffrage plan through the courts, which may declare it void, and also give Congress an opportunity to re- duce our representation in the lower house, and our vote in the electoral col lege, and it seems that the minority are not alone in the apprehension that some thing of this kind may occur. The committee itself has expressed it's want of confidence in the validity of this scheme by recommending the adoption of section 19 which provides that if any section of the article should become fn- operative and void by reason of the de- cision of any court of competent jurisdic- tion the Legislature might remedy the de- feet caused by such decfsion-an unusual and extraordinary conception. Will any member of the committee or any other candid man maintain that this scheme is not intended to discriminate in favor of one race and against the other?
 Other Objections. Aside from the constitutional objections there are many weighty reason why this provision should not be in our constitu- ton:
 FTrst-It establishes a permanent, her editary, governing class, which is un- democratic, unrepublican. un-American. Second-It is not in keeping with the
