LUCKY
ESCAPE
Fast Mail Collides
With Milk Wagon.
Horse Killed and the Wagon
Demolished. Driver Es-
capes Unhurt.

On Sunday morning the Northwes.
terms Fast Mail collided with one of
Mr.. Nash's milk wagons. Hugh Nash
was driving and on account of row of
box cars standing on the switch he
was unable to see the train until it was
almost upon him. He pulled the horse
back and would have prevented the ac-
cident had not the horse become be-
come scared and jumped forward The
animal was instantly killed, the wagon
was torn toopieces and dragged some
distance, but for a wonder the driver
was unhurt. 1t was a very narrow es-
cape, and but emphasizes the need for
crossing guards. The claim agent of
the Northwestern came here yester-
day and settled Mr. Nash's claim in
full, paying him $3.50. He is much
pleased with the promptness of the
road in paying the damage.
Base ball enthusiasm has taken
novel and interesting form at Kalo.
The ladies have taken possession Of the
kalo diamond and games between fem
mime teams are now in progress. A
team has been organized among the
married women of the town, and also
among the unmarried women. These
two teams have already met on the
diamond, and more games are in pros
pect. The new departure is awakening
the liveliest interest and large crowds,
largely men, are attending. The women
go after the game in the most approved
style. They have star pitchers, whose
curves are unrivaled. and the fielding is
spectacular. The players rag the UNI
pire and do every part of the game in
goos, form. Some out-of-town rs,aml'-
are being arranged

COTTON MARKETS

NEW YORK, March so.-COTToN-Ihe
cotton market opened easy at a decline
OF to II points. cables astonishing the
trade by a decline Of a? to 81 in futures
and ;,-32d. in spots. at Liverpool. with
very light sales OF the latter and private
cables indicating unsettled conditions.
owing to the continued pressure Of spot
cotton. The break at Liverpool greatly
exceeds all anticipation. although some
decline had been looked for following the
weakness developed here yesterday. Pri-
vate cables state that the constantly in
creasinS visible supply now, now 800 900
bales greater than last year. creates such
weakness abroad in connection with the
unsatisfactory demand for manufactured
goods. especially when it is remembered
that the season was commenced Wits
100000 bales less cotton in sight than
was visible last year. from which it ap-
pears that the crop has been underesti-
mated and consumption overestinlated,
with receipts still full.
Late in the session the market had a
final rally on local covering, bringing
prices 10 about the highest. The close
was very steady. with prices net points
higher to lower.

FAIR TRACK.
1t VIII he Used by Local Horsemen--
The Premium List.

At the meeting of the State Board Of Ag-
the fair grounds TO inspect the buildings
and race track. After much discussion it
was decided that the track should be kept
in condition so that horsemen and trainers
will bring their stock here for training pur-
poses early in the season. 1t was feared
by many that the board would lease the
track to some outside concern who would
conduct races, but the members feel that
enough revenue can be derived to sustain
the track and keep it in good condition
from the local horsemen. The board de-
cided that the speed department should
this to be used for stake races, which Will
be a new feature at the state fair, and the
remainder for purses. The reason the board
will make a feature OF stake races Is that
it will admit the track into the Grand Cir
cult and will draw the best horses here.
The members who are not experienced in
racing matters thought that $4,000 was too
large a sum to be given the speed depart
ment, but the premiums given by the board
for racing does not cost 1t anything, as
each race pays for itself from the entry
fees and the 20 per cent. taken from the
winners.
