SLOT Machines.

A number of slot machines which
have been in active operation in the
village for some time have been abol-
ished by order of the council. This
is the result of an investigation which
grew from petition by the school
board. It was claimed that children
had been permitted to play at some of
the machines and the matter was
brought to the attention of the board.
The proprietors of cigar machines will
have to use better Judgment in the
future as to who their patrons are,
as they will be liable for a misde-
meanor if minors or school children
are permitted to play the machines.
Slot machines paying cash dividends
are not tolerated, according to the
state law, and their removal is only a
just compliance with that law. Speed
the day when all gambling devices are
abolished from our midst, and there
will be no temptation for the young.

FEW PEOPLE
Have Eyes Alike

Fully nine-tenths of those who wear
glasses have different vision in each

Sometimes it's a decided differ
ence-in others only slight varia-

A careless examination will fail to
bring out this defect-the same lenses
will be adjusted to both eyes-and
headaches and eyestrain tuat medi-
cine fails to relieve are the result.

Temperance COMMENT.

., Edited by the Press Supt. of the W. G.
T. U. of Wilmar.1
The army canteen has finally been
abolished. The decisive vote taken
in the senate resulted in fifteen votes
for the canteen and thirty-four
against.
The Washington Sentinel, lead
ing liquor paper says: "With the IN
crease that will most assuredly come
to the cause of prohibition in the next
four years-an increase that will give
them following of 2, $4,000, judging
from the experience of the last four
years-the prospect of having to op-
pose a candidate on a platform
pledged to national prohibition is not
a distant One.''

Large Block Of Burling-
ton Stock.

New York, March 5-The CONNER
cial Advertiser says: There were
rumors in Wall street today about the
Union Pacific interests acquiring a
large block of stock of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad. Both
of these stocks advanced in price in
consequence ofNthe rumors, as a report
prevailed on the stock exchange that
persons identified with the Union Pa
oiic railway have acquired $50, 900
shares of Burlington stock within the
past few days. Some Of the Oldest
shareholders in the Burlington COM
pany are said to have been approached
recently with a proposition to ex-
change their stock holdings for a new
bond. While the bond was not de-
sireable, it was given chat it would
bear interest equal to the dividends
returned by the Burlington stock.

KwANG HOLDS OUT
Chinese Emperor Has No Inten-

London, March 5-The Reuter- Tele-

lowing from Pekin, dated March 5:
Inquiry concerning the reports of EN-
pe1or Kwang Su's return ELECTED assur-
ances from Chinese officials that he
had not the remotest intention to
leave Sian Flu while the present sit
uation continued, and that if the pow
ers persisted in fortifying the legation
quarters it was extremely probable that
the court would never return to Pekin.
The Chinese appeal regarding the
latter question points out that if forts
are constructed, five of the six chief
boards, namely the war, rites, civil ap-
pointments, works and revenue, will
be swept away, as we'll as one of the
most sacred temples in the empire,
containing the ancestral tablets of the
present dynasty. The ministers OF the
powers are still discussing this appeal
and the question of defences. but have
arrived at no decision owing. to a di-

PERPETUATING NAVAL HEROES
IN ENDURING MARBLE.
MONUMENT TO FIGHTERS
Plans for Colossal Arch and
Water Gate at New
York Harbor.

New York, March 5-Supported by
the promise Of several of the wealth
lest men of the United States that
sufficient money for it's completion
shall be forthcoming, the committee
Of the Alumnea association of the
United States naval academy has had
completed plans or a colossal arch and
water gate to be erected at the bat
tory. These designs, which have been
prepared by Ernest Flagg, will be sub
n,itted to Park Commissioner Clausen
tomorrow for his official approval. He
has already given his personal consent,
as has also the mayor.
The plans are for a water gate and
arch of white marble to cost nearly a
million dollars. The top Of the mas
sive quadriga surmounting it will
tower 1856 feet in the air. Great wide
steps Of white marble will lead to the
arch. The latter, which will be made
of pure white marble, will be 1876 feet
high by 1875 feet wide and 40 feet
thick.
Colossal figures of John Paul Jones
and Admiral Farragut will stand on
it's front. Beneath these will be their
famous orders to their sailors: 'Strike
no flags. We have not begun to fight
yet,' and "Damn the torpedoes, go
ahead" At the rear, facing the city,
will be figures of Commodore Perry
and Captain Lawrence with incrip-
tions: "We have met the enemy and
they are ours, - and "Don'tgive up the
ship"
Inside the arch, four on each side,
will be statues of other famous COM
manders,

FIRM STAND
FOR CONTROL
WESTERN JOCKEY CLUB STEW
ARDS ADOPT RULES. .
WAR ON TURF CONGRESS
Participants in Unrecognized Meet
ings Barred from Tracks in
New Association.
WAR ON TURF CONGRESS

Chicago, March ,5-The stewards
of the Western Jockey club at a
meeting here to-day adopted rules
which will govern the new turf body.
The most important point is the dec
laration of its policy toward race track
owners who refuse to recognize the
authority of the Western Jockey club.
The stewards passed a rule barring
from participation on any Western
Jockey club track anyone racing at
u~nrecognized meetings, such as those
held by all tracks west of the ALLIE
ghaneys, except California, where a
license is not extended the stewards.
The decree does not carry absolute
"outlawry" because persons so barred
are privileged to race in the east or
on the Pacific coast, but it was as far
as the Western Jockey club could go
with it's present powers and shows
that the stewards are determined to
take a firm stand to obtain control of
racing in the west and will press their
power to the utmost, This means war
with the American Turf congress,
composed of the following tracks:
Delmar, Of st. Louis; Newport, Of
Cincinnati; Nashville, Little Rock,
Highland Park of Detroit and Fort
Erie Of Buffalo. The changes in the
rules are comparatively few.
The request Of the Owners and
Trainers Mutual association concern
ing division Of the ''run up money
between second and third horses, ap-
parently was ignored. The objec-
tionable feature to the E "Calk'' rule
was omitted. The license fee for
jockeys and trainers was reduced from
$25 to $15 per annum, and it was
provided that any jockey or trainer
having already paid that fee to the
American Turf congress should not be
assessed until the expiration of his
license. The rules will go into effect
March 19.
The stewards took care to insert in
the rules that the Western Jockey
club would not recognize bets or
betting. This was probably done at
the suggestion of the Chicago tracks,
who are confronted with the prospect
of legal trouble any time the ere
former gets busy" as one of the Off
Gals explained tho situation.

F|NANCIER ASSIGNS
Man Well Known in Money
World Goes to the
Wall.

New York, March 5-John E.
Searles, the we'll known financier and
at present IN the general corporation
and financing business, made an as
signment for the benefit Of his cred
itors to Henry Dwight. Searles was
treasurer of the American Sugar refin-
ing company until a few years ago,
and president OF the Western National
bank of this city, succeeding B1ayton
Ives. In his latest and most i'm
portant enterprise, the American Cot
United States Senator Jones of Ar
kansas. The latter company controls
the patents for a cotton compress and
is said to have done a prosperous bus
mess. 1t is not affected by Searles'
assignment.
The announcement of Searle's fnan-
cial embarrassment was a surprise in
banking circles. Besides a fine town
residence in Brooklyn, searles also
has Or had a fine summer home at Buzz
yards Bay, Mass, near the homes of
ex-President Cleveland and Joseph
Jefferson. AS treasurer Of the Sugar
company and president of the Western
National bank Searles gained a repu-
tation for business sagacity and be-
cause of of his reputation was asked
to enter the directories of various COR
porations. His friends say that he
seemed to have unlimited faith in the
possibility of the American Cotton
company. One of the banks with
which Searles had an account is the
Merchants National of Wall street.
An officer of one of the leading banks
down town stated today that Searles
had been in a bad way since last fall.
The Journal Of Commerce tomor-
row will say: Estimates of Searles'
liabilities are anywhere from 81, OOO,
900 to So, 900, 900. He was generally
regarded heretofore as worth several
millions. It has been known in sew.
eral banking circles this week that q
note for $4,000, which Searles had
endorsed for another party, was about
maturing and it was said that the
bank which held the note had been
asked to extend it, but whether it was
extended or not cannot be learned.
