Many left the hall, the strain being
too great for them. The ladies declared
they knew he would be killed and they
didn't want to see it. But Mr.. Hur-
llamp wasn't killed. for after carrying
kinIoch over the remaining six jumps
he came out on still another horse and
put him over the eight hurdles.
Later he rode in both the teams from
the Hampton Hunt Club in the contest for
the handsome silver cup given by the

A1ry Charles Hurkamp had two very bad

Both these falls were in the champion
class for hunters and jumpers and two
different horses fell with him, the second
mishap following close upon the heels Of
the first. and the audience was strung up
TO the highest tension. Ladies screamed
and turned away their faces. while the
men watched with gr6at excitement. Mr..
Hurkamp, who is considered the finest
rider over jumps in Virginia, first entered
the arena on the large roam sclding Horn

graceful riding in previous classes had
made him many admirers. lIornpipe took
six jumps in fine style. but at the seventh

surrounded the affair were so great that

AN EXPOSITION
INTERNATIONAL
Scheme to Hold One in
Richmond in 1907
STREET FAIR NO MORE
City Too Large For Anything Less
Than an Exposition.
MAY BEAN ANNUAL HORSE SHOW
Carnival Board of Directors Will Discuss the
Idea of Big Exposition in Richmond
in 1907 to Cost Slo,OoO 0O0-Asso-
ciation's Financial Coudi-
tiou is in Good
Shape.
MAY BE AN ANNUAL HORSE SHOW

At the meeting Of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Carnival Association at the
T. p. A. rooms next Tuesday night. the
suggestion will be made that the asso-
citation take UP at once the proposition
OF holding here in 1907 an international
exposition.
The scheme is a big one, but it is
believed by a number of the members of
the Board Of Directors that it can be
handled if taken up at once and pushed
forward.
The idea of another Street Fair will
be abonooned, because, it will be argued.
Richmond is too big, and has outgrown
su.:h .-rms of entertainment.
-she nature of the scheme that has been
proposed for the international show is
comprehensive. 1t provides for an enor-
nous undertaking, one that may require
for its successful launching something
like sl0,o00,000 This large amount of
money will be used for the purpose OF
putting into shape the show, but pri-
marily to introduce to the State of Vir-
ginia the people of not only this country,
but Of the countries of the world.
If property presented, the amount to
be expended will be a mere bagatette
as compared to the good that will result
to the State as well as the city An
appropriation OF halfa tne amount lIeii-
toned above will be asked from Congress,
and the State will be expected TO guar
antee the other
Those who have the scheme in mind
realize that it is a big one, and that the
undertaking is an enormous one, but they
feel that when it is fully explained and
when the people of Virginia see what
good thing it will be for them, they will
get all the support necessary.
UNIQUE IDEA.
THE proposition is TO have d number
of broad avenues all leading to one cen-
trail point. Each of these avenues will
be devoted to a distinct country, showing
the progress made by that country from
its beginning For instance, the avenue
devoted to this country will begin with a

extended by the Hon. Jefferson NJ. Levy,
a large crowd of people from the city and
county had gathered on the beautiful
lawns surrounding the mansion house to
witness the ceremonies.
The long Ene of hacks containing the
Missourians began to enter the grounds
shortly after o'clock. At the head of the
column was the clubs famous drum and
fife corps, thrty-f;ye pieces, especially Sc
lecteti for their proficiency on their respec-
tive instruments. These musicians pre-
sented, a pretty sight. attred in conti-
mental uniform.

GAS FIGHT ON.
Company Claims That II Cam
not Furnish Fuel at Flat
Rate Of 90 Cents.

sandusly, O., Dec. 23.-There is trou-
BILE here over the gas question. The
sandusky Gas and Electric company,
which is owned by the Everett-Moore
syndicate, is applying for franchise
to furnish gas at the rate of 80 cents
a 1000 feet for fuel gas and 81 for the
Illuminating gas. The council is d.
vided on the subject.
The company claims that 1t cannot
pay dividends and furnish gas at fiat
rate of 80 cents, as some of the coun-
cilmen wish. The members say that
the company is capitalized at twice its
value and they cannot expect the peo-
pie to pay dividends on watered stock.
The fight is being waged along these
lines and unless the company comes
to time 1t is quite likely that 1t will
get no franchise.

MAY DISRUPT THE LEAGUE.
Spaldins-Freedman Fight Likely to
Cause Changes.

New York, Dec. 21.-DeveIopments
In the baseball war between the
Freedman-Spalding factions were
brought out before Judge Scott when
court convened, which shows that
long litigation may be expected be.
tween the opposing forces.
1t will probably result in the dis.
ruption of the National league as it
stands at present.
Alfred Kiddle, counsel for Spalding,
stated to the court that he consented
to continuance OF the restraining
order until it could be determined
whether his client was legally elected
president.
Judge Scott granted the motion and
under the courts ruling the case will
remain in statu quo until the case is
brought to trial to show whether
Spalding's election was legal or not.
Kiddle stated after court that it
might be year before the case was
brought to trial.
Baseball men regard the proceed
ings as a victory for Spalding, who,
it is believed, will either join forces
with the American league to form a
12-club circuit or place clubs in other
cities and form a new eight-club
league. The National league is at
present bound hand and foot.

Manila, Dec. 20.-Over 1000 men,
bers Of the federal party called on
Governor Taft to bid MIN farewell and
to wish him a safe return. The gov
ernor, reclining on lounge, ad-
dressed $50 OF the most prominent
OF his visitors, saying that he was
touched and honored by their pres
ence. The organization, he added,
had done SO much toward bringing
about peace and giving the country a
stable party that it argued more for
the success Of American labors than
anything else during the recent criti-
cal times.
The reports circulated in the Unit
ed States, founded on incidents con.
nected with the war in Batangas prov.
ince and the island of Samar, the
governor SAID, tend to convey a wrong
impression Of the situation, which IS
really hopeful. Through its olncers,

governments, besides $50 teachers,

pelago. The war in Batangas and
Samar kept up by misguided men,
furnishes the only obstacle to obtain.
ing liberal legislation on the part of
congress.
In continuing, the governor said
that he would return here. He liked
the Fflipinos and regretted leaving
at this particular time. But it was a
comfort to know that the duties of
the office were in the hands of Vice
Governor Wright, an able lawyer.
who sympathized deeply with the best
hopes OF the people. "
In conclusion, the governor said he
expected to be back before May, and
he hoped TO have the pleasure of pre-.
senting the federal party's memorial
to the president.
Civil government will be restored
in the island Of Cebu on Jan. l of

REMARKABLE CURE.
Of Q Canton Citizen by Neurop-

thcry White.

Mr.. Anthony White, 804 South Cher
ry street, who has been limping around
the streets Of Canton four months with
rheumatism. has been reader of the
cures reported by DR.. e. F. Larkins,
who is located in the City National
Bank Building, Canton. He finally
called up over the phone to Mr.. Whit
sci, whose case has been mentioned in
the News-Democrat, and Mr.. whitsel
told him Neuropathy was all right, and
urged him to try 1t. He went into the
office suffering and lame and in few
minutes was free from all pain. He
says that 1t seems very odd to be now
walking on the streets without limping.
Mr.. Whites telephone is Brown 1922.
He will gladly answer any inquiry.
