sued by local breeders:
| '.All those interested in the breeding,
training or racing of thoroughbred
horses are requested to meet at the
Phoenix hotel in this city Tuesday noon
for the purpose of taking such action as
may be necessary to determine the
truth OF reports that a pole supposed to
mark three-eighths of a mile from the
wire, at the Kentucky associations race
track, was moved, and ii the reports be
found correct to take such action as
may be necessary to expose and punish
the person or persons guilty of moving
it.''

Few incidents in recent years have
created as great a sensation among the
horsemen as the suspicion, first given
utterance last Thursday. Investigated
on Friday and proved on Saturday that
one of the poles marking the distances
at the race track had on Wednesday
night been moved to as to make the
pole marking three-eighths of mile
from the timers stand forty to forty
five feet less than the supposed distance
and then moved back again Thursday
night.
Had it been that only the usual work.
outs were given 1T would have made no
further difference than that several men
who on Thursday thought they had
phenomenal yearlings, would have
found out the mistake later. There
was, however, gentleman from New
York, Mr. Hill, the representative of
Clarence Mackey, who was there on
Thursday and who timed yearling he
had been invited here to see make the
short three-eighths in Ss1s seconds. He
returned with an option on the colt, said
to be $1,000. Trainers at the track made
the discovery as to the change in the
position of the pole. While suspicion
does not rest on any definite person, a
popular demand for an investigation led
to this call for meeting OF breeders on
Tuesday.

what 1t isto be lost, yet he quoted the
word Of Jesus in all its pathos to show
that man Is lost. God wants to save
this lost man. In order TO save him, he
must use the Christian to carry the
message. God is a spirit; sinfulfman is
out OF correspondence with God; the
Christian is in correspondence with both
God and man: SO then, thru the Chris
tan, God can touch the sinful man and
bring him into correspondence with
God, which is salvation. After the serv-
ice one young man came forward in
quiring the way of salvation.

the wound. His son, Mr.. Harry Bright,
who resides on farm near LaMoille,
was summoned to Iantha last Saturday
by telegram saying his father had
once. The son left Immediately and is
now at Iantha.
Mr.. Bright was for many years en-
gagged in farming near LaMoille, and for
4 time was resident of this city, where
lie engaged in the livery business. Five
years ago he purchased Of Mr.. George
Hixson, of this city. the form five miles
from Iantha, Barton county. Missouri,
and he moved to that place when Mr..
HiXson came to Marshalltown. Mr..
Bright was married to the present wife
shortly before removing to Iantha. The
marriage record in the county clerks Of
flee shows that his wife was Mrs. Eva
Whitney. that she was AZ years OF age
at that time, while Mr.. Bright was 81.
The marriage was performed on March
g. 1897. by DR.. j. B. Albrook, in this city.
1t was the second marriage for both MIR.

The Times-Republican telegraphed to
Iantha today for particulars and re-
ccived the following:
Alex Bright, prominent farmer of
this county, was shot twice thru the
neck and lungs at his home by his son
Guy last Thursday. He is in critical
condition. The shooting was the result
OF family quarrel. The son is in jail
and claims his father attacked him with
hatchet and he shot in self-defense.
The father denies the claim and says IT
was cold blooded attempt to murder.
Sympathy is divided. The son says he is
sorry"

HARRIS R[N[NS FIGHT
Secures an Order to Obtain Bids
On Pipe For Second Street
Main.
Council Awards Contract For
Supplying Meters For BUSH

Chairman McGuire in Chicago
For the Purpose OF Buying
Morris Pumps.

DR.. Harris had week between coun-
Gil meetings in which to get his bear.
| ings. and at the adjourned session Mon
| day night he renewed his fight for q
larger water main on South Second
street He secured the adoption of a
motion instructing the city clerk to pro-
cure bids on tweIve-inch pipe necessary
to lay two blocks, from Main to Linn
street. He maintained that the effort to
blow out the present small main had
failed to increase the pressure, and that
at his own home it required ut least If
teen minutes to draw pail of water.
Mr.. Kreutzer remarked that his own
neighbors had similar difficulty, but ow-
ing to the state of the city finances they
we're waiting patiently until the council
had. the necessary funds with which to
lay a new main. All the ,,ouncilmen
voted for DIR. Harris motion, however,
because 1t does not necessarily carry
with 1t the purchase OF the pipe.
$50
The special purpose OF the meeting
Monday night was to consider bids for
furnishing about $500 worth of meters.
as the first step towards preserving the
water supply and preventing waste.
Thirteen meters were purchased for
something less than this sum, the con-
tract being awarded to the National
Meter Company. Several of the meters
of this company are already in use In
the city. The thirteen machines pur-
chased will be placed in the up town
hotels, the livery barns and some of the
other large consumers In the business

revenues will be increased, the waste
of water will be prevented. thereby saw
ing both water and fuel. 1t is confident-
" believed that the results will be so
satisfactory that another installment
will be purchased soon.
Chairman Richard MCGUIRE. Of the
special sewage committee, departed for
Chicago Immediately after the meeting,
es:cawered to purchase two Morris
pumps, which will be installed at the
sewage plant by the city in place of the
two pumps sent here by the st. Louis
Electrical Supply Company as part OF
the equipment OF the power plant. 1t u
probable the pumps Will be sent on at
once, and then the work Of completing
the plant can be pushed. Some delay
has er,sued in the completion az the con-
crete work, because the supply OF ce-

ENGLAND'S FINANCIAL CONDITION

For the first time in many years,
Great Britain's balance is on the
wrong side of the ledger, and the far
Their we get from the revelations Of
the budget speech, the more grum-
bling we hear of the war taxes. The
cost of the Boer war has been fearful.
In two years, or less, it has Increased
the national debt more than it was in
creased in seven years in the war of
the American revolution. The debt
of England was increased by the Ma
poleonic wars from $1,215, 317 ,1O5 to
81, 3O5, 1875, 245, or nearly quadrupled.
Then there was peace for forty years,
and nearly $500, 900 of the debt
was paid off. Then came the Grim can
war, in 1854, and the debt was increas-
ed by S165, 100000. From 1857, the
end of the Crimean war, until the
Boer war, more than 81 ZOO, 900, 900 Of
the debt was paid, and already more
than $500, OOO, 900 are added. And so,
as we understood at the outset would
be the case, the song of the concert
halls of London, at the breaking out
of the war,-"Pay, pay, pay, has
had to be realized. The investors
took the new loan readily enough for
they make money out of England's
need for ready funds. But the tax
payers, who were called upon for
S55, 900, 900 more, still grumble, grum-
BILE louder than they did at the begin
ming. The Scotchmen, who make so
much money on marmalade, object to
the duty on sugar; the Englishmen,
who make assorted waters, denounce
the tax on glucose; the owners of coal
mines, and the miners, protest against
is crying out against the rise in the
income tax. Before the Boer war,
this tax was eight pence in the pound;
then, after the war broke out, it was
made shilling; and now the govern
ment wants fourteen pence, nearly
double the old rate. Besides, trade is
bad, and American competition is
pressing. A good many Englishmen
are wondering whether, after all, it
has paid to spend so much on war and
to neglect so much at home, in order
to conquer the Beers that the English
men of Johannesburg might renounce
their English citizenship and become
citizens of the Transvaal. Britain is
not taking kindly the Boer lesson
