Money For st. Leger

New York. Sept. 9.-There is great
excitement in racing circles owing to
the sudden reversal Of the betting odds
on W. c. Whitney's NlOdOyovski for the
St. Leger next week, says the London
correspondent of the Journal. The horse
carries more money than any other of
the year. and some turfnen assert that
il is a record amount. NOlOdyovski was
a strong favorite at to 4 on. Later
there was enormous betting at to 1
against, and now it has swung again to
about even money. Wall street rumors
are nothing compared with the contra
dictOry reports about Whitney's horse.
Everything from declarations that he is
lame and won't even start to that he is
certain winner in a walk are flying
about There is also speculation as to
the cause. Whether Volodyovski wins
or loses many betters viii be hit ire
mendously hard 1t is the biggest bet
ting known on an American owned
horse. Every cabman and every mil
lionaire follower of the turf has got
something one way or the other on
'-Volly," as the horse is called for
short.
Meantime. he is training at Newman

Kansas City, Kan. Sept. "a genuine

That the oil find is q. valuable one is
believed by everyone who has examined
the well. If the precious fluid flows in
sufficient quantity it is safe to predict

Why 0steopathy Is Popular.

1t is a fact that the osteopath in
n few weeks or months obtains a
standing with the best people in
his community that it would take
a physician years to acquire.
The reasons for this are many
and obvious. In the first place
the theory of the Science of oste-
opathy is a rational and common
sense one. There is nothing vague,
mysterious, or occult about it; but
being based upon the laws Of ma
ture, it commends itself to the I'M
prepared and thinking mind.
Another thing that tends to pop
ularize it is the plain and reason
able system Of charges usually adj
opted by the osteopath-a system
whereby the patient Is enabled to
tell approximately what it is 60
ing to cost him to regain health.
The treatment is undertaken with
the knowledge that there will be
no bill for medicine, extra visits,
etc, at the final reckoning.
Almost every one dislikes to
take medicine. There is hardly an
adult to be found who has not ma
ny times been depressed and sick
ened by heroic doses of drugs, and
as the Irishman expressed it, felt
sick a long time after he got well''
If osteopathy did nothing but
abolish experimental doses by poi.
sonous drugs aid curtail the mum.
Der of surgical operations, it
would be worthy of the gratitude
of countless sufferers.
And finally, osteopathy has 10y.
al defenders and warm adherents
among all classes, because of re-
suits obtained by its practitioners.
Nothing succeeds like success
1t is results that tell.
What the invalid wants is to get

ed in the name of the school of !,
healing to which his doctor be. |
longs as he is in the fact that he
can do what he claims to do. 1t
is by this standard that osteopathy
asks to be judged. While the
claim is not made for it that it is
cure-all, or that it has eliminated
leath from the world, yet the fact
'emains that it has brought health
md vigor to the body and cheer to
he heart of many an invalid fnomt
whom all hope had vanished for.

These are but a few of the reas-
'ns why osteopathy has firm, 10y

cientious osteopaths. If you are
