Choice Capture Purses-Lunar Takes
Feature of the Day.

ST. LOUIS, NO. Sept. 29.-There was
an agreeable change in the weather con-
ditions at Delmar this afternoon. The
clouds OF the past few davs gave way
to sunshine and the track dried out so
that 1t was fast. A large Monday
crowd was attracted by the favorable
weather, and as three strong favorites
and a second choice were successful the
bettors went home n q good humor.
The event of the afternoon was the
fourth race, mile and sixteenth af-
fair. Jordan was an odds-on fayorite.
but he was not placed at the finish,

GREGOR K. WINS THE
FORWARD STAKES

ture, Finishes Third-Large Crowd
Out to See Opening Days Sport.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. Sept. pa big crowd
turned out this afternoon on the oc-
casion of the opening of the last Har-
lem race meeting of the year, although
the weather was cloudy and the track
heavy. The poor condition of the track
did not make much difference 10 the
form players, however, for they picked
three of the SIX winners and backed the
others well also.
The feature of the card. which was a
good one, was the Forward Stakes for
two-year- -olds, at seven furlongs. Top
soil was the choice of the talent, but
when 1t came to the finish Gregor K.
and Gypzene beat him out. Hildreth's
Lucien Appleby, favorite in the betting,
took the fifth race at mile, and Ben
nett's good three-year-old Aladdin
placed another victory to his credit in

Legation Officials Scout Story.

Nothing has been received at tie CO.
lombian legation, this city, relative to
the report contained in the foregoing
cable dispatch. Moreover, the officials
of the legation are confident that no ad-
vices of this character will be received
from the Colombian government, and
they characterize the report as abso-
lutely false and cut from whole cloth
1t was pointed out at the legation
last night that there has never been any
question of Colombia ceding sovereignty
OF the canal route to the United States
Such course would be impossible, In
asmuch as the constitution of the CO.
lom5ian government expressly prohibits
such action. In addition the United
States is not anxious to assume sov-
ereignty over the canal strip. All that
is desired. as has been brought out il
the negotiations between Colombia and
this Government. is that the United
States shall have the right to police The
canal strip and to aetend to all ques-
tions of u character likely to arise from
such supervision.
AS for the question of lease in per-
petuity, the officials of the legation say
that while technically it is a very in
tricate question, and one not possible of
solution off-hand, there being a ques-
tion as to whether a lease in perpetuity.
so-called, would not constitute a grant
of sovereignty or, in fact, an actual sale,
still there are many ways Of avoiding
possible violation of the Constitution
or the creation of an argument difficult
of settlement.
Hundred Year Lease Probable.
The easiest way out of the difficulty,
and the course which will probably be
pursued is for Colombia to grant 100
year lease OF the canal strip to the
United States, renewable at the expira-
tin,, nf hnf time a the nptinp of

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29.-Dr. f. S
Coburn. aged forty years. vice president
of the Bonanza Mine and Smelter Com
pany, of Washington, ID. c., shot and
killed himself about midnight while
alone in the fiat he occupied Sunday. He
left two sealed letters for local people
Little is known of Coburn in the neigh
borhood except that he seemed to have
plenty of money and that lately he has
been drinking. Sunday he seemed ex-
cited and declared to the occupants OF
the lower fiat that no matter what hap
pened they should not think him crazy.
Dr.. Coburn is said to have been a
familiar figured a decade in Washing

incorporated. and is said to be worth
at least 100000. Business troubles are
ascribed by personal friend for the

Loans Called In.

The yocketirg OF call monev rates to-
day was ascribed directly to shifting
and calling of loans by the local bankers
and financial institutions incidentally
TO preparations for meeting interest and
dividend payments on October l. These
payments are heavy. 1t was figured to-
day that. not including the interest on
Government bonds. payment of which
has been anticipated, the total payments
would aggregate about ss1 ,O00.o 900. This
amount includes about 1900, 900 paya-

An open Letter,

To DAN.
| had supposed our newspaper con-
troversy closed as you seemed to have
had enough of it and quit but I pre-
sumo that you could not resist the
temptation to give me a parting blow
when you learned that I had sold out
and so thought that my hands were
tied and that you took no risk of my
replying. To some this would have
seemed cowardly and others might not
have considered it strictly honorable
warfare, but little considerations like
that would not trouble you. I was not
aware that you had assumed to dictate
the private business of the individuals
here or should have come to you and
asked your permission to dispose of my
property.
That you are the Republican leader
of Villas county is admitted, but, still it
might not be out of place to call your
attention to the votes in the caucuses
to which you allude. 1t is unneces-
sary to call your attention to my ma
jority in the Eagle River caucus and
the delegates for me had thirty five
votes and no opposition in Minocqua.
These two caucuses elected half of the
delegates of the county while the re-
cords show that eleven votes elected
nine delegates in the caucus in ArbOr
Vitae and have been informed that
seven votes were all that the successful
delegates had at Flam beau.

THE WORST FORM.

Multitudes are singing the praises OF
Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digestlng what
they eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach and by Transforming their
into the kind OF pure, rich. red blood
that makes you feel good all over. Mrs.
Cranfll of Troy, I. T., writes: For a
number of years I was troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia which grew
into the worst form. Finally I was in
duced to use Kodol and after using four
bottles am entirely cured. [ heartily
recommend Kodol to all sufferers from
indigestion and dyspepsia. Take dose
after meals. It digests what you eat.

Pat Kilroy met wit serious accident
while hauling hay for John Green We'd
nesday afternoon. He had just started
out from the hay sheds on the north
side of the river, when in some manner
the load tipped over, he striking on a
stick of square timber breaking lis leg
at the ankle joint. DR.. Sanborn re-
duced the fracture and took him to
the hospital at Rhinelander. 1t is
feared that it may be necessary to
amputate his leg.
Later: DR.. Sanborn returnedI hurs-
day and said that the break was set and
that Pat was getting along nicely.
Ralph Bakerwho with his parents for
merly resided, met with here serious
accident near Merrill short time ago,
which will make him a cripple for life.
Ralph was in the employ of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railway Co.,
as brakeman. He was on a logging
train and while doing some switching
the accident happened. He jumped on
the pilot of the engine and in getting
to throw switch, his trousers caught
on the coupling of the air hose trip
ping him SO that when he fell his two
legs were lying across the rails, the
front trucks of the engine passing over
them, cutting them off just below the
knees. This accident is indeed a sad
one, coming when so young in life. He
was married at Arbor Vitae about a
year and half ago and about a week
before this accident happened had paid
the last payment on some city property
in wausau upon which he intended to
build for himself a home.
