BOARDING.
Although Our fondly anticipated
dormitory is not at present to be
enjoyed, nevertheless there are
many pleasant homes in which
boarding can be obtained on very
reasonable terms. But here is a
novelty in this locality-why not
bach it? The young people. from
the farm homes of the surrounding
country can secure rooms and
board themselves at merely NOM
inal cost. Many OF the presidents
of our colleges and other men Of
note have worked their way
through college; many have boarded
themselves and used every lauda-
BILE means to econ omize and keep
at their studies. We believe that
a great many students from the
country could afford to attend the
Collegiate Institute here if they
only knew how cheaply they could
live by boarding themselves. Let
there be a general effort to awaken
an interest in the education of Our
young people.

The Fiat Car Wheel.
New York Evening Post.


Statistics are not at hand showing the
number of suicides, murders, etc, due TO
the irritation of the human spirit by the
fiat street-car wheel, but any citizen can
testify that if IL does not incite to crime
the fact is a tremendous tribute 10 the self
restraint and cOmposure of mankind. The
people of Des Mo4nes. Ia, would not stand
the fiat street-car wheel any longer, and
as a result the c~arbOrundum brake shoe,
which does away with all this trouble and
in a very few hours transforms a fiat wheel
into one which is as good as new, has been
adopted for the street-car lines of that city.
Carborundum is a comparatively new COM
pound. 1t is harder than the heart of a
corporation. The ordinary brake shoe on a
street car is made of a frame of hard steel.
with an inner filling of soft iron. In certain
conditions of weather the brake shoe binds
the wheel, and, causing ii to slip, soon
grinds a fat space on the rim of the wheel
and produces what is known as a fiat
wheel" Until recently such a wheel had
TO be forced off the axle. reground. and
then forced back on the axle again by ny
draulic pressure, a process that called for
a considerable expenditure of time and
labor. but under the new system the iron
and steel brake shoe is removed. and the
carborundum brake shoe is set i'm its place.
This wears the rim of the wheel down to
a true circle and removes the flat surface.
making the wheel again as good as new.
All hail the carbOTundum brake.

DRIVER OF CRESCEUS.
How George HI. Ketchnm Entered the
Horse World.

In no sense does George H. Ketcham
answer to the popular conception of a
horseman. He is in appearance and man
ners the clean-cut man of affairs. He has
been engaged at various times in bust
p~ortance. AS a theatrical operator he has
been very successful. and at the present
time controls the largest and most sue
cessful places of amusement at Toledo,
Columbus, Dayton and indianapolis. While
an innate lover of the horse from boy
hood. his initiation into the racing game
as a trainer and driver was more from
the compulsion OF i'll health, requiring an
outdoor life than from a special desire
for the work itself.
His experience, education and career as
q horseman are best outlined in his own
words:
MY first experience as a horseman was
with a Shetland pony when twelve years
old. and no one could beat me to saddle on
on what L might call a halfway farm.
owned by my father, a thorough horseman
and lover of the kind. 1 had the benefit
Of his experience and teaching. Their
were always plenty Of horses on the differ
ent farms he owned to which l had free
access and use. In fact. the first consign-
ment of Kentucky-bTed horses / ever saw
was sent TO his farm TO be wintered. and
1 remember at the time that he said the
only good animal in that lot was a mare
called Flight, who had a hlly by her side
by Membrino Howard. That was his judg-
ment then, and to show ii was good that
FLY turned out 10 be the dam of Cresceus.
He chose Flight to be a desirable animal
for the reason that she was a good-sized
bay mare and could pace very fast, and he
selected her, thinking she would make a
good saddle mare for him TO drive cattle
with. When about sixteen years old I
started In to buy street-car horses through
Ohio and Indiana, and for a boy was quite
successful. After that / went East 10 col
lege. and was actively engaged in business
until I was twenty-eight years old. when
my health failed me, and l was advised
to take to the %trotters.
MY first purchase of any Importance
was Charley Friel, who then had a rec
ord of 2:161z, and that fall I reduced his
mark on the Defiance co. half-mlle track
to 2:15A. Shortly afterward / acquired
a large farm just out of Toledo. and in
improving II I stocked ii with brood mares.
placing a poor stallion at it's head. After
the first crop of colts / saw my mistake
and sold them all of. 1 then purchased
Robert McGregor. Since that time | have
had no reason to complain as to the success
of the farm.
My first successful campaign through
the Grand Circuit was in 1893. when
had Miss Ida, 2:10%; Katie Earl, 2:l615.
and others. Since then | have not missed
a season with a successful horse or so
through the Grand Circuit"
Mr.. Ketcham will drive Cresceus. 2:02A
against time at the Indianapolis track next
Thursday afternoon.

MOWATT AND CONWAY
They VIII BE Principals In the Next
Contest at Empire.

Arrangements are being made to bring
Young Mowatt, of Chicago. and Charley
Conway, of San Francisco, to this city as
the principals in a ten-round boxing contest
TO take place at the Empire Theater the
night of Aug. %. The conditions will be
the same as nave governed previous
matches at that theater this summer and
the lads will box ten rounds for a decision.
Young Mowatt created a good impress
sion among the local followers of the box
ing game when he was Eddie Santry's OPP
ponent at the Empire on July 8. He and
Santry boxed ten fast rounds and Santry
was given a close decision. Conway is
one of the clever young boxers Of the West.
and should be able TO give ar interesting
exhibition with the fast Chicago lad. If
Conway won't agree 60 meet Mowatt II Is
probable that ole Olson will box Mowatt.
Efforts were made TO match Mowatt and
Danny Mcmahon. OF Philadelphia, but thsy
wouldn't agree on weight.
