DIR. VAN CLEFT'S LECTURE.
Greatly Appreciated by the Patrons
of the PEOPLES Course.

Notwithstanding the many attrac-
tions that have been crowded into this
week, and the opening of the Lenten
season, u very nice audience greeted
Rev. DR., Van Cleft at the Berean
Baptist church last evening. His
theme was one calling for the best
treatment and he proved entirely
equal to the task. His review of the
great life OF Lincoln was COM
plete; his analysis OF his great char
acter, and the portrayal of the mighty
scenes in which he was principal ac-
tor, We're presented with wonderful
YNidness and force.
The wit OF Lincoln formed an inn
portant feature Of the lecture, and the
doctor was wise in his choice of anec-
dotes which illustrated the point under
discussion and pleased the audience
at the same time.
Among the many addresses that our
people have had the privilege of hear
ing on the first martyred president, DR.,
Van Clefts is entitled to high rank.
The opening music by the orchestra
under Il. j. BLY, as director, was a de-
lightful feature of the evening.

Miss Rosella Crane Becomes Deathly
Sick from Chewing Camphor Gum.

Miss Rosella Crane, who is employed
as an assistant dressmaker in the par
lors of Miss Trimmings, on North Main
street, had dangerous experience yes
terday with camphor gum, She was
suffering from headache in the morning
and to relieve her one of the assist
ants at work suggested that she chew
n piece of camphor gum, but to be
careful not TO swallow the saliva.
Miss Crane chewed the gum, but she
must have accidentally swallowed
some of the substance or saliva that
it excited, for she became deathly sick
and filed those around her with the
fear that she was having fatal at
tack.
DR.. A. +. Gillis was summoned. He
found Miss Crane in terrible distress,
with cramps, and weakened from vom-
iting spells, The remedies he admin
istered, however, happily took effect
readily and in a short time she was
restored. Miss Crane was very weak
however TOO weak TO remain ut work
and had TO go to her home. She Will
be back to her normal condition after
a short rest

THE HORSE RACES.

Crowd of over Five Hundred Wit
messed Races on Crystal Lake Yes
terday Afternoon-Ideal Condi-
tions-Creveling and Simpson the
Prize Winners--A Great Days
Sport.
A crowd of over five hundred wit
messed the races OH the ice at crystal
lake yesterday afternoon. In the
crowd was an unusually large number
of ladies. Many went out in the fore
noon and nearly one hundred enjoyed
dinner at Mullaney's hotel.
The day was an ideal one for racing,
the weather being as nearly perfect
as one would wish, while the ice was
in excellent condition.
1t was late in the afternoon when
the races were started. The first race
was the 2.25, and there were four
starters: Bennie, owned by G. B. Hol-
lister; Joe b., owned by Walter Sour
ry; Violet, owned by C. r. Creveling,
and the bay mare owned by ID. Nor
rison and driven by Levi Patterson.
Violet captured the first heat in an
exciting brush, and the next two heats
were captured by Patterson. The
fourth and fifth heats were very eNcit-
ing, and both were taken in by Grew
eling's fast one. The race was best
three heats in five, and Creveling was
awarded the prize, q $40 blanket.
In the free-for-all Levi Patterson
drove Wilkes Medium; John Simpson
handled the ribbons over Mary Col
bert, and John Cunningham, of Forest
City, took care of Grey Dick. The
first heat was nip and tuck between
Mary Colbert and Wilkes Medium and
the former won out after a desperate
struggle.
Wilkes Medium bagged the second
heat, but was hard pushed by Mary
Colbert, and there was but little space
between them when the line was
crossed.
The third heat was dead one, Simp-
son and Patterson bringing their two
horses in together. This was one Of
the most exciting brushes of the after
noon and the crowd showed it's appre-
citation by prolonged outburst Of ap-
plause. Mary Colbert won the next
two and the race. The prize was q
purse OF $40.
This ended the days sport on the
ice, though several impromptu brushes
We're INDUCED in by owners OF fast
steeds. 1t was the biggest day Crystal
lake had seen in several years. At the
conclusion of the races rigs were got
ten ready for the return trip, and u
continual string OF them was kept go
ing until late in the evening. A large
crowd remained for supper in the hotel,
and in the evening enjoyed themselves
in various manner at the hotel.
The success OF yesterdays meet and
the one preceding it will, no doubt,
all for more days of sport before the
winter is over
