Dick Weles. with two worlds records TO

The turf honors were pretty evenly d.
yided in the East this year, there being
no decided champion in any one class. AS
rule, the winner of the rich Futnrity is
awarded the championship honors. but there
were quite few youngsters who could dis
pute the title of Hamburg Belle. the win
ner, this year. The Belle, however, was
only beaten twice out of seven starts. In
horses she beat later in the season. The
next time out, also at Aqueduct. she fin
ished second to The Lady Rohesia. After
that ii was continuous string of victories
for the Haggin-bred filly. The only really
high-class field she beat was in the Fu-
turity Among the good ones which Ham
burg Belle never met are Aristocracy, Stall
wart and the Western division, headed by
English Lad, Auditor and Peter Paul.

The Russians will make very low freight

the Gar will give a bounty to such goods

After competition has been crowded out
the bounty will be withdrawn and the prices
raised. This has been the Russian policy

WILL BE CAREFUL.
Commissioners Won't Be Caught by
Bridge Companies.

The county commissioners are in
doubt as to the course they viii pursue
in rebuilding the five Kansas river
bridges in Shawnee county. One point
on which the commissioners are agreed
and that is that the bridge building
companies which have defrauded the
county in the past Will receive scant
recognition from the board and the
builders who followed the plans and
specifications and gave the county value
received Will be looked upon with favor.
The represe natives of the bridge COM
panias are in Topeka and they form a
formidable lobby to look after the pas
sage Of enabling acts to give counties
the right to rebuild bridges The rep
resentatives of some of the bridge COM
panies have in the past used some rath-
err sharp methods with the commission
ers and one has but lately come to light.
Three years ago a bridge was built
across the Kansas river near Maple
Hill 1t was in Shawnee ard Va
/ baunsee Counties. The repres@ ltative
/ of the bridge company which beceived
the contract secured the names of the
commissioners at that time, Kelsey
Williams and Rodgers, to an agreement
to the effect that the bridge should be
built There was no reason for such
an agreement as the bridge was built
+ by Wabaunsee county and by private
Subscription and the Shawnee county
commissioners aided in the Work only
bv giving 81. 600 toward the work.
This week the bridge company repre-
sentative started an agitation for the
rebuilding of the bridge and the agree
ment was presented to the county com
imissioners and an attempt was made t.
make them believe that Shawnee coun-
tv. under the agreement. viii be com
relied to rebuild the bridge.
The commissioners favor building one
bridge west and one east of topeka I'm
mediately and to wait a year or mort
before building the rest. The commits
sioners do not consider the Maple Hill
bridge important. In saving the
bridges the commissioners intend u
