Miss Bessie Anthony Wins Woman's
National Golf Championship.
sR0 WIZ Not Defend Her Title
Next Year, as She VIII BE
Married November B.

Wheaton, ILL.,, Oct. 4.-The woman's
national golf championship belongs to
Miss Bessie Anthony, of the Glenview
club, Chicago. She made runaway
match of her game with Miss ]. Anna
Carpenter, of Westward Ho, in the
finals for the championship over the
Wheaton course Saturday, taking the
lead at the fourth hole and steadily in
creasing it until the end came at the
twelfth hole, Miss Anthony winning
seven up and six to play. Considering
the weather conditions, 30-mile gale
sweeping over the course during the
entire play, Miss Anthony's gamo was
remarkable. Only twice was she in
trouble, getting into the bunker guard
ing the first hole on long brassy shot,
and driving out of bounds on the sew
enth. Miss Carpenter, on the con-
trary, played in woefully bad form.
Seven bunkered shots and two shots
driven into the wide pond guarding
the ninth and tenth holes tell the story
of her defeat.
This is probably the last golf tour
nament Miss Anthony will ever figure
in. She will be married, November 8,
to Mr.. B. S. Horne, of Pittsburg, and
stated to friends that she did not ex-
pect either to defend her titles of west
ern or national champion next year.

CHICAGO CENTENNIAL ENDS.
Winds Up Celebration in a Blaze of
Fireworks Before the Largest
Crowd Since Worlds Fair.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Chicago's centen-
NAL celebration closed Saturday night
in a blaze of fireworks, which illumi-
nted the largest crowd ever assembled
on the lake front. Estimates of the
number which witnessed the greatest
fireworks display seen here since the
Worlds fair ranged from 100000 to
$4,000 persons. Out in the lake scores
of craft cruised about, their size vary
ing from the small rowboat and the
diminutive yachts to the big excursion
steamers, which were packed to the
guards.
The exhibition began when red and
white fires burst out along the govern
ment pier for distance of several
blocks. A discharge of bombs and sky
rockets followed Immediately, the
bombs exploding in midair and scatter
ing red, white and blue stars in the
thousands. This brilliant lombard
ment was kept up for an hour and a
quarter, while at intervals set pieces
were fired and oddities introduced.
Fort Dearborn at one time appeared in
fiery outline; at another time Chicago
was symbolized as phoenix rising
from its ashes; the statue of Liberty
stood forth; a balloon rose and from it
broke out the American flag.

Mississippi State News
May Resist Tax.

1t is probable that the Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley, the Gulf & Ship
Island and the Canton, Aberdeen &
Nashville roads will resist the COL
lection of the special privilege tax
levied on all roads which claim an
exemption. These are the only three
roads in the State which claim an
exemption. This law was passed
by the last Legislature and the roads
took the case to the courts. 1t was
decided against them by Judge
Powell some time ago, and the case
was appealed to the State Supreme
Court, where it is now waiting its
turn. Until the case is decided by
that tribunal it is probable that the
roads will refuse to pay this tax next
year. On the assessment blanks
sent to the collectors of the coun-
ties through which these roads run
there is a column in the assessment
blank for this tax.

ILLINOIS STATE FAIR CLOSES.
The Total Receipts and Attendance
Far Greater Than That of Amy
Former Fair i'm the State.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 5.-The Illinois
state fair closed Saturday night. The
total receipts for the week were $751;
90, exceeding the receipts of 1901, the
next best year, by over $4,000. The
attendance was greater on every day
than on the corresponding day of for.
mer fairs. This has been demonstra-
ton of unexampled progress and pros"
perity in Illinois.
Saturday was "pay day" at the fair,
and prize winners presented their war
rants and received their prizes. AT
noon there was a grand parade OF
prize-winning stock of all descriptions
in the coliseum. Few exhibits in this
country could excel it in size and quail
ity. Gov. and Mrs. Yates rode to the
grounds on horseback Saturday morn
ing and received the public at the gov
errors headquarters, where he shook
hands with hundreds. Senator Shelby
NJ. Cullom was also on the grounds.
