HAD NO GROUND.


Chicago, Oct. 26.-Charges and coun-
ter charges as to the management of
the Acme Harvester company of Peoria
and its financial affairs were presented
in sharp debate before Judge Kohlsaat
of the district court today and in the
end the court referred the matter to
Referee McCulloch of Peoria, to report
as to the soivency of the concern and
the advisa bility of appointing receiver.
The most serious charges were made
by Attorney S. o. Levinson. who de-
clares that the petitioning creditors had
no ground for asking to have the cor
poration adjudged bankrupt and that
the petition was filed so that the concern
might be further embarrassed.
This was answered by Attorney G.
B. Haffenberg to the effect that the
creditors in whose name he filed the
petition last week were willing to sub
stantiate their charges by bond as
large as the court cared TO reuuire-
This. he said. would make The petition
ers liable financially if they did not
prove their allegations.

QUEEN LOUIS WORK.
Game Little Mare Makes Record
Mile in :5S 1-2.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 26.-Lou Dillon,
with a running horse in sullSy gal
looping in front and another pressing
close behind, Saturday smashed the
worlds trotting record of 1:59sz made
by Cresceus at Wichita. Kas., and went
the mile in 1:5S1s. The conditions were
against the game little mare. A strong
wind was blowing which was a great
disadvantage in the back stretch.z In
fact Judge Newton announced just be-
fore the start that too much must not
be expected on such a day.
Lou Dillon, owned by c. K. G. Bill
lings, of Chicago, was driven by Mil
lard Sanders. The Memphis track
Sprinklers were employed throughout
the day putting on finishing touches,
and when the time for Lou nillon's
trial arrived. the course was perfect.
Lou Dillon appeared on the track at
5:10 o'clock, and after a preliminary
canter Sanders announced that he was
ready for the start. The two runners
were out in position A strip of board
about one yard wide was fastened to
the pacemaker'S sulky, directly under
the seat. This, it was announced. was
used to keep the dust out of the mares
face. At the first start Sanders nodded
for the word. and the flag dropped
After going an eighth of a mile. Sand
faster. 1t looked as if the mare would
catch the runner.
Making the first turn the remarkable
work of Lou Dillon could be better seen
by the thousands present. Like piece
of perfect machinery she reached the
quarter pole in 80 seconds. The turn
for the back stretch was reached and
many expected to see the mare falter
because of the wind. To the surprise of
everyone she seemed to travel faster.
When the half mile was reached the
timers slate clicked out 591s.
A great cheer arose and many horsemen
predicted that a new record was making.
On the far turn Mccoy was forced to
whip the runner to keep clear of the trot-
ting mare, who was pushing him closely.
The three-quarter pole was passed in :2811
and the mare had turned for home The
wind now was an advantage rather than
a detriment. and with superb burst of
speed Lou Dillon, urged on by shouts of
the drivers of the runners, dashed under
the wire in 1854.
When the time was flashed to the spec
tators hats were flung high and cheer fol-
lowed cheer. Sanders was lifted from his
sulky by an admiring throng, while Bill
lings was showered with congratulations.
1t was noticeable fact that the watches
of the three official timers agreed to the
fraction and many horsemen standing in
the inheld caught the exact time Off
ciaily announced. The timers were Bud
Doyle Fred Hartwell of Chicago and
John DickerSon of New York.

HOG CHOLERA BAD.
Farmers Along the Wakarusa
Suffer Severe Losses.

Lawrence, Kan. Oct. 26.-The news of
the scourge of hog cholera along the
Wakarusa grows worse The farmers
in the neighborhood have had their mail
flooded with literature telling of sure
cures" and they have been kept busy
by agents of cholera cures making per-
sonal visits.
The reports which were first sent ont
were not half as strong as they should
have been. Instead of 900 hogs having
died in the past few weeks more than
1000 have succumbed to the scourge
within a twenty mile radius. Few far
mers in the locality of the Wakarusa
for a distance of three miles from the
banks have any hogs left. Others are
watching q mere remnant of big pen,
perhaps a few young pigs which have
as yet survived the disease.

Copper King to Address Union
Miners of Butte.

Butte. Mont, Oct ga mass meet
ing of the miners union is to be held
this afternoon, and F. Augustus Heinz
is to address the miners from the
county court house steps. Thus far
there has been no violence, and the off,
cials of the miners union assure the
public through the newspapers there
will be none. 1t is thought that little
can come of the proposed arbitration of
the trouble by a board consisting of
Governor Toole. U. S. Senators Clark
and Gibson. Congressman Dixon and J.
J. Hill, president of the Great North
ern. The matter is considered purely
legal. and it is thought such a board
could effect nothing.

LET NOCHILD SUFFER CHRISTMAS.

Fill their stockings, make them happy.
Christmas should cause the people to
hunt for children whose stockings
Santa Claus might fail to find Every
person ought to have a good dinner on
Christ's birthday. No little hungry
Lazarresses should be unfed at outdoors
on Christmas.
In searching for these all over North
Georgia some children will be found in
such absolutely destitute circumstance
es, or in the midst of such immoral
surroundings that they will never have
a chance to be useful citizens. Some of
these ought to be given to kinfolks
Others without kindred need to be sent
to some Orphans Home where they will
have chance for life. Children ought
never to be left in Pauper House.
The North Georgia Orphans Home at
Decatur has helped about 800 suffering
children this year and we learn is ready
to help everyone. Christmas time
should mean real blessing to every
child.
