The Peculiar Gauges water.

was almost overwhelmed by the en-.
thusiasm of his team mates, friends
and spectators. Hahn beat Walsh
by about yard in the l00yRrd event
and in the longer dash he was about
two feet ahead at the finish. 1t was
expected that the heavy going would
be in Walsh's favor, as he is pow
erful runner, and this makes Hahn's
victory all the more creditable. The
time in both races, of course, was
slow, but when the condition of the
! track and the head wind are taken
into consideration it can readily be
seen that the performance of Hahn
in the 100 yard dash was wonderful.
The Tribune can endorse this
from the Southwest: "Rev G. Merri-
field, who entered the ministry from
Linden, has been made Presiding
Elder Of this district, the Platteville
District. His appointment was "A
happy one. He not only has abili-
ty as a preacher, but has also that at.
tribute which Bishop Joyce spoke of
as desirable for preachers before one
of the Indiana Conferences II few
days, ago, namely, common sense,
Methodism iourished in the days
when common sense prevailed. II is
likely to flourish in this District
henceforth."
The fair at Dodgeville last week
was a success Notwithstanding the
inclement weather at the opening.
The attendance on Wednesday was
augmented by the presence of Cover
nor LaFollette who made a very for
chile and entertaining speech, hold
ing his hundreds of hearers through
out despite the heavy rain fall, the
only protection afforded either speak
er or hearers being umbrellas. Thurs
day and Friday the weather proved
favorable and the people turned out
as they should. All in all it was one
of the best fairs yet held by the So
ciety. What our neighbors need bad
ly is more suitable grounds.
Something unlike that which
Chicago ever has seen before, or the
country at large, for that matter, has
proved such an involation in amuse-
ment circles as the grand summer
concerts at the Coliseum Gardens.
No visitor to Chicago should miss
seeing the grand display shown in
the great building, only few blocks
from the Illinois Central railway sta
ton, where fairyland is rooted with
green leaves and boughs, from out OF
which peep thousands of vari-color-
ed lights. But there is more in this
falkland, which rivals the most spec
tacular display ever seen on the
stage, than the decorations. Soft
| music, played by the world-famous
organization, Brooke's Chicago Ma.
| rine Band, floats through the air and
compels the ear to listen, and as one
sits there, surrounded by the beauti-
full statualy, the garlands of flowers
the wreatbs of touched
leaves, one can well imagine that he
is in that beauty spot of the world

Jim, HOWARD TESTIFlEs.
Denies That He Took Part in Any Way
in Goebel's Assassination.

Frankfort, Ky, April 19.-James e.
Howard took the stand in his own de-
fence in his trial for the Goebel MUIR
the whole day. He contradicted Yout-
sey throughout, and adhered in the
main to his former testimony, with sew
eral minor contradictions. He denied
any connection with the murder, and
said he came to Frankfort to secure a
pardon from Taylor for the murder of
George Baker.
Howard contradicted his former testi-
mony in testifying that he had letter
from John G. White to Taylor. In his
previous testimony he said he had no
introduction to Taylor and came with
out letter from any one. On his pre-
vious testimony he said that he had a
letter through John G. White on the
date of Jan. q to come to Frankfort.
Yesterday he testified that he had re-
ceived the letter on Jan. "a. Youtsey
testified that Taylor dictated the letter
on Jan. &C.
Howard testified that he had stopped
at the Board of Trade hotel with Berry
Howard on Jan. 80, the night following
the killing. Previously, at both trials.
Howard testified that he slept on the
floor in the office Of the commissioner of
agriculture that night Berry Howard
testified that Jim Howard had slept
with him at this hotel on Jan. 80, 1900.
Z Howard could offer no satisfactory
explanation for his change of testi-
mony.

young men as John Dugan. son Of the
proprietor of the restaurant, and
Timothy Koehane. The stolen coppers
were found and the two were brought
back to this city. The third man.
Everett Demerritt, claimed that he met
the other two and bought 400 coppers
for 25 cents. He was released from
custody as far as the break was con-
cerned' Dugan is already under 5000
ponds on charge of breaking and en-
tering.
