 W. s. Moughon's Harry won the first race, 2:24 trot, in three straight heats. In each he won handily, but no great distance separated him from the second horses MT. Moughon states that he in tends to take Harry off the track, as he has raced more than the allotted num- Der of years, and now deserves a rest The horse has won many races, and is still one of the gamest horses which trots on a southern track.
 Robert could have won three straight heats had he not broken in the third. He defeated the other horses in the three heats with many lengths of day light showing between the rear Of his sulky and the head of the nearest horse.
 Jeff, P. G. Bowman's horse, won the last race easily. He paced away from the other horses, and clearly showed that he OdNCldSoGd bAiSAis 4iC liSNSA OiSAAS % SAAA5AS time in any of the three heats.

EASY IDENTIFICATIONS.
II Isn't Always Hard to Get ALONG With
Supposedly Exacting Omcials.

story is going the rounds Of German
newspapers about the curious experience
of professor III a German town who
wanted to cash postal order.
The post Office attendant to whom he
applied told him that he would have to
be identified. The professor was unknown
in the community. He was much troubled,
for he needed the money. The post Office
man presently became sympathetic and
expressed desire to be helpful.

In London he received a money order
for the Is francs, and when he presented
it at the 6 neral post Office he was asked
to write MS name as receipt. When he
handed the paper back the man at the
desk said that he could not pay out money
on that signature.
The Syracuse man was in a quandary
until it occurred to him that he signed his
name as often with his first name and mid
die initial as he did using only the two

just signed his first two initials only to the
postal receipt and had been turned down,
he concluded he must have put his first

HONEYMOON on A HANDCAR.
Plight OF Bride and bridegroom in Flood
Time In Missouri.

GLRNwoop, Mo-, June ia bridal couple
had an odd experience here this week.
When they had been pronounced man and
wife at the home OF the brides parents in
Lancaster, telephone announcement
came from the station that train No. 3
on the Northwestern had been abandoned
on account Of high water.
This was the train the couple had az
ranged to take to connect with the midnight
Wabash express at Glenwood junction.
The hackman was called up. He said he
wouldn't make that trip through four miles
of Missouri mud and rain for farm with
clear title.
II you were ever married you know with
what superstitious apprehension the bride
regards any disarrangement OF honey
moon plans. Detected and gloomy faces
appeared, where half hour before every
thing had been bright and joyous.
Then an angel came and knocked at the
door. II was Charley Daniels, boss of the
section gang. He had a handcar down
at the station, and II the couple would
use it he would call out the boys and they
would pump II over to the junction.
The bride was all smiles again. Four
trunkfuls of trousseau were crowded into
two valises and inst ructiorN given to send
the leftover material on the next train

the At alton, where waited Daniels and his
grimy crew.
The skies were black and angry, and
some rain drops FELL but the pretty bride
laughed as she said her new travelling
suit was designed expressly for storms.
The band played, the crowd cheered and
threw rice, and the little car with it's solitary
hand lantern shot out into the darkness.
The little car carried its passengers
through With no other mishap than thor

were Prof. Leonard NJ. thompson prinoi-
pal OF the Lancaster High School, and Miss
Mary z. Grist, daughter Of George Grist.

AN AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHER.
Or. John r. Thompson Sails From New
York on . Mission for His Government

DR.. John P. Thompson OF Queensland,
who has contributed very largely by per-
sonal researches and writings to our knowl-
edge Of Australia. arrived in New York
recently and sailed on the Kronprinz
Wilhelm last Tuesday for Europe. He
will visit all the leading countries Of the
Continent. including Russia, and he expects
to collect a large amount OF information
on subjects that have been assigned to him
for investigation by the Australian Gov
eminent.
The Governments OF the Commonwealth
desire to place all their departments
which have to do with economic and
commercial development upon the best
scientific basis. They wish to know,
for example, the methods by which
other countries are promoting the
interests Of agriculture and forestry; how
the study Of soils is carried on. what methods
are employed for the conservation and dis
tribution of the water supply, the regula-
tions under which forests are protected
and extended and the agencies by which
governments promote many other material
interests. ,
DR.. Thompson will meet many men who
have practical relations with these prob
lens, Including professors in the universities
and teachers in the technical schools. He
expects to return to this country early in
considerable time In Warrington and will
also visit Canada.
While in England and Scotland, Dr.
Thompson will read papers before the
geographical societies and the Colonial
Institute. He Ia the founder and was until
recently the president Of the Queensland
branch Of the Australian Geographical
Society, and 1t was largely through his in
fuence and under his direction that tho
society has 90 xealously studied tho geo
graphical problems OF Australia and Diff
fused through it's publications a scientific
knowledge OF that continent. Among DR..
Thompsons most recent writings on this
subject are series Of papsSs on tie physical

THE MISSING DOCUMENT.
The Mayor Has It and Will Have Ac-
 ton Taken in Proper Time.

City Clerk Ryan was very angry this morning at some remarks alleged to have been made last night at the meeting of the department of public safety by Commissioner Taylor regard ing the charges preferred against Fire man Mccarthy of the Burton street house. '"That matter was not before the meeting last night" said MT Ryan to Democrat reporter, 'tso that if there any mystery about 1t the public should look for 1t in the conduct of the gentleman who sought to bring it up at a time when 1t could not be acted upon. When Chief Snagg gave me the charges I turned them over to the mayor, as the charter requires me to do, and I suppose he will call special meeting to consider them when he gets to it. They are in his desk now and they were there last night, and any 1n' ference to the contrary is not right. No public document intrusted to me ever disappeared" in any mysterious way, and I don't think that I'm likely to let one go now for the purpose of completing a tpremeditated scheme or for any other reason"
 There was not much to it, anyway. As a matter of fact Commissioner Fay Tor was simply giving Chairman Lahey 8 game of jolly when he mentioned the matter, but MT Ryan has always taken pride in doing his work well and probably does not care to allow even a little thing like that go unchallenged, especially now that he is so soon to retire from the office which he has filled in most satisfactory manner for 1 the past four years.
