SARATOGA SPECIAL.
The greatest sportsman's race of all the
American events is unquestionably the
Saratoga Special. which is so valuable and
carries with it the only gold plate given In
this country that il is a matter of great
pride and satisfaction to win it. Mr.. Zieg-
Ter will go after this classic and has, there

which will give him the privilege of nam
ing six horses on May and sending two of
those named to the post II he so elects. An
owner take many subscriptions as
he desires at $1,000 for the privilege OF
nominating three horses and starting one,
or, II he fails TO start any, FORGETTING $500

sportsman's race. The winner takes all the

CHICAGO. April ls.-There was no trou-

he would do so. The racing meet will not
be discontinued.
Early in the day word had been passed
around among patrons of the betting ring
that there would be no trouble. After the
last race was run Chief of Police Cox. of
Hammond, called on Condor and told him
Governor Durbin's edict would have 10 be
obeyed. Condor asked that the police take
no radical steps until he could consult his
associates. The police promised to wait
until Sunday.
Chief of Police Cox acted in compliance
with orders issued by Governor Durbin,
who had threatened TO send the state SOL
diery to Hammond If the police and sher-
if were unwilling or unable to put a stop
to pool selling at the track.

Who viii Pay for the Proposed tiiqh
School Building in Virginia, is j.
Evidently Worrying Some
OF OUR EvELETH NElGnB0RS.
Editor Garrett Finds a Mares Nest
and Throws q Fit Over the High
School Bond Proposition.

The last issue of the Eveleth Min
ing News contains a screed on the
query as to who will pay for the
proposed new Virginia High School
building, the article plainly denot-
ing that the writer permitted his
prejudice to run away with his pre-
sumed "horse sense" or else ack,
in its entirety, of that commodity
which has always been recognized
as one of the essential portions of
the anatomy of one who graces, or
attempts to grace, the editorial
chair. :.
In the article referred to Editor
CARROT has figured out that the Ev-
eleth end of the district will be call
ed upon to pay the sum of $39,8S8.89
of the proposed bond issue of $4,000
for high school building in this
city. unless the issuance of these
bonds is in some manner prevented
by the Evelethites, and would try to
impress upon his readers the idea
that Virginians are acting in bad
faith in the premises, going so far
as to attribute an agreement, on the
part Of Virginia members of the.
school board, that: if permitted to
bond for the erection of "a new high
school building, such as is sdemand-
ed by the continued growth and
educational advancement at this
point, the south end of the district
would not be called upon to pay
any portion of the necessary outlay
This portion of the article, al
though based upon fallacious pre-
sumptions too transparent to de-
mand serious consideration, will
permit of a lucid explanation for
the benefit of that hapless class of
whom the News editor seems to be
one. Other people, or those whom
nature and research have endowed
with the faculty of perception and
understanding, know that no mem
Der of school board would be en-
titled to give such promise; they
are but servants of the people, in
their official capacity, and not enti-
tied to usurp the rights of those
whom they represent, as would be
the case had they entered into such
an agreement as mentioned. Fur
thermore, the statement is worthy
of additional note from the fact that
the Virginia members of the board
accredit the contention of such an
agreement as IAN absolute false
hood"
: Proceeding, the writer of the screed
says: "The apparent haste with
which the meeting of citizens of
School District No.. % was called,
the fact that it was. advertised in
such way that nobody in Eveleth
knew that there was to be such
meeting, and the large amount OF
bonds voted for, justify the conclu-
sion that there is "a nigger in the
fence" Inasmuch as the necessity
of new school for Virginia has en-
crossed the attention of the trustees
and patrons of the district for a
longer period than Mr.. Garrott has
been a known quantity on the Mesa
ba range, we trust his reticent ma
ture may permit him to admit the
falsity of his allegation on this
point. As to the second statement,
the law provides the method of call
ing school meeting for such pur-
