SENATOR CLARK TO RACE.
Montana Millionaire VIII Campaign

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-United States
Senator William A. Clark is the lat
est acquisition to the American turf
Thoroughbreds bearing his coIors and
managed by his son Charles will race
on the metropolitan tracks this sum-
mer
When the late Marcus Daily was
alive and the hatred between him and
Clark was so intense that they sought
in every way to gain the mastery over
each other, Clark purchased a few
race horses and ran them on the Mon
tana tracks controlled by DAILY. But
he soon tired of the thoroughbreds,
and they were sold. He has not raced
horses for nearly ten years.
After his great ambition to become
United States senator was realized he
began to look for some form of recre-
alton for the duh summer months. The
success of his son on the Montana cir
cult, where he was recently elected
president of the jockey clubs Of Ana
conda and Butte, induced him, it is
said, to try the turf again.
Senator Clark had conferred with
Philip ]. Dwyer and Frank r. Hitch
cock as to trainers, jockeys and horses.
Mr.. Clark, 1t is said, informed both
men that it was his intention to race
horses on scale BETTING his wealth,
and to become a competitor of mill
lionaires like w. c. Whitney, August
Belmont and James r. Keene.

BEER CANNOT BE
TAXED BY THE STATE
Where 1t Is Imported Into Missouri
to Be Exported Out of 1t.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 8.-Judge
John f. Philips, in the United States
district court here today, handed down
an opinion in the case of a Milwaukee
brewing company against State Beer
Inspector Crenshaw, in which the con-
stitutionality of the state lax taxing
beer and the question as to- whether
the beer bill was an interference with
and a burden on interstate commerce
was decided.
Judge Philips holds that as to beer
consumed in the state, he is controlled
by the decision of the supreme court of
the state on the constitutionality of
the measure. AS to whether beer i'm
ported into this state to be exported
out of it again can be taxed by the
state, he holds that such tax cannot
be imposed, as it would be in contra
vention of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution and to the interstate
commerce laws. He holds that such
tax would be a burden on interstate
commerce and he Overruled a demur-
rer filed by the state attorney general.
The latter is given until next rule day
to answer, after which the trial will
be held on it's merits.

Gen. Saml. B. M. Young who succeeds

April o. 1861. When the war ended he
was colonel. After the Civil war he
entered the regular service as second

the army was reorganized,h he was trans

to a captaincy. For sixteen years he
had command OF a company; then major
for nine years and just before the Span

The money in circulation increased
nearly six million dollars in July, and
twenty-one million dollars during the
year ending with July. This is a rate
of currency expansion about double
what would have been effected hads the
mints been opened to free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver at the ratio of l6 to
/. 1t has been a period of increase in
money circulation far exceeding any
since the civil war. AS the agitation

DOCTOR HAS HIS TROUBLES.
Has Little Verse That he Thinks
Fits the Situation.

1t seems to- be characteristic of about
every profession that the man engaged
in it thinks it has some pretty rough
edges. The ice man thinks his lot the
hardest. The lawyer tires of waiting
for clients. The preacher finds it diff
cult to get accustomed to living with
out his salary. And the doctor is sure
he has about the worst time of all, I'M
less it is the editor. The editor has
become so philosophical, however, that
he is really falling in love with his lot
and once he gets into Il printing Office
no other profession can induce him to
leave it. But here is what this article
was started for, to allow the doctor to
express his troubles in rhyme. One of
the Leon profession does not claim the
distinction OF composing this little
verse but he is pretty sure it speaks the
truth and lets TIE REPORTER have it for
publication:
God and the doctor we alike adore,
Only in danger and not before,
The danger DER, both are unrequired,
God is forgotten, and the doctor
sighted.
