ULLMAN ANNOUNCES HIS PLANS.
Will Not Make Book on Montgomery
Handicap or American Derby.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Hot Springs. Ark. Feb. 16.-Joe Ullman
will not make future book on the Ameri-
can Derby or the Montgomery Handicap
this year. He has heretofore conducted a
$4,000 book on this sporting event He
said:
THE American Derby comes off so late
in the year that i am forced to change the
base of operations TO the East before the
book is closed. and that is very inconveni-
ent The Montgomery Handicap has a
pronounced favorite in McChesney, which
makes it a bad race to make future book
on. Therefore L have decided not to post
any future odds on either of the events"

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Cincinnati. Feb. lS-Horse owners, lock-

track were placed in serious predicament
to-day by the suspension of the meeting,
most of them being without funds or
homes.
Horses valued at $500 were being offered
for s25 and $50. but found no buyers, and
some owners disposed of blankets and other
equipment for almost nothing
In desperation some finally appealed to
Manager Fowler. who arranged to give
board and lodging. taking the horses as Sc
curity, and assured them that the meeting
would be resumed in two weeks.
To-day's programme was carried out
despite the fact that a binding snowstorm
made it impossible to see the horses ex-
cept at the finish.
The majority of the owners at the track
seem confident that the management will
do as caimed-reopen on the 18th, and
their only troubles are how to exist until

A MILD CASE

Of Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted. 1t is always bad though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease ap-
pear for long time.
Because the disease is slow in deve1-
oping, does not indicate that the case is
a mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
ternal signs. contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, red erup-
ton upon the body, sores or ulcers in the
mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored
blotches, loss of hair and eyebrows and
other symptoms of this miserable disease.
When the poison is thus fighting its way
to the surface, exposing the disease in all
its hideousness, we call it bad case, but
Contagious Blood Poison, whether working
internally or externally, is dangerous,
treacherous disease.
S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and
permanently. 1t is an antidote for the
deadly virus that produces the awful erup-
tions, sores and ulcers, and destroys the
bones. Mercury and Potash dry up the
skin eruptions, but in so doing drive the
poison further into the system, where it
slumbers for a time, but comes back again
with redoubled fury.
S. S. S. is vegetable remedy that has
been used successfully for years in treating

INVENTOR OF THE BATON.
How II Caused the Death of the Man
Who First introduced the Band
Leaders Wand.

The inventor of the baton has been
discovered. According to the investi-
cations of a Frenchman the credit be-
longs to Lully, the composer, who
eventually had cause to regret his in
ventiou.
Before he adopted the baton, con
ductors were in the habit of pounding
on the floor with their feet or clapping
their hands to mark the time. Lully
found it wearisome to keep his foot
constantly in motion, and so used a
stick to strike the floor and beat time.
lie used a pole six feet long.
One day he brought down the pole
with such force that it struck his foot
and made a deep wound. He paid no
attention to the matter. The wound
grew worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried
more and more to improve the baton
and it was ultimately brought TO it's
present form.

IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA.
Some of che Many Changes which
Have occurIed In Thnt Country
In Recent Years.

Since 1896 five events have occurred
hat wholly change conditions in
Alaska for the better, reports the
Engineering Magazine.
1. In that year the Klondike gold
discoveries were made, and in 1897
and lS9S n great rush to and through
Alaska began, resulting in a doubling
of the population and in an output
of gold from the Yukon region to
date of SIS, 900.
?. In 1898 the Philippine islands
were acquired by the United States.
giving Importance TO the direct route
along the Alaskan coast between
North America and the new posses
sions.
}. In 1899 gold was discovered on
the leach at Nome, and this carried
$4,000 people to this part of Alaska
and resulted in an output of S5,O00.-
600 in gold annually, or more than
twice as much as all Alaska had pre-
viously yielded.
4. The Alaskan salmon fisheries, in
their infancy in 1895. have grown in
y 0 to great companies, ca;italized
FOR S20,000,000 and with net earnings
last year of more than $4,000, 900 and
employing 10000 men.
3. Two railroads have been con
Structed in Alaska. n of which is in
the extreme southeast, costing $4,000
OCO, earned last year over SO, 900, eco net,
and the other in the extreme north
west near Nome, a little road five
miles long, which earned $4,000 net.
6. Coal fields formerly specifically
Known have been explored and inves-
tigated, while new ones of great val
ne have been discovered.
