IS SON OF A KANSAS SIRE
Dan Patch Lowers The Pacing
Record at Memphis, Tenn.
PAGES THE MILE IN t:56 IA.

Memphis, Tenn, Der. pa mile In
1:564 was made by Dan Patch at the
Memphis Trotting Associations track,
in II trial against time. The PAGER
clipped tiiree-fonrths of second from
the worlds record of 1857, by Prince
Alert, and lowered his own record by
25s4 seconds.
Horse owners, who stood about the
track before the starters stand, had
caught the time with their own
watches and before the official time
was flashed out across the track they
set up y shout and threw hats and caps
high into the air. The shout was
caught up by the people in the grand
clubhouse grounds, and the victory OF
the ncw pacing idol was proclaimed IN
shouts of applause that reached their
climax as Driver NJ. c. McHenry pulled
up before the judges stand and dotted
his hat in acknowledgement of the ac-
clamation.
The trial was made with two run
ners to set the pace. the sullsy pre-
ceding tile PAGER carrying u canvas
strip between the wheels. The quar-
ter was reached in 30 seconds, the half
in So and the three-quartcrs pole in
l:274. As the horses SWING into the
stretch Dan Patch was pushing the
forw ard runner so closely that scarcely
n hands breadth INTERVIEWED between
his nose and the back OF the driver in
the forward sullsy.
The performance of Dan Patch in
setting 4; now worlds record was
surprise even to his most ardent adj
mirers. The betting on the trial was
8 to that he would not beat his own
record of 1859. He went the mile with
so little apparent exertion that his adj
nlirers are predicting that he will still
further lower the worlds record should
he start against it with weather and
track conditions as favorable as they
we're here.

WIN pisouss The other nouts.

Washington, Oct. 26.-While Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt designated in his proc
iamation calling congress into extra
ordinary session only the question of
Cuban reciprocity for consideration, it
is reasonably certain now that the
senate, at least, will have the Isthn ian
canal question brought directly to its
attention. Senator Morgan of Ala
bama has indicated his inten ton of
introducing resolution bearing upon
the canal question. Mr.. Morgan will
endeavor to show that the Panama
route now is beyond consideration and
he will urge that it is the duty of tine
president under the Spooner law, to
construct the canal Immediately by the
Nicaraguan route.

TASTE CAMPAIGN HARDSHIPS

the south and General Bells army,
much smaller in numbers, was out to
make a reconnaissance in force. Gen
eral Barry, learning of this, promptly
advanced 10 attack General Bell and
the result was what the military crit
les term "a contac. of all opposing
forms of all arms :"
General Bell in the action labored
under the disadvantage of having all
his plans known to the opposing COM
mander. Two days ago both General
Bel and General Berry supposed that
they would be on the same side of the
problem and General Bell, in making
an inspection of the ground over which
they were to operate took General
Barry with him and discussed his
planx, fully explaining what he in
tended TO do to the enemy. When the
two generals returned to their quarters
they found 4 surprise in the shape of
an orGer directing General Barry TO
command against General Bell.
Colonel Hutchins, of Texas regiment,
has asked for an inquiry into the
trouble between his men and the col
ored troops, claiming that three of his
men were "oeaten." There has been
no more trouble and none is likely as
the officers of both regiments are do
ing everything possible to avoid fric-
ton

in the right side, and his mind was
BADLY affected.

Mrs. Mcbride say:
Tho very day we began to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills our boy had TWEEN
ty-seven of these Epileptic spells or
fits. In less than week he ceased
