BETTING LESS LIVELY,

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. Aug 1a-On the eve Of the
yacht race betting men took a decided reef
in their speculative operations, with the
result that there was little activity over
the result
The concensus Of opinion was that the
time allowance to be conceded by the Rs
lance was a factor toward this end, ,,desbife
the fact that there was seemingly wealth
of money to sport" on both yachts
Sportsmen favoring Shamrock III ARE
holding on for 215 to 1. while the Relianco
followers are only willing to lay to !.
These are the odds on the result Of the
series, although several good bets were put
down at even money that the Shamroc8
would win at least one race.
One of the largest Individual bets N
Wall street to-day was made by BunneIl,
Bustavia & Co.. who wasered N5oo on the
Reliance against 1900 with T. Tucker on
the series Harris. Gates Z Co. bet A. c.
Gwynne $3.50 against $500 that the shamrocs
would win.
Fred H Brooks put out H.po against n
200 in three bets, laying e. 900 to q co. Loo
to 500 and 800 to 500 on the defender.
Ladenburx, Thalman & Co. placed in sev-
eral bets s.. 500 against 5000 that the SHAM
rock would win. 1t was said that the bet
ting by these bankers was in the nature Of
a hedge for clients who had q big wager

Attorney General Crow then presented the
following instruction which Judge Tim

'.The court instructs the jury that in de-
termining as to the guilt or innocence OF
the defendant you should take into account
the testimony in relation to his character.
and should give such testimony such weight
as you deem proper; but, II from all the
evidence. you are satisned; beyond @ = rea-

testifying in his own behalf and the inter-
est he has at stake in this cause, may be
considered by the jury in determining the
cerdibllity of his testimony.
IF you have reasonable doubt of de-
fendafits guilt, you should acquit, but a
doubt, to authorize an acquittal. on that
ground, ought to be substantial doubt

Warren Upham, secretary of the

this morning for the Pacific coast for
the purpose of taking his annual va
cation and also to observe at such So
cieties as he shall visit the best meth
DDS of fitting rooms and displaying

of great use and benefit to the local
society when moving into the new cap

said Mr.. Upham, where they have an
excellent society and one doing good
work. There 1 expect to secure much
valuable information, and then I shall
go to the coast and visit Seattle and
Olympia. Twenty miles from the for
mer place is the SnoQualmie cataract,
and I understand that, although it is
possessed of many wonderful features,
this waterfall has never been written
up. 1t is 30 feet high, and I shall
spend two days there. Recently an
electric plant, similar to the one at
Niagara, and costing $1,0OO,00O, was
finished, and will furnish electric pow

cities.
Returning, shall come by the way

Approves Contract to Pave jackson.
Another matter considered and final
ly passed upon by the assembly com
mittee on streets yesterday was the
contract for the paving of Jackson
street with asphalt The committee,
after some explanation by City Engi-
neer Rundlett, voted to report favor
ably upon the proposition to confirm
the contract. When the approval of the
Jackson street contract came before
the assembly at 2 the last meeting of
that body Assemblyman Arnold sue
ceeded in having it held up on the
ground that the price, $2.08 per square
yard was too high. Assemblyman Ar
mold could not understand why the
same company had bid $1.88 for the
University avenue paving and later
$2.O8 for the same kind of paving on
Jackson street.
City. Engineer Rundlett informed the
committee yesterday that the price Of
$2.08 per yard for Jackson street was
the result of an error made in the office
of the board of public works. A care
full investigation of the ;company's bid
showed that the paving would cost but
$2.01, instead of sos. 80
Mr. Rundlett said the paving of Jack
son street would cost more than that
of University avenue because the Jack
son street contract was for but a small
piece of work.
With this explanation the committee
voted to return thecontract to the as

Minnesota for over forty years, promi-
nent in politics, highly honored in the
legal profession of the state, and at one
time represented the old Third district
in congress.
For some time he had been complain
ing of i'll health, and 1t is supposed
that it was the result of street car
accident of which he was a victim last
December. Judge Macdonald was rid
ing on cable car when it left the track
and struck some object, throwing
Judge Macdonald against the stove and
injuring his left side. For some weeks
he had been complaining of pains
about his heart, but the end came
quickly.
Judge Macdonald was born in Glas-
gov, Scotland, in 1888, and with his
parents moved early to Nova Scotia.
Shortly after the family removed to
Pittsburg, Pa, where the judge receiv-
ed his education. Later he came West
to Belle PLANE, Mimi, and after study
ing law there was admitted to the bar
in 1859. He later became judge of pro-
bate. and from 1871 to 1876 he served
as state senator. He was also a mem
Der of the house of representatives for
some years. In 1875 he was elected
mayor of Shakopee. The following year
he was elected judge Of the Eighth jul
dicial district of Minnesota. and later
served as congressman. In 1888 he re-
moved to st. Paul, but for the past six
or seven years has resided in Kansas
City, Mo-, where he has practiced law.
He is survived by his wife and the
following sons and daughters: Mrs.

MRS. HANS BJERRE
1922 Madison Ave-, New York City,
Writes of the Virtues OF
Cuticura.

"To-day am thankful to say my
boys are hearty and strong as any chill
dren in the city, but had my fair share
of care and work when they were
babies. An infants skin is so delicate
and fine that the least thing will hurt it.
For chatting, for all eruptions and out
breaks on the skin, for roughness and
chapping, always used Cuticura.
eff my boys all passed through baby
hood without any serious or alarming
skin trouble, I attribute that circum-
stance to the prompt and free use OF
Cuticura when the first sign of disease
appeared. Ishould add that we always
used Cuticura Soap in bathing the chill
dren. 1t seems to get all the impuri-
ties out Of the skin, and If there Is
single ingredient in it that can possibly
do harm, have never found trace OF
it. Sometimes l read in papers or
babies who have been allowed to suffer
a long time with terrible disease be-
fore their mothers started to use Cuti-
cura. I think such cases as strange as
they are sad for by this time everybody
ought to know about Cuticura and
nobody ought to wait for weeks and
even months to pass before resorting to
this remedy.
81 wish every mother in the world
could learn what splendid thing Cuti-
cura is. Then we should have vastly
fewer sick, disf9ured babies and vastly
fewer parents tortured with anxiety"

COUNTY WILL NEED
s41s,2S3 IN 1904
Commissioners Hold Annual
Meeting and Consider the
Budget-Asks Board to Com
pei His Sons to Support Him.

At the annual meeting of the board
of county commissioners yesterday
County Auditor Krahmer submitted to
the board preliminary draft of the
county budget Of expenses for the year
1904.
The aggregate amount of the budget
presented by the county auditor is
$419,2S3, and 1t is estimated that this
amount will leave s66,72S on hand at
the end of the year. The budget, if ac-
copied by the board as made up, will
mean a reduction in the tax levy of 1
mill, or a total levy for county ex-
penses of ATS mills.
The commissioners will meet again
Friday to farther consider the budget,
at which time the different items will
be taken up one at time. The esti-
mates for the budget, as prepared by
the county auditor, are as follows:

.ANTI-OLEO LAWS LESSEN
THE VALUE OF CATTLE
Packers Now Compelled to Make TaIow
Out of Beef Suet.

Federal legislation and restrictions by
many states regarding the manufacture
of oleomargarine have so lessened the
productive value of beef suet that the
packers are compelled to make from
this produce tallow which is worth per-
haps 51a to cents per pound, instead of
cleo OIL worth considerably more" said
South st. Paul stock man yesterday
- "Oleo oil, as is well known, is an abso-
lutely pure animal produce made from
prime beef suet and is used in the man
ufacture of oleomargarine. Before the
restrictive measures were taken, oleo oil
sold at 10 and IL cents per pound.
beef suet, the cattle sold by the produc-
ers in the live stock markets of the coun-
try are worth from 81 to S. per head less
than they were worth prior to the enact
ment of laws against oleomargarine."

car as it was rounding into the stopping

The driver and the mules escaped in
