President Ijams. of the American Trot-
of the American Trotting Register
Association settled two important
questions, which have been agitating
horsemen long time.
| The record of 2:0SA made by Maud
S. at Cleveland in 1855. was declared
| to be the best mark for high wheel
sulkey. and Lou Dillon's mile in e:05,
made to high wheel sulky in Cleve-
land last summer. was not recognized.
| Trotting records made with running
horses In front or with dirt shields"

be legal, but distinguishing mark

registry book. Wind shield" records
were ruled out. The full test of the
| decision follows:
| I'VE, find the performance of Lou

1908. to high wheel, bail-bearing sui

In the discussion before the turf
Judges the point OF contention was
whether Lou Dillon started to beat
Maud SIS record under the same con-
ditions or simply to beat 2;0sA to
high wheel sulky, which Lou Dillon ac-
complished. Robert Edwin Bonner sup
ported his protest against creditins
Lou Dillon with the record of 2:05. He
said he understood the mare started to
beat Maud SIS 2:0SA to an old fash
toned high wheel sulky. Bonner claims
ed Maud SIS sulky with plain Or
binary axle was still in the barn At
Tarrytown, and pointed out the fact
that Lou Dillon was helped by a run
ner in front and another one at her
side.
Charles S. ("Doc'D Tanner of Cleve-
land who represented G.. X. G. Bill
ings. the owner of Lou Dillon, said the
trotting queen started to lower Maui

admitted Lou Dillons sulky was fitted
with ball bearings. He further said |
Maud SIS sulky had roller bearings |
and that the mare was assisted in her |
by two runners, but Meth |
er preceded her. One of the pace
makers was under saddle, and the |
statement surprised Bonner. |

One of the worst railroad ac- cidents that ever happened in this country occurred last Sun- day night at Eden, a small sta tion near Pueblo Colo. A Mis- souri Pacific passenger train, south bound and running at a high rate of speed ill crossing a bridge over a turbulent stream, the structure gave way precipi- tating the engine, mail and ex- press cars and two coaches filled with passengers into the stream. The fireman of the engine and two passengers were all who es- capped from that portion of the train which went down; and in all probability the dining and pullman cars would have dropp-
  ed in also had it not been for the porter, who was standing at the end of the car when the crash came he set the hand brake and succeeded in getting them stopp- ed but not before a portion of the dining car was hanging over the brink of the chasm.
 While it is impossible to esti- mate the exact number killed it is thought to be considerable over 100 as that number of bod ies have been recovered.

Northern Ar1ZOna N0rmdi SCHOOL.
 The fall term of this institution will open Sept. 13, 1904, and the outlook for a large increase in attendance IS most fattering. There are two terms of twenty weeks each, devoted to a well balanced course of study which prepare the graduates for their first years work in college. The Course embraces four years of Latin and two of Spanish, which enables those who take the Span- ish to speak it well.
 The climate of Flagstaff is not equaled within the jurisdic. tion of the United States for men, tai exertion. Any student who wishes to accomplish the most work in the shortest time can not ignore this fact.
 The equipment of the Northern Arizona Normal School IS second to none in the southwest. The Reference Library, especially, is most complete and usable. The Chemical and Physical Labrator- ies are supplied with every con- venience for class room and indi- vidual note book work. The same may be said of each indi- vidual department of the institu- ton.
 The facilities offered for higher education in the Territory ofAri- zona are equal to those in any part of our country, and justly deserve the support of her sons and daughters.
 The dormitory facilities are vesy satisfactory, and those in attendance secure half rates on the railroads On the ce1xihcate plan.

If j. r. Burton be nominated by the
Republicans for the high Office of United
States senator, a protest will go up
from the masses of the Republicans of
Kansas that will shake the Republican
party to its foundations. The nearness
of the prospect of such fatal bIunder
has awakened scores of legislators to
their duty.
Mr.. Buttons candidacy is today no
longer a burlesque possibility on the
party which says it means to stand for
clean records, different methods, for
true reform. 1t is serious condition
Will the Republicans be equal to the
emergency? VIII the members of the
legislature make an ignoble nomination,
will they manfully present the right
man? A tremendous sense of the i'm
propriety of such nomination exists
on every hand.
1t is not disguised. 1t is outspoken.
Do the Republicans mean to endear
themselves to the rank and file and
true representatives of the party, or
do they mean to stultify themselves
and misrepresent their constituents?
VIII they invite political ruin, or will
they build anew on better, stronger
foundations the party which a few
years ago dropped from the pinnacle
of the greatest state majority ever
given-and slipped and fell because the
leaders of the party Disguised voters
The time of all times when Kansas
Republicans are now. again put into
the balance to be weighed, is to nonli-
nate clean, able man of high char
acter.
Mr.. Burton's past record is not one
which can be pointed to with pride
His reputation in connection with his
political and public career is one which
does not entitle him to the greatest
honor a state can give a citizen.
It is proposed to send him to Wash
ington as a typical Republican Kan
san.
The situation requires a determined
powerful union of all the forces against
Mr.. Burton. He has apparently shown
his full strength. Such a purpose
periodically, unselhshly, unitedly de-
cided upon can result in some man for
United States senator of whom the
state may be proud. That man is J.
