Yes, it is certainly time that
Bro. Stratton stops the yellow
trash he has been sending out to
daily papers. For some months
past the town and county have
had a very undesirable notoriety
and state papers have ridiculed
this community and the cores
ponpent. The citizens OF Miller
have patiently stood 1T, but are
now becoming very much Gis-
gusted. True, the dailies bid for
the sensational items; and pay
for them, but exaggerated stor-
les, intilnations, 'imaginings are
a detriment to the locality, as
evidenced by the correspondence
OF land men, and inquiries made
of our citizens whenever they
visit other places. Nearly all
towns have this experience at
some time, aud the Press sin
cerely hopes this community has
had it's share.

Women are strong women, and
woman's strength is only another

women did but understand the
intimate relation between the gen.

to the cheek, the lustre to the eye,
the plumpness to the body until
the womanly disease is cured.

He would run an occasional good race,
but it would apparently take all the

the once noted Billy Mack, famous here
eight years ago. and probably the best

His former owner and trainer. John

Wilkes. another animal from the Davis

talking to a crowd Of the old racing
men tonight when the Caskets story
came UP. He gave an interesting ac-
count of the adventures and career Of
the famous horse.
Billy Mack was foaled in 1883. dam

~ Mack was used as a farm horse. when
Mr.. Davis was impressed with his fine
form and began to train him for the
track. He gave his personal a-tei~ion TO
the training of the colt, and the fret
mile he ever timed him was 30
Mr.. Davis entered him in the Indiana
circuit in 1897. and the horse won eleven
races in thirteen starts. In 1898 SIr.
Davis put him up at the Luckey sales
at Cambridge City, and he was bought
by Mike Rairidan. of Indianapolis for
$500. Mr. Rairidan entered him IN a
stake race at New York and cleared Up
over $4,000 in bets on the race. The
hard season in Indiana and the New
York effort ruined the horse for further
racing. and he passed into the hands
of gypsies and disappeared.
He next turned UP In Ohio, where he
was entered as a green horse and Sic
ceeded in winning three races before the
deception was discovered Once more
he disappeared. and Mr.. Davis supposed
the animal dead until the publication OF

When Mike works he never dra VS. his

for what Is coming 10 him. Perhaps a

Without doubt Mike has made more
