a silent betting ring a total absence
OF open wagers, swarms of police on the
alert and few minor bookmakers TAX
ing bets from personal friends without
even an entry in note book-those were
the conditions under which the Derby
was run in Chicago Saturday afternoon,
The Derby crowd in it's proportions
was visibly affected by the lack Of bet
ting. While there were nearly 10000
people at the track when the Derby field
went to the post, it was nothing like the
crowds which attended last year.
Half an hour before the first race the
grand stand was packed to its full ca
pacity. The infield and clubhouse had
as big crowds as ever and there was no
perceptible diminution in the number of
vehicles in the big infeld. While it was
nothing like $4,000 crowd, still it filed
the place pretty thoroughly and left room
to move about with some comfort.
The appearance of the Derby colts
sent the crowds into frenzies Of delight.
Each horse received some applause, but
most of the eyes were on the hope of
the Cook stable, the great English Lad.
The stand was filled with a GREATNESS
audience, every eye fixed on the horses.
Time and time again they lined back
up and were called back They lined
up again and started for the barrier. Up
it flew.
They're off, The cry rang out like
one voice and the great American Derby
was ON.
Proceeds, with Halgeson up, leaped to
the front as the barrier flashed I'D after
the long wait at the post. In close pur-
suit was Rapid Water, and behind him
came Volney at $50 to /. English Lad
was off fourth in commanding position,
while Highball, shut off, was leading the
rear division.
Turning into the stretch, Proceeds was
still making the running, Halgeson evil
IDENTIFY trying to run the head off the field,
but Highball laying near the rails, per-
fectly ridden by Fuller was trailing Pro-
ceeds, evidently without effort
Highba1I to Front.
Behind him Rapid Water and Fort
Hunter and Moharib were fighting it out,
Woodson was next, preparing to make
his run. Right there Highball made his
run coming on with a rush.
Apparently without effort he ran over
the firing Proceeds, now beaten. Wood
son was coming like shot and ran into
second place.
Rapid Water. refusing to be shaken
off, was still third. And they finished
In that order Highball winning by a
length and Woodson two lengths ahead
of Rapid Water three-quarters Of a
length ahead of English Lad. And thus
for another time in his history Of the
race, the East had captured the first
prize Of the western turf.

WAR DURING WEEK.
ACTIVITY OF COMBATANTs ON
SEA AND LAND.
Russian V1adivostok Fleet Sinks Jap
anese Transports, While the Mikado's
Land Army Wins Victories in the
Vicinity of Vafangow.

When the Bogatyr, $3.50 tons, went
on the rocks month ago the Russian
squadron in Vladivostok was reduced
to three armored cruisers, the Rossia,
1870 tons, 20 knots speed, with four
S-inch, sixteen 6-inch, twelve S-inch
guns; the Gromoboi, 1886 tons, 20
knots speed, carrying four 8-inch, six
teen 6-inch, six 4.7-inch, and twenty
3-inch guns, and the Rurik, 1923 tons,
1871 knots, with main battery of four
8-inch, sixteen 6-inch, six 47-inch
rifles. The three made up q formid-
able aggregation of warships, combin-
Ing as they did speed, greater armor-
ed protection than any except first
class battleships, and large batteries
of medium size guns.
The three big ships crept out of Via
divostok, presumably at night, when
they would be less liable to observa-
ton. By dawn they were 100 miles
out to sea and heading south for the
Korean straits, which all japanese
ships carrying stores for the armies
in the field must cross
Wednesday morning, June Is, at Z
a. M, off Xxi Island, the Rossia and
the Rurik came upon the transport

Our Food Fishes.

The total catch Of food-fishes in the
United States and Alaska, as shown
by the last canvass, was 1,733, 314 ,324
pounds, valued at 1881, 165. The
number of men employed was 214,056
and the capital invested was $72,261,-
GAG. The salmon pack Of Puget Sound
alone in 1901 exceeded $4,500,0OO, an
amount more than four times as great
as the entire silver output Of the
whole region drained by the Column
bia river. The salmon output Of
Alaska for 1903 is valued at $10,000,-
coo, which exceeds by more than ST.
10000 the amount which Alaska cost
us; and if we add to the salmon the
value Of cod, halibut, and other fish
cries of Alaska, the total greatly ex-

AT THE SIDE OF LABOR UNIONS.
Farmers Will March in Great Texas
Labor Day Parade.


In Fort Worth, Texas, on next Labor
day members Of twenty-eight farmers
unions will march in the Labor day pa
rade, side by side with the members Of
the trades unions. Speaking of this CO.
operation of the farmers unions with
the trades unions, State Secretary @. w.
Woodman, of the American Federation OF
Labor, declared it the most significant
in the history of the labor movement in
the Southwest.
"Going hand in hand, the producers
and the workers." says he, will be able
to fight the trusts at both ends CONNER
cially, while with the added support OF
the 10000 farmers organized in the
State we attain a greater political in
fuence and strength. We do not mix
partisan politics with unions, but we 90
go into politics to the extent that we
do not vote for man who makes our
interests subservient to those OF the
trusts. At the formation of the county
organization for this county it was unan-
imously decided by the farmers TO estab-
Iish a system Of fraternal delegates
with our central body in order that both
organizations may keep thoroughly IN
touch with each other. Realizing that
our interests are identical in opposition
to the abnormal growth of the trusts, we
intend to see that the fraternai dele
gates keep us thoroughly acquainted WIN
one another's needs, and with our COM
bined strength we will enter upon new
era of progress. Some plan of co-opera-
ton between the State bodies is expect
ed to be adopted at the coming meeting
Of the farmers State convention winch
will meet In Fort Worth Aug. l.

New Kansas City-st. louis Line.

The st. Louis, Kansas City and
Colorado Railroad is completed and
open for both freight and passenger
traffic between ST. Louis and Kansas
City.
In the construction Of the St Louis,
Kansas City and Colorado Railroad,
the Rock Island system, of which it Is
part, has established a new record,
for not only was the line finished in
six months less time than was con-
sidered possible, but what is even
more important, it was built in a way
that reflects credit on all concerned.
The claim is made that the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Colorado Railroad
will be recognized as superior to any
other railroad between ST. Louis and
Kansas City. Never before has so per-
feet piece of new track been built.
The rails weigh so pounds to the
yard; the bridges are of steel; the Gull
verts are of stone; the track is splen-
didly ballasted. Everything has been
built to last, and although for a con-
siderable portion of it's length the line
runs through a country which Is more
or less broken, the grades are less
than those Of any other railroad con-
Meeting st. Louis and Kansas City.
One feature of the new line which
will appeal to the travelling public is
that all trains, both east and west
bound, will stop at t11>e main entrance
of the Worlds Fair, enabliae passen-
gers from all points west Of anu ~
Guiding Kansas City to reach the Ex-
position grounds without change Of
cars or tedious transfers in st. Louis.
Two trains day will be operated
in both directions between ST. Louis
and Kansas City, and through sleep
ing car service will be established be-
tween st. Louis and California via Ell
Paso, as also between St. Louis and
Colorado. This service will be in
creased and extended as necessity de-

A prominent physician of Rome,
Georgia, went through food expert
ence which he makes public:
at was my own experience that first
led me to advocate GrapeNuts food,
and I also know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food Is wonder
full rebuilder and restorer of nerve ana
brain tissue. as we'll as muscle. 1t I'M
proyes the digestion, and sick patients

had to give up my work entirely ana
eo to the mountains Of this State, but
two months there did not improve me;
in fact / was not quite as well as
when l left home. My food absolutely
refused to sustain me, and 1t became
nlain that must change; then | began
to use GrapeNuts food and in two
weeks | could walk a mile Wlthout
the least fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice, tax
ing I'D hard work again. Since that
time I have felt as well and strong as
I ever did in my life.

Campaign on Land.

On land there was considerable
battle, which began in the nelghbor-
hood of Vafangow, on the railroad,
sixty miles north of Kinchou ana
Nanshan hill. On the afternoon OF
Tuesday, June IA, at 1:40 O'Clock, the
fighting began and continued uhui
dark, the japanese pushing the Kus-
slams back for some miles. After the
cessation of firing, under cover of dark
ness, a Japanese column occupied fu-
chau, fanking the Russian right.
In the morning the fighting started
again The Russian general, Baron
StackeIberg, tried to turn the Japa-
nese right flank, but at the same time
the brigade which had been sent TO
Fuchau during the night struck ann
on his right and crumpled him up. AT
the same time the main japanese booy'
marching up the railroad, struck mn
in the center, and he was forced 10
retreat to the northward. Inc Japa-
nese captured fourteen quick nrlhs
guns and 800 prisoners. The total
Russian losses are about 2,ooo' "hile
the JaDs acknowledge only LOO casu-
alties. AS at the crossing OF the halu
and Nanshan hill, the fate or the Jay
was largely determined by the Won
derful Japanese artillery pracuce. III
the yafangow engagement the num-
bers engaged were about 3o,ooo NUS

Russians signaled the transport to
stop, which it did At 10 o'clock, how
ever, the Japs tried to run for it, but
were fired upon by the two cruisers
and sunk. Most of its crew and hui
man freight went down with it. The
survivors, numbering about 20 per
cent, by clinging to the wreckage,
managed to reach some of the little
islands in the straits of Korea.
Later on the same day the Russians
came upon the transport Sado, which
was also loaded with 700 men. After
some parleying this boat, too, was
shelIed and torpedoed. most of its pas
sengers and crew being killed. The
hull, however, remained afioat and
finally grounded on the east coast Of
Oki- Tor Iki0 Island.
1t does not appear whether the Sado
was sunk by the Gromoboi alone,
which was not present during the at
tack on the Hitachi, or whether the
whole fleet reunited and destroyed the
Sado. OF the 1 400 Japanese soldiers
on the two transports 900 were killed.
Their raid having been successful,
the Russians decided to return home
again, but they evidently did not wish
to risk the straight passage from 10
rean straits to Vladivostok, choosing
instead to make an easterly detour
along the coast line Of Nippon. Doubt
less the Russians hoped to fall in with
a few stray merchantmen on their
tourney

The calamity to the battleship Mis-
souri, from nn explosion at the breech
OF a Finch gun is not unique. Eight
cen months ago, while the Russian bat
tleship Sisso Veliky was firing her for
ward pair OF 12-inch guns there was a
terrific explosion which killed every
man In the turret and completely
wrecked 1t. The massive top OF the tur-
ret was blown bodily into he air, y
half OF II, falling backward upon the
deck, killed twenty-eight men, who
were standing there I'm a group. About
six months later there was an explosion
during target practice In one of the
turrets of the 12-inch guns OF the Brit
ish battieship Mars. which resulted In
great loss Of life. Then followed the
fatal explosion In n OF the S-inch gun
turrets OF our battleship Massachu-
sets. In each case IL was impossible
to determine definitely what was the
cause OF the explosion.

The Primitive Book.

Henry Smith Williams. LID. in Har-
per's Magazine for May: The Oldest books
in existence are. doubtless. those OF the
B~abylonions; but the great permaneney
OF these Is explained by the material Of
which they are composed. and It does not
necessarily follow thai they were the first
books TO be made. We know that the
Egyptians employed a papyrus roll from
the earliest historical periods, and that
the Hindoos made their palm leaf books
at a very early day. In short. every CIV
lined nation In discovered. at the very
dawn OF It's history. In full possession OF
a system OF book making.

as 10 whether one nation borrowed from
another In developing the idea of book
making.
Limiting our View strictly to the historic
period. we find. as has been said, the five
types Of books ia general use. We have
now to consider briefly the distinguishing
characteristics OF each OF these types be-
fore noting the steps OF development
through which the modern book was
evolved. First let us give attention TO
the papyru roll of the Egyptians. AS has
been said, this type OF book was employed

the papyrus plant placed together to form
two thin layers. the fibers OF one crossing
those of the other, and the whole made
into a thin, Arm sheet with the aid OF
glue and mechanical pressure. The strips
OF papyrus were usually from eight 10

have been expected, for the insertion OF q
single continuous column OF writing. A
moments consideration will make II clear
that such a method would ave created
difficulties both for the scribe and for the
reader; therefore the much more con-
venient method was adopted OF writing
lines a few inches IN length. so placed as
TO form transverse columns. which fol-
lowed one another In regular sequence
from the beginning to the end of the
