Louisville. Ky, May 5.-Stoney
Montgomery, president of the New
Memphis Jockey club. stopped off at
Louisville on his return south from
the Western Jockey club meeting at
Chicago. Mr.. Montgomery refused to
make any statement regarding the re-
ported sale of a block of the New
Memphis Jockey club stock to Capt.
S. S. Brown. 1T will make no state
ment whatever regarding the New
Memphis Jockey clubs business, and
Will not be interviewed on the mat
ter. I Will neither affirm nor deny
anything concerning the Memphis
club"
From the tone of Mr.. Montgomery
talk it would be inferred that some
thing is on the tapis at the Bluff City.
Frank Jones, vice president of the
New Memphis Jockey club, has re-
turned to Memphis.
Like Mr.. Montgomery, Capt. S. S.
Brown refuses to make any statement
regarding the sale of the Memphis
Jockey club stock. From an outside
source it is learned, however, that a
scheme is on foot to consolidate the
interests Of those who control Billings
park and Montgomery park. Frank
Jones' who is Billings right-hand
man. has strong leaning towards the
thorough breds and is anxious to give
a fall meeting for the runners at Bill
HngS' park 1t is said that in the
event Of the deal not going through
that Jones will withdraw from the
New Memphis Jockey club and give
an opposition meeting at Billings park
next spring. The latter track was
constructed at a great expense and
has been a losing venture since it
was built.

Plain Common Sense.

When man has ten minutes to eat
o meal and catch the train a lecture
or how and what to eat and what tina
60 devote to the MEALS not just the thing.
When a woman has stood around over
q hot stove preparing a meal and in
hslinE the fumes from boiling kettles
and frying pans, a lecture telling her
how she must eat this or that is not
tsngible. She can't eat; she is not hungry.
When visiting with a friend or relative
and being obliged from policy OF
diplomacy to eat what is set before you,
the rules of what and how much to eat
become untenable. When delayed by
work, business or elements of the weather.
till you are nearly famished and could
not get a bite to eat though you pay
double the price, these lectures and di-
rectiors on food and its masticadon
become so inconsistent as to be OBJ
noxious. It has been left for DR..
Caldwel's (Laxative) Syrup PePsin to
fill the long felt want and il is the medium
by which (if You take II according to d.
rections) you may defy the laws and
disregard the warnings of lecturing
philosophers about your eating
Eat what you want if you can get il
and all you want as quickly as you have

CORPORATION Not to Buy the Soden
Mil Dam for $4,000.

The city council last night voted to
turn down the proposition of w. I.
Soden to purchase his mill dam and
Cottonwood river rights for $4,000
This was done after City Attorney j.
Harvey Firth read his opinion on the
legality of the purchase. Mr.. Frith's
opinion as read by the clerk was as
follows:
ITO the Mayor and Councilmen of the
City of Emporia:
Gentlemen: As directed by you 1
have investigated the matter of the
water rights on the Cottonwood river.
proposed to be conveyed to the city
by w. T. Soden, and find Mr.. Soden
has substantial and valuable rights
which can be transferred to the city,
but they are not of such a character
that it can be said, as a matter of law,
that in case the city acquired them
and diverted the water from the river,
all proba bility OF suits for damages,
against which the city could not sue
cessfully defend. would be precluded.
Respectfully,
~ HARVEY FIRTH"
IN plain English. the opinion is that
Mr.. Soden is privileged to sell his wa
ter rights to the city, but that the city
would have a lot of law suits for dam
ages on its hands, which would result
in the city paying damages to land
owners along the Cottonwood.-En-

CLAY CENTER's EXPERIENCE.
What 1t Has Done in Its Owning
WaterWOrlSS.

Abilene, Kas, May 5.-The city
water commissioner of Clay Center
informs its friends that waterworks
ownership in that city has been very
satisfactory The report for the last
fiscal year is not complete, but for the
year preceding the income was $3,-
SIS. The expenses, including extern
sive additions, salaries, coal, etc, were
$3.024 The receipts this year Will
be over $4,000. The city bought the
plant several years ago for $40, 800,
issuing $4,000 6 per cent bonds. 1t
has added several thousand feet of
two-inch pipes in the suburbs, all paid
for out of the profits of the plant.
The city has 40 double fire hydrants.
for which it used. to pay 500 each a
year, or $4,000.
This is practically saved each year,
and as the plant is being extended
the profits increase annually.
