b. Fogg of South Paris has several
valuable horses on hand. He still owns
the Chimes mare of which We have made
mention several times. This mare is
bred on her dams side precisely the
same as are American Law and Decorate
on their maternal side. As she is fine
individual it is plain to be seen that she
would make a great brood mare. Mr..
Fogg runs two stables as of yore, but
will doubtless find time to. take out a
race horse or two when the season opens,
and he will doubtless meet his usual
good fortune on the home stretch.-Turf,

going. Mr.. Cummings has been using
him on the road quite little the past

not vet decided just what he will cam

but that he will have two or three In the

Mr.. r. l.. Cummings of South Paris,
a close observer of current events, where
the good horse figures, sees great de-
crease in the demand for the heavy har-
ness horse within the next few years,
and he attributes it TO the very general
use of the automobiles, and other ma
chimes of that class. He says that the
horseless vehicles have not affected the
light harness horse, for no machine ever
manufactured can compete with them,
but that it is very evident that they rub
the coach horse trade hard. If this is so,
and it certainly seems plausible, the
breeder of the festive light harness horse
is all right.

Mr.. II. G. Fletcher, the South Paris
driver and trainer, has some speed
coming, if he has not traded it off. He
has purchased the Kremlin mare Athena,
from James Haley of Cornish. This
mare has just weaned six months old
colt by Alcyonium 2:24t, and Mr.. j. +.
Howland OF Mountain View Farm, is so
pleased with the general appearance OF
the mare that he has made Mr.. Fletcher
a very fiattering offer for her, wishing
to breed her this season to American
Law. The mare is good gated and is
coming to her speed fast, and she will
doubtless be worked at the track this
season if not campaigned, whoever owns
her.

The Oxford county people are trying
to decide upon dates for their annual
fair. 1t will be held either on the sec
ond or third week in September. The
trustees are revising the premium list
and will offer Sl400 in racing purses this
season-SlOO more than last year. They
will make an innovation in giving two
straight trotting purses of 500 each, foi
> 40 and 2:27 classes. This, it is hoped,
will pave the way to a total abandon
ment of mixed races in the very neal
future, at this fair.

spent several days very pleasantly look
ING over his stock and riding behind the

Boston who is having great sport with
her on the speedway these good days.
She is seven years old and out of Nettie
Waite 2:39 by Records Black Hawk.
Mollie is lofty gated mare and it is
expected that she will prove fast enough
to be campaigned another season. MIR.
G.. I. Witherell, Maine trainer of re-
pute, is Mr.. Freeman driver. Mr.. How
land is greatly pleased with the bright
prospects ahead for American Law, his
great young stallion. Mr.. Fletcher who
drove this horse last season says he is
the most consistent race horse, all things
considered, he ever drew rein over.
He showed well in his races last season
but was not allowed to take a record.
In the hands of careful professional
trainer this horse will take a low mark
this season in Mr.. Fletcher's opinion.

Union Meetings Attract Many People
at Baptist Place of Worship.

The union meetings of the Baptist
churches of the city at the First Baptist
church continue in progress with I'M
abated interest. Last night the house
was crowded to it's utmost capacity and
the audience gave undivided attention
to the message of the evangelist. This
he considered the most important of his
messages in the entire meetings. The
subject was "Forgiving That We May Be
Forgiven" Our forgiving others is nee
essary to Gods forgiving us. One OF the
hardest things to do is to attempt to
owe the Lord and hate your brother at
the same time. Love is the greatest
thing in the world. We must love others
if We would have Gods love-
AT the close of the sermon a large num-
Der went forward and asked for prayer.
But four more services in this series

tonight at 7:50 on a very practical SUBJ
ject.
After the service tomorrow night he
starts fer Newark, n. j., where he be-
gins a meeting next Sunday morning and
he has to leave here Thursday night to
reach his destination on time.

MALEk WILL APPEAR
HERE At THE T0LER
Contract Is Closed for Piano
Recital.
BY BOHEMIAN MUSICIAN
Date of Concert Is Set for
February II.

Miss Jessie L. Clark and I. w. Gill yes
ager, Charles r. Baker of Chicago, for a
piano recital by the famous Bohemian
pianist Ottokar Malek. TO be given under
the auspices of the Central Christian
church al the Toler Auditorium Febru-
airy II.
So far as known Topeka and Wichita
are the only two cities in Kansas which
will have the opportunity Of hearing this
well known and celebrated musician.
1t is claimed by many that Malek is
the peer of any who have visited America
and that his triumphs in his own country
outshine those Of any Bohemian pianist
and rival those of Jan Kubelik. Malek,
however, is too modest to make these
boasts himself, even though in possession
Of his American managers are the criti-
cisms of the exacting musical writers of
Prague and other famous musical CEN
tiers, and in the programs, in which he is
starred the names of Kubelik and other
noted artists appear in small type.
Ottokar Malek is q years Of age and
OtSdH DldtlDR the pldHu dt the age VI d
His unusual talent was encouraged. He
studied under the best masters-Lesche-
tizky, Grunfeld and others, and soon be-
came known as a musician of wonderful
ability. At his first appearance in vi
emma it is written that he fairly baffled
the audience, accustomed to the greatest
artists. At Moscow, Russia, where he
appeared in concert assisted by Kubelik,
his success was meteor like and he arous-
ed tremendous public attention as a most
wonderful master of his instrument. Ma
lex has in his possession a. violin given
him by his father-an instrument for
which he has since refused the generous
sum of $1,000 This violin is said to have
been loaned Kubelik when the LITTER
made his debut.
Malek has a most remarkable pair OF
hands whose reach and dexterity bid fair
to outrival those of the worlds greatest
masters, and he shrinks from no technical
difficulties. Some years ago such asser-
lions would have been viewed with skep-
ticism. but in the light of what Bohemia
has done recently by way Of producing
artists, the critics of Prague, Moscow,
Warsaw, Bucharest and other important
points where Malez has appeared, de-
mand the most respectful attention. He
has played with immense success as a
soloist with The celebrated Bohemian
String Quartette-the most famous of its
time-comprising Carl Hoffman, Oscar
Eedbal Hans William and Joseph Suk, the
latter the eminent composer.
The proceeds of the recital above all
expenses will go to the pipe organ fund
of the Christian church.

NEW LINE PROGRESSES.
Midland Valley viii Run From WITCH.
tia to Indian Territory.

According TO 4 special dispatch from
Guthrie to the Daily Oklahoman the work
of installing the Midland Valley rail-
road between Wichita and the Indian
territory coal fields, is progressing rapid
ly.
The Oklahoman says
The sale of the Muskogee Southern
railroad property and interests to the
Midland Valley company is considered
one of the most important railroad mat
ters in recent years in the southwest,
and the most important of the new year.
1t means a direct line between Little
Rock, Ark, the eastern terminus, and
Muskogee, /. T, with a western extens-
cion, as provided in the original char
ter, to Guthrie, and a northwestern
through the Usage nation country to
Wichita, Kan.
The sale of the road was consummated
during the past week in Philadelphia, the
conference being attended by William
Kenefick, president of the Kenefick Con-
struction company, which has the con-
tract to build the Muskosee Southern.
The officials of this company, are work
ing night and day rushing in material
for the rapid construction of the line to
Little Rock
The Muskogee Southern was incorporat-
ed under the laws of Oklahoma several
months ago, with Guthrie as the west
ern terminus and it has been looked
upon here as Santa Fe project. About
the middle of last december the COM
pany filed a first mortgage here the
holders being the Illinois Trust and saw
ings bank in the sum of s., 100000 of which
81. 100000 was to be held in reserve until
the completion of the road, to be used
in building the extension and in other
wise. improving the company's property
The mortgage becomes due on Novem-
Der l, 1915.
The road as planned by President Sea-
man and Secretary j. c. Dufn of the
Muskogee Southern, in addition to the
direct line between Muskogee and Guih
rie is meant to DE a short line between
Wichita, Kansas, and the Indian terri
tory coal fields, a project long in mind
by the people Of Winfield, Wichita. Ar
kansas City, and other Kansas cities.
Since the prospects for the opening of
a fine oil and gas field in the Usage
nation, the value of such a road has
been greatly enhanced as the money has
been secured it is expected that work
will begin in the near future. The es-
timated length IS 200 miles and the cost
an average of $4,000 per mile.
A railroad from Weatherford. o. T..
northwest has been talked of since the
Choctaw built west, two years ago. from
Ell Reno. The Choctaw had under con-
temptation the building of such a line
from Weatherford, and had the sale of
the Choctaw to the Rock Island not oc-
