AUTOMOBILE KILLS TWO
Fair Grounds With Fatal
Results.

St. Louis, Aug. 29.-Blinded by the
dust of his opponents machine, Barney
Oldfeld, professional racing chauffeur,
drove his automobile at a 60-mile-an-
hour rate through the fence at the Fair
grounds track, Sunday afternoon before
$4,000 persons, killing one man, fatally
injuring another, and sustaining slight
injuries himself. His machine was de-
molished. Nathan Montgomery, who
was mortally hurt, died at the city
hospital.
John Scott, a Waterman employed ait
the Fair grounds, with Nathan Mont
gomery, a negro laborer, was standing
at the three-eighths pole, at the turn
of the track, when Oldfield approached,
running at the rate of a mile a min
ute. With his eyes full of dust and
his progress barred by his opponent, A.
G. Webb, Oldfield tried to go to the
outer edge of the track. He ran into
and through the fence, and, knocking
Scott and Montgomery down, ram Is
feet further to a maple tree, where the
machine vas demoliched by the COLI
sion.
Oldfeld was thrown out of the ma
chine into some bushes. He was able
to walk from an automobile to the
club house, where DR.. Z. ]. Neville, of
the Missouri Baptist sanitarium attend
ed him.
Oldfield was conveyed on a stretcher
to an ambulance and sent to the sani-
tarium, where it was said that his con-
dition is not serious. He may be able
to get out in three of four days, if no
complications result from the wounds to
his chest and head, which were cut.
Scott was killed instantly. One of
his limbs was torn from the body, and
the other members were badly NAM
gled. He was taken to the morgue
and his family notified. He was mar
ried, and is survived by a wife and one
son, George, aged Is. Scott had been
employed at the fair grounds track for
four years, and was ait his post as
fence Waterman when he was killed.

ponent, and each shot was followed by
a blow on the Jaw that sent Monroe to
his knees. Jeffries went back to his
corner after the opening round with
a sneer and a laugh On his swarthy
face, while M%onroe's seconds busted
themselves with smelling salts and
r~estoratives. When the two came to-
gether for the second round, the laugh
on the champions visage changed to
a look Of determination that BODIED i'll
TO the LINER.
Forty. five seconds after the gong
ty, with Jeffries standing over him,
ready, if necessary, to put the quietus
on the championship ambitions of his
adversary. The miner was too dazed
to rise to his feet, and timekeepers
counted him out, but the husky man
from Southern California did not I'M
derstand that the victory was already
his, nor could Monroe realize that his
pugilistic star had SO early set, and the
two men in a moment or two were fac
ing n another, and Jeffries landed a
terrific blow on the jaw of his stag
gering opponent. 1t was at this time
that Graney came forward and ordered
Jeffries away, telling him that the fight
was ended in his favor. Monroe tot
tered to his corner with blood steaming
from his face and fell into his chair,
aazed and helpless. His seconds imme-
diately began working on him to fresh
en- him, and when he came to a reali-
cation that the fight had gone against
him he rose, and going over to Referee
Graney began to protest. The huge
crowd understood that from his pro-
testing, gesticulations, etc, the purport
Of his talk to Graney, and a mighty
volume Of jeering and kissing EVIL
denced the sentiment of the spectators,
many of whom had placed money on
the miner that he would stay at least
double the number of rounds before the
champion. From the time the bell
rang for the commencement of battle,
to the time that the count of ten had
been uttered against Monroe, only four
minutes and As seconds has elapsed.
The first demonstrated, if nothing else,
that the world has yet to produce a
pugilist who will displace James ].
Jeffries as champion of the world.
Jeffries did not extend himself at any
time of the short contest, nor did he
deliver a blow that required the full
stretch of his powerful arm The shots
that sent the miner down were a short
arm variety that found easy Judgment
on the jaw of the mar from Butte, but
there must have been terrific impact
behind them. which was shown by the
way the 200 pounds of flesh went down
with a dull thud.

taste for a man to make a proposal
of marriage as it is for a woman
among us to propose to a man.
On the island of Tud, when a boy
grows into manhood, n of the les
sons his parents are careful to teach
him is: you no like girl first. If
you do girl laugh and call you wom-
an"
The way in which a young woman
opens and conducts a courtship with
the man for whom she has taken a
fancy differs widely from the most
approved method adopted by the leap
year girl in America. When the is
land maiden becomes enamored she
sends a piece of string to the sister
of the man she covets, which is a sign
that she loves him. The sister then
says to her brother: Brother, | have
good news for you. A woman loves
YOU He asks who the woman is,
and, if willing to go on with the at
fair, tells his sister to ask the girl
to keep an appointment WIN MIN ~
some designated spot. At the appoint
ed time they meet and talk the matter
over. The betrothal often is made a
the first meeting if both parties are
satisfied.

spring in sheep. There is an appar-
ent relation between the period OF
CESSATION and the period required for
maturity Quick-maturing breeds ap-
pear to carry their young for shorter
period than those requiring more time
to mature. Large lambs are on the
average carried for an appreciably
longer period than small or medium
lambs. Those dropped before the
Hath and the 149th day of pregnacy
are lacking in strength and vitality at
birth. Shropshire ewes are more
prolific than any other breeds and
crosses, except the fourth cross OF
Shropshire rams on Merino eve
foundation. From the data obtain
able, it is apparent that twins are the
normal increase for ewes of the NUT
ton type One-year-old rams are not
so prolific as those two or three years
old. Ewes average a larger percent
age of increase in lambs after reach
ing full maturity of three years until
after they are six years old, when
the rate of increase diminishes. The
amount of service required of the ram
in breeding has an influence on the
percentage of increase in offspring Of
of the ewes that produce lambs. Ewes
bred early in the season of mating
to a single ram drop a larger percent
age of lambs than those near the lat
ter end of the season.

Fed in Transit in Nebraska.

Last fall J. e. Smith, or Pendleton,
Ore, took 10000 lambs from the
ranges of that country to Kearney,
Nebraska, where they were fed and
finished off for the market. A short
time ago Mr.. Smith sent them to the
Chicago market. The lambs had been
on feed for 140 days when he TOOK
them to market, and had gained an
average of 80 pounds since shipping
them from the Pendleton ranges. The
firm of Clay, Robinson & Co. handled
them in Chicago, and brought MT.
Smith a good profit on the deal BY
shipping them as he did and feeding
them at the other end of the line, he
saved all of the shrinkage that usually
accompanies such shipments, and real
ly gained in weight and consequent
profit.
The sheep were all under year old,
and had been raised by Mr.. Smith on
the land of the J. e. Smith Livestock
company, and we're the first grade OF
mutton sheep
