That the governments expenses nre

But the expenditures are all for the

One of these was the experience of the

The Racing Fates Have Decreed
That Water Boy Retire.
Haggin's Once Great Horse to
Be Sent to the Farm.
HIS SARATOGA DEFEAT
Marked the End of = Career
That Started Out Brightly.
Season Of 1904 Has Been a Dis

was ever sent to the races.
Water Boy will in all probability
never face the starter again. His de-

emphatically and pathetically revealed
that his once marvellous flight of speed
is no more 1t seems a pity that James
B. Haggin, his owner, did not see mt
to send him to Rancho del Paso, where
he now goes, before what many Will
consider a disgrace has been forced
upon him this season. He will go down
in history as the only horse that ever
fractured a shoulder, came out or the
sling after six months and the follow
ing year beat the greatest aggregation
of thoroughbredS ever sent to the post
in one year.
The magnificent coal-black son or
Watercress ought to perpetuate Cali
fornia's turf glory by sending some
great sons and daughters to the races
in years to come.
Not since the great racing revival OF
dozen years ago has the season just
passed been so disastrous to the TURF
champions as 1904. The Fearless Afri-
classics last year, winner OF the SUD

Southeast State Miners Vote to
Accept Wage Scale.
Operators Expect to Ratify Ac-
tion at Pittsburg Today.
NO COAL FIELD STRIKE
No Change OF Cost to the Con-
sumner to Result.
Man Who Only Buys a Load
Won't Notice the Difference.

Pittsburg, Aug 15.-The miners OF the
southwest have agreed By more than
1000 majority to adopt the proposition
submitted by the joint scale committee
of miners and operators at Pittsburg,
Kan. The operators will meet at Pitts
burg today and say whether they will
accept the terms agreed upon. 1t is
safe to say that they will accept them.
The adoption of the new scale means
no strike in the coal fields that supply
Kansas City and most of its trade terri
tory this year unless there may be
small strikes growing out of local con-
ditions.
It also means that coal will be no
cheaper to the ordinary consumer this
year than last. There is a reduction In
the prices of some kinds of work out
not Of others and the operators say they
will only save two cents a ton in the
cost of coal production as compared
with last year. The packing houses
and the railroads may get the benent
of this two cents The householder VINO
buys a load or two at a time won
recognize any difference when he sees
his coal bill.
The proposition voted on was to re-
new the contract of last year in all
particulars except that the scale Tor
day work. dead work yardage and De
dcient coal work are to be reduced 800
per cent. The contract is to run
through two winters or until March 81,

cry stride Before a quarter of mile
had been covered he had a lead of a half
a dozen lengths, and entering the stretch
he was fully fifteen lengths in front of
Stalwart. Nearing the wire, however,
Odom eased his mount and passed the
wire five lengths to the good. The dis
lance, a mile and f1ve-sixteenths,w was COW
that distance.
The Hopeful stakes for 2-year-olds was

for Fox Hunter, who took the lead at the
second jump and won off by himself.

General Houston knew and loved

then accounted the most beautiful girl
of the Cherokee tribe General Hous-
ton was ambitious. He moved to Ken
lucky, entered politics and was elected
governor Shortly after he resigned
and came west to the Cherokee nation,
where he found Talihina again. They
were married and lived together sew
eraI years. General Houston was &C
cepted by the Indians as one of their
tribe. He led a wild and reckless life.
When war clouds arose in Texas he
disappeared from the Cherokee ma
ton as suddenly as he quit Kentucky,
went to Texas and never returned.

Bob Lawson has been suspended by
the Sedalia club for failure to report.
President Shiveley has given the sus-
pension his approval. The Chicago
National league wanted Bob last week
and the Goldbugs wanted a considera-
ton. Hence the "tieup" of the YER
satile collegian.
Quite a number of the newspapers
over the circuit comment upon the re-
lease of Corr from the Topeka team,
and say that the Saints management
made bad mistake.
President Shiveley sent this wire to
Manager Hurlburt Of the Springfield
team on Saturday, relative to the fight
which his players had at Fort Scott on
last Monday with Umpire Owens: do
you know reason why Schmidt and
Zoellers should not be suspended"
Hurlburt at once replied that he had
several good reasons why they should
not. Thereupon Shiveley wired Hurl-
burt that he would be in Springfield to-
day for a conference over the affair. 1t
is possible that Springfield may lose
two of it's crack players and in that way
be seriously handicapped in its fight for
the pennant.
