coMQuER1Ma RECORDS.

Few in the same brief time have
attained the prominence of E. e.
Smathers of New York as a trotting
with a natural love for the horse as
one of the noblest Of mans servants,
Mr.. Smathers has always counted the
trotter his chief source of pleasure,
but it is not until very recently that
he has been enabled to put aside
low the game as he keenly desired.
But when that time came he at once
entered the lists with seemingly un-
limited financial means, and proceed
ed to put himself upon a plane little
inferior to that OF Robert Bonner as
an uplifter Of the sport.
Beginning upon the New York
speedway. where his ability as a
reinsman commanded instant atten-
ton. Mr. Smathers gradually reached
out for other worlds, and became we'll
known throughout the east by his
phenomenal driving successes in the
inter city matinees, where he ranked
as one Of the best amateur drivers
in the country. Smathers' entire ca
reer in the turf world has been a
thing of the past four years.
Although he has maintained q
stable in charge Of professional train
ers and has campaigned 1t upon the
big ring. yet the public knows him
as an amateur. He has done more
for trotting than any other man now
identified with it, with the possible
exception of his friends, c. X. G.
Billings and Thomas w. Lawson.
both of whom have been shining ex-
amples to amateur horsemen.
Later on he paid $4,000 for Major
Delmar for the express purpose Of
winning the Memphis Gold Cup. the
major being Of no use on professional
tracks.
Mr.. Smathers' thoroughbreds are
led by McChesney. the great horse
for which he paid small fortune
last spring. His Judgment in select
ing a stable of runners which could
win, made last year. though his first
in the galloping game, successful
one.

THEY ACTUALLY DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten Il worthless Unless Di-
gestsd-soms stomaohs Must
Iayo Help,

Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the
condition Of the stomach, is not d.
gested. Is worse than no food at all.
This is n true statement as far as 1t
goes and a great many dyspeptics 60

They argue with themselves that be-
cause their stomachs do not do the
work given them. they must be given

BILE for a business man who Is unable
to do all his own work to cut down
his business to his own capacity as
IL is for u man to starve himself to
relieve hts stomach. Tho sensible bus
ward with his business. Likewise the
sensible dyspeptic will employ help
for his stomach and give his body
proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs OF Il great portion OF digestive
action. Their component parts are
identical with those of the digestive
fluids and secretions OF the stomach
and they simply take up the grind
and carry on the work just the same
as good. strong. healthy stomach
would do II.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply tho
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned In what is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the sustenance and
maintenance of the body.
How much more sensible Is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs. BY
this means the body and brain get all
the good. nutritious food they need
and the man is properly nourished
and equipped to carry on his work
and perform his duties. He could not
possibly be In proper working con-
dition by starving himself or employ
ing some new tangled, insufficient
food that does not contain enough
nutriment for a year old baby. A
strong man doing strong work must
DO properly fed and this applies to
the brain as well as the body.

ron A CITY LEAGUE.

Next week Manager Owney Patton
OF the Occur d'Alene alleys will COM
mence the organization of city
league. each team to be composed Of
two men. The plan Is to secure as
many OF these teams as possible and
thus promote the bowling game as
1t has never been promoted In this
city before. Each team that enters
will be required to put an entrance
fee of 81 in the pot" and the man.
agement will hang up enough. which,
along with the entry money. will
mako quite a desirable prize for the
winning teams. Patton proposes to
divide the money 60 per cent to the
winner. 25 to the second and Is to
the third.
Ever since these alleys opened we
have met with a very gratifying sue
cess" said Patton last night as he
doubled up like a jackknife to roll
one of those fancy balls with the
back action. Bowling might be
called the rage in this city now
1t certainly is getting wonderful
It's healthy exercise and the bust
ness man after hours finds delight
and rest In rolling the big marbles"
For the Five High Men.
The regular weekly contests to de-
termine upon the Ave highest men
for the month will be held at the
Occur d'Alene alleys tonight and good
scores are promised. This contest
will close them for tho month and
then the men who for this month
have rolled higher averages than
those making up the team at the end
OF December will take the places Of
the latter.
Bowling at the 3. A. A. O.
Interest in the game is growing
apace at the alleys OF the athletic
club. Their contests for the month
are led by Eddie Rothrock. who took
the lead on the start and has never
been caught since.

Basic or Bessemer.

Open-hearth steel has long been pre-
ferred in bridges and other construc-
ton work, but bessemer steel has
heretofore been considered excellent
IN rails. Some of the agents of the
steel trust and other bessemer pro-
ducers have cnaeavored to show that
The use of basic steel rails results in
more breakages, but engineers do NOT
endorse such purely commercial state
ments. In Germany basic steel rails
are alone used, and no complaint
comes from there as to breakages. If
the German rails were deficient in any
respect, we would be told about it at
length and with official minuteness.
The bessemer mills have nothing TO
go on when they assert the superiori-
ty of thei~ wares.
The issue will be tested very soon
In the south for the Ensley mill IS
turning out open-hearth rails daily,
and these are laid daily on the Louis
vile and Nashville and the Southern
and other roa1s side by side with bes-
semer rails from Pittsburg mills. Thus
we will soon have tests that will make
plain the differences in the two sets
of rails in wear and strength against
breakage. The test will be of a prac-
teal nature, and there will be appeal
from it, When the test is worked out
and made known the bessemer agents
will talk in vain. they have nothing
to go on at present, but when the rails
are tested side by side they will have
something to so up against.

remarked a gentleman last night. The
old man is extremely ignorant and | am
told that he cannot distinguish one figure

can multiply, add, divide and subtract
sums of four denominations with re-
markable ease. For instance, he will
multiply G543 by 24GS In avery short time.
merely by using his fingers. He never
fails to give the correct answer and he
arrives at a solution of such problems in
fraction of the time that it would take
to figure them out on a piece of paper.
How the old man does his figuring [
am not prepared to say. and his skill
is all the more remarkable when 1t is
remembered that he can neither read
nor write and Is unable to distinguish one
printed number from another under
stand that he know nothing but mental
arithmetic. On all other subjects he Is
extremely dun. but his gift for figures is
phenomenal and he has become quite a
local character in Bessemer, where his
power has often been tested

regular ones are sung. but they seem to

notes. and there are songs that are pecu-
liar to different sections of the state. as
those of northern California are not SIM

state, or Arizona. Some larks, with
voices that are sweeter than those of
