Followers of athletics contend that
if the sprinting records held by Arthur
Duffey are eliminated from the records
of the A a. L. John J. Owen of De-
troit should be recognized as the cham
pion 100-yard runner. he having orig
inaIIy established the record of 9 As
seconds. Owen made his record at
the A a. L championships held at
Analostan Island, in 1890. The record
stood until Duffey ran 100 yards in
SIS seconds in 1902 Many others, in
Guiding Schick, Wefers and Hahn, have
since run in As, but as Owen was
the first to get below 10 seconds, his
friends assert that the title should re-
vert to him
Joe Cans is TO be given another
chance. He acknowledges youthful in
discretions but promises, in future, to

PROFESSIONAL "FAT MEN ''

An amusing Illustration of the
methods by which some patent medi-
cine testimonials are obtained is af-
forded by the case of man who was
not long ago brought before a French
magistrate on a charge of vagrancy
Says a writer in the British Medical
Journal, in describing the case:
'In reply to a question from the
bench as to what he did for living
the man, who was long and lanky and
had half-starved look stated that
he was by profession a fat man. He
explained to the astonished magis-
trate that he was employed by man
ufacturer of medicines for the cure
of obesity to pose for an illustrated
testimonial. For this purpose he was
dressed in a suit of tights, made OF
India rubber, which was inflated sc
as to give him the appearance of a
mani of Falstaffian dimensions. A
photograph taken of him in this
character was described as before
treatment" He was then pumped
out by degrees, photographs being
taken at each stage of shrinkage ant
described as after one months treat
ment, after two months, and sc
forth. 1t is not a profitable trade, a!
phr tographs once taken have an in.
definite run; hence the fat man may
illustrate the completeness of the
cure by dying of starvation"

ization and the perpetuation of the
race are incompatible.
1t was a significant thing. thought
to be worthy of an extended Scripps-
McRae news dispatch. that Mrs. Har-
riman, wife of the president of the
Southern Pacific railway, had aban-
doned a trip to Europe in order to
stay home and take care of her baby.
/ 1t is worthy example. 1t teaches
duty to the mothers who leave their
infants in the care of nurse while
I they either go abroad or plunge into
social campaigns. The care of in
fants is duty of parents in every
station of life, and if that duty be
shirked the consequences finally fall
upon the state itself
No one pretends that the decline of
the birth rate in this country has be-
come acute. The president did not
say So but he recognized the subject
as worthy the attention of statesmen
and spoke in the voice of warning.
He is not fairly subject to the at
tacks made upon him in the women's
Congress.
The leader in the criticism was
Miss Anna Shaw, who said; 'It is
said that women should rear more
children, but I say you must first
make your country fit to rear child
rem in. We need to make this world
safe for children. To do so we must
give them social heredity. so that they
will be born in safe conditions and
protected until grown. This cannot
be done until women have rights in
the state to protect them. We must
have city mothers as well as city faith
ers. We desire suffrage as a means
to an end"

No COMPROMISE WITH VICE.

Pendleton has the reputation of
being the most notoriously wide-open
town in the northwest, and as a con-
sequence there is a gang of the tough
est characters in the country congre-
gated here. Serious crimes have been
ayerted only by the vigilance and eff
ficiency of the police force. The kind
of men who commit all kinds of
crimes are found here; gamblers,
boosters, "cappers," thugs. sure
thing men, confidence men and men
with no occupation that any one
knows of, yet who wear white shirts
and stand on the street corners wait
ing for victims
All these parasites are kept here
by the fact that the city is to be run
wide open. If the assurance was
given these useless classes of people,
that Pendleton was to observe the
moral code and be more decent their
opportunity would be gone and they
would leave.
And everybody would be better
off in their absence. They produce
not a cent to put in circulation. They
prevent the circulation of money in
legitimate channels, which now finds
its way into their hands.
sheepherders, farm hands, working
men, farmers and others who fall into
their hands would pay their bills at
grocery and dry goods stores buy
more clothing and more luxuries for
their homes, if they did not spend
their money with the gamblers.
And as to revenues to the city,
would the city council license burg
lars or horse thieves, or hold-up men
for revenue? There are laws and or
dinances against gambling just as
rigid and well defined as against
these other crimes, yet no one has
heard Of compromise with the other
forms of crime. Then why compro-
mise with this form?
The same money will be in circula-
ton after the gambler leaves town,
which he will surely do in the near
future, as now, because the gambler
does not produce cent of money he
uses. 1t is other peoples money in
whole. He takes it from the legiti-
mate channels of circulation and
uses it to increase immortality, vice
and depravity.
No one ever heard Of a gambling
game adding anything to the wealth
OF community. Merchants, gro
GERS shoemakers and milliners will
get the money that now goes into the
gamblers pockets, when he is for
bidden entrance to the city by a Wig
orous policy of municipal decency.

years, at the present rate of progress,
it will have reached the billion mark.
And then it will go even faster, until
the ordinary mind is appalled, at the
portentious figures.
We have seen that the two million
dollars invested by John Jacob has
multiplied at least 200 times i'm 100

If the same rate be maintained for
another century, the Astor fortune will
attain the unimaginable total of so
billions.
We stand aghast at such a possibil-
ity, but not more so than would have

foreseen the present reality. In 1880

Treat Catarrh in Spring.

The spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna
is taken during the early spring months
the cure will be prompt and permanent.
There can be no failures II Peruua is
taken intelligently during the favora Ole
weather OF spring.
AS systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. 1t cures
catarrh of the stomach or bowels with
the same certainty as catarrh Of the head.

IMPROVE THE STREETS.

Property owners on Main street
are willing and anxious to make the
necessary street improvement now
being considered by the city council
a months delay now will delay the
entire matter until another year. A
rock crusher should be ordered and
work begun at once.
The result of the crushed rock
street is already well known. The
only first-class section of street in
the city is at the intersection of Main
and Alta, where the crushed rock
was laid some time ago This por-
tion of the street is easily drained,
is freer from mud and more like a
permanent street than any other in
the city
Begin now to improve Main street.
There will be little, if any objection
All the owners of property should
take sufficient pride in the matter to
urge it forward. The council should
receive the personal assurance of
each one interested that the improve
ment is desired.
But don't half way do the work.
Lay a deep bed of crushed rock. 1t
must be deep and properly placed to
secure good drainage and unless it is
built right. it should not be done at
all. This improvement, done well.
will answer until the city can pave

1t is laughable and yet a serious
matter to notice the solicitude of
members of the city government in
the enforcement of some of the trivial
ordinances. Several merchants who
have built display cases in front of
their places have been notified that
such cases projecting over the side
walk are illegal and that they will
have to be removed. The same Of
ficials who complain of this trivial
violation of one of the ordinances
know personally that gambling is
running wide open in violation of the
city ordinances that young men and
old men are being robbed and pros
tituted by this vice and yet not a
word about the enforcement of this
ordinance against gambling. Consis-
tency is rare and priceless jewel,
worn by few.

NEARING BILLION MARK.

The AstOr properties now increase
as never before. Land values in the
last five years have jumped so and
100 per cent. New York Citys popu-
lation grows at the rate of 100000 a
year.
In many sections New York has
been largely reconstructed; new head
quarters of retail trade and business
have developed; public improvements
initiated since then, tunnels, bridges,
subways, railroad terminals-aggre-
gate i'm cost not far from 800 million
dollars. There has been a general
movement of corporations toward New
York; practically all the newly or
ganized companies, for example, have
located there.
When John Jacob died, in 1890, his
estate, inherited by william Waldorf,
was estimated at $50 million dollars.
If 1t were worth that then, ills worth
800 million dollars now. The estate
of William Astor, who died in 1892,
inherited by the present John Jacob,
was generally placed at about SIS mill
lion dollars. If that were an accurate
figure, It must now aggregate at least
100 million dollars. The combined
Astor fortune thus increases with ac-
celerated momentum. In Is or 20

the trolley company was heard rela- tive, to the burying of the wires in cer- tain streets. He said plans are now under way for the work and the matter will be attended to as quickly as pos sible. Commissioner Jackson was not sure whether this was definite enough and suggested that the hearing be con tinued. The matter was finally dis posed of by voting to forward com Inunicati0n to the aldermen setting forth the facts in the case. The propo- sltion works all right, but you can't always tell what way people interpret things. If the company is willing to make conduits and put the wires i'll them in all the streets mentioned ex. cept the lower part of Grand, which is not yet graded, that is all that could be expected of them, and the board does not look for more, but they want to make sure that they are getting that much.

liILKhEN DEBATE.

The milkmen had. their, inning in City hall last night and before they got through they had agreed to con !. tinue t0 charge six cents quart Tor milk spilled into your pail on the ve- randa during the summer months, in
 stead of five cents ns has been the price for several years past, and 1T
 they put it into bottle you will have to pay seven cents. the ticket sched- lule is fourteen and a half quart tick. ssets for dollar for bottle trade and aixteen tickets when the article IS measured into n vessel set out by the consumer. In this way you beat the dealer out of five cents when you buy dollars worth of bottle" tickets, but he gets half cent out of you for nothing on the can business. The dealers lay all the trouble at the door of the farmers in Middlebury, Water town and other places who have in sisted in keeping up Fthe prices and the peddlers had no alternative but make an advance, so you see 1t II. the same old story with milk the same as everything else. The consumer is at the mercy of the producer, and 1t will always be so until people get sense enough to know that there are many things which they can manage to get along without if they only made their minds up to do 1t. Three cans of con densed milk, such as are advertised Dy several merchants about town, Will go as far as dollars worth of milk mans fluid, and some of the best phy- sicians in the country claim that, there is more nutriment in 1t and all agree that 1t is safer. Just now when the milk inspector Is talking about the presence of tuberculosis among cattle in Waterbury 1t would seem that pru- dent people would see the wisdom of purchasing the condensed article and make sure. they are running no risk. Of course the farmers have right to charge what they please for their stock and nobody is justified in kick ing up a fuss about 1t, but just the same the situation is not half as bad .as people think it Is and if everybody would look at it in the right way our friends from the rural districts would soon take a tumble and put their sswares" within the reach of all who cared to buy at reasonable price. NllIkIlcu WIlO uUu uCpSsih oh OsAASAo for their supply are In no way af1ected by the action of the farmers and the session last night was to get them into the combine so that there would be no difference in the price of milk even by those who can afford to dis pose of 1t at profit for five cents quart. It was an easy matter to talk dealers who have cows of their own into hanging onto the winter prices and tacking on another cent for put ting it 'n hottie ST tt"r !" one sense the gathering was sort of love feast.
