Famous Trotter Dead.

Chloroformed to put him out of mis-
cry, Robert j., 2:011a, the first PAGER
to demonstrate the possibility of the
two minute speed in harness, ended his
existence at Village Farm, near Buff
falo, a few days ago. He was owned
by Nathan Strauss, who sent him to
Village Farm several months ago to
spend his old days in idleness and
comfort.
Bred by the late Robert J. c. Walker,
Of Williamsport, Pa, and foaled in
1888, Robert J. began his turf career
in 1892 by winning a long series of
brilliant races as a 4-year-old. C. j.
Hamlin bought him during this cam
paign and placed him in the hands of
Ed Geers, who drove him in nearly
all of his best races. In 1897 he was
purchased by Lewis G. Tewksbury
and campaigned by E. r. Browne. Mr..
Tewksbury drove him on the Speed
way a year or two and then sold him
to Mr.. Strauss. Robert ]. was one of
the best hammered horses in New York,
mis- owner having often left him stand
ing in the streets without hitching.
He was bay gelding, by Hartford
son of Harold, and his dam was Ger
aldine, by Jay Gould.

STORY OF HOW HE PUT AWAY
BIG JACK MCCORMACK A FEW
NIGHTS AGO.
Robert j., Famous PAGER, 10 chIoro
formed-Sporting Gossip Picked
Up Here and There.

Here is the story of how John L.
Sullivan, VINO everybody thought
would not be able to whip Frank Neil
or any other bantam weight, knocked
out Jack Mccormick at Grand Rapids.
Mccormick, who put kid Mccoy to
sleep one time, weighed 1876 pounds,
while Sullivan was nearly 100 pounds
heavier
With the call of time for the first
round, after shaking hands, both got
down to business, with Sullivan doing
most of the leading. After an ex-
change of light blows to the face and
chest Sullivan got in a solid left on
Macs ribs. Mac retaliated with a left
to fact. Sullivan swung an uppercut
to jaw, but missed and Mac got in an
other left to face. Sullivan got in a
left to Macs ribs and Mac swung hard
to Johns mouth. A hot exchange fol-
lowed, with Sullivan the more agrees
SlVe, and ne started In Dy getting In
a hard left to Macs stomach, which
made the latter vince. The target
closed with both men breathing heav-
lily, but with honors in Sullivan's favor.
In the second round Sullivan got in
a left and right to Macs wind, the
latter countering with a left to face
and right to ribs. They exchanged
hard lefts and rights and then .clinched.
Mac got a stiff left to Johns mouth
and the latter rushed, both swinging
hard blows to the face and ribs. Sui
livan finally succeeded in getting Mac
into a neutral corner and as the lat
ter endeavored to fight his way out
Sullivan landed a terrific right on
Macs paw. Mccormick dropped to
the floor like log and was counted
out in an unconscious condition, and
it was fully five minutes before he
came to.

TO BE LOCATED ON UPPER PART
OF THE JOSEPH HAR1ERT
FARM.
Expected That Subterranean Flow Will
be Found at Depth Of Less
Than Fifty Feet.

Plans for sinking a test we'll on the
Harbert place four miles east of Wal
la Walla for the purpose of ascertain
ing the subterranean flow have been
perintendent Knight set force of men
to work at a point designated by En-
gineer Thomson when he was in Wal
la Walla a few months ago. The well
will be sunk at the upper end of the
Harbert farm on the south side of
Mill creek and within a few rods of
the immense bluffs that rise at that
point.
The city has obtained a secondhand
pump with a capacity of nearly 1000
gallons a minute and this will be used
to ascertain the flow encountered as
the well is sunk. A member of the
water committee yesterday stated
that the committee had every reason
to believe that an immense subterra
mean flow would be found at depth
of less than so feet. Engineer Tnomp-
son took surveys of all that section of
the country when in Walla Walla last
summer and selected the point where
work has been commenced as the most
likely place to ascertain the subter-
ranean flow. Owing to the rocky ma
ture of the ground at this point it is
expected that the work Of sinking
the well will be necessarily slow. The
we'll will be about six feet in dame
ter.

Jeffries is planning extensive hunt

eminent don't allow hunting in the
famous park, but fine shooting is

HE WILL HUNT SIX WEEKS.
President Delays Taking the Trail Till
He Is Sure Senate Finishes.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-In the
fear that the senate may delay action
on the Santo Domingo treaty until the
end of the month, the president has
postponed his departure for the south
and west from March rs until April g.
To accommodate his changed plans
the rough riders reunion, which will
be held at San Antonio, Texas, has been
postponed until April Z. The president
will go direct to San Antonio with
short stops at Louisville. KY, and at
Sherman, Waco, Dallas and Austin,
Texas. The reunion will last only one
day, but Mr.. Roosevelt expects to de-
vote the next day to informal visits
with his old companions.
He then will go to northwestern
Texas, where he will hunt rabbits and
bears for week as the guest of Colonel
Cecil A. Lyon, republican national
committeeman from Texas. From
there ne will head straight for the re-
mote canyon in Colorado, where he will
hunt grizzlies and mountain lions for
five weeks and there Will be no stops
on the way.
From the time he leaves San An
tonic until he returns to Washington
about June 10, the president will par
ticipate in no formal functions of any
kind. He may show himself for a
moment at the stops which his special
train makes to change engines, but he
will not do more than that and the
stops will be as few as possible While
he is in the mountains he will disre-
gard routine matters and will consider
only questions of pressing Importance.

FOOD SCARCE At ZION CITY.
Dowie's Followers In New Of the
Necessaries of Life.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 1.-THE Sc
rious financial situation at Zion City
reached climax today when hun
dreds of Dowie's followers defying the
most stringent ukase of the Apostle,
flooded the stores in Waukegan while
two carloads of flour and meats stood
unredeemed On the tracks within Zion
City. Others, without funds to buy
provisions outside of Dowie's jurisdic-
ton, are said to be starving.
For three days two carloads of flour
and other provisions have stood sealed
within the town and the demurrage
alone mas been paid. The people of
the village have been told that there
are not sufficient available funds to
meet the bills of lading.
A perceptible decrease in the i'm
portation of meats and other foods
within the last few days has also oc
Cured and today, when the supplies
at the Dowie's stores mad practically
been exhausted almost no food was
received into the town.
The first train toward Waukegan
was hailed at Zion City and more tnan
a hundred Dowieites boarded the train.
When they reached Waukegan a con-
certed rush for the dealers in food en-
sued, though one of the most inexor-
able of the Apostles dictums for
bids the purchase of food outside of the
Dowie stores.
1--WE have no alternative" said one
of the most devout of the followers of
Zion. Many of the Dowie ties declared
that hundreds of their brethren were
practically without funds and facing
starvation.
Zion City commercial paper has not
risen from the low-water mark of II
cents on the dollar and even at that
price it finds no purchasers.

"HooDoo" FOLLOWS THE SUIT.
Freund's Action Against Great North
ern Repeatedly Delayed by Deaths.

BUTTE, Mont, March 14.-Death
appears to follow in the wake of the
damage suit of DR.. Isador D. Freund
against the Great Northern Railway
company, and, according to the aft
davit of the plaintiff filed in the fed
eral court to answer to a motion to
dismiss for lack of prosecution, the
case is "hoodooed."
Each time that Freund says he was
prepared for trial his attorney has
been taken ill, and died before the ac-
ton came up in court, and the evidence
and the papers have been confiscated
or lost after each death.
The case was begun Jan. 10, 1897.
Frank E. Corbett, the noted Clark at
torney, was the first to die. John Cot
ter, one Of the leading counsel for F.
Augustus Heinze, then took the case
and several months before the time
for the calling of the action he, too
James w. FOrbiS was next employed
by Freund, and after much delay the
case was set for hearing when Forbis
died after several days illness.
John J. Mediation, chief counsel for
Heinze, was next employed, but after
studying the suit ne listened to his
''hoodooed." Charles Madison has
now been engaged. Freund conducts
one of the largest hospitals in Butte.

May Fight the Reduction of Twenty
Per Cent. In Freight Rates By
Illinois Board.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Trafic officials Of
the Illinois railways, with general Of
fees in Chicago, have begun a general
inspection of their books to learn
whether the systems for which they
work will be able to bear the burden of
the 20 per cent. freight rate cut ordered
by the railroad and warehouse COM
mission at Springfield. In a few days
it is expected the freight agents will
hold a meeting, compare notes and de-
eide whether they will appeal to the
courts or accede to the demands of the
commissioners. The latter course, it is
said, means a loss of $40, 000, 900 annual
ly in their officers of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy openly
declare that their road will have to de-
feat the reduction, cut wages Or forego
dividends in Illinois.
THE state proposes to slash more
than 81, 900, 900 a year from our rev.
enues," said George H. Crosby, freight
traffic manager Of the Burlington. Last
year, after paying operating expenses in
Illinois, we had only about 5000, 900 left
for dividends. With a big cut in our in
come ahead we see no corresponding
increase in business"
