CHILD Meets WITH
FRIGHTFUL DEATH

The community was shocked Thurs
day morning to learn of the fatal ac-
cldent which had befalled the little
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Miller late
wednesday afternoon. Floyd. three
years old, had been playing near a
rubbish fire, which was supposed to
have gone out, when his clothes
caught on fire and he became SO badly
burned that death relieved his suffer.
lngs the next morning.
Mrs. Carl Ross little girl was play
ing with the Miller children at the
time. Hearing the cries of FLOYD she
went to his assistance. The accident
happened but few hundred feet from
the house, but at point where the
children could not be seen. 1t is
thought the little fellow walked into
the hot ashes, and from this his
clothes caught fire. He was very bad
ly burned about the legs.
Funeral services we're conducted at
the residence Friday afternoon by
Rev. W. A. Elkins of the Chistian
church.

1t viii Be Cider Creek Hereafter.

Cider creek is the name decided
upon for the little stream on the East
Side up the canyon of which the grade
for the Mount Hood railroad will ex-
tend. For several years the stream
has been designated as Whiskey creek
but to such a name there were sew
eral objections from the good people
of the East Side.
Cedar creek was suggested instead
of whiskey creek, but as there is such
a creek on the West Side very close to
the creek on the East Side, and as Ci-
der creek is "a sort Of compromise be-
tween the two, and one considered
very appropriate for an apple commu-
nifty, Cider creek it shall be called
hereafter.
Tho name Whisky creek came from
the distillery operated on the banks
of the stream several years ago, when
"mooushine" and apple jack we're
manufactured for those who desired
something strong John Schletzel was
the old German who conducted the
distillery. The building still stands
putt he old distiller has lett the coun-
try. 1t is said the old man used to
make some strong alcohol from his
apple jack, which went 100 under
test

tualiy the same entry list ~
Rich Hill.
The 3-year-old trot viii bring
together a promising lot Of young
trotters, and the people Of Bates
and Vernon counties win watch
this race with interest, as both
counties have horses entered
from their respective counties.
While Rich Hill is not represent
ed in this class, the county is
very ably represented by Butler
with her three entries.
The running races this year
viii be above the average given
in connection with a harness
meeting. There win be one or
two races each day.
Mr.. J. It. Weathers, our form.
er townsman, and one of the
ablest starters in Southwest
Missouri, has been employed to
start the races, therefore we all
feel assured Of a good start in
each heat, without long delays at
the post.
As a whole the outlook this
year for the most successful
meeting in the history Of the as
.sociation was never brighter.
The railroads making a rate of
II 8 fare for the round trip viii
assure a large crowd from neigh
boring points.
Everything this year will also
be conducted on orderly, bust
ness-like principles and a good
time and the best races ever wit
messed are guaranteed.
Come one and all, meet your
friends, enjoy a few days rest
after a hard busy spring, hear
good music, see good races, etc.
There win be a merry -go-round

merous other attractions TO inter

Uncle Sam as a digger.

The best monthly record made
by the French when the opera
tions were at their height was
the removal of %, 900 cubic yards
Of earth and rock from the Guile
bra cut. Last month the Ameri.
cans completed total excava-
tion of 12s eco cubic yards, re-
ports the Philadelphia Ledger.
On the last day Of March two
modern 95.ton steam shovels,
constructed in Milwaukee. and
i've 7O-ton shoyels were at work,
and on that day 6, 400 cubic yards
.of earth and rock were removed.
This is merely the beginning
.of the introduction Of modern eff
fectiye machinery. The engin-
GERS purpose TO use from 120 TO
130 of these steam shovels and as
one is received every two weeks,
five years win elapse, at the pres
ent rate of manufacture of the
shoyels, before the full equip
ment is installed.
In fact, one Of the great pro-
blems is TO get the machinery
made, and the chief engineer de
clares that not until the expira-
tion of eight years, or two years
before thc end of the time allot-
ted for the completion Of the ca
nal, win the ultimate force be in
operation
There Is now employed along
the canal IA force of 4,50o labor.
ers and additional men are taken
on as fast as they arrive and APP
ply for work Within a short
time the men VIII be worked in
night shifts by electric light, as
well SIS by day, and when the op-
GRAFTON is we'll under way the
construction work will be driy-
len day and night with Us many
thousands of laborers as may be
crowded along the canal without
interfering one with another.

Rich HllI Races.
uly II. Y. ID and u. 1905.

on It's 18th annual meeting has de
cided TO have a race meeting on.
ly, therefore has turned its
whole attention to the horsemen.
Secretary Tygard believes il will
have the best races ever witness
ed on this track, or in Southwest
Missouri; in fact everything at
this time points to racing that
win not be excelled in places
many times larger than Rich
Hill-the stakes being larger
than the ones offered by such
cities as st. Joseph, Joplin and
others of their class.
The program will be arranged
so that there win not be only one
big day" as is sometimes the
case, but each of the four days
win be big days" this year.
1t was the intention Of the di-
rectors this year to hold an Agri-
cultural Fair later in the season,
but we note that our Sister City,
Butler, is to have as they term
.it An Old Fashioned County
Fair" this fall. It is therefore
deemed best TO drop the Agri-
cultural Fair project so our peo-
pie can all turn out to help make
their Fair a success, and we ex-
pect the Butler folks to be at our
races in force as they have al
ways been in the past.
The races this year have the
largest entry list Rich Hill has
had in many years. The follow
ing stakes have been closed and
declared a go"
2:35 trot, $1,000, l3 entries.
2:1s trot, $500, l0 entries.
3-year-old trot, $500, 8 entries.
2:3j pace. $1,000. 10 entries.
2:25 pace, $500, II entries.
2:20 pace, 81, 900, l6 entries.
2:lO pace, $500, 10 entries.
In addition to the above there
viii be several purse races for
horses not entered in above
stakes, as there viii be some 30
race horses shipped here whose
classes did not ill, and they will
therefore start in purse races
only.
Ithas also been decided tohave
a race for Bates County horses.
Seven Rich Hill horsemen have
declared their intention 10 enter.
No doubt Butler with its large
training stables will double this
number and possibly other en-
tries will be made from different
parts of the county. There is nc
doubt but that the 2Io PAGERS
will lower the track record this
/ year, as there are : horses enter
ed, having marks better than 2:l:
This race should therefore be tn,
fastest and most hotly contested
OF the meeting.
The two $1,000 PAGES witt
their 10 and rs entries respect
lively will be Of great interest, a.
it is unpsual 20 get so large a fiel,
OF horses together ON a half mil,
track and also the stakes bein.
lSl,0oO each, they will all ,,driv,
20 win" for stakes Of this SizI
can't be fixed as is sometime
done m small races when . or
horsemen race for Sl00 or $50
purse.
The 81 eco trot, with 10 entrie
will bring together the fines
bunch of trotters ever ASSEMBLIES
ON our track, aud will no doubt b
a great race"
The horsemen claim the rae
OF the week viii be the 2:ls tro
for $500, with 10 entries, ON az
count Of the fast bunch of trol
ters entered-all having near IN
same mark, No doubt this wi
be a beautiful exhibition of hors
racing.

"Mrs. John Wiliiams'' Passes Bogua
Checks In Pendleton
Four Pendleton merchants were
swindled out of $25 each last Satur-
day evening within half an hours
time by clever woman armed with
a supply of bogus checks, says the
Tribune. Between 7:30 and o'clock
in the evening a woman with "coun-
trified'' appearance. claiming to be
the wife of John Williams, q farm
hand, appeared successively at the
Boston Store, Brock & McComas' drug
store, the Peoples Warehouse and Lee
Teutch Department store, where she
made small purchases amounting to
about. $3.50 In payment for her
purchases she presented check drawn
upon Fred Martin in favor Of John
williams or bearer. The checks
were indorsed by Williams, although
this would have been unnecessary,
they being legal tender for bearer if
genuine. Without exception the
checks were accepted and the proper
change returned to the female sharper,
who after securing the money imme-
diately disappeared.

dug and pried out of their burrows In
the wood by woodpeckers and creepers;
those underground are scratched and
clawed up to view by quail. partridges
and many sparrows: warblers and

flying near the ground. while swifts,
swallows and martins CLEAN harvest

When we think hummingbirds are taxi

snatching minute spiders and flies from
the deep cups OF the calyxes. When
night falls the insects which have
chosen that time as the safer to carry
on the business OF active life are pounced
on by crepuscular feathered beings; the
cavernous mouths of whip-poor-w wills
engulf them as they rise from their hid

Refuses to Be Brown's Bride.

Miss LEILA Baker, of Albany. ran
away from her lover. +. G. Brown, Of
Corvallis, at the very hour of their
marriage Tuesday. Accompanied by
Mr.. Baker. the father of Miss Baker,
Brown went to the county auditors
Office and obtained the license, it be-
ing understood that Miss Baker was to
make her appearance within few
moments at the court house, and the
nuptials would be celebrated in the
private office of Auditor Howell.
While the father and prospective
bridegroom were waiting telephone
message came to the county anditor
that Miss Baker had changed her mind
and would not marry Brown. A
search by the frantic groom failed to
produce the prospective bride, and be
later left the city.
