Mon fIrst Homo Came.

IN a pretty game, Randolph High de-
feated North Barre on the home grounds
last Friday at baseball by a score Of TO 3.
Randolph played considerably better
than the visitors in ell departments, and
but for some wild throwing in the last
two innings would have held them to one
run. In general fielding, Randolph did
finely. Bagley made two pretty catches at
center, once doubling runner at first,
and Durkee did the same trick ut right.
Drew stopped a sharp drive with one
hand and got the runner.
Both batteries did effective work, Bass
and Connolly having perhaps shade the
best OF il. Morton started to pitch for
Randolph, but retired after one inning in
which. with three men on bases and none
out. North Barre failed to score.
The visitors lost two chances to score
during the game by put-outs at the plate.
Randolph had case OF .'the shakes IN
the last inning, but pulled themselves to-
gether in time to stop the visitors final
rally. Moulton umpired we'll.

Startling. But True.

*People the world over were horri-
fed on learning Of the burning Of q.

hundred people lost their lives, yet

pie died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year. Every one

of these cases OF: pneumonia resulted
from cold and could have been pre-
vented by teh timely use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. a great many
who had every reason to fear pneu-
monia have warded it off by the
prompt use of this remedy. The follow
ing is an instance of this sort: "Too
much cannot be said of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and especial
ly for colds and influenza. 1 know that
it surely cured my daughter, Laura, of
a severe cold, and I believe saved her

Railroad, Rebates.

The railway presidents have grav-
itated to Washington and have talked
OUT, in melting with more frankness
than at any previous time: and this
is to be commended. Very few Of them
have heretofore really accepted the
doctrine that great highways of traffic
in this country are public rather than
private institutions, to be managed
chiefly for the public benefit. They are
now making great many admissions
of significant sort that the public will
not fail to treasure up.
They are willing to let it be known,
for example. that she. practice Of re
batting was a montsrous evil only
they assure us they hayez at last. and
very recently, SO perfectly succeeded
by their own efforts in ridding themq-
selves of these pernicious habits that
they feel quite sure they can stay re-
formed without any further attention
from the government OF the public.
Some of them, however, do not feel
quite so sure. and admit that they are
afraid that they may be led again into
temptation and fall from grace
through the cajolings OF the trusts and
powerful shipping corporations. The
simple fact is that American railroad
ing has long been full Of the practice
OF favoritisnn and discrimination
against the ordinary shipper. What
with rebates. paid in all kinds Of hid
den and roundabout ways to favored
concerns in which railroad men have
them selves to frequently been side
partners. and what with the eXactions
Of private car lines and forty kinds of
subsidiary corporations for private
benefit and against public interest.
American railroad administration has
been permeated with rottenness and
corruption. 1t is encouraging that the
railway magnates should go to Wash
ingto1 and confess that they have been
great sinners in the past. But it is
scarce becoming that they should Of
fer quite so active hand as they have
been extending for the shaping Of the
legislation so urgently needed to pro-
tetc the public against their confessed
shortcomings American Monthly

OLD TIME RACE-TRACK SHARP.
How Dave Smith and His Running
Worked Kansas Citys Sports.

A decrepit old man living on the
outskirts of Salina in rickety old
wagon and living on the bounty Of gen.
erous citizens recalls to Judge Dan
Wagstaff time when this old man
was a noted race horse sharper. His
name is Dave Smith. Many years ago
he possessed running horse known
as Buckshot, which could beat any
thing in Kansas in a quarter dash.
His game was to drift into town
with Buckshot hitched to a tumble
down wagon. TheH he would sift
around among the horsemen and af-
ter a drink ortwo would intimate that
he had a "hoss'' with could go some.
His innocent country way never failed
to impress the sports with the idea
that they had caught a sucker. And it
was an impression that was not re-
moved until Smith departed day or
two later with all the loose cash in
town.
One time many years ago Smith
poked into Atchison withe his ram
shackle outfit. In some manner the
sports got wind Of the fact that the
old mans horse was the famous Buck
shot. They though they saw way to
do the old man up for all his posses
sions inasmuch as he always employed
a local rider to ride his racer. Their
game was to get a rider upon Buck
shot who would pull him. They sue
ceeded only too easy. The old man ac-
cepted the rider who offered his ser
vices without the slightest hesitation.
Furthermore he bet the Atchison
sports to a standstill. putting up mon
ev on Buckshot until no more was to
be had.
The horses were called to the post.
They were to go from standing start,
or a held start as the fellows used
to call it. The old man ambled out to
the track with Buckshot, rider up, and
took his station ready for the word
ego" And just as the word was given
he jerked a snap Joose and the bit
dropped from Buckshot's mouth leav-
ing the rider with nothing to pull on.
Then he fetched Brckshot a clip with
a quirt, and the old horse went down
the track like a creased streak Of
lightning and loped home an easy WIN
ner.-Salina Republican.

Part of toe Dispensary Profits to

5 per cent of the county dispensary

lowed to remain as at present con-
structed.
The commission are of the opinion
that it would be better, and in the
long run more economical, for the
State to remove the dome entirely and
put up one more in keeping with the
main body of the building and more
scientifically and architecturally ad-
jusred thereto. The dome itself is so
defective in its construction that in
the course of time it will have to be
removed and another one put in it's
place. Therefore, the work that is now
done upon it will be only temporary.
The commission would, therefore, rec
omlnend that the present dome be en-
tirely removed and a new one con-
structed according to the best archi-
tectural and engineering ideas.
Should the general assembly come
to the conclusion not to remove the
present dome, the commission would
then recommend that the girders sup
porting the dome be REINFORCED and
strengthened, and that the inner dome
be made secure, if it is allowed to re-
main in its present position
Architect Milburn may be expected
to make an extended reply to the crit
icisn of his work and the whole busi-
ness will be hrashed over again, with
out accomplishing any good. Perhaps
when the dome topples over or falls
down into the lobby everybody will be
convinced that it was not properly con-
A glance at the work on the
exterior is sufficient to convince rea-
sonable man that the new work is not
to be compared with the old.
