holding of over seven thousand acres, is capital
ized for only three million dollars, it will readily
be that this low price affords ample oppor-

Jockey Vandusen has received letter
from Jockey Beauchamp, saying that
the latter, who was under the ban last
fall, had received a license from the
German Jockey club and would ride as
a free lance. The same letter conveyed
the intelligence that Trainer George
Walkers horses at Frankfort were all
wintering well. Walker trains for DR..
Weinberg, one of the wealthy turfmen
of Germany, and he will have over a
hundred horses in his charge next sum-
mer. Vandusen is under contract to
DO the riding for the stable.
Boots Durnell, who has been rein
stated by the jockey club of France, is
said to have been engaged by Mont
Tennes as trainer at salary of $780, 900
per year. Durnell has disposed of his
entire stable to Tennes. Durnell had
been in Paris since November IA, plead
ing for the restoration of his license.
With him was William Pinkerton, who
has always taken great interest in
the little trainers affairs. That Pink
erton brought pressure to bear on the
French racing commissioners, as they
are called abroad, there is no doubt,
and without the help of The Eye" it
is not likely that Boots" would have
been reinstated.

OBJECTS TO SEELY
CAPTURING PRIZES

j. II. Allen & Bros. of Draper are
protesting that John II. Seely Of Nj
Pleasant has had an unfair advantage
Ia the prize line because he has been
supervisor of the stock department, and
also had authority in naming the Judge
of cattle. J. r. Allen stated last night
that this was the reason he and other
farmers had not entered cattle and
sheep at the state fair this year
Mr.. Allen stated further that
the American Short Horn association
contributes $500 toward the total of 5000
offered by the state fair management
OF prize money in the livestock depart
ment. For this the association is al
lowed to submit list of judges from
which the management may pick one
TO act in that capacity at the fair. Mr.
Allen notes that lit was a singular fact
that Fl. Clay Duncan, the man picked
through suggestion of Mr.. Seely. the
supervisor, was the same man who sold
Mr.. Seely his prize winning bull, which
took the sweepstakes. Other cattle
have been purchased from Mr. Duncan
by Mr.. Seely.
Seely's only competitor this year was
]. E. Ellison of Layton, and he entered
only at the last minute. Mr.. Allen saws
that this condition might be altered
and a representative exhibit secured II
it were forbidden that the supervisor
or any member of the board of direc-
tors be an exhibitor. Mr. Allen claims
he has the support in this demand OF

livestock men.

two other deputies and three blood
hounds, succeeded in finding the remains
of a camp where il is thought the hold

near Bitter lake and in a desolate spot.
The hounds were unable to carry the
scent any farther than this place

Russell exhibited the eagle last evening

see. Russell said he did not have the
least idea of where the eagles came
from, but that he and several neighbOrs
saw the birds while high in the air and
they appeared to come from the noun

president of the New York Life, was
again called to testify before the spe-
cial legislative committee investigating
the life insurance companies of this
state when the sessions of the COM
mittee were resumed today.
For the first time since the investi-
cation began, James McKeen, associ-
ated with Mr.. Hughes as counsel for
the committee, conducted the eXami-
nation. Mr.. McKeen. who has been
studying the technical end of the life
insurance business, opened by outlin-

OF The committee and said its report

limited by the testimony taken at these
sessions.

by Mr.. Mckeen, then described in de-
tan the system used la making reports

also explained the mortality tables fol-

company.
Mr.. Mccall was Questioned as 10 sur

one of the embarrassing things about
the deficit is the fact that most OF the
capitalists who are depended upon to
hnance the patriots have an impress
sion that the decks are clear and that
the contributions they are making will
meet all the needs of the campaign.
They have not been furnished a tran
script of the proceedings at the inquest
held in committee headquarters last fall
when the chairman was having checks
thrown out Of the bank Even now,
some of the most conspicuous men in
the party are going to their work every
day as blithely as though they would
not be called OH to dig several times
more before the, campaign is closed.
In OrdeIs that they may know the
worst at the start, The Herald has
gone to great deal OF, trouble to secure
an itemized statement of the liabilities
which are pressing. and presents them
herewith as sOrrOwful evidence of hui
man natures credulity and confidence
in party that pledges it's life, its lib
erty, its sacred honor and the other
fellows property to the holy cause it
has eSOOused.

Is 60 the difference between govern

thing of this nature. he said, was the

companies with the board of trade
Mr. Mccall then went into history

of the greater number of companies
started from 1875 to 1880, and of the
