TRoTTER AxTELL DEAD.
Famous Stallion, for Which Sos, 700
Was Paid, Dies at Terre Haute.


Special to the Ocala Banner:
Terra Haute. Ind. Aug. 22.-Axtell,
the stallion that in 1889 made the
worlds trotting record of that time,
died at the Warren Park Stock Farms
yesterday of spasmodic collie.
The night after the record race Ak
tell was bought by a syndicate for
$105, 900.
Axtell when three-year old went
"a mile at Terra Haute, Ind, on Oct.
IL, 1889, in 2:12, and throughout his
career scored an unbroken series of
victories. He was foaled in 1886,
sired by William L. Low, by Mambri-
no Boy, and bred by Charles w. Will
liams, of independence, Iowa. Mr..
Williams bought the dam of Axtell
for SIS, and sent her to Kentucky,
where she was bred to William L.
When a yearling Axtell was broken
to harness and was everything but a
trotter until one day his owner struck
him hard with a whip, and the colt
broke into square, rapid gait. He
was at once put into training.
His maiden race was over the MALT
mile track at Keokuk, in which he
started against four three-year Odds
and won. After making time record
of 2:24 at Minneapolis, Axtell started
in his next race over the half-mile
track at Des Moines, against three
year olds. Axtell lost the first heat,
but won the other three, the fastest
heat being 2:35 "a. On June q, 1889,
he started at Grand Rapids to best
1927 IA, and trotted in 2:21 "a, which
was IA second better than his mile
the previous October.
At Minneapolis he trotted an ex-
hibition mile in 2:15 IL. He was
sent to Minneapolis. and turned t."
half-mile track in 2:20 IL. At st.
Paul he equaled his own time of 2:15
IL for the mile. At Cleveland he
trotted in 2:15 ga, and then was ship
ped back to Chicago, where - f~ilo1
to beat the 2:13 IL of Maxey Cobb.
His last contested race was over
the same track two days later, in a
match with Earl McGreggor, which he
defeated in straight heats in 2:19,
2:15 and2: 90 - At Terra Haute he
started to beat the three-year old rec
ord Of 2:13 ga, held by the California
flly Synod, and also Maxey Cobb's
record of 2:13 IA for stations of all
ages. The first quarter was covered
in 0:22, the half in LOS IL, the three
quarters in 1872 IA, and the full mile
in PIP, which broke the three-year
old record by / ga seconds and the
stallion record by / IA seconds.
The track was seven feet more than
the mile by official survey. After the
race the horse was sold to a syndi-
cate that was made up of w. P. Ijams,
Terra Haute, Ind, A. F. Bush, Detroit,
Mich; Col. J. w. Conoly, Chicago,
H.; and F. F. Morgan, Detroit, Mich,
for s105,00O. The syndicate was at
once offered $4,000 profit for the
horse. 1t was, however, refused, and
Axtell was sent to the stud champion
of trotting stations and of ali three
year old.

of its services. Kellogg and o.

pack animal, without notifying Peck.
Within a month they had discovered
the greatest mine the Occur d'Alenes

When Peck discovered that his bur
70 had formed one of the party he
brought suit to have his interest es-
tablished and the court sustained his
contention.

What Ebert Hubbard Says About the
Jews

Today the Jewish clothing mer-
chant is the very touchstone and SYM
boil of integrity. From him you get
guarantee as to fit, quality and
price that is above suspicion. More
over you get a guarantee against your
own whim-the Jew gives your money
back on the return of the goods, and
this without bubble or question.
The Jew above all men, recognizes
that honesty is business asset, the
Righteousness merely a form of COM
nonsense.
To make one sale and make an enc
my in the transaction is a very poor
plan for making money The winner
lis the man who has friends-people
who believe in him-and this fact is
best recognized by the successors of
the men who used to take US in, be-
ing strangers, and do for us.
So
The ony people not interested in
the meat inspection business is the
Jews. This because they took up the
question of food inspection three
thousand, five hundred years ago and
disposed of it by making it the duty
OF their rabbis to inspect and kill all
animals designed for food and put
their stamp of approval upon the car
cass.
A part of the education of every
rabbi now is the inspection of meat
from hoof to can. Even the slightest
suspicion of disease or wrong condi-
ton causes the rabbi to withhold his
Kosher" endorsement.
The word Kosher means Clearly.
good, right and legal. Therefore meat
that is good is called Kosher" meat
that is bad is ''tref."
The Mosaic laws are all sanitary
laws. designed for the good of this
world and the folks who are alive.
The Mosaic code is founded on science
and commonsense. But in order to
enforce his edicts and make people
obey them. Moses resorted to the ex-
pedient OF saying, THUS saith the
Lord" or, THE Lord spake unto Mo-
ses saying."-The Philistine.

KILLED THE HORSE.

NEW YORK. May lS,-A cable dis
patch to a morning paper from Paris,
says:
James Watson, an American, has been
arrested as the result of a remarkable
street scene. A bicyclist was knocked
down and badly injured by heavy ve-
ricle. the driver of which drove off.
Watson, who was riding on a passing
omnibus drew revolver and shot the
horse, thus preventing the drivers es-
cape Mr.. Watson was taken to the
police station and held. He offered to
compensate the owner of the horse.
Watson is a resident of Denver. The
magistrate released him on bail. His
revolver was restored to him because its
calibre did not exceed that of revolvers
that are allowed to be carried here with
out taking out license.
The main charges against Watson are
firing revolver on the public highways
and cruelty to animls. He achieved his
object in shooting the horse, the arrest
of the driver, who is detained.

SAN FRANCISCO, May lS.-That the
insurance companies which manifest in
tention of resisting claims and evade
payment of losses sustained by policy
holders in the great fire here by resort
ing to legal teehnicalities will be
marked companies and may meet with
drastic action in some states is indi-
Gated by the tenor Of replies received
by insurance Commissioner Z. Myron
Wolf in response to his appeal to the
insurance departments of other states to
assist him in compelling the insurance
companies to deal fairly with their pol.
icyholders in the present crisis. Com
missioner Wolf yesterday received the
following official communication from
Sam P. Davis, state controller of
Nevada:
Il understand that some of the east
ern and foreign companies are proposing
to crawl behind technicalities in the
matter of adjusting losses in San Fran
cisco; that where houses were dyna-
mited to stay the progress of the
fames-houses which in the natural
course of events would have been swept
away by the fire a few minutes later
they will refuse to pay the insurance.
''Now, it appears to me that the act
of destroying these buildings was alone
what saved the rest of the city from
total destruction and no doubt protect
ed these companies is to be made a pre-
text on their part to evade their just
obligations in settlement of their San
Francisco liabilities, it is prima facie
evidence to me that the companies re-
sorting to these technicalities are dis
honest. and on proper showing of
these facts l will revoke their license in
Nevada"
The Speyer contract carries no sub
sidy. but a perpetual franchise. The
Philippine Railway Company also has a
perpetual franchise, and the government
of the islands guarantees FIVE per cent
interest upon 95 per cent of the actual
cost of construction for term of thirty
years.
