The democratic county convention is
not so far off now, and events leading
up to that convention are shaping con-
ditions favorably for party success this
fall. We believe that good, clean,
respectable ticket will be nominated
for the county Offices which will be
elected without an exception. There
will be plenty of good strong candi-
dates to pick from and plenty OF
democratic votes to elect the entire
ticket. Candidates for the various
Offices should make their announce.
ments early thereby placing themselves
before the people. This is already
being done in most of the other couties

Judge M. ]. Wade is out in letter
positively declining to run as the dem.
ocratic candidate for congress in the
second district, giving as his reason
that his personal business interests will
not permit him. He says there are a
number of good democrats in the dis
trict who are capable of entering the
campaign and winning out, and that
whoever is nominated will have his
hearty support, and he will rejoice over
the victory which will be won by the
democrats on Nov. 9th.

D. w. Hamilton, of Sigourney, was last
week nominated as the democratic can
didate for congress in the sixth dis
trict, and will make the race against
Congressman Lacey. 1t had been
thought that Gen. James B. Weaver
would be the nominee, but when the
convention was held Hamilton won out
with go votes to 38 for Weaver.

CUTS CHILDREN
FROM HIS WILL
Sen. Brown Gives Nothing
to Son and Daughter
Of Mrs. Bradley

Salt Lake City, Dec. 21-Had the
late ex-senator Brown foreseen his
death at the hands of Mrs. Anna
Pradlev, he could have devised no
more ingenious retaliation than the
post-mortem revenge contained in his
will. The document, which was writ
ten August "a, 1905, four months be-
fore Mr.. Brown was shot down at the
Raleigh hotel in Washington, was
filed today for probate.
II do not devise, or give, or be-
queath to any Of the children of
Mrs. Anna M. Bradley" is the langu-
age of the will. Il do not think either
or any child born to Mrs. Anna NJ.
Bradley Is mine. Whether such chill
dren are or are not, I expressly pro-
vide that neither or amy of them

ley and never intend to. If she
should pretend that any such relation
ever existed between us to justify
such interference. direct my execu-
TOR to contest any claims OF any kind
che may present, and I direct that
she receive nothing from my estate
The testator bequeaths all his
property, valued at or about $4,000,
to his two children by his first and
second wives, Alice Brown and Max
Brown.
The children so specifically disin-
herited are Arthur, aged seven, and
Mark, aged three years. The attor-
neys engaged by Mrs. Bradley's rela-
tives in Salt Lake decline to discuss
the will at this time. but there is
scarcely a question that a contest will
be instituted as much for the pur-
pose Of establishing their paternity
as to secure a monetary considera-
ton. This Is the more likely as Mrs
Rradley is, or was, few months ago,
in possession of letters signed in Mr..
Browns name, in which the rela-
lionship Of one or both of the chill
dren IL acknowledged. Ins one Of these
letters written after the birth of the
FIRST child occurs the quotation
Your blood with rhine conimlngled
shall mount the throne OF kings
The contents Of the will have caused
= sensation in Salt Lake. and given
rise to severe criticism of the dead
lawyer. The document was fled by
Max Brown, who Is named as execu-

KENTUCKY RACING
LAW Hello VALID
Commission Has the Right TO
Regulate Races in Blue
Grass State.
FEDERAL COURT RULING
PURPOSE OF THE ACT is TO
AVOID CONFLICTING DATES ON
TRACKS AND TO LIMIT RACING
IN GENERAL.
sss0 q 500 = -

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 2. - The Ken
lucky racing commission law was dc
cIared constitutional and the injunc-
ton against the racing commission
was dissolved and the case remanded
to the lower court FOR further proceed
ing by the United States circuit court
of appeals in this city. The decision
was announced by Judge Cochran.
The last legislature passed what IS
known as the racing commission law,
the purpose being TO avoid. conflicting
dates on tracks at the same place and
to limit racing in general, SO as TO
avoid too long meetings at any one
point The Douglas Park track at
Louisville brought suit against the
members of the racing commission IN
dividuaIly to restrain them from pre-
venting the holding Of race meeting
during the time set for a rival track.
The lower court granted the lnjunc-
ton, and the case was at once ap-
pealed.
This Injunction is now dissolved
and the law declared to be constitu-
tionaI, in long opinion in which all
the points raised in the lower court
were gone over 1t was held that by
the court review" provision OF the
law much that might be said against
it had been removed. Judge Cochran
said that the whole case turned on the
question Of the public welfare and
read decisions in other cases where it
had been held that limitations were
advisable and necessary in permitting
many kinds OF business, OF which rae
ing was one. Where a business may
be lawful the enforcement of lfmita-
tions may be harmful to some one en-
gagged in that business, but the point
of the public welfare would have to
govern AS to the motives that led to
the enactment of the present law, the
court did not find that these had been
improper, public welfare again being
the deciding point He discussed at
some length the evils arising from
betting on races and the maintenance
of pool rooms in connection with the
business, holding that some limitation
was proper and necessary, and that
this particular law was entirely fair
to all concerned

LAHM GETS $1,000 PRIZE

Paris, OCT. ALI the uncertainty
regarding the result of the balloon
race for the James Gordon Bennett
cup, started from here on Sunday
afternoon, was ended at noon Tues
day, when dispatch was received by
the Aero club announcing that the
Hon. G. S. Rolls and his companion,
Colonel Capper, in the balloon Brit
tania, landed at Sandringham Upland
at 6:3 Monday night, thus establish
ing that Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm,
Sixth cavalry, United States army,
the American competitor in the race,
who descended nea~ Whitby Monday
afternoon in the balloon United
States, is the winner. Signor Won
Willer, Italy, is second; Count De La
Vaulx, France, third, and the Hon. C.
S. Rolls, Great Britain, fourth.
Lieutenant Lahm's friends are en-.
thusiastic over his victory. With the
exception of Senior Salamanca, the
Spanish aeronaut, Lahm was the
youngest competitor Since his as
signment to the cavalry school at Sau-
muir, Lahm has devoted much atten-
ton to aerostatics and made dozen
ascensions during the summer. The
lieutenant took the place of his father
in the race, the latter, who is the best
known American aeronaut in Paris,
being called home on Saturday.
The beautiful cup presented for
competition by James Gordon Ben
nett, becomes trophy of the Aero
club of America. The first cash prize
of $4,000 goes to Lieutenant Lahm
and the endurance medal to Mr.. Rolls,
who was the longest in the air.
