Rumored Plot to Switch Succession.

communication emanating from the re-
form party at Constantinople appears In the
Paris newspapers asserting that the health
OF the Sultan of Turkey. although momen-
tarily improved, is gradually failing, and
that fatal termination may be expected
shortly. 1t is added that Abdul Ha:nid is
fully aware OF his condition and desires
to secure a successor who will follow out
his policy. He Is said to consider the heir
presumptive. his brother. Mohammed Re-
chard. too liberal, which view is support
ed by his majesty's encourage. The con1qnu-
nication also says that plot is going on in
the palace In which Abdul Hands advis-
ers and religious chiefs OF the Mohammed-
ans are conniving at the disinheritance of
Mohammed Richard, who will be declared
incapacitated by illness from succeeding to
the throne. The sultan will then proclaim
his seventh son. Mohammed Burhan-E Ed
dine. who was born in 1885. his successor.
1t is pointed out that the latter ia in com
plete accord with his fathers policy. which,
the reformers say, would mean a con-
tfnuation OF the present regime OF terror
and massacre"

Jack Chinn's Man Licks Bull.

Eldred Morgan, a negro handler, en-
ployed by Jack Chinn Of Harrodsburg, KY,
to show his cattle, licked a bull at the
Harrodsburg fair yesterday. The bull and
one belonging to Maj. David Castleman
were about to mix 1t up, Col. Chinn's bull
being the aggressor. Morgan succeeded in
getting him away from Maj. Castleman's
animal. but he turned on Morgan. First
Morgan lodged and got only a slight
scratch, but at the second charge the bull
got Morgan and he fell fiat upon the
ground. The bull began to gore him and
before the excited people could realize what
was happening the negro was torn and
bleeding, but he managed to get away.
After taking a rest Morgan seized the
bull by the nose and jumped upon his neck.
The bull stumbled and fell to the ground.
Morgan kicked the animals head so Wig
orously that 1t was soon ready to quit. A
great shout went up from the grandstand
for the negro.

DAN PATCH'S
GREAT MILE

GALESBURG. ILL.,. August 22.-The fea-
ture of the opening of the trotting meeting
here yesterday was the wonderful mile
paced by the champion, Dan Patch, In
1.57%. He was driven by his trainer, Her
sey and Charles Dean drove the pace
maker with the wind shield. while another
pacemaker brought up OF the outside.
After a warming up mile in PIP Patch
got the word to a slow start and paced the
first quarter In 31A seconds. When the
timers hung out the sign for the half In
100 the 10000 persons in the stand raised
a mighty shout. Down the back stretch
came the powerful fellow. and the three
quarter pole was passed In 1.2Sh.
The crowd had swarmed on the track
and II took the entire police force of Gales
burg to keep them from interfering. Dan
came on, however. and with one OF his
supreme efforts crossed under the wire In
l.67%, the fastest mile ever paced on a
track IN Illinois.

year is attributed to the rigiditys Of the
food inspection here, especially with regard
TO milk and fruits OF all sorts. Many toms
Of over-ripe fruit have been discovered and
condscated by the health board inspectors
this summer. There has been q well-or-

Navy's Wireless improvements.
improvements in the navy's wireless tele-
graph facilities along this section Of the
Atlantic seaboard are going forward rapid
~ and 1t is expected that soon Secretary
Bonaparte will be able 10 communicate in
two or three minutes with a ship anywhere
within two or three hundred miles Of the
entire Atlantic seabeard. The wireless sta
creased in power fifteen times. SO that mes
sages may be sent overland and direct to
the navy yard and the Navy Department at
Washington. When the contempiateo
the government will have a complete work
ing chain OF stations from Galveston to the
coast Of Maine, with fine connections win
all naval stations.
Is in removing the navy station now at
Montauk Point to Fire Island. This being
done the station at Atlantic Highlands on
the Jersey coast will be discontinued as an
unnecessary link in the chain. It has been
demonstrated that messages can be Gent
more surely from the Brooklyn navy yard
to Fire Island than to Montauk Point. In
tervening hills make the overland service
quite dfficult. and for this reason communi-
cation to Montauk has failed just at the
most critical stages. 1t is now practically
impossible to send wireless messages from
the local navy yard to Newport. where the
Atlantic fleet so often makes Its headQuar-
tiers. Messages can. however, be easily
transmitted to Fire Island, and thence to
Newport. Even under the most adverse
weather conditions this connection has been
made.

N. LINTON WILL SOON PUT AN
ADDITION ON THE MARKET

AS stated by Maverick last week,
N. Linton had decided to leave
early in November for Los Angeles,
to remain there. With this end in
view, he sold eighty acres of his
quarter section of land to some Da-
kota people who were here at the
time, and was negotiating for the
sale of the other eighty. But Mon
day he and ]. H. Garrett came to
an understanding about a tract of
land adjoining the city limits on
the south, which Mr.. Linton has
been trying to buy for several
months past. He bought it, paid
for it, and Civil Engineer Rhoades
is now plating it.
Readers of Maverick will be
pleased to learn that Mr.. Linton
has rearranged his plans and will
remain here.
This addition will be placed on
the market at an early day and
the owner will give the sale of lots
his personal attention. He will
make of this one of the most attrac-
tive residence sections of the town.
1t is close in and has every physi-
cal attraction that could be desired.
! In order to have it quickly built
upon and improved early buyers
will be given alluring inducements,
and novel feature will probably
be introduced into the sale.
Mr.. Garrett says he let the
property go at a rank sacrifice,
because he didn't want to see Sc
good a citizen leave Mountain
Home; that this particular tract
was the pride of his heart and he
sold it for a mere song, for the
good of the community Mr.. Lin.
ton, of course, declares that ht
paid every cent the land is worth
and further alleges that Garrett''
smooth talk resulted in holding ou
for himself five of the most valuabl,
lots in the addition.
Anyway, this thing of selling
and buying property for the good o
the community is wise policy t,
pursue, one that other propert,
holders should adopt, that the towl
may grow and thrive. ''Improv
your property, or sell to some on
who WILL, - would be pretty goo
motto for Mountain Home people t
adopt.

COAL SITUATION HERE
REACHES ACCUTE STAGE
Citizens Insist on Having Fuel and Railroad
Company Spots One Gar for
Distribution.

Last week Justice Swan fined
Nat Whitney eight dollars for taxi
ing coal from Short Line cars. He
had to do it. AS was stated in
these columns last week, railroad
detectives caught him in the act
and secured a warrant for his ar
rest. Had he demanded a jury trial,
he would possibly have been ac-
quilted.
The coal famine has become acute
during the past week, since the
evenings have become cool and fires
are necessary for comfort. Dealers
can't get a pound delivered there
is simply nothing doing. Rail road
officials will give no explanation,
as to why they persistently refuse
to haul coal for private parties. In
effect, they act like the Chink when
you make kick to him. He does
not want to, pretends not to under
stand, and, with expressionless face,

Specializing About That Railroad.

The general public is anxious tc
learn more definite news about the
sale of the San Francisco, Idaho &
Montana railroad to James ]. Hill.
While the offer made by President
Hill, of the Great Northern, to
stockholders owning majority in
terest in the S. F. * M. property
has been accepted by wire, it is
known that the Gould interests
own large interest in the road,
and they will not be thrown down.
The acceptance of the Hill offer, it
is learned, was made with the UNI
derstanding and upon the intima-
tion of Mr.. Hill that the sale is
satisfactory TO Gould. The Hill
transfer has uncovered who the real
party is that has been backing the
Butte Frisco road. 1t is no
longer secret that the Gould
people had contracted to take the
bonds and furnish the funds as rap
idly as they might be needed. An
other significant fact has developed
through the recent negotiations
that the S. f.. l. & M. road has
/ purchased steel rails for 90 miles
OF road for immediate delivery.
And officers of the road admitted
that rails for immediate delivery
could not be obtained from the roll
ing mills, but that they had been
bought from another road, and that
orders had been placed with the
mills to replace those bought. Ar
rangements had been concluded
whereby the company was guaran-
teed all the steel rails needed, to
be delivered as rapidly as required.

CONflSCATES IMPURE FOOD
SOLD BY UTAH CONCERN

A. F. Hit, state pure food and
dairy commissioner, returned Sat-
urday night from trip to Mont
pelier and intermediate points. He
was absent about 10 days. At
Montpelier he condemned and con-
fiscated large quantity of French
peas, which were sold by prom
inent Utah company. While on
a recent trip to Fremont county he
confiscated quantity of goods sold
by this house, and shortly after
wards received a very curt letter
from the house demanding that in
future grocerymen be allowed to
return such goods, so that they could
be sold elsewhere. Mr.. Hit re-
piled that he would not only con-
tinue to confiscate such goods
wherever found, but on his next
trip would confiscate a large guam
tity of goods sold by the firm which
are improperly labeled.
On his outward trip he observed

manded possession of all there was
in stock on the car. The steward
refused to give them up until he
produced his credentials. The in
cident caused much favorable com
ment among the passengers.
Mr.. Hit says that around Pari:

So exasperating has the situation
become that good citizens have been
seriously discussing the plan of 60
ing in force to the yards, cut out a
car Of coal, divide it into small lots
among those in need, collect the
price and trun the money over to the
company.
Monday President Clays, of the

the agent here, told him of this
movement and insisted that the
company not drive the citizens Of
this town to adopting such a dis
tasteful policy. There was consid-

finally authorized the agent to hold
out car and sell it in 1000 pound
lots. This was done Yesterday and

Work on Atlanta Road.

AS was stated in these columns
last week, the county commission
ers rejected all bids for keeping in
repair the road between here and
Atlanta, which constitutes four
road districts. Instead, they en-
ployed Amador Galindo by the day
to go to work on the road, with
instructions to pu- it in good con-
dition. He will hire such men as
he can work to advantage. Fur
thermore, the four road districts
were consolidated into one. II they

trict can, under the provisions of
the law, meet December a, elect a
road overseer and take the matter
into their own hands. 1t is nee
essory, however, for them to meet
on that date.
