England,

Canton, O.-Money has come to
many persons in many ways, but few
in this big world have literally been
whipped into wealth. There is such
one-George Ward, of Resaca, Mad
ison county, Ohio-who, thanks to
hiding at the hands of women, has
come into 100000
George Ward citizen of Reseca, is
not held in high esteem by his neigh
bors. They have treated him to a
whipping twice already. The first
brought him nothing; the second the
half million.
Ward is so years old, a farmer,
with money in the bank, who, withal,
is woman hater. \ woman thought
she loved him, and Ward married her
several years ago. He took it out OF
his mother-in-law first; he was horse
whipped by the men of the village, as
we'll as tarred and feathered.
But when 1t comes to mother-in.law
most men are inclined to be lenient,
SO Ward was not molested further
But it was another story when word
reached the neighbors about the mans
treatment Of his dying wife.
Mrs Ward contracted tuberculosis.
During her sickness her husband was
anything but gentleness, so the neigh
bors say. Gossip grew louder and
louder, but nobody lifted a finger while
the woman was still alive. Finally she
breathed her last The husband fol
lowed the body to the grave.
When the last words We're said
Ward started back to his empty home
AS he was passing through the village

A dozen hands quickly slipped a moose
around Wards neck and he was held
helpless, while the others of the party
whipped the man almost to insensibil-
ity.
The whipping over they brought
red paint and liquid tar, which they
smeared all over his hair and whisk-
ers.
Then they let him go. The women
gave no clew to their identity at the

has advised with her az 20 the placing
Of some of his earnings, and she is as
happy as the boy that he has shown
good Judgment and business intelli-
gence In suggesting where certain
sums could be invested to good adyan-
tage There Is little reason to doubt
that his ambition to acquire for
tune by his efforts in the saddle will
be realized and realized handsomely.
Scores of boys try every year to be-
come successful Jockeys. Most OF
them fail Why is it, then, that Miller
ls a success? Is 1t because of his seat
In the saddle, his short stirrups, or
some other typical accessory to the
equipment OF his mount? This ques-
ton has been asked time and again.
tom" WEIGH places little credit IN
any Of these details.
Advantage in Method.
Miller says he perches himself well
up on a horses neck and rides with
short stirrups because he has great
or leverage on the horses head and
can guide him more perfectly
Il can feel the temper Of the horse
through his mouth when l have a stiff
rein on him over his neck" said the
jockey. IF ! were to ride In the old
fashioned English seat the horse S
head would get away from me, and
the chances are that I would miss
some good opportunities in the race
to gain distance"
1t was Tod Sloan who originated
the idea OF riding forward. Possibly
Miller carries it more to an extreme
than some jockeys, but he Is light
strong and has perfect confidence in
himself
For two years there has been
great rivalry between Miller and
Radtke The latter has been less sue
cessful, but is nevertheless considered
to be one OF the best boys who ride
professionally in the United States.
Radtke is of different temperament
than Miller. He is a somewhat fiery
little chap and rather self-willed. His
sharp replies earned him punishment
in 1906, but this year he has exer
cised better control over himself and
fewer words Of caution have had to be
administered to him. He is consid
cred to be very clever in making
a strong finish. Like Miller, he is
possessed OF much physical power In
his arms, and when a horse Is firing
In the last strides Of hard.fought
race, Radtke fairly lifts him along, as
he holds up his head and gives hin
encouragement to make the three
or four final leaps that may win q
stake worth thousands of dollars.
Good Judges Of Pace.
Koerner and Il. Dugan are two
clever lightweights who are skilful in
judging pace and placing their horses
TO good advantage in a field Of many
starters Both are able to rate the
speed at which they are moving by
constant association of intervals oil

posts are heavier. They usually find
little trouble In obtaining employment.
A number Of them are abroad this
year There Is Danny" Maher, for
instance, in England. He is one OF the
best American Jockeys who ever LETT
his native land to ride for foreign
stables He has been phenomenally
successful in England-so much so
that the richest owners are eager to
obtain him. He is riding his second
season for Lord Derby. Maher is the
only jockey now riding who has won
three English derbies. Ofitself that Is
a feat of sufficient Importance to estab-
fish his reputation in the turf world.
It is estimated that he will earn $780,
900 in the saddle this year. He com.
mands a high price, and owners are
as willing to pay it to him as they are
to Miller for they know that they are
securing a competent boy and one
upon whom every reliance may be
placed.
Other Successful jockeys.
Lucien Lyme, a jockey much ad
mlred In New York when he was In
the heydey of his success, is riding in
England. Possibly his earnings will
amount to $4,000. The English turf
men are willing to pay handsomely a
smart American boy
Fred" Taral, whom everybody
knows in America who knows about
race horses, has been riding in Austria
with remarkable success for the last
three or four years, and Is over there
again.
"Skeets" Martin rides in Hungary
with probable income Of $4,000 for
the year, and Tommy" Burns has
been engaged by a German stable and
is likely to receive not less than $751;.

THE n. p. HAS a "CINCH."
All Its Land Grants Were Long Ago
Legally Patented.

Mlsapprehension of the nature OF
the contract between the government
and the Northern Pacific Railway
company in the matter of the land
grants to the latter, and ignorance OF
| the fact that the government has pat
ented lands of the subsidy to the rail-
road company have led many people
into the error of assuming that be-
cause the railroad land department re-
fuses to sell any of its lands in this
land district at this time trouble is
brewing between 1t and the national
government, says a Yakima paper.
This is not the case. however. The
lands of the grant in this district have
already been patented to the compa-
ny; hence there can be no further
trouble over that feature of the af-
fair.
The fact that the company, in view
of the rapid increase in the value OF
farm lands in this district, has with
drawn its lands from sale. That ap-
pears to be all there is of 1t. Register
Coleman of the United States land
office in this city, knows no conten-
ton between the government and the
railway people, nor does he know Of
any occasion for 1t. The withdrawal
of the railroad lands is a private bus
mess affair of the company.
II the nature of the contract be-
tween the government and the COM
pany were like that in the govern
ment's grant of lands to the o. R, &
N. company In oregon in which 1t is
specified that the company shall sell
it's lands under certain restrictions to
actual settlers at government price
of lands in that district, there might
be some substance in the rumor that
there Is trouble between the COM
pany and the government; but 1t is
said on fairly reliable authority that
such a stipulation is not part of the
contract in the case Of the land grant
in this district.

A shortage In the supply of fruit
lars this season has been the direct
cause Of the loss of many thousand
dollars to fruit producers. For in
stance, In the peach market, sup
plies have been very liberal the last
few weeks, but there has been little
movement in the market. While the
public wanted peaches 1t could not
obtain the Jars to put them away and
the fresh fruit consumption has not
been great enough to take care Of
the arrivals. According to whole
salers the receipts of fruit jars in this
market this season were not a quar-
ter of what they were year ago,
while the demand was several times
as great. one wholesale firm which
usually receives four or five cars of
Jars every year to supply its regular
trade, received two cars this year,
one of them arriving the other day.

for a couple of months yet, and the
electric current which will be gem
Grated at the plant for transmission

Few Men Are Enlisting.

Contrary to expectations the clos

of men willing to enlist in the army
says a Spokane item. There have
been but three. enllstments during
october up to the present time. 1t
had been held by station representa-
tives that the great demand for la
Dor to save the crops was responsible
for the increasing shortage of appli-
cations at recruiting stations, and that

be natural inclination toward the
army. It was pointed out, however,
yesterday that there is still hope,
