The Toe Nails.

Owing to the friction and pressure. to
which toe nails are exposed in all per
sons who wear boots or shoes there is
a great tendency to thickening on the
underpart of the free growth, the por-
ton of the nail that extends beyond the
toe point. This thickened part some
times gets pressed against the flesh,
and then very painful corns result.
The preventive treatment is to keep
the nails cut short and to remove the
rather soft thickened parts with a
blunt pocket knife or scissors blade.

Saratoga Springs, preliminary TO the
great racing meet which opens Mon
day. is on today While interest IN
the contest of thoroughbreds at the
Spa is not so pronounced as in some for
mer years, due in part TO the rival
meet a. the Empire City track, near
Yonkers, also beginning Monday,
large number of New Workers will be
in evidence at the springs from
August TO 30, the dates assigned the
session. The great feature will be
the Saratoga handicapy, valued at
$4,000, in which Peter Pan, the
Brighton handicap winner, and numer-
Gus other fast horses will do the mile
and a quarter stunt.
The gambling which was once the
attraction for thousands of sports
from all over the country will be only
a memory during the coming racing
season at the Spa. The authorities
have announced in definite terms that
those who desire to WOO the goddess
of chance by means of cards and
wheels will have 70 go elsewhere.
! Not only have the gilded palaces been
| closed, but the "5iind tigers" as the
| partially concealed gambling parlors
are termed by the gaming fraternity
| will not be allowed to run as IN past
| years. It is admitted that some
sneak games'-the name given tc
private card and roulette parties
where every player is known to the
| dealer-may succeed in eluding the
vigilance, but harsh treatment awaits

The Sneak Games"
/ The authorities say it is next to i'm
possible to entirely stamp out the
sneak games" but that they intenC
to do their best to accomplish tina
end. When a delegation of citizen:
recently called upon Governor Hughe!
to put an end to gambling at Sara
toga, he made no promises, taking the
stand that it was not necessary II
officially request him to do what tn
constitution points out as his duty
1t is known, however, that the gov
ernor has put a bug in the ears o
the district attorney and sheriff o
Saratoga, and this may have some
hitting to do with their declaration
that they will make raids and arres
all offenders if the least sign of gamt
ling manifests itself during the com
ing meet.
The racing at the Empire tracl
? during the Saratoga season will keel
away hundreds who have made it
custom in the past TO journey to tn
watering place, and some of the resi-
dents of Saratoga who believe in
wide open town are beginning L
worry about the future. The season
at Saratoga this year would other

his time away from here in that city
and to good advantage. Mrs. Miller
the st. Louis woman, who was swim
died by him lived at one time at
Columbia, Mo. She answered an ad-
vertisement in a paper which told of
man with plenty of money who was
stopping in Topeka that had matri-
monial tendencies. Correspondence
writing several letters to Miller in
this city before she met him. A meet
ing was finally arranged and resulted
in their marriage at st. Louis, cou-
pie of weeks ago.
Miller" who in reality was Duffy
owner and operator. After their mar
riage Miller secured from his bride
$3.50 under the plea that he needed
that sum Immediately to buy mining
consisting of large diamond ring and
diamond earrings, and other valu-
ables. just before he left her. Con-
siderable OF this money was in cash
and the rest in checks signed AIDE
laide Miller and made payable to H.
E. Miller, Duffy cashed one of these
checks for a considerable sum in this
city and his wife cashed another one
at one of the banks in the city.
1t did not take long for the st.
Louis woman to realize that she had
been duped and stories of her "heec-
ing" appeared in the st. Louis papers.
These were seen by the sheriff's Off
GERS. They had their eyes on Duffy
for the last couple of days and 1t did
not take them long to get positive in
formation that he was the man who
had posed as "H. E. Miller" and mar
ried the st. Louis woman. They got
this information yesterday and imme-
diately wired the st. Louis authorities,
but. as stated. have received no word
from them as yet and this is consid--
cred trifle strange.
Soon after his return to this city
Duffy paid off the $3.50 mortgage on
his horses and made arrangements to
have them shipped west. He left for
the west himself last night and it looks
as though his wife intended to follow
him as soon as possible. If the neces-
sary word comes from st. Louis 1t is
possible that she could be held.
A story is going the rounds that
some months ago Duffy "f1eeced" a
Topeka woman of a considerable sum
OF money and that she was so cha
grined over it she not only did not re-
port the matter to the police but that
she left town practically penniless.

DROPS OUT OF SIGHT.
Leaves Suddenly When Victim

Officers Wait for Instructions
From st. Louis Officials.

Up to a late hour this afternoon no
word had been received at the sheriff's
Office from the authorities of st. Louis
or from Mrs. Adelaide Miller of that
city asking the peace officers here to
take any steps towards holding III. E.
Miller the Topeka man, who is
charged with having "heeced" the St.
Louis woman out of $3.50 in cash,
some valuable diamonds and other
jewelry- Nor was any word received
by the sheriff from Mrs. Miller stating
whether or not she wished to levy on
any of the property that might belong
to MILLER" In this city or in the
possession of his family for the pur-
pose of recovering a part at least of
the money and property out of which
she was defrauded. Until some word
is received by the sheriff's office from
the st. Louis authorities or from Mrs.
Miller, 1t will not be possible for them
to act in the premises. and even if
word should be received to place
MILLER" under arrest, 1T will now ar
rive too late.
For Miller" whose right name is
NJ. I. Duffy, and who is a horse train
er by occupation, left the city last
night, bound for the west and proba-
bly, for California. He has been MAX
ing his home of late with his wife and
family at No. 1911 Fillmore street and
the activity of Mrs. Duffy around the
house today would lead to the natural
conclusion that she was preparing to
follow her husband. Three horses
that Duffy owned, and which he has
stabbed at the fair grounds are being
prepared for shipment to some point
in the west.
Duffy arrived in this city last fall

and set up stable at the fair
grounds. Some local horses were en-
trusted to his care but not for long
because the persons who had left
them with Duffy did not like his
methods of doing business. Duffy was
an agreeable sort of a chap and made
a good many friends here. He seemed
to be fairly well supplied with the
worlds goods when he first reached
town. When it got to point where it
low he left the city and returned
shortly afterwards with another sup
ply Of money. This occurred on two
or three occasions and people became
"a trife suspicious of him.
?. An evidence that his finances were
weeks ago when he mortgaged his
three horses at the race track for
$3.50. Shortly afterwards he left town.
This was about three weeks ago. and
he did not return until a few days ago
when he had more than an abundant
supply of money with him. He also
had some diamonds and jewelry and
his wife has been wearing the dia-
monds during the past few days. This
fact alone caused comment in the
neighborhood. as she had never worn
such valuable jewelrv before

the name of ''H. E. Miller" put in
