SON0kA GIRL WON
OVER GREAT ODDS
PROVES HERSELF THE GREAT
EST GREEN MARE THAT EVER
PULLED A sULKEY.
Started Badly and Lost First Heat,
But Finally Got Away Good and
Won in a Walk Great Exhibition
Of Natural Speed.

Detroit, Mich, July 26.-Last
nights sun set on the greatest re-
newal of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' stake ever trotted. The
most remarkable exhibition of speed
ever known to the light harness turf
was won by Sonoma Girl on her cour-
age and speed, and she stamped her.
self the feetest Of her sex on parts
of the journey, If not for the whole
mile, when the supreme test comes
later in the season.
A threatening morning was fol-
lowed by an overcast afternoon, but
the clouds gave way to July bright
ness during the race, and the track
was lightning fast, the water under
the surface serving as cushion to
send the flying feet along in their
journey.
sonoma Girl closed the fayorite at
$1O0, Highball at $64 and the field
s26, and in some pools she ranked
$50 to $35 over the field. When they
scored the first time Sonoma Girl
was on the run, jumping and fight
ing as though mad and sour. Time
and again she acted badly, and there
was wild scramble among the bet
ters.
Driver Springer changed sulkies
and she went level, then buckeds and
jumped, and finally when the word
was given on the ninth score she was
ten lengths behind the rest of the
the field, though on the trot. High
ball, from the outside, shot to the
pole and the quarter in 80 seconds,
being ten lengths ahead at the half.
Springer got Sonoma Girl going on
the first turn and she ratified off the
middle half in 59A seconds, landing
in second place, but being unable to
catch Highball, both pulling up in
the stretch to let the others in. Next
4 :
time they got away on the third score
and rushed to the half in 1:00A,
where Highball had an open length
on the mare. AT the three-quarters
Springer set her going, and she
marched up to and by Highball as
though he was tied to a hitching
post. Such a fight of speed had
never before been seen, and when So
noma Girl got down the stretch
Springer pulled her until she was
jogging, in 2:06A, the second new
record for the stake and the world s
record for a green mare.
The third heat was a plain work
mile for sonoma Girl, sshe won at
every part Of it without a fast quar-
ter after the first one.

LAYS EMPHASIS UPON DENIAL
THAT ORCHARD HAS
IMMUNITY.
Darrow Finished His Eleven-H Hour
Final Plea For the Defense and a
Packed Courtroom Readily Waited
for Borah to Start.

Boise, Idaho, July 26.-T1le case of
the state of Idaho against William D.
Haywood, charged with the murder
of William D. Steunenberg, will rest
with the jury by Saturday. Clarence
Darrow, after speaking for eleven
hours, concluded the final plea for
Haywood's life at 4:20 p. m. yester-
day, and at z last evening Senator
Borah opened the closing argument
for the prosecution. He will speak
for three sessions, or about seven
hours. udge Fremont Wood will
charge the jury Saturday morning.
Z At least 1000 people were unable to
find seats in the courtroom last
night. Two hours before the time set
for the third session of the day an
audience composed entirely of Boise
people gathered to hear the speech of
the young man who was recently
elected to the United States senate
and has been assistant counsel for the
prosecution.
Aside from the unusually large
crowd in the courtroom and the large
number of women present, the scene
was much as it has been at each of
the sessions during the last eleven
I weeks. Mrs. Steunenberg, the widow
of the murdered governor, was in the
room for the first time. She occu
pied seat inside the railing, beside
her youngest son, Julian. Governor
Gooding, with number of the execu-
tive staff and large representation
of the state judiciary and bar, were
among the audience. Haywood was
surrounded by his counsel and his
wife. in her invalid chair, was, as
usual, by his side.
At the prosecutions table when
Senator Borah rose to speak were
3 seated the associate counsel, but Jas.
H. Hawley, leading counsel for the
state, was not in his place, owing to
serious Illness.
Senator Borah's speech was a sem
sation. From time to time he turned
on the counsel for the defense, fierce
denunciation pouring from his lips
and at times he brought protest from
Richardson and Darrow, but with
blazing eyes and hat words he siIenc-
/. ed every effort to break the rush Of
words. The climax was reached
when. in behalf Of the state Of Idaho,
Its people. Its governor and himself.
]. he disclaimed all intention or desire
to give immunity to Orchard. Finally,
his face pale and his voice quiyering
with emotion, the senator raised his
arm and said:
'If should ever join IN an attempt
to give immunity to this man, hope
the great God may wither this arm
in It's socket. 4 sssl

PAVING SCARE. ].

A Report Spread About That the
Foundation VIII Not Last, But
Contractor Hanlon Explains Why
It Is Up to Grade.

Since some city employees day be-
fore yesterday cut through the new
paving on Main street in front OF
the Wells block to repair leaking
water pipe, a number OF citizens have
expressed surprise at the crumbling
condition of the cement that serves
as the foundation for the paving,
"a number of persons have examined
the cement and have noted that 1t
.crumbles easily. They have express
ed the conviction that the founda-
stion viii not be durable and that at
no distant date the paving blocks, II
subjected to heavy travel, will settle
have consulted with several cement
men of the city who are reported TO
have asserted that the cement should
have been watered more instead OF
being exposed to the hot sun
The American interviewed Con-
tractor Hanlon yesterday evening on
the matter. He said that the cement
was In the same condition and Of the
same degree Of durability as he had
laid on other jobs and that he enter
tains no fears as to Its lasting pow
ers. He said that he had been In the
business for many years ard felt that
he was competent to Judge of the du-
rability8of the work. He was sure
that Aberdeen trafiic would never be
heavy enough to wear through the
cement. Said he:
There are always a lot Of curb
stone critics who are free to express
their opinion on matter Of which
they know nothing. Il would not be
afraid to move the Ward hotel down
Main street now. The paving was
tested pretty well on circus day when
the fifteen-ton circus wagon passed
over 1t, and they did not break
through. No, the cement foundation
is all right, and Aberdeen people, as
years go on, will find 1t durable. Be
sides the work is guaranteed to last
ten years. TheerS is no reason why we
should use poor cement. That would
not be good business for u.s. =

EXPRESS ROBBIE RsENTENcED.
Man Who Got $25,oo0 From Express
Office Sent to St. Cloud.

st. Paul, April 21.-John Gunedson,
the young man who held up Clerk Fred
Zimmerman in the office of the North
ern Express company at the union de-
pot Tuesday night and compelled him
to unlock the safe and deliver $4,000,
was yesterday given an indeterminate
sentence in the state reformatory at
st. Cloud instead Of term in the peni-
tertiary. The sentence was passed by
Judge Bum in the district court at 2
o'clock in the afternoon.
The leniency Of the court was prob
ably due to the fact that Gunderson
made a. clean breast Of the matter and
willingly showed the police where the
stolen money could be found. Chief
O'Connor spoke a good word for the
prisoner and told the court that in his
opinion Gunderson was acting in a
drunken rage when he committed the
robbery, as he was then smarting from
his recent discharge.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes ainful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this perio d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous limitations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation Of the heart,
Irregularities. constipation and dizzi-
