And in the running and winning OF
this classic of the Kansas turf. The
Bear proved himself to be one of the
really remarkable running horses of
the age. even although his engage
ments have not been on the race
courses where only the kings" and
queens of the turf are supposed to
amble-
A worlds record was made by The
Bear in his great race of yesterday,
which was really a great race only be
cause of the time that was made, for
there was hardly any doubt as to its
result almost from the drop of the
flag And when a horse race is not in
doubt there is little interest in it, I'M
less something of the unusual occurs
The unusual did occur The Bear ran
the mile in 1:41 4 This is quarter
of a second faster than the best rec
ord ever made by q runner for mile
On a half mile track 1t beats the
Kansas Derby record of 1:44A made
last wear by Clear knight a horse
also owned by Mr.. Lawrence, by 3 Il
seconds
There was nothing 10 the race from
specta cular standpoint. as running
races are wont 70 be- except for the
marvellous time which was made, not
only by The Bear but by Dr. Nash. the
second horse across the line. who was
lengths and lengths behind the winner
al the finish. DR.. Nash was timed for
thu mile in 1:42 -. which is two sec
onds faster than the old Kansas Derby
record.

GOLFERS SUES POST.
ProDEfetors and Editor Ask Damages
Amounting to S75O,OOO.


New York. Sept. 11.-Papers have
been served on c. w. Post of Battle
Greek. Mich. president of the Postum
Cereal company Ltd. nnanufa cturars
Of Postum and .Grape-Nuts', and
Bradley Garreoson- the New York
manager of the company, in a suit for
three-auarters of a million dollars
damages brought against the company
by the prODrietors and the editor of
: Golfers Weekly.
The compliments allege that an adj
Yetisement signed by the company and
printed widely in newspapers through
out this country and Europe September
4 was Hbelous. There are three com
plainants Peter F. Collier. Robert Col
lier. the owners of the magazine and
Norman F. Hapgood. the editor, each
asking for one-Guarter of a million
dollars damages
The trouble started over an editorial
which appeared in Golfers for July
81. II Rad IN part:
zone widely circulated paragra phi
labors to include the impression that
Ora pe-Nuts will obviate the necessity
of an operation for appendicitis. This
is lying and potentially. deadly lying.
Similarly Postum continually
makes reference to the Endorsement of
inent health official persons as myth
zeal, doubtless. as they are mysteri-
GUS
Mr.. Post replied in a half column
him $4,000 TO have printed The par
ticular paragraph to which the Col
Tiers and Mr. Hapgood object. read:
When a journal wilfully prOSti-
tutes its columns to try and harm a
reputa bic manufacturer in an effort to
force him to advertise. il is time the
public knew the facts. The owner or
editor of Golfers Weekly can not
force money from US by such meth
DDS"
Taking I'd the statements made in
Golfers editorial with reference to the
legitimacy of the medical indorse-
ments of GraEe-Nuts and Postum, Mr.
Pests advertisement said: We are
here TO wager Golfers Weekly or any
other skeptic or liar. any amount Of
m oney they care to name, and which
they care to cover. that we will pro-
duce proof to any board of investiga-
tors that we have never yet published
an advertisement announcing the opin-
ion of a prominent physician or
health official on Postum or Grape
Nuts when we did not have the actual
letter in our possession
The com claimants declare that the
contract with the Postum company
was broken of by themselves after a
long correspondence with the COM
pany. in which it practically pleaded to
have the advertising continued.

Washington last night. Mr. Gompers
declared he would do anything in his
power or make any personal sacrifice
to bring the strike to an end.
Il came here" he said, Ito see
whether / could not do something to
bring about an honorable settlement
of the strike. I met Mr.. Small and
Mr. Thomas and talked over with
them the possibility of peace and fin
anciaI support from the federation of
labor in case the strike should be pro-
Iorged There will be no uncondi-
tional surrender by the strikers That
is certain. The strike should be ami
cably settled now 1t would be the
if the strike were fought to a finish. 1t
would be bad for the public, bad for
the strikers and bad for the telegraph
companies. In such an event there
would be much bitterness on both
sides Bad feeling would be avoided
If the strike were settled now by an
agreement between the companies
and the operators. Therefore I am
willing to do anything in my power to
bring about peace"
