Horses at the County Fair.

There is great educational
value in the inspection of the live
stock exhibits at the county fair.
In the equine line the difference
in the breeds is accentuated to a
high degree. The mammoth
Percherons, weighing almost
ton, are imposing and magnifi-
cent, giving evidence of their
great strength and ability to per-
form the duties for which they
are most sought.
They are also riding and driv-
ing horses, high-bred animals
nervous and alert-full of fire and
dash. Other horses are shown
for their speed to the boot and
spur. These animals show
abnormal development along
certain lines and are a most
astonishing contrast to the
massive-built Percherons.
All the breeds and types are
interesting to spectors, and
doubly so to those devoted to
horses. A trip to the horse
barns on the fair grounds is we'll
worth taking in. There is some
thing to interest and instruct
everyone. To the fancier the
display indicates the great de-
velopment of the breeding in
dustry in Nebraska. There is
no reason why the best horses in
the world cannot be grown in
this state-and many people are
confident they can. The climatic
conditions are favorable and
there is no section of the country
with purer air or better and more
abundant food-stuffs.
There is something in the eli
mate that goes to build up the
bone of the animals and makes
them, especially the larger types,
the ideal horses for the popular
markets.
The exhibits at the fair indi-
Gates that many enterprising
residents Of Custer county are
going into the business of raising
thoroughbred equines and their
success, as we'll as the possibilities
of the industries is amply demon
strated by the splendid showing
at the fair.

MIR. BRYAN to be Heard.

The report that Mr.. Bryan will
announce his platform for 1908
when he rouses the Hoosier
Democracy may be dismissed as
a reflection upon his we'll known
views of the subserviency of any
Democrat, however great and
good, to his party. Mr.. Bryan
would not assume to dictate.
Parties make platforms, candi-
dates stand on them. 1t is a
secret 40 longer that Mr.. Bryan
is in a receptive mood with re-
gard to the Democratic platform
of 1908. He has views, but
would not thrust them upon the
party. Let sleeping dogs lie.
Mr.. Bryan is for harmony if he
must be a candidate. Should
any view he has not suit his
friends he will stretch a point
and drop it. All previous "key-
notes" are unauthorized. Mr..
Bryan will speak for himself at
Lafayette In November.

Railway Ruling in Penn. Does
Not Affect Georgia.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 13.-Vice Presi-
dent A. R. Lawton of the Central of
Georgia Ra:,way, who is also Of gen
eral counsel for the company, holds
with Chairman McLendon, of the
Railroad Commission, that the decis-
ion in Pennsylvania, holding the two
cent passenger rate in that State UNI
constitutional, does not necessarily
imply that there will be such rul-
ing in Georgia Colonel Lawton holds
that each State is a law unto itself
in this matter, and that because a de-
cision one way or another has been
handed down by the court of one State
it does not follow that similar de-
cision may be looked for in another
State.

first national association of baseball
clubs was formed. 1t was strictly an
amateur sport until 1868, when Mr..
Chadwick brought about the separa-
ton of baseball classes into amateur
and professional. The present Ma
tional and American leagues resulted,
with thousands of salaried players In
those leagues and the smaller ones.
1t is a part of baseball history that
Mr. Chadwick, who grew up in Brook
Ign, made up his mind in 1856, after
seeing a game of baseball at Hoboken,
n. j., that the game must become the
great national sport He tried to get
ested, but found little encouragement.
They would not print news about the
game. Finally the New York Times
agreed to run baseball matter prepared
by Chadwick. The city editors look
upon baseball quite differently now.
Mr.. Chadwick from time to time
brought about desirable changes in the
rules of the game through suggestions
in his newspaper work and by appeal
ing to the conventions of delegates
from the various clubs. His ambition
was to make it clean sport, eliminat-
ing all Objectionable features that crept
into the game. In this he has sue
ceeded well, baseball being by all
odds the cleanest sport in America.
Gambling, with poolrooms, bookmak-
ers and touts as it's necessary ad-
juncts, has made the sport of horse
racing disreputable. Baseball has been
kept free from such conditions and
largely through Father Chadwicks eff
forts. An elder brother of Mr.. Chad
wick was Sir Henry Chadwick, the
famous sanitary commissioner of Lon
don, who once remarked:
"While I have been trying to clean
London my brother has been keeping
mp the family reputation by trying to
clean American sports"
Mr.. Chadwick is now endeavoring to
improve the game by limiting the foul
strike rule. He holds that it is an
injustice to call strikes on a batsman
because he hunts foul.

AMERICAS RUBBERS

Early Risers and Late Revelers
See Monster.

Since cooler weather has set in the
comet visible a few weeks ago is
again upon the celestial stage, and
Americas people who sit up until )
and 4 a. m. now star gaze daily. The
comet will continue to be visible for
several nights, between these hours.
This is one if its regularly recurring
appearances. Though it is known to
be moving with great rapidity, the
distance at which it is frisking from
the earth is so enormous that several
DAYS will be required in its pass
ing.

ing. Henry Chadwick, writer
on the editorial staff of the
Brooklyn Eagle, is the father of the
national game He is eighty-three years
old, but so hale and hearty that he gets
up regularly at 5 o'clock, takes his cold
plunge, eats a light breakfast and does
his days work grinding out copy on
the typewriter as spryly as the young
est man In the business.
Father Chadwick still takes an init
mate interest in baseball, though he
does not care to attend the big league
games because there is SO much kick
ing from the field and from the grand
stand as well. He objects strongly to
the kicking and thinks it should be pre-
vented. Father Chadwick says he re-
Gently went to see game between the
New York and Chicago Nationals, but
left at the end of the sixth inning when
the crowd began to clamor. He has
fancy for college games, where there IS
less kicking, and never misses an OPP
portunity to see one Of these contests.
For twenty-six years Mr.. Chadwick
has been editor of the Official Baseball
Guide. Naturally he is an authority
on the game. When the managers or
players throughout the country want
a certain point decided they carry it up
to Mr.. Chadwick as to a court of last
resort
Whether baseball is distinctly Amer
lean in its origin is still in dispute.
A. G. Spalding holds that the game de-
veloped from lone old cat" a simple
pastime which was enjoyed by boys
in colonial days and still is played by
village schoolboys all over the country.
But Mr. Chadwick insists that baseball
grew out of the English game Of
FOUNDERS. According to the veteran,
FOUNDERS developed into town ball, and
town ball evolved into baseball.
By 1857 a game resembling the pres
ent baseball in its essential features
had become popular, having been
played for about fifteen years in New
York and other places. In 1857 the
