death of the noted mare Lassa, which
slipped on the ice while going from
her stable to the watering tank and
broke one Of her hind legs, and had to be
destroyed. Lassa was for many years used
on the snow path in the vicinity Of Bos-
ton, was famous road mare in her day
and is credited with half mile In fifty
nine and a half seconds. Lassa was heavy
with foal when she was destroyed. Her
only living foal owned in this vicinity Is
two-year-old, by Capitano, 2:24A, which
Mr.. Brahle owns, and which he will train
some the coming summer.
Representative-elect Samuel Mcmillan of
the twenty-first district of New York was in
the city during the week looking after the
interests of some of his constituents. While
here he took ride over the new speedway

fine a course built at so little expense Mr..

and is clever reinsman. For the past
few years his duties have been such that
he has not been able to indulge in his ia
vorite pastime. Now his health Is such
that he Is compelled to seek out-or-door
recreation-a recreation that prolonged the
lives of the late Leland Stanford, Robert
Bonner and Commodore Vanderbilt.
r. 2. Beale, jr., writes The Star from
Berwyn, Nd, that he is the owner Of a
very promising mare by Forest Wilkes that
paced a half for him last fall with very
little work in LIT. Her dam Is Little Splan,
mare well known on the grand circuit
upward Of a quarter Of century ago. Mr.
of Little Span. 1t is to be regretted that
the sire and dam of Little Splan are un-
traced, and the chances now are that they
will ever remain SO, although efforts were
made during Little Splans lifetime to trace
her breeding.
The story goes that along In the late
seventies or early eighties the celebrated
trainer and driver, John Splan, was driving
along road In Ohio when his attention

By L. D. Sale.

Weather conditions have been such dur
Ing the past week that all the trotting that
has been done has been chiefly around the
stove. Most of the fast miles have been
around the baseburner, and at times the
pace has been so hot that it has been hard
TO determine which was the notes.-the
stove or the pace. Perhaps the fastest
miles negotiated were those by one DIR.

Union, and who has rung more horses and

is more, the doctor is proud of the fact
and does not hesitate to tell you how he

times.

thirty eight years as the records show.

MENcEMENT EXERCISES.
REV. HARTLEY GIVES ADDRESS
Seventeen Members of Graduating
Glass and Several Former Gradu-
ates Are Honored-Features
.. of Memorable Occasion.

The last and most interesting of the
functions of commencement time in
the three colleges of the city were the
graduating exercises of the Senior
class of 1907 at Penn college, Wednes-
day morning. The event was the
GROWING feature of an important week
in the history of the college. The ca
pacity of the chapel was much too
small to accommodate the hundreds
of people who were in attendance, and
while every seat and aisle was filled,
the crowd extended out into the halt
and scores of people were unable to
find even standing room.
The chapel was daintily decorated
with flowers and streamers of maroon
and white, and a background of green
with a pretty arrangement of tna fig,
ures 1907" in front of which were
seated the graduates in their caps and
gowns.
The address of the day was given by
Reuben Haines Hartley, ID. D., pastor
of Westminster Presbyterian church
Grand Rapids. Mich, member of the
Penn alumni of the class of 'S5. He
did not make any attempt along the
line of Renaissance, and his address
was refreshing and a relief from that
ordinarily heard at sucn occasions
His thoughts were based on "The Av,
erage Man"
A great honor he considered it to be
able, after years OF experience in life
under the A. B. and A. M. degrees, to
be qualified for what ne considered
would be a fitting degree to give to
every competent man, that of A. H..
the latin abbreyiatlon for the Aver.
age Man" Those VINO are worthy Of
snen a degre he believed should honor
the title as Tie title honored them. for
no greater force can be exerted in this
world than by the average man with

1t is our prediction that Keokuk will

at the end of the season. Since
Hughes has taken management of the
team new life has come into the men
and they are playing as good bali as
any other team in the league.
1t is said that there are a number of
candidates for the presidency of the
Iowa League, left vacant on account
of the death of President L. S. Peck
ham. Egan of Burlington thinks Frank
Norton, who was president of the

for president again. D. L. Hughes, OF
Keokuk, is also slated as a candidate.

UNION TOWNSHIP ROAD.

The Union township road case was
before the board of supervisors yes
terday. 1t seems that Messrs. Kisor
and Cnew, residents of the township,
wish to have a piece of a road about
eighty rods in length which runs by
their property vacated. Other resi-
dents of the township nave filed re
monstrances and it was taken before
the board OF supervisors yesterday to
settle. No action, however. was TAX
en- by the board, as it was found That
they had no jurisdiction in the matter.
The case was filed for the April SEES
sioa Of the board. but on account OF
the heavy work they were unable to
get to it. The case occupied the at.
tention Of the board of supervisors and
others interested in the case all after
noon. Four lawyers we're in tne case
and fluent flow Of oratory was vast

BASE BALL
Could Not Hold the ouakers.

Burlington, June 12.-After mailing
the game and clinching it and double
locking it, Burlington dropped it again
to Oskaloosa yesterday, through a
combination OF circumstances that can
be explained in no other way except
that Burlington was overcome by the
heat. Four scores we were to the
good and then the visitors forged up
and passed us under the wire with
four runs to spare. .t-.'..E. .......
In order to get out of the mole al
most the entire pitching staff of the
local team was utilized in one capacity
or another. But it seemed that the
visitors refused to be headed off and
whenever they got on first base, it
usually meant a run. The fifth inning
was really the Jonah inning. Hanson
went in to relieve Els. In the third
the visitors got three hits and two
earned runs off Els and Manager Egan
thought 1t best to take MIN out. Han,
son was substituted, but he was hope
lessly cross-eyed as far as home plate
was concerned, walking three men
and hitting another. Pete Mcmillan
was rushed to the rescue, but the
Quakers had their batting clothes on
by this time aad touched Pete up
alarmingly. 1t was evidently an off
day for all the rabbits feet. morse.
shoes and other omens of goodIuck,
because after the first three innings
everything broke wrong for us.
