Keene's Three. Year. Old Wins
Premier Racing Event
at Sheepshead
King James, Second; Fairplay
Third 10000 People
Witness Event

New York, N. Y, June 19.--Ba1lot,
the sturdy four-year-old son Of Vot-
er, at Sheepshead bay, today carried
the famous white with blue polka
dot colors of James r. Keen to vic
tory in the suburban handicap, the
premier racing event Of the United
States. He won with ease by two
and a half lengths.
Struggling gamely forward at the
finish came James e. Madden's three
year-old colt, King James, hard driv-
en- by Guy Burns, five lengths before
Fairplay, the pride Of August Bel
mont's stable. Master Robert was
fourth. The time for the mile and a
quarter was 1908, being 1-5 of a sec
ond slower than the worlds record
for the distance, made by Broomstick
at Brighton Beach, July 8, 1904.
Enforcement of the new law
against betting had its effect upon
the attendance, for not more than
20, 900 persons passed through the
gates to witness the classic race.
Twelve horses faced the barrier for
the $4,000 stakes, ana the honor
of winning the race. Ballot was a
favorite at s to 5, with Master Rob-
ert second choice at 4 to 1. King
James ruled at 6 to and Fairplay
at Z to /.
Ballot delayed the start FIVE min
utes, and when the barrier rose
King James broke in front with
Master Robert second, Tourenne
third and Ballot fourth. For fur
long King James kept the lead, al
though Ballot was passing those in
front of him, and bearing down upon
the leader.
| Passing the furlong pole, the Vot-
ers colt took command and thence
forward it was easy sailing for him.
| AT the wire Ballot was the easiest
kind of winner and King James as
easily defeated Fairplay for second

The twentieth running of the first
portion of the double event for two.
year-oldr was won in a handy fash
ion by Fayette, with Star Martin
second. Esperanto finished third.
There was considerable betting on
/ the races today. 1t was easier to
lay wager than on any previous
day since the new anti-betting law
went into effect because the counsel
for the Coney Island Jockey club
early in the day secured an injunc-

nomination Of Sherman Such a pic

rose to do him homage, has seldom

with perspiration, his collar had melt

open, exposing crumpled shirt, and
the sleeves of his black alpaca coat
curled up about his dangling cuffs
to his elbows, as his waving arms en-
phasized his ringing words for his

From the outburst of enthusiasm
which greeted every mention of Sher-
mans name it was plain that the
mind Of the convention had been
made up and that the decision had
only to be recorded.
But for a moment there was a halt

Republican party goes before the
country, united in one last mighty
outburst of enthusiastic tribute to
the men who will bear forward the
standard in the struggle between now
and November.
Another inspiring picture was pre-
sented as the convention named its
candidate flor vice president today.
Enormous throngs had waited
through an hour of oratory, swelter-
in id the. heat-laden atmosphere, pack
ed as before in solid masses of hui
manly, with only here and there a
few vacant spots in remote galleries,
the delegates in the broad arena be-
low, bright hued lines of femininity
in .eiFcling galleries, and over all the
enveloping folds of old Glory.
From the outset it was distinctly a
Sherman crowd, with the galleries al
ready trained into choruses of Sher-
man songs, the invading host of Sher-
man marchers with huge portrait
of the New York candidate, starting
the echoes ringing.
4 Among the early arrivals on the
floor was Speaker Cannon, only yes
terday candidate for president, but
today here as a pillar Of strength in
the Sherman movement. The wide
spread affection for the old war horse
OF the party was shown by the
crowds OF delegates surging about
himato grasp his hand and bid him
welcome.
The preliminaries were brief. and at
1o:s0 the nominating speeches for
vice president began, with limit Of
ten minutes to each speaker.
On the call of states Delaware
yielded to New York, and former
Lieutenant Governor Timothy L.

FATALITY
Occurs in Pennsylvania Mine
Explosion Whereby
Three Are Dead

Monongahela, Pa. June 19-T Three
miners are dead, two others perhaps
fatally burned and fifteen entombed,
many of whom are supposed to be
dead from an explosion at the ELS
worth No. mine of the Pittsburg
Coal company, here today. OF the
victims taken from the mine, John
Beal is the only one identified. The
others are foreigners whose feat
ures were too scorched to be recog-
nized. Two burned men were hur-
ried to the hospital here where it
was said they would probably die.
Little is known as to the cause Of
the explosion. 1t occurred when but
80 miners were working, the day
shift having left off working. or
this number fifteen were near the
mouth OF the slope and rushed out
before the fierce explosion reached
them. Little is known here about
the men in the mines, but most of
them are thought to have persisted
in the fumes which are still so
strong that rescuers cannot enter far
into the slope.
Later reports are to the effect
that all the men are out of the mine,
the total number of victims being
ten. three of whom are dead. The
injured men are at the hospital here
terribly burned.

Federal Judge Reed at Fargo
Fines Peterson Mere.
Co. $1,000
MOOrhead Wholesale Liquor
Dealers Sold Booze to
N. D. Indians

Fargo, June 10. The Peterson
Mercantile company, a wholesale liq-
nor corporation Of Moorhead, plead
ed guilty in federal court this morn
ing to the charge of selling liquor
to Indians in Rolette county and
Judge Reed fined them 5000 on each
of the counts to which they pleaded
guilty, making total fine Of $1,000.
Il Attorney G. A. Nye Of Moorhead,
represented the mercantile company
and made lengthy plea for clemen-
.cy on the ground that the Peterson
Mercantile company has always en-
deavored to obey the law. He stat
ed that it was impossible to tell
sometimes when the company receiv-
ed an order from North Dakota whe-
Their it was an Indian who Is had
turned in the order or a white per-
son who had perfect legal right
to order and receive liquor provided
he purchased it outsie the state. He
said that the company depended to
a great extent in this matter upon
the express agents and claimed that
they had given specific notice to the
express agents not to deliver pack.
ages OF liquor to person who prov
ed to be an Indian or half-breed.
United States District Attorney Pat
Ronrke, who was prosecuting the
case, addressed the court, making a
strong plea for a substantial SEN
tence. He stated that North Dako.
ia Indians had been supplied with
liquor almost at will by Moorhead
liquor companies in the past and It
was only within the past year or two
that the United States authorities
had been able to put a stop to the
traffic and ii order to do SO they had
to get after the employees Of the liq-
nor companies.
The reason for this was because
1t was practically impossible to get
these foreign corporations in court
| ii
for these offenses. Judge Reed inter.
rupted to ask why they did not take
UP the cases in Minnesota, and Mr.,
Rourke stated that the Minnesota
district attorney appeared to care
very little for North Dakota Indians.
In summing up the case before
nassing senfence JuC5pe Reed stated
that this was a very serious offense.
He stated that the eight counts in
the Indictment were all for selling
LIQUOR in Rolette county and stated
that the very fact that there was an
Indian reservation In that county
should have made the liquor ocm-
pany particularly careful to whom
they shipped liquor.

The conference of governors to con.

fruit. The governors suggested that

to cooperate with similar bodies in

Mr.. Roosevelt has reappointed his
commission on inland waterways, with
some new members to I'LL vacancies.
He has also constituted commissions
on forests, on lands and ON minerals,

monize the work of all four bodies

The general belief that the oyster is

not rest upon any scientific basis.
The oyster, as a food, could not fully
satisfy the demands OF the human
body. While the oyster-when- not

and easily assimiliated by weak or i'm

nutrition as may be found In beans.

~ any. fat-making or cle-building
material in the oyster. Its composition
is largely nitrogenous and, being rich
in phosphates. 1t is generally regarded
as an excellent food for the brain; but
a man reduced to an exclusive diet of
oysters would soon find himself def

elements that go to make up physical

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Aug. 9.
Trade here last week was very good
and the market closed higher on good
cattle. Good beef steers are 10 to Is
cents up and COWS are fully quarter
higher than week ago. Feeders and
stockers remain about the same as
they were week ago. No very good
beef steers arrived and no high prices
were realized. Most OF the fair to
good steers on sale brought $3.50 to
s430, but choice stuff would have
brought more. Good cows sold at
1925 to $500 and choice stuff would
have brought s375. Medium COWS
sold around s2.65 to 1925, and the
poorer grades sold all the way down
to $1.25. Bulls sold firm at $500 to
$2.35. Veal calves 25 to so cents lower
as the supply was liberal Good veals
sold up to $500 and most of the better
grade light weights brought $500 to
$475. Feeder and stocker trade was
active to extent of supply, but not
much offered. The demand Is very
good here for all classes and prices
compare well with eastern quotations
Most OF the fair to good steers of
fered went at 1925 to $500 with
choice steers quotable up to $4.00 and
right fancy kinds might bring little
more.
Hogs sold at s6.45 to $500, the mar
ket being firmer than a week ago.
Sheep trade was very good and
prices about the same as a week ago.
though the market is hardly as firm.
