Club at which the Racine horsemen
were guests, proved to be the most sue
cessful meeting held at the Balm track
in years. More than two thousand
people saw the races from the grand

the close finishes were cheered to the
echo. The Racine horses entered for

PASTOR LIKED BITTERS
ILLINOIS DIVINE is ACCUSED OF
STEALING LIQUOR.
Town Marshal Holds a Warrant for the
Arrest of Rev. w. A. Logan,
Late of Sterling.

Sterling, ILL.,, Oct. l3.-The Rev. A.
W. Logan, pastor of the Baptist church
of Walnut, a suburb of this town, has
gone and leaves the village gossips a
choice morsel which is bitter one
witnal, to roll under their tongues.
The town marshal is holding a warrant
for the Rev. Mr.. Logan, charging him
with the theft of bitters from the
drug store.
The embittered pastor, who is thirty
years old and unmarried, created a
bit of talk before he went from Wal
nut. One of the three men about town
reported about a month ago that he
had seen the minister blowing foam
from stein in "a neignboring tavern.
emphasis and offered a reward of $25
if the relator could produce anyone
else who had been a witness to the
flowing of the foam. None was pro-
duced.
The Walnut drug store is the CEN
ter of informal afternoon and evening
gatherings of men who white and
chew the amber cud, and the Rev
Mr.. Logan has been often in their
midst. He neither whitfield, nor chewed
the manly weed, but he was jolly
story teller and always left the party
laughing when he slammed the door.
The druggist who sold the mastica-
tory supplies and furnished the whit
Ting boards began to notice, he al
leges, that the Rev. Mr.. Logan often
held his left elbow pressed tight
against his side when he went out
and that there was a bottle-shaped
bulge under the coat and the elbow
He often missed bottle of bitters
after the pastors departure
These observations caused him t.
have a search warrant issued for the
Baptist church parsonage When he
and the town marshal had searched
the pastors dining room and trunk
in the bedroom they brought out az
trophies several gross of empty bot
ties, which had contained bitters, heav
lily preserved in alcohol.
While they were upstairs searching
the bedroom and the trunk, the pas
tor went out, leaving the back dool
open. He is still out.

QUOTE LESS SCRIPTURE
DO MORE DEEDS OF PRACTICAL

That Is the Advice Given by John D.
Rockefeller to the Euclid Avenue
Sunday School.

Cleveland, O., Oct. l3.-"Less scrip
ture quoting and more practical deeds
in Christianity" was John D. Rockefel-
ler's text in his Sunday morning talk
before the children of the Euclid
Avenue Baptist Sunday school today
ITO much scripture is a bad thing
unless it is mixed with deeds of kind
ness and charity" said the oil king.
what we want is practical seven
days in the week Christianity, doing
happy as we 60 through life. Don't
wait to do something big, but en-
brace the opportunity each day and
hour and help some one"
Serving others is the truest source
of happiness said Mr.. Rockefeller.
"The more we are able to serve 9th
ers the greater our happiness"
Mr.. Rockefeller gave an incident of
his boyhood days to emphasize his point
1--WE had two neighbors when l was
a boy about 10 years old, both of
whom went to church, but their ideas
of practicing Christianity were far
apart. One man was continually quot
ing passages of scripture on every
occasion, but we boys thought he would
have done more good if he had quoted
less scripture and given his men long
er time at the noon hour.
"The other men never spoke of scrip
ture outside of the church, but he
was the kindest of men to his EN-
ployees and favorite with we boys
because of his many acts of kind
ness, such as letting us ride on his
pony and giving us cider and apples.
His actions spoke founder than words

ARRESTbERTSH0RES
rs ACCUSED OF MIXING WITH
THE MABRAY GANG.
Claim Is Made That One of the AL
legged Fake Wrestling Matches
Was Participated In By the For
mer Blue Earth County Man; How
the Greek Yelled Foul and Left
the Hall.

Minneapolis, Oct. l3.-Joe Carroll, a
wrestling promoter, for long time
Frank Gotch's manager; Bert Shores,
alias Bert Warner, we'll known Min
neapolis middle-weight, and formerly of
Blue Earth county, and w. S. Harris
of Spokane are under arrest at Cur
few, Wash, as members of the Ma
bray gang of wrestling swindlers re-
Gently indicted at Omaha and Council
Bluffs, according to information re-
ceived in Minneapolis yesterday.
Behind the entire proceedings lies
story savoring of the unreal. The fed
eral warrant is for the arrest of "Ole
Marsh, alias Joe Carroll" and "Bert
Shores. alias Bert Warner" and recites
that the men, with Harris, were in
dicted in the southern district of Iowa
and Nebraska for an offense committed
Jan. !, 1907.
The Mabray gang is said to have
operated at least one of their alleged
fake matches from Minneapolis, there
being one in Grand Forks in Novem-
ber 1907. between Shores and Greek
wrestler of more or less renown. The
Greek was first sent against McMil-
Ian, who was acting as Shores man
ager, and was an easy victor. Two
weeks later Shores, under the as.
sumed name of j. c. Brown of SUI
perior, Wis, was brought to Grand
Forks, side bet of 81 900 having been
arranged.
Sporting Writer as Referee.
A former sporting writer on a st.
Paul paper was secured to referee the
fiasco. for fasco it was, lasting less
than sixty seconds. Brown, or Shores,
put the Greek champion down with a
thud that sent chills through every
man in the big opera house where the
match was held, the Greek, in the
meantime yelling "foul," 'foul."
The result of the matter was that
the Greek with 200 or 300 of his coun-
trymen left the opera house in rage.
Within the past month or two Car
roll took his man Shores to Seattle,
attracted by the prosperity of the
wrestling business during the EXPOSE
ton, where DIR. B. F. Roller was meet
ing all Corners in the big stadium.
Carroll matched his man against Reflefy-
but hitch occurred at the ringside
that caused a great sensation in Seat
tie sporting circles.
When Shores Entered the Ring.
Shores as soon as he entered the
ring lay fat on his back. A man n
the audience then read statement
from the Minneapolis man that in or
der to get a match with Roller he was
obliged to agree to lie down twice and
let Roller win.
Roller and his manager Indignantly
denied Shores statement. Warner said
he would lie down again to save his
honor, and then, if Roller wished, the
third encounter would be squarely con-
tested. Roller won the fall after
contest that savored of pugilism and
Jul iitsu. finally disabling the Mime
apolis man by hurting him to the floor
and dislocating his shoulder.
Since the match much harsh Ian
c,lage has been used by the wrestlers,
and DR.. Roller is under bonds to an
swer to charge of criminal libel.

condition personally and can easily
refer the Southern railway artthori-
ties to our file on this question which
dates back as far as May ), 1906. We
can recall many promises which the
Southern railway compay has made
to lay heavier rail on this line, and,
with the exception of very short
part Of the mileage which has been
laid with heavier rail, their promises
have not been carried out and the
orders of this commission have been
ignored. On April 3, 1907, after re-
ceivine numerous promises from the
Southern Railway company this COM
mission ordered the line from Alston
to Greenville to be laid with heavier
rail. This has been some II months
ago and the order has not been car
ried out. Many excuses have been
given and one or two of them were
we'll taken, but I can see no further
reason now for delay. The schedule
from Greenville to Columbia, a dis
tance Of IA miles on what is known
as the night train, is now six hours
and twenty minutes. and this is
caused to large extent by bad track
and poor condition of the road bed.
$50 far as the condition Of the
coaches and other matters complained
of is concerned. I would recommend
that we take these up specifically and
have them corrected by orders, if
necessary, and I would further recon-
mend that the question of condition
of road bed and rails be taken up es-
pecially. and if necessary. this COM
mission employ the services Of an ex-
pert engineer to accompany them and
that they thoroughly inspect and re-
port upon the condition Of this track,
and if its order in each case is not
obeved. that the matter be specifically
reported to the attorney general tor
action.
"After thorough examination OF
this division I am Of the opinion that
this. track in many places is danger
Gus for the operation of passenger
trains at any other schedule than one
which does not accommodate the pub
