everything Is In readiness for the
motor boat race this afternoon, the
second contest for the "Commodore's
cup which was won b. the donor,
Major Meigs, in the race two weeks
ago.
This afternoon promptly at two
o'clock the various boats entered in
the race will line up at the same
starting point as two weeks ago and
at the crack of the starters pistol
will dash away in an effort to win
first place in the boating event. The
course will be the same as before and
the rules governing it were printed in
a recent issue of this paper.
Major Meigs has kindly loaned his
services and given his trophy to the
Keokuk Motor Boat club to liven
things up bit in the racing line in
this city and the boat men Of Keo-
kuk are taking hold with will.
Following are the rules which viii
govern the contest this afternoon:
/. All boats must be tested for per-
Torrance on the club range In the
canal except those that raced last
time These will be rehandicapped on
their performance in the first race
2. The event is open to all boats
whether the owners are members of
the Keokuk Motor Boat club or not.
But the winner will not be awarded
the custody of the cup unless he joins
the club or is already member.
g. The race will be over the same
course as the first time, ten miles in
all, that is two times around the
course.
4. Boats must circle the buoys to
the right; any boat circling in the re-
verse direction will be disqualified

to the right
5. Any boat that has not been
tested can have test by informing
Mr.. Wilkinson of the handicap com
mittee and appointing time before
/ the race comes off.
g. If winner does nots belong tc
the club and does not care to join, the
cup will be awarded to the next best
| performer.
7. AS this is handicap race, al
boats have an equal chance to win and
| it becomes a test of engines and sea
manship more than of speed.
s. The race will be run at the same
time as the first race p. M, June 10

Dear Sir and Friend:--In reply to
your letter of the 18th, which l have
just received, owing to my absence
from the city. / am aware of the
numerous rumors in circulation to
the effect that l would not be at Peo-

my racers sure, and perhaps with two,
If possible, that is, you understand, if

Will Ernest Corsepius, the Fort
Madison boat enthusiast and racing
man, be in the Fourth of July races
at Peoria? He will that. And tie un-
daunted Ernest is going over on the

fellow boatmen over there how to run
things and on the evening of lnde-
pendence day, Keokuk boatmen and
Fort Madison's fellow townsmen OF
"Corsep'' will know that he has won
out.
Captain A. G. Decker who is per-
sonal friend of Corsepius, and like
many others has been misled by the
statement that Corsepius would not
enter the Peoria races and regatta,
wrote recently to the Fort Madison
boat man and asked him if he would
be in the coming booat event at Peo-
ria. In response to Captain Decker's
letter, Corsepius wrote the following
letter:

Discrimination Against Kentucky
By Beef Trust.

AT the hearing before the commit
tee which is investigating the prices of
foodstuffs. Repi sentative Ben John
sen Tuesday b ought to light the in
justice beng done by the beef trust to
! the Kentucky and other cattle growers
of the Southern States.
| Mr.. Johnson made Inspector Repp.
of the United States Bureau OF Animal
Industry, admit that the Northern
packers discriminate IN prices against
all cattle producers south of the Ohio
River. The admission as brought
| about as a result of statement made
by Inspector Repp that LOCO pound
steers were not selling at the principal
stock yards in this country for $6. so
per hundredweight.
Mr.. Johnson produced a Louisville
! paper herein it as stated that the high
est-priced steer on the Louisville mar
ket last Saturday brought only $35. 40,
while the average 1000 pound steer
sold for much less. Upon being con.
fronted With this, Inspector Repp then
stated in substance. that the packers
would not pay as much for a Kentucky
steer as they would for an Indiana
steer. notwithstanding the fact that
The Kentucky steer might be JUST as
good in every respect.
Being pressed by Mr.. Johnson. he
finally admitted that it was nothing
more and nothing less than discrim-
ination upon the part of the packers
against every steer put upon the mar
ket which has been raised South of
the Ohio River.

A Short-Sishted Policy.

Specials fror. Southwestern Ken
lucky say quail are dying in large
numbers in consequence of the severe
weather. says the Courier-Journal.
There has been an unusual amount OF
snow during the winter and the birds
are starving or freezing to death be-
cause of their inability to obtain food
in sufficient quantities to maintain life.
Similar reports have come heretofore
from different localities in the State.
Representative Clay introduced a
bill in the Legislature some time ago
for the appointment Ct State Gene
Warden. The bill came to vote in
the House last week and was defeated.
The majority against it was so decis-
i've that there appears to be small hope
of the enactment tf any similar meas
ure at the present session. It is to
he regretted that the States represen-
tatiyes in the General Assembly do
not realize the advisability of some
adequate measure for the protection of
fish and game.
Kentucky is enc of a small minority
of states where no action has been
taken toward State supervision of
these matters. In some Of these states
the need of such policy is less press
ing than in Kentucky, their supply of
fish and game being more abundant.
Under a system of conservation such
as has been adopted elsewhere quail
and small game would not be starving
or perishing from cold. One of the
duties of game warden is to guard
against such contingencies. Some of
our neighboring states, which have de-
parted from the ancient ard outgrown
methods that still prevail in Kentucky,
have systematic arrangements which
make possible prompt relief for quail
and other birds in cases of emergency.
Kentuckians have been doing as
they pleased in these matters so long
that numbers Ct them are disposed to
res INT any effort at State supervision.
This feeling was reflected in the action
