BROWN HuSTLES TO
GET MORE BADGES
Underestimated Crowd at Ru|I
Moose Convention.

Columbus o.. Sept. 3.--Walter F.
Brown, state chairman of the Bull
Moose party, has his men rushing
around trying to get more delegate
and alternate badges. They had only
1850 made, but now find that instead
of 1902 delegates that there will be
nearly 1900 In the state convention
that meets here tomorrow and Thurs.
day to nominate state ticket.
I'm a number OF counties so many
rrogressives wanted to come to the
convention that they doubled and. In
several instances, trebled their dele
cations, giving each delegate half or
q third Of vote" said Chairman
Brown.

The chances are that the rest OF
the Bull Moose ticket will be made
up Of men who have not figured in

lent program was carried out, begin
ming in the morning and ending late

took part in the doings. The mem.
bers from Mt. Vernon were present
aa guests of the members of Gambler
lodge.
The first event of the morning was

lowed by a base ball game between
the single men and the married men
present. This was IN interesting af.
fair. At noon an excellent picnic din.
mir was eJoyed.

MOOSE
Took Two Out Of Three
Games From AIl.Stars

Monday afternoons game with the
Columbus All-Stars was one of the
best of the season and was without a
doubt the hardest fought OF the three
game series. The locals lost by a
score Of to 2, although only one of
the visitors tallies was earned Tate
Cromley pitched great ball at all
stages during the nine innings with
the exception of the first when he
walked the first man up. This was
due to the bad pitchers box to which
he was not accustomed. After the
opening session the All Stars were
helpless and secured their third run
on errors. Shurr pitched masterful
ball for the Columbus aggregation.
Sunday afternoons game resulted
in an easy victory for the Moose
while they also took the Monday
morning contest by 8 to 1 score.
The crowds were good at all three
games.

Romantic story Of the Worlds Most
Famous Horse Market.

Famous Horse Market.
The most famous horse mart In the
world Is Tattersall's In London. A ro-
mantle history attaches to this estab-
lishment.
In 1T1G a certain Richard Tattersall,
a wool comber Of Yorkshire, who had
lost his fortune during the Jacobite
rebellion, obtained ninety-nine years
lease Of a tract Of ground In London
and thereon built an establishment for
the sale of horses and hounds.
Tattersall was on friendly terms
with the prince regent. Lord Boiling
broke and others whose patronage
greatly aided the enterprise. Such. in
deed. was the friendship between the
prince and Tattersall that the bust Of
George on top Of the fountain In the
sale yard was so placed at the princes
own request.
In due time huge slice Of luck
came Tattersalls way. Lord Boiling.
broke ran heavily into debt and by
way Of settlement passed on to Tat.
tersall his famous racer, Highfiier,
which became the father Of three Der.
by winners. The progeny of this horse
In eighteen years are said to have won
races to the value of no less than flIO,.
600. Tattersall built himself pala.
tial country residence near Ely, call.
ing II Highflier Hall.
Tattersalrs came to be the headQuar.
ters for the laying Of turf wagers.
Immense sums were won and lost
there. The Marquis Of Hastings lost
more than 100000 on one race alone,
and. 1t Is said, not infrequently similar
amounts changed hands on settling
days" at "Old Tatt's." or "the Corner
as the place was sometimes called.
All classes of society mingled at
Tattersall's. Dukes and stable boys
were brothers in the excited crowd
prepared to wager on anything and
everything This state of things led
to such scandal that upon the eypira'
ton OF the lease the firm was refused
n renewal In its new establishment
no betting was permitted.
At the modern Tattersalrs some
enormous prices for racers are occa'
sionally obtained. Flying Fox Is said
to have been sold to a French owner
for 1880 guineus and Ormonde to IN
American for 10000 guineas. Here
also Scepter as a yearling was sold for
10000 guineas. La Fleche for 12.6N
guineas and Blair Athol for only lO0
guineas less.-Harpers Weekly.

Handed To Roosevelt, Faker
And HypOCrite
Shown Ia True Light By
Gen. Nelson A. Miles
The Most Colossal Fraud The
Country Ever Produced

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 3-General
Nelson A. Miles, U. s. A.. retired, has
given out a scorching statement In
which he scores former President
Roosevelt, who Is a candidate for a
third term In the presidential chair.
General Miles said:
mo usurper or despot ever succeed
ed until the people of the country
were In a condition and mood to pass
under the tyranny Of a dictator. The
change from servitude and oppression
on the part of people to liberty and
independence Is wrought by violence,
heroic deeds and great sacrifice.
"The change from democracy to des.
potlsm Is slow, subtle, insidious and
fatal. The usurpation, the tyranny, the
spoliation of the Caesars, the two Ma
poleons, Cromwell, Robesplerre and
Diaz, was all accomplished under the
name and pretense OF republic.
False prophets have arisen and
demagogues have hourished. but never
before has one appeared In our coun-
try possessing the worst elements of
both, and at the same time consumed
with his own selfish ambition. This is
the true character Of Theodore Roose.
welt, the present candidate Of his own
misnamed Progressive party.
"The American citizens need only
to look at his record to recognize the
most colossal fraud that this country
has ever produced, and the most un.
fit man for the responsible and digni-
fed Office Of President. Lacking the
qualities and characteristics requisite
to a proper discharge of the duties OF
that high Office. and having an excess
Of such M positively disqualify him.
In order to deal fairly with him on a
basis OF facts undeniable, Il 10 neces.
sary to present him In his true light,
as:
Roosevelt, the lover of strife--one
who pretends to despise men who do
not love to fight with whom virility
lies only In the desire to kill some,
thing. inspiring In the minds of our
youth most destructive and demor
alising disposition.
Roosevelt, the prstender--claiming
honors he never won. depriving worthy
and heroic men of just fame and credit
they had earned by noble deeds and
great sacrifice.
Roosevelt, the adventurer--delight
ing In hot.headed, reckless, insane
acts; hence most unsafe as the official
head OF a great nation.
Roosevelt, the reckless whose vio
lations and disregard OF customs, stat
utes and international law were con
spicuous and notorious.
Roosevelt, the insolent--who dictat
ed and interfered in the political af
fairs OF the South American repub

VERMONT
An Accurate Barometer Of
Political Conditions
II Republicans Garry State
By Less Than $4,000
AT Election Today Democrats
Will Sweep 1heCOuntry
In November
II Republicans Carry State
By Less Than $4,000

New York, Sept 3-In 1892 William
&C. Whitney looked up from n pile of
kilograms and In reply to the question
as to the outlook for Democratic vic.
tory, said:
"Wait until after the good people
of Vermont register their votes on the
first Monday In September, and think
] can make an accurate guess as tt
who will be the next President"
Mr.. Whitney turned to his work a,
! IL he had dismissed the subject fol
good.
But why wait for the first Monday
in September" his caller insisted.
For the simple reason that Yer
mont Is a perfect political barometer
replied Mr.. whitney.
"And 1t has been SO for quarter
of century. When you find Vermont
giving a majority of 10000 or over
for the Republicans in their Septem
ber election, then you can expect the
Republicans to carry the country IN
November"
In 1884 the Democrats at the Sep
tember election lost the state by only
,22,704, and IN November the Demo
Gratis swept the country.
In 1892 the Democrats reduced the
Republican majority In Vermont in
the September election by 1902, and
again swept the country at the Presi-
dental election In November.
In 1900 the Republicans carried the
state In September by 30,S64 and Nc
Kinley was elected In November
In 1904 the Republicans carried the
state by 3l,559 In September and
Roosevelt was elected In November.
In 1908 the Republicans carried the
state In September by 1854 and TAFT
was elected In November.
And so Vermont's history since 1856
has been guidepost for the political
leaders and what they might expect In
the November presidential election. II
the Republicans majority exceeds 80.
900 In Vermont today. they carry the
presidency. But II the Democrats cut
,the majority down to less than $4,000
they have won.

Some Quaint Hotels.

The hotel that stands out the most
prominently In my recollection Is one
in Iquique. where. even while You are
sitting ut the dining tables. vendors
come In from the streets to sell you
food. At this same hotel they have two
charges for baths-S shillings II yOu
insist upon clean water and about 4
shillings IL you are willing to take a

Another instance Of quaint hotel Is
In the town of Africa. In Peru. Here
