Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 11.-Some
horses, like men, are born to greatness
without reaping the fruits thereof. L.
s. Thompson's Bromo, a son Of Broom
stick. is such a horse. He was beaten
head In the Homebred Produce stakes
of six furlongs at. Belmont Park this
afternoon, just as he was beaten a head
by Thunderer in the rich Futurity the
week before. In each race he earned
the real honors without carrying off the
prize.
An added starter beat Bromo. John
E. Madden sent out his maiden two
year-old Gillies under 107 pounds and
had the satisfaction of seeing his col
ors carried to the front in one of the
three sensational finishes which made
the day one of excitement and keen
pleasure for crowd of 10000 or more
which turned out for the last Saturday
OF the meeting.
Weight and Luck Beat Him.
Twenty pounds beat Bromo and a
little i'll luck in the early part of the
race, when Notter could not find clear
sailing. Twenty pounds is a powerful
handicap and it was just too much to
overcome today as the race was run.
Gillies, always close to the pace, drew
out at the last furlong pole and under
Turner's vigorous finish lasted Just
long enough to earn the lions share
of the purse.
James Buffers Spur, which finished
fourth in the Futurity when making
his first appearance, ran a respectable
third. beating, among others. Foxhal
p. keene's good f1lly Puss in Boots,
r. F. Carman's Achievement, which
earned part of the Futurity honors, and
Prince of Como. The stake was con-
fined to horses born in the United
States and Canada, and was worth
about $4,000 to the winner.
The Jerome handicap at a mile fur
nished another of those tense finishes
which make hands tremble and hearts
thump. Trial by Jury, under 127
pounds, beat The Finn, under 126, by
the width of hand, running the mile
in 1.3S 2-5.

A HUGE ABSTRACT

Probably one of the largest alb
stracts that has ever been compiled
and delivered in this state, and Ger
tainly the largest from local office,
was completed and delivered yester-
day to a large land holding company
in this part of the state. The alb
stract was made by the Florida Title
& Abstract Corporation and is en-
tirely on lands in an adjoining coun-
ty, none of it being located In Mar
ion. A force of men has been work
ing on the job for the past six
months and it is as thorough as man
can make it from the records availa-
bic. The abstract comprises 3842
pages and consists of sixteen large.
well bound volumes. The work was
all carefully typewriter, checked
and verified, and the volume contains
% plats or maps in colots. The work
also contains so pages of records from
the United States land Office, which is
not part Of the records of the coun-
ty from which the abstract was
made. The Florida Title & Abstract
Corporation is justly proud of the
fine piece of work and is also glad
that it has been finished and deliv-
cred.

FRANK JAMES

Frank James, the famous ex-bandit,
is dead. He passed away at his home
at Excelsior Springs, No., aged "a
years. He is one of the few excep-
tions to the rule that those who take
the sword will perish by the sword,
which rule also applies to those who
take the six-shooter.
Frank James was the son of respec-
table parents, and had he been born
and reared in quiet day amid peace
full surroundings he might have lived
out his life as respected and useful
citizen. With his brother Jesse, he
was born in Missouri in the most ex-
citing days of the troubles that led to
the war between the states. Brought
up with the education of frontiersmen,
the James boys had just attained the
age when youth is most likely to seek
adventure when the war began. They
joined Quantrell's guerillas, which, no
matter what be the reputation they
incurred, were no worse than any of
The other bands that roved that sec
ton at that time, and were probably
better than some of them. At any
rate, the James boys considered them
selves southern soldiers and acted as
such.
After the war, for many reasons,
some of which were their fault, they
became bandits and for the next sew
enteen years. roamed all over the
west and part of Mexico, perpetrating
some of the most daring robberies
ever known in the history of America,
Their immunity from capture was not
little due to the sympathy felt for
them by the mass of the people in the
southwest, and like Robin Hood, they
seem TO have confined their depreda.
tons to those who were able to be
robbed.
In 1882, Jesse, the younger of the
brothers, was killed. He was shot
from behind by Bob Ford, a member
Of his band, and young man to whom
he had been benefactor. Ford re
ceived a large reward from the state
OF Missouri, but the people regarded
him as a Judas, and his blood money
was soon wasted in dissipation.

daring of the brothers, and it is posi-

Advice to the League.

Noting the friendly discussion be-
tween Rev. Kamphoefner and the
anent the meth
DDS of the anti-saloon league In de-
termining the temperance status OF
candidates, the Jewell Record makes
the following observations:
The case of Mr.. Chase does not
stand alone. The league has made
other similar mistakes The league
labeled Judge c. G. Lee Of Ames as
wet" last spring, and the utter alb
surdity of calling him friend OF
the liquor interests is best testified
to by the men who know him best.
The league had Congressman
Frank P. Woods on their wet
list, but Mr.. Woods last week was
one OF the eight Of the eleven Iowa
congressman who voted for the Hob
SON bill for national prohibition.
