Sporting Spiel.
Frank McDonald, general manager
of Gans' training camp out at Gold
fields, has been infected with the
••mazuma" germ that pervades the
town and stands at the entrance of
the training quarters politely request
ing 50 cents ahead from all those who
want to see Joe Gans do a few stunts.
Everybody at Goldfleld seems money
mad.
I suppose this is McDonald's first
chance to get even with the natives out
there for charging 15 cents for beer
and 35 cents for a shave.
Perhaps, though, McDonald shaves
himself.
Here is a little conversation that
took place at Goldfleld the other day
between Tex Rickard and Gans:
"Say, Joe," said "Tex," you know
some of your past is a bit off color.
But take a tip from me. Don't trifle
here."
"Why, Mr. Rickard," said Gans, "I'd
think a whole lot before I'd try to do
anything wrong here. Why, they'd kill
me."
Gans has the gang sized up right.
He must fight or die.
Sir Thomas Lipton in an interview
recently said he was willing to chal
lenge for the America's Cup next year.
The reason that he has hesitated
hitherto was because the designers
said they did not think they would have
an equal chance against an American
boar.
This, in plain English, is under
stood to be an admission of the su
periority of American yacht design
ing.
Sir Thomas Lipton is to have anoth
er conference with the designers dur
ing the next ten .days and he will
then come to a definite conclusion.
Sir Thomas was always a great
"kidder."
Here is what a few Eastern experts
have to say of the Gans-Nelson fight:
John L. Sullivan—Gans will win
easily in about six rounds. Nelson
hasn't got a chance.
John Considine—Nothing to it but
the negro all the way.
George Considine—Gans for me.
It's a pipe.
Bat Masterson—AH the figures say
Gans, and not a chance for Nelson.
Tom O'Rourke—It's in Gans by a
city block.
Jim Corbett—I'd like to see Nelson
win, but it doesn't look as though he
could on paper.
Honest John Kelly—Gans from the
tap of the bell until the finish, which
will come quickly. I have just had
a wire from Gans telling me to get a
swell bet down on him.
Frank Johnston—I'm betting $1,500
on Gans against $1,200.
Johnny McGraw—The Giants will
win—oh, pardon me what fight? Oh!
Do you know I've been so busy I
didn't hear about it.

without an error.
Denny Sullivan played the first for
ty-eight games without an error. Geter
played the first fortyslx games without
an error, and Jude played fortythree
games without a skip.
Is little old New York going to be
beat out of both pennants this sea
son? It certainly looks that way.
If St. Louis Americans can keep up
their good work they will give the
leaders something to think about.
After five straight defeats in New
York, the Pittsburg team took a wond
erful brace and won 9 of the succeed
ing 10 games.
Now that the season is nearly finish
ed the Boston Americans have come to
life and are winning a few games.
There is one player who must be
given a large measure of the credit
for the great showing made by the
Chicago White Sox, and that player
is Edward Walsh.
President Johnson of the American
league has a big job on his hands in
trying to make winners of the Boston
and Washington clubs.
It's strange but true that no sooner
does a player quit the New York
Americans than he begins to play the
game of his life.
Three clubs in the .500 division
and three in the .400 make up the
Hudson River league race. Paterson

The Austin club is making a great
bid for the South Texas league pen

The Western association race con
tinues to be a hummer, with Topeka a
l'ew points to the good.
Pennant winning managers in the
minor leagues will make a pot of
money by selling their stars to the
"man higher up" for next season.
The York club leaders in the Tri

Respect Harvard Crew.
The unexpectedly good performance
of the Harvard university crew at
Putney appears to have shaken the
confidence of the backers of the Cam
bridge eight. Some of the London
newspapers admit that Cambridge is
likely to have a hard nut to crack,
while "The Sportsman" comments on
the fact that all the Harvard oarsmen
sit in the boat at precisely the same
height, their shoulders being perfectly
level, with the result that all the
blades di pat the same angle, the whole
producing a machine-like trfbtion,
whereas different heights would pro
duce different angles, splashing and
loss of power. "The Sportsman" con
siders for this reason that the Har
vard crew is an ideal combination, and
not unlikely to win.

Valley City People Generous to Family
'*of Murdered Policeman.
9pedal to The Evniic Time*.
Valley City, N. D., Sept. 3.—Steps
have been taken for the relief of the
family of Personius, the murdered of
ficer. Personius carried $2,000 insur
ance in the Workmen, and beyond that
the family of seven children are with
cut means of support, and the mother
is all but an invalid. The citizens of
Valley City have already raised $2,000
and an appeal will be made to the gen
eral public. The Personius relief fund
has been started and any contributions
should be sent to either Alfred Zuger
or William Craswell, Valley City, ap
pointed by the citizens as custodians of
the fund.
The state of North Dakota wired the
officials here today that the depart
ment of justice would give $1,000 re
ward for the apprehension of the mur
derer. The county and city at once
raised their rewards to $500 each, mak
ing, with the Northern Pacific reward,
$3,000 in all The county further of
fers a reward of $300 for the appre
hension of one Blackie, wanted for the
Sanborn hold-up, who is believed to
be the murderer. The Northern Pa
cific offers a reward of $1,000 for each
of the murderers.
Blackie, the "Lone Star Kid" or
"Texas Kid," is the man to whom sus
picion points more strongly each day.
The detectives say they have evidence
which will show that Blackie did the
shooting. He is about 23 years of age,
5 feet 6 inches in height, high cheek
bones, sallow skin, black hair and
eyes, black suit, black soft hat. He is
quick in speech and smokes cigaret8.
A man was arrested near Nome in
Barnes county and brought here. He
looked very much like Blackie, ex
cept that he was two inches too tall.
A revolver has been found at Cassel
ton which it is believed belonged to
Blackie.
Girl Musical Prodigy.
Madolin Boughton, the 4-year-old
daughter of Professor R. H. Boughton
of this city, is the wonder of^he com
munity. Mr. Boughton is leader of the
State Normal band, orchestra and
mandolin club, and a local music
teacher. Madolin made her debut in
musical circles here recently at a con
cert given in the normal summer lec
ture course, playing several selections
on her diminutive violin. She carried
her audience, composed of 700 or 800
persons, by storm. She was encored
again and again, responding four
times.
Madolin first showed her marked
musical talent at the age of 22 months,
by crying for her father's violin. A
small instrument was secured for her
the smallest which could be secured
outsides of a toy. Little Madolin loved
her new instrument so much that she
begged to sleep with it. At the age of
2 and one-half years she could ac
curately play the scale and the tune,
"Onward Christian Soldier." Now she
plays some thirty tunes with marked
expression and grace. She has a per
fect ear and her time is absolutely
without fault.

PLOT TO NULLIFT
IKE PURE FOOD
W
Of This 8tate Discovered by
Commissioner Ladd—A
Warning.
According to the Fargo Forum State
Food Commissioner Ladd has discover
ed a plot to nullify the effect of the
pure food laws of North Dakota an?
the active state official is taking steps
ot block the plans of the impure food
manufacturers.
It appears that the manufacturers
are preparing to put forward the ar
gument that the state food laws should
harmonize with the national food laws.
This argument Food Commissioner
Ladd declares to be spurious inas
much as the national food law is a
farce compared to the food laws of
North Dakota.
"It is well known that in the past
there has been an attempt to nullify
the effect of the pure food law in this
state," said Food Commissioner Ladd,
to the Forum.
"Certain food manufacturers have,
in the past, taken the lead in this
work. It is supposed that the bill be
fore the last session of the legislature
intended to destroy the force of our
law was prepared by these same par
ties. There has been for some time
also a persistent rumor that an at
tempt would be made in a different
way to secure legislative sanction for
a modfied bill especially in those states
where the food laws are considered
somewhat drastic, and among these
may probably be classed North Dako
ta.
"The following news item in a St.
louis trade journal fives a hint cf
the source of trouble before our com
ing session of the legislature:
'With the view of unifying the sev
eral state pure food laws with the na
tional pure food law, the National
Wholesale Grocers' association, with
the support, of the wholesale grocers
In twenty-three states, is obtain
ing copies of the food regulations of
the various states, and comparing
them with the new national law. The
points of difference are being carefully
noted, and these when radical are
forwarded to the proper quarters with
instructions to have them brought to
the attention of legislators for action.'
"It would see'm that the manufac
turers of adulterated and misbranded
food products finding that their names
no longer carried weight have a new
organization to take up the work of
leveling our state laws with the stan
dard of the national pure food law,
which is a most excellent working ba
sis or foundation for a good food law.
It is well known, however, that the na
tional law is particularly weak with
regard to the use of chemical preserv
atives and coal tar dyes. Neither does
it require that the matter of net
weights shall be taken into consider
ation.
"I wish to place before the public at
this time a warning that it is not un
likely an attempt will be made to
have our state law changed to harm
onize with the national food law. I
am most decidedly opposed to this for
the reason that I do not believe it to
be for the best interests of the people
of North Dakota.
"I do not believe that the members
of our legislature or the friends of
pure food will be misled by the spur
ious arguments that are being put
forth for the purpose of creating a
sentiment in favor of harmonizing the
state laws with the national law."
PRIZES AWARDED.
In CompeteltVe Grain Exhibit at Bis
marck— C. E. Barber First.
Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 3.—In the
competitive grain exhibit held at the
state capitol prices were awarded the
largest and best exhibits as folows:
First, C. E. Barber, of Beach, Billings
county second, O. W. Dynes, of Fargo
third, Foster county fourth, O. H.
Kelland, Mandan fifth, P. Pellett, of
Tolley.
The prizes were cash and were $30,
$25, $20, $15 and $10, respectively.
The exhibits came from nearly every
county in the state and were so uni
formly good the judges had difficulty in
making their decisions.
The grain thus secured will be used
by Commissioner Gilbreath of the state
agricultural department to make up
his exhibit of the state's resources
which he will show at the Milwaukee,
Elkhorn and Beaver Dam, Wis., fairs
and at the Springfield, 111., fair.
Splendid results as to immigration
were obtained by the exhibit made by
the state last year at several state
fairs and better work Is looked for this
season.
A remarkable feature of the awards
in this exhibits is that the extreme
western part of the state should cap
ture first prize.
This section has always been known
as the "Cow Country," and It has not
been generally known that agriculture
could be successfully carried on there.
Hundreds of settlers have located in
that section the past two or thre years
and the exhibit demonstrates that the
section is as rich an agricultural coun
try as the rest of the state.

A PEEPING TOM.
Residents of North Sixth Street Report
Seeing Strange Looking Man.
This is about the time of the year
for a "Peeping Tom" or "Jack the
Sla8her"to put in an appearance and ac
cording to a gentleman living on North
Sixth street, but who does not care to
be quoted, a "iieeper" has been noticed
up in his neighborhood.
He reports that several evenings
within a week he has noted a strange
looking man, shabbily attired, slinking
about the resident part of that street
out pretty well to the city limits. He
did not recognize the man and owing
to the fact that no definite complaints
have been made the matter has not
been reported to the police.
The many floating waifs of humanity
going and coming at this time of the
year is possible for the appearance
of the stranger referred to, but it is
intimated that it is just well to keep
windows and doors closed these days.

Scientific Mining ig Getting
Firm Foothold in the
Klondike.
Auoclated
Pkm
The Evnlq Times.
Seattle, Wash., Sept. 3.—A gold
dredging epoch is dawning upon the
Klondike. The rich creeks, early dis
covered, have already been worked
over by crude and wasteful methods,
and now are being subjected to an
other and a more scientific treatment.
A prominent feature of the new
workings is gold dredging. It has
proved very successful in the Klondike,
in spite of such drawbacks as difficulty
of transportation, high cost of instal
lation and operation, frozen gravels
and short seasons.
Gold dredging in the north has
passed the experimental stage and be
come an established and promising in
dustry. Extensive areas of low grade
ground, which have been lying idle
because under the former method of
mining the cost of extraction would
equal, If not exceed, the returns, are
beingmade productive through the use
of dredges handling three thousand
or more cubic yards of dirt every
twenty-four hours.
There are now in the Klondike,
either in operation or in course of in
stallation, nearly a dozen gold dredges.
Next season will see the arrival of
several additions to the northern min
ing fleet, some of which will be put to
work in the Forty Mile and Birch
Creek districts of Alaska. All these
"gold ships" are of American make.
It is rumored occasionally that dredges
lnade in other countries are coming in
to competition with the American pat
terns, but this is probably idle talk,
caused by the fact that American
manufacturers cannot at present fill
all orders promptly. The present in
ability to supply the demand is due
chiefly to Panama Canal requirements.
"Machinery and appliances of a kind
not made in Canada, for use exclusive
ly in alluvial gold mining," are ad
mitted free of duty into Canada and
will be until at least one year from
now. Under this provision most of
the comtfbnent parts of a modern gold
dredge may enter Yukon territory
without paying customs duty. Having
passed through the first ami primitive
stage of gold mining (washing out gold
with pans, rockers, cradles, sluices,
grizzlies, etc.), the Klondike is now
entering upon the second stage of
placer mining development, employing
hydraulic and dredging machinery.
Later on will probably follow the third
method of harvesting the yellow metal,
quartz mining.
Itr is expected that the introduction
of dredges will greatly increase the
output of gold in the Klondike. In
1905 this was reduced to about $7,500,
000, as against $10,350,000 in 1904,
$18,000,000 In 1901 and $22,275,000 in
1900. Speculation Is already rife as to
whether this enlarged supply from the
Yukon, with Alaska's growing yield
of new gold, will not perceptibly affect
the general economic conditions in
America as a whole.
During this year Alaska will probab
ly furnish some $30,000,000 of gold, as
against $14,500,000 in 1905, $9,000,000
In 1904 and $6,350,000 in 1903. It Is
pointed out that seasons of exception
al prosperity have followed each of the
great gold finds of recent times—those
or Australasia, of California, of South
Africa and of the Klondike. Most of
the capital invested In dredging opera
tions in the Klondike thus far is owned
by citizens of the United States, and
most of the gold cleaned up is sold in
Seattle.
D. C. Palmer, proprietor of the Riv
erside Park Stock Farm, Berlin, Wis.,
has owned many'good colts, indeed,
when a futurity is closed the experts
Icok for the Palmeter entries at once,
and justly so, but it is doubtful if he
has ever owned a faster or better rac
ing youngster than Ed. Custer, which
brought his colors home in front last
week in the American Horse Breeder
Futurity at Readville. It was his third
start this season, after having per
formed brilliantly as a two-year-old,
and while he was defeated in his first
two races this year, he was not dis
graced. Far from it, for he was the
colt the winner had to beat and after
the race at Buffalo Chandler smiled
and whispered "Now for a layoff of a
week at Readville, where I will get
ready to win the next race." And when
the big money was up Chandler and
his representative from the Baronmors
family was ready and the plum came
as he anticipated. Ed Custer is a big
colt, an unusually large one, but he
Is a most impressive one, and has the
Chandler way of going that carries
him through any kind of footing.
Chandler undoubtedly takes more sat
isfaction in winning a futurity than he
would in a dozen M. and M. or Massa
chusetts stakes. He delights in "mak
ing" a colt, watching and guiding each
baby footstep until at last the finished
product is at hand and the youngster
is ready to go out and battle with his
peers. On the other hand, Mr. Pal
meter, who bred and owns Ed Custer,
takes an equal delight in breeding pre
cocious youngsters. With means to
purchase a "ready made" stable of
aged campaigners capable of bearing
his colors to the front in any company,
he finds greater satisfaction in a great
stallion and a small but select band
of brood mares, and from them he pro
duces annually futurity prospects of
the highest calibre. So long as Mr.
Palmeter continues to breed the best
and so long as "Chan" continues to
exert his skill in their development, so
long will the colors of the Riverside
Park Stock Farm continue to be in
the front.
