Now, Ladies—Your turn! |
Among the exciting at'ruction* at
the fair grounds this yttr in Spo
kane will be the relay tm:c for wo
men. Already several women have
intimated that they will enter this:
thrilling and at the sam? ' me dan
gerous competition. Manager R.
II Cosgrove is arrangin?j this race
in a way which promises to make it
the big thing of the fair. The purse
is $500.
None but expert horse* »men will
be permitted to run this . ice. The
danger it too great for d'.yone who
is not very skillful. In Vontana at j
the last fairs it proved to l»e the
great attraction of the rare*. The
race in Spokane will he continued!
for five days, running lour miles |
each day.
Each woman has at least four
horses. Five are still bet'.er, giving
a reserve horse in case to c should
be disables. The Spoka*ie toack is
a half mile long. Kacn horsewo
man changes horses at he end of
each mile, or every S! cond time t
around. The second HÄ« : »he same
horses are used by the same woman,
and so on each of the Bvij Jays. The
race is not completed urriltheend
of the fifth day.
Changing horses is tb: exciting
and difficult part of the ? cc. When
a woman becomes an vX|>cit she
makes tJie change almost without a
stop. She has no one V: assist her
to mount. A man holdl her horse, j
but that is all.
The change is made n front <i
the grandstand, where he shouts
of the spectators do iii add to the!
steadiness of the horse. The rider]

To Benefit Miners.
The commit lee on resolutions at
the mining congrece in Portland
hup favorably reported the Richards
resolution urging Congreßs tocreate
n government department of mines
ami mining with .1 cabinet officer
nt it." head. The idea lias been
generally approved by mining men
ami. as« it will probably be adopted
by the full congress, it will unques
tionably have influence with the
1..w makers, who long ago had this
important matter brought to their
notice.
The mining industry is bo widely
scattered, and •pie of bo many
different Bectionsof he country are
identified with it. that it is quite as
deserving of federal encouragement
as many otb»r forms of industrial
activity to which ihe government
ban given its attention. It is not ;i
function of the government to op
erate mines; neither is it the pro
vince of the government to go into
farming. Hut the interests of the
agriculturists have been deemed
sufficiently important to occupy Ihe
attention of a special department,
and why should mining not I"' ill -
strving of equal recognition?
It would lie no novel idea. Gov
ernments, under whose jurisdiction
large mining operations have been
developed, have Been (it to establish
departments *»f mines that have
worked immense bent fits to the in
dufrty. !>v geological investiga
tions, by distribution of scientific
formation, by promotion of ex
ploration, by judicious control of
mining corporations and adequate
[on of the individual miner
and prospector, governmental min
ing departments have done much
to open new mineral sections and
develop the industry; and if the
creation of nuch departments has
been productive of good results
elsewhere, a similar innovation in
thi» country ought to be advanta
A* President Richards said in bis
a-itlrr?"*, the demand is not that the
eminent assume a paternal or
patronizing attitude toward the
mining industry, or thnt it make
mining turn a present; but rather
that il rooj*>rate with those now in

It ie jnst a common cold, people say,
there's no danger in that. Admitting theit
statement then there are uncommon colds,
colds which an- dangerous ; for many a
fatal sickness begins with a cold. If we
could tell Uk- common cold from the un
common we could feel quite safe. Hut we
can't. 'Die uncommon variety is rarely
recognized until it has fastened its hold on
the lungs, and there are symptoms of con
sumption.
At the first symptoms the careful person
will heed tin- warning by taking a mild
laxative; some vegetable pill that will not
disturb the system or cause griping. About
the best isMJr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets.' 1
If the cold starts with a COUgh, and it
persists then some local treatment for this
condition should betaken. A well known
alterative extract, which lias been highly
recommended by thousands of users', is
Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
This tonic compound is composed of an
extract of toots and herbs and has ;t sooth
ing effect upon the mucous membrane,
allays the irritation and at the same time
works in the proper and reasonable way
at the seat of the trouble—the stagnated or
poisoned blood.
It contains no alcohol to shrivel up the
blood corpuscles, but makes pure rich red
blood.
