OVERTURNING LOAD

ELI MADDOX AND LITTLE DAUGH
TER SERIOUSLY INJURED ON

Ell Maddox met with an accident

death Thursday morning. While he
was descending the hill with a load
of lumber something went wrong with
the wagon and he got down to fix It
leaving tho team In charge of hla 12-year-old
daughter, who was on the
load with him. Tho weight of the
load when the brake was removed,
was too much for the team, and before
Mr. Maddox could regain his place at
the brake the load had gifthered such
! momfintiim na tn nhnvA tho foam down
the hill, in the end turning the wag
on over.
In the overturning Mr. Maddox fell
under part of the load, hla little
daughter also receiving serious In
juries. Mr. Maddox was rescued by
friends near at hand and taken to his
home in Kansas City but despite med
ical aid he died Thursday morning.

Finanoial Gala.
" In the last twenty years there baa
been only one nmn who I known to
have been successful nt beating the
race track gune to a conspicuous de
gree, says the Broadway Magazine.
That was George E. Smith, better
known a Pittsburg Hill.
He whs a genius, and geniuses are
rare.
He paid for his success with his life.
He got so that he wa a monomaniac.
He thought, talked and bad Interest
only In racing. The passion consumed
him,
Nearly all the men who were promi
nent a big bettors on the turf have
fallen by the wayside. Michael F.
Dwyer, whose wngers wero -colossal,
went broke, suffered complete physical
collapse and was a wreck for the last
few year of his life.
Riley Grannan, whose pyrotechnic
rise made him a nntjonal figure, has
been lucky enough of went years to
get occasional employment a a book
maker" clerk. Joe Yengi-r, who thought
nothing of letting f.'.OOO to a race,
lasted one season.
Of the crop of plunger that followed
thl quartet not one Is known to be
ahead of the game. Davy Johnson,
who was the biggest bettor last year,
has gone broke more times than It 1
pleasant to recall, and he finished the I
season with very little money despite
the fact that In Rom-ben be haa bad
one of the most remarkable horses the
world has ever seen.
: The bettor thinks the bookmaker has
the best end of It He haa, yet com
paratively few of the bookmakers
weather the financial storms Incident
to the game.
' Of 100 who weighed In at the begin
ning of last season less than fifteen
were doing business at the end of the
racing year. One of the most experi
enced bookmakers In America, Eddie
Burke, lost six bank rolls in one season.
The bank roll, In the parlance of the
ring, la the capital stock of the book
maker. The public bears much of the win
nings made by the bookmakers, but
the losses are announced rarely. One
of the thing the public does not appre
ciate la that many of the bookmakers
are only managers or partners in the
books they make.-. Wall street men,
saloon keepers, business men and poli
ticians frequently subscribe to the
bank roll of bookmakers, and occasion
ally a woman la the backer of a book
maker. . The bettor also thinks that the horse
owner baa superior opportunities for
beating the racing game. This time he
! wrong. Few horse owners get rich
Most of them die poor.
There are few owners who have so
good judgment In regard to the horse
under their charge as hare the really
observant men who make a business
Of betting. It anything, the opinion of
tho dispassionate bandlcapper or stu
dent of form is more desirable. The
majority of horse owners get financial
lodlgeatlon from betting, on tbelr own
horse.

The Qraat Assouan Dam.
Sir William Gars ton has recommend
ed that the great dam at Assouan,
F.gypt, be raised nearly twenty-three
feet, which would more than double
the preeent water supply. The dam
now supplies about a quarter of the
water which eventually will be needed
in Egypt With the proposed enlarge
ment about 050,001) acres of land would
be brought under cultivation. The
change would cost about $7,500,000.
Since the establishment of the Assou
an reservoir the sale value of lands
already provided with perennial Irri
gation haa Increased by about $122,
500,000, and this figure, when canals
now under construction are completed,
will be increased to approximately
$140,000,000. In addition to this the
cotton crop, which last year amounted
to $140,000,000, has been assured.
A His Good Fortune Fatal.
It la possible to livelong in melancholy
and to die swiftly from joy. So it has
proved with a Paris carpenter named
Fertnet. He bad worked for years in
a chronic state of melancholy, aggra
vated by want of money, and all the
circumstances seemed to point to a
long continuance of this condition of
things when suddenly and quite out
side the poor fellow's expectations
there came to him the news that be
was the possessor by bequest of
$10,000. Ferinet almost went frantic
with delight. Ills nerves stood the
recurrence of thrills all day, but In
the evening he got among the Long
champs cafes nnd was relating his
luck for about the twentieth time when

NEW OAS PLANT
GOES GLIMMERING
Two months ago a Portland com
pany came to Oregon City and aaked
for a franchise for furnishing gas to
patrons In this city. The proposed
franchise was submitted to the Board
of Trade and after revision the mat
ter waa dropped. The franchise nev
er came before Council, and citizens
are wondering why.
Nothing has been heard of the com
pany or project since. The same of
fer was made at St Johns, along with
two others, and the council of that
town decided that the offer was of
little value. It was claimed that the
company had little .backing was
planning to try an experiment, and
St. Johns people decided not to make
a trade.
