The board will hold an other meeting on next Monday and will ,;i-pose'of the question definitely ae; eording to the nature of the eommiin ierition '.which come to it from the Sa 1pm neonle. Silenee in thi ease, of course, will be construed that the mat ter has leen ignored and "turned flown" by the latter. Tt then leaves but a tdiort time for the Salem business mn.to make np their minds one way or another and it is but due to 'the State Fair board that some kind of an an wer be made to its proposition, as a matter of courtesy; President ITofer, at the meeting-Mon 1ay evening, gave ample opportunity and extended an invitation to any one who desired to bring tip the subject bnt thPrc was none there to espouse the patiso and the matter fell flat. Some of thr.sf present at tbe meeting were in "attendance for no other purpose than to discuss ami hear discussed this very Vry question, but, sinee it did not come up, "did not care to asutno 'the initiative. There were many others whose business interests. prevented them from attend- inw tbe mreting and who were interest 1 in the conclusion arrived at upon fhc mntte'r of holding the raf meeting nnil ithese. were the first to inquire what rtisitwwition had been mad of the mat tcr. Thre was a gre:it, deal of "talk, both' upon the streets and among the merchants concerning this matter yes t"rln7 and all seemed. riil even ex- TTftsptl themselves as iM-ing favorabe to snfb an arrangement. One or two merchants expressed re- grr that the '-tate fair had been ut oft fur this year, and admitted that thv wprp somewhat incdihed to buck o that 'account.. They were generous enough, to admit, however, in the. end, that a race met would do 'the Salem merchants and, business men even more sooj than would a State Fair for the reason- tlmt in case of the latter the people not only spent the dav at the Fair Grounds bnt the nights as well, while, in the event of a race meet with out tbe Fair thev would stay at the prnnnds long enough to see the Tace during the afternoons and then spend their evenines in the city, since there 'would" be no-rttttractions at the grounds fr them. Ire that way the business in terests of the city would receive more substantial benefits from the. race meet than they would in the event of the fair. Many expressed the hope that the matter "would not be allowed to go by default in the manner in which it is" drifting and 'that some way-fould be found, if another meeting of the club eoold not be brought about this week. to have the question decided one way er another before the end of tb week, "It soems a very small matter Xo me. this raising of a guarantee fnna or timet," said Col. L..K. Page, president of the Salem State Bank, "if that i all that stands in the way of holding the usual race meeting. I am surprised that 'the., board of aigricultnre would hare any reason to entertain doubts of its being raised. For w? part, and I am sot a snortinff man. either, neither will wy business interests be affected bene-J business standpoint with the race meet-. in5f! aione tnan with the state Fair, since a very large percentage of the people who attend the State-Fairs nev er so mtvU as look at the pavilion but spend the whole of their time at the race course. These eopIe remain f at the Fair Grounds in the evening simply l.eeanse there is no place to go and then they stand around and discuss the features of the speed events that oe enrred during tbe day. By all means gi,ve us a race meeting." f II al I). Patton, of the firm of Patton Bros.: ''If the people who are directly benefited by havimg-the race meeting want it,. I want it." This brief, but eharasteristic speech was nttcred by Mr. Patton in bis usual nonehalent and benevolent spirit which brands him as being always' in favor of any public enterprise which makes for the amuse ment or eatertamment of the people and he finished with the assurance that he was willing to stand his share of the expense. These are only a ew of the great many expressions made to a Statesman reporter during his usual rounds yester day afternoon, and were it not for the lack pf space a great number of other prominent and influential men could be quoted as being favorable to the prop osition. It would seem, then that the only 'thing that remains to do is for som one to start out with a subscrip tion ; blank and ask the business men to guarantee this fund which is requir ed by tbe board as, not only an act of good faith but as , an insurance against a too heavy loss to the board should the meeting, prove unprofitable from a financial standpoint. The board of agriculture does not ask that this money.be turned over to be expended by the members of that body. Ft is ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 28.

Doing the Right Thing. The trouble begins with a tickling in the throat and a nagging little cough. Soreness in the chest follows and tbe patient wonders if he is going to have an air winter cold. Probably, if he loes the wrong thing or nothing. Cer- amlv not if he uses Perrv Davis' Painkiller, the staunch old remedv that cures a cold in twenty-four hours. There is but one Painkiller, Perry Davis . Treating Wrong Disease. the Grand Dnke has not ' only been showered with threats and warnings, but has. twice received from abroad formal letters signed by different groups informing him of his sentence to death and of the assignment of men to execute it. At the same time ,th Grand Duchess Marie, like the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, in the case of Grandi Duke Seririus, was notified that ber life and her son's life would be spared, and she was appealed to not to go abroad in her husband a company. The letters naturally terrorize tbe familv and household of the Grand Duke, who has aged greatly during 'the last few weeks under the strain of what be insists Is the uninst criticism which placed the responsibility for the bloodshed of January 22 wholly on his shoulders. Although 'the Grand Duke's health has been failing for over a year, he 's now almost' a complete wreck. For a time the entreaties of bis fam ily and the warnings of tbe police suf ficed to keep him within the walls of the palace, bnt r since the foneral of The $2000 prize road fund is now as sured, only a few hundred dollars be ing necessary to complete the amount, part of which has already been prom ied. Owing to the rush of work at tendant upon the first of the month; the committee will not resume its canvass until next Monday, when the fund will be closed np." This plan of securing the improvement of the highways leading into reaienf nas met with great favor among the leading business men of the city and many liberal donations have been made vpluntarilv, some even, re questing the committee by telephone to can ana secure their subscriptions, It is now up to the residents along the roads leading into Salem to get busy and start their subscription papers for volunteer work, with a view to se curing a slice of the prize fund of $2800, of which $800 will be donated by Jbe eounty court. . There will be seven prizes to compete for, ranging from $700 to $100, and it is understood that the enterprising people residing along some of tne roads terminating in this city have already taken steps to get, a share 'of the prize money. Tbe coajity court will purchase and operate a grav el syeen for the benefit of the com petitors and in this way the best ma-f terial obtainable for road improvement will be brought into use. Indications are that other. sections of the county will also break the record in the matter of permanent road inv provement during the coming season. The residents of road district No. 37 have subscribed work to the amount of $iwu toward tne. improvement of the Independence and Halls Ferry 'mad, The amount of the subscription is t be increased and splendid results are promised. The eoun'tv court will also be asked, to help .Some and 'no doubt will come to the aid of the wide-awake people of the Sidney eonntrv The matter of securing a free ferry Corbett was practically gone, he showed a flash of his old-time"speed and landed several severe punches on Nelson's ribs and jaw. It was, only a spurt, however, ana cornets -soon lapseu into seiui groggy condition which lasted until the end of the fight, r; Nelson s plan of battle was to force Corbett around the ring, Keeping ciose to him all the time. Whenever Corbett missed a swing, Nelson was there with a return which generally landed. From the fifth round on, Nelson had Corbett in the corner or against the ropes aU'l landed heavv blows at will. " Corbett in some way, managed to protect hiiaself from a knockout Wow until the middle of the ninth round. In a jiffy Nelson swiing bis right over to the i'aw and Corbett went down. I If e remained down for a count of nine and tfcpn stood n n against the ropes with his hands' lowered and unable to protect himself. Nelson partially toppled him over with -a swine on the jaw but be fore Corbett was fairly on the mat his eonnik threw un the sponge. xne round lasted two .minutes and thirty- five seconds., ! In the eighth round Nelson had Cor bet t against the ropes' and the Denver man claimed a foul and lowered his hands. Nelson then demonstrated he was Corbett s superior in spe' a" enraev and?aim; in ability to take pun ishment, and stiff punishment, at tuar After the fight Corbett had very little to sav. He had . no excuses to offer. Nelson was very happy and announced his next effort would be to obtain a fight with Britt who has once defeated him. ' ' The fight tonWght was heavily played by the betting element. The odds were 10 to 8 and eagerly snapped at by Cor bett 's admirers. There was plenty of Nelson money, in sight and all bets of fered were taken.

Several parties heretofore prominent in movements of this character were in terviewed by a Statesman reporter yes terday upon this question, and not one could be found who was in favor of repealing tbe . general appropriation act. , They were almost unanimous in the belief that it would prove a dis astrous and expensive mode as it would only result in ' putting the state to about one-third more expense by cut ting off the appropriations and having to pay 6 per cent interest .upon all war rants issued by the secretary of state fo'r payisg the expenses of the different institutions, -if allowed by .the Legis lature of 1907. Under the provision of tbe referen dum clause of .the constitution the peti tion for the referendum of this bill must be in the hands of the seerctarv of state within the ninety days period after the adjournment of the Legisla ture. This petition mutt bear tbe sig natures of one-fifth of the total vote east for justice of the supreme court at the last general election. If ia all respects correct this petition j has tbe effect of declaring the bill, inoperative until voted upon by. the people at tbe next general election, June, JIHMt. . In the meantime all bills presented for ex penses incurred in the support of the state institutions will be audited by the secretary of state, who will also is sue a certificate of audit which merely sets forth that the claim is correct.
