The 26 305mile road race to-day won by Len .Zengler in a National with HarryGrant second and Hugh HughetJ, third, was not accomplished with-, out its toll of death and injuries.

The ' machine turned a complete somersault. Another accident in which 30 J persons were injured most slightly, occurred shortly after 11 o'clock, . While the first lap of the race was ' on. several sections of the insecurely built circis seats giving way. A thousand or more persons were precipitated to the ground.

From time to time during the remainder of the ' - day warnings were shouted through^ the magaphones to the remaining i, pectators not to jump to their . feet in moments of excitement. . Many left the grounds after the t ;ccident. The ten cars on the course at the * time of the accident were stopped ' us soon as they reached the repair i pit, but a new start soon was made, j Ralph Mulford, whose Lozier was the-last away and who won the race last year, set a terrific pace \ -at once. For fifty-nine miles he drt ve at 69 miles an hour, leading the field by a good six minutes. On the next lap, however, he went out of the race with a burnt connecting rod bearing. This place Leu Zengel in first position, with Harry Grant two minutes behind him. It was In' this relation that they finished, although Grant lost two minutes when he stopped to change the tires. Zengel made up two stops both for gasoline and oil. Hugh Hughes, the Mercer driver, who won the Kane county cup yesterday, ran another consistent race, finishthird. He stopped but once for gasoline and was closely pushing Grant for second place at the finish. He lost by eleven seconds. Zengel's time averaging for the race four miles an hour faster than that set by Mulford last year. His f average was 66.45 miles per hour.1 1 Mulford secured the prize for the J fastest lap oovering the eight and one-half miles in seven minutes, fourteen seconds. Ralph DePalma and Spencer Wis- t hart, Simplex drivers, went out of f the race early as did Aitken. The Elgin trophy carried prizes and cash valued at $6,500 to the | winner.

Whether fish suffer pains from wounds is a question much discussed among angles. I am convinced that they do not, says a writer in The Kansas City Times. My opinion is based on many Tacts, like this which I have related. I once lost two hooks in succession, fishing with bait in a deep hole, under closely hanging hushes, where 1 could not use a fly. Finding that my snells were not be trusted, I knotted a hook yn the line, tried the third time and landed a fine trout from whose UUUUI 1 IUUK lilt; IW-O IIOUKS WHICH t I had lost. I once tcok a small trout a an a fly, who rose sharply and jj 3truck with vigor, whose side had tl within a few hours been so badly l] torn by another fish, or by a hook, f that the skin was gone from the i y belly of the dorsal fin a full inch a wide, leaving the red flesh expos- ij ?d. I had seen a skate-e weighing a more than fifty pounds, caught 011 b i. bait hook in Fishe'rs Island iound, drawn up to the side of boat. t ind his throat cut across with a r ?ash intended to be and supposed o ;o be sufficiently deep to kill him. c The same skate was caught and brought out 011 the same hook with- t In thirty minutes afterward. In- r stances might be multiplied from t my own experiences. Other an- $ ;lers could furnish many more, e Prom such conversations I have be- b lome convinced that wounds do not ^ jive to fish that sensation which we n sail pain. o The aaigler who has hooked a; ( 'ish with bait and lost him should 1 h tot hesitate to throw again into t .he same spot; for, unless the fish f; las been frightened by seeing the i, 'isherman, he will take the bait is reacWly the second time, and iften with more vigor as if angry it it having escaped him. This is specially true of pike and picker-1 ' ;1. 1 once took a pike in Glen Palloch, at the bead of Loch Lomond, who struck a spoon P 'our times before I landed him, o ind each time was badlv torn liv ii lie hooks. < But on the other hand it is gensrally true that if a -trout is ^ iricked hy a fly hook he will not ? ise to it again. This is perhaps f iwing to the fact that he has h 'mind no taste of flesh on the ti look. In one single instance in [ C ny experience I have known an ex- h :eption to this rule. Coasting on h i lake in the Franconia mountains, ? [ pricked him badly. The water l vas clear and I saw him rush off, a orn, and as my fly again fell in he same spot, go at it with ajS fierce dart, and I landed him. I I' ipeak, of course, of trout as I c lave known them. h ORIGIN OF CORN. v i e K\|*n-iiiicnts Have I>evelo|H*<l It. t Itack to the Condition of Grass ii A few years ago, says and Atchi- c ton, Kan., letter to the St. Iouis p 31obe Democrat, private experiment- p ?rs succeeded in developing corn back-ward until, all the ears were C in the top of the stalk and grow- t Ing so small that the stalks could v > <* ?: > >?>* : > > $ > > <? .> < .% ^ | j and be a schedule man. 1 curate and reliable of tim< watch on all the great railros "/i's Time You C We are headquarters for plete assortments in all ( about a Waltham.

When the English and French enered their great struggle for the sten of what is now America, nwnense corn fields were found as ar north as New York and Massahusetts. Massasoit fed his white riends with corn, and at a later late sweet corn was found, grown >y the india.ns in Massachusetts. Yhen Sullivan was sent against he Ir-oquois during our revolution arge acreages of corn. De Soto eports cornfields in sonthern Florda where * e is said to lave marched through '"growing oin and beans clear across the itate of Tallahassee." The Frenchnen who settled in the St. John's iver valley were led with corn nd taught how to cook it. Capt. Smith tells of five varieties of iroad that were made from corn >y the Indians of Virginia. The uoneer colonists soon learned how o prepare this new grain for food, md without it they could never lave .?ade tlieii j-assage westward hrcugh the wilderness. The Inlians were more advanced in agriuiuire than is generally supposed, rhe industrious, intelligent Indians nobably raised good crops of corn; he loafers raised very small crops. Among the earliest men there vere a few industrious ones and treat numbers of shiftless ones, 'he proportion of shiftless men onstantly is being lowered since it s becoming more certain every day hat sliiftlessness does not pay in iiiy walk of life; that the man who iradices industry and good coniuct, and learns as much as possible, lives an easier and more coniortable life than the idler. A few ears ago the yield of corn to the ere in South Carolina was eight usliels to the acre; last year this verage had increased to eighteen ushels. The average for the country is wenty-six bushels. Last year Jery Moore, a 16-year-old South Carlina boy, raised 228 bushels of orn on a single acre. But in orer to do so he spent $90 on ferilizers and hauled 700 loads of ich earth on Ills prize acre. But he crop paid him a net profit of 130 . This record has never been qualed, although this year the oy is trying to surpass it. Jerry loore, because of his accompiishaent has become a hero throughut the country.

Fris! bie, the Ourtiss aviator, was killed ' by a fall at the Norton fair. Frisbie met with an accident yesterday and only went into the air again to-day when driven to do so by the taunts and jeers ot the crowd. Frisbie fell aleout inn f?H?r and the engine of his machine fell upj on him, crushing his left side and chest, lie lingered for an hour be[ fore he died. Frisbie had been giving exhibition flights at Klmwood park for several days. Yesterday his machine acted badly and he had a , fall of about 40 feet, but beyond bruises and a shaking up was not j injured. He announced he would not take the air this afternoon, but when his statement was communicated to the crowd the spectators shouted "faker," and would not listen to explanations. Frisbie anI nounced that rather than have the big crowd go away from the park, i he was willing to do his l?est. He ascended from the track without . difficulty and attained a height of 200 feet, but in attempting to make a turn his plane tipped and Frisbe I lost control as he came crushing to earth the spectators could see aviator trying to right the machine, but as it approachtd the ground i one or me whirs crashed into a barn and the biplane struck the earth with Frisbie underneath. Frisbie's wife, son and little girl ; were witnesses of the accident, and : Mrs. Frisbie was prostrated when | she saw her husband fall. To-night j she bitterly denounced the action of ! the spectators in forcing her hus; band to make the flight with a dis| abled machine. HOl'KKHOLD < 'ARKS.
