Nancy Couldn’t Do It. Chicago, Sept. 13.—Nancy Hanks endeavored to defeat her record of 2:04 to-day at Woshington park be | fore a crowd of 20,000, but 2:06 was the best she could do. The track was a trifle too soft, and Nancy tired so badly in the last eighth that Dob le was compelled to use the whip vigorously. ‘he first quarter was trotted in 314; half in 1:02}: three- quarters in 1:41}; mile 2:06. At the conclusion of the mile trot tell by Nancy Hanks, Monroe Salis- hury, the owner of Directum, an- nounced that four days after Direc-| tum goes against the world’s trotting record on Friday, he would stand ready to match him against any trot- ting mare, stallion or gelding in the world, mile heats in harness, best side. On Friday, the pacer, Flying Jib, will make an effort to beat the world’s pacing record of 2:04. From a Railroad Bridge. St. Joseph, Mo., Jept.

The first horse mill west of St. Charles was located i haway county, some miles b-luw Cote Sans Dessein. It caused xenvral re- joicing and brought trade for twenty miles. Prior to this time the Call- yaway- pioneers bad pscked their grinding from St. Charles, a di. | tance 100 miles, ex rept such as they performed by baud. The next horse nll was located in Howard county aud probably the third one in Chari ton county. This latter mill baru ed about a year after it had been Hlocited. The matter was looked up- onasa public calmity. In Dallas county the nearest mill .was at Springtield, thirty forty miles away, aud in Crawford county, St. Louis was the closest point. It was many years before water-power mills were introduced. ‘he old horse mill was a primitive affair, but it filled a long-felt want at one time in Missouri. or Isaac Best located a horse mill in the northern part of Gasscouade county some seventy years ago and built a block house to defend him- self in the event of an attack from the Shawnee Indians. He owned sixteen fierce dogs and had them trained to give the alarm on the ap proach of Indians. One day while employed on his mill the dogs set up a fearful yelping. Mr. Best and a man named Callahan started for the block house when the Indians fired upon them, wounding Calla han. They reached the block house, however, and opened such an effee tive fire that the Indians forced to retreat.
