THE AXTELLS John Young, who was tor several years trainer at Warren Park Farm, the home of the Axtells, was wont to remark, “for any' Axtell you show me that I can not teach to trot 1 will show you a duck that can not swim.” This comes very | nearly being the truth. The Axtells are natural born trotters, and could not help trotting if they wanted to. Axtell sires very f. w pacers, but when you come to the trotting horses sires you will find Axtell always about on top. This season he is the champion sire of 2:20 trotters. Last season he was the champion sire of 2:20 trotters. What championship is there for him to hold that he has not some time or other possessed? No other stallion has been as permanently before the public as has Axtell since the time he was a two year old, always a champion and the sire of races horses. Axtell is the sire of Axnite, he the sire of Grandsor. of the very best bred young stallions. A. N. Acker of Pleasant Mills is owner of this grandly bred horse and will be pleased to show him to any one desiring to look at a fine horse. The Overland Limited, solid train Chicago to Coast daily.

MUM' Baltimore Has Decided to Call on Uncle Sam for Assistance. j) Hundreds of Millionr of Treasure in the Ruins Demands Effective and Immediate Guard. Stricken City Has Taken Fresh Courage and Work of Resurrection Is in Progress. Baltimore. Feb. 11—The situation tn stricken Baltimore began to visibfj clear after a conference between Mayor McLane, a special joint committee of the legislature, and a formidable oelegation of representative business men. This conference was arranged with a view of meeting in a practical way tht awful exigency which this

community now faces. At this meeting. besides the mayor, there were present influential members of the state law-making body, the board ot public works a dozen bank presidents, ex-Governor Smith. United States Sen ator-elect Rayner and several of the leading citizens. The supreme question to be decided | was that of calling upon the national governme.ir *.r,T V. ’ o to take tin places of the two state militia regiments now doing police duty in the burned district. The constitution of Maryland requires that no such re quest can be made of the president except by authority of the state legislature. The executive committee was present to hear the views of the mayor and officers of the city on that point. A brief discussion showed the belief of those present that this is not a time for sentiment as to the ability of the state to take care of itself, and that the United States soldiers were needed and needed at once. On this «( ■!■ ■ it was shown that the I militiamen were already much exhausted by the long continued sentry duty, that they should be relieved | in order that they might return to j their several vocations, and that lhe j militia on active duty is costing the state j'd.iHto a day. .Mayor McLane was particularly insistent that to effi | cicntly guard the hundreds of million ■ of treasure that lies buried beneath the smouldering ruins called forth strong arm of the federal soldiers I The announcement of the executive I committee that it could recommend a‘. i once the immediate passage of the necessary resolution was received with pleasure by the officers and business men present, ami now the legts lature has formally acted, theris every assurance that a national cor ton around the devastated region will inspire a feeling of hopeful confide ice in the future. There is no doubt that Baltimore has taken fresh courage today. On all the streets abutting upon the deso lated districts signs have appeared on windows and over doorways annotinc Ing the temporary resumption of bust ness in various lines. The best citi zens have taken hold of the Herculean task of resurrection with a will that j betokens complete success. The per i vailing sentiment was well jvortraye.! by Governor Warfield, who said yes terday: "Baltimore will rise glorious from her ashes.” Former Mayor of Chicago Dead. Chicago. Feb. 11.- John A. Roche former mayor of Chicago, died sudden i ly yesterday afternoon during an at | tack of vertigo.
