The successful carrying out of the program Joe .Gans has mapped out for himself this summer will leave him little time for either play or mischief. Starting out to fight three championship battles in Hve months is going some. If he beats Unholas in their twenty-round battle on jviay x uans mienas to consider a match with Battling Nelson for July 4 before one of the San Francisco box ing clubs. After defeating the Dane, which Gans regards as being as easy as tailing off a log, his next move will be to get Packie McFarland for Labor Day for some mining town In Nevada. NEW GIANT FOR MICHIGAN TEAM ; Detroit, May 7. Reports from Ann Arbor are to the effect that Edmunds, a freshman medical student from Youngstown. O., who won his "R" last fall is creating a sensation at full back in the spring football practice.

The rain pelted the Just and the unjust for fair this time, every major league game being postponed on acount of the storms.

double-header this afternoon. There Is a new rule on the books of the American league, which says that postponed or drawn games on the second visit of any club must be played oft the following day, If possible. PACKLE HOLDS OUT FOR H0GAN. Wants Chicago Man to Referee Fight With BatUng Nelson. Packie McFarland Is determined to make his battle with Nelson a regular Chicago event when the two star light weights hook up in the arena of the i Badger Athletic club at Milwaukee. The pride of the yards returned yesterday from the Cream City, where he seconded Frankle Neil in his fight with Wolgast, and vowed he would not tackle the Dane unless Malachy Hogan was given the Job of "third man" In the ring. "Hogan is my choice for referee, and I am sure Bat will hold out for Malachy, too," declared Packie, "and I made that stipulation In the articles which I signed with Matchmaker Tom Andrews while in Milwaukee.' Chicago ,. fans would prefer that a local referee officiate In this contest, for I am sure there will be an army of them at the club when the battle is started." ' G0LDFIELD SEEKS BIG FIGHT. i Goldfield. is seeking the Tommy Burns-Jack Johnson bout. Word received from Nevada yesterday was to the effect that a syndicate at Goldfield would put up a purse of $35,000 in case the men can be brought together. In case no response is received to cables sent to both men. Jack Curley of this city probably will go abroad to try and get the heavyweights into the ring. SPORTING BRIEFS. Doc Moskiman of the Stockton, Cal., club, recently pitched a no-hit, - norun game against Oakland. The St. Paul team won the American association pennants in 1903-04, but has never finished in the first division since. Veteran Jimmy Ryan, the former Chi cago' cub, has assembled a likely looking bunch to represent Montgomery in the Southern league. The trolley cars which are used to carry the sad or happy Boston fans to the garden of smiles and tears are called "open-faced taxlcabs." Pitcher Welsher of the Columbia team of the South Atlantic league had eleven assists in a recent game. Seldom does a pitcher do such good work. For each home run made at the Chicago American league grounds this season, $65 worth of merchandise is to be given to the lucky club swinger. Ty Cobb cashed the first of the money. Billy Lush, will stay in New Haven after all. The former Yale coach and Cleveland player will manage the New Haven team and play In the outfield. With the exception of Christy Mathewson, the pitchers on the New York National league team are making a poor showing. Mathewson is pitching the game of his life. An Indianapolis newspaper gave away 5,000 megaphones at the opening of the baseball season. It must have been a "yell" of a time. It has been a long time sinct St. Louis fans have had an opportunity to go crazy. That new Brown outfit is making the Missourians act up a little bit. The city of Pittsburg has placed a tax of ?75 a game on the Pittsburg base ball club. One alderman wanted to make it $500. After this Barney Dreyfuss may know enough to distribute a few season passes. Jimmy Archer, the former Detroit player, Is catching a great game for the Buffalo team this season. "Humpty" Badel, who played good ball for the Johnstown, Pa., team for several seasons, has been released. Manager George Stallings of the Newark team tried to lick the umpire the second time out this season. The race in the western league so far this season seems to indicate that the Denver team has the rest of the bunch faded. Ambrose W. Hussey," Jr., manager of the Brooklyn team of the new Union

But the day before the opening Prince Helie grabed a sea wagon and beat it for the other side. Ambrose says If he ever chances to meet Helie again he won't speak to him. Minor league 'umpires in nearly every part of the country are having trouble a-plenty, and then some. As a rule the managers appear to be the cause of most of the trouble. It seems to-be" the regular thing in some of the minor organizations for the loss of a game to bring forth a loud wheeze to the effect that his 'managerial nobs" has been robbed. CORPSE IN RUINS NOT ARCHFIEND. (Continued from page 1). Smutzer's visit to Chicago, was covered up in every possible way by the local authorities. This afternoon Deputy Austiss went to the Gunness farm with a heavy set stranger, to whom he showed carefully all the details of the scene of the last week's tragedy. When asked who the visitor was, he said that the man in the blue coat was an official; but that he had np hand in the case, and left the impression that he was a politician to whom courtesy was shown. Several hours later it was learned that the mysterious stranger was C. J. Smith, one of the Chicago superintendents of the Pinkerton force. A statement from a reliable source was that he told State's Attorney Smith that he had sufficient, evidence that Lamphere set fire to the Gunness house to covict him. Superintendent Smith was the center of a conference in the state's attorney's office that lasted until a late hour. There were present besides the prosecutor Sheriff Smutzer, 'his two deputies. Coroner Mack, and Dr. J. S. McCord. The latest development brought out was that damaging evidence will be given by a recently discovered witness against Lamphere.' Louis Roule, who runs a saloon at Michigan avenue and Main street declared that during the time Lamphere and Mrs. - Gunness -'were', having their legal drfiiculties the man-entered his

"I've got a sweetheart out here," he is said to have told . the saloon keeper, " whose got a lot of money, and she's trying to throw me down, but I know enough about her to send her to the penitentiary for life. If I just say the word, she will go there that quick," and he snapped his fingers in illustration. - . .Roule is a recent addition to the city and did not think of the significance of the words until the developments of the last sixty hours. His statement will be borne out by a corroborative witness. Other developments in the astound ing tragedy included the following: Postponement of grand jury action against Ray Lamphere because of fresh evidence that implicates several others in the cromes, and who will probably be arrested today. Discovery- that Olaf Limbou, a former employe of Mrs. Gunness on her "murder farm," mysteriously disappeared several years ago. Relatives have never seen or heard of him since. He was the man of all work on the farm. Limbou, it is now believed, was one of the first to meet violent death within the walls of the brick mansion which eventually served as the pyre of the arch murderess. May be Sixteenth Victim. Suspicions aroused also pointing to a sixteenth victim in the series of bru tal crimes in the case of Swanhilda Gunness, 7-year-old daughter of Mrs Gunnesa' eecond husband. The girl after the mysterious death of her fath er, disappeared. Her stepmother said she had been sent to Wisconsin, to the home of her husband's brother. It is now believed that she never reached her reported destination and that she met the same sad fate as did the nine whose corpses were huddled Into crude barnyard graves. Detention by the police of Bessie Wallace, alias Conklin, a Michigan City woman, who knew Lamphere and who heard him say that he would get even with Mrs. Gunness and could put her into the penitentiary if he desired to do so. Vigorous search instituted by Sheriff Smutzer and deputies to find witnesses who will be called before the grand jury next Monday to testify against Lamphere. Pursuance of the Inquest into the tragedy by Coroner Mack, who took depositions from Asle K. Helgelein Mrs. George Arthur , Olander, and Sig ward' Olson of Chicago, brother and sister of the murdered Jennie Olson.

"Wholesale indictments are likely to wind up the present feud that for the past ten years has been going on between all the inhabitants of Hosf ord Park, a little settlement several miles from Gary. Or else those who are left to tell the sad tale after the courts get through with them may fall to and kill each other off in order to make a good job of the merry war. Prosecuting Attorney Eavid Boone Is the man who is resDonslble for the threat and there seems little doubt that within the next few weeks or possibly days, the entire population of the hamlet will be wending its way to Crown Point to tell six of their peers what they know about it. Pfuff .va. Arnold Last Straw. The incident that has brought mat ters to a head was the case of Mrs. Mary Pfuff, who had Jack Arnold arrested for assault and battery. The lecal Justice recently tired of the bick erings and broils of the parties to the f-ud, and refused to issue any further warrants in their behalf. The result was that the cases have been brought to Gary of late. The crimes with which the parties to the feud charge each other embrace trespass, the poisoning of each other's cattle and numerous misdemeanors too numerous to mention. Justice A. K. Townsley of Gary, who has fallen heir to the "lawing" of the Hosford Park folk, grew tired ofthe trouble of settlement sooner than did his predecessor, the local Hosford Park magistrate. In order to discourage further bickerings he dismissed the suit brought by Mrs. Pfuff against Arnold. All of the parties interested, the principals and twenty-eight witnesses trailed back to the park. Ilrutnlly Ansanlts Woman. The next heard was that Arnold had gone over to the home of Mrs. Pfuff which Is on a farm near his place, and nearly killed her. He beat, kicked and chocked the woman according to the allegations of those who witnessed the performance and who later visited the injured woman and so fierce was his attack on the person of his neighbor that she has been under the care of a physician ever since. Prosecutor Boone now intends to have the whole neighborhood arrested, barring possibly a handful of peaceable citizens who have managed to keep out of the trouble, and send a few of them over the road where they belong as a horrible example to the rest. The trouble Is of such long standing that It requires heroic measures to quell it and of late the disturbances

Indana Harbor citizens are greatly wrought up over the proposed vacation of Commonwealth as It effects Blocks 12 and 25. So deeply do they resent Ithe action of the city council in passjing the resolution vacating the street without compensation to the city by the C. I.- S. & E. in whose interests the ( vacation was made, that a mass meeting has been called for Monday night to ; take place either at Cline's hall or at the Auditorium. The place of meeting will most likely be definitely decided upon today. The meeting is for the purpose of protesting against the action of the city council and forcing the aldermen to a reconsideration of theiraction, before the minutes of the last meeting are approved. Mayor DeBraie's sympathies are with the citizens and there will be little difficulty in getting him to veto the measure, but there is a question j whether his veto will be of sufficient : power to stand out against the determination of those aldermen who favor the measures. Mayor DeBraie opposed the resolution from start to finish at the meeting of the city council last .Monday night while Aldermen Albert ! Lewis and E. V. "Walton came out esjpecially strong in Its favor, j "What the mayor and the citizens demand is that the railroad company give some documentary proof that they will transfer the riparian rights along the lake shore from "Woodbine street jto Lake place to the city in return for ;the city's vacation of Commonwealth ; avenue, which embraces over nine acres !ln Its length and breadth. Lewis Inconsistent. Alderman Lewis had seen a letter written by one of the officers of the icompany, to this effect. However, it is pointed out that Alderman Lewis was ivery emphatic In his demand on the .occasion of the same meeting that tangleable evidence of good faith in the .form of a contract be drawn up, binding the East Chicago company in its ' promises to the city in the park matter. The citizens declare they cannot understand the Alderman's Inconsistent attitudes and also they are puzzled over

Roosters to Take a Hand. It is understood that the Boosters Commercial club will take a hand in the demonstration that is to take place Monday night. Attorney P. A. Tarks is greatly interested In the fight that is to be waged In the interests of the people's rights. He is one of the promotors of the present movement and talked freely regarding what he looks upon as a very high-handed proceeding on the part of the city council. "Alderman E. V. "Walton told me," declared Mr. Parks, "only a 6hort while ago that nothing would be done in this vacation matter until the railroad company had given some tangible evidence of good faith to the city. Then he turns around and at last Monday night's meeting, is a strenuous advocate of the vacation of the street. It has been understood by the people right along that the city would get something out of this deal for the property represented by this street and It is rediculous for it not to realize." CUKE THE CAUSE. How to Remedy Much cf the Suffering In Hammond. Half of the sickness and suffering in Hammond comes from a weak stomach. Cure the cause by using Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets and he well and happy. Even the most chronic cases yield to Mi-o-na. "W. C. Worrell, connected with the Lake Shore railroad for years, says: "For fifteen years I had acute stomach trouble and nothing helped me. A friend recommended Mi-o-na and two boxes entirely cured me." If the stomach is weak and you have indigestion, flatulence, dizziness, headache, etc., get a 50-cent box of Mi-o-na from Summer's Pharmacy. They give an . absolute guarantee to refund the money unless Ml-o-na cures. SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGES. Newberry, S. C, May 8.
