Rain, which started to fall early in the morning, continued throughout the day, and put a third crimp in the Pirate-Cub series, as at no time during the day was a game deemed possible. But one game has been played during the present week by the Cubs, and unless they soon get into harness Chance is afraid his pets . will get completely out of form. With the postponement of today's game ' the Pirates have twelve games to play off, four of which are with the Teddy bears. Indications are that tomorrow will be a nice day, and the last game of the series will be pulled off.

NOT EVEN FOR LADIES DAY. And the sun wouldn't shine even on ladies' day. As expected, the doubleheader between the White Sox and St. Louis Browns had to be called off. They are going to keep on scheduling doublebarreled attractions until the sun has to come out of the water for air. Ac cording to Professor Cox, Mr. Sun is due to show" himself today, and" if the professor is right the first game on the south side will start at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. ' 1 MANY AUTO SHOW DAYS. Chicago automobiledom will surely have its fill of show days if the Ameri can Motor Car Manufacturers' association carries out its intention to enter teh local field with an exposition next winter. Already the "licensed" makers have started preparations for their exhibit next February in the Coliseum, First Regiment Armory and Tattersail's. The "independents," as the A. M. C. M. A. is styled, yesterday received the promise of support from the Chicago Automobile club in the event the former organization decided to run a show here. . KETCHELL THE FAVORITE. San Francisco, May 9. Stanley Ketchell wil go into the ring this afternoon an 8-to-10 choice over Jack (Twin) Sullivan in their scheduled ,35round battle in the Mission street arena! The betting shifted last night, making the Grand Rapids middleweight a greater favorite than at any time since the fighters were matched. Ketchel followers have been raking up money with startling rapidity during the day, and the chances are the bigger one of the Sullivan twins will find himself buried even deeper in the books by tonight. WOMAN COACHES TRACK TEAM. Campaign, 111., May 8. The Peru, La Salle township, high school, the last team entered in the Illinois interscholastlc, is coached by a woman, Miss Emma Schfiler, and the performances of her athletes will be watched with Interest.She has twenty-nine entries,

the largest of all the schools. University High's additional entries were turned down today and entries from Pittsburg and Sparta were refused, as they came too late. CHOKER'S "RH0D0BA" WINS. London, May 8. Another classic "British stake was won by an American today when Richard Croker's Rhordora galloped home first in the One Thousand Guineas stake at New market.' Perched on the back of the filly was little Luclen Lyne, who won the American Derby of 1902 on Wyeth at Chicago. HO OSIERS ARE BEATEN. In a ninth Inning finish the University of Chicago baseball team defeated the Indiana university by the score of 1 to 0 yesterday afternoon at Marshall field. The Maroon score was forced in when Johnson of Indiana gave a base on balls with the sacks full, sending Falls home. Page held the Hoosiers to five hits, one of which was a triple and one a two-bagger. The v isitors threatened to score on several ocaeions, but Page held them down well at all the dangerous stages. SWARTHM0RE OUT 0 FIT. Swarthmore, Pa., May 8. The faculty of Swarthmore college has decided to abandon all football and basketball games for a year to test the theories advneed by President Eliot of Harvard that sports are inimical to a collegiate education. The faculty's decision is unanimous, and the students upon learning it today promised their hearty co-operation. SPORTING BRIEFS. The Hot Springs team got the jump on the others and has been leading the Arkansas league. If any one thought that Connie Mack was getting a dead one when he took over Jimmy Collins he had better start over again. Pitcher Elmer Steele will surely help Manager Kittredge and his Scranton team to a high position In the New York State , league. Another happy smile for Manager Jimmy McAleer of St. Louis. Jack Powell has the true ring of a pitcher this spring. It takes real money to run a minor league ball club. The owners of a South Atlantic team say they lost $4,000 last year and so far this season. they are in debt 1,600 and owe a salary list of $950 more. A baseball scribe says that Brooklyn is trying out a youngster by the name of Wilhelm, who is doing nice work. Wilhelm is doing nice work all right, but he is a youngster like Jake Beckley. Little McConnell, the Providence second sacker, is making good both lri the field and at the bat with ttie Boston Americans. Manager Bill Armour has his Toledo team going at top speed in the American association race. MAY GET PRISONER TO CONFESS (Continued from page 1). ness to Lamphere after Feb. 3, last. On that date Lamphere left Mrs. Gunness' employ and went to work for Whe'atbrook. Mystery Is No Clearer. The mystery doesn t become any clearer. Developments come thicker and thicker. Evidence of the great horror is accumulating until the-world stands aghast. The story that Mrs. Gunness was arrested at Syracuse proves to be wrong. The woman later proved her identity and was released from custody. Thousands of persons from all parts of Indiana watched the excavations yesterday. Bought Much Quick Lime. The authorities learned today that Mrs. Gunness was in the habit of purchasing her supply of quick lime from H. W. Richter of LaPorte. Richter said that she frequently bought lime in large quantities, telling him that she wanted it for building purposes or to use as a disinfectant. For services which Ritcher had rendered Mrs. Gunness he held a mechanics lien on her property for $720, and fears because this' lean he may have been the unconscious means of hastening the death of Andrew Helgelein. Three Skeletons in One Hole. In the excavations of Wednesday the skeletons of three adults were taken from one of the holes in the barn yard. In each case the victim was beheaded and the leg3 and arms separated from the trunk. Marks of an ax or meat cleaver were plainly shown on the fast decaping thigh bones and there were other signs of the , instrument. , The gunnysacks in which the remains were buried were .the only things which did not show the disintegrating effects of the quicklime used for the purpose of -completely, destroying all evidences of . the deeds., . All of the bones were found less than three feet below the surface of the sandy soil and within a space of four feet square, indicating that the burial of the three, was at the same time. Over the top of the bodies was piled the debris of the house yard, such as tin'cans, old shoes and such material. Mystery Within Mystery. A mystery within a mystery came oue as a result of Brojenski's identification of the two holes he dug. In one of the holes the corpses which have been identified as those of Jennie Olson and of Ole O. BudsBerg of loll. Wis. were found with two others. Budsberg, according to all the evidence, was killed in April, 1907. Miss Olson was murdered In November, 1907, is explainable on only one theory. That is that Mrs. Gunness kept corpses of her murdered victims stored in her ice box in the cellar. Barred Everyone From Cellar. This idea would seem to be borne out by the sedulous care with which she guarded the cellar from prying eyes. She allowed no one, not even her own children;, to enter it. The school

YOU MUST IRRIGATE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. (BY HERBERT KAUFMAN.)

Half a century ago there were ten million acres of land within a thousand miles of Chicago upon which not even a blade of grass would grow. Today upon these very desserts are wonderful orchards and tremendous wheatfields. The soil Itself was full of possibilities. What the land needed nu vrattr. In time there came farmers who knew that they could not expect the streams to come to them, and so they dug ditches and led the Mater to their properties from the surrounding rivers and lakes; they tilled the earth with their brains a8 well as their plows they became rich by understanding how to Irrigate. Advertising has made thousands of men rich just because they recognized the possibilities of Aitilizing the newspapers to bring streams of buyers into neighborhoods that could be made busy locations by irrigation by drawing people from other sections. The successful retailer is the man who keeps the stream of purchasers coming his way. It isn't the spot Itself that makes the store pay it's the man who makes the spot pay; who knows how to draw

the crowds. Centers of trade are created by the force which controls

New neighborhoods for business are being constantly built up by men who have located themselves in streets which they have changed from deserted by-ways into teeming, Jostling thoroughfares through advertising irrigation. The storekeeper who whines that .his neighborhood holds him back is squinting at the truth be Is hurting the neighborhood. If it lacks streams of buyers he can easily enough secure them by reaching out through the columns of the papers and inducing people from other sections to come to him. Every time he influences a customer of a competitor he Is not only irrigating his own field but is drying out the streams upon which a non-advertising merchant depends for existence. Men and women who live next door to a shop that does not plead for their custom will eventually be drawn to an establishment miles away because they have been made to believe in some advantage to be gained thereby. The circulation of every paper is nothing less than a reservoir of buyers from which shoppers stream In the direction that promises the most value for the least money. The magic development of the desert lands has its parallel in merchandising of men who consider the newspaper an Irrigating power which can make two customers grow where one grew before.

They had reached the bottom stair when their mother caught them and dragged them out, cuffed them and ordered them never again under any circumstances, to go into the cellar."

Unless there is an immediate set tlement of the Gary saloon question, the friends of the three county commissioners fear that. the board will be demoralized by the Influence under which they Sire working. The question is a trying one, so trying In fact that it has caused one of the commissioners to exclaim in dismay: "This is enough to drive a prohibitionist to drink!" "And if I were steeped, in whiskey," said another, "I don't think I would take another drink for the balance of my natural life." , "I am seriously thinking of having my telephone connections severed." said the third, "to escape the entreaties, inquiries and threats of the 'wets' and 'drys.' " These are only snatches and sighs of commentaries voiced by the county commissioners today, owing to the immense pressure that Is brought to bear On them. In Dark In More Than One. For the last few days they have been walking around in the dark in more than one sense of the word. They are on their way to Crown Point long be fore the dawn breaks and hurry home under cover of darkness to escape the ever present lobbyist. They sit up with a start when the telephone bell rings and when on the streets dodge around the corners as though they were haunted by some specter. One of them is said to have asked the address of the Keeley "Institute wirile the other was seen walking through an alley and asking for Shannon's address. The third one was seen sitting on the house stoop only last night and humming the tune: "If all the seas were ale, I'd like to be a whale." A Hammond man who keeps a drug store in the front part of his building said this morning: "The three county commissioners were elected as good capable men, but this thing Is getting to be too much. They are on the verge of nervous prostration, and their condition today is the best evidence as to what this question may do to a man." .

PIOrPEDST' ARE BANOUETTED Walkers Honored by Interurban Superintendent Last Night. James - Kroupa of Indiana Harbor, and John Kamradt of Hammond, were wined and dined and toasted last night at a banquet prepared in their honor and in honor of W. N. Rind and J. W. Chester, their "seconds," by Harry Lemon, superintendent of the local branch of the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend interurban. The event was a celebration following the famous walk of Kroupa and Kamradt from the Harbor to Gary on the occasion of the democratic convention and barbecue and the friends and the host of the principals in the walking match overwhelmed the latter with honors. The defeated pedestrian was the recipient of as many compliments as was the victor and the seconds came in for their share. All parties present did full justice to the elaborate menu that was temptingly set forth upon the festive board. Feed at Lake Shore Hotel. The banquet took place at the Lake Shore hotel at 9 o'clock, after the dining room had been cleared of the usual dinner guests and the company had the apartment all to themselves. There were covers for twenty and the table was made as attractive as possible with an abundance of red and white carnations. Mr. Lemon made the most charming and gracious of hosts, and all paid him the compliment of saying that in such capacity the street railroad man was at his best. Program of Toasts. There was an informal and impromptu toast program and every guest at the board had something to say that was entertaining and to the point. Besides the speeches there was music, every person present who had an "accomplishment" being urged to do a stunt. Mr. Kamradt made a nice talk In which he thanked his host for the entertainment offered and declared he was always ready to walk with anybody of his weight, any distance. This was regarded as in the nature of a challenge and it Is believed by some that another match may be pulled off with the champ as one of the principals in the near future. Kroupa Explains Defeat. Mr. Kroupa declared that while he lost he had the satisfaction of knowing he had been fairly beaten. Kroupa declared that he attributed his defeat in a great measure to overtraining, which caused his left leg to give out. Frequently along the way, he explained, he found it necessary to stop and have the member rubbed with whisky. This, he admitted, seemed like a sad waste of good material, but he explained that it was really necessary.

Lake County Masons Will Attend Corner Stone Laying at Capital in Large 'Numbers May 25-26.

Lake county Masons are much inter- j ested in the fact that the Indianapolis' Masonic lodges and Raper Comman-; dery, Knights Templars, have completed ! arrangements for laying the corner stone of the new Masonic Temple, at Illinois and North streets, in Indian apolis, and May 25 has been selected j for the ceremonies. j The annual Grand Lodge meetings are to be held there May 26 and 27, i and all of the 534 blue lodges In the j state will be represented at these meet- j Ings.

"There are," said Elmer F. Gay, chairman of the committe on arrangements, "fifty thousand Masons in Indiana 4,500 in the Indianapolis lodges alone. We are going to have a parade of blue lodge Masons in their lodge apron, and Knights Templars in uniform on the arternoon oi iuay io mat. j will be the biggest parade and most ; elegant one that Indianapolis has witnessed in many years. We should have between 5,000 and 8,000 men in line. Many more Masons will be in Indianapolis that day. We are sending out invitations to the Indiana lodges, urg ing them to be present in as large! numbers as possiDie to paruuiiare m this parade. A similar invitation is being issued to every Templar commandery in the state. Ceremonies in Afternoon. The corner stone laying will be at S o'clock in the afternoon. It will be laid by the grand master of Indiana Masons, Walter O. Bragg of Greenfield, who will be assisted by the Grand Lodge. The principal addresses of the afternoon will be by Vice President Charles Warren Fairbanks and Past Master Lincoln V. Cravens of Madison. The spectacular event or the aay, however, will be the parade, which, according to the plans formulated. Is to be formed in East Market and New Jersey street, in the vicinity of the market-house.

Indiana Masons assert that this will be the largest and finest fraternal building in this country used exclusively for one fra.ternal organization. POOR FARMS OF THE STATE DO NOT PROVE PROFITABLE. Few of Them Are Self-Supporting: as is Demonstrated by the Figures at Hand. Reports to the board of state charities from the ninety-two counties auditors of the state show that while all of the county poor asylums in the state have farms of varying size, few are self-supporting. The maintenance of the county poor asylums for the year 1907 amounted to $446,431.28; new buildings and extraordinary improvements cost an additional $148,624.42, bringing the total expenditure to $565,055.70. The sale of farm products brought into the county treasuries a total of $85,534.55. making the net expense of the institutions $509,521.15. The county auditors report a further expenditure of $207,471.34 on account of the dependent children and the township trustees spent $227,304.71 for outdoor relief of the poor. This makes a grand total of $1,029,831.75, and constitutes the principal items of expense incurred by the countiea and townships on aocount of tho poor during the year 1907.

LABOR NEWS The commercial telegraphers are said to be preparing for another strike. Resolutions were adopted at recent meetings of Chicago locals favoring a I general strike, to go into effect June j 1, unless demands presented before the strike of last August are granted ia full. A federation of all the union men employed in the shops of the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian Northern railroads has just been completed. They will fight the reductions in the new wage schedule. Similar action, it is said, may be taken by all of the American railroads, and may mark the beginning of a struggle between tho unions and tho railways. The Pennsylvania Cigarmakers' Blue Label League has started a printing office' for the purpose of turning out blue label advertising matter. All kinds of label advertising matter will be handled and the profits, if there are any, will go for an organization fund to be used among the Pennsylvania cigarmakers. ' In San Francisco there is a movement to organize all the laborers of the several departments of the municipality into a new union. The men of the fire department have asked the labor council for information upon the subject of forming a union, to work on lines similar to the various unions affiliated with the council. It is reported by the unions in New York City, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor that they have decided, at the request of the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders, to make a demand on the city official that the books for the different branches of the New York public library be bound by union men who aro American citizens. The labor union movement in Canada, where many of the unions are closely allied with those in the United States, has gained much ground in recent years. In 1907 there were 232 labor organizations' formed in Canada, while 58 organizations were dissolved, making a net increase of 174 organizations during the year.
