There will be an Important meeting of the Citizens' Improvement association at Moss hall on Friday night at 8 o'clock for the purpose of considering some Important matters. Retrains From State Fair. Attorney E. W. Wickey returned yesterday morning from the state fair, held last week at Indianapolis. He reports the political outlook as highly encouraging. "Talk of a 50,000 majority for the republican national ticket is common," he says, "and even former Bryan enthusiasts have seen the error of their ways and are solid for Taft and Watson." Mr. Wickey will devote the greater portion of his time between now and November in the jirosecution of his own campaign. .. Demand Was Enormous.

Many of the towns have distinctive costumes by which their women can be recognized anywhere. Those of Mana-Klrke, near Ostend, wear trousers and loose blouses, while their heads and shoulders are covered by shawls. They carry their nets into the sea and scoop up vast quantities of shrimps and prawns, with an occasional crab or lobster and many small fish. They often wade out till the water is up to their necka, and they remain for hours at a time in water above their knee3, rarely returning until their baskets are full.

Battering the hide off the cardinals, 5 to 3, as a sort of swan song, the cubs bids farewell to their palatial hoke yesterday. They won't be back again until Oct. 4, when the pirates will be take none for one last hurray. In the meantime the champs have struck the tics for St. Louis, and will then bat arund the eastern circuit and Cincinnati until it is time to prance home again. It depends entirely or this globetrotting tour where the home joys will land. It really looks as if they will have to cop about everything In sight, while the arch enemies. New York and Pittsburg, will be compelled to drop some by the wayside. This is rather a tough job to undertake. But the fact that the champs have always been known as good travelers Is a sort of a buoy to the hopes of the delirious fans. THIS IS WHAT HURTS. Detroit, Sept. 9. Some brainstorm baseball-in the seventh inning of today's game cost the sox a decision that seemed surely coming to the mat the end of the first round. In that initial period they had ripped off five runs, two Detroit pitchers being sent into action before the side was reitred. Both were wild and ineffective. Either the sox waited and walked or watched for the ball to come over and walloped It. Five tallies in the first and another in the second gave a lead that ought to win any game for a good ball club. That it went twelve innings and that the tigers finally won, 7 to 6, was due principally to one savage onslaught on Nick Altrock, followed by the grandest exhibition of high and distant heaving of the year, no less than three distinct errors, costing an equal number of runs, being made on one ball that was hit to the pitcher, in this case Frank Smith.

NOTES

STATEMENTS BY THREE MEN IN THE RING. BY BATTLIXG XELSOX. I fought Gans to show clearly that I was his master, but I will never meet a colored boxer again. I shook hands with Billy Papke on this agreement today. He also said he would never meet a colored man. Gans fought a different kind of battle today. He was tougher and inb etter shape than on the last occasion. I hurt my right hand in the second round, but used It through the fight. BY JOE GAXS. I've fought one time too many and I will never fight again. Xelson beat me fairly. This is no Pattl farewell, I mean to retire for good and nil. BY REFEREE SMITH. t Nelson had Gans going from the ninth. Willie Keefe, who was sitting near his corner, begged Gans to be allowed to .throw the sponge into the ring In the eleventh, but he refused he preferred to fight as long as he could stand. For the lat ten rounds Gnus fought on his courage alone, as he realized he was not hurting Nelson. Both the timekeeper and myself counted ten before Gans arose, so there can be no question of the count having been told off.

Ex-Maroon To Coach Purdue Eleven

r f.r 1 , JSf C. U. AND ITS FOOTBALL DOPE. Lout Season's "Snb" Will rrobably Get a Permanent Position. Steffen, Iddins, Schott and Page for the 190S maroon backfield. This is the makeup of Stagg's combination behind the lin for the coming season, according to the prediction of the Midway players yesterday, when Page, the star end of last year's eleven, was drafted into the ranks of the backfield candidates. The shifting of Page to the back field, an important change in the Chicago ineup, is regarded in the maroon camp as Coach Stagg's pet scheme to strenghten his scoring machine. Page made a great reputation at end, and the maroons believe he will appear to even better advantage at full back, back, where his line bucking proclivities will make him a formidable player. With the decision to use both Page and Schott in the back field, the maroon team is nearer shaped than has been possible for several seasons so long before the first game. Page is slated to fill Merriam's position, according to the latest plans, while Schott, the studious candidate of Sioux City, will be placed in De Tray's vacancy at half back, with Iddings as a running mate. SPORTING BRIEFS. Not only his feat of catching a ball dropped from the Washington monument, but his daily playing as well has stamped Charley Street as one of the star backstops of the major leagues. Ed Walsh pt the Chicago Americans and Christy Mathewson of the New York Nationals are pitching great ball this season and are keeping about even in their won and lost games. Secretary Willie Locke of the Pitts-

.1 - 2;Vfv, -

burg club says he was paid for an attendance of 68,000 for the four games In New York, during the Pirates' last trip east. Pitchers Sparks and McQuillan, both of the Philadelphia Nationals, have been sued for divorce by their wives, who allege abandonment and failure to provide. If the St. Louis Browns can stick within a game or two of the Detroit Tigers until they return home it will be great doings for the lead of the American league. "Tacks" Neuer is a tourist for fair. Starting the season with the New York Americans he was sent to Newark, thence to Little Rock, then on to the Chicago Nationals, which club, has now shipped him to Johnstown, Pa., in exchange for Pitcher Kroh. Kroh was tried by the Boston Americans last fall. Jimmy Collins' three year contract, which is generally understood to read $8,000 a year, will expire at the end

of the present season. Philadelphia assumed the contract, which was made in Boston, when Jim joined the Athletics. It is scarcely two years since the New York Nationals paid $10,000 to St. Louis for Shay and Shannon, and neither is now with the Giants. Shannon is with Pittsburg and Shay is on the Pacific coast. Shortstop Jack Knight, now with Baltimore, should be an improvement over Ball with the New York Americans. Jack is the much better hitter of the two. NOTES OF THE MINOR LEAGUES. Lave Cross has his Shamokin team at the top of the Atlantic league. Since joining Providence Ralph Glaze, the ex-Boston pitcher ah.bees taoi V .4 " Pfr ft -r the ex-Boston pitcher, has been pitching great ball, winning ten of his first twelve games. The Montgomery club has lived up to its title of "Climbers" by forcing its way from the bottom and giving the Southern league leaders the scare of the season. Saginaw, Kalamazoo and Jackson teams have been buched in the lead of the South Michigan league race. And only eighty points has separated the next five teams. Richmond, Danville and Roanoke are fighting hard for Virginia league honors. In the Wisconsin-Illinois league the Wausau team seems to have things pretty much its own way. The clubs of this league have played mighty fine ball this season and no doubt several of the players will go higher. The Eastern and Southern leagues and the American association are all having as close races as are the National and American leagues. Things have broken about right for the Springfield team in the Three-I league race this season. Whenever Dubuque, Peoria or Decatur got within striking distance some piece of hard luck caused them to fall back. Omaha and Sioux City are still fighting for the Western league pennant. During nearly the whole of the present season these two teams have been neck and neck at the top of the West- ' ern. The baseball team of , Fairbanks Alaska, is preparing for a tour of the United States. The trip, if present plans are carried out, will be the most extensive that any baseball nine ever has taken within the limits of American territory.

The First Boarder. By Temple Bailey. T Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated 3. Literary Press. '!' I"I"1' l 1111 I I 1 1 I I Ml f It was so different from the usual summer boarding place that Denton stopped short and eyed doubtfully the wide lawn, the massive stone house and the garden flaming with June roses. He even looked at the great mastiff that sauntered toward him with a suspicious eye. ! "Look here, old fellow," he said, "are you in a fairy tale, or is this just an everyday fact?" "Duke, come here," called a clear voice, and the dog bounded back to the porch. ; Denton followed him. 1 "Are you the princess?" he asked of the owner of the clear voice. The girl flushed and stared. ; "I don't understand" she stammered. ' Denton laughed. "I beg pardon," he apologized, "for boring you with my fancies. But this place is so beautiful that I thought I had stepped out of real life Into fairyland and that the dog was the monster that guarded the gate and that you were the enchanted princess." i The girl's eyes twinkled. "I'm not a princess," she told him. "I'm your landlady." Something of a disappointment crept into Denton's, expression. ! "Then you are Mrs. Carter?" he hazarded. "Miss Carter," she corrected, and he looked relieved. "In the letter that I wrote you I signed myself Mehitabel Carter, and I suppose you thought I had gray hairs and wrinkles." ! "The name did suggest them," he mused, watching her sparkling face. "Every one around here calls me Belle," she explained. "But of course when one writes letters to prospective boarders one realizes that a dignified name is an asset." i "Certainly," he agreed and settled Dack in his chair, content to listen and look. i But his hostess was more energetic. I "111 show you your room," she said and led the way through the spacious nail and up the stairs to the second story. When Denton came down a little later and found his landlady walking In the rose garden he said to her: "You needn't tell me. This is an enchanted castle. Who ever heard of jwhite bathtubs and nickel trimmings and pond lily friezes and Circassian walnut furniture for $10 a week?" I A little anxious frown burrowed Miss Carter's forehead. "I was afraid I was charging too much," she said. You see, you are my first boarder." It appeared on further conversation that there were to be six other boarders, and they were to arrive at 7:30. "Five of them are maiden ladles," Miss Carter explained, "and I told them they might bring their cats and parrots" "And the other one?" Denton de manded. "Is a man," said Miss Carter, "and he wants to bring his automobile." i Denton gazed pensively across the garden toward the purple hills. "Alas, he sighed, "and I brought only a typewriter. The automobile is the dragon that I must slay." She stiffened a little at that. "I don't think I quite understand,' 6he said. "Of course cot," Denton agreed quite cheerfully, "as a writer of stories I deal much in metaphor. It isn't to be expected that you would understand But you will some day." I He switched to other topics and learned that the beautiful house, with Its beautiful furniture, had been the girl's summer home. That the failure fcf her father in business and his ab sence to fill a position in another city made her decide that the house must support itself or be sold. So 6he had advertised for boarders, and, with two old and trusted servants, she was go ing to make it pay. "We raise all of our vegetables," she confided, "and we have our cows and make butter, and there are plenty of chickens and eggs' i Don't say any more," Denton begged. "I am hungry enough as it is without hearing of real milk and but ter and eggs." She laughed. "The train is due now," she said; "as soon as the other boarders get here we will have sup per." ; Contrary to Denton's expectations, the six old maids proved to be delight ful company. Three of them were teachers, one of them wrote for the magazines, one, having a private for tune, was something of a globe trot ter, and the sixth, being domestically inclined, had brought the cat and par rot. I The one man was the object of Denton's special observation. His name was Nesselrode. "He makes me think of a pudding,' Denton remarked to Miss Carter. I don't think he looks that way at all," Miss Carter said indignantly. "I think he is very handsome, if he is stout" "Oh, I don't mean his looks," Denton remarked resignedly, "but his name." Nesselrode, however, proved to ' be very good company, and it became quite a matter of course that the two men should spin through the country every morning in the big motor car. In the afternoon Nesselrode always

took Miss Carter, and in the back seat

be packed two and 6ometimea three of the old ladies. "And I stay at home with the cat and "parrot," Denton remarked Indignantly to Miss Carter one evening when he had carried her off to the rose garden, "for the old ladies who don't go with you always take their nap3 at that time, and If It wasn't for ; the cat and parrot I should die of lone- ; llness." "It's too bad," Miss Carter nrormured sympathetically. "Too bad!"' Denton flared. "It's preposterous, lie takes me Id the morning and you in the afternoon, and X hare been here three weeks, and I haven't had an hour's comfortable conversation with you since that first day.' "When you thought I was a princess," said Miss Carter demurely. "I still think you are a princess, said Denton ardently. He leaned toward her, and the moonlight showed his pale, eager face. "I still think you are a princess, and, now that I have found you in your enchanted castle, I yearn to carry you away with me to my kingdom" There was a rustle in the leaves be hind them. Miss Carter sat up straight. "Who is it?" she cried sharply. "Who is there?" "Polly, Polly," said a chuckling, wavering voice, "pretty, pretty Polly." Then a deeper voice boomed beyond the bushes. "Is that you, Miss Carter? I am looking for Miss Pierce's parrot," "I can't even propose to you without his butting In," Denton complained the next night when he had Miss Carter to himself for a moment in a corner of the dark porch. "Say yes' before he finds us here, princess, and" "How do you know" Miss Carter's voice trembled through the darkness. I do not know," he said softly. "I can only hope" As he reached out his hand to take hers his fingers touched something warm and velvety. Purr urr up," came a confiding feline murmur just as Nesselrode's lumbering figure loomed near the steps. "Did Miss Tierce's pussy cat come over here, Denton? I've been sent to look her up." That night a burglar entered Miss Carter's house. Denton was the first to give the alarm, and he showed the family silver piled up in the middle of the table in the dining room, with the corners of the cloth twisted over It. "I saw a light," he said, "and I came and I suppose he was scared away. I had not been to bed" Miss Carter, very beautiful In a rosy dressing gown, examined the 6ilver. "I think everything is here," she said. You are sure that nothing is gone from your room?" Denton asked. "He might have gone there first." Miss Carter flew upstairs, with the six old ladles at her heels. When she came down she was as white as chalk. My pearl necklace is gone," she said. Denton turned to Nesselrode. "Per haps If you took your automobile and followed the man you might , get the pearls" "But" Nesselrode protested. "There are no buts In the service of a lady," Denton reminded him gravely. And after Nesselrode had whizzed away, and the six old ladies had re tired to their rooms to talk it over. Denton detained Miss Carter. And when he had pulled down the shades of every window, and when he had closed the door, he put his hand In his pocket and pulled out the pearl necklace. "All's fair," he said, "in love" , "But" she gasped. "There was no burglar," Denton de clared. "I found the pearls on the porch after you went In, and that gave me the Idea, and I mussed up the things on the table. It was the only way that I could get to see you again tonight, and I couldn't stand another day of Nesselrode's monopolising" Slowly a smile curved Miss Carter's lips. "Any one would know you were a writer of stories," 6he said, "there were so many easier ways." "I couldn't think of any," Denton, said, "so I tried this." He went toward her. "Nesselrode will be back presentely. We must be quick. Oh, princess, Is it 'yesT Her cheeks were as rosy as her pretty gown. "Of course when the prince storms the castle the princess surrenders." As he kissed her they heard the "chug-chug" of the returning automobile. Nesselrode came in, puffing. "Not a sign" he began and stopped. The two people by the table were smiling radiantly. "I am so sorry," Miss Carter said as she held out her hand, in which glimmered a little heap of milk white beads, "I am so sorry that you had your drive for nothing, Mr. Nesselrode, but" she hesitated and then went on steadily "but but Mr. Denton found the pearls!" Circular Storms. Meteorologists are now agreed that what are called circular storms are not circular in the proper sense of the word. There is not merely a flow of air round, but also convergence toward a central area. There is also a large upflow over and near the central area and also an outflow above and a descent probably in the outskirts of the storm area; hence the motion Is successively complicated. It Is also very variable, as squalls and gusts of the most violent character may alternate with strong but less destructive winds; also la the cyclonic storms of the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere the winds in the same quadrant of cyclonic storm and from the same general direction differ largely in their meteorological character.
