MORRIS QUITS IDE TOWN III A HURRY STiortstop on the Quaker Team , Did Not Take Kindly to The Roastings. FRED FIANT IS SECURED. JESSUP AND HIS BAND NOW AT PORTLAND SCHEDULE IS ARRANGED TO FIFTEENTH OF SEPTEMBER. (By TorM Owing to the fact that - the fans have been roasting him of late for his sloppy work George Morris, the shortstop on the Richmond team, took French leave, Monday night, boarding A train for Paris, III., where he will become a member of the team representing that city in the Eastern Illinois league. As soon as Manager Jeseup learned of Morris departure he got busy with the wires and before the evening was over had signed Fred Fiant, late second baseman of the KoTiomo team. Fiant will report for duty tot once at Portland. Morris had not been giving the Jllchmond team his best services. Of 'late it is understood he has been hitting the amberxand hop suds to such an extent as to impair his ability as a iball player. In condition Morris is an excellent player, being an especially good batter. Inasmuch as he refused to abide by the training rules of the team Manager Jessup does not regret losing him. Fred Fiant is the man Manager Jessup tried to secure for the locals before the I. O. league was organized. Fiant was a member of the Kokomo Independent team but before opening of the league he became ill and has Just recently, recovered. Rab Hare j is now holding down the place made vacant by Fiant in the Wildcat infield and he Is playing such a sensational game there thJt Fiant had no chance of displacing Mm. Fiant is a fast fielder and a good batsman. The locals have left for Portland where they will . play a three game series. Manager Jessup states that Horn would work against the Jays in the first one. Cole or Hunter will probably work Wednesday and Fleming will go into the box Thursday. Schedule la Arranged. Managers of the I. O. league teams met Monday'evening at Bluffton and drew up a rag time schedule which extends to September 15. To show the calibre of this schedule the following is cited. Up to date we have played six games with Decatur and none with Kokomo. The new schedule calls for five more games with Decatur and only four with Kokomo, all of the games with the Wildcats "being played here. The following Is the schedule: August 23, 24, 25 Decatur at Richmond. Van Wert at Portland. Bluffton at Kokomo. August 27, 23, 29. , Richmond at Van Wert. Decatur at Bluffton. Kokomo at Portland.

of starting a, fund, and with but one exception all of the placers of the disbanded club want to return here and they will no doubt be signed when their present season contract has expired. Although the Crown City is now represented by an all-home team, which has been playing Sunday only, this does not "fill the bill." Dunkirk has heretofore been the best ball town for its size in the state, and if it can secure a berth in the new league next year there is no reason why it will not maintain that reputation.

BOXES ARE CHANGED TO MEEHONDITIOHS Patrons of Rural Routes Comply With Law. ;

An order was issued some time ago that all rural route patrons who did not make their -mail boxes comply with the government regulations, would have their mail discontinued. Monday was last day of grace and as the result many farmers securing their mail via the rural routes out of jthis city immediately "got busy" and repaired their old boxes or substitut ed new ones. So far as known, all mall boxes on the eight routes emerging from Richmond are in good condition and no farmers will lose their service on account of them. ALEXANDER JESTER, FAMOUS CHARACTER, PAYS FINAL DEBT (Continued from Page One.) Jester was seen with both his own and Gates' outfit. Gates was traveling to his home in St. Charles, 111., and had written his parents that he was en route. His last letter to his parents was mailed only a few hours before his sudden disappearance. Begin Search for Missing Man. , Azel A. Gates, the father of the boy, became alarmed at his nonarrival and fearing that some disaster had befallen him left his home in search of his son. For days he failed to- find any trace of him. until at last it was discovered that he was traveling with Jester, and on reaching Hannibal, Mo., he found that Jester had both wagons. From that point on to Indiana it was easy to trace the outfit. On arriving at Bedford he found that Jester had returned to Kansas, and A. A. Gates reached Wichita before Jester at rived. He had by this time concluded that his boy was dead and that Jester was the murderer. Jester arrived at his home late in the afternoon and awaiting him was the sheriff and Azel A. Gates. Jester was taken to Mexico, Mo., and placed in the Audrain county jail to await trial. A few months later he, with several others escaped jail. He returned to Wichita and remained only one night when he left his family forever, never seeing but one of them since. He went to Texas, changed his name to William A. Hill and took up life anew. He was past 50 years of age. He was married three times while living twenty-five years in Texas. He entered the ministry and was noted for his fervid piety and it is a matter of record that he dedicated at Jeast one church. But his neighbors were always suspicious of him and many looked upon him as a criminal. Jester's Identity Discovered. After Jester's divorce from his fourth wife his identity became known to his sister, Mrs. Street, with whom he trave'ed from Indiana, and as she was growing old and having quite a sum of money she agreed that if he would not marry again she would purchase, a home for both of them and they would spend the remaining days of their lives in comfort and ease. To thi3 plan Jester agreed and the property was purchased. When the deed was made, Instead of being made out to the rightful owner, Mrs. Street, Jester had it made out to himself. Only a short time elapsed until for the fifth time Jester began preparations for entering the matrimonial state and when the fact became known to Mrs. Street she insisted that their compact be carried out, but this Jester refused. Exasperated at the thought that in her declining years she should be the victim of her brother's duplicity, she addressed a letter to John W. Gates telling him of the rightful name of the accused murderer of his broth er and where he lived. Mr. Gates chartered a special train, took with him the proper officers, and succeeded in placing the old man under arrest. At first he denied his identity, but later admitted that he was Alexander Jester, and gave a lurid account of his life since his escape from jail. ' Faces Trial for Ancient Crime. A change of venue was taken from Audrain county and the case sent to Ralls, and Jester confined in the jail at New London, where in July 1900, over twenty-nine years after the crime had been committed, he was brought to trial. After five weeks of trial he was acquitted, the state being unable to prove that Gilbert Gates wa3 dead, the corpus delecti being lacking. $1,000 PILE CURE. A Thousand Dollar Guarantee goes with, .every bottle of Dr. Leonhardt's Hem-Roid. George Cook, St. Thomas, Ont.. writes: "Dr. Ireonhardt's Hem-Roid cured me of a very bad case of Piles of over ten years" standing. I had tried everything, but got no permanent cure till I used Hem-Roid. I had Blind and Bleeding Piles, and suffered everything. Dr. Leonhardt's Hem-Roid cured me perfectly." Hem-Roil removes tho cause of Piles. $1.00. Leo H. Fihe, Richmond, Ind., or The Dr. Leonhardt Co., Niagara Falls, N. Y. Two years' imprisonment was the punishment meted out the other day in the Punjab to a Hindoo who had gone about telling the people that there would be no plague at all did not the English prison wells In order to reduce the population. He had an accomplice who helped to make his story plausible by putting balls of flour and other substances into tanks and fountains.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE MARKET jOOSE PAYING There Is a Big Increase Shown In Business.

WEATHER NOT A FACTOR. That the Investment of almost (no thousand dollars In improvements on the old market house at the comer of South Sixth and A streets was a paying proposition. Is evidenced hy the exceptionally large number of gardeners who exhibit vegetables aud other food stuffs at the market plce. each week. Practically all of iie booths are filled, while hundreds of people visit the scene. Several hundred dollars worth of business Is do-e each Saturday. Heavy rains do i;t keep the marketers or dealers away as it did last year, for the reason that they do not have to wade about in slush and mud as they were compelled to do before the broad cepjent sidewalks and gutters were installed. The interior of the market hous-a is also much more convenient and pleasant. Endorsed by the County. "The most popular remedy in Otsego County, and the best friend of my family," writes Wm. M.
