A curious point in Swedish criminal
law is that confession is necessary before
sentence can be carried out. If, how
ever, the culprit persists in protesting
his innocence in the face of overpewer-
ing evidense, the prison discipline is
made extremely strict and severe, until
the desired confession is obtained.

JOLIET GIVES UP.
Couldn't Support Bali Club Any
Longer.
Tne First Pennant Winners Fail to
show Up as Sche duled- What
Will He the Next Mover

TIE Joliets were scheduled to play
here TODAY, tomorrow, and the three
succee ding days, but SO far the club has
failed to msterisliZe. The local club
went to the grounds in uniform this
afternoon, and in the absence OF the Wis.,
ting club Umpire Stockwell declared the
game 9 to O in favor of Rock Island Mo-
line There are various reports ahoat IN
explanation of Joliet's non appearance.
One is that the GLIB will not leave home
again under the new schedule; another
that the club which started out with such
brilliant aggregation at the opening OF
the season with boosted $500 capi-
tai, has simply collapsed, because the
town wouldn't support the club when it
was at the head of the list. much less
now, while still another rumor is tina.
Manager Murray and some of his players
were anxious to get away TO accept more
desirable terms in the Southern league
What will be the outcome remains to
be seen. At present it looks blue for
the league, and unless the Joliet forfeit
money can be devoted to the putting in
OF another club at Freeport or Peoria. the
league must certainly 60 under. II
the league does stop now, the Twins
are the second pennent champions.
President Hodges has been in Geographic
communication with Secretary McCaull
this afternoon, but so far has received
no official information as to Joliet. Per-
haps the club may continue after all. 1t
certainly was the last suspected of dis
banding until Saturday last when rumors
got sf1oat of what might happen II
town like Jacksonville can stick it out,
Joliet ought certainly to.
At present it is hard to forecast the
outcome of the leagues predica
ment. It's end may come at any moment
and if the worst does come, Joliet may
have the credit Of bringing about the dis
sster. Under any circumstances, we say
all glory to the trio of clubs which have
stuck it out to the end-Rock Island
Moline, Rockford and Jacksonville.

two costly errors that let in three more
runs. which lead the home team was un-

Some Comparative Per Centages.
In point of numbers the Methodists
stood first in 1850 and still retain the posi-
ton Nearly one-third of all the church
edifices belong to the Methodist church,
while the Baptists can lay claim to more
than one-quarter. Relatively speaking,
the Episcopal church retains about the
same position to the other denominations
as it did in 1850. On the other hand, the
Roman Catholic church has advanced con-
siderably, from II trifle over per cent. of
the total number to over per cent. In
point of value, however, the Roman
Catholic church has made still greater
strides, from an ownership of 1O15 per
cent. of all 1.-The church property to an
ownership ofsfs2 per cent In this respect
the Ronls1 .Catholic church now ranks
second IN Importance, being exceeded
only by the Methodist, which returns a
trifie over 2otS per cent of the total value.
In 1850 the value of church property of
four denominations-Met Presby-
terrain, Baptist and Episcopal, outranked
the Roman Catholic church in this re-
spect.

Women Wild for Cheap Goods.

EVANSVILLE, o., Aug. 15.-War be-

and Sturtevant, over corset sales, led to q
mob of womin taking possession of each
store, breaking show cases and counters
and compelling the proprietors to close
their doors. Rivalry had been going on
for a week and finally corsets were adver-

Nearly 900 women surrounded each store
and after the doors were closed one dealer
