HARNESS

Leather clear through Har-
ness wanters walk through
the shoe store half forgetting
that the Basement right below
them holds the most complete
harness store in town. There
is not a skip in the readiness
to supply all the road and
stable needs. The finest Har-
ness we carry regularly in
stock is $3.50 a double set
You've English-made and
American-made side by side
to choose from But you
needn't buy the ready-made
we'll turn out anything you
need-the finest mountlngs
alone costing as much as the
best ready-made Harness we
show.
Light Road Harness, honestly hand
made; best leather, S25 to $50 a set
Hand made Harness, genuine Rubber
Mountings, Sl6.5O.
Light Road Harness, sewed on Camp
bell lock stitch machine; imitation
rubber mountings, So 80. Haven t
had IA complaint in three years. The
repair men say they d rather rip up
hand sewing than this best machine
work. If they could use as heavy
and hard twisted thread on machines
as in hand making you'd almost
count it best.
So more for this same style with
Rubber Mountings. $3.50.
Surrey Harness:
Nickel plated mountings, S25
Solid nickel mountings S35.
Silver plated mountings, $40 and up
to SO.
Light Double Harness, nickel plate

People who ought to know
say we have more Harness on
show than any other Harness
store in Philadelphia and
lower prices rule.
1t seems impossible to state
our case fully in the papers.
If you are interested We'll be
glad to have you write.

A WATERLOO.
Is what the Escanaba "DocK wolEo=
pers'' administered to the Eagle
River boys.

Last Saturday and Sunday the great
Escanaba ball team was here, and leave
us, with their reputation as winning bail
players, still unmarried
That our team was out-classed with
the exception OF the battery is admitted
by all.
The visitors were the strongest aggre-
cation of ball players that ever chased a
ball or swore at the umpire on the Eagle
River ball diamond.
The Saturdays game was called at
3 o'clock and found Dostch and Driscoll
in the points for the visitors and Dia-
mond and Lee for the home team. On
the start it looked like an easy victory
for the home team the score standing in
the third inning four to nothing in our
favor. But in the fourth the visitors
drew themselves together and began
batting like old yeterns, piling up 5 runs
still had the outfield for the home team
put up the game they ought we would
have won. Bnt they seemedito try andsee
which could make the most errors. Our
boys touched up Mr.. Dostch for thirteen
safe hits, while Diamond had fourteen
against him, the former having five
strike outs. and the latter eleven. The
game ended with a score of s to II in
favor Of the visitors.
In Sundays game Mr. Stack. who has
q far and wide reputation as an anne
teaur pitcher was iii the box for the visi-
tors and Diamond was in his old posi-
ton
The largest crowd OF the season was
out to this game, a number from Wau-
sau, RhineIander, Minocqua, Conover;
Three Lakes and Wate1smeet being in
attendance. The Watersmeet crowd
"hooted" hard for the Wolyeriens and
so much confidence had they in their ma
tive state teams ability winning that
they got a little reckless and offered odds
Of two to one that their favorites would
win by a score of two to one They lost
and were a little down i'll spirits as they
departed for home. The game proved to
be very close and interesting one.
The visitors proved themselves to be
great hitters, N. NJ. Smith being credited
with the longest hit ever made on the
grounds being sky scraper over left
field fence, two others SEALING right field
and being credited to McCarty and R.
Smith.
Our boys could only find Stack for two
safe hits one of these being a scratch.
The fielding of Carley in center was up to
its usual standard In the eight inning
theIhome team had the basesfull but were
unable to score III the ninth two ofour
boys died OH bases. Diamond struck
out men and Stack II.
It's no disgrace to loose two straight
to such a team as Escanaba carry.
they have played 81 games with strong
amateaur teams from both Michigan and
Wisconsin and lost but three which is
an enviable record. They are the best
amateaur talent Wisconsin and Michi-
gan have, being picked up from both
states. The game ended with a score OF
5 to s in the visitors favor.

ROBBED UNCLE SAM.
Assistant Postmaster at Eagle River
Bowed In 500 OF Postal Funds
at the Poker Table.
Committed to Milwaukee Jail In Default of
S., 900 Bail.

Chas. Huckbody, late assistant post
master at Eagle River, was taken to
Milwaukee Thursday morning, by Dep
uty u. S. Marshal r. B. Pratt, where he
was committed to jail in default of $3, 600
bail for elnbezzling money order funds.
Huckbody had charge of the postoffice
for S. w Smith postmaster, and his
populations covered a period OF many
months. 1t appears that he fell into the
habit OF visiting the gaming table and,
losing what money he had, he borrowed
from the postal funds i'll order TO win
back what he had lost 1t is the same
old story. He got in it SO deeply that he
could not get out, and became reckless.
His shortages We're covered up by false
entries. In speaking Of the matter he
said he knew it was only q matter OF
time when he would be discovered and
arrested He watched every train, and
when he saw a stranger he imagined he
was an officer. When Postofice inspect
er NJ. G. Price called at the Office Huck-
body made clean breast of the matter
and gave himself up. Inspector Price
brought him to Amigo, where he was
met by Deputy .. $. Marshal Pratt and
u. S. District attorney ]. H. n. Wigman.
The young man was taken before j. E..
Martin y. S. Court commissioner and
bound over to the e. S. Circuit Court
His father came over from Wausau and
is endeavoring to make up the shortage
and relieve Postmaster Smith. The
young man comes from a good family
and he had the implicit sonfdence Of Mr..
Smith, 50 much SO that the latter gave
him full control OF the office. He had a
wife and two children at Eagle River
