Mansfield, O., April 30.-The Wheel
ing and Mansfield clubs arrived here
this afternoon, and the local team was
accorded flattering reception. A big
crowd Of fans" assembled at the de-
pot to receive them, and Manager
| Strothers was congratulated on all
sides upon the excellent showing of his
men. Mansfield fans believe they
have as good a chance for the Inter
state pennant as any team in the Lea
que. Strothers has signed two new
pitchers from the Western League, and
one Of them will go into the box to-
morrow, If the weather is favorable,
The rain to-day disappointed a big
crowd, but if the sun shines tomorrow
the crowd at the Park will exceed the
opening day attendance in any of the
Interstate cities. Managers Coyle and
Harrington say they will present their
strongest team tomorrow and endeaver
to break even with Mansfield by win
ming the game. Wheeling will play in
Toledo Sunday, and a big crowd is ex-
pected Coyle will probably pitch the
opening game against his old club.
Second Baseman Kress, who was re-
leased by Wheeling has signed a
GAINESVILLE contract, and left for that
city.
Dave Curran, the Little Washington
player. now playing first base for
Springfield. made a battery record in
Wednesdays game that will probably
oI1 In In ctaf 20 I
que. says the Pittsburg Post. He made
four hits. including two home runs,
triple and a double, total Of thirteen
bases. I4aioie has the National Lea
que record for the season, with ten, two
Triples, a double and two singles.
It must be gall and wormwood for
Manager Stroble, OF Toledo, to lose
three straights TO Fort Wayne. Five
players who We're not fast enough for
Toledo. were released and signed by
Fort Wayne, and they took no small
part in defeating Toledo. No, Fort
Wayne is mot Toledo farm"
EVERYTHING vii be forgiven if Wheel
ing will win the game at Mansfield to-
day.
The fans over the circuit are at last
awakening TO the conclusion that Mans
field can play ball and that Manager
Strouthers has gotten together an ag-
gregation that will be a worthy eXpon-
ent over the circuit for this go-ahead
city. When Mansfield entered the Lea
que a great laugh arose over the cir
cult. and everybody predicted that
Mansfield would cross the tape some
time after the other seven clubs had
finished the season. They felicitated
themselves that such an easy town as
Mansfield was coming in, as any club
that was going down the hill as far as
percentage goes could come to Rich
land county's capital and get a boost
up the hill again. They're all getting
braveIy over that, however.-Mans6eld

Wednesday, which says:
a battle has been proceeding near
TTikketla, upon which the Turks are
now advancing. They are superior in
force and hope to cut off the Greeks

The inhabitants are returning here

opinion that the war will continue, but
all agree that the morale of the Greeks
has been ruined by a shameful fight
and that they are not likely hereafter

any man has the chance of securing IA

said to have acquired handsome indie

ed because Col. Alger had not obtained
leave of absence in the usual manner,
from the commanding officer, and had
him reported absent without leave. To
due time the Michigan colonel of cavalry
recovered, and joining another division
was rapidly promoted. Some years after
the war closed, Col. Alger learned for the
first time that Custer had smirched his
war record on mere technicalty. This
WAS brought up against him when he was
talked of for the presidential nomina-
ton for president in 1883 and 1892,
and as soon as he WAS mentioned for a
cabinet place under Mr.. McKinley's ad-
ministration, his enemies brought to light
for second time these old records from
the war department.
Gen. Ager has every reason to be proud
of his war record. He participated in 6S
battles, and by every commander under
whom he served-Custer included-he
was mentioned for brilliant service in
general orders, and recommended for
promotion. His honors in the service of
his country were honestly earned, fact
attested by his superior officers and the
old soldiers who marched to battle under
his command,

The selection of Lieutenant V. E.
Stottler to be agent of the Jicarila
Apaches and Pueblo INDIANS in this city is
an admirable one and the commissioner of
Indian affairs displayed excellent ludg-
ment in the matter. Lieutenant Stottler
has made very enviable record as agent
of the Mescaleros in southern New Mexico
and under his administration these Indians
have advanced more and made more
progress than they have in many years
before The post of the agent of the
Jicarillas and the Pueblo5 here is a very
important one, but Judging from Lieu
tenant Stottler's character, ability and
past record, he will fill it well and salts
factorily. Indeed, a better selection
conld not have been made for all inter
ested, the Indians, the government ane
the people.

fame and fortune was taken August 5,
1858. He had an eye for constantly
better employment, and one day he went
into the Merchants Savings, Loan d Trust
Co. bank and asked the cashier for po-
sition. He was surprised to find that his
application was favorably considered.
The bank needed a bookkeeper and was
willing to give him a trial at $500 year.
This was all Gage wanted. His pro-
motions began in less than ak months,
He was made paying teller in short
time, and later became assistant cashier.
He remained with this company until he
was offered the position of assistant
cashier of the First National bank, and
with this institution he has remained ever
since. In due time be became vice presi
dent and then president. It was his pub
| lie record, in efforts to allay the discon
tent and rioting of 1887 that gave him his
greatest prestige. He was moving
spirit in the Worlds fair, and contrib
ted largely to the success of that great
exhibition. He was it's first president
and strongest hacker.
Mr.. Gage has been twice married. In
1864 he was united to MISS Sarah Ether
idge, of New York, who died in 1874 leav
ing a son, Eli Gage, now a young man o.
30 years of age. His present wife was
Miss Cornelia Washburn, of Albany.
