The Missions gained fifty points on
the leaders by defeating the Alamos
last night in two prettily contested
games, which took place at Sommer's
garden. While an even break would
have kept the Missions and the Ala
mos within closer range, Captain
Briams men had higher aspirations.
1t was the Casinos they were after,
and it now behooves the latter to in
crease their pace, or they will have
steady company.
The Alamos did good work at times
last night, but they could not keep it
up. Several times they were in the
lead, but it was only at short inter-
walls, for the Missions would then
wedge in with a couple of well direct
ed mines and twelves and leave the
Alamos hopelessly behind. The visi-
tors took the first game by IS pins and
the second by 6S pins.
1t was expected that the Alamos
would take at least one game of last
nights series, for Captain Altman's
team II NOllSlNS4Gu OLc VI Nuc olIOuStSl
in the league. But luck was against
them, while their opponents were more
or less favored with this coveted jewel
and coupled with good work they
justly deserve their well-earned vic
tory.
The teams were made up as follows:

New York, Nov ga conference
was held in this city today between
representatives of the largest silver
smelling and refining works in the
United States. The conference will be
continued throughout the week. One
of those present at the conference to-
day said: We are meeting simply
for the purpose of creating greater
harmony and union among the smelt-
erS and refiners. It is true that We
are looking toward consolidation, but
not consolidation in the sense of a sill
yer trust. What we want to do is to
establish the smelling and refining
companies into joint agencies, 50 that
the prepared metal may have reader
in which each company will be repre-
sented, which shall indicate where
each amount of stock shall be placed.
Each company being of equal standing
with the others and having equal au-
thOrity there will be no such severe
competition, as there has been in our
former experience
The following companies were rep
resented at the conference:

Chicago and Aurora Smelling and Re
fining company, Pueblo Smelling and

A DELICATE POINT.
Ex-Confederate Ball. at Dallas, Tex.
Will Not be a Full Dress Affair.

Dallas, Nov. 23.-There are several
thousand needy ex-COnfederate soldiers
in Texas for whom no public provisions
have been made in the way of financial
appropriations by the state. They are
not eligible for admission to the Con-
federate Home at Austin. Two weeks
ago a movement was started in Dallas
to give a grand charity ball on the
night of December % to raise a fund
for the benefit of the INDECENT veterans.
The ball is to be an elaborate event.
All the officials, members of congress
and other political dignitarieS are to
participate. Camp Sterling Price, eX-
Confederate Veterans of Dallas, has
charge of part of the programme.
1t has been determined to make a full
mentS in that line had progressed we'll
this might not be advisable, as Con-
rassed to the point of having to decline
casiOn. A committee, consisting of Col
James B. Simpson, Col. E G. Bower, DR..
c. V Armstrong and Messrs. Galloway
and Nardell, was appointed to report on
the matter,At tOdays meeting of Camp
Sterling Price it was decided that a
full-dreSS affair would not do; that the
dignity Of the ball would have to be
lowered to the Prince Albert degree, so
rs to let in such social back numbers
as Congressman Bailey. The ball is
going to be a hummer, however, and its
promoters declare it will net the needy
veterans several thousand dollars.

Does Some Good Shooting.

Kansas City, Nov. 23.-The effort to
bring about another meeting between
the Kansas and Nebraska foot ball
teams will not prove successful owing
to the fact that Nebraska still con-
tends for a guarantee of $1,000, while
the Kansas men will not recede from
the very liberal propositions made to
the men of Lincoln.
Treasurer Moody yesterday receiv-
ed word from Manager Curry that Ne
braska thought it was worth 1000 to
play Kansas again, and that unless
their proposition was accepted negotia-
tions would be declared off. The Kan
sas people take this as the final act
ion of Nebraska and have no hope of
getting a game.
In the meantime the fact remains
that Nebraska has acted very much
like professionals in the matter and
friends of Kansas are urging them to
put an end to all connections with the
Nebraska team.

THE PRICE WE PAY
To Satisfy the r paeity of Pure Food
Counterfeit iters.

People value their grocer in proper
tion to his integrity in furnishing pure
food for the family use The father of
a family of children would have some
thing to say if he discovered that
harmful ingredients were introduced
into the food bought for his little ones
use. Sickness and suffering brought on
by bad food is common. 1t is the price
we pay to satisfy some ScOundrelS ra-
pacity.
They unloaded a shipment of cheap
coffee today while I was here" is the
report from our representative while
in a town where SO-called grain
coffee is made.
The coffee roasters who furnish -
with low grade coffee to mix in their
Cereal or Wheat coffee have been
had orders to reduce the amount"
This is the result of investigation Of
two large distributors of samples of
limitations of Postum.
Their samples taste as well, on slight
preparation as one could expect of a
mixture of part coffee.
Consumers and GrOcerS are deceived
for a time but the pure food sentiment
is strong in denunciation of food frauds
and it will behoOYe merchants to treat
their customers fairly and in an open
manner
If they want Coffee, sell that pure.
If they want a Cereal Coffee, sell
Postum.
1t is the only cereal coffee with a pa
tatabIe coffee taste thus far produced,
that does not contain coffee or coffee
essence.
Some consumers may perhaps blend
Postum with coffee for their own use,
but the grOcers safeguard is to furnish
pure goods and not fraudulent concoc-
tions sold under the general title of
pure cereal coffees-

VETERANS COMPLAIN.
Twice at the White House and Can't
See the President.

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 23.-Some of
the Pennsylvania veterans on their way
home from ChickamaUga were very much
disappointed when they called at the
White House yesterday. President Nc
Kinley has been obliged to refuse to see
everybody who did not have an appoint>
ment with him for a day or two, because
he is so busy on his message.
One of the veterans, who said his name
was Private Waldron of the Lochiel cav
airy. was indignant even when this was
explained and told everybody around
the White House door that he thought
they had been badly treated, especially as
the president had not been able to receive
them when they called on their way to
Chickamauga. He is quoted saying:
I'VE called, twenty-eight of us, and, when
we were in line he sent a boy down to tell
us he could not see us. Now We come
back today and can't see him. We feel,
sir, as if we had been kicked down the
hack stairs

THEY START BIG ROW

Returns.

state canvassing board, comprising the
governor, secretary of state, auditor
and attorney general met to canvass
the returns of the late election, a form
al written protest signed by Secretary
Sizer of the Republican state commit
tee and many citizens, was filed pro
testing against the canvass going on
in at least twenty-five counties.
The protest is based on the rather
sensational charge that Secretary of
State Porter, contrary to law, broke the
seals of the envelopes and scanned the
returns, sending them back to county
clerks in numerous Instances for cor
rectiOn. Attorneys, it is said, have
been retained to enforce the claim of
the professors.

CAPT. WATERS VICTIMIZED
Members of the st. Ananias Club
Play a Mean Trick on a Dis

Captain J. G.. Waters sat in his private
office yesterday afternoon pondering over
an intricate question of law when a mes
senger boy entered and inquired for the
senior member of the firm of Waters &
Waters. He was shown the way into the
inner office and, approaching the chair
where the distinguished orator sat, he
placed a large bundle and two esmaIler
ones on the table before him and left the

APPLE KEPT 30 YEARS.
Indiana Man Picked it From His
Mothers Grave.

NTuncie. Ind, Nov. 23--Dr. E. J.
Puckett, of this city, has in his pos
session an apple that was plucked by
him 80 years ago. Before the doctor
went into the army he planted an ap-
pie tree on the grave of his mother in
the cemetery at Petersburg, Upton
county, this state. -Four years later,
when he returned home from the war,
the tree was bearing fruit and he
pulled off one of the apples and has
preserved it ever since.
Personally DR.. Puckett is an inter
esting man. In addition to a strong
intellect, he is one of the strongest
men physically in the central states.
When he was a, young man he was
blacksmith, and it was then that he
built up the foundation for the strength
that he has now.
He can perform feats in straight
lifting that SandoW has in his Tepor-
tOire. The doctor has been known to
lift two heavy men straight out off the
floor, one in each hand, catching them
by the back of the coat.

THE CARE OF THE POOR
MissJ aneAddams, Famous as the
Founder of Hull House,
Gives an Interesting Talk Be-
fore the Federated Clubs,
And a Large Audience at the COngre-
gationsI Church Last Night

Miss Jane Addams spoke last night
at the First Congregational church be-
fore large audience. The church was
filled and so was the lecture room. The
members of the Federation of Clubs
and their friends were assembled long
before the time of the lecture. Miss
Adams says that she is not a lecturer
and prefers to call her efforts talks. -
They are talks" and she tells of her
success with the Hull House colony in
ChlcaSO IN such a pleasing manner
that the audience feels more at home
and takes even a greater interest than
II the account was in the form of a
lecture. Miss Addams has pleasing
appearance and she at once brings her
hearers in touch with the poorer class
eS they are hearing about.
Miss Adams told of the origin of
Hull House in Chicago in 1889 and of
the wonderful good that has resulted
from it. She says that where the house
is located has developed into the clean
est ward in Chicago, and that the diff
ference between the inhabitants of
that and other localities of a similar
nature is quite marked. Those who
have had the advantages of Hull
House have taken an interest in their
homes that is evidence of the good that
can be accomplished by education.
Miss Adams explained how the
work was carried on, how the different
classes were conducted, and spoke of
After Miss Adams had finished she
answered questions on the work OF
higher education among the poor.
Miss Adams was introduced by Rev
Charles NJ. Sheldon, who said that one
time he was called upon to introduce
Mrs. Mary Livermore. He was not
prepared and when he stepped forward
to Introduce her, he had no idea of
what he was going to say, and when he
had finished he did not then know
what he had said. Mrs. LiVermore step
ped to the front of the platform and
after acknowledging her introduction,
said she was never introduced in that
manner before. Mr.. Sheldon said: L
do not know now whether she was
complimenting me or not"
Mr.. Sheldon made no mistake last
night.
Miss Adams will lecture in Law
night and from there she will go to
Girard for a few days before she re-
turns to Chicago.

With Hypnotism Successful
GloversviIe, N. Y, Nov. 23.-Ida Steele.
the pretty 16-year-old daughter of
farmer living near here. has for many
years been afflicted at times with violent
hiccoughs. The disease, however, always
succumbed to ordinary treatment until an
attack which commenced on November
and grew in violence for four days, when
a council of physicians decided that the
patient could not recover.
One of the physicians suggested in
half joking way that hypnotism be tried.
The mother grasped at the idea, and DR..
F. J. Bush, dentist, who had practiced
hypnotism among friends in a quiet way,
was asked to try his powers.
Bush reluctantly consented to try the
experiment, and, using the usual methods,
placed the girl under hypnotic influence,
suggesting that she would awaken at
certain hour with her hiccoughs gone. At
$3.50 p. m, the time named, she awolze
without a sign of the disease, and although
three weeks have elapsed there has been
no sign of a return of the trouble
On account of the prominence of DR..
