The Racine Bowling club came down
here Tuesday afternoon with blood in
their fists and their eyes doubled up.
The last time it was here it went home
with score of nearly 400 against it.
This time, by the great horn spoon, the
score should go the other way or the
club would bust its suspender button |!
Well, the score was not turned. but
just whether the button left it's moor
ings is not proveable by the data at
hand.
The game was played at Aid. Chris.
Schend's alley, on the north side, this
time, instead of at the Maple house as
the last one had been, whereat some OF
the Racineites made some kick. Why
they should not have kicked does not
now appear on the surface. The line

A JOKE THAT WAS NO JOKE.
1T LANDS A MAN BEHIND THE BARS
FOR BIGAMY.
Henry VenabIe's Hard Luck on Ac-
count of Joking" Remark and
the Quick Action of His
Wife Following IL.

Henry Venable bartender at the
House of Lords" saloon, on Eighth street
between Main and Walnut streets. occupied
a cell at Central police station last night as
the result of joke. which turned out any
thing but joke for him.
The charge against Venable is bigamy.
and was sworn to by Mrs. Ella Poor. of To-
peka, Kas., who says Venable was legally
married to her eight weeks ago. Since
that time. she alleges, they have lived to-
gether as man and wife, occupying quar-
tiers in different parts of the city. They had
only been acquainted a short time when
Ncnable proposed marriage, she says, and
she accepted. According 10 her story Ven
able procured n license and took her before
a justice of the peace, where the ceremony
WAS performed
Mrs. Venable's first husband died several
years ago and left hcr with a little son:
Her maiden name was Todd, and she lived
In RingO county. la, where her parents
still live. She took her son home to be
raised, and after she had been married to
Nenable "A few weeks she said she wanted
to go and see her boy. Nenable. she

wrote her endearing letters as his wife
while she was absent. A week ago she re-
turned. and Nenable met her at the train;
They went from place TO place 20 sleep, anu

did not appear, and Mrs. Venable went TO
the Germanla house, at independence ave
nue. and Oak street where his mother lives,
in hope of finding him. She was met by
Venable's mother and a woman who said
years.
The Topeka Mrs. Venable was almost
overcome by the announcement and. with
out waiting for an explanation. rushed OF
to Central police station She told her
story and warrant was sworn out before
Justice Kruger. charging bigamy. and was
placed in execution by Sergeant Talbot.
Venable denied last night that he had
ever married Mrs. Poor. He also denied
having lived with her. The woman who
said she had been married to him four
years is a Miss Terry and a friend of his
mother. She said il. he claims. merely as
n Joke. The joke cost Venable his liberty
for one hot night, at any rate.
Mrs Poor called at Central station last
night and was allowed to see Nenable. He
at first refused 20 see her. but finally they
fell to talking. He promised to take care
of her II she would secure his release, but
insisted they were not married. With tears
in her eyes, Mrs. Poor sought out Captain
Rranham.
II have done great wrong" she sobbed
ITS all false. For heavens sake let him
out The other woman was only Joking"
Captain Branham referred Mrs. Poor TO
Justice Kruger, saying II was beyond his
power to release Venable. as the charge
against him was of a felonious nature.
Justice Kruger had gone to Fairmount
park and Venable had to swelter behind
the bars.

WOULD HELP SILVER.
Yield Would Increase Price of
the White Metnl.

London, July 29.-The Globe. commenting
on the fall in silver, says: AN augmenta-
tion of the worlds gold yield could not fail
to increase the value of silver. When Cal
ifornia and Australia poured their aurifer-
Gus riches into the market silver, like all
other commodities. acquired an enhanced
value. But the United States then had no
accumulations of the white metal, whereas
now these have become so enormous that
silver sales can only be effected at a sacri-
flee.
This weeks collapse would have hap
pened some time back but for the contin-
uous purchases on japanese account. That
demand has ceased, and China and India
are supplied. What steps the American
silverites will propose to counteract this
disastrous state of things remains to be
seen. Their attitude is a specific threat to
tamper with the currency President Nc
Kinley, possibly foreseeing an attempt of
this sort, has given an emphatic warning
that he will be no party to such perilous
work. 1t is fortunate that the India mints
are closed: otherwise. the rupee would be
more deprecated than II is. The coin
keeps its value remarkably well. and If
America ceases to force the silver markets
there may be an Improvement soon.'
