which could not be overcome. Mat

KNOCKED OUT.
Mondays Game at Junction City
Proves a Serious Affair for the
Abilenes and the Game Is Lost by
Them.
From Tuesdays Daily.]

Abilene had great hopes for its bal
team and confidently expected to win
Yesterdays game played at Junction.
1t would have done so but for an I'M.
forseen accident that deprived its
team of Hughes. the crack catcher.
The accident happened before the
game was called and while the teams
were exercising in front of the grand
stand, Switzer, functions strong
pitcher, threw wild ball which pass
ed the catcher, hitting Hughes on the
right cheek bone, breaking it.
Hughes was hurriedly conveyed to
the hotel, doctors summoned and an
operation performed. He is resting
as easy as could be expected but will
play no more ball this season. No
serious result is expected from the
injury but the incapacitating him
from labor for sometime to come.
The accident cast gloom over both
teams and the game was played with.
out enthusiasm on either side.
Brandt and Bouldin was Abienes

first base.

MET IN JOINT SESSION,
Elementary and Child Study Sec
tiOns Got Together.


The exercises in the auditorium of
the Central Presbyterian church Of the
elementary and childhood study sec
tions yesterday afternoon, were some
what curtailed owing to the inability
Of two Of the speakers to be present
The opening exercise was talk by S.
S. Farr, chairman Of the joint meeting,
and president of the child study sec
ton. Mr.. Fairs address was on 1.-THE
Culture Epochs Of Childhood" He In
troduced his subject by calling atten-
ton to the observance Of phases of de-
VelOpnent in common life. The Jews
had substantially six epochs Of per-
sonal development, to-wit: infancy.
childhood, youth, young manhood or
Womanhood, maturity and old age. In
all reforms Of educational methods
there was the observance of the epoch
idea. The Greeks and Romans made
the distinction between man and boy
The humanists taught that the little
boy was different from the big boy.
The realists held that boys Of the same
age were not alike. while the natural
lists Of the time Of Montague and Mil
ton held that there were as many kinds
Of boys of the same age as there were
different powers to develop. The child
hoodists, Locke, the Jesuits, and Froe-
bel held that there were as many
stages OF growth as there were 1aculIleS
to develop. The theory of culture
epochs was comparatively modern, it
had its origin in Germany out Of an at
tempt to fit instruction more fully to
the successive stages Of growth.
After President Fairs address, DR..
R. o. Beard gave very comprehensive
address on 1.-THE Influence Of the School
on the Health of the Child"
Prof J. E. Frederick Woodbridge,
made an address on Intellectual De-
velopment of the Teacher" Prof
Woodbridge led up to his subject with
series of definitions of intellect. He
recommended reading, good reading,
that which had stood the test Of CEN
turtles. Such works as Dante and
Homer were calculated to develop the
highest qualities Of a teacher. He did
not think there were many teachers Of
the present day who read Homer.
Reading was only one Of the many
methods by which the teacher might
feed his intellectual life.
The following officers were elected on
recommendation of the committee on
nominations. President, D. II. Roberts;
vice president, M. I. Taggert, and Sec
rotary Miss Monnette.

WHERE IS JOHN w. LARSONs
His Friends Are Afraid He Will Not
Be Married.

Today was to have been John w.
Larson's wedding day, but instead Of
enjoying the marriage festivities,
friends and relatives Of the young man
are worrying over his mysterious dis
appearance. Larson lives at Belden-
vile, Wis. He came to st. Paul last
Monday with considerable sum Of
money in his possession and has not
since been seen. His brother, Albert
S. Larson, was in the city yesterday
looking for the young man and asked
the assistance Of the police in his
search. The brother fears some harm
has befallen the missing man.
The Larson brothers are well-to-do
farmers and own considerable land in
Pierce county, Wis. For a number Of
years they have operated a threshing
machine throughout the Dakotas and
have thus obtained a comfortable bank
account The missing man has been
engaged to an estimable young woman
living at Hudson, Wis, for two years
and today they were to have been mar
ried. Larson left Hudson Monday for
St. Paul for the purpose of purchasing
a suit of clothes. He was expected to
return within couple Of days and also
to call upon his cousin, Mark John
son, living at S7S Park avenue, this city.
Larson's prolonged absence, in the face
of the approaching wedding, led his
brother to make inquiry, which devel-
oped that the prospective groom had
not called at his cousins home nor been
seen in ST. Paul by any of his friends.
His brother reached the city yesterday
and after fruitless search for trace
of the missing man, solicited the aid Of
the police.
Larson is Scandinavian, thirty
eight years old, five feet, ten inches in
height, and weighs 10 pounds. When
he disappeared he wore a black sack
suit of clothes, soft brown hat and long
black ulster overcoat. He is of light
complexion, with sandy hair and is said
to be a man of good habits. This lat
ter fact, together with the fact that
Larson had upwards of $50 with him,
leads his relatives to fear some serious
experience has befallen him.

WILL HELP HIM ALONG.
New Building Inspector VIII Get
Cash for EXPENSES

New Building Inspector VIII Get
Cash for Expenses.
The comomn council, as committee
of the whole, will meet Monday even
ing, to consider the tax estimate as
prepared by the comptroller and adopt
ed by the conference committee. One
Of the first things to be done by the
committee will be to amend the budget
so as to allow "a reasonable sum-" as
one Of the aldermen expressed it, for
the building inspectors department.
In the estimate as presented to the con-
ference committee the amount allowed
for the building inspectors department
was placed at $1,000, of which 1900 was
allowed for the inspectors salary; 81 900
for the five clerks and assistants in
the office, and $500 for Office expenses.
The conference committee cut the ap-
preparation down to $4,000, the opinion
of the committee being that the in
spector and two clerks could do all the
business necessary. Now that Re
publican has been selected for the posi-
ticn as building inspector, the council
will undoubtedly decide that the de-
partment is one Of the most important
branches in the city government and
appropriate as near to the $11, 900,
which, under the charter, is the limit
for the department, as possible. Under
the Bell charter the salary of the in
spector is fixed by the council. but can
not exceed $1,000 per annum.

S. II. Haas, having received the ma
jority of the votes cast on the sixth
ballot, was declared the caucus nomi-
nee, and the members sat down to dis
cuss how it happened. The only solu-
ton offered was that it had been any
thing to beat ArroI, and he had been
beaten. 1t was reported that Haas was
the candidate Endorsed by Mayor Do
ran, and this brought about the re-
suit, but those who know about how
much the councilmen care for the
wishes Of the mayor on any particular
question did not put much stock in
the report.
Those voting for Haas on the ballot
on which he was chosen were Messrs.
