Oak Park This p. M.

The Gilt Edges will meet Oakland 8
strong team on the Oak Park diamond

morrow at 2:30, and the fans expect a
warm time. At the series in Oakland

Sunday. the local boys took two and
the Dudes one game, and each OF
the three was worth going miles TO
see.
Grandpa Harper and Chief
Borchers, both strong-arm men from
way back, will spin the sphere for the
Oaklanders, while Charlie Doyle and
the sphinx-like youth from the never
rain country will engineer the curves
for the Gifts. Harvey, like Richard.

horse other than his pet hobby, he
gets there just the same. He will do
the act at Sundays game, and Charles
Benedict Doyle will keep the Dudes"
guessing this %. IN. Our young men
have their work cut out for them and
know it, and it is understood that the
lassitude which enyeloped them when
they were slaughtered by the Lob
sters" two weeks ago, has been shaken

rs JOHNSON EIGHINE?
Detained Here Because He Resem-
bIes a Murderer.

A colored man who gave the name Of
Charles Johnson was in the police dock
yesterday morning on the "drunk"
list. AS Johnson resembled, in every
thing except hight, a mulatto wanted
in Boston for murder, it was desired
by the officers that he be held until the
officials Of the city of Baked Beans
could be communicated with, and so it
happened that Johnson was given five
days in JAIL
According to the description of
George Eighine, the man wanted in
Boston, he is 5 feet 734 inches tall,
while Johnson measures 5 feet 10
inches fat. Johnson will probably be
set at liberty when reply comes from

KOBAYASHI INQUEST.
Jury Returns Verdict That He
Hung Himself.

Coroner McMullen last night held an
inquest on S. Kobayashi, who hung
himself yesterday on the old McNassar
ranch, below the city.
The evidence showed that he came
to the Japanese camp on the ranch a
few days ago and that he took swim
in the river and caught cold and was
taken sick yesterday with a high fever.
The men had all gone to work and
while the cook was absent he got a
rope and hung himself.
His countrymen said he was not
right in his head and had been in the
Stockton Asylum for two years, being
recently set at liberty.

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
w. G. Ream Committed to Jail for
Twenty-Four Hours.

w. G. Ream brushed against the
dignity of the court in Judge john
sons department yesterday morning,
and was committed to Jail for twenty
four hours.
Ream entered the courtroom while
court was in session, and singing out
attorney A. M. Seymour, said aloud:
Seymour, I want to see YOU"
Judge Johnson raped on his desk
and informed Ream that he was in
court.
Ream evidently did not realize that
the Judge was addressing his remarks
to him, and seeing Clerk Pfund, con-
tinued:
You'll do Pfund,'' whereupon Judge
Johnson committed him for contempt
of court as before stated

TEXAS REBATE BILL.
Some Expressions on the Wisdom ot
Lone Star Legislators.


Lone Star Legislators.
St. Louis Republis.
The Texas legislature is after the aver
age railroad man.
The governor OF Texas is with them. He
has approved a measure which makes 1t
felony for any freight man to discrim-
mate in rates between individuals or cor
poration.
No fine" enters into the punishment.
The culprit must serve a term in the PEN
itentiary
This term Is limited to q minimum OF
two years and a maximum Of five years.
II the law is strictly enforced, every
freight agent in the Lone Star state will
land in the penitentiary or the insane
asylum within the next year.
The probabilities are that 1t will never
be strictly enforced.
Vice President and General Manager Al
len of the Missouri Kansas and Texas,
said:
The bill is absurd on Its face. Any
shipper who has a grudge against Texas
railroad man will have a chance to put
him in the penitentary IL he so desires
| When the bill was first framed 1t made
| the shipper, or participant, as he IS
called in one section, equally guilty with
the railroad man who offered hiGl a re-
| duCed rate. NOW the participant mas ln'
railroad man completely at his mercy. II
| fact he owns him II he has once beer
given reduced rate
C. f. Parker general agent Of the ILL
nois Central. said
"Of course. It does not affect us. but
think the Texas legislators are too prone
to run to drastic measures when deallni
with the railroads. "
The general impression was that th'
Texas passenger men should have beer
made amensble to he law, but, as b. w
Lebeaume, general passenger agent OF th
Cotton Belt, put it;
I'VE are like Caesars wives-we ar
above suspicion
1t is quite evident that test case vii
soon be made.
