.PERHAPS DOE DID sIHS.. :.
Billy Murray Drops Out of Springfield the Last Moment.

He Had Secured Neither Rink nor
 Players-Mr Aufort of New Haven Gets the Franchise fand Has His
 Team Engaged-The Southeastern
 League Came Under the National
 Agreement Last Night - Jean
 Jacques Is in Portland To-day After
 the Maine League-Other Polo
 Notes.
 All the teams in the National league have now been completed, with the exception of ateIbury. Another of Does schemes has been nipped in the bud also. and it ts too bad that Billy Murray of Providence allowed himself to be party to the scheme to disrupt this league, but that is what it looks like. Murray allowed the other mag mates in this league to believe that he was making herculean efforts to get team in Springfield. As q matter of fact he was doing nothing in that re- Spect- He had not engaged the rink nor had he engaged any players, at least that is the report that was sent to this city. and in fact to every city in the league. He probably conceived the idea or Doe probably furnished the conception. that if Springfield was not in the league at the last minute the other teams would have to drop out, as the schedule would be broken. When the managers learned of this fact. Mr Aufort of New Haven was at once consulted and he journeyed to Springfield. As consequence. Springfield has rink and a full team and is all ready for business. Man aCer Parsons will arrive in Waterbury to-day. and he will have q team with him for sure, and when the ball opens Monday Waterbury will be in the swim with the rest.
 The Southeastern league, at tho meeting held in Boston last night. vot- Ito come in under the National acreo- ment. Jean Jacques has gone on to Portland to confer with the Maine league and in all probability that league will also come under the agree ment- This will be q protection to players and managers alike. After this agreement is made. it is very like ly that if. Doe asks for forgiveness from tlfe National ieague managers he may get it. They arc q forgiving sort of a crowd. and they wouldn't like to prevent Doe from earning his bread and butter. Daily is another man that may be given q taste of good man. nerS.

SAVING A SUMMER RESORT.
A Protective League to Keep Money
 ed Idiots from Raising Prices.

"I spent several weeks last summer in a quaint, delightful little noun tain village in South Carolina" said an old clubman the other evening, re- lates the New Orleans Times-Demo- crat, "and l found a rule in force there which could be adopted with advantage at numerous other locali- ties. I went to the place by mere chance, and one of the first things that impressed me after my arrival was the total absence of the extor- tion one usually encounters at even the smallest resorts, Everything was amazingly good and reasonable, and l marveled how the natives had been kept unspoiled. One afternoon during the first week of my stay I found out I was sitting on the porch of the lit tie hotel when a buggy drove up and well-dressed man descended. He was a new arrival who had been talk ing ride in the mountains. What do l owe you?' he asked of the coun- tryman who drove the rig. oh, I reckon a dollars enough drawled the other. 'Pshaw!' exclaimed the stran- ger. its worth more than that, Here's a two-dollar bill'
 "The money was about to change hands when a broad-shouldered chap from Louisville, who had been staying at the hotel all simmer, jumped ur from chair at my side and stepped between the pair. Hold on!' he said firmly. We can't allow that. Give the driver what he asks but no more . Well, l don't see that this is any of your business drawled the new conner, in great surprise. T propose to make it my bpsiness,' retorted the Louisville man. Give him a dollar and let him go.' I'll be hanged if I will,' said the stranger, getting red I'll pay him what I blamed please Then you'll have me to lick said the Kentuckian, calmly, and peeled off his coat. The other man took look at his torso and weakened. Oh, well. he said, it isn't worth fighting about , and with that he tossed the country man dollar and strode inside we have to do this in self-defense.' said the Louisville man, apologetica1ly, as he resumed his seat. "A few of us discovered this resort, and now we're trying to keep it uncontamiEated l. About all the pleasant loafing-places in Europe and America have been spoiled by confounded idiots who have more money than brains and insist on overpaying for everything they get. The consequence is that they bull prices to such an extent that fellows of moderate means like myself can't afford to take vacation, and some of us old boarders have quietly or ganized a protective league to hold things down to a reasonable level. We've had to lick two New Workers and g. dude from Philadelphia, but al- | together the scheme has worked first rate I applied for membership inn mediately, and never enjoyed a visit more in my life. There ought to be branch leagues all over the country ''

ssWBHNEY-MA ArsoN. DRAW.

About A. igtOO persons ilaclSed the club house of tlTe Crescent A. G, Man chesters N H., last night to witness the. 2O-round sbout Between Patsey Sweeney of Manchester and Andy Watson of Philadelphia at 135 pounds. MoHett Flahefty of Boston was the referee. A preliminary of eight rounds at 105 pounds between Scot ty'' Coyne and .INid'' Goodman of Boston opened the show. After q hot bout Coyne received the decision. Sweeney was q hot favorite at 100 to 80 for the big go. There was a little day before the bout started, and it was explained that a former manager of Sweeney's wanted share of the purse, This was satisfactorily settled. Both men went right at it from the tap of the bell and it was a slap-bang affair, with little advantage to either for the first two rounds. In the third Sweeney began to rush his man and landed two heavy lefts on the neck and q right on the jaw that made Wat son groggy, but he stayed the round out by clinching. Watson was taking all the punching in game style up to the end of the fifth round, when he let fly a wild right that caught Sweeney on the jaw and almost put him out. Both men were in good shape when the sixth round started and they fought hard thHaughout that round and the seventh. In a mix-up in the eighth Sweeney cut Watson's eye open with a heavy right. For the next two rounds Sweeney had just a shade the best of the work, but Watson cut loose in the eleventh and with two quick lefts on the jaw he had the local man groggy. Sweeney only saved himself by clinching and it was all that the referee could do to separate the pair. Both men were tired and their work up to the sixteenth when they began to slug again, exchanging punch for punch all over the ring. Sweeney was cautioned twice in this round for hit
 ting low. There was no let-up and with both men on their feet at the end of the twentieth round,. the referee declared the bout 2 draw.

TOD SLOANE COMING HOME. Disguised With the Prince He Declares
 He Was Made ScaDegoat

London Nov 1.-"Tod" Sloane will sail for the United States next Tues day. He contends that he has been used as a scapegoat. Sloane has de- cided to shake the dust of England from his feet after his seemingly un- justifia ble treatment by the Prince of Wales. Wales yielded to the ''morar' suasion of such ranters as Durham, and when one comes under the royal eye of displeasure it is just as well to remove to other climes. l. is in conceivable on what grounds H. k. II. sent Sloane out into the cold world again. and it will not be necessary for him to explain, on the ancient theory that kings can do no wrong, and that seems to be sufficient to satisfy the well-watered blood of the English sportsman.

 For the man who can solve the polo muddle there is on tap the undying gratitude of woeful bunch of per plexed magnates and very much wearied public.
 This is the last week the magnates have in which to gather their floor forces. There is a lot of tall maneu- vering going on, and the players in this league certainly have the whip hand. -. '
 It is reported that Fox and Daily : have signed with Taunton, netWith- standing their agreement. to 90 to Maine. It is regarded in Taunton as a question whether they will join White. and the manager is securing for others.
 Manager Coughlin of Clinton is looking for a rusher. He was after Spencer, but the latter has gone to Gardner. He probably will take Mer- cer now that Spencer is out of the question. He says that he has signed Bannon for goal. R
 Cunningham may have thought polo in Taunton is essential to the success of his venture in Pawtucket. Un- less Taunton could make a better showing than for some years in either / polo or base ball. the team will not be a drawing card, and the switty George would wish he had taken a more thor ough view of the field.-Brockton Times.
 The Maine league smagpates won't stand to lose any money. If the pa ftronage falls off they close up shop. When the rest of the clubs. make about two of those long jumps to Bangor they will realize that the play CTS and the railroads are the only winners After the holidays watch out for a balloon ascension in the Maine league.-Lawrence American,
 A lot of polo talk about prospec- tive Fall River polo team is going, and it is very we'll grounded.

Editor Chanute TIMES: Now that the
election is over and as the Democrats
SAID the landslide and everything went
Peupblican, we can once more settle
down to business and congratulate the
Demo Gratis for their better judgment.
Many of them who voted the Repub-
lican ticket 1 found out since the
election and now boast about it and
rejoice over Bryan's defeat. Well L
have been tramping around this part
of Indiana including Boone, Hamilton,
and Marion counties, the vicinity in
which used to live before going to
Kansas.

in yarsous business branches and es-
pecially farming. There is a large
corn crop here, worth in market 3Oc.
per bushel; the wheat crop was fail
ure: flour sells at $3.50 and $40 per
hundred weight. The growing wheat
crop at present is all that can be des-
ired. The apple crop is near a failure;
but pears, of the Keifer variety, are
in abundance, worth one dollar per
bushel. Farmers here mostly shed
their corn fodder claiming agreat saw
ing. Feeding the old timothy hay

almost become thing Of the pass on
account OF being bard to get stand

horses in winter. Farmers are i'm
proving their farms materially by
smooth wire netting at from ten to
fourteen wires with upright ties

lasting fence turning anything from a
pig to a cow. Also many beautiful
houses and barns are now adorning

all the roads are graveled and free
from toll, the toll gates are gone and
In places where they stood are busi-

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
prandmothers never thought Ut using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill,
business. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis.
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigesUed food, regu-
late the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic actions of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses OF
