The Wellsburg club is anxious and
ready for the Will Gutmans in the two
games tomorrow McConkey will
pitch the morning game, and Lucas in
the afternoon. After Lucas superb
work Saturday, and knowing Neon
keys ability, no one will be surprised
if Wellsburg should win both games.
However, no walkover is expected by
either sire. The Daugherty club, of
Martins Ferry, will play at WeIlsburg
June 18th. Manager Way expects a
large delegation of rooters to accom-
pany his team.
The Charles Stephens defeated the
Cyclones Sunday morning on the Ter
minal grounds 10 to s. The feature was
the all-round playing of the Stephens
team. The batteries were: Fritz and
He'll for the Stephens, and Ricketts, and
Dane for the Cyclones. The game was
not over until IL o'clock, but the boys
went to the tunnel green and played
the strong Charles Bauers team, and
were defeated for the first time this
season. Not half of the players re-
ported, so they had to take new ones
whom they did not know. and the
Bauers won easily by a score of IL to
5. The batteries were: Fritz and Null
doom for the Stephens, and West and
Armstrong for the Bauers.

The Derby a Farce.

CINCINNATI, O., May 2S.-The
thousands who gathered at Latonia to
see what promised to be the greatest
derby of the year, met with bitter dis
appointment. The race was a farce.
Lieut.. Gibson was the only starter and
simply had to gallop around the track
to win the big prize.
Up to noon the track was in good
shape, but then there came heavy
rainfall and spoiled all the chances of
a contest in the derby. Hiram Scog-
gan scratched his entry, Highland Lad
and Florizar and later Kentucky
Farmer was withdrawn. ST. Ivors had
been scratched out earlier in the day.
This left but one horse in the race,
Lieut.. Gibson, and he galloped the dis
lance, mile and a half, for the big
end of the purse. Thus the famous La
tonia derby of 1900 passed into history
and Lieut.. Gibson, the crack western
three-year-old, remains unbeaten

SOMETHING ABOUT THE STORY

The story opens at lockwood Hall,
where Wilfred Erleston, brother OF the
Squire, is lying seriously Ill as the
result of an accident. The doctor rec
pretty widow, and during the conva-
lescence of the patient she acts as his
secretary, and a mutual sympathy
springs up between them. There ap-
pears, however, to be something on the
sick mans mind, and he frequently
gives way to expressions OF discon-
tent at his illness.
When the convalescent stage has far
advanced another woman appears on
the scene. Her name is Aurelia Dex-
ter, who is supposed to be an Ameri-
can, and entertains parties with her
limitations of the mockingbird. She
visits lockwood, and is astounded to
find WiIfred there. She conceals her
establishment, but 1t is obvious that
she knows something of his past. IL
is soon understood that she intends to
play dangerous game in the house.
We can assure our readers that the
story which opens so mysteriously will
maintain its interest to the close. In
Vulnerable complications arise, and the
love which springs up between the
patient and nurse is severely put TO
the test in unexpected ways.

THE PLOT TO KILL GOEBEL.


Frankfort, KY, May Wv. H Gull
ton. State Auditor Sweeney's clerk,
indicted as accessory to the Goebei
murder, testified on the hearing OF the
motion for bail in his case this after
noon and gave some sensational tes-
timony.
Culton's testimony followed after
the motions for bail in the cases of
Powers, Davis, Youtsey, Whitaker and
Combs had been overruled. An order
was entered transferring the prosecu-
tons against them to Georgetown for
trial in a change of venue. Culton said:
Henry Youtsey told me that Goebel
would be killed. / told him that it
must not be dom / told Governor
Bradley what Yountsey said and Brad
ley said: Ny God, this must not be
done Youtsey afterwards said there
was nothing in it."
The witness told of another CONVEX
sation with Youtsey, who came with
Burton, of Breckenridge county. The
witness said: "Youtsey said he had the
greatest scheme yet; that Goebel could
be shot from the secretary of states
office and nobody would ever know
who did it. At a meeting in Powers
office / presided ard the question Of
providing boarding places for contest
witnesses was discussed. b. B. Burton
pulled out a handful of cartridges and
said: "A few of these turned loose in
the proper place would soon settle the
contest"
