A Rummage Sale.

What you have long sought for you will
find here, when the ladies of the Glover
club open their famous sale on Tuesday,
September 10. The rummage sale, all
hail the festive rummage sale, the latest
greatest paramount issue since the din
ner pail. The fad that clears the attic
out and likewise clears the cellar. There
is nothing new beneath the sun nor in
the modern rummage sale, it looks as if
the stock in trade were gathered by a
Texas gale and people crowd the bargain
rooms all clamOring to buy. Variety is
the essence Of this social endeavOr and
what you can't find at the sale you
will never find at all. The list is all EN-
bracing, ranging from looking glass to
cooking stoves, canOpeners and candle
sticks of brass, bottles, bibles, books and
bonnets, leather belts for lean and stout,
neckties, pictureframes and gimlets, car
pet stretchers, petticOats and dresses,
s0upterineS, cuspidOres and scissors, spec
tacies,, and socks, WaShDoards, rattraps,
stovepipe-hats and collars by the box, old
suspenders, flags, an0 ripsaws, watches,
earrings, bootjacks, garters, raZors, Slip
pers and Overalls, breastpins, horse
whips, pickles, harness, swords, dishpans,
crOmoes, f0untainpens, every kind of
wood and tin and crockery to put
things in. All this and more you will find
among the rag-tag relics of this latest
craze, the rummage sale. A committee
OF ladies from the Glover club will wait
upon you. Lay aside what you don't want
and they will send their wagon round to
get it.

be we'll to say that our boys went there

could be secured in that place. Colum-

as soon as one of their players was run
ming bases the spectators would line up
along the base line; but there their
fer0ciouness had no end-they even crowd

highly Of the Columbus players individu-

are not responsible for the unfairness of
the umpire and the uncomfortable crowd
which witness the game.

Attempted Robbery.

While going to his home, 313 Sec
Ond street, little after midnight yestef-
day morning, Joe Harvey, Jr., was
knocked down, gagged and an attempt
made to tie him with the evident pur-
pose of robbing him. As told by Mr.
Harvey, he thought he saw several times
during the evening some party or parties
at the side door Of the saloon, who kept
pushing the door trifie ajar as if to get
a view inside, but going to the door, he
discovered no one. Having counted and
taken an account Of the days receipts he
put the money IN his pockets. 1t was q
little after midnight when he closed =
saloon and start :. hgfga Nh. Al
the residence Of Mfr. Dent he saw a man
who cr0Wdedt down as he approached.
About this time Mr.. Harvey heard the
noise Of a blow at his side, as if some one
behind had struck downward blow at him
with a club or piece Of gas pipe and
missed him. Turning partially around
as if instinctiyeIy lodging the blow he
was struck acr0es the neck and knocked
down. For little time at least Mr.. Harvey
must have been unconscious for on coming
to himself, he found that he had been
gagged and that an attempt was being
made to tie his hands behind him. As his
right hand was drawn back it came in
contact with his revolver in hip pocket.
He managed to draw the revolver and
taking aim as best he could, fired at his
assaiIants who, uttering and exclamation
Of surprise pushed Mr.. Harvey over and
ran. Mr.. Harvey fired two shots at the
men as they were running but in his be-
Wildered condition, his aim was probably
unsteady and unfortunately he missed
them. The alarm caused by the pistol
shots soon drew people in the neighbor-
hood to the spot and Mr.. Harvey was re-
lieved Of his gag consisting of piece of
rubber hose tied on with bits Of fish line.
A recount Of his money showed that the
robbers had not succeeded in getting any
of it, although Mr.. Harvey thinks that
one of them put a hand in one of his
pockets just before the pistol was fired. A
package Of black pepper was found on
the ground near where the assault was
committed. This creates a suspicion
that the robbers had planned to blind
him or to knock him down and stun him
as circumstances might make seem best
for their purpose Of robbery. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Harvey was back at work
again but somewhat sore and a trifie
nervous over his exciting experience OF
but few hours before. No clue as yet
to the parties who committed the outrage,
but there are many expressions made
publicly that would lead a casual listner
believe that this offense was the premeG-
itated work Of people who knew the
grounds and Mr.. Harvey's time and route
Of going home.
