HAVE GAMING FEVER
Residents of Several Rural Towns
Said to Be Dealing Reckless
ly With Pasteboards.
GRAND JURY MAY INVESTIGATE
Indignant Wives Register i;
Complaint With the
Authorities.

One of the most pungent matters it
is expected the present grand jury
will be called upon to probe into is
the practice of gambling in small
way that is being pretty genrally fol-
lowed in the smaller towns in the
county. While there has always been
more or less poker played in the out
lying villages, it appears that the
present winter has witnessed an
alarming growth in the number and
the openness with which the games
are conducted.
Farmers, who have little to do dur
ing the winter months, congregate at
some spot where gam bling is followed
with more or less secrecy, and there
frequently remain till well along in
the morning hours. Meanwhile, the
horses, which are tied some place
down the street, paw holes in the
ground and the wives and children at
home do up the evening chores and
wait in vain for "dad g" return.
Families Broken mp.
In one place it is reported that two
families were broken up during the
past week by this sort OF thing, and
the indignant wives communicated
by telephone with the states attor-
ney. Now, several gentlemen are
wearing an expression of stimulated
cheerfulness, and the party who owns
the home which has been the scene of
the midnight seances is spending his
time industriously trying to make his
peace with the powers that be.
1t is intimated that an investiga-
ton by the grand jury will be apt to
reveal the unexpected, and number
of pious persons may have some ex-
plantations to make.
AS showing the thorough-going
depravity of the male citizens of an
other community, the statement of a
virtuous townsman is quoted. He
said There are only Two men in this
here town that don't play poker.
That's Preacher = and me-"

Important Improvements Being Made on
the Augusta.
The ferry Augusta will blossom out
next spring better than new, say those
who are engaged in making improve
ments on her at the Kahlke boat
yard in the west end of the city.
Two new boilers AZ inches in dame
ter and Is feet long are being installed,
each having 81 finch lues. The
boat will also be equipped with new
pair of cylinders and the boiler pump
will be rebuilt. These Improvements
are with view to increasing the
Augusta's speed. During the past
season she made 15-minute trips, but
it is planned to cut the time next
summer five minutes. The boat will
be repainted throughout.
