THE DIXIE WORD CONTEST
Names of Boys and Girls Who Will
Attend Performances Today, as
Result Of Their Industry.

The Dixie word contest stimulated a
goody number of schoolboys and girls
to action, and although the time was
very short, the showing made by some
of the contestants was remarkable. The
highest number of words, 335, formed
from those contained in 'DiXie's The
atre" was submitted by Jacob Rose
burg, 326 Penn avenue.
1t is unfortunate that some of the
children left the packages containing
words at the box office OF the theatre
and neglected to sign their names to
the papers. This was not noticed by
the management until number had
done so. The result of the contest,
which closed yesterday noon, shows
that some very bright boys and girls
are numbered among the pupils of our
made has prompted the manager to
gressive of the little workers who
would not be entitled to passes accord
ing to rules Of the contest.
Those whose names appear below
may have reserved seat tickets 10

A Point to Insist On.

There are endless numbers of travel
ing people who go regularly from New
York to Chicago and vice versa several
times month, who have never gone
over any other road but the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, because
this road is good enough for them. It's
good enough for anybody, the fastest,
safest, most convenient and most COM
Portable road in America. Once you
travel over the Lake Shore and you will
not want to experiment with any other
road. People who know the comforts
and discomforts of travelling, and what
they have right to expect, always
insist on their tickets reading by way
of the Lake Shore. so should you. ~

1T. CARTER INTERVIEWED.
Lieutenant Carter was seen last night
by Tribune man, and expressed HIM
self as highly satisfied at the work
done by the team. He attributed the
fact that a better showing was not
made in the Sea Girt matches to the
fact that the Pennsylvania marksmen
are not yet accustomed to the Krag-
Jorgenson rifle, which has been used in
most of the other states for two or
three years
"Our boys did fine work at Mt. Gret-
ma, in view of the fact that they had
such strong opponents said Lieuten-
ant Carter THAT Sixth regiment
team was undoubtedly an exception
ally strong aggregation. Their star
shot was Private II. H. LeiZear, who
led the division this year. Last year
he shot on the Washington team and
won the Presidents Trophy at Sea
Girt. He recently accepted a position
in the Philadelphia mint, and instantly
the Sixth regiment people were at him
until he Joined them. He strengthened
their team wonderfully and they came
to Gretna fully prepared and thorough
ly confident of winning the practice
trophy and thereby earning the right
to represent the regiments Of the state
at Sea Girt.
"We beat them out. though. and the
Thirteenth had the honor of represent
ing the National Guard. 1t was close
call. though, and a good many of the
soldiers expected that the Sixth would
win out.
1T couldn't have been much closer,
though. The two scores We're tie In
such cases. it is invariably the rule of
all rifle and revolver contests to go
back to the highest score made at the

Bowen & Fitzpatrick have given no.
tice to the city Of their intention to
commence suit in the district court in
behalf OF their client. George Kuntz. a
youth 16 years old, whose interests are
being looked after by his next best
friend. In his petition setting forth
the grounds Of the suit plaintiff alleges
that George Kuntz was coasting with
q number Of other youths on the Third
street hill on Sunday afternoon, Feb.
1s. and that the bobsleigh collided with
a wagon belonging to j. G. Moore
which was standing on the street. Fur
ther1nore, he alleges that the city was
negligent in allowing the wagon to re-
main on the street because there Is an
ordinance prohibiting street obstruc-
tions. In addition to these allegations
the plaintiff says that he was not guilty
OF violating any law by reason Of his
coasting' because he had the consent of
the city, as was evident from the fact
that a policeman was nearby and did
not modest the coasters. Plaintiff states
that by reason of his collision with the
wagon his skull was fractured and he
suffered much anguish of mind and
pain of body, for all Of which he asks

piled that he was for Captain Hull and
that he was certain Madison county
was solidly for Hull. NJ
Madison county is known by the an

therefore the effort to bring out a local

team, seventeen Rockwell City men

he had the batters at his mercy. In
fact there was a chance of a shut-out,
but for the somewhat erratic fielding
Of the visiting team. This is excusable,
however, considering it was the first
game of the season.
