bands Speculative Losses.

Charleston, Ill, New. 12.-Mrs. Hattie
Edmar was given verdict for $4,000 in
the Coles county circuit court against
the Odeu Commission company of Gin
cinnati. The suit was for $4,000, this
being three times the amount which her
husband claims to have lost while oper-
ating a bucket shop and acting as agent
for the commission firm year ago.
Judge Dunn, before whom the case
was first brought, ordered it thrown out
of court. but an appeal was taken and
the supreme court renanded it for trial.
The case WAS bitterly contested and at
traeted wide attention because of the
large amount asked and the principle
involved under the state law. which al
lows one TIC recover three times the
amount lost in gambling. The county
in which the suit is brought receives
one-half the sum recovered.

WESTERN LEAGUE PLANS.
President Sexton Thinks Sioux City
May Be Taken In.

Sioux. City, Ia, Nov. 12.-President
Sexton of the Western league, who
spent yesterday and today in Sioux
City. stated before he left that Sioux
City would very likely have a fran
chise in the western next year.
Il had no idea of the enterprise of
Sioux Cityans nor much about the size
of the town." he said, but l am great
lv pleased and my report to the circuit
committee, composed of Rourke of
Omaha, Packard of Denver and Burns
of colorado Springs. I think viii be
favorable to bringing a team to Sioux
City for a period of probably five years.
The matter will be settled within the
next two or three weeks. I do not
want to say positively the matter is
settled. but Sioux City's prospects are
bright"
Sexton conferred with A. B. Beall,
who owns the Minneapolis franchise in
the Western, and has a downtown
park here already improved; W. 2.
Lockhart, former president of the Iowa
and South Dakota league and DR..
City franchise in that league, and
these three men will undoubtedly have
the franchise.
BAH viii be played down town on
week days and at the Riverside park
on SUNDAYS.
Sexton says four towns have asked
for franchises, Sioux City, Lincoln,
Victor, Colo, and Pueblo. Lincoln. he
says. is virtually out of it, because
Sunday bal is not allowed there. A
franchise viii be given to either Vic
tor or Pueblo, but not to both. So the
lea"Ie has in sight places for only the
Milwaukee and Peoria franchises, one
OF which will come here and the other
win go to Colorado.
Sexton says unless the situa ton is
cha nged by the application of some
desirable city not now known to the
directors, the Kansas City franchise
will have to stay where it is. He says
Re directors do not consider the kan
sas City situation at ali intolerable.

CARS ARE SCARCE
Warden Jewstt Il Still Having Some
Trouble.

says that he is still having trouble Sc
curing cars in which to ship coal to the
state institutions. The trouble Is not
serious. as Warden Jewett says he Is
able to keep ahead of the demands OF
the institutions. but at the same time
cars for shipping coal are difficult to
get just when they are wanted.
THE trouble seems to be that every
body is buying or selling something and
the demand for cars of all kinds is
greater than the supply. We are having
no trouble in keeping the state institu-
tions supplied with coal. but cars are
by no means plentiful"
