Boston, Mass, Oct. "A small for

Boston Pittsburg series, and it is esti-
mated that more than $4,000 has been
wagered. Boston is the favorite at
odds of to 4. The Pittsburg follow

able odds, which the local men refused
to give. Pittsburg having four games
at home against three for Boston was
taken into consideration when the bets
were made.
With the arrival of the Pirates the
betting took a brisk turn, and between
and O'Clock over $4,000 was put up.
The biggest individual bet made was
when Fred ]. Marshall put up $1,000 on
Boston against $4,000, New York

acting for party of Pittsburg sporting
men, brought with him $500 to back
Pittsburg. McQuestin had no trouble
in placing the money. Sport Sullivan,
Hubby Curley, Charley LAWS and Jack
keenan, backed the Collins team for as
much as McQuestin wanted.
Boston money went begging before
the first game. Hubby Curley had $1,000

and J. J. Mcnamara, of Roxbury,
stated that he would back Boston for
any sum up to $4,000

They Cheerfully Cash a $500
Check for Him.
THE BANK REFUSED IT.
Mem Have a jolly Good Time
Taking in the Town.
Mr. Harris Rises Early and
Passes from View.

Wichita, Oct. 3.-The Eagle says:
Watson Mills and Frank White, who
bIve been operating a threshing ma
cnine in Oklahoma. but who are now
visiting in Wichita. are mourning the
less of $125 in cash, which they claim to
have advanced on a check to a man
named William Harris. who formerly
lived near Augusta. 1t is alleged that
tlle check. which was for $500. is worth
less.
Mills and White say that they knew
she man Harris at Augusta many years
ago. It has been about five years since
they had seen him until they met him
on the streets.
All three went out to take in the city.
the fair and carnival About 10 o'clock
Harris said that he was out of money.
G4e told Mills and White that he would
like more for spending purposes and
that he intended to leave the city in
ale had a check given him for the sale
Of two horses at Augusta and asked
white and Mills to buy the check for
s175.
Mills and White, while they thought
the check was good, did not have quite
that amount with them. They could let
Harris have $125 on it, however, and in
4he morning when the banks opened
fhey would send the Ddldnce TO harris
ct Kansas City.
The transaction was made and the
three men stayed up quite late in look
log over the city and talking over old
times. Early in the morning Harris
arose and left White and Mills while
they were asleep.
The two latter persons awoke about 8
o'clock and noticing that Harris had
gone, supposed, of course, that he left
early to catch his train. The two men
got breakfast and about 10 o'clock tried
TO cash the check rendered by Harris.
at was found to be worthless
White and Mills then Instituted search
for Harris. They called at several of
the railroad passenger stations to in
uuire if anyone answering the descrip-
ton of Harris had bought ticket to
Kansas City. No one had.
The two men then tried to discover if
Harris had returned to Augusta. They
are of the opinion that some mistake
has been made about the check and do
not think that Harris deliberately tried
to beat them out of their money

c. Nevins. As Mrs. Nevins is dead and
she having left no will. who becomes
the owner of Mrs. Nevins' one-fourth
interest? Is Mr.. Nevins her heir as
husband, or was Mrs. Nevins' sister and
brothers the heirs? Judge Dale decided
that Mr.. Nevins was the heir and his
decision was given accordingly.
The decision deciding that Mr.. Nevins
becomes one-fourth owner of the proper
ty valued at $25, 600. means that his In
terest in the property is one-fourth of
S25, 900, or $3.50.

A Good Thing.

Every issue of the Four-Track News
makes it easier for ticket agents and

distant parts of the country, for the
reason that every article and every il
lustration in the Four-Track News is
an inducement for readers to travel and
see what a marvellous variety of scene
ry and climate our own country pos
sesses The more these facts are i'm
pressed upon the average person, the
more certain he or she is to have de-
sire to travel. Therefore. the Four

BIG TIME AT RH1LLIPsBURa.
Band Carnival of Past Week a De-
cided Success.

Phislipsburg, Oct. 3.-This has been
a festival week for our city. A band
carnival was held here for three days
There were six bands from a distance
in attendance which furnished excellent
music. Each afternoon a parade con-
sisting of thirty-five floats, representing
the various business interests of the
city, marched in procession through the
principal streets. These floats were all
attractive and many of them unique
and interesting. There were fully five
thousand people here on Tuesday and
nearly as many on Wednesday. Dur
ing the week three concerts were given
by the ladies' orchestra Of this city, as
sisted by vocal talent. Mrs. c. A.
Lewis and Mrs. C. NJ Poe were the
soloists. The music was of a high order
and enjoyed by large and apprecia-
tive audiences.
On Tuesday evening was the first en-
tertainment given under the auspices of
our lecture bureau. Christmas Cards
was recited in a very artistic manner
by Mr. Montaville Flowers, of Cincin-
natl.
There have been many improve
ments in our city during the sum-
mer. At least a dozen new residences
have been built. besides several bust
ness houses. The town is full of people
and there are not enough houses to rent
to supply the demand.

lANGlEY'S AIR ship

Whitewater, Va. Aug. 2l.-Langleys
big aerodrome was placed in position
ON the superstructure of the houseboat
lite this afternoon. The whole airship
force worked on the body, arranging
machinery and adjusting the wings,
until shutdown. The flying machine
was then returned to the interior. It
was the first time that IL has been ex-
posed to the press representatives.
Her machinery and dimensions were
plainly visible. Amidships is a great
mass OF wheels, rods, boilers, pistons
and various other mechanical devices
II is exceedingly complicated. The
body consists Of several long steel
Lars centrally located. With bow.
spirit and rudder II will measure sixty
feet.
Close to the motor is the navigator's
car This is built for weight OF l50
pounds. II probably will carry PROBES.
sor Langley who was in IL repeatedly
this afternoon. The gasoline motor,
which weighs 200 pounds, generates
something in excess of ~ horsepower.
II is connected by bars to propellers
about six feet in diameter and capable
OF revolving 200 times per minute.
The motive power is sufficient to pro-
duce a velocity OF forty miles per hour.
Placed equally about the ship are five
empty conical bodies designed as floats'
to keep the airship up should she
strike the water.
Fore and aft are two strong plat.
forms on each side to support the
wings. These are OF delicate but rigid
construction, twenty by thirty feet, at.
iording a sustaining area of 800 square
feet. During the work repeated photo.
graphs OF the machine were made.
The wings were placed in comport.
ments on the superstructure and re
peatedly adjusted. With good weather
conditions a test is expected Saturday

CHAPTER XXI.

The following morning Pole rose be-
fore daylight and rode to barley. As
be reached the place the first rays Of
the sun were touching the slate-cov-
cred spire of the largest church in
town. He went to "a public wagon yard
and hitched his horse to one OF the
long racks. A mountain family he
knew slightly had camped ia the yard,
sleeping In their canvas covered wag-
on, and were making coffee over a lit
tie fire. Pole wanted a cup of the bev-
erage, but he passed on into grocery
store across the street and bought a
dimes worth OF cheese and bareback
crackers. This was his breakfast. He
washed 1t down with a dipper OF water
from the street well and sat around
the store chatting with the clerk, who
was sprinkling the floor and sweeping
and busting the long room. The clerk
was red-headed young man with a
short, bristling mustache, and suit
Of clothes that was too large for him.
Don't Mr.. Craig stay around Finch
er's warehouse a good deal?" Pole
asked as the clerk rested for moment
on his broom near him.
Mighty nigh all day long" was the
reply. Him an Fincher's some kin,

"on his wife's side" said Pole. IL

he'll be down thar this mornin'."

AN of course he wants somewhar
to go besides home. In passln' I've
seed i'm a-fgurin' several times at
Fincher's desk. They say he's got
some notion o. workin fer Flncher as
his bookkeeper."
well, he'll have TO make a Twin
some way said Pole.
The clerk laughed significantly.
EFT 1t amt already made" said he
with a smile.
Pole stood up. II don't think that's
right" he said coldly. Me nur you
nur nobody bain't got no right to hint
at what we don't know nothin' about.
