At the be- ginning of the fourth inning Fort Scott had one run, while lola had still her first to get, but after Fort Scott had made nothing in it's half lola started off with three hits in succession. filling the bases. There were no outs and when the next tman came up to bat Pen nington was playing in for sacrifice. The batter sent hot line drive to Pen < nington, who staggered, but held it; re- covering himself, he immediately turned round, touching the man on sec ond who had started for third. Pen- nington then ran to third base and re- tired the man there who had started for home plate before he had time to return. A round of cheers greeted the young player as soon as 1t was realized what he had done. The play won the game for the Fort Scott team as the final score was to 3 in their favor. Only twice before in the history of the game has the play been made.

st. Louis, Feb. 25.-By setting up
the plea that the turf investment
companies were simply gambling
schemes and that all depositors, or
rather partners in the business, must
have known the nature of the bust
ness, Charles T. holland, attorney for
John j. Ryan, secured an instant dis
missal, Tuesday, of the first of the
many attachment suits filed against
the investment companies.
This is regarded as the defense that
all of the 'get-rich-quick" concerns
will make in the many attachment
proceedings now pending.
The suit was brought when the first
intimation of the crash vas ma le

Of Constable +. +. Guion, Of Justice

Charter Amended,

The st. Louis, San Francisco and
New Orleans railroad has filed an
amendment to its original charter in
creasing its capital stock from 81 1,5O0,-
600 to s11,500000, or increasing the
total by ten million dollars. The in
crease is for the purpose of covering
expenditures for extensions, addi-
tlonal motive power and general
equipment. While this road does not
appear authentically as a branch of
the Frisco, such it is believed to be.
The road is the same which purchased
the Louisiana and Arkansas, which in
its extension northward has just
reached Hope, on the main line Of
the Iron Mountain. 1t will be joined
at that point by the Frisco extension
from Ashdown, which will in turn
be connected with the Kansas City
branch of the Frisco. The st. Louis,
San Francisco and New Orleans has
already purchased extensive terminals
in New Orleans. proposing to enter
that city from Kansas City, by way of
Fort Smith. Ashdown, Hope, Stamps,
and thence in southeasterly direc-

existed at Fort Smith for a number of
years. The government ceded por-

SOME CANARDS EXPLODED,
Some Newspaper stories Anent tho White
House without Foundation
In Fact.

Washington, Feb. 25.-CoI. Theo-
dore A. Bingham, superintendent of
public buildings and grounds, has
yestigation into the statement, re-
Gently published widely throughout
the country, that sideboard pre-
sented to Mrs. Lucy Webb Hayes
while she was mistress of the White
House by women of the w. c. T. u.
has passed into the hands of Wash
ington saloonist.
The statement was made that the
sideboard was presented to Mrs.
Hayes, out of regard to her determi-
nation not to permit wine to be
served at White House dinners.
Col. Bingham's investigation dis
closes clearly the fact that the pub
lished statement practically had no
foundation in fact. So far as the rec
ords and a recent voluminous corre-
spondence with interested parties go,
no such sideboard ever was presented
to Mrs. Hayes by members of the w.
c. I. u, by any other body of women.
or by any individuals. Two sideboards
from the White House were recently
sold at auction. The offer of these,
as of other articles from the White
House was made in accordance with
the law. The investigation has devel-
oped the fact that the one which w
purchased by saloonist was bought
for the White House during the in
cumbency as president of Gen. Ar
thur. The other was bought for use
in the mansion at an earlier date.
Where it now is can not be ascer-
tanned. The only article presented to
Mrs. Hayes for use in the White
House was a carved frame for her
portrait. 1t was found unsuitable for
its purpose, and is understood now
to be in the possession of the Cincin-
natl school of design. With respect
to the criticism that former portraits
of mistresses of the White Hol e
were hung in the "cellar" of the man.
sion, it is stated by the same author
ity that the portraits are in the cor
ridor on which is the presidents
private Office, on which there are sew
eral guest chambers, through which
all guests of the president have to
pass, and that the portrait of Mrs.
Roosevelt is hung directly opposite to
that of Mrs. Hayes.
