Base Ball.
coLFAx, 9. MARKsvILLE, o.

COLFAX, y. MARKsvILLE, U.
The game of base ball arranged for
last Monday came off as scheduled,
but not with the Alexandria team.
Manager LaCroix received word Sum
day morning from the Alexandria
boys that they could not play on the
day appointed. Not to be outdone,
Mr.. LaCroix brought the long dis
tance telephone into use and by Sun
day night had game arranged with
Marksville. The Marksville aggrega-
tion put in their appearance Monday
morning, and after taking a needed
rest and partaking of the Institute
barbecue dinner were ready to play
ball.
When the Marksville boys walked
out on the field our boys saw at once
that they had hard team to beat.
The game was called at 2:3O o'clock
sharp, with the visitors at the bat.
The game was hotly contested
throughout, and it was anybody's
game until Marksville clicked" and
threw the game to Colfax. "White-
wash" was administered several times
|-Colfax applying the "brush" in four
innings, while Marskille only used it
three times. Up to the seventh in
ming the score stood 8 to 5 in favor
of Colfax. In the seventh inning the
score tied. In the eighth inning Col
fax was shut out and Marksville made
A runs on two wild plays, making the
score II to 8 for the visitors. In the
ninth inning Marksville was shut out
and Colfax had three runs to her
credit, with no one out, and a man
on second and third base, when the
visiting team threw the game up,
claiming that the umpire had made
an unfair decision. This, of course.
gave the game to Colfax.
The most exciting features OF the
game were Charles LaCrOix's home
run, John Meningitis quick and
pretty double play, and Bob Nc
Knights and Willie FaraldO's three
base hits. Oscar Hyde kept 'em
guessing at his "kinks," while Dick
Mcknight made 'em marry" on
first base.

She will probably not recover. s

had been married only a short time

ed his opinion of the business situa-
ton, "and l care to say no more at
this time. In the west agriculture is
the basis of business, throughout the
east industrial works are the dominat-
ing factor, and you know their cOndI-
ton as we'll or better than | do.
I'VE have got things too high in
price to sell to any people but our
selves and now if we would sell to the
world at large it must be at prices
other people will pay. That means
We must sell cheaper.
Il have rot now and never had a
dollar invested in so-called "industrial

floated which consisted of wind ana
nothing else. In good times every
thing seeks its level and in the end

SHOPLIFTERS
USE CHLOROFORM
How Two Women at Pendeton Stole
Skirt From Alexander's De-
partment Store.

Pendleton.-One of the most daring
and dangerous case of shoplifting
which has been recorded for some
time occurred in the department store
of R. Alexander Thursday afternoon
when two unknown women attempted
to chlOrofOrm the two lady clerks and
made way with a fine skirt valued at
SIS. Miss Peters, one of the clerks, is
very i'll as a result of the attempt and
the other lady was sick for some time
after the women had left the store.
But for the watchfulness of Mr.. Hol-
ley, the head clerk in the dry goods
department, the shoplifters would
was they were caught and the skirt
recovered.
During a little rush in business yes
terday afternoon two ladies, one tall,
light and wearing a big felt hat with
dark trimmings and feathers; the
other small, dark, with sort of blue
hat entered the dry goods department
of the store and engaged the services
of the lady clerks. The clerks say
that they Immediately smelled queer
odor but supposed that it was moth
ing more than new kind of perfume
which the customers were using.
Miss Peters seemed to get the most
of the drug as she was very i'll for
a time afterward But the custo-
mers did not make any purchases.
Mr.. Holley got a Whit of the stuff and
being busy with another customer
looked down that way. His suspi-
cions were Immediately aroused as he
noticed that the two lady clerks DID
not seem well. The two customers
left the store about the time he be-
came suspicious and he followed
them.
They went down Main street, down
Alta a couple Of blocks when they
became aware that Mr.. HOlley Was
following them. The short woman
ran down a side street while the tai
Ter one threw something behind a
board fence and turned to face Mr..
Holley.
Mr.. Holley at once demanded to
know what it was she had thrown be
lind the fence. She told him it was
none of his business and for him to
so on. Jumping the fence he picked
up the bundle and found that it was
one of the high-priced skirts which
had been hanging on a rack in the
store. He then compelled her to re-
turn to the store. This she did under
pressure and Mr. Alexander settled
the business somehow
At the time OF the settlement Mr.
Alexander did not know Of The at
tempt to chOlOrOfOrm the clerks. and
in fact they did not take sick until
about this time. When he learned
of this he informed the police and
asked to have the two women arrest
ed, but the women had plenty OF
time to make a good getaway, which
they probably did.
The police made a thorough search
OF all the lodging houses of the city
but failed to locate the two women
Had the matter been reported at once
the thieves could have been appre
hended as the police are positive that
they are the same two women who
picked a mans pockets the night be
fore.

elbow the sleeves are made in full
puffs with three tucks and gathered
into a cuff of braided cloth. An err
mine toque trimmed with blue silk
and ostrich pompons is worn with the
gown.
Although it is somewhat too pro-
nounced for entire gowns, orange is a
this season. One see it on many of
the smart waists, hats and garnitures,
especially where white or brown pre-
dominates. Nothing makes a more eff
fective lining for the exquisite nut
shades than orange taffeta.
A handsome separate bodice of
white chiffon generously trimmed
with thread lace has a dainty bertha
effect fastened at the front with GU
riously twisted knot of two shades of
orange-colored velvet. Descending
from the corsage is a double twist of
the velvet which meets a girdle of
the same caught with a handsome
gold buckle set with rough topazes
The increasing width of girdles has
caused a flutter Of fashions domain
make it an important part of winter
dress trimmings and there is a gener-
al OutCIy against it because Of its eX-
actions. The only figure to which it
is possible is a very slender, long
wasted one, and even then, if the
wearer is too tall. the style is not
certain to be becoming. Where the
figure will permit however, no detail
lends more cachet to a gown.
Smart cOutOuTieres are extending
! the province Of plaits above the belt
line to many Of the bodices. This
idea is eXenPliied more in at-hOme
gowns though than in street toilettes
( because the pliable fabrics used fo1
house toilettes are more adaptable tC
plaits and folds. IN at-home gown
that displays more than ordinary
originality is TUssett brown wolfe over

effect is a waist of white lace over

top piece Of the lace and this is Dor
uered very simply with a strip OF
brown embroidery which extends over
the bodice forming a border for the
rich lace yoke Deep cuffs of silk from
which fall folds of soft lace complete

It is predicted that later in the sea
son fashion will revert to very high
stocks and collars. 1t has been fount
that the narrow comfortable bands
that are now so highly favored will no.
be able to withstand the cold of win
ter and fashion does not care to be
responsible for sore threats and ach
ing chests. Although collars may be
high, however, they will be very soft
the most delicate support being uset
to hold them up. Anything stiff ant
formidable looking will be discarded
as ungainly and unfeminine, but there
are so many dainty designs to choose
from that one stands little chance O.
falling into such a sartorial error.
