CAMEL TO BUY CLUB.
American League Baseball Player to
Acquire Grand Rapids

Terre Haute, Ind, Nov. 29.-John
Camel, whose home is in Grand
Rapids, has sent word to ISadore
Mautner of Fort Wayne that he would
close the deal today for the purchase
of the Grand Rapids franchise. Gam
eel also has said that another man
interested with him in the deal has not
as yet been mentioned in that con-
nection.
Up to ten days ago all the talk was
that Camel and Jimmy Mcclure, the
veteran catcher, would buy the club,
but nothing has been said about Nc
CURE recently. Camel is supposed to
be still dickering for his release as
first baseman of the New York Amer
leans.
But little is doing in the matter of
adopting a circuit for the Central
league and little will be done before
the annual meeting in January.
Springfield, o., as the situation is at
present, will get the Marion franchise,
but Springfield has not yet completed
it's organization.

And Get SWindled.

Two years ago a man went over
Bourbon county soliciting teachers to
join what was to be called a Library
Union" A number of the teachers
Joined and gave their notes for the
sum of $3.50 each.
The contract stated that the work
would be divided into a four years
course and that there would be four
counties in each "union.'' Different
sets of books were to be sent to each
of the four counties and at the end of
each year the books would be ex-
changed. 1t was also stated that at
the end of each year the members
would be given two books in addition
to the State Reading circle books.
Part of the teachers did not see the
books. and some of the books that
were first sent are still unde1ivered.
Many of the teachers received two
series, but none received more than
two. The time for the third delivery
is now past several weeks. The notes
were sold and all the members were
compelled to pay. Not only the teach
ers, but the superintendents were
caught.-Fort Scott Republican.

by st. Louis county confidence men
near Delmar garden within an hour

to leave the place at once, which he
did.
Schmidt told a man he met at the
station that he wanted to go to a GER
tain rooming house near Twenty
eighth street. Sure" said the
stranger; there's where I room my
self" The confidence man steered the
Kansan to an Eighteenth street car,
transferred him to an Olive street car
and they alighted after reaching Del
mar garden. There the Kansan was
induced to take a drink in a saloon.
He claims that his new acquaintance
wanted him to drop a ball into a suit
case arrangement with pegs set for it
to pass through. He refused, but the
man dropped it in for him and handed
him 50 for winning. Schmidt told the
man that he did not need the money
and would not take it Then he was
asked if he had any money with hmi.
He drew a roll from his pocket and
showed that he was supplied for the
visit to the fair. One of the men
snatched the roll and ran.

A CHAMPION HUsKER.
Rocks County Man Picks 1872 Bushels
of Corn in One Day.

Talk about rapid corn huskers, will
you? Here's one who comes up to the
head of the class, believe the story or
not, as you please. The parties named
can be found any day, and bear the
reputation of being truthful. Jim
Reeves of Chalk Mound, Rocks coun-

Stanfield of Mt. Ayr, and in one days
work this year -husked and threw into
wagons 1872 bushels of corn. He did
not leave the field except for dinner
and had the wagons brought to him,
sending in four big loads. The work
was all done in the same day. 1t is a
record of which any man might be
proud. Can any other shueker
equal it?-Osborne County Farmer.
