RAIN STOPPED GAME
Between Alice and Indians in Third
Inning With Score In Favor OF
the Latter.

A special to the Bulletin from Vim
cennes last night said the second
game Of the post series Of twelye
games between Alice and the Indians
for the championship of the Kitty
League was called in the third inn
ing on account Of rain, at which time
the score stood ! to in favor OF
Paducah,
The Paducah Sun of yesterday says:
There Is little chance Of Paducah's
winning a majority of the games now
being played with Vincennes. Padu-
cab had the best team in the Kitty
league all during the season, until
very recently and everybody knows
IT, But with Piatt sold, Frakes sick,
and Gilligan gone, to say nothing of
Potts being i'll, the local fans will not
be enthusiastically anxious to see the
team play vincennes or anything else,
and when Vincennes wins a majority
or all--of this post season series,
what good will 1t do her? The Alice
men Will know they didn't beat the
Paducah club-the real club that won
I the pennant for the first half, and ev-
eryone else will know IT,

HOW ONE STORE
KEEPS CUSTOMERS.

To Editor of the Bulletin:
What is II that keeps customers 10y
al to one establishment so that they
come back and keep coming hack to
III year after year?
/ was just this minute thinking Of
q new suit, and Immediately | thought
Of a certain store.
In this one store | have always
bought every article of wearing APP
parel, from hose to hats, that have
used. and Just now tried to think Of
valid reason for SO doing
In the first place, | was taken there
when this firm was first established.
Then I became acquainted with the
salesman. and the same man who sold
me then waits on me now. He calls
me by my first name. knows and can
talk. and inteligently, Of my business,
etc.
Whenever ! went into this store
always knew what wanted went
to the department in which the goods
desired were kept stated what
wanted, and what price | wished tc
pay, and ! got it with the minimum
amount Of trouble and in short time
You see the salesman knew me ani
knew my tastes. He also knew where
to find every article in the different
I departments And another thing tina
brought me back to this same store
time after time was the fact that ev
cry article sold was just what 1t wa
represented to be, and changes ant
alterations We're made 10 suit.
| In buying an overcoat, for instance
LIT the fit, etc, did not exactly sui
me. an expert tailor was called and il
a few hours the coat was ready an,
was as good a fitting garment as an,
merchant tailor could produce.
Once a stiff hat discolored my fore
head The doctor said thar this wa
due to myself-that is. my blood wa
in bad order-but anyway took tn
hat back and had a glazed sweat ban,
put in without cost.
When I buy my suits or trousers m
usual custom IL TO have my clothe
pressed every week Now this Is cor
siderable trouble for them but thei
motto is. It's no trouble to satisf
customer"
But the chief reason why | Away
90 back to this establishment Is b,
cause Of the personality Of the sales
, men. Although now located grea
many miles from Cairo where thi
store is located, would not make
trip to that town without dropping |
: and seeing "the boys" there.

Cincinnati. o., Aug. 19.-Prompt ac-

the evident intention of Health Of

has relieved Cincinnati of the immed-
late danger of yellow fever In free

which have been spreading fright and
terror along the river from New Or

The j. B. Finley, said 10 have FIVE
cases of Yellow Jack aboard. and the
Spragne. said to have two cases, will
be forced TO turn back down the riv.
err Every preparation was made TO
meet the steamboats, as they appear
ed and place them under the strict
est observation United States Ser
geant Stevenson of the Marine Hos
pital, had been warned of the boats
coming and he was prepared to fumi-
gate the boats and isolate the crews,
The towboat Sprague was tied up
at Jeffersonville and examined and de.
tanned and the boat thoroughly fumi-
gated. The steamboat Finley was held
Iup at Louisville and went through the
same experience. Along the upper
river as far as Pittsburg came the
message that the federal and other
health authorities would put the
steamboat through the same course OF
Inspection and subject the crew &c
the same examination
Because of this, owners of the line
thought il best TO abandon the up
river trip until all danger Of fever
infection Is passed.
