After the last two reunions an epi-
demic of weddings broke out. A mat
rimonial wave seemed to sweep
through the ranks of the society and
claimed for it's victims many of its
faithful officers, who rendered their
designations and became beaedicts.
A number of bachelor girl clubs in
central Illinois are the outgrowth of
the bachelors reunions. Prominent
among them is the Hillsboro Bachelor
Girls club, of Hillsboro, which dates
its organization back several years.
1t is composed of wealthy, hand.
some, and talented young women of
nillsboro, and all are members of
prominent families in Montgomery
county. Quite friendship exists be-
tween the two associations. and sew
eral weddings between its members
have resulted.
The present officers of the associa.
tion are c. p. Hamlin, president; G. d.
Scott, first vice president: William
y. Alden, second vice president; Fred
w. Ernst. secretary. and George Hell.
derbrandt, treasurer.

shake. 1t was unique society func-
ton. Each of the numerous guests
went home from 1t with costly gift
from the hostess. One young lady
was given saddle, another beauti.
full and costly souvenir spoon with an
elk's tooth set in the handle and the
others received gifts equally valuable.
This remarkable woman, who has
made a snug fortune out of little
ranch house in the wilds of Wyoming,
is educated, refined and accomplished
and there is not more gracious host
ess in the state than she. This keeper
of a ranch house has gowns that
would attract attention in any large
city.
So wide has become the fame Of
Mrs. Becker's ranch house and so
great its popularity that a handsome
addition is being built.

LAkAfF IS SOLD
GIG islander SouthpaW Goes to
Detroit American League
Team
AT CLOSE OF PRESENT SEASON
Tiger Management Pays Good Round
Price fer Him-Other Deals
Are On.

Frank Lakaff, the bright star of Rock
Islands pitching staff, in the Three-Eye
league, has been sold to Detroit, and is
already under contract to play with
that team in the American league next
year. The deal was made 10 days ago,
but at the request of the Detroit man.
agement il was not made public until
today. after it had been entirely closed,
and the purchase money received here.
The management declines to give out
the purchase price for Lakaff, but it is
known that he brought a good round
sum, and it is stated that it was as
large as that of any other man in the
Three-Eye brought this year. and more
than any other Rock Island man has
brought in the past.
Rock Island fandom regrets the loss
of Lakaff from the team here, but real
zes that he is of major league calibre.
He has been with Rock Island two and
a half seasons, coming here from Clin-
ton His home is at Delmar, Iowa. He
has an excellent record for this season,
winning the majority of his games
through consistent work.
Others Considered.
There are two or three others of the
Rock Island team who are being con
sidcref as possibilities for the big
leagues, but no other purchases have
been made. Detroit evidently has a lik-
ing for the men of this league, for this
is the third purchase they have made
Kinsella and Jones of Springfield be-
ing the other two drafted. all to report
at the close of this leagues season.

RINGING CANES
Is NOT GAMBLING
But Chicago Attorney Places Ban on
Japanese Bowling Game Such
as Are Operated Here.

The following from Chicago is of in
terest to those whose consciences may
have troubled them in their amuse-
ments at the various parks of the three
cities or at the fairs and bazars so fre-
quent at this time of the year:
ITO deftly throw a ring over a cane.
a knife, or any other object is skill; to
try to roll a ball into a hole on a table
is chance. The first is not gambling,
and the cane game at the pleasure
parks will not be interfered with by
the police The latter. however. comes
under the category of gambling deyic-
es, and the Japanese bowling games at
the parks will be closed. Chief of Po-
lice Collins has been worr ed for some
time over what action he should take
in regard to these two games. but As
sistant Corporation Counsel Edward T..
Wade decided the problem yesterday.
1.-The japanese bowling game is in
my Judgment a game Of chance says
Mr.. Wade. There is no way that we
know OF whereby the average individ-
ual could eliminate the risk of the loss
of his money. either by an exhibition
of skill or by even an extraordinary
display of intelligence"

MlTCHELLS ARE TO
BE RECk0NED WITH
Rock Island Golf Players tc Cut Sane
Figure in Championship Con-
tests.

The Chicago Evening Post. speaking
of the prominent golfers tofparticipate
in the Western Coli association anna
teur championship tourney which be-
gins at the Glen Echo Country club
near ST. Louis Sept. 3, says:
Chicago will not have everything its
own way in the coming tournament by
any means. Down in Rock Island
there are two young cOllegians. former
members of the Williams golf team,
who may be figured in the first fight
of scorers at st. Louis. They are Ardo
and Leon Mitchell. who showed a con-
tinuance of good golf in the Onwentsia
tourney and subsequently on their
home links.
"It is said that Mr.. Mitchell pere was
named Leonardo, and he divided his
name to give each of his sons portion.
They are modest, unassuming young
chaps-sunburned and tanned athletes
who play golf like embryonic cham
pions.
That's all right except as to the deri-
vation of the names of the young men.
Mr.. Mitchell felt that it was glory
enough to be the father of SO promising
a pair, so he passed the namesake hon
or on to their uncle.

is found TO have been acting as the

paid $500 for the franchise and a num-
ber of changes will be made in the
team at once.
President Sexton has not been mott
fed of the circumstances that kept
Wanner out of the game yesterday, but
infers that it is nothing serious or he
would have been communicated with.
1t is the first time Wanner has been
absent from the lineup this season.
Swain is now the only man on the team
who has been in every contest Lakaff
has never missed his turn to pitch.
A peculiar feature in Peoria's at
tendance lies in the small Sunday
crowds, but greatly increased week
day patronage. In comparison with
last year, the Sunday attendance shows
a slight decrease. while that of week
days is more than trebled This is ac-
counted for in part by the unusual
number of people who this year are
spending Sunday in summer camps
along the river. Moreover. the man.
agcment is well satisfied, for they are
practically assured of a seasons at
tendance of 10000.
Rock Island is having a great deal
of bad luck. but We should look at Dav-
enport and be consoled Yesterdays
games put the Hornets ON the bottom
again. This follows the suspension of
Ramey and Lemon. respectively right
fielder and catcher, who have jumped.
Ramey was recently disciplined for
sulking and the punishment did not
improve him. Lemon, who was fined
at Decatur by the umpire, baked
when the tenspot was taken out of his
pay. Lemon will go to Decatur and
take up another line of work and Ra-
mey will probably play ball with the
Woodstock team where there are a
number of other Three-Eye leaguers.
But this is not all of Davenport's trou-
bic, for now the management has been
compelled to sue a number of those
who subscribed for 500 worth of stock
at the time of the reorganization and
who have refused to pay up.

KrPLING.s LATEST POEM.
London Standard.


On the Governments haste to frame
the new constitutions for the South
African colonies, by which Boer as
tendency may again be established in
the Transvaal and the Orange River
Colony.
The shame of Majuba Hill
Lies heavy on our line,
But there is shame completer still,
And, England makes no sign,
Unchallenged, in the market place
OF freedom, chosen land,
Our rulers pass our rules and race
Into the strangers hand.
At great price you loosed the yoke
Meath which our brethren lay,
Your dead that perished ere twas broke
Are scarcely dust today.
Think you ye freed them at that price7
Wake, or you toll in vain
Our rulers jugglingly devise
To sell them back again.
Back to the ancient bitterness,
Ye ended once for all
Back to oppression none may guess
Who have borne its thrall--
Back to the slough of their despond
Helots anew held fast,
By England's Seal upon the bond, "
As helots to the last.
What is their sin, that they are made
Rebellion's lawful prey
This is their sin, that oft betra yed,
They did not oft betray,
That to their hurt they kept their vows,
That for their faith they died,
God help you, children of our house,
Whom England hath denied.
But we, what God shall turn our doom,
What blessings dare we claim,
Who slay nation 10 the wood,
To crown the trickster's game?
Who come before amazed mankind,
Forsworn in party feud,
And search the forms Of law to blind
Our blood to servitude?
Now, even now, before men learn
How near we broke our trust,
Now, even now, ere we return
Dominion to the dust;
Now, ere the gates Of Mercy close
For ever 'gainst the line
That sells its sons to serve its foes,
Will England make no signs

ATHENA. ORE, AUGUST. al, 1906

With $4,000, 900 grain sacks needed
for this years crop on the Pacific coast
this Is the estimate which is quoted
from the American Elevator and
Grain Trade of Chicago-the problem
of procuring enough sacks TO supply
the demand and of obtaining them
at reasonable price has become
acute. The organ of the grain trade
named said that the supply Of sacks
in sight did not exceed 38, 100000.
That leaves shortage of nearly u
600, 1000 bags. Doubtless these will be
procured in some way or another, but
the fact that the supply is so greatly
below the need means vast delay and
Inconvenience to the wheat grower
in some localities, and it also means
in future that they may be compelled
to pay even higher prices than ii
cents per bag, which is now the pre-
vailing figure for foreign made bags.
Even at this price the farmers are
justified in deeming an intolerable
burden on the agriculture of the state.
The only escape seems, for the present,
to lie in the direction of increasing the
facilities for manufacturing grain
sacks at the state prisons. OF course.
there is the plan Of shipping wheat to
tide water III bulk but even this plan,
even If practicable, can only be put
into effect gradually, and would re-
quire many years to install it complete
ly. At present the Walla Walla
penitentiary is turning out some 5000
bags day, which it is selling to the
farmers for l-2 cents apiece. The
seasons run will produce approx
mately 100000 bags This output,
while of great advantage to the grow
ers. is not large enough to have any
considerable effect in fixing the price
in the state of Washington. Warden
KEGS has appealed to the farmers to
elect members of the legislature this
fall who will see that the machinery
at tue state prison is sufficiently in
creased to enable that institution to
turn out 1900, 900 bags annually. The
wheat growers will doubtless support
him in this demand. IL has been a
difficult question in Walla Walla
prison, as i'll every other state peni
tentiary, to lind occupation for the
inmates ut work that does not con-
ilict with free labor. One of the
arguments for bag-making in prisons
is that it is not opposed by the labor
unions.
