AFTER BRIEF TALK
His Eight for Love- Is
Grand Victory.
BOTH HAPPY ONCE MORE
Will Go to New York to Begin Re-
hearsals of New Play Written
for Them.

SIOCN FALLS, s. d, Jan Bob
FitzsimmOns has won "a fight for love"
more notable than any he ever achieved
in the play OF that name. in which he
and his wife starred for two years.
BY pretending that he would leave
Sioux Falls on the i o'clock train to-
day, abandoning all effort 20 effect a
reconciliation with his wife, he deceiV-
ed her attorney. Judge Aikens, into a
feeling OF security. then neatly eluded
him and through the intercession Of the
proprietor OF the hotel, a lifelong friend,
was enabled TO secure d private inter
view with his wife, who came here to
get a divorce.
IL took only few minutes for Bob's
play to undo all that her lawyer had
done In preparing for their permanent
separation and divorce.
Billing and Cooling
Within half an hour, the two emerged
from his wife's room, billing and COO
ing like two doves. Bob proudly an
nounced that he had again won his
wifes love and that no power on earth
could ever separate them.
Rob was beside himself with JOY. In
his elation he acted more like a crazy
Il
that. while the last three weeks had
added five years to his life, the last
thirty minutes had made him ten years
younger.
To newspaper men gathered about her.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons announced:
Bob and / have adjusted our little
differences and thoroughly understand
each other once more. Bob Is a good
fellow. and has been a good husband 10
me- We viii leave here next Monday
and resume the stage for a livelihood,
appearing in q new play that has been
" ritten foC us
Bob Is Elusive.
Bob was more efrusive in discussing
his new happiness. His elation knew
no bounds.
"Yes. Julia and / understand each
other now" he remarked. Il knew we
could make up in a minute if we had
but chance to get together with no
one else about. We found out right
away that everybody had been misrep-
resenting US TO each other and that
neither of us had really said or done
anything for which the other should 1eel
angry.

Flood of Applications to Furnish Chi
nese for the Isthmus.

Washington. Aug. 14.-Scores of ap-
plications for information concerning
the proposed contract for $500 Chinese
laborers have already reached the 18TH
mian canal commission and indications
are that hundreds of persons are plan
ming to make bids for this contract in
the hope of realizing a small fortune
from it as several bidders did on the
recent issue of Panama canal bonds
But prospective bidders without extern
sive financial backing will be much dis
appointed. It will be required that a
large certified check, probably not less
than $4,000 shall accompany each bid.
Bids not accompanied by such a guar
antee- of good faith will not be consid-
cred
Advertisements for proposals to sup
ply the Chinese laborers must be pub
lished for 30 days and consequently no
proposals will be opened before Septem-
Der Is, at the earliest. Several months
will be required to get the Chinese to
this country after the contract has been
awarded. Consequently the commits
sioners do not expect to have the Chi
nese labor on the isthmus before jan
uary I, 1907.

Electric railway went to Harveyville
Monday IN an automobile, accompanied
by G. r. Parkhurst, the civil engineer
and M. S. Stout.
The route of the electric line has been
surveyed via Eskridge, but the engi-
neer reports after making the overland
trip to Harveyville that the line may be
built via that place at a cost of ap-
proximately 10 per cent less than by
way of Eskridge, on account of the nat
ural typography of the country being
more favorable for the line, than the
other route.
A meeting will be held at Harveyville
tonight to discuss the project Reports
from Harveyville indicate that there is
a great deal of enthusiasm at that place
in the project and that efforts are be-
ing made to induce the road to build
that way.

compelled to locate elsewhere.

JOBAAA at " 4S4A%d-
There has been a rumor circulated
among the supersutious element of the
fans that the sale of Downs and For
roster was somewhat fictitious. Her
man Grow, the secretary and treasurer
of the local team, yesterday received a
check from Manager Armour of the De-
troit team for two thousand dollars, the
purchase price for the two players.
There are now three Olsons playing
in the Western Association. Ole Olson
is playing short for Joplin and his
younger brother Emery, is now with
the Topeka team where he will be given
a tryout at second. He will play this
position for the Cooleycrows in 1907 if
he shows up well this year. Another
Olson who is not related to the other
two is being tried out by Webb City.
This one halls from Kansas City where
he played last year in the semiprOfes-
sional circles of that city.
joplin News-Herald: Webb City is
making a strong effort to strengthen
its team and the management is sure
that it will be able to finish in the sec
ond division, with the aid of the new
players that have been secured. The
pitching staff requires the greatest at
tention. Pitchers Kraft and baltimore.
two of the stars of the old South Central
league have been secured and Bert
Shaner is in Colorado recuperatlng after
a severe spell of fever. He will probably
be able to work in several games at the
end of the season. Eddie McDill has
been loaned to Joplin, and new in
fielder will fill his shoes at third base.
McDill has never been able to play good
ball for Webb. Hayden is now in Leav-
enWorth comforting with Captain ROM
Pitcher Jack Root, who was recently
suspended by Oklahoma City, has also
been purchased by Webb City for $3.50.
Eddie Noyes has caught IN forty-two
consecutive games. He is one of the
best catchers in the league, handles the
pitchers well, has a good whip to sec
0nd and hits the ball with regularity.
His only short-coming in his size He
is rather short and quite bit light for
his position but at that he is good
catcher and one of the best men on the
Hutchinson team.
The Leavenworth team has taken
quite a brace since Nick Kahl has taken
charge of the team They are now Tor
midable contenders for first division
honors.
Campbell ana Geer. two of the. twirIers
on the Webb City pitching staff, have
been given their walking papers and
are now out of job
The results of the White Sox games
on the present trip are watched with
much interest If they make a good rec
ord on the trip it is reasonably assured
that the pennant will be floating al the
local park next season. Much interest
attaches itself to the series with Spring
field. The AGidgets have always been a
hoodoo to Topeka and are one of the
few teams who have won a majority Of
their games from the White Sox- The
opinion now prevails in Topeka that it
will take something besides hOodoo to
beat the Coo1eycrows at the present
pace they are setting
