GOES TO CAPITAL
Baseball Team Departs Tonigh,
for Six Games Away
From Home.
sEITz GETS HIS RELEASE
Team Thursday-Recomme
by Tom FIemming.

Departing for Springfield tonight the
Islanders leave behind SeitZ, who was
today released from the pitching staff,
and Milligan, who is really not in con-
dition yet to play, having come upon
the urgent calls from here previous to
the arrival of Olmsted. If it is decided
to give him another trial, he will be
put into the game again upon the re-
turn of the team from this trip.
Wants to Play.
Shaub wants to go on the trip, but
Manager Mcconnell President Sexton
and his physician would rather have
him get entirely well before he tries
to play again. They think he would be
in his old time form about the time
the team would return. Shaub figured
materially in the victories of the
Bloomington series, doing some timely
hitting. However, in the field there
was evidence of his weak condition,
and his grit in playing the three games
in his condition and his determination
to not be left behind, is admired.
Another InHelder.
Hammond, an infielder who will be
given a trial at short stop, will join
the team Thursday. He comes from
Holyoke, Mass, and is recommended
by Tom Flemming, who was manager
of the Sioux City team when NJ. H.
Sexton was president of the Western
league. Nothing further is known of
him, but he has been ordered to report,
as nothing is being left undone to fill
the position with a good man. Spanton
will join the team the same day.

Never in the history of baseball in the
city of Bloomington was there so much
dissatisfaction among the patrons of
the game as there is at present. All
seem to think there is a disorganizer
among them, and that there arc too
many captains trying to run the team.

From WIKI esbarre, Pa.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 19.-Four men
we're killed by an explosion that Oc-
CURED Sunday morning in the ButtOn-
wood mine, operated by the Parish Coal
Co, about two miles from this city.
The explosion occurred in a small
structure known as a timberman'S
shanty located along the gangway a
short distance from the foot Of the
shaft. In this shanty was stored a
lot OF giant powder. A number Of
company hands had been at work dur
ing the night in the mine, and it Is
thought they went to the shanty to
get warm and eat their lunch. The
supposition Is that the heat from the
steam pipes ienited the powder and ex.

WITH EIGHTEEN GOLD Teeth
WHO Knows OF A MISSING NAN
WHO HAD THEM.
Discovery of . skeleton Near %.
Louis That Points to . Murder
During the worlds Fair.

st. Louis, Feb. 17.-Thursday even
ing, while clearing away some under
brush on the Clecburg place, three
miles west OF Bonfls, st. Louis u
~, Frederick Schroeder discovered
the skeleton of a man partially Inn
bedded in silt that had been deposited
by the overflow of the Missouri river.
The skeleton was hat OF a man about
s feet Z inches in height, and appeared
to have been dressed in clothes of
good quality. che fact that the hat
was still upon the head and that the
underground was dense indicated that
the body had not been washed in there
by the flood.
A good prospect OF Identification is
afforded in the fact that the skeleton
has 10 gold teeth, four %gold-capped on
a bridge in the front of the upper jaw
and at each end of the bridge a solid
gold tooth, four capped with gold on
the upper left side and two capped
with gold on the upper right side.
There were three OF solid gold in the
lower front and two OH the left lower
side Of solid gold, and n capped.
That he could afford to spend on
dentistry as much as the gold teeth
must have cost indicates that his cir
cumstances were probably such as to
offer inducements to the criminals
who operated in st. Louis county dur
ing the Worlds fair to kill him for his
money.
