SOME OTHER BASEBALL NEWS

Frank II. Bassett. of Hopkinsville,
who was at one time manager of the
Hopkinsville team, and who later
took to the blue blouse and Indicator
and served as Jumps" in the Kitty
and Cotton States league, is back in
his home town and with his arrival
the talk of starting a small league
has revived.
Bassett is dubbed by a Hopkins
vile paper the father of the Kitty
league" and he thinks he will be sue
cessful in starting the talked OF
league. 1t is proposed that Clarks-
vile, Bowling Green, Hopkinsvlle,
Henderson, Owensboro and Madison
Vile be associated to form the
league and Bassett has started the
work OF organization, it is said.
Hopkinsville and Clarksville might
hold out in the league. but the other
towns are doubtful. Henderson and
Owensboro has failed successfully to
hold up in the Kitty league, and
while the expense of the proposed
new league would not be so great as
in the Kitty. 1t would possibly be too
great for the smaller towns to stand.
Fans acquainted with situation do
not believe such league would hold
out. The Hopkinsville fans will have
a team, nevertheless, this season, If
the league is not formed, and play
Independent ball.

Every woman who

a deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely TO become active
and with a host of ner-
vous irritations make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.
Such warning symp-

of impending evil, timid-

SECOND ANNUAL BALL

The Second Annual Ball of the Treadwell Fire Department has passed into history; the long looked for and important event has come and gone, more than fulfilling expectations and full of pleasant surprises, making the date, Tuesday, August 28th, one long to be remembered.
 The weather was rainy, wet and miserable. but one forgot all of that as soon as your feet crossed the thres- hold of the Club. It seemed as though some magician had touched everything with his magic wand and presto!-in- stead of the building we know so we'll we have an enchanted palace, filled with beautiful mysteries. The first things that greeted the eye were the letters of fire, T. r. D., which took the place of the dragon that guards the enchanted palaces of the story books. Following the throng we are soon daZ- zled by scene of splendor never before witnessed in ball room decoration in Alaska. The color scheme was crimson and white, with the windows and bal comics covered with lattice work, and stars and draped bunting on the walls and ceiling. An oriental booth, with futed columes served as dispensaay for cooling beverages.
 A burst of music from the seven piece orchestra and the grand march has started, led by the Douglas and Treadwell mascots, lone Mcdonald and Mae Mccormick, followed by the two Chiefs and ladies after whom came the gaily dressed fire boys each with a lady at his side-and such ladies' it seemed as if every one had tried to outdo the other in the matter of dress, there was every color of cloth from somber black to bright crimson, and every make from peek-a-boo waist to nearly no waist at all, and the dance went on.
 About half-past tenit was announced that the lunch was ready and then the holiday appetites began to get busy, but there was plenty for all and their friends and neighbors, and the eating kept up until late hour-for the lunch was really fine.
 Governor Hoggatt and Mir. Bradley were guests of honor and seemed to enjoy the occasion immensely.
 Souvenirs of the Ball were the pro- grams containing a picture of the champion Mexican hose team starting on the Fourth of July.
 The program was danced through and the crowd went home, weary but happy, to dream of red and white stars, strawberry ice cream, peek-R.boo waists and dreamy music.
 The flremen are to be congratulated on their Second Annual Ball, it was we'll arranged, carried out without hitch and will be model hard to ex- eel in years to come.

Dead From EpileptiC Attack.

Considerable excitement was
created Monday afternoon by the
discovery of the dead body of VIII
Robinson in the yard behind the
courthouse.
Robinson, who was about 80
years of AGE, was subject to epilep-
tie fits. and died during one of the
attacks.
1t will be recalled by many that
he was arrested as a supect in the
John Lockley murder case several
years ago.
John Lockley, negro, was
murdered and his dead body placed
upon the railroad track to hide the
evidence of the crime. Robinson
was arrested as suspect, but as
no evidence could be procured
which would convict him of the
otlense, he was released. The
murderer was never detected.
AS there was no indication that
Robinson met death other than
naturally. the body was turned
over to his relatives for interment.
