The Cubs New Left Hand Pitcher
Has q Good Record.


Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. lit has been an
nounced that the new left-hand pitcher
of the Chicago National league baseball

He is a near neighbor of Robert Emslie,
veteran umpire of the parent major
league, at ST. Thomas, Ont.
Graney is 20 years old. He attracted
much attention in the past two seasons
in Canada and around Buffalo, N. Y,
by his mastery box work with minor
league teams. He is said to have terrific
speed for a left-hander and control
tl.at is well-nigh perfect. His pitch
ing for Fulton, in the Empire State
league, was SO good that 1T attracted
the attention of Manager Frank Chance
last summer, and he angled for Graney.
Not until today, however, did the chi
cago club have the contract of Graney
to tuck safely away for 1907
Graney has defeated some OF the
strongest teams in the Eastern league,
and was much sought after, but the
offer of President Murphy landed him.
He is 5 feet 8 inches tall and has
delivery something on the order of Tom

More Fires Than Usual in
Several Months.

Hutchinson, Kana Jan. 1.-The
Hutchinson fire department had the
biggest bunch of work in its history
Sunday night. From 9 o'clock on to a
little after o'clock next morning
there were four calls. Two of these
required hose to be stretched.
The first fire was at the home of J.
B. Rishel. This was little after 9
Hue burning out, but no damage was
done and no water was thrown.
At 1890 o'clock Monday morning
there was a call at the Mothers
FRIEND bakery. A gasoline can had
caught on fire there and some clothing
burned. The chemicals were used
there and the damage was slight.
At o'clock there was another call
to the grocery and feed store of
Richey & Company, at the northeast
corner of South Main and Avenue E.
The interior of the store was pretty
badly damaged, and the building
itself suffered somewhat. Water was
used. The damage will be about $500.
but it is covered by insurance. The
origin of this fire is not known. The
stretch OF hose led across the Rock
Island tracks for this fire and freight
crew backed a car onto the hose, cut
ting it so that it is worthless.
The fourth call was for q blaze in a
tool house for the Rock Island, just
east of the freight house of that road.
The building is small and it is used for
car cleaners house. Some oil and
supplies were burned, but the damage
is not large. Water was also thrown
at this fire. 1t is not known how it
started.
This made rather a busy night for
the fire boys. rr

Bank OF CoffeyFilIe Sends Paper Back
to Washington.
The banks of this city are flooded
with filthy money. Some of it may be
tainted, but the worst feature of it is
that 1t smells bad and is torn and dir
ty. This applies to the paper money
which is so much in use not only here
but all through the middle and eastern
states 1t is surprising to know how
many hundreds and thousancs of dol
lars of paper money in circulation
which has been used SO long that it is
almost impossible to tell the denomi-
nation of the bills

banks are charged the cost of sending

$1,000 to send it from here. The CASH
Ter. stated that he could send in as
much as $4,000 every week Tor several
weeks or until the country was rid
ded of this worn out money which is
still in use. Every time a fellow gets
bad bill he takes it to the bank and
exchanges it for something better. The
banks of course do not like to have
to pay the cost of sending it in, and
they put 1t off as long as possible 1t

chimes During Past Year.
Chicago, Jan. 1.-Motorfng in Chi
cago meant more in dollars and cents
curing 1906 than ever before. The in
crease in the city's expenditure for the
joys, comforts and utilities of automo-
bling contributed no mean item to the
aggregate of Chicago's living expenses
Just how. much no member of the trade
ventures to say without fear of con-
tradiction, for the cars themselves do
not compass the total sum that Chi
cago spent for the sport. After the
agencies filled their Golfers, the tire
companies came in for a rich share.
The accessories houses, with a more
alluring offering than in any earlier
year, likewise bore off their goodly por-
ton. =
Estimated in round figures, the motor
car industry added somewhere between
100000 and $9.00O,0 900 to the city's COM
merce. The sale of cars themselves is
the most easily reached figure. An agency
roundup made last week to determine
the individual output of each house in
dictated that Chicago was a clearing
house for about $500 cars-some new
and others delivered to out-of-town
agencies through branch establish
ments in this city.
The average price OF the new cars Is
declared to be about $4,000. Second
hand cars brought a considerably
lower average figure. The total value
of the cars, both new and secondhand,
was not far from $4,000, 900. While the
accessories total came to $3.50, 900 or
So 900, 600 more.
