BURHANS BUYS BIG
SLICE SELECT STOCK

Another big stock deal was carried
out yesterday afternoon, which did
not figure in the business of the Ely
Stock exchange.
The deal was private purchase,
of 10000 shares of Rickard Ely
stock by Major c. A.. Burhans, who
has had his finger on the stock pulse
for long time.
After watching the local board for
several weeks with view to making
a purchase that really worth while,
4ajor Burhans instructed his broker,
E. w. Hulse, to buy 10000 shares of
the stock of the Rickard Ely CON-
pany. The stock was picked up in
blocks of 500 and 1000 shares with
considerable difficulty, and was
turned over to Major Burhans last
night, by Mr.. Hulse, who received in
exchange slip of blue paper to
which the majors signature was at
tached. This little slip of paper was
negotiable at local bank for $500.
The transfer was made at 2 cents
per share lower than the selling
price on the exchange last night,
which was made possible by the fact
that the stock had been picked up
in small lots quietly, the purchases
extending over period of several
days.

HERE IS GENUINE
AMERICAN BASEBALL
DARKNESS, WITH TEAMS
TIED.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Detroit and
Chicago, leaders of the American and
National leagues respectively, played
twelve strenuous innings to tie here
yesterday in the first game of the
series for the championship of the
world. The contest was replete with
sensational situations, and when Um-
pire ODay of the National league
called the play off on account of dark
ness most of the 24,377 spectators
sighed with relief and went home
we'll satisfied with the outcome.
Overall and Donovan were the op-
passing pitchers, but the former was
taken out when Chicago had tied the
score in the ninth inning and had
men on bases waiting to score the
winning runs. Moran was sent in to
bat for him, but before the latter had
time to deliver the needed hit, Evers
tried to steal home and was out by
a narrow margin, retiring the side.
Reulbach finished the game and for
three innings retired Detroit's heavy
hitters without the semblance of a
hit The work of all the pitchers
was first-class, but Donovan had a
shade on his rivals in that he struck
out twelve of the opposing batsmen.
His second base on balls was costly,
but with good support he would have

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 9.-The Atch-
inson, Topeka and Santa Fe announc-
ed today an increase in the wages of

souri, divisions, 81 month; on the
Kansas City, Eastern, Southern Kan
sas, Midland, Western Oklahoma and
Pan Handle divisions, SO month; /;

COUNCIL TO REPAIR
AULTMAN At ONCE

Work will be commenced within
the next few days on the repairing of
Aultman street, under orders from

The grade for the streets has not
yet been established, but it is known
that it is below the grade, and to
remedy this, in a temporary manner
gravel and shale will be. distributed
from end to end of the street.
1t was contemplated to begin this

WEALTHY DIAMOND OWNERS
SMUGGLE GEMS ASHORE

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Dia-
mond Importers association has been
working for some time to check
smuggling, which has assumed colos-
sal proportions, according to report
made by Ludwig N. Issan, the chair
man of it's customs committee.
Nearly all the smuggling, accord
ing to the importers, is being done
by wealthy tourists, because dealers
regularly in trade do not dare to take
the risks. Necklaces of pearls, dia-
monds, rubies, and emeralds, and
hand wrought ornaments in exclusive
designs are the articles most COM
monty smuggled. The value of jew
elry smuggled each year is estimated
at between $2,0o0,0000 and $4,000
900.
