A Pre- a!er1 In Numbers.

No one Is known to have succeeded
in finding two integral numbers such
that the sum of their cubes would pro-
Guce the cube of Il whole number. The
cubes of the first ten numbers give the
following series: 1-S-27-64 125-216-343
512-720-1 600. This series may be pro-
longed indefinitely, The problem would
then be to find two members of the
series such that their sum Is just equal
TO another member Adding 125 and
ZIG, we get BAL, which is certainly
pretty close to SAB, Again, adding 216
and 512, we obtain 72S. which is with
in single unit of 100. another mem Der
of the series. Another example of be-
ing very close, but not exact. is that
TO plus 1000 gives 1,729. which is but
a single unit more than 1,72S. the cube
of IL. 1t will thus be seen that the
first twelve cubes yield two cases
where the approximation Is but unit
out of the way. AS the possible cubes
are infinite in number. 1t may seem
worth while to prosecute the search

If an old English writer be true in
his observations. the pheasant must be
a very simple bird, for he declares that
1t puts its head in the ground and
thinks that all It's body Is then hidden.
The same author says that 1t was also
captured by another curious plan. A
picture Of the bird was painted on
cloth and then placed In a spot where
1t was sure Of being seen. BY and by
silly pheasant coming along catches
sight of the portrait and goes up to
have a close view of the new neighbor.

BASEBALL UMPIRES.
Kicking on Their Decisions Is as Old
as the Game.

Much has been said and written
about the habit that ball players have,
and apparently cannot break them
selves of entirely, of disputing deci
sions of the umpire. The practice dates
back for many years. AS far back as
1860 in an account of a game between
the famous Atlantics of Brooklyn and
the Excelsiors there appeared the fol
lowing:
1--WE hope to see the boys play of dis
putting over the decision Of umpires en-
tirely done away with"
Many years have passed since that
was written. and the players still dis
pute what in some quarters it is ar
gued should be the sacred decisions of
the judges of play. Nowadays the best
umpires in the game make allowance
for the state of mind a player Is i'll
while engaged in a close contest.
The following extract Is from New
York paper printed in 1867:
Kelly says that Peck's dummy has
created quite an excitement on Ann
street. Dressed in a full baseball rig,
he looks quite natty. Scofied Of the
Haymakers did think about bringing
the figure over to the Union grounds
to act as umpire in the HaymakerS-
Eckford game yesterday. but a young
man named Mcneil was found who an

EARL HAM AND MIAMI
CLASH AT BASE BALL
College Teams Meet on REID
Field Tomorrow.

The baseball game Wednesday aft
ernOon between Earlham and Miami
promises to be one of the fastest
games the Quakers have taken part
in this year. The oxford players have
had great success this year and are
coming up here with the expectation
of giving the Quakers severe drub
bling. The constant practice which
Coach Vail has put the Quakers
through will show in this game as the
Miami men undergo no training what
ever. This was shown in the recent
dual meet between the two colleges
In which Miami was defeated by the
overwhelmingly large score of 80 tC
Il. The game will be called prompt

The Letters OF Junius."

The vexed question of the real au

never been positively settled. Mr.. Cha

Philip Francis was the author OF the
famous letters. while a strong produc

MEPHlSTO'S RING.
A Jewel That Bears Deadly Reputa-
ton in Spain.

tloH IN SP6ln.
1t seems strange to read in these
days of q ring which Is believed Il
have an evil influence over it's owner
and which is known as "Mephisto :
ring"
Yet such a ring exists and until re
cent years was in possession Of the
Spanish royal family, The ring is SCI
with a very large emerald. in the cen
ter of which is inserted a ruby.
1t Is first heard Of in the sixteenth
century. since when the kings who
owned it have suffered disasters unlim
tied. while the whole country has grad
ually sunk from its former eminent 20
sition.
When the late Hispano-Americal
war broke out the ring was presented
to church. The sacred building short
~ after was destroyed by fire
The next resting place Of the ring
was museum, which was twice
struck by lightning while holding the
i'll omened jewel.
The fatal ring has now. it is said
been packed in n strong box and Sc
curely buried. 1t remains to be seer
whether this will finally put an enc
to its mystic" power - Pearson's

EFFORTS TO GET
TWO MORE TOWNS
Jessup and Winters Desire to
Get Anderson and Marion
In the 10. League.
WILL PLAY AT VAN VERT.
oUAkERS WENT THERE TO-DAY
WHERE THEY WILL CLASH
WITH BUCKEYES IN SERIES
PARKER GETS GOOD OFFERS.

Manager Jessup left this morning
for Marion where he will meet BOD
Winters and other Muncie men, who
have Just taken over the Muncie fran
chise in the /. o. league. They Will
spend a few hours in Marion and will
attempt to interest base ball lovers In
that city to place an |. o. league team
in the field. They are confident that
they will be able to do so.
After concluding their business in
Marion they will then go to Anderson
where an effort will be made to inter
est the fans of that city to organize
a stock company for the purpose OF
placing a club in the field.
Marion and Anderson each have
good ball parks and they are centrally
located, especially the one at Ander-
son, which is opposite the PennsylVa-
MIA station. The expense of placing a
team in the field would not be great
and, it is understood the fans in both
cities are extremely anxious for fast
base ball.
In the face of bad weather and hard
times, the four clubs in the |. O. lea
que have not had path Of roses TO
traverse but at that they have been
holding their own in Il fairly creditable
manner. The people backing the clubs
feel that if two additional cities can
be added to the league the fans will
take greater interest in the sport
as 1t will make the pennant race more
exciting
Wednesday there will be a league
meeting at Muncie and at this meet
ing Manager Jessup and the new own
ers of the Muncie team will report the
success or failure of their efforts to
place teams in Anderson and Marion,
Should they report that they have
been unsuccessful in their efforts to
place clubs there the league vii! con-

Quakers to Van Vert.
The Richmond team left this morn
ing for Van Vert under the manage
ment Of Captain Parker. They will
play there today, Wednesday and
Thursday and then return home Fri
day for a three days series with Mum
Gle. Beginning today Huntington will
play 4 three game series at Muncie.
Parker Will Remain.
Clyde Parker, captain of the local
team and star second sacker, has been
receiving tempting offers from the
Paramount, CIV. Va league team and
he had been seriously considering go
ing there Last week while at Van
Vert the Paramount management wiz
ed him, unsolicited, some advance
money. This was tempting bait but
Parker after serious consideration re-
turned it, deciding that he would rath-
er remain here. Il like Richmond and
] have never been treated better any
where than in this city. Another rea-
son why | have decided to remain here
is because | like to play under Manag-
er Jessup,' Parker stated last even
ing. The decision OF the hard hitting
second baseman to remain with the
local club will be hailed with delight
by all the fans with whom Parker is
great favorite.

ian with a very bad reputation from
that section whose name Is Angelo
Brello. The girl was taken to
Waynesburg where she was kept by
Berello. at the home of Andy Borrel-
liza. The girl was subjected to the
wors sort of treatment by her abduct-
or and he is now being hunted by the
Pennsylvania officers on very serl-
Gus charge.
While kept in mis- control the girl
was often threatened with death and
torture II she betrayed the man. She
learned that he was Black Hana
member and thinks he was holding
her for ransom Recently she es-
capped from his clutches and notified
the Waynesburg police OF her plight.
The man finding this out at once left
the town and has not yet been To-
Gated. The officers have made ar
rangements for the return of the girl

OUT
FOR GORE
And the Entire Republican
Ticket-lssues an
Address.
PLEDGES HIS SUPPORT
Address Abounds With a Spirit
ofParty Loyalty All
Appreciate.

L. Wayman Ogden, former county
superintendent OF schools. who was
a candidate at the Republican
primary election April 6 last for the
nomination for county clerk of Har-
rison county, has issued an address
to his Republican friends and to the
public In general, assuring them of
his intention to zealously support
Howard NJ. Gore for that office and
the remainder of the Republican
ticket.
Mr.. ogden's address is as follows:
ITO my Republican friends and the
public in general:
Impressed with the prevailing
spirit of the Republicans of West
Virginia to get together in all mat
tiers and dismiss all discussions, a
spirit to be most highly commended
owing to the crucial period in the
state and nation, as we'll as Harrison
county, and having been Republi-
can all my life and still being a firm
believer in that party's principles,
as we'll as desiring Its success, do
not wish to embarrass in the slight
est any Republican candidate or at
tempt to defeat any of the nominees
of the Republican party. las
after advising with my friends
and carefully considering the proper
course for me to pursue relative to
the county clerkship OF Harrison
county, for which was candidate
for nomination at the primary cleo
ton held in. the county on April 6,
1908, 1 have come to the conclusion
to withdraw from further contest for
that office and give my most loyal
support to the entire Republican
ticket.
u expect to support Mr.. Howard
NJ. Gore for the county clerkship with
all the zeal and effort at my COM
mand as well as all of the candidates
on the Republican ticwet from Presi-
dent down, and will earnestly and
diligently prevail upon all of my
friends and supporters to do likewise
in order that the Republican party
may triumph In the county and add
to the election of the state and ma
tional tickets.
"tSigned) L. WAYMAN OGDEN.
'Clarksburg, w. Va, Oct. /, 1908"
Mr.. Ogden frankly tells where he
stands and what his attitude is, and
thus explodes another bomb in the
Democratic camp, whose fond hope
was that he would renounce alleg-
lance to the political party of his
choice and aid even directly In the
effort to elect Democratic county
clerk, and also other Democratic can
didates for county Office.
Republicans generally appreciate
the manly stand he takes in his con-
clusion to diligently and zealously
aid the Republican party in the cleo
ton of its ticket and the good work
he will do in that direction will not
be forgotten.
