SLEPT WITH A MUMMY.

Eben e. Chamberlain, famous
scientist, former city bacteriolo-
gist of Chicago, and honor gradu
ate of Princeton in 1889, is dead
here. He was one of the most re
markable characters and one of
the best chemists in the United
States. Eight years ago Chamber
lain and his business partner went
to Patagonia to look for gold.
While there they made an agree
ment that if one died the other
was to cut off his head and bring
it back home. The partner died
there and Chamberlain carried out
the agreement. He kept the skull
in his room all the time. Between
the grinning teeth was thrust
cigarette, tiny electric light globes
took the place of eyes, and rakish-
ly balanced on one side of the
skull was battered straw hat.
Several years ago, as joke,
some friends Of Chamberlain plac-
ed an Aztec mummy in his bed.
When Chamberlain discovered it
he calmly went to bed and went
to sleep. When his friends claim
ed the mumy next day he refused
to give it up, and from that time
he slept with it constantly. Years
ago Chamberlain made a contract
with a local undertaken to take
charge of his body when he died
and cremate it.-Pittsburg dis

FINE MACHINERY
M INsTALLED

A combined ice crusher and
cream freezer of the latest pat
tern. set on a solid foundation of
concrete, and connected with the
city sewer for the melting ice,
sanitary to the highest degree,
with a capacity of a gallon and
half of the finished product ev-
cry 80 seconds, is the latest piece
of machinery that has been in
stalled by that progressive and
up-to-date druggist, Fred c. Ew-
ing.
This device is operated by cleo
tricity, and the utmost economy
of time and material is obtained
by its convenient and compact
and convenient arrangement. The
throwing on of d switch starts the
five horsepower motor. The big
can begins to turn, and in fifteen
minutes there are ten gallons of
ice cream for the hot, tired and
thirsty patrons.
The foundation of concrete is
solidly constructed, and no jar
or shaking is felt when the ma
chine is in operation. 1t was so
built that the water drains off in
to the sewer, making the depart
ment easily kept absolutely clean
and perfectly sanitary.
The cogs which transmit the
power fro mthe standard to the
freezer proper are protected in
such a way that the possibility Of
accidents from this source is elm
mated.
The machinery, assembled and
put in working order, cost ap-
proximately 400, is Of the most
modern type tnd latest design.

Eighteen Innings Necessary to
Determine victors. ..Ml.
Itt's Pitching Great
sANDY's Winning HIT

Sandusky-our "Sandy"-idol
of Glenwood' fans, for five years
one of the best known baseball
PLAYERS in the state, one time
member of every team in impor-
tance in Colorado, stepped to the
plate in the eighteenth inning in
the game with Cripple Creek yes
terday, and raped out ball high
over second base, bringing in the
winning run. The final score was
S to 4.
Pitching the sort of ball that
has placed his name second to
none on the roll of twirlers, Will
lett gave an exhibition of ball
that reused the fans into frenzy;
ball that has won for him the en-
thusiastic support of lovers of the
national game wherever he has
been, and made him the most
sought after man from one end OF
the state to the other.
1t was pitchers battle from
start to finish, and Willett stood
in his box, inning after inning,
clear-headed, cool all the time,
ever watchful and alert-deliver-
ing every sort of ball known to
the profession-and Glenwood
again pledged itself to him, and
cheer after cheer proclaimed its
loyalty and it's faith in the man
who was responsible, perhaps
more than any other, for our vic
tory of yesterday.
1t was a record-breaking game,
and there was record-breaking
attendance. Eight hundred ell
thusiasts saw inning after inning
go into baseball history. Not un-
til the eighth was the score tied,
standing four and; then it was
ten more without a score.
1t is impossible to comment on
the magnificent playing of each
and every member of both teams.
For, close on Willett's heels in
the pitching line came Toner, and
the box score below will show
how well the two were matched.
Every man played as if his life
depended upon it, and from the
beginning of the first to the end
of the eighteenth, Umpire Rice
Means was con the square 1t
may be that in some cases the
players believed he was wrong in
his Judgment, but the grandstand
was satisfied, for never once did
it hoot or jeer him. This in itself
was feature of the game that
was filed with features Of every
kind. Sensational catches of balls
and men at bases-plays that
would be remarkable at any time
and were more so because of the
long time the men had been on the
field.
Each team deserves much credit
for putting up such an exhibition
II ball, and the result of today's
game, if it is played, will be
awaited with eager interest.
