SECOND GAME
Mondays game was what might we'll
be called one man game, for Beltz was
the whole show. He struck out ten
Redsox batsmen, allowed three hits,
two OF which were mere scratches, and
allowed only one man to reach third
base. With men on bases he was
simply unhittable, and at that he never
exerted himself or got into hole where
he had to pitch ball. 1t was always
the batter who was on the defensive,
and this is one OF the surest marks Of q
great pitcher. Beltz has held some
good Jobs in the past and lost them, it
is said, through his habit Of looking on
the wine when he can no longer cor
rectly Judge its color. II he can curb
himself in this respect he is good
enough for the class A leagues.
With very natural confidence in their
twirler Ssrcoxie frightened up and play.
ed better ball behind him than on the
previous day. At the bat they didn't
pestle Thompson very frequently, but
their raps came when needed and every
one OF their FIVE runs was directly or in.
directly the result Of hit. Second
Baseman Joe Henry won everlasting
fame by lamming the ball for the long
est hit ever seen on Jasper diamond,
1t was a beauty drive far over Hicks
head in left, and on good grounds
would have been homer. BY fast
work Hicks held him to third.

Another trouble has been added to

Wills had TO come to Richmond on

of the drug store. About noon the
man opened the cash drawer no one
being in the store at the time, and
helped himself to everything that was
in it. This amount is estimated be-
tween s15 and $500.
After securing the money, Lease

At Least w. F. Rost Seems to
Think So and Has Dis
missed Divorce Action.
COUPLES MANY TROUBLES.

William F.. Rost and his better half,
Mary A. Rost, have decided that wed
lock may have its disadvantages, but
that it is whole lot better than sin
gle blessedness. This morning at the
plaintiffs S request. his divorce action
was dismissed in the circuit court
Mrs. Rost owns a fine farm in this
county but she and her husband have
been having a hard time living to-
gether, it seems. Several weeks ago
ROSt packed his clothes and came to
Richmond where he instigated di-
vOrce action. After doing this he
went to Preble county. O., and OBJ
tanned employment as a farm hand.
Just short time ago, Mrs. ROst
learned of the whereabouts of her
missing hubby and she immediately
went after him. When she found him
he was working in the field. Without
waste of time she told him she was
tired of living alone and wanted him
to come back home with her. Rost
heaved a sigh and returned TO the old
homestead.
III his divorce complaint Rost
charged his wife with cruel and in.
human treatment. He said that she
cursed him and threw things at him
\ few months ago Mrs. Rost had her
husband arrested on charge OF
drawing revolver on her.
The divorce case of Eliza A. Tull
against Hiram W. Tull was also dis
missed today.

Independent and Union Ice
Companies Have Merged
interests and Announce
Plans for the Future.
ACTION NOT UNLOCKED
FOR BY THE PATRONS.
Predicted Two Weeks Ago
That Merger Would Be e.
fected Appraisements of
Property Made Today.

On March J. b. 3. Johnson. proprie-
tor of the Independent Ice & Fuel Co.,
and George Rettig, proprietor OF the
Union Ice company, will merge inter-
ests under the name of the Richmond
Ice Delivery Co. The announcement
that the only two ice companies in the
city have formed a combine comes on
top of an announcement made about
two weeks ago that the price of ice
had been advanced.
1t was learned today that the ice
combine was formed at the time the
two companies held a joint meeting
and decided to advance the price of
ice to a sliding scale of from - to
30 cents per hundred pounds. Former
ly the price of ice was on a sliding
scale, varying from 1212 cents to 80
cents per hundred pounds.
Appraisements of the property own
ed by both the Union and the Inde-
pendent ice companies are being made
today. Under the terms of the
agreement entered into by Mr.. Rettig
and Mr.. Johnson the combine is to
continue for a period of ten years
One of the first acts of the ice com
bine will be to compel every consum-
er in the city to purchase coupon
books. This action does not meet
with the approval of the meat dealers,
grOcers, hotel keepers and other
heavy consumers. They have in the
past been paying by the week or cash
for each consignment of ice receiv-
ed.
The ice combine will control four
ponds and two artificial ice plants.
Both of these plants will be kept in
operation as the supply of natural ice
this year promises to be very scarce.
The Union Ice company has three
ponds while the Independent company
has one.

that they would read to the effect that

What Taggart read was a decision
of circuit judge in which it was rul-
ed that if an elective officer did not
stipuate the time his resignation was
TO take effect he had the authority to
withdraw 1t. He then read his resig-
any clause as to the time it was to

Mr.. Study was the one made by the
supreme court of Indiana on the rul-
ing referred TO by Taggart. This rul-
ing of the supreme court set aside the

MERclAI CO

San Francisco, Oct. 6.-The Trans
Mississippi Commercial Congress,
with a thousand or more delegates
from the Western half OF the United
States attending, began a five days
citing here today with a display of
enthusiasm by the delegates that ar
CUES well for a successful and inter
esting session.
The Temporary Chairman, J.. B.
Case, of Abilene, Kan, called the del
egates to order and in his opening
remarks pointed the way for the many
prominent speakers who are to fol-
low him, delivering at some length
an address on the vast work there is
to be done in the West in the way Of
the conservation of the natural re-
sources and the expansion Of the
present industries to a far wider
scope than yet attempted.
Among the delegates were repre-
~sentatives from Is states, 4 territor-
les and 6 foreign countries, while the
National Government is represented
by "A. R. Wheeler, assistant secretary
of the Bureau Of Commerce and Lab
or.
The opening session was one purely
of organization. Thomas F. Walsh, of
Colorado, Col. Ike T. Pryor, of San
Antonio, Tex, and Col. Fred w. Elem
ing, of Missouri, are the strongest
candidates for presidential nomina-
tons. Omaha and Denver are making
a fight for the lext meeting place but
the report that Galveston is a can
didate is denied by Senator Harris
that city.
