Great Is the Game Of Base Ball.

Within few more week. baseball,
the ruling national sport in America,
will be in full sway. Small boys will
be no less vitality interested than full
grown men. The newspapers will
tenn with the gossip of the training
camp. Enthusiasts will crowd the
cigar stands and tanning headquar-
ters. The enormous grandstands and
bleachers the country over will be
crowded with the countless thousands
who pay toll to the national pastime
that has become a powerful. expen-

phone companies will reap a rich har-
vest conveying news of the games to
multitudes crowding around bulletin
boards. Police and militia will be
called to prevent riots. The calm rou-

be broken and business suspended by
the enthralling interest in inter-city
races for the championship pennants.

MAY MAKE CONTEST
Columbus, Ind, Saloon Men
Say Election There Was
Not Legal.
BLAME VOTING MACHINES

Columbus, Ind, April 3.-The sa.
practically made up their minds to
contest the result of the local option
election her Tuesday, when the
county voted dry. In view of the fact
that 1859 men who were supposed to
have registered their votes one way
or the other did not vote in the prop.
err manner and the votes were thrown
out. the saloon men will probably pro.
coed on the theory that the election
was illegal. 1t is probable that they
will attack the legality of the voting
machines and declare that they were
not working properly on the day OF
the election.

real character in Harriet Beecher
Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin" and
heard her tell her story OF leaving her
master. because he wanted to sell her
child. but who other than that, was a
good master that she loved.
AS she told the story she fled just
after the darkness had fallen. starting
towards the Ohio river on q long. tire
some journey with her babe in heI
arms. She thought the river would
be frozen over at that time of year. &c
she could cross on the ice. but when
she reached the banks of the great
river. the ice had broken and was
floating. She felt like she was beaten
but she did not give up. SO she went
to a house not far distant and told
them her pitiful story, and they sym
pathized with her and gave her hid
ing place and food. She remained
there all day, hoping that some way OF
crossing the river would present itself
but instead of that the ice broke up
more. She saw and heard party OF
pursuers approaching the house in
which she was concealed. They had
hound with them and there seemed nc
possible way of escape. She dashed
out of the back door OF the house and
again reached the river banks. She
saw the ice rushing and grinding
err way of possible escape, as the dogs
and men were close behind her. She
decided she would rather drown than
be separated from her baby. SO she
plunged onto the whirling. rushing ice
at the same time putting her faith in
Gods hands. She jumped from cake
to cake. falling into the water several
times. but got to the other shore safely
She was aided by the Rev. William La
cey, brother of Major NJ. NJ. Lacey OF
this city. who had been a witness to
the daring journey across the ice. He
helped her to a nearby house. from
where she was soon taken by the I'm.

Newport not long afterward and she
stayed several days with the kind old
quakers at this station.
