Fred Monnett, whospitched many of
Langdon's winning games last season
leftlast Saturday for Minneapolis, where
he will join the W~innipeg;ball team in
Its training quarters. The Northern
league OF Manitoba opens its sschedule
of games about May 18th, and Winnipeg
has been negotiating to secure Monnette
on its pitching staff since the first of the
year. Two other Langdon ball players
who did fast work on the local diamond
last summer, Floyd Watson, on first
base and Milton Reid on third and in
the catcher's box have got places on the
salary list of teams in the Manitoba
league, Watson having signed with
Lethbridge and Reid with Brandon. 1t
is to the credit of Langdon as a base
ball town to be able to produce players of
such merit hat their services are in
demand among league teams. At the
same time to lose M~onnette, Watson and
Reid from the lineup this year is certain
to cripple the team to some extent.
New players, however, will be on the
team and there is no need to fear but
what Langdon will hold its place in the
per centage column, way up at the top,
just the same as last year.

SEVENTH DIST. Is
MUCH STIRRED UP
1T Is POSSIBLE THAT CERTIFI-
CATE WILL BE AWARDED
OEHLSCHLAEGER.

No new developments appeared to-
day in the situation where clerical
errors have made changes in the
race for alderman aud for magistrate
in the Seventh district. The Repub-
leans will contest the elections, and
it is conceded that both Offices will
be given to the Republicans. 1t is
understood that the Democratic poll
ticians are willing for the election
board to grant the certificate of cleo
ton TO George Oehlschlaeger, the Re-
publican candidate for alderman,
and avoid entering the courts. How
ever, the idea of Issuing the eertifi-
cate to J. b Waltmon for magistrate
from the Seventh district Is not ac-
cepted kindly by the Democratic pol
iticians The majority admit there
Is an error, but regret to see the Re-
publicans gain control OF the fiscal
court. 81
The election of the magistrate
from the Seventh district has divided
the people of that district into two
factions Many Democrats have de-
clared that If Waltmon is counted
out they will never vote the Demo
cratic ticket again. Forty-seven
Democrats voted the Democratic
ticket and scratched for Waltmon
only, and they are sore over the al
iteration of the returns in the stub
book.

Paducah is striking her gait in a
building boom that has kept the real

The First National is ready to

the bank is only awaiting the recov-
cry from a recent illness of Archi-
tect A. L. Lassiter. who is at Ashe-
Vile, n. c., and is expected to re-
turn to his work in January.
Local parties have also closed a
deal for land where big apartment
house and family hotel will be erect

suites with bath and may have swell
restaurant in the basement.
