FROM PHOSPHATES
LOCAL BALL TEAM TRIMMED Wis
IToRs TO TUNE OF 8 TO 2.-oN
ACADEMY FIELD.

The newly-organized ball team OF
the Phosphate City, went down in de-
feat Monday before Columbia to the
tune Of s to 2. The game was played
on the Academy grounds and this was
the first public appearance of the Co
lumbia aggregation. In fact the team
had not had a days practice, but were
there with the goods. Collins did the
twirling for Columbia and was almost
invincible. Stone presided behind
the bat with dignity and his control
of the situation was so thorough that
base runners from Mt Pleasant had
no easy time Of it. Mt Pleasant put
up three of her twirlers during the
contest, but their benders were slaugh-
tered with impartiality and frequency
by the Columbia swatsmen.

fell on him and craved him with such

Fire at about O'Clock Tuesday

DENVER, Colo, May 2S.-At Thurs
days messing of the General Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church, Pres
ident Taft, Emperor William and Pres
ident Eliot of Harvard were highly
praised for having become teetotalers
after many years. The laudation was
embodied in the temperance commit
tees report to the Assembly.
The temperance report advocated
far-reaching reforms which it is pro.
posed to achieve by memorials to con-
gress. Here are some of them:
That a receipt of revenue in any
form from the liquor traffic be diSconp
tinued.
That the federal government shall
no longer issue liquor tax receipts in
prohibition territory.
That interstate shipments of liquor
be discontinued.
That a prohibitory zone twenty-five
miles in width be established around
every Indian reservation.
That the mails be closed to the adj
vertising or the distribution of liquor.
The report was read and commented
on by DR.. Luther A Ostrander, d. d.
of New York.
The report commended one frater"
nal order, heretofore noted for its
convivial membership, for its action
in disseminating the sale OF or drink
ing of liquor about the lodge prem"
ises."
Newspapers which carry liquor adj
vertising fell under the ban of the AS"
sembly, 1t being recommended thas
such papers not be patronized."
Social drinking" also received q
setback when it was urged that the
women's societies of the church make
war on this evil and make 1t their
business to fight the use of liquor ia

present, would be adopted. The as
sembly took up the report of the com.
mittee on representation, which has
for it's purpose the reduction OF mem.
bership in the Assembly. The report
was presented by DR.. Nichols, but
owing to the lack of time, was laid
over. The report of the committee ON
church erection also was presented.
Gov. John F. Shofroth welcomed
the commissioners to Denver. Mayor
Speer also spoke. Addresses were
made by prominent ministers on the

INEZ, KY, June 2.-Forced by
mysterious woman, who revolver in
hand, entered his home, Jasper Crum
left here Tuesday night and disap-
peared His wife is now rav1ng
maniac. and his FIVE small children
are left to the charity Of the neigh
bors.
About 8 O'Clock Tuesday night the
strange woman went to the home OF
Crum, who is farmer, living on Big
Elk Greek, FIVE miles east of here, and
asked to stop over night. Crum, who
was with his wife In another room,
told his oldest son, 8 years of age, to
open the door.
The woman sprang into the room
where Mr.. Crum was preparing to get
out of bed and, covering him with an
automatic Colts pistol, said:
Il am the woman with whom you
have been corresponding and whom
you promised by letter to marry
twelve years ago. / have come to see
that you keep your word with me-"
Crum was slow to get out of bed,
and with the pistol in one hand she
seized him by the ankle with the other,
dragging him from the side of his
wife, telling him to dress himself and
get ready to go with her.
Crum, who weighs 1913 pounds, see
ing he was up against it, took the wo-
man at her word, and amid the glim-
mer of the moonlight said goodbye to
his wife and started. He was forced
to 60 in front of the woman.
Mrs. Crum, whose mind broke down
under the mental excitement, 10 still
a raging maniac at the home Of Crum's
brother, Eli Crum, living near Crum
Station, on the Norfolk and Western
railroad.
Crum has five brothers living in this
county, all of whom have gone in
search Of their brother, whom they
believe to have been slain by the wo-
man. They started toward Warneld
and were compelled to travel a dis
lance Of four miles through virgin
forest.
kilograms are being sent in every
direction, but as yet no news has been
received as to their whereabouts.
The woman, who got off the train
at Crum Station and walked dis
lance of eight miles, carrying heavy
dress-suit case, inquired of all the
neighbors along the highway as to
where Crum lived. She Is said to be
a strong, muscular woman, brunette
and good-looking.
There is nothing among Mr. Crum's
papers to show that he had been cor
responding with woman. On being
asked if she was related to Crum, she
said she was, but did not desire to re-
veal her name, as she had not seen
him for several years and wanted to
see If Crum would recognize her.

ominently-connected families In the
Big Sandy Valley, and the mysterious
occurrence has thrown the entire COM
munity into furry of excitement

WASHINGTON, June 2.-After in
effect receiving information from
Chairman Aldrich that beginning with
today. it would be expected to hold
night sessions for the consideration Of
the tariff bill, the Senate Tuesday be-
gan consideration of the cotton cloth
schedule. This portion has been
passed over upon the first reading
with the understanding that many
amendments to it would be offered,
and that much time would be neces-
sary for its discussion. The first day
did not fall short of justification OF
this supposition.
There were not many speeches, but
those made were of considerable
length, Senators Smoot and Lodge,
both majority members OF the Finance
Committee, were the original orators,
and both spoke in support OF the COM
mittee provisions. The Utah Senator
entered upon a technical presentation
of the entire subject, reaching the con-
clusion that the Senate bill does not,
in reality. increase the duties con-
templated by the DlngIey law. He
undertook, however, to show that by
the various rulings of the customs au-
thorities, these duties had been re-
duced to the extent of an average OF
20 per cent
Senator Lodge gave especial atten-
ton to the cotton schedule, but incl
dentally, spoke of the general policy
of the Republican party with reference
to the subject of the tariff revision.
He contended that there had been no
intention of revising the tariff down.
ward, but that the purpose OF the
party had been merely so to revise
the tariff as to protect American man
ufacturers against cheap foreign Ia
Dor. He declared that New England
factories were returning only small
dividends to their owners.
Early in the day Senator Dolliver
took exception to a remark by Sena-
tor Aldrich. The Iowa Senator had
offered an amendment to the cotton
schedule providing for ad valorem
rather than specific duties, whereupon
Mr.. Aldrich made incidental reference
to Senators who come here with I'M
porters' briefs" Mr.. Dolliver made
sharp reply, but when Mr.. Aldrich ex'
planned that he had not meant any
reflection, calm was restored and bust
ness proceeded with serenity.
Later, the Senator from Iowa said
reflections upon his course had come
from behind the doors Of the Finance
Committee. This was said in response
to defense by Senator Root Of the
Board of General Appraisers, to which
reference had been made by Mr.. Dol
liver.
The House was in session only thir-
teen minutes, adjourning until Thurs
day without transacting any business.

HAD OVERHEARD The PLOT
Judoe is Wrought Up and May Send
others to the Tombs-Notifies Je-

MAY Escape.

NEW YORK, June George Bag
lin. second vice president of the Unit
Cd Copper Company and F. Augustus
Heinze's private secretary, was clap
ned into the Tombs in short order.
tuesday afternoon for contempt OF
court by Judge Lacombe after Baglin
had testified before the federal grand
iury that he had overheard plan be-
ing discussed for the removal Of some
of the books of the United Copper
Company from the company's Offices
in two trunks on Wednesday, May
10 while they were under inves-
tigation by the government and had
made no effort to stop such removal.
At the time the removal of the
books was being planned Baglin, an
officer of the company, knew they
we're under subpoena. Despite his
pIea that he did not have charge OF
the books, he was headed for the
Tombs in ten minutes after United
States District Attorney Wise had re-
ported his testimony to the court in
the presence OF the members OF the
grand jury.
The missing books were not pro
duced Tuesday, but there were other
interesting developments in the case
outside of the removal of Balgin to
hil In his testimony Balgin said that
those whom he had overheard dis
cussing the removal of the books were
Arthur Heinze, brother Of :. Heinze,
now under indictment for over certf
flying and misapplying funds OF the
Mercantile Bank; Sanford Robinson,
director Of the company; Tracy Buck
ingham, the transfer clerk who has
Ned to Canada, and the other man.
Upon this testimony Mr.. Robinson
was ordered before the grand jury az
soon as Mr.. Balgin was disposed OF,
but Mr.. Robinson refused to testify
on the ground that not only he but
Arthur Heinze were members Of the
bar and attorneys for the company
and the conversation was therefore
privileged.
Judge Lacombe seemed on the point
Of sending Mr.. Robinson after Bag
lin, but he agreed to wait until today,
when, he said, if the grand jury min
utes showed the testimony to be as
reported by Mr.. Wise he would COM
nit him for contempt.
Judge Lacombe was so aroused by
the developments growing out Of the
hunt for the missing books that he
practically ordered the United States
Attorney to bring the matter at once
to the attention of District Attorney
Jerome.
1t is a crime under the statutes OF
the state to do away with any books
wanted in court investigation.
While some OF the directors have
satisfied the court apparently that
they had no hand in the removal OF
the books and tried their best to find
out where they are, any further efforts
these directors might attempt to make
are likely to be stopped by their being
shorn of all powers at the annual
meeting of the company to be held to-
morrow afternoon, when Heinze, who
Is believed to control the company, is
to elect q new board.

Easy to Mix This.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, which is said to be a
positive remedy for backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after each meal and
again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescription,
stated that the ingredients are all harm
less. and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up if asked
to do so. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatic Affections with splendid re-
suits, he could see no reason why it
would not be a splendid remedy for kid
ney and urinary troubles and backache,
as it has peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most i'm
portant organs and helping them to slit
and filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake in giving it a
trial.

These have fat Japanese tops with
numerous ribs, as many as 16 being
used in a single sunshade of black and
white silk. Other parasols in the same
style are of natural colored pongee with
the ribs extending beyond the edge of the
silk and each one tipped with vegetable
ivory. An ivory ring is on the handle to
run over the ivory tips of the ribs and
hold them together when the parasol is
closed. Very dressy parasols of more
conventional shape are made of white

especially lovely little umbrella suitable
for garden parties, college commence

Left to Nancy HankS-and God.

What would modern educational ex.
perts have made of Lincoln if, as baby,
he had been put in their care? They
would probably have started him on
sterilized milk, clothed him in disinfected
garments, sent him to kindergarten
where he would have learned to weave
straw mats and sing about the Blue
Bird on the Branch" Then the dentist
would have Strengthened his teeth, the
oculist would have fitted him with
glasses, and in the primary grade he
would have been taught by pictures and
diagrams the difference between a cow
and pig, and. through Nature study he
would have learned that the at.bird did
not lay kittens. By the time he was
eight he would have become young
gentlemen" at 10 he would know more
than the old folks at home; at ~ or IA
he would take up manual training, and
within two years make rolling pin and
tie it with a blue ribbon. In the high
school at 16, where in four years he
would learn that Mars was the reputed
son of Juno, and to recite stanza from
"The Lady of the Lake" Then to COL
lege, where he would have joined the glee
club and Greek letter fraternity, smoked
cigarettes and graduated, and then be-
come a clerk in a bankers office; and
never, never do anyone any harm! Well
-perhaps-we don't know and can't tell
what might have been, but we can't
help feeling thankful that Lincoln's train
ing and education were left to Nancy
Hanks-and Cod Universalist Leader.

A nervous young minister, in visiting a

perience. The old lady at whose house
he stayed, in showing him to his room,

on these pillows, and poor Mr.. jerks

own father died layin' right on that
lounge right under the window there.
Poor pa, he was a spiritualist, and he
allus said he'd appear in this room after
he died, and sometimes l am foolish
enough to look for him. If you should
see anything of him tonight, you'd bet

that there was something in spiritualism,
and I'd hate to think that. My son by

doctor, and there's two whole skeletons
in that closet there belonged to him,
and half dozen skulls in that lower
