give Winchester one of the best teams
in the league and the best grounds

Secretary Phillips secured the sig
nature of Reed, second baseman, of
Lawrenceburg last year, to a Win

teams were after Reed, but Winches-
ter secured his "John Hancock" first.
Reed will be remembered as one of
the fastest second basemen in the
league last year. His fielding aver
age was 964 and batting 228. Win
chester was lucky to get him.

rotary Phillips a copy of the schedule

one.

ANT|-CHOLERA SERUM
IS WANTED FOR HOGS
Commissioner of Agriculture, M. C.
Rankin C0nferS With
Prof. ScOVeII.

AS a result of a consultation held
here Wednesday between Prof. M. A
Scovell and Commissioner of Agricul-
ture M. c. Rankin, of Frankfort, the
State will be asked to supply the hog
raisers of the State with anti cholera
serum in the future in order that the
hogs may be healthier. The consul
tation was held at the Experiment
Station and after long talk with
Prof. Scovell, Mr.. Rankin left fol
Frankfort, where he promised to take
up the matter and push it is much
as possible.
The case will be taken up in de-
tail at the meeting of the State
Farmers Institute at Elizabethtown
next week. At this meeting a resO-
luton more than likely will be adopt
ed asking the State to furnish the
funds with which to carry on this
work. If the request is refused then
an arrangement probably viii be made
to get an appropriation for the be-
ginning of the work and the serum
will be furnished to the farmers al
cost price, which is said to be about
fifty cents per hog.
On account Of the present price be-
ing so nearly prohibitive it is, more
than likely that the latter course will
have tO ha rourCuad Roth Prof SoO-
veil and Mr.. Rankin state that tests
have been made with the serum
which prove it to be an absolute cure
There are no cases on record where
the serum has failed to accomplish
its purpose. The farmers in the State
are interested in the proposition
which is to be one of the features OF
the convention.

NEWCASTLE, England, Feb. IT,
A terrible disaster has occurred at
West Stanley, small mining town
u miles distant, In which it is feared
$50 lives have, been lost. There were
two explosions at o'clock yesterday
afternoon in the West Stanley col
liery, which employs 400 men. Near
ly 200 of the men were in the pit at
the time, and up to a late hour none
of them has come to the surface, al
thought rappings have been heard,
and it is supposed that these are
from some of the miners who escaped
death from the explosion and the
fire which followed.
Almost Immediately after the ex-
plOsion flames burst through the
shaft. scorching the workers at the
pit head and blowing out the fencing
and apparatus at the entrance to the
mine. The flames spread rapidly, and
it was impossible for the rescuing
party to descend into the workings.
! Thousands of anxious people gath
cred at the mouth of the pit, but for
hours the fire burned furiously.
At daylight it was still impossible
to attempt a rescue, and it will be
many hours before the entrance is
cleared.
An explosion, involving II lives,
occurred at the same colliery in
1882.

NO WOMEN WANTED IN
THIS CHURCH
(By United Press)

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 20.
A church for men, to have no
women members of the congrega-
ton, is projected by supporters of
Rev. Sidney Goodman, pastor Of
the fashionable Church of the AS
cension.
Recently the minister came in
for severe criticisms because he al
lowed his hearers to smoke during
the evening Sunday services. DR..
Goodman declared that to make
men attend church inducements
should be held out to them. He
maintained that smoking aided his
listeners to reflect and cogitate
upon the substance of his sermons.
The mems church will have club
rooms, stage for vaudeville and a
moving picture outfit.
The building will be erected after
the pastors return from Europe in
the fall.

BURGLARS STOCK UP

Ham and eggs, milk and mush-

glars bill of fare for the next
month or so, and all at the expense
of the Metropole market, S21
Sprague avenue. That place was
broken into last night and a case of
eggs, four hams, four sides of
bacon, one dozen cans each of
mushrooms, sardines, condensed
milk and a so pound can of lard
were carried away. In all the stuff
taken was worth about $40.
Entrance was gained through a
rear window after the glass had
been smashed from it, and the op-
erations of the hungry robbers,
who were perhaps stocking up for
an excursion to the halls, were wit
messed by no one so far as dis
covered.
