OVERFLOW LOCALS.

The board Of education yesterday
elected Miss Grace Cunningham to
fill the only vacancy on the roll OF
teachers for the coming schoolsyear,
that of third grade. Miss Cunning
ham has been teaching in what is
known as the VIM district and has
made a good record in this county.
Supt. Mosher intends to leave here
today or tomorrow, and after a
short visit to his home at Zumbrota
will take up his land agency work
in Canada, which he says will be his
vacation this summer. We expect
the professor to win at this as he
has at his various lecture promoting
enterprises here.
The Misses Peabody are entertain

Clausen, Chelgren, Leubner and

city. Miss Short goes to Minneapo-
lis today, to assist in marking exam
nation papers for short time,
when she will proceed to her home
at Beloit, followed by the best
wishes of many citizens.
Sheriff Schueller followed up a
young incorrigible named Carr the
first of this week. who is charged
with stealing $40 from companion
named Alderman, at Kuck & Pratt's
livery. The young man was lodged
in Jail, pending his examination. A
series of petty thefts in this city
have made necessary vigorous pro-
secution of the parties responsible
for them. Last week one A. L.
Upper was arrested for petty thiev-
ing, his case being first set for Sat-
urday, the 9Th, and subsequently
postponed to the 18th. Carr was to
be brought before Judge Laudon
yesterday afternoon.
In municipal court yesterday.
Judge Laudon had occasion to call
the turn in a case of a go-between
furnishing intoxicants to black
listed person, and we are sorry that
the bolt fell on James Doyle, who
plead guilty to furnishing bottle
of gin to Doc Golden, who is on the
prohibited list. A fine of $50 was
imposed, and paid by Doyle, who
earns his money as rule by hard
labor. The lesson ought to be suf-
ficient warning of what is in store
for offenses of this kind.

PROTECTION FOR BEEF TRUST.
People Who Buy Shoes Pay the Duty
and Beef Trust Profits.

Retail shoe dealers have been get
ting the following circular enjoining
them to get busy or suffer the con-
sequences in the way of increased
cost for their stock in trade, and
asking them to lay the matter before
the people and their senators. Min
nesota senators are known to be all
right on this point, but farmers are
liable to assume that the removal of
the tariff will injuriously affect their
interest, hence we give space to the
circular:
your senatorsat Washington need
a reminder from you about the tar
if on hides; you'll be sorry if you
let the matter go until the vote is
taken in June, and you find that the
duty of Is per cent on hides is kept
there. The lobbyists for the packers
are telling your senators the old
story that the duty on hides helps
the farmers and cattle raisers; and
many senators are apparently in
doubt. The packers seem to be SO
confident that the senate will vote to
put the duty on hides, taken off by
the House, that the price of hides
has now been raised to the highest
point in the history of the business.
We want you to understand that if
this duty Oh hides continues, you'll

interests and business interests of
the country require free hides; that
a monopoly of the shoe and leather
business by the packer is a serious
menace to the shoe industry. Do it;
it's little thing for you to do; it
may help carry the day.
You may be confronted with the
stat ement that any benefit gained by
putting hides on the free list will go
entirely to the manufacturers, job
bers and retailers of shoes as an ex-
ira profit.
1.-The facts are: The consumer is
paying SO cents a pair more for shoes
today than he did in 1896 when the
duty was put on hides. This so cents
will not be Immediately removed by
taking off this duty. 1t took ten
or twelve years to make this increase
and it can't come off in a minute.
The important point is this: If the
duty on hides is removed shoes may
not be Immediately lower-priced, but
if it is not removed, shoes will be al
most Immediately higher-priced.
You'll be paying Is or 20 cents more
for shoes than you ever paid before,
if that duty lasts much longer. May
be you don't care; we do.

the most pleasant surprises of his life
yesterday afternoon, when Stanley
made him a present of $500 and told
him to go back to Michigan, his home,

The great middle weight adopted a
unique method of making the present.
He wanted to take the elder Ketchel
by surprise, and certainly accomplished
it. In the bar of the st. Francis he
stacked up rows of $40 gold pieces
until he had $500 in gold on the
table. His father and brother Leon,
who had been in the lobby, were led to
the money and the. old gentleman
looked in amazement at the glittering
gold.

The generous act of his son seemed
to affect the elder Ketchel. He gath
cred up the gold in a sack and depos-
tied it with the clerk of the hotel, who
in turn gave check on Manager

Harry LOchhead, Noted Ball
Player, Is Dead
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

STOCKTON, Aug. 23.-Harry Loeb
head has famed for good. The old
time Stockton baseball player passed
away at his mothers home, 929 North
San joaquin street, yesterday. He had
been falling in health for year. About
month ago, while on a desert near
Bakersfield, he and party of friends
became lost. The exposure in the hot
sun greatly aggravated his condition
and he returned to his home here. He
rapidly grew worse until death.
He was born in Stockton March IS,
1875, and developed a fondness for the
great American game at an early ge.
His performances on the local sand
lots attracted the attention of George
Campbell when the well known Stock
tonian was managing the old Califor-
MIA league during the early nineties.
Lochhead signed his first contract with
Campbell and played short for Stock
ton.
From this city he went to Saera-
mento. where he played short for the
Gilt Edges, under the management of
Ed Kripp. He also played here under
the regime of George Harper as man
ager.
It was during the fall of 1899 that he
signed a contract with the St Louis
Americans. He reported in major
league company in the spring of 1900,
but was transferred TO Cleveland by a.
d. Robinson, who owned both the st.
Louis and Cleveland clubs. He finished
the season with Cleveland and the next
year was "farmed." Lochhead played
the season of 1901 with clubs in the
minor leagues in the east.
After playing several seasons in the
Texas league with Beaumont lie grew
heavy and took up the Indicator. meet

umpire.
In addition to his mother he left two

Enter Protests
Against Big
League Umpires
Managers of Clubs Accuse Silk
O'LoughIin and RigIer of
Unfair Decisions
Ha05o~ A10Io :

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Protests
against two major league umpires have
been made, and Investigations may fol-
low. Manager Stallings of the New
York American league team has wired
President f. j. Farrell of his club that
Umpire Silk" O'Loughlin is prejudiced
against his team and that in yester-
days game in Chicago he deprived the
New Yorks of a victory by decision
which was pronounced manifestly un-
fair by Chicago critics and fans"
Farrell says he will take the matter
up with President Ban Johnson and
protest against OLoughlin being as
signed to umpire any more games
played by the New York team.
Clark Griffith, manager of the Gin
cinnati club of the National lague, has
registered a protest against Umpire
Rigler and his decisions at the Polo
grounds Saturday. Griffith has tele-
graphed President Garry Hermann of
the Cincinnati club that Rigler defeated
the Cincinnati team when he declared
Packert out at the plate after Myers
had dropped thrown ball, and also
when the umpire called Higgins out
on strikes.
