DYNAMITE sUPERsTITIONs.

A little knowledge is a dangerous
thing to the man who handles dyna-
mite. Italian 1aborers who never
read up on explosives and have no
superstitions about them seldom are
injured through any faulty handling
of their own. If your dynamite
freezes, thaw it out. If you drop an
armful of it on the ground all you
have to do is to pick it up.
Some Italian laborers were digging
well. They got down about dozen
feet and struck rock. The foreman
improvised a ladder, drilled hole
and inserted half pound of dyna.

and scrambled up the ladder. Before
he reached the surface his makeshift

HUNTREss KILLS TWO BEARS.

HUNTRESS KILLS TWO BEARS.
Col. Max Fleischmann, the young
millionaire distil1er, and Mrs Fleisch-
mann have returned to Cincinnati,
Ohio, from hunting trip to Behring
Sea coast.
1--WE hunted on the Admiralty
Islands and the Barros Islands," said
Col. Fleischmann to-day. "The game
laws prohibited us from taking any
thing but bears, but we got six Of
these, Mrs. Fleischmann killing two,
one grizzly. We had to hunt early
in the morning and late at night, and

very prosaic. Most stories of thrill

To this day I do not know how I

lying on the ledge, on the side I had

some part of my clothing, covered

lay for an hour with trembling knees,

HEIRESS TO WE'D HERO.

With the announcement that Miss
Mary M. Grain, an heiress of Fond du
Lac, Wis, has married Henry F.
Sheridan, city building inspector, is
made public a pretty little romance
beginning when Mr.. Sheridan saved
Miss Grain from a cattle stampede at
the Stock Yards two years ago.
Miss Grain is the daughter cf Mark
Grain, banker, of Eldorado, Wis,
and after his death a few years ago
she went to live with a wealthy
uncle, Thomas Kelly, at Fond du Lac.
With her uncle and other relatives
she came to Chicago in August, 1907,
for visit. AS the party was making
the rounds of the yards Miss Grain
became separated from the others
for few moments. She was stand
ing in the middle of a street when a
herd Of cattle which had broken out
of a pen came dashing madly down
the narrow thoroughfare.
Apparently paralyzed by fear, Miss
Grain was unable to move and her
death seemed certain. AS the mad
dened animals were almost upon her
Sheridan, who was at the yards on
business, rushed into the street,
grasped Miss Grain about the waist
and carried her to safety.

A VEGETARIAN DIET.

Apart from any other question, Is
it any wonder that SO many people ex-
clude meat for Faust Brand Spaghetti,
considering how well it nourishes
without producing that uncomfortable
after dinner" feeling. without over
heating the body, and at cost that
seems mere nothing when compared
with the price of meat.
Any day-every day-once day or
twice a day--for grown folks and
growing folks-indoor people and out
door people strong digestions and
weak digestions-brain workers and
body workers-there's no other one
food that begins to be like Faust
Brand Spaghetti And how indescrib-
ably good 1t is This time as steaming
brown baked spaghetti, next time with
eggs, today as side dish. tomorrow

John Hall for President.

John Hall for President.
John Hall. of Quincy. H., is being
boosted for president of the Three
Eye league. He is very well known
throughout this section by baseball
men and is well versed in condition
of the leagues in this part of the coun-
try. Speaking of Mr.. Hall as likely
candidate, the Quincy Herald says:
At the last meeting of the Three
Eye league in Chicago. Mike Sexton
refused to be candidate for re-elec-
ton. Since then the league has been
looking around for suitable man to
fill this responsible position Sew
eral names have been mentioned in
connection with the matter, but none
meet the requirements. The Chicago
Tribune yesterday spoke very highly
of John A. Hall of this city, as the
man for the place. Mr.. Hall, when
seen regarding the matter TITS morn
ing, stated that it came as surprise
to him and that he had not an
nounced himself as candidate. Mr..
Hall is one of the ablest baseball
men in this section of the country,
and would make an excellent man
for the position. He has followed
the game for many years as a writer,
official scorer, umpire and chief of
official scorers of several leagues
and as compiler of records and sta
tistics. He is making life study of
baseball and is an authority. For
several years he has been secretary
of the Central Association and
through this connection as right
hand man of the president he has
been enabled to familiarize himself
with all the details of the technical
points of the game and the manage
ment Of this league. He is president
of the Sport Writers association OF
the Central Association and is prov
ing himself a man of marked execu-
tive ability in the management of it's
affairs
For the past two years Mr.. Hall
has had charge Of all the official
scores of the Central Association and
the I'M. league and since he has TAX
en- hold of this important depart
ment of the game in these two
leagues there has been notable pro-
gress in the improvement of the
work. This past year he compiled
and issued monthly averages in three
different leagues and noteworthy
fact in connection with this was that
the averages were out within one
week after the close of the month.
While in Memphis Mr.. Hall vii.
meet all the directors of the Three
Eye league and 1t would not surprise
his friends if he should return With
the assurance that he had been Sc
lected for this position. One thins,
the directors of this league are very
particular about is to get man who
rs not interested in any one of the
eight clubs, yet centrally located. Mr..
Hall would fill these requirements
and the directors will not be able to
find man better qualified for the
position than he.

NOTHING TO It
But MONMOUTH
city If Favored for Central Associa-
ton Berth and Representatives
Were in keokuk
Yesterday.
TALK OF ADVANTAGES
Feel Confident That Central Associa-
tlon Needs Monmouth and
Monmouth Need the
Association.

A. G.. Brown and S. S. Hallam, in
Ill, who have been identified with
baseball in that city for several years
past, and want to see the vacant Cen-
trail Association berth come their
way, were In neokuk yesterday at
ternoon visiting with local baseball
directors and stirring up favoritism.
They came to Keokuk from Hannibal
and Quincy and in leaving went to
Ottumwa, after which time they will
visit other Central Association cities.
The vote Is to be taken within the
next two weeks and it is predicted
that Monmouth will be the lucky city.
Messrs. Brown and Hallam advance
many reasons why Monmouth shonld
be considered and taken into the
league in preference to the other three
cities, and their reasons seem to be
very good ones. They say:
Monmouth will give the Central
Association one of the most compact
circuits among minor leagues of the
country.
Monmouth will guarantee $4,000
admissions during the season without
Sunday baseball, the figure being the
attendance mark required by the
league. Also with Sunday ball the
figure would be at least 10000 higher.
The city is in the heart of a pro-
ductive interurban belt and much of
the travelling by the teams could be
done via this cheap route.
There is an intense baseball rivai-y
between Monmouth and Galesburg
and the admission of the former would
increase the value of the latter to
the association.
The city has had but two years OF
organized ball and is a coming base.
ball city, with a growing population.
which at the present time and accord
ing to the census just published is
over 10000
"The fact that no Sunday ball may
be played is of advantage to the other
cities, as Monmouth would draw ex-
ceptionally well during the week and
the other seven clubs would be given
the extra Sundays at home
Higher Class Discussed.
The two gentlemen touched upon
the advantages and disadvantages of
having the Central Association adj
vanced to a higher class league.
Should Monmouth be admitted it is
doubtful If the association would be
advanced to a higher class because
of the population requirement. How
ever, should Cedar Rapids be taken
population of the eight cities would
over-reach the requirement and the
league advanced The one great ad-
vantage in this according to the gen
tlemen is the fact that the draft price
would be 5000 more than at the pres
ent time Figuring two players
drafted from each club at the end OF
the season this would mean $500 in
each clubs treasury. However, they
state that the money saved by having
Monmouth in the league, by railroad
fare, alone, would more than over
balance this.
Both gentlemen are making the
present tour in the interest of base
ball in Monmouth and it shows the
fighting spirit of the city. Baseball
seems to have taken a firm hold OF
the business element and they look

lOPecIdt DIpdtch 10 he Call
Los ANGELES, Feb 26.-An odor
similar to that caused by the Burns
O'Brien fiasco two years ago was
aroused in sporting circles tonight
when Referee Tommy Walsh declared
all bets on the Wolgast-Little fight off,
because, as he declared. wolgast had
told Walsh that he intended to lose to
Little on a foul and clean up big sum
by betting on Little. who was 2 to
favorite. After the bets had been de-
clared off Wolgast had been persuaded
fought like demon, knocking Little
out in the fourth round.
This affair marred the reopening of
the Jeffries club, where the bout was
staged. There was a big attendance
and betting had been brisk. Just as
the gong called the men from their cor
ners Referee Walsh declared bets off.
Wolgast angrily demanded the reason
and returned to his corner. Little,
meanwhile. was advancing to the cen
ter of the ring and finally Wolgast was
persuaded to fight.
Little was outclassed and after sizing
his man up for three rounds WolgasI
stung by sharp uppercut, rushed in
and with terrific right and left swings
to the stomach and jaw broke through
Little's guard. Little dropped to the
mat and lay writhing. He was counted
out and had to be assisted to his cor
ner.
Referee Walsh. in explaining his ac-
tion, said

he needed more money. He then told

he persisted, and said he would make
it right with me. I told Manager Long

WoIgast denies Walshs statements.
He says if he wanted to frame up the
fight he would not have gone to the
referee with his plans. The fact that

temporary refusal to fight after bets
