the Columbus Workhouse.

John Artis. who was recently re-
turned here from Sciotoville by Con-
stable James Ullom, was given a Sec
ond dose this morning when he was
arraigned before Justice C. e. Gompf
on a charge of having removed chat
tells from the county Justice Gompf
gave Artis a fine of five dollars and
costs and sentenced him to thirty days
In the workhouse.
This sentence Is in addition TO the
ten dollars and costs and thirty days

Little Folks to be Sent to
Cedar Point.
DOUBLE HEADER BALL GAME
Lodges Undertake to Fur
nish the Funds.
X. Of T.. and Elk Teams VIII Put on
Matinee TO Produce the Money
TO Give the Little Folks Days
Pleasure.

There Is strong probability that
one of the greatest baseball battles
of the age will be fought at Webb
park, next Monday afternoon, when
the seven-inning games will be play
ed by three teams from the city.
he object of the games is to raise
funds to defray the expenses of the
children In the Children's home for
days outing at Cedar Point
The two X. OF T.. Lodges and the
Elks of the city have taken the mat
ter in hand and propose to furnish
the funds for the outing. Superin-
tendent w. +. Hurr and Mrs. Hurr,
the matron at the home, have agreed
to take the children and furnish
all of the help necessary to look af-
ter them while on the point, IL the
lodges will furnish the funds The
lodges appointed committees which
held a meeting in G. ii. Conley's
office, Monday evening to discuss
the proposition. 1t was decided by
the committee that the baseball
teams of the lodges should play two
short games at the park next Mon
day afternoon; and admission fee of
twenty-five cents will be charged.
This will include the grand stand.
This will be the program should the
decision of the Joint committee be
ratified by the various lodges at their
meetings this week. The details of
the games will be left entirely to the
captains OF the teams.
Few people are aware of the fact
that king" Malarkey, the old
American pitcher, is n member of one
of the teams which will meet Mon
day and they will doubtlessly take
advantage of the opportunity to see
him back in the harness.
There are about forty-six children
In the home. These little folks are
well cared for under the manage
ment of Mr.. and Mrs. Hurr but II IL
little of pleasure which is accordSe
them. OF course they have their
play times with all of the pleasures
they afford, but to take n trip on a
train to Il real resort with its var
ious attractions has existed for them
only In dreams. The lodges purpose
TO give them real days outing, one
which they will remember until their
hair is gray
All OF the people of the city who
desire to have hand in taking these
little orphans to the lake shore for
day VIII be given the opportunity
10 purchase one or more tickets TO
the pail games, Monday afternoon.
Superintendent Hurr has asked the
privilege of bringing the children in
to witness the ball game. This will
OF course be granted so that the
children may be gwen two treats for
the price of one and the people who
patronize the game will have the
pleasure Of seeing the little folks
whom they are helping TO a days
outing.

coach on Big Four train No. "a.
while she alighted and rushed back
into the union station to get her
pocketbook which contained so cents.
Mrs. Thomas Humes, of Chicago ave-
nue.. emerged from the station pocket
book in hand to find the train pulling
out, shortly before 10 o'clock this
morning.
She emitted a terrible scream and
ran as fast as her skirts would per-
init down the passenger platform,
calling madly for someone to stop
the train. Seeing the plight of the
woman, passengers on the platforI,
put up a yell, the attention of the
engineer was attracted and the train
was stopped. The mother, crying
with JOY. and all out of breath, board
ed the coach and again clasped her
babe in her arms.
She was on her way to Caledonia
to spend a few days with relatives
After she had left the station her
pockctbook was picked up by Henry
Scoll, train caller. and turned over
to the agent to await claimant.
When she appeared in the station she
was not even required to wait until
the pocketbook was identified.

to know that the Great Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers Shows are

European carving, silver-mounted
harness and expensive new trappings

the American zoos. Ten acres of snow
white canvas cover this world of Won

to the great gilded parade tableaux,
everything is bright, new and costly.
And the company of performers is
also new. There Is none among the
$50 artists who was ever seen with a
circus In America before, This Is
now the most costly of all shows. II
has a daily expenditure of $1,000,
without taking into account the vast
amounts of money constantly spent by
its foreign offices and its brigades of
animal hunters, constantly In search
of novelties.
1t can no longer be said there Is
nothing new under the sun while the
enterprise and wealth of this big cur
Gus are playing the leading part IN the
amusement affairs of the country.
Novelty Is a most striking characters
tic of the entertainments prepared by
this splendid show. And real novel;
ties are secured from all parts of the
earth regardless of cost. New York

agement are this season presenting
under the greatest spread of canvas
ever erected,
The big show fills every nook and
corner of Madison Square garden, the

ments In America. The same parade
