CITY *basfbHI|h0
Worlds Series Is Sole Topic
of Conversation.

II the interest shown by hundreds
of local baseball fans in the worlds
championship series between the New
York Nationals and the Philadelphia
Americans can be taken as a criterion
the fans of New York and Philadelphia
must be raving maniacs.
Saturday hundreds surrounded the
tickers in this city. gazed at the Pal
ladium score board and kept the tele-
phones of this Office hot with inquiries
on the latest results of the first game,
and the Palladium baseball edition,
with full account of the game, on
the streets twenty minutes after the
last play in the ninth inning, sold like
hot cakes. The quick service given
by the Palladium Saturday, and which
will be continued until the series is
concluded, was made possible by the
fact that this paper receives its report
on wire that leads directly into Shi-
be park at Philadelphia and the Polo
grounds in New York. Accounts of the
game are wired play by play.
If you doubt the statement made
intensely interested in the Worlds se-
ries, harken to this frank confession

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. i6.-The Pro.
gressive Republican conference in this
city promises to be the big event OF
the week in the world of politics. AL.
ready number of the progressive

NEFF MUCH PLEASED
With Work at High School
First Month.

The most successful opening in the
history of the school is the opinion of
Isaac E. Neff, principal of the local
high school, after examining the re-
ports of the several teachers for the
first month of school, which ended last
Friday afternoon. Little complaint has
been registered regarding the quality
of work done by the students, and the
pupils, as while, have been regular
in both attendance and preparation of
their lessons.
The report shows an enrolment in
the school of SAG, noticeable increase
over last year. The per cent of attend
ance every day during the month was
9s6 per cent, which breaks all rec
ords in Richmond schools, and almost
equals the best in the state. There has
been but little sickness SO far, and
truancies and other avoidable absences
are about at a minimum.
Principal Neff is elated over the
showing made in the class rooms this
fall. The pupils are getting down to
work, and hardly any complaint of
poor preparation of lessons has been
noted.

of Cincinnati appeared at the mar
riage license window in the office of
Country clerk George Matthews and
received license to wed.
She wore shawl about her head

mony tears came to her eyes as she re-
lated the wrongs Of her second hus-
band George Matthews. Her first hus.
band died several years ago. She had
the sympathy of the court attaches
and they declared they thought she
deserved a divorce if any woman ever
did.
However, later, in the clerks office,
the sombre, careworn look of the wo-
man was gone, replaced with a smile
of bride. She was showily dress
ed and anyone who had seen her as
she was attired in the court hardly
recognized her when she appeared at

occupation that of housekeeper. Frank
Krieg, the groom, is a farmer, living

filed. The second divorce proceed.

JUDGE TAKES NOTES.

Judge Bordwell, who listened with
the utmost care to the argument and
who has taken copious notes, has
spent much of the time since Satur-
days adjournment in going over the
contentious of the attorneys. 1t was
believed by lawyers on both sides that
he had spent so much time on the
question that he would be able to hand
down his ruling soon after Scott had
finished.
That the argument has assumed a
vital Importance to the trial and that
Judge Bordwell's opinion will decide
whether the jury can be selected with
comparative ease, or whether it may
be made almost an impossibility was
admitted both by the state and the
defense. The state, which has argued
the right of Nelson to serve in spite Of
the fact that he has expressed a be-
lief that the building was destroyed
by an intentional explosion of dyna-
mite has not concealed the fact that
should the ruling be in their favor they
might be caught in their own trap.
Both sides, it is known, have careful
ly Investigated the record of the We
and it is asserted that some of these
men have definite opinions which
would favor the defense. Should the
ruling allow Nelson to serve, it would
also allow some of the men who lean
in the other direction to take their
places in the jury box. The result
would not be the speedy exhaustion of
the peremptory challenges of both
sides and would allow the final com
pletion of the jury in much shorter
time than is contemplated by either
side.
sTo Be Stubborn Fight.
Attorneys for both sides and Judge
Bordwell himself, are anxious that the
case be pushed ahead with all possible
speed as the clash over the Nelson in
cident has demonstrated that every
point is to be fought out with a stub.
