demand by the major league teams.
According to dispatch from Wiscon-
sin. every club in both the National
and American leagues has made bid
for him. Comiskey Of the White Sox
Is said to have the edge SO far. with
an offer Of $4,000 and two players for

years old. and indications are that 1t
would not be surprising II the record

truth were told, are perhaps not more
bewildering than the old straight ball
that Al used to pitch with nothing but
a smile behind 1t.
Orth should make good umpire. A
man who has had to use his head all
the time in default Of sweeping curves
or sharp breaks has been in the best
position to study the game. It is not
difficult step from IN front of the bat
to the post behind it. and Orth should
be as much at home back Of the catch

NICK ANTON Arrested
RAISED MONEY ORDER

Nick Anton, a farmer in the vicinity
of Gladstone, appears to be in bad
scrape. He is charged with raising a
money order for $1.OO purchased at the
Gladstone office to ,$171. 1t is under
stood, that he was wanting to purchase
goods of Sears Robuck Co. and it posi-
bly, occurred to the fellow that he might
as we'll add $17O to the order while he
was about it and get a seasons supply
of goods. He showed his ignorance of
postal laws by attempting to get an
amount in excess of orders that can be
issued.
When the order reached the mail Or
der house at Chicago of course it was
known at once to be fraud, as no
office can issue money orders for an
amount greater than 500. The raised
order was turned over to the aovern-
ment authorities, with the result that
Marshal Mckay came. out to Gladstone
and arrested Nick Anton. taking him
before u. S. Commissioner W. r.
Everett in Dickinson. The fellow gave
bonds in the sum of $500 and was re-
leased until the spring term Of United
States court.

LEAP YEAR FESTIVITIES
LADIES ALL PRIVILEGES

Something novel and unique in the
way of entertainment will be the Leap
. Year ball given by the G. l. A. to B.
of L. E. on next Friday evening. jan
uary 10th, at the armory.
The price of the tickets are ST. 90 each
and all ladies attending must present
same before gaining admittance. The
gentleman partner goes free. The fact
that there are 366 days in this year
gives the ladies the preference rights
and they will have an opportunity to
fully exercise them on Friday night.
They will select their partners tor the
dance, applause, ETC., and no doubt they
will manage it as capably as the
stronger sex do. The gentlemen have
no say and if they are desirous of gong
to this ball they will have to behave
real nicely and calmly await an in
vitation from some fair damsel. At
this dance each. will be able to find
out just how popular he is with the fair
sex.
The hostesses will have good music for
the dance and wish to say that ladies
need NOT. hesitate in asking the most
fastidious gentleman to be her partner
for that evening, as every detail of the
great ball will be as perfect as they
can make it. Supper will be served in
the Commercial Club rooms and there
will be ample viands to satisfy the
most epicurean appetite. The armory
will be decorated and there will be
novel little surprises in the way of en-
tertainment.
