WHAT is HIS CAME.
sSpOtter" Armstrong in Hutch
inSOn for Some Purpose.
RumOred Graft Charges VIII Be
Made Against Police.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. 24.-Wha
was the business of T. b. Armstrong
and his coterie of spoilers" in Hutch-
inSon?
Speculation is wide as to what the
men have actually been doing here.
Some say they have been sporting
places where an illegal traffic in Ii
quor has been carried on. others say
they have been working up votes.
No arrests have been made on the
evidence supposed to have been Sc
cured by the men. On the other hand
the spoilers are the only ones Inat
self stated that he had not secured
one iota of evidence that the liquor
laws of the state and city are being
violated here. Yet the evidence
brought out in the Patterson trial in
police court Monday afternoon show
ed conclusively that Armstrong had
been able to locate generous sup
ply of liquor in the city.
A rumor was current on the street
yesterday that the spoilers were
here for the purpose of securing evil
dence against Chief of Police j. Q.
Patton and his subordinates that
grating was going on. In fact very
close friends of Armstrong, who APP
pears to be high moguP of the
spoilers" have stated that such is
the case. 1t is said that they have
visited every lawbreaker in the city,
offered inducements to them to make
affidavits against the chief.
BY those who appear to be on the
inside it is stated that Armstrong has
secured the desired evidence.
1t is claimed by Armstrong and his
friends that over the state Hutchi1-
son is known by tin horn gamblers, -
thieves and thugs and in fact every
class of lawbreaker, as place where
they can ply their Illegal business AMI
get away with it.
Just what Armstrong will do with
his evidence in case he has it is not
known. 1t is impossible to locate the
men and it was rumored that thew
had gone to Topeka to report to their
chief.
Considerab significance is at
tached to the hurry up visit of Assis
tant Attorney General w. P. Mont
gomery to Hutchinson. Mr.. Montgom
cry arrived in the city in time to
stand good" for Armstrong; bail for
the charge of disturbing the peace at
the Lee Patterson home. 1t is known
that after the arrest. Montgomery |
and Armstrong were in close confer |
ence in the Chalmers hotel and that |
the following day the attorney left the |
city without apparently transacting /
any business.

To Keep Skin in Fine
Condition in Summer
(From the Family Physician.)

1t would be much better for the
skin if little cream, powder or rouge
were used during the heated term.
Mixed with perspiration, dust and
Crime. these things are anything but
identifying. Ordinary mercolized wax
will co more for the complexion, and
without giving an oily, shiny, streaked,
spotted or pasty appearance. 1t is the
ideal application for the season, as it
not only keeps the pores Clean but
daily removes particles of scarf skin
which have been soiled by dirt or
weather. By constantly keeping the
complexion clear, white and satiny, it
does more toward perpetuating a
youthful countenance than any of the
arts or articles commonly employed.
One ounce of mercolized wax, oblain-
able at ony drug store, will completely
renovate the worst complexion 1t is
applied at night like cold cream and
washed off in the morning.
To keep the skin from sagging or
wrinkling, or to overcome such condi-
ton, there's nothing better than a face
bath made by dissolving 1 ounce pow
dered saxolite in II pint witch hazel.

Some investigating work has bean

have been giving the youngsters the
diet of which they are fond, including
beer, in order to keep them from cry

ing them dope to quiet their nerves,
and ease their little stomachs.
Consequently the Riddles are being

back their color.
Children between the ages of four
months and six years are taken into
the nursery. The mothers of the
smallest are given light work in the
association building as soon as they
are able to work at all. This makes
it possible for the mother to be with
her child.
The number of children in the nurs-

The series is practically cinched.
With the boys playing with the
pepper of yesterday any team in
the league will have to hustle to
win out.
Bridger did not pitch sensa-
tional ball yesterday. Hunt pull
ed out consistently until the ninth
when he was found for four hits
and two fieider's choices equal to
all the rest of the game. He
struck out one and did not give a
base on balls. And he was only
found for one extra base hit. The
Tigers took Bridger down for one
two-bagser and two three base
hits and six bases on balls. He
was easily ratified and was afraid
of several Tiger batsmen.

Greatest Game in History
Played Here FL Years Ago

Yesterday was the anniversary
of greatest ball game ever played
on the Pacific coast and the long
est game on record in the North
western league. Just 81 years
ago Tacoma defeated Seat
tie in game that went 22 in
nings and resulted in a score of
6 to 5. None of the original team
men are In the game now, all
having retired, but the game is
remembered with pleasant
thoughts by the Tacoma fans who
journeyed to the ball park in the
18th and 18th innings to see the
finish.
Just FL years ago tonight Ia
coma was wild, screaming, stark
raving mad baseball town. The
streets were packed with people
who carried Pitcher Donahue on
their shoulders, showered him
with money and other gifts until
it took a dray to cart the stuff
away. He had pitched the entire
22 innings and had struck the last
two Seattle men at bat, and only
allowed IL hits. He never pitch-
ed winning game afterwRrd.

life from him and his control and
