You bet brother, even the high

Don't think that because a saloon

Doing what? Beating it in the d.

Those who frolic at the court of
king Alcohol generally end up by

fail to see the other side at all.
1t is rumored that Doctor New

tell what's in a man by pumping
him."
It's a pretty hard proposition to
get acquainted with Mr.. Success,
unless you have the get-up and
gumption to hail the gentleman
without having to be introduced.
Brigham Jr., says that beauty is
only skin deep sure enough. He
goes on further by saying that
fairy may have teeth that resemble
pearls and still be as dumb as a clam.
Windy says, one cooking lesson is
worth two noisy music lessons.
There are several people who believe

WnO's gong to WIN the w Orld s
Series? This s an all absorbing
question of base ball topics. Each
contender has a host of adherents
and the teams are we'll matched.
The dope writer's are realyiug on
the cut and dried stuff that it passed
out each autumn. In our opinion
Boston will have the best chance.
This team has declsivelv proven its
superiority over every team in the
league by winning handsome ma
jority of its games in each series
with it's seven opponents. When a
team achieves such a record there
can be no gainsaying to it's superior
ity. The same cannot be said of the
Giants. In the matter of wins, the
Cubs have put it all over them, and
Pittsburg has been able to vanquish
New York also. Therefore it is
reasonable to argue that McGraw's
men occupy their present position
partly through very well arranged
schedule, and lions share of the
lucky breaks. For about six weeks
at the start of the season the Giants
were at home playing such easy VIC
TINS as Brooklyn, Boston, and Phil
adelphia which explains why it was
possible for Marquard to run up
fine string Of victories. By the
time they met the strong eastern
teams, who had been battling among
themselves, their position was al
most impregnable. The arrange
ment of a schedule has much to do
with teams success and Mr.. Bush
was able to shape this to suit
himself. Since July LIST the team
has not shown anything phenomen-
al in the percentage of games won,
and we hear very little about Mar
guard, who for the present has been
obscured by Big Jeff Tesreau, the
Ozark wonder. 1t is said the latter
will be called upon in the Big Series.
AS far as the Giants are concerned
their main hope is concentrated in
their pitcher. Here is the way they
line up
New York Boston
Marquard Wood
Matthewson Collins
Tesreau Hall
Ames O'Brien
Wiltse Bedient
Not such terrific advantage there
after all. The Boston pitchers will
probably prove surprise to the
Giants. One thing is certain; liz the
field the Red Sox outbalance New
York quite heavily. In batting
strength it is about toss up. Ty
Cobb thinks the Red Sox can win
on the Polo Grounds if their pitch
ers refrain from using a slow ball,
for the reason that the grounds are
quite dark at this late season and
the Giants can't hit the fast ones
if they don't see them. An express
ion of opinion among the local fans
is about evenly divided as a glance
at the following will show

she kept scratching them until they

weeks, but it kept spreading until we
had to keep her little hands tied and
dress and bandage them several times
a day they were SO sore, and we used
everything we could hear of for ecZe-

To Build Methodist
Church by Contract
Committee Accepted Bid for
Sewer Construction Work
on Monday Evening.

The building committee which
has in charge the reconstruction of
the Methodist church met in the
office of d M. Kennedy Monday
evening and definitely decided to
have work done by contract rather
than by having the committee di-
rectly to hire the laborers by the
day. This plan had been contem-
plated already to the extent of Sc
curing bids for the sewer work and
thus the committee was able to let
that contract last night. The NAL
lory Plumbing Co. had the lowest
bid and was awarded the contract.
The sewer necessary to be built
will be approximately 50 feet in
length and will extend from the
northeast corner of the church lots
to the sewer in the alley on the east.
1t will need to be nine feet deep
which is four feet deeper than the
present smaller sewer as the base
ment in the reconstructed edlfice
will be twelve feet as compared with
the nine and half feet depth of the
basement in the present building.
The committee also decided to
advertise at once for bids for the
excavation work and the construc-
ton of the foundation. 1t will re-
quire the bids to be in by Saturday
noon, the plans and specifications
being kept by w. E. Wilson where
all contractors interested may see
them.
The committee has not fully de-
cided about how the contracts for
the masonry and carpenter work
will be let but it is probable that
they will ask for bids for contracts
boti in combined form and
separately. All concerned are
eager to get the building process
begun as soon as possible and
hence the piecemeal action as to
contracts whereby the sewer work
is to be begun Immediately and the
excavation very soon.

Oldest Inhabitant
Found Dead Monday
Mrs. Harriet Springmeyer was
80 Years OF Age.---Came
Here in 1881.

With the passing away of Mrs.
Harriet Springmeyer Monday after
noon at the home of her son John
E. Pruitt, 1902 North Garfield, oc-
Cured the death of probably the
oldest person living in Chanute.
Mrs. Springmeyer was born at Fos-
terburg, ILL.,, November 20, 1922
and was thus SO years, S months
and 9 days old at the time of her
death. She came to Chanute in
1881 with her husband Henry
Springmeyer who died year or
two later.
Mrs. Springmeyer was found dead
by Delbert Drewhurst, young man
who has made his home there for
several years, when he arrived home
at $3.50 in the afternoon. She was
lying upon couch as if she might
have fallen there after having turned
up the gas in the heating and cook
stoves as strong fire was burning
in both. Coroner Hickey was
called but he made no order for an
inquest as there seemed to be moth
ing but the infrmities of age to have
caused Mrs. Springmeyer's death.
Besides her son here Mrs. Spring.
meyer is survived by daughter,
Mrs. Valentine living at Fort Worth
Texas, son at Shreveport, La,
one son in the state of Washington
and another in California. Funeral
arrangements had not been made
this morning as they await the plan:
of daughter IN Texas who could
not receive the information in time
for her to reach Chanute today.
The funeral services of Mrs,
Harriett Springmeyer were conducted
at 230 Wednesday at the home OF
her SOD, 1902 North Garfield by Rev
R. McFadden. Her daughter who
was expected from Fort Worth
Texas was unable to come on account
of her own sickness.

NO PAVING EXTENSION ON S. ASHBY

Commissioner Johnson report ed ad-
versely Tuesday afternoon concerning
the extension of the paviog ou South
Ashby. 1t has been ordered f,r three
and a half blocks south uf Main street
in froIt of Katy City Park and a petit
tioD has been filed asking tnat an
other half block be paved. Inasmuch
as the proposed extension would work
distinct hardship upon at least one
of the property owners concerned
johnson favored deferment of action.
Upon motion of Sans the board ac-
cepted the report and denied the petit
tion for the half block extension at
this time.
A communication from c. B. Achen-
bach of 2l7 S. Evergreen concerning
the overflow at the southeast corner
of Second street and Evergreen at the
time of hard rain was referred to
johnson for investigation. Mr.. Ach-
enbach's letter stated that the sewer
had but two intakes in nine blocks to
take care of the surface water, and
stated his willingness to have the
city dig into his parking in taking
action to relieve the condition to
which he called attention.
