CUBS SOx TIE AGAIN.
second Game Called on Account of
Darkness at Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-With the score
tied, to 8, the second game of the
series between the Chicago American
and National League clubs was called
Friday in the twelfth inning because
of darkness. The game was the sec
ond tie in the series, the opening con-
test Tuesday ending without a score.
Lord and Weaver collided at full
speed in center field in the eighth in
ming when each was trying for Miller's
hit They were knocked unconscious
and both had to be carried from the
field Lord quickly recovered, but
Weaver was in a dazed condition for
several hours. His face was cut in
the collision and he will probably be
out of the game for several days.
johnson, a recruit, who took Wea-
ver's place at short, enabled the White
Sox to tie up the game in the ninth
inning after the Cubs had taken the
lead in the eighth. With Borton on
first, Johnson tripled, scoring him,
Easterly followed with a triple, his
fourth hit in the game, and brought
Johnson home with the tying run.

record i'm Hay SHIPMENT.

Emporia, Kan, Oct. 12.-Loading a
50-foot furniture car, with a capac-
ity of $40 bales of hay, from six
wagon loads of hay in one day, was
the achievement of Smith Brothers,
who have a farm on the Neosho
river, north of town. This is one of
the largest shipments of hay ever
placed in one car, farmers say, as
well as one of the quickest loading
feats ever accomplished in this sec
ton of the country. The wagons
hauling the hay to the car averaged
more than 100 bales of hay each, al
though one wagon hauled 100 bales.
The average load is from rs to S5
bales. Ordinarily the railroads give
the shipper two days in which to load
car, but because of the present
scarcity of cars most of the loading
must be done in less time.

coLoN1sr MOVEMENT IS HEAVY.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-Reports of
an extraordinary crop yield through
out the west and the northwest have
been responsible for an unusually
heavy colonist movement in both di-
rections, according to the statistics of
the different railroads. Because OF
the comparatively small movement in
the spring the colonist period this fall
was limited to fifteen days, or the
period between September rs and Oc-
tober 10. Practically every night the
roads have run special trains to take
care of settlers who could not be ac-
commodated on the regular trains
The schedule of special trains for
these colonists will be wound up to-
morrow night. The interest in farms
seems to extend generally throughout
the east.

the safety movement, which is to be
the sole topic for consideration at the
big safety rally in Convention hall the

small way the movement has grown
until it is fast becoming a separate &c
partment to railway operation.
Three months ago the movement was
started on the Chicago, Milwaukee &

was only organized in a general way.
The organization is now growing and
bein extended all over the system
Under the direction of a special bureau,
the safety committees are being OK

important points on the line. The or

Bio Crowd Sees Circus.

Shelby had the largest crowd Wedncs-
day that she has had since the great
celebration on July the Fourth. when
the crowd was estimated at 10000 or
II, 900. The occasion was the coming
Of Downie & Wheeer's Worlds Best
Show. and the general verdict is that
the exhibitions were novel and well
worth the price of admission.
People in this section were show
hungry, il having been three or four
years since the town was visited by a
circus. This one was well advertised.
and early Wednesday morning the
crowds began pouring in. though the
roads were muddy and heavy from the
rains Tuesday. The tents were pitched
on the vacant lot opposite the Southern
depot and the grounds We're full Of peo-
pie all day.
The performances We're novel and ex-
celIent. especially good We're the aero
batic stunts and the bicycle exhibitions,
one Of which was given outside the tent
aud free. Those who saw the perform
ances seem to be well pleased and the
exhibitions are said to be as good as
any Of the bigger and world-famous
shows.
One thing worthy of mention was the
absence of any fake or gambling
