yertising of the Kahn Clothing Store
last week and this issue, Mr.. Kahn in
tends to close out his stock and re-
move from Hendricks. He says he
doesn't know just where he will locate,
but figures on going West, perhaps to
Montana. Mr.. and Mrs. Kahn were
among the first citizens Of Hendricks,
seem unnatural without them. 1t will,
however, be some time before they
take their departure, and a farewell
message on our part at this time would
be premature, hence is left until the
proper time.

reference to a so-called planting of

lack of space this week the Tribune
is unable to print the article in full
with the proper comment, but Robert
Henry, cashier of the First State
Bank of this city, and a son of of
the parties mentioned, and is familiar
with the early facts of the case, states
that there is just about as much truth
to all the story as there is to the state
ment concerning Lake lakewood, that
is that "the lake is an enlargement of
the Big Sioux river" when everyone
knows that at the nearest point Oak
wood is three miles from the Sioux
river and 1t is nearly eight miles from
the lake to where the outlet enters
the Sioux. The Herald's informant

AN IMPROVED TONE.
New Haven Stocks and Bonds Make a
 Strong Rally.


 New York, Oct. 27.-In a quiet, even way. stocks rose generally today. There was at no time a large volume of business, and the significant feature of the market was it's steady strength without the driving power of an in siStent demand to sustain prices on the upturn. Many of the leading stocks gained a point or more.
 Brokers said that the improved tone of the market had brought in some outside buying. largely of the high priced issues. but the amount of this business was small
 Reduction in the German bank rate from to } 1-2 per cent. contributed to the strength of the market. This change alIayed apprehension concern ing money conditions abroad and put an end to reports of another advance in the Bank of England's rate There was no material change in rates for time money here, but call funds were held more firmly. a late furry sending up the quotation to 4 per cent.
 The news from Mexico tended to restrict the volume of speculative trad ing. The reported failure of the cleo tiOns yesterday caused traders to hold back pending the receipt of informa Q ton as to the attitude of the Washing ton government.
 Rock Island issues were strong and rather active, both the preferred stock and the fours making good gains. Buying of these securities was attrtb- uted to reports that the Phelps Dodge interests had taken over 9. large block of the stock New Haven securities were heavy at first the new conVert- bIe sizes making a new low record, but later both stocks and bonds rallied strongly.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $2,830,000.

PREPARING POLO GROUNDS.
Diamond Being Made into Gridiron for
 Big Games.

The baseball diamond at the Polo grounds, New York the scene of games in the recent worlds series, is being transformed into a gridiron as the neutral battlefield for two big football games to be staged there this fall. The first contest will be the Carlisle-Dart- mouth game on November 15 and the second, which will be the most inn portant contest of the kind seen in New York for years, will be the army and navy game on November 29.
 A committee, headed by Secretary John B. Foster is to have charge of the distribution of tickets for this game which will be sold at $3 each, while the boxes will be $100 apiece. tenn
 porary stand is being built over left field bleachers and boxes will be built all around the field. The arrangement will provide for II, 300 seats and prob ably for the admission of 5000 "standees." Thirty five thousand tickets will be held in reserve until November 19 for army and navy appli- cants It is expected that President Wilson and the members of his cab inet will attend, besides the usual rep resentatives of the army and navy.

EGAN AS A@PITCHER
Was Only Umpire of Worlds Series
 Who Gained Fame as Player.


 Of the four umpires who had charge of the games in the recent worlds series only one of them ever reached any degree of prominence in the play ing end of the game. This mDire is also the only official of the series whose face is familiar to Southern league fans We refer to Jack Egan. who gained considerable prominence as a pitcher and has been seen in ac- tiOn on Southern league diamonds. Egan is q native of Providence When Egan developed a sore arm he retired from the pitching mound and became an umpire. The season of 1902 was rather a strenuous one for Egan as the Eastern league race was very close that season and the players were al- lowed to pull off stuff which would at the present time result in penalty or banishment for life
 Egan was easily the most efficient official of President Powers staff. and he would be assigned to all the tough series. Although Jack made a splendid umpire, he had become disgusted with the job, and when Mike Finn sug- gested to Egan that a season in the south would do his arm a great deal of good and perhaps restore it's former f1exibility, Egan thought so well of the idea that he immediately signed to pitch for Finns Little Rock team in 1903 The climate did benefit his arm, and he helped pitch Finn's club into second place, being nosed out by the Memphis club.
 Egan was one of the most effective twirlers in the league winning almost two- thirds of his games. Egan, real izing that his pitching days were about at an end, again took up fhe refereeing end of the game. He is thoroughly fearless and has stood the gaff on oc- casions when affairs were about as calm and placid as the Whirlpool rapids
 Other than Jack Egan, the only two familiar faces to Southern league fans of the entire two umpire staffs of tfe major leagues are Nal Eason and Bill Byron Nal Eason was one of the um- pires in the C1eyeland-Pttt sburg se- ries, and has seen service in the Southern. but not as a player Nal Eason arrived" quickly in the base ball business He was one of the best pitchers in the old Eastern league in 1904, winning almost three -fourths of his games for the Jersey City. His splendid twirling resulted in his grad uation to the National league, Brook lyn securing him.
 He pitched several seasons in the National league. and after leaving that organization lie made his debut as q manager. His first season as team
