Third District Congressman
Here All Day Friday.
Glad TO Meet Citizens Having
Matters for His Attention.
He Wishes to Get In Personal Touch
With His Constituents.

Congressman John A. Peters will be
at the Augusta House all day Fri
day, and will be glad to meet and
confer with any of his constituents,
the citizens of the Third district, con-
corning any matters in which he may
be of any benefit or use to them in
Washington.
The Congressman has had no time
to get in personal touch with the peo-
pie of the district since his election,
and deems this a favorable opportunity
to meet any who desire to see him
on their own matters before he re-
turns to the national capital.
Congressman Peters is in splendid
health and spirit and is ready to take
up any work the people of this dis
trict, regardless of politics, may have
for him. He would have announced
earlier that he would stop over in
Augusta, but did not know until
Thursday that he could spend the day
here.

St. Mary Lands Ex=
citing Game from A.
A. A. Jrs. Is to q.

In game replete with sensational
plays, one that was undecided until the
very last few seconds of play, the St
Mary's College team from Van Buren,
downed the A. "A. y. Jrs. Thursday aft
ernoon at the Augusta skating rink by
the finad score of % to 23. 1t was one
of the best games seen in the city this
season, barring none. Team work, clever
shooting and excellent passing charac-
terized the game throughout. The for
men engagement between these two teams
resulted in a decided win for the Van
Buren aggregation, and although this
team duplicated its trick, it was not by
any overwhelming majority The crowd
on hand was not large, nevertheless from
the amount of enthusiasm shown it
seemed like crowded house There
were no mixups. for which all ought to
be thankful, for it is even the fashion
nowadays for the youngsters to mix it
football star, played center and greatly
strengthened the team
The first half ended 10 to in favor of
st. Mary, and as the score indicates was
fast and close. When the gong sounded
for the game to start Chadwick start
ed going and skilful lodging and clever
handling of the ball enabled this player
to carry the leather up to the Augusta
end of the floor. Then he passed it to
Colgan. Jimmie" snapped it back and
Chad" Gagged it for the first tally. Play
had been resumed but short time when
young Chadwick Gagged another The Van
Buren team then set out with determi-
nation and in short order 2. La Liberte
dropped one in from the 10-yard line
From then on until the end of the half
first one and then the other of the two
teams would be in the lead.
After a short intermission the second
half started and was 20 minutes in length
This period of the game proved to be
in the last half and when the whistle
sounded for time the score was a tie
% to %. Here is where one of the tim
ers came near getting his. for the mo-
ment that time was called someone Gagged
a goal for the French team. a howl
went up and all rushed from their seats
But it proved just a case of getting a

"Stop Thief Saturday.

Stop Thief" has them all stopped
This is the new farce which Cohan
and Harris will present at the Opera
House Saturday matinee and night
The plot is original An absent
minded old man who was once affiict-
ed with kleptomania; bridegroom
who has the suspicion that he is af-
flicted with the same trouble; and a
real thief who is trying to get away
with everything valuable, furnish the
idea. Why the stealing and losing of
valuable things gets so contagious
that when you reach in your pockets
for your gloves you wouldn't be a bit
surprised if you found a diamond
bracelet or a jeweled ear trumpet. The
family gets SO nervous that at times
it looks as if everybody on the stage
has st. Vitus' dance. The man who
said that all comedy primarily arose
from watching the other fellow S
troubles had the Keynote why so many
people broke into laughter when "Stop
Thief was put on the first night. You
wonder what is to be stolen next, and
it was high tide in kleptcmania when
the warrant was taken from the po-
liceman.
