en- on Main. Street
Yesterday.
GOLD FILLING STOLEN
Office of Or. Forney Entered Sunday
or Saturday Nisht-$t5
Worth Of Gold
{ Missing.

A Ford automobile belonging to A.
C. Denton, OF Hamilton, was stolen
last night from near the corner OF
Fourth and Main streets, by two men.
1T was recovered about an hour later,
at o'clock, at the end OF the road
leading to the Illinois side of the dam
from the bridge.
Mr. Denton first missed his machine
about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He at once phoned the Office on this
side OF the bridge and notified them
to hold the automobile If an attempt
was made to take it across.
A few minutes later the machine
was driven up to the bridge. The toll
keeper told the driver and the man
with him to stop the car and walt
there until Denton arrived. The men
had waited for few minutes when
the toll keeper was called into his Of
fee to answer the telephone. As soon
as he entered the Office the men start
ed the car and drove as rapidly as
possible across the bridge.
On the Illinois side of the river.
they turned to the left on the road that
leads to the Illinois end of the dam.
This road ends just below the end of
the dam, as does the road on this side
of the river The two men in the car
evidently became frightened when
they saw they could not continue on
this road and left the car there where
it was found about half hour later.
The police in this city and in Ham
ilton are searching for the two men
who took the car, but SO far have
been unable to find any trace OF them.
The theft Of SIS worth of gold fill
ing from the ONCE of DR.. ]. E. Forney.
in the Masonic building, was reported
to the police yesterday. The theft was
committed some time between Satur-
day night and Monday morning. Moth
ing else In the office had been dis
turbed. The gold had been contained
in DR.. Forney.s desk, which was un-
locked.

January Annual Meeting Of League
to be Held in Waterloo on the
Thirteenth, Justice
Says. e
TO COMPLETE CIRCUIT
Larry Mullen Again angling for an
Opening In c. A.tirss
Justlce For In-
formation. i

The January annual meeting OF the
Central association will be held at
Waterloo on the thirteenth. according
to the information contained In let
ters that have Just been sent out to
the clubs on this beat by President
N. D. Justice.
Mr.. Justice has asked each club to
forward to him not later than the
first Of the year list Of all old play
ers retained on the club and OF those
who have played In leagues of hisher
classification than the Central 1850
citation. These lists will be gone over
at the January meeting OF the league.
Other business to come up at this
meeting will be the completion Of the
circuit by the addition OF an eighth
city. 1t Is believed that Galeshurg
will have present at the meeting rep
resentatives who will attempt to hold
the franchise in their city Other
cities may also be represented at the
meeting in the hope Of gaining afmis-
sion to the c. A.
W. c. larry Mullen of Austin,
Mimi, may become interested in the
GaIesburg proposition. Mullen has
been dickering for some time with the
natives Of Dubuque In an effort to
put that city back on the baseball
map, but from the contents Of his
telegram he evidently has given up
the Dubuque deal. Mullen asked JUS
tice If there were an opening In the
&C. A. for him, requesting information
be wired to him at once. Although
has has not yet done SO, Mr. Justice
probably will steer Mullen toward
.Galesburg in the hope the man and
the city can get together on some kind
of a deal that will keep Galesburg in
the G. "A.

Mlssouri's Capitol.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. s.
Missouri's new state capitol now be-
ing built may after all include In its
structure some of Missouri's famous
black walnut. The fast disappearing
wood. now produced only. in Missouriss
forests is preferable according to the
contractors in charge of the work, and
there is also sentimental campaign
being waged to have the native pro-
duct used in the capitol.
In other days Missouri black walnut
was used in making rail fences but
now the shipments find their way In
to the homes of the wealthy. Many
large consignments were sent to Ger
many for building purposes until the
war crippled commerce.

PreeIou, Little pears.

CHICAGO, Dec. Segregated play
grounds where the little sons and
daughters OF Lake Shore multimillion-
aires may escape contact with rough
kids with dirty faces and unwashed
vocabularies, was the project launch
ed today by thoughtful Lake Shore
parents.
The new play grounds are to be
very, very democratic, though trifie
deluxe. A little Lord Fauntleroy who
has been properly reared in a nursery
and whose parents sweep their money
in piles, will be admitted behind the
walls. The walls will be built so
high that the rough, dirty faced kids
can't look over and make faces.
