Forty thousand Killed i'm Battle
Industries at StandStill.

London. Aug. 26.-The Ostend cor
respondent of the Chronicle says that
Belgium's losses so far are estimated
at 10000 killed. No estimate of the
appalling property loss has been haz-

Industry everywhere is at a stand
still, says the correspondent.
Not a single factory or coal pit in
the country has been operated in
three weeks and not a single penny
in wages has been received by the
men engaged in the staple activities
Of the nation since August i.
There is nothing but dire poverty
distress and s~tagnation even in the
areas untouched by the fighting.

A MARRIAGE fee
A CHICAGO PHYSICIAN SENDS A
MADISON PREACHER $40
TO BE SURE.

Do you ever joke? DR.. Mitterling
does, and one of his jests has come
home to him in a most peculiar man
ner. Away back in 1889, DR.. Mitter-
ing as a Presbyterian clergyman at
LaGrange, Ind, performed the cere-
mony which joined DR.. j. A. Slough,
now of Chicago, in matrimony. Not
long ago DIR. Mitterling met DR..
slough at LAGRANGE, and with a
party of friends they were enjoying
a happy hour r%ecounting old times
md passing meaty jests back n
forth as preachers and doctors are
apt to do when they get together.
Reference was made to DR.. Stough's
marriage and DR.. Mitterling thought
it a good joke to throw in the remark
that he had married DR.. Slough and
in his confusion he had failed to pay
the marriage fee. The jest struck
home all right and DR.. Slough took
it under advisement and inyestiga-
ton. After carefully recalling to the
best of his ability all the business OF
his wedding day, it occurred to him
that be had handed his father the
money to pay the preacher. The IA
ther was consulted in regard to his
stewardship, but for the life OF him
ne couldn't remember anything about
II. However, he is an honest man,
md he knows it, and he declared to
his son that if he handed him money
20 pay the preacher on his wedding
day, he paid the preacher n ne
would swear to it on a stack OF
Bibles. But somehow, DR.. Slough
felt a little in doubt, and not relish
ing the position of being a married
man on tick, he indicted a letter to
DR.. Mitterling, enclosing a draft for
$40 to apply on his marriage ac-
count, which was duly received. II
was noN DIR. Mitterling's turn to flush
with confusion as deeply as that
which overspread DR.. Slough on his
wedding day. He was only joking
He had received the fee all right anc
gave it to his wife and she had spen'
it as preachers wives are apt to do
Accordingly, the United States mails
are today carrying back to DR.. Stougf
his $40 draft, with a humble letter
/ from DIR. Mitterling that the marriage
| fee had been duly paid-and that thu
| officiating clergyman had simpi.

CANADA MEAT
Sioux City Packing House Ships
Bacon from Canada.

Sioux City, Aug. 26.-Because of
the shortage of hogs in this country.
the large packers have begun the i'm
portation of pork from Canada.
Twenty-Five hundred slabs of bacon
are in transportation from Toronto,
to Sioux City for the Cudahy
Packing company. Invoice of the
shipment was received yesterday by
Michael Ertman, deputy collector of
customs. The value of the shipment
is $~4,437.54. 1t comes into this
country free of duty. The meat was
shipped by the Northumberland
company, limited.
Daniel Cameron, superintendent of
the Sioux City plant of the Cudahy
company, stated that to his knowl-
| edge this will be the first shipment
OF meat ever received in Sioux City
| from Canada to be supplied to the
| company's trade. He said the Can
| adam meat importations were due to
| the hog shortage in this country and
the inability of the packers to buy
enough hogs to supply the demand.

A oROPOS of Mr. Garcelon's prono..
sition that athletic mana ssrs
should receive credit on the curricn-

at Columbia desire to require particI.

little truck horses when it comes to
work, but they lack experience and
1t will take lot of grooming to get
them up to the college ball standard.
AT first base there is Henderson,
whose incumbency dates back to last
season, but who is getting no con-
cessions at the hands of Quatter-
baum and Denham. Harrison's pos
session of second also dates back a
year, but he has some lively compe-
tition in several new men. Clements
at short is displaying his old-time
flash in fielding and should boost, his
batting this year. These men form
the nucleus for the infield, and at
third there is lively tilt on between
Riley, Holden, Wrinkle and Lester,
with not much to choose between
them. Holden and Riley have both
played on Georgia teams before, but
have never possessed a seasons regu-
lar position.
In the outfield Captain CHM, -ex-
Captain McWhorter and Brown have
to look to their places at the hands
of number of ambitious aspirants,
many of whom are showing a flash of
ability.
Must Rush Their Work.
W TN only lew days workout with
the boys and with the weather I'M
favorable, too, it has been a hard
task to size up the situation as to
prospects this early in the season. 1t
will be some time before the posi-
tons are won, as every man who has
reported will be given a chance to
show his worth. The nearness of the
opening game will necessitate a rush
in practice.
The selection of the men for the
first lineup and the developing of
teamwork win all have to be crowded
into less than two weeks now and
there is no telling what results the
examinations will have on the out
come. Battling for a place on the
team and trying at the same time to
make the required average in the
classroom don't leave much pep" for
either, so hard work on the diamond
will be practically suspended next
week
We have good nucleus, a good
batting outfit, if past records are lived
up to, and fairly good new material.

terry would hardly be turned down,
