Especial TO The Times Dispatch
WASHINGTON, November o.-The
state Department heard tonight In a
dispatch from Mexico city that Gen
erai Carranza has released Augustine
Roderiguez. one OF tho delegates to
Niagara Falls last fall. whom he
locked UP in Jail several days ago
The arrest OF Roderiguez threatened
to become an issue between Carranza
and this government. On account OF
the part played by Senor Roderigue.
In working out an agreement between
the United States and Mexico. thereby.
restoring peace, the State Department.
was eager to go to his aid. Secretary
Bryan admitted to-day that the de
partment had made representations to
Carranza for his release
The fact that Carranza arrested
Senor Rodcriguez, knowing that this
government would be concer rned about
his safety just At "a time when the
stat" Department was pressing the
Provisional President for certain guar.
antees as to life and property in Vera
cruz, WAS interpreted by some as a
slap at the United States.
Senor Roderigucz is more than sew
enty-two years old. and feeble. a nd. in
the opinion OF officials of tho State
Department, could not have stood the
hs rdship of confinement in Jail.
The State Department to-day received
confirmation OF the news dispatches
from Aguascalicntes that tho conven-
tion of chiefs which elected General
Gutierrez Provisional President had
given Cnrranza until s o'clock to-mor-
, row evening tn resign.

TEAM BLOWS UP.
Great Bend Promoters Quit Game
and Forfeit Franchise.

The expected happened in
Great Bend baseball circles last
week when the men who have
been behind the enterprise here
this year, finally got tired of the
continual grind and allowed the
team to "blow up, President Gaf-
ford, of the Central Kansas Lea
que tranferred the franchise
to Minneapolis, where the team
played the three remaining games
of the season.
The action of the promoters
was one which has been expect
ed for the past two months,
for the season which was termi-
mated last week, as far as Great
Bend was concerned, was a most
disastrous one from the start.
Cold rainy weather all during
the early part of the summer kept
the crowds down so that the pro-
mOterS started in early in the
year with a heavy load of debt.
Then the team hit a losing streak
the busy season came on and at
most of the weekday games all
summer there was hardly large
enough an attendance to pay the
guarantee of the visiting team.
Salaries were long overdue, and
the members of the team lost their
pep" and the aggregation that
along in the early stages of the
season looked like another PEN
nant winning bunch, developed
quite largely into a bunch of
crabberS who, seemingly did not
care whether they won or not and
the result was that the team quit
with a death grip on the cellar
championship, and the probabili-
ties are that league baseball is a
thing Of the past for Great Bend
for the next few years, at least.
1t has been the consensus of
opinion here that the. sport is
too expensive a luxury for a city
of this size, and the opinion is
quite probably correct. If the
game will not come closer to pay
ing its own way than it has dur
ing the past two years, then it is
evidence in plenty that the gener-
al public does NOT care for the

SEBERN-TINNEMEYER.

Clarence M. Sebern and Miss
Ella NJ. Tinnemeyer were unit
ed in marriage by Probate Judge
Hall at his office Tuesday after
noon, August 4th, in the presence
of a few of the relatives and init
mate friends of the young cou-
pie.
Mr.. Sebern is a young man who
has made his home in this vicini-
ty for some years and for the past
two years has been in the employ
of John Bales, of northeast of
town. He is a steady, industrious
young man who is highly respect
ed by all who know him, and he
has host of friends in this Vi
cinity.
His bride is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Tinnemeyer, of
northeast of town, and is one of
the most popular young ladies of
the community. With their many
other friends, the Democrat joins
in wishing for this estimabIe
young couple a long and happy
welded life.

ported into the United States at
the prices that have ruled since
the new tariff law went into ef-
feet.
While the editor of the Gazette
is getting right on these points
it might pay him to run over the
files of his own paper and learn
the prices paid for wheat during
the Republican regime which he
so greatly regrets. In 1899 on
September 10, wheat was 55 cents
a buShel in Salina and on July
q, 1901, it was 50 cents a buShel.
1t is probable that about the same
prices prevailed in Lawrence.
Were those low prices due to the
politics of the Republican party
then in power -Salina Union.

ENJOYED A PICNIC.

Fourteen of the young lalieS of
the city held a picnic which they
termed an "Old Maids Conven-
tiOn," at Bissels Point, northeast
of town Monday evening of this
week, and all report having had
a most enjoyable time. They left
town about 7 o'clock in the even
ing in carriages and proceeded to
the picnic place where they
spread their feast and enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent
in their study of astrology, their
perSonificatiOn of the old Indian
war dances and yellS and divers
and Sundry other amuSementsnot
altogether in keeping with the
staid decorum which would be
expected from those who were at
tending what they styled the
JOld Maids Convention" But
they had a rattling good time,
anyway, and that was what they
were after, and while they had
taken along an abundance of pro-
visions for a small army, yet it
was hardly enough for the four,
teen after their ride. Those COM
priSing the party were the Misses
Blanche Thatcher, Flora Smith,
Jennie Momyer, Nora White, Mat
tie and Nellie Cheney, Agnes
Praeger, Sadie Dale, Matte Fruit,
LeOna Griffith, Bea Rush, Maggie
Bitner, and the Misses Gertrude
and Gladys Drach, who are here
from Colorado for a visit with
Miss Thatcher.

money came too hard at this syS-

Mickey devised a scheme where

Arthur RamSpeare for S22.5O, and
shortly 81 thereafter departed from

years will probably be a good
thing for the town and the game
as well. And from the looks of
things now the people of this Vi

concerned.
