Judge Fifield put the knife into the
attorney fees charged against estates
in his court last week when the report
of the administrator in the estate of
CORTLAND HI. Bliven was taken up. The
Judge issued an order that the pre-
ferred creditors of the CORTLAND Fl.
Bliven estate be paid in full and that
the common creditors be paid at the
rate of Is per cent. The order was is
sued following testimony taken upon
the administrator account, which
showed practically no balance when at
torney fees and costs had been settled
for. The courts order protects the
creditors to the extent stated, cutting
down attorneys charges which were
alleged to be excessive when the
amount of the estate, some So, 900 or
$4,000, was taken into consideration.
There was about thousand people
at the Driving Park Friday afternoon
to see the Leland Giants, the famous
Chicago colored team, defeat Edgerton
in game by to 5. An effort had
been made to strengthen the local team
by securing Death Valley Jim Scott of
the Chicago White Sox pitching staff,
and Edgerton's favorite, Billy Sullivan,
as backstop, but their support proved
so weak that they were unable to cope
with the Giants. A whole series of
mishaps and fumbles in the second in
ming when the Giants piled up five runs
put the game wholly without the reach
of the locals. Aside from this weak
ness the game was fairly well played
and enjoyable to the audience. The
pitching of Scott, however, did not
prove as much OF puzzle to the Giants
as was expected. Sullivan was in good
form but lacked some of the vigor of
his earlier days here. But that was a
long time ago. Someone in the audi
ence offered to bet that it was as much
as fifty years ago, and Billy promptly
responded, "You win." 1t will be re-
membered that the Leland Giants were
billed to play at the 7. A. & B. picnic
here on August 9th and rain caused the
postponement of the date and though
the club was paid for their services
they had a previous engagement and
could not come on the 9Th so agreed to
visit Edgerton later in the fall. Hence
the game was given under the auspices
of the T. A. & B. society," The weather
Friday was delightful for outdoor sport
and the people of Edgerton were fav-
ored with a good exhibition of ball
playing.

Charts for Commercial Geography.

Commercial geography as 1t is now
widely taught in the public schools by
listing the various imports and ex-
ports of countries and the products OF
different cities fails to give clear
idea of the relative importance OF the
materials listed. 1t frequently hap
pens that the second or third item
on list may have only one-tenth the
importance of the first item. Because
the three names are given one aftes
the other, the pupil IS quite likely to
consider the three items of equal i'm
portance, Just as three persons MAJ

The difficult part of the teaching was
to make Zip keep the organ in his
mouth. Bill conceived tho idea Of coat
ing the mouth organ with sugar.
The mistake was that no allowance
was made for lips enthusiasm for
sweets and Yesterday. while playing
Justify, he swallowed the mouth organ.
Snyder is considerably worried, for

Another shark was caught at Concy

big as the one caught off West twenty

harder to conquer.
Fishermen who had lost several bags
