Cheney was found for two swats, and
yesterday George label and his side
arm curve duplicated the perform
ance of Cheney.
With this brand of pitching, backed
by the batting that is known to be
present in the Cub camp, Bresnahan
should succeed in holding the top
rung of the ladder for long, long
time, especially with protracted
session on the home lot about to be-
gin.
Further cause for optimism is the
return of Wilbur Good, allowing a
change in the lineup that should pro-
duce many more runs. Wilbur goes
back to the top of the batting order
and Art Phelan takes his old place,
hitting ahead of the pitcher. Good
will get on base oftener than Phelan
and can travel the paths much faster
than the local third baseman. He
celebrated his return by smacking
a double and single and scoring run

The Dunbars Friday Night.

Almost everyone in Orleans will
welcome return engagement of the
Dunbar quartet here at the opera
house Friday night, Jan. 20. Perhaps
no single entertainment has ever given
more pleasure to an Orleans audience
than the one given by this company
here two years ago. The Dunbars are
quite in a class by themselves, not
only supplying an exceptionally good
male quartette, but as bell ringers they
are unsurpassed by any company in the
lyceum circuit. while their instrument
al music of violin, cello and piano is
always good and the impersonator and
reader one of the most versatile in
the business. There is spirit of
bright sparkling comedy throughout
their entire entertainment and none in
the audience is willing to have the
concert come to its final close. Little
need be said to the people Of Orleans
who heard this company when it was
here two years ago, and to those who
were not able to attend. the best ad-
vertisement we can give is ask the
people who did hear them. The opera
house should be filled to capacity and
certainly no one will regret having
been present after having heard this
most excellent entertainment.

OBJECTIONS TO COUNTY FARM ORDER
Refusal to Allow Kings Daughters to
Hold Services as Formerly
ArOuSeS a Protest.

After having been turned down
by the Board of Supervisors when
a committee from the Kings
Daughters went before the Board
last week and. asked for a larger
donation for the Sanitarium the
Kings Daughters were again sur
prised nay. may say shocked
when, on last Sunday afternoon, a
committee under the auspices of
the Kings Daughters visited the
County Farm in order to hold re-
Iigious service for the prisoners
and found that the prisoners had
been denied the privilege of COM
ing out of the cages for the service
and that the Committee had been
denied access to the cages. This
order, so the committee was in.
formed, was carried to those in au-
thority at TIE Farm by two men,
bers Of the Board of Supervisors in
person, Messrs. Brister and MoaK.
For the benefit of those who may
not know let me explain that the
work undertaken by the King S
Daughters at the Farm and carried
out every first and third Sunday by
committees going out and holding
services with those incarcerated
here has already had its good
effect. When the work was first
undertaken in the Spring some of
the prisoners, for several months.
refused to come out of the cages
and participate in the services and
it was the privilege then of the
different members Of the commit
tees to GO in and talk personally to
those who refused to come out.
Finally they all came out gladly
and each one became an interested
participant in the services which
are always held in the open direct
" in frent of one of the cages, the
prisoners from the other cages be-
ing allowed to ceme out and collect
1
in body underneath the trees that
the service might be held for all.
Now, by order of the Board. we
are not allowed to go in the cages
nor are the prisoners allowed to
come out. Was this an order en-
acted by a majority of the mem
bers of the Board or was it an or
der enacted by a minority Messrs.
Brister and Moak? We under
stand that the above two members
gave as the reason for their action
that there was too much danger in
letting the prisoners out of their
cages. If they will not allow the
inmates to come out. why is it that
they refuse to allow members of
the committee to 60 in and hold
their services on the inside? But
as to their danger Of escape iii
there any more danger in having
