MASS MEETING
At CITY HALL
THURS. NIGHT
MAYOR HAS A PROPOSITION TO
SUBMIT TO THE CITIZENS THAT
WILL INSURE PERMANENT
HIGHWAYS IN COUNTY.

Mayor Mullen has called a mass
meeting of the citizens to meet at the
city hall tomorrow night at s o'clock
to consider with him a matter that is
of vital Importance to the city and
county.
The question of keeping the roads
in passable condition since Ardmore
was frontier town, has been one that
has caused the business men of the
city considerable worry and no little
expense. The mayor and board of
county commissioners have at last
agreed upon a plan whereby the roads
leading out of this city every direc-
ton can be made permanent and
eliminate all future worry.
The oil fields of this county mean
a lot to the city and a good road from
here to them, is necessary if we are
to maintain trade with them. The oil
operators have always been generous
in their contributions toward making
the roads passable, but only in tenn
porary way. Now the citizens of this
city and county have an opportunity
of having a permanent highway built
and the mayor desires the citizens of
the city to meet with him tomorrow
night to discuss the matter.
The meeting will be called to order
promptly at 500 o'clock, and the en-
tire matter can be disposed of in
thirty minutes if every citizen is on
time.

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Oct. 14.-Cattle re-
ceipts today were of moderate vol
ume, some 80 cars, or 1000 head, as
against 2,209 a week ago and GAL
the corresponding day a year ago.
Falling off in supplies acted as a
tonic to the market for killing cattle
and the declining tendencies We're
checked, disposal of anything at all
useful being quoted steady with the
previous day.
Big outgo of stock cattle to the
country relieved the congestion in
this branch of the trade and not only
was there a better tone to trade, but
good classes of steers and heifers
were quoted fully 10 a 15c higher.
Common kinds were still hard to
move and no better than steady.
Market for hogs showed a develop
ment of strength, most sales being re-
ported as 10 a 15c higher. Top for
the day landed at $3.50. while the
bulk of the sales ranged from $50
@S.30.
Steady release was had for both
killing and feeding grades of sheep.
Tone to trade was healthy.

A Squeeze PLAY
PRETTY WHEN SUCCESSFUL, But
RIDICULOUS WHEN A
FAILURE.

Billy Evans in st. Nicholas Maya
zine: The squeeze play Is one OF the
preftiest In baseball when successful.
When ii fails, no play makes a ball
team look more foolish. The play Is
best worked with one out, a runner
on third, and a run needed to either
tie or win the game. Many OF the
best base runners, when about TO
make the play, create the impression
that there il no intention OF pulling
Il. by taking only a fair lead off h
base and standing still. The very
moment the pitcher starts his move
ment the man on third tears for the
plate. If in any way the intention 20
use the play is tipped off or foreseen
IL is an easy matter for the catcher
TO break IL up by calling for a waste
ball thai Is so wide OF the plate that
IL Is impossible for the batter 70 bunt
II. Ii il an easy matter 10 touch The
base runner out and make the team
trying the squeeze play appear ridicu-
lous. But a successful completion OF
the play usually puts the team In the
field IN the air, and makes them look
equally foolish.
The Zee play Toes not call for
a hard hitter or a good hitter, but u
does call for a man with a good eye,
a fellow who invariably hits the ball,
even though IL may not go safe.
There are a good many players on the
Athletics who are better hitters than
Jack Barry. averages considered. yet
Barry Is the peer of them all In pull
Ing the squeeze play. IL seems that
no matter how bad the pitch may be.
Barry Is always able TO connect with
the ball. In a majority of the cases
he places 1t on the ground, which IS
so necessary for the play to be a
success. If the batsman hunts the
ball in the air, an easy double play
is usually the result. If he is able to
keep the ball on fair ground there l.
seldom a chance to stop the run at
the plate. IL II not necessary TO have
a fast man on third to make this
play. for most of the play depends
on the ability of the batsman TO Keep
the ball on the ground.

Freak Of Nature Attracts Attention of

Plankinton, Oct. 14.-Hundreds of
people are visiting a spot near the
county line between Plankinton and
washington Springs to inspect a
curious freak of nature. Nearly an
acre Of land has dropped a distance
of seven feet below its former level.
No reason for the phenomenon Is
known, unless the dropping OF the
land was caused by an underground
body of water washing away the
stratas underneath the top soil and
permitting it to take the drop OF
seven feet. A further drop is ex-
pected.
