INTERESTING NEWS FROM
CENTRAL SETTLEMENT

A few days ago Mrs. English made
the mistake Of taking spoonful Of
copperas for salts. She took an
emetic Of warm water and table salt
a id was soon relieved.
A negro named Clark from Albany
stole COW from another negro at
Century and carried her to town
where lie intended to sell her and
make raise. but before he could
scare up trade, a cop captured him
and the COW on suspicion. In a few
hours the owner Of the cow showed
up, and Clark broke into Jail. He
will doubtless do his milking in the
chain gang later. There are lot
more thieves down in this section
Who should be caught and put in the
chain ganp. These scamps have a
mania for stealing single trees, pillow
points, trace chains, lap rings,
+cleyises, heel pine, etc. One old
coon, who claims to be a preacher,
has box full Of pillow points that
n yer cost him cent, but ought to
cost him chain gang sentence.
The fellow who expected to wear
diamonds from the sale of water
melons is wearing a blue frown that
will not rub off.
There are some towns in Georgia,
at least they claim TO be, that do not
give a newspaper as much support
as could he obtained at a water tank.
Such towns, SO called Should be
nrons,.0d up, planted in grass and a
lot of billy goats turned on them to
Craze.
Officers Of the Lee County Fair
Association should either do gome-
thing, or resign and get out Of the
way SO other men can take their
places. This applies to the presi-
dent, vice-president and board Of
directors. True things look blue on
account OF crop prospects, but affair
should be held all the same.
Only few weeks ago crop pros
poets looked bully, but it is dis
tressing to look at them now. The
farmers have worked hard, lived
hard and will fail to get the reward
they are entitled to. Such is life.
The Red Bore baseball club will
have a game down on the creek this
Thursday afternoon. VIII report
result Of game next week.
A fairly good shower fell here
Tuesday afternoon, but it comes too
late for late corn, but will help cane,
peas and potatoes.
Farmers as a rule are feeling very
blue, but as class don t worry over
what they can't help. This present.
crop has not been an expensive one,
and they do not owe much money.
A county fair is one Of the best
advertisements a county get up. 1t
shows the visitor what is actually
done, Seeing is believing and no
talk is required to convince a man
that certain crops can be success

BE ARRANGED IN 1916
Worlds Series Will Be PLAYED
By Three Leagues Next
Autumn.
Special Dispatch to The Tribune.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune.
Chicago, Ill.,. Dec. 15-War between
the Federal league and organized base
ball, which started over two years ago,
and which resulted in the loss of more
than S1,O00.OOO, according to conserva-
tive estimates, came to an end tonight
when President Ban johnson of the
American league, announced that i
peace pact submitted Jointly by the
Outlaw" and National leagues, had
been accepted by the organization.
The Federal league was organized
about three years ago, and Il few
months later it literally raided the
two major leagues. Star players
jumped contracts to get some of the
fat salaries offered them by the Fed
eral magnates. Suits We're brought
to compel the players to fulfill their
contracts with the major leagues. but
in a majority of cases, the Federal
crowd won, charging the National and
American leagues with being a trust
The declaration of peace, which was
signed here tonight, places the Federal
league on the same plane with the
National and American Baseball Asso-
Citations.
The announcement of President
Johnson pulled several millionaireS
and a couple of near bankrupts out
of the trenches. The decision was
reached shortly after : o'clock, follow
ing a prolonged session of the Ameri-
can league clubs. during which the
proposed peace treaty was discussed.
The document was brought to Chicago
this morning by Barney DreyfusS
from New York. ..
Following his arrival in the city, he
announced that he believed the base
ball war, which had demoralized base
ball in all of the principal cities, would
be brought to happy conclusion.
The conclusion of the war means
that there will be triangle Of ma
jor leagues next summer. The Fed
eral league clubs will now be permit
ted to contest with the National and
American teams, and the world series
will be three cornered fight, begin
ming next autumn.

About a month ago, Whitener told
the Chief, he failed TO meet or en-
counter Beeve on the beat downtown.
Both men walk the same territory. He
looked for him all evening to no avail
About midnight he visited the Elks

and found Beeve asleep. Whitenor
turned out the lights and departed,

At 2 o'clock in the morning, Beeve
came walking down the street, White
ner said, rubbing his eyes.
where We you been?" Whitener
queried.
"Why, have been walking around
here on the streets or my beat" was
the reply, Whitener relates.
On other occasions, Beeve has spent
periods of several minutes in the club
rooms playing pool, Whitener said,
and one one occasion invited Whitener
to accompany him as 4 guest and play
q game in the club.

BASKET BALL MEET
in CAPE MARCH 10
High School Teams From South
east Missouri To Compete
For Honor.

A basket ball tournament including
teams from every high school in
Southeast Missouri is being organized
by the Athletic Association at the
Normal School.
The tourney will be held at the Nor
NAL School gymnasium on March 10
and II and the championship of high
school teams will be definitely settled
at that time.
Copies of the rules and regulations
for the tournament will be mailed to
principals of all the high schools in
the district covered by the Cape Nor
nal School. These circulars an
nouncing the contest and the rules will
be mailed today, President Dearmont
of the Normal School declared last
night.
The tournament is the first that
ever will have been held at the Cape
Normal, although it is common prac-
tice at many state universities to hold
statewide basket ball tournament,
when the state champions of both
boys and girls teams are decided.
The organization Of the tournament
at the Normal School grows out of a
meeting that the principals of the
Sikeston, Poplar Bluff and Charleston
High Schools held in Sikeston some
time ago. They made the proposal to
the Normal School Athletic AssOcia-
tion that it father the move for the
district tournament.
The board of directors of the ath-
letic association has had the project
under consideration for some time and
yesterday held meeting at which it
was discussed and rules for the tour
ney outlined.
The board came to no definite con-
clusion in regard to the organization
of the tournament, but President
Dearmont last night indicated that
the plan will be followed out in detail.
I 1t is not known how many high
schools will be represented at such a
tournament. The first year that the
tournament will be held, it will be in
an experimental stage and upon its
success in the first year, will depend
largely whether or not it will be con-
tinued as a permanent athletic feature
at the school.
The tournament will be an adver-
tising feature for the Normal School
and will attract many high school
students to the school. 1t is consid-
cred its principal advantage at other
schools where similar tournaments
are held annually.

lode Yarbrough,
AS A Detective,
.Gets Back Gun
Restaurant Man, In Role Of
Sherlock Holmes, Receivers
Rabbit Weapon That He
Left In the Middle Of The
Road.

| Ode Yarbrough, the Broadway res
taurant man, who lost his shotgun
while on a hunt three weeks ago, has
possession of it again. He recovered
his weapon by playing the part Of
Hawkshaw, the detective, at a farm.
house three miles west of Jackson
Tuesday afternoon.
While on a rabbit hunt three weeks
ago, Mr.. Yarbrough left his shotgun
in front of cornfeld, where he had
paused to confer with two young farm
ers concerning the rabbit crop. When
| he climbed out of his machine, he car
ried his shotgun, but the conversation
became so interesting that he propped
his weapon up against the rear of the
auto in order that he could make ies-
lures with both arms.
When the caucus ended, he climbed
into the machine and honked down
the road, forgetting that he had left
his shotgun behind. He did not dis
cover his loss until he got into the
! rabbit thicket. While he fractured
the speed laws getting back to the
scene of the conference, he found the
gun missing.
He asked the two farmers if they
had noticed stray shot gun loafing
in the road. but they assured him they
had not.
Wouldn't that sink your cork ,"
he remarked to Ed Beard, his compan-
ion.
YEA, verify" calculated Beard.
That ended the rabbit hunt. Var
brough did not say much on his way
back to the Cape, but his mind was
talking to itself. That is, Mr.. Var
brough was trying to figure out plan
to recover that shotgun.
"Ah, ha! l have it," he confded to
! himself. 81 shall wait until l believe
those two young fellows have forgot
ten how l look and then | shall swoOp
down upon them and demand the re-
turn of my gun"
Tuesday afternoon he motored out
to the farm house. A middle aged
lady responded to his knock at the
front door.
81 came to get that gun your two
sons picked IN in the bip road down
there three weeks ago." he COM
manded in a deep voice.
The woman paused a moment, then
replied: as it here, do you Think"
"Sure, it's here" he answered, "and
l have comet to get it."
At this point one of the young men
who had found the gun appeared at
the door. "You want that gun we
found in the road, did you say?"
"Sure. Come acrossw
The youth disappeared for mo-
ment and then returned, bringing Var
brough's weapon with him.
Hereafter when you find some
thing, advertise it." snarled Var
brough as he strolled away.
The mother and son felt they had
been properly rewarded by escaping
arrest, and darted back into the house
to be alone with their surging
thoughts.

Berlin. Dec. 15.-Responsibility for
continuance of the war must rest with
the allies. DR.. Karl Helfferich, Impe-
rial Secretary of the Treasury, told the
Reichstag, in discussing Germany's
finances.
Quoting from the Scriptures to drive
home his point, DR.. Helfferich pre-
dicted the downfall and dissolution of
the British Empire.
1--WE stand like rocks on the soil of
their home country" said DR.. Helffer-
ich, land on the columns of the British
Empire are written, in glowing letters,
the same words as on Belshazzar's pal
ace.
Responsibility for the blood which
will flow from now on, for the misery
which comes upon the world, for the
danger to which civilization is expos
ed, falls not upon Germany but upon
those who cannot resolve to draw the
conclusion from Germany's military
successes, which nobody can any more
dispute.
"The responsibility falls upon those
who, in foolish criminal allusion, still
now speak of Germany's 'annihilation
and partition and of winning a war
