Two interesting ball games
were played Monday and Tues.
day afternoons respectively by
the Hugo team. The game Mon
day was with Colgate and Kept
the fans on edge until the last
man was out. Hugo started the
scoring in the first inning. Jack
knoblaach was the first man M
and polled out a three Dagger
and followed by Herman Knob.
LAUGH with another, scoring
later on another hit. Colgate
crossed the pan twice in the sec.
ond inning. In the fourth in
ming a bunch Of hits and errors
gave Hugo five more runs, and
they annexed another in the
eighth. Colgate was unable to
score until the seventh when
they got two across and another
in the ninth. The final score
was: Hugo, 8, Colgate, s., Jones
and Peterson worked for Hugo
and Smith and Apple for
Colgate. @. W. Moores umpired.
In spite OF the threatening
clouds the game was called Tues.
day afternoon before a fair sized
crowd, quite a number being
over from Clifford to cheer their
boys on to victory. Both sides
hit freely in the opening innings
but Clifford played in hard luck
and was unable to hit in pinches.
Hugo did better and secured
four runs early in the game. In
the fifth inning Clifford sent
three men around on hits and
errors and then rain started and
Umpire Alexander called the
game. Jones and Peterson again
worked for Hugo and Earnest
and Schmidt for Clifford.
The ball game last evening be-
tween Sherbrooke and the Steele

one sided with everything IN

CHAUTAUQUA CLOSED
LAST EVENING

lASI eveN|U6
Hopes First Course Proved to 10 a Big
Success and Everybody Pleased.
Last Saturday morning opened
with very unfavorable weather
conditions for Chautauqua and
when tho downpour started in
the afternoon the hackers of the
course began to feel blue. How
ever, in spite of the rain, a good
ly number were on hand for the
opening program given by the
Lawson Trio followed by an adj
dress by Mr.. Kelly. From that
time on the attendance kept in.
creasing and it is estimated that
there were over $500 admis-
sions to the ten programs, the
r' r
weather, with one exception, be-
all that one could ask for. The
mosquitoes were rather bad but
the work of the smudge commit
tee, who did all that was possible
to drive the pests away and used.
large quantities of oil on their
breeding places, helped some.
1t is impossible for us to enter
into a detailed description of the
entire ten programs, and it is
needless, for practically every
reader of the paper attended at
least a large share of the pum-
bers and would realize our power
of description we're entirely in
adequate to do justice to splen-
did entertainment, to say moth
ing of the educational value of
the course. Some numbers ap-
pealed to one person and some
to another, and we have heard
various opinions stated as to
which was the big number and
we feel perfectly safe in saying
that every program on the course
has some supporter who will in
sist that it was the best. This
Is one of the gratifying features
OF a course of this kind, there is
bound to be something that will
appeal to somebody and every
one who has attended has re-
ceived something of educational
value that can never be taken
from them.
We feel that special mention
is due to the children's work in
the morning play hour. This
work was crowded for time DIV.
ing to the rain and the fact that
they did not meet on Sunday
but nevertheless every child who
possessed a season ticket was
on hand regularly and took an
active interest in the stunts and
worked hard to win the hOnors
offered The success of this fea-
ture is due to the work of the
winsome play supervisor, Miss
Grace Vollmar, and it is hoped
that she will be with the course
next season.
W. also feel that special men
tiop is due to Mr. F. A. Wild
man, the superintendent. He is
recognised as one of the best
men on the circuit and the salts
factory manner in which the
course was presented confirms
the report of his ability.
A meeting of the business
linen was held yesterday and the
Formally of signing the contract
for next years course was COM
pleted and the people are prom
ised as good a Chautauqua next
season, and maybe a little better
if su Oh a thing is possible.

DOUGLAS POLICE JUDGES
 STORE IS eUReLARizEo

DOUGLAS. Dec. 2S.- The news store of R. R. Hubbard. on Front Street Douglas, was burgIarlzed last night. by some unknown party who secured st0.50 and SS.cclibre revol- yer.
 The money. was in a small cash reg lster near the front cf the store. The burglary was unusually daring Entry Co the building was mnde by prying out @ pane ol glass ia the rear door while the front was entirely open. There were not even shades over the windows. and there was an electric light burning Tn the rear of the store. The burglar then secured the cash register and carried 1t Co the little of- flee in tho rear of the store and pried off the front and removed the money. He could easily have been seen from the street had any one been looking The revolver was in Q drawer Of a. cabinet in the office Nothing else was molested. and SO far as could be ascertained nothing else was taken from the store except a small box Of candy. The cash register was worth about S65 and .s SO badly smashed up that it is practically worthless. W. A. Shafer. chief of police and Dep uty U. S. Marshal Frank Bach were notified this morning as soon as the crime was discovered. and they im- mediately went Co work on the case. One suspect has been arrested. but it seems there is no definite clue connecting him with the case. There were plain foot prints where the man stood in the snow at the rear of the building. He wore about a number eight shoe. with military heel and fancy somewhat stubby cap on the toe. No other clues have been dis covered
