The most intense heat produced by

Aside from lighting. the most useful
purpose to which the electric arc has
been put is in the mending Of broken
or cracked castings and metal parts OF
all kinds. A broken shaft. for instance,
can be resurrected from the junk heap
if a skilled workman. with adequate
arc apparatus. is given chance at it.
Moreover. a broken metal piece repair

ExHAUSTlNG A SUBJECT.
A Satiricai Hint to Both Young and
Old Writers.

Old Writers.
Writers should early learn not to try.
to exhaust a subject. If there is one
thing above another thing that a SUBJ
ject Will not stand for it is to be ex-
hausted. 1t is the one tireless thing ex-
tant. In every other way subjects are
amiable and tractable.
If you go, at subject in the right
spirit you can say nearly anything you
wish about it, but Immediately you try
to get rope around subjects neck
and chase it around ring until it is
absolutely used up the said subject
takes on dry, logged, stubborn air
and refuses to be interesting, and of
course a writer who cannot keep his
subject interesting is lost
Think of the most uninterestins
books you ever read. They were writ.
ten by men who quite evidently sat
down with the mental resolution
''Now. I'll just clean up on this sub
ject once and for all, so that it will
henceforth be clear to all posterity
even unto the day of Judgment" But
Of course no such aim was ever real
lied.
The only sure result of trying to ex
haust a subject is to prove that it il
exhaustless.-Life. s

Beware Of debt, is a good slogan.
But occasionally it is necessary to go
in debt to better conditions. A farmer
is justified in borrowing money to i'm
prove his farm and increase his herd;
he will make money by so doing. The
merchant borrows money to add to his
stock of merchandise when he can buy
to advantage. And it may we'll pay a

0CILVIE DEFEATED
Princeton Ball Team TrOunces the
j! ~. -
Speedy Ogilvie Aggregation r.:
By 3 to 0 Count.
Game is Staged at Fair, Grounds
Michaud's Hurting Features
the Thrilling Contest.

The Princeton ball team still has a
percentage Of 1000 in the State Far
independent Base Ball association, and
the indications are that it will be IN
at the finish when the state champion
ship is decided.
Last Sunday "Pongo's" FASTENERS
downed the powerful Ogilvie aggre-
cation after one of the most exciting
contests ever staged on the local dla-
mond. The final score was 3 to 0.
1t was pitchers battle between
Michaud for Princeton and Kern for
Ogilvie, and the local southpaw had
the best Of the argument all the way
through. He was in the best of con-
dition and his speedy slants kept the
opposing batsmen swinging like
gate at all stages. Only two lonely
bingles were garnered off of his de-
livery, and ten Of the visiting willow
wielders famed the breeze. A credit
able performance. Skahen was at
the receiving station and worked in
big league style.
For seven snappy innings the two
teams battled to an to 0 tie, but in
the eighth frame Galley broke it up
by clouting out a two-cushion liner to
center field. Umbehocker and Jes-
mer, who had each hit safe, preceded
him on the paths and both passed the
tabulating rubber on the blow. Galley
was caught at home on Skahen's field
er's choice, but Skahen also counted
before the side was retired.
NOTES.
1t was whale of a contest, and
those who missed it have reason to
regret it.
Plaas as umpire in chief and Van
Rhee of Milaca, giving base decisions,
proved eminently satisfactory as ar
bitrators.
Jesmer nicked Kiern's offerings for
three bingles. Galley had two to his
credit and Mallette and Umbehocker
one each.
The Princeton ball team is travel
ing at top speed just now, and Man.
ager Olson can promise the fans some
lively contests.
Michaud stands ace high with
local fans Twice has he appeared in
a Princeton uniform, and delivered
shutout ball. Real class.
Princeton's fast and clever infeld
never showed up better than last Sun
day, and the custodians of the outer
gardens also distinguished themselves
Galley has put two games on ice fol-
Princeton with his formidable blud-
geon now, and besides he plays the
game all the time. He is a valuable
man.
Next Sunday another thrilling exhi
bition will be staged at the fail
grounds. "Pongo" Olson is negotiating
with couple of fast aggregations ane
a hummer Of contest is assured.
The attendance was good last Sun
day, but not what it should have been
Most towns would pay handsome
bonus for being represented on tn
diamond by as classy an aggregation
as Princeton boasts Of. Give the boy
a lift and keep the base ball spiri
alive.

TRIBUNE MAKES
CORRECTION OF STORY OF
Mr.. EATON'S ARREST

When we saw the statements IN
the Tribune yesterday morning rela-
five TO the arrest of Hon. 0. M.
Eaton. we thought there was scme-
thing fishy about them, and inquiry
verified this impression. The re-
port was incorrect in almost every
Particular. Mr.. Eaton was not ar
rested for speeding, but for the mon
strous crime of turning on his mead
lights while traversing dark part
of the street coming out OF tampa
He was outside of the city OF Tampa
when the officer hailed him, ana as
no had no jurisdiction there Mr.
Eaton very properly declined to go
back to Tampa with him. rms &C.
curred on September I'd. The petty
officer oyer-zealous, and ANXIOUS %
make some reputation for himself by
arresting a prominent person, lay III
;+ Cor Mr. Eaten. and finally ar
rostod him on Wednesday, while ne
uoS ,uncbing at Hutto's Drug store
rhis officer was very officious ana
oova Mr. Eaton a great deal OF IN
necessary trouble and humiliati9h'
and Mr. Eaton is seriously consider

out the real facts, it made a prompt
correction of its original article, as
all reputable papers cheerfully dol
The Tribune printed the following
statement this morning:
Friends of Former Mayor o. M
Eaton, of Lakeland, are indignant
ever the treatment accorded the pop
|ular Polk county citizen by the po-
lice of this city, in connection with
his arrest Wednesday by Officer New
CITY and the subsequent happenings.
They declare that Officer Newcity
and some other attaches of the po-
lice department went out of their
way to make Mr. Eaton uncomfortr
able and that the affair which had
its origin in the fact that Mr.. Eaton
turned on the headlights of his car
on the dark stretch of roadway on
Seventh avenue, between Twenty
second street and the city limits, the
night of Sept. 2, could have been
settled at that time but for the ar
bitrary action of Officer Newcity.

fair yesterday and found that the
statement of Mr.. Eaton's friends are
horne ont bv the facts Tampa Tri-
bune.
