WORK PROGRESSING NICELY

The work on the new streets is now
progressing nicely and the contrac-
tors expect to do a great deal within
the next few days.
In the Fifth Ward the contractors
are making good time on concretlng
the car tracks and will probably finish
all Of the track that is excavated this
week. The delay in the work has
been mostly in the excavating. After
the car track is concerted the work
will be delayed several days on ac-
count of the fact the little work is be-
ing done with the excavating.
In the Sixth Ward the work is con-
fined to laying the curb and to exca-
waiting. The excavating is being car
ried on at a rapid rate but is causing
some inconvenience on account Of in
terferrlng with the gas lines. The gas
main has been uncovered and several
of the branch lines have been torn up
by the digger.

BIG DAY IN POLICE COURT

In Police Court yesterday afternoon
eight drunks we're up before Judge
Whitaker. They received their doses
as follows:
Boone Yazell, drunk and disorderly,
$3.50.
Lee Spencer, drunk, $3.50.
John Wright, drunk, $3.50.
John Harrington, drunk and dlsor-
derby, $1,000.
Dan Coughlin, drunk, $3.50.
william Short, drunk, $3.50.
Rod Duley, drunk, $3.50.
The case OF Dave Barnes charged
with being drunk was postponed un-
I'll August 1 as he broke his arm dur
ing his celebration.
They say that Maysville is dry
town. IL has been voted as such and
1t is up to the police to see that no
whiskey is sold here. OF course, some
OF these men got their whiskey in Rip
ley but we would bet that several of
them have not seen Ripley for some
time. The police have caught several
of the worst bootleggers but there are
quite a number remaining.

OHIO STATE LEAGUE



That the Ohio State League will fin
ish the season is now almost an as
sured fact. When interviewed this
morning President Thomas M. Russell
OF the local team said that II no one
would take up the franchise of the
defunct Lexington team the League
would probably support team on Its
own hook. II a good city can be Sc
cured It is thought that the team will
practically be self supporting for the
rest of the season.
Ironton has been selected and Presi-
dent Gableman is in that city making
arrangements to place a team there.
Ironton is a good baseball town under
proper management and IL a team
could be located there the league
would undoubtedly finish the season
The team laid Off yesterday as they
were scheduled to play Lexington the
first four days of this week. The Lex
ington club had surrendered its fran
chise and the disposition of the play
ers had not been decided upon. The
local hackers Of the team got in COM
munication with Manager Guyn and
the old Lexington Colts will be here
this afternoon to play a game. Play
will be called at 3:15.
Altho the future of the league is not
known, Boosters Day will be had Fri
day. The committee started on their
campaign yesterday morning and had
not received a refusal up until the
time they had quit. This shows that
this city wants organized ball and they
are willing to pay for 1t. The attrac-
ton for Friday will probably be Chilli
cothe, altho the schedule for the re-
mainder of the season has not been vs.
sued.
Although the future of the league is
not positively known, Boosters Day
will be held at League Park Friday af-
ternoon. A local committee started on
campaign Monday morning and had
cothe, although the schedule for the
remainder of the season has not yet
been completed.
The only thing to do now is to wait
and see II team can be placed in
Ironton or some other Ohio city. Base
ball in Huntington is dead as far as
the Ohio State League is concerned
for the Huntington fans are quite in
censed over the treatment they re-
ceived from Lexington.
Lexington played unfair when it
made such a desperate effort to get
baseball for the rest of the season.
Huntington wanted a berth in the
league and would have obtained II had
it not been for the action of Lexing-
ton in refusing to sell its team to the
Boosters after the deal had practically
been completed.
The knockers are still with us how
ever. We have been told about teen
times that the park will not be opened
again for the league but thos people
had better adopt policy of watehful
waiting.

TAG DAY PROCEEDS TO BE SPLIT
FOR LEXINGTON PLAYERS

Lexington, KY, July 1S-The pro-
ceeds of tag days sales, made a week
ago in an effort to finance the Licking
ton baseball club for the remainder of
the season, will be split up among the
players who are now stranded in this
city without the finances to get them
home. This action was decided on at
a meeting held yesterday afternoon,
at which the sum of $40 was raised to
go toward the same cause.
1t is thought that the silver bat
and ball, offered by Victor Bogaret,
for the most useful player ON the Lex
ington team will be given to Biddy
Beers, who was leading by a big mar
gin when the votes were last totaled
Biddy left yesterday to report to Man
ager Clerk. of the Milwaukee Ameri-
can Association team. He is a wise
and useful catcher and will make the
Brewers a good man.
Inv hOOuo III inc southeast nave
made 1t impossible for Mcclellan to
get to Asheville. N. C. In fact the
ball ground in that town is said to
be under three feet of water and the
former Colt shortstop has received
message telling him to stay in Lex
ington until further notice. Shafer
will report to the Terre Haute Club
today and ROrer may possibly be sold
to the Louisville Colonies before
night.
As for the balance OF the bunch, no
word has yet been received from
President Joe Carr as to what they
must do.

SENATOR LARRAeEE UNDECIDED
Importance Of Legislation Should Elm
mate Senatorial Agreement.


Fort Dodge, Jan. 12.-Frederic Lar
rabee, state senator, today returned
from spending the Christmas holidays
at Clermont and recovering from an
accident to his knee which he suffered
recently. simultaneously he made his
first statement regarding the senator
ial fight which seems to be in fair
way to develop in 4 the Webster CAL
houn county district. He is as yet I'M
decided as to whether he will run
again, having nad the office eight years,
but is being urged to do so by certain
constituents who argue that some OF
the former legislators should be in the
new legislature. Some say that should
the chairman Of the appropriations
committee not return, Larrabee would
be ranking member of that committee.
Because many important measures that
were passed at the last session Of the
legislature require consideration at the
next session, men who were identified
with them should go back to complete
the work. Mr.. Larrabee says that tho
there has not been an agreement be-
tween Webster and Calhoun counties
to divide senatorial honors, and under
ordinary circumstances it would now
be Calhoun's turn, the fact that CAL
houn recently was chosen for the state
institution plum, rather changes the
aspect Of the situation. Calhoun county
papers have already announced that
they present p. G. Holdoegel. of Rock
well City, as their candidate for the
office and it looks much as if there
will be a contest on in this district, as
Larrabee's record has been excellent
and Holdoegel Is man exceptionally
fitted for the place. A peculiar exist.
ing condition Is that the mems friends
are practically Identical.
