SPIRITED CONTEST BY

The c. H. S. lads went down in de-
feat last night in holly contested
basket ball game with M. B. A. by a
final score of Is to 10.
The M. B. A. Quintette was a little
too fast for the locals and their man
agement of the ball showed indica-
lions of lifetime practice in the gym.
Each man was AN athlete and the
complete mastery of each position
showed at the end of the first half
that the High school boys had taken
on an overdose. However, the locals
played good ball and fast ball, but
lacked the practice of the opposing
team. They were unable to break up
the short passes which the M. B. A
boys depended upon for the posses
sion of the ball Each team played
vigorously and the game was close
enough to be interesting from the
start to the finish
Between the halves of the boys
game, the first and second teams Of
the Girls Athletic association entered
the ring in a hot fight for the laurelS
of victory. At the end of the game
the score was tied to s. The girls

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 23.-John
Hall, 4S, an ironworker, fought pis-
toll duel with his wife, Della, aged 81,
at their home, 800 East Washington
street, last night. AS a result, the
husband is dead, daughter, Leila, 10,

The Halls, according to neighbors,
had lived together for nineteen years,
and had never been known to quarrel.

Hall residence. While Hall was eat.

wife met him at the door and told him
If he entered the room she would kill
him. He did not heed her warning,
but drew his own weapon, entered the
room and opened fire.
Both man and wife used army pis

as was the daughter. He died almost
instantly, while the daughter died two
hours later at the hospital Mrs. Hal
was shot four times, each bullet from

SAFE YIELDS MONEY
NAME IS CLEARED
SECRET SPRING REVEALS $40
MISSED SO YEARS AGo-eLERK
WRoNoFuLLY SUSPECTED.

DAVENPORT, Ia. Feb. 19.-The
mere touching Of secret spring re-
leasing a hidden drawer in an old
postoffice safe, revealing $34O in cur
rency, has cleared the black stain
covering for so years the name of
Edward Elliott, once a trusted en-
ploye of the Government in the Uni
ted States revenue office at Indian
apolis, Ind. At his modest home In
the interior of Idaho, where he, years
ago, settled on a claim, Elliott, now
gray-haired and aged, learned with 10y
that the suspicion directed toward
him following the mysterious disap-
pearance of the money had been
wiped away.
When the shortage was discovered
he was forced to make up the deficit
from his own savings. He was unable
to make a satisfactory explanation of
the mysterious disappearance of the
money A few years later he left the
Government service and settled on his
present claim in Idaho.
A few days ago, John Ohde, a clerk
in the Davenport postoffice, in put
ting away registered mail in the old
safe, accidentally touched the spring
which released the hidden drawer and
the mney. He turned his find over
to Postmaster Fred Sharon.
Postoffice inspectors Immediately
began to trace the travels of the old
safe. Digging into the Government
records of so years, they found the
safe had at one time been In the In
dianapolis postoffce. Records can
not explain why the money was never
found in the secret compartment, bu
it is thought one Of Elliott's assist
ants unwittingly put it there and for
got the incident
Postal authorities at Washington
have been asked to turn over the con
tents Of the secret drawer to Elliott.

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS
Patented Process Is Responsible for
Its international Popularity.

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette
tobacco that they often marvel that
this one brand could be so differ
emit from all others
The answer to this question is to
be found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you
will read: Process Patented July
30th, 1907" That tells the whole
story. Prince Albert is made by a
patented process that cuts out the
bite and parch, which makes the
tobacco so mighty agreeable and
satisfying to men of every taste of
every civilized nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and for
tune in money to perfect. But the
result has proven to be worth all that
was expended upon It, because it
has set free men who believed they
never could enjoy a pipe or a makin's
cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible
for every man to smoke a pipe or to
roll his own cigarettes. And, nc
matter how tender the tongue
Prince Albert cannot bite OF parch
That is cut out by the patented pro
cess, leaving for the smoker only the
joys of the fragrant tobacco.
It is a fact that since Prince AL

ago, it has made three men smoke

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 22.-An earth
tremor of slight but distinct nature
that made itself felt throughout Geor-
gia, North and South Carolina, Vir-
ginia, and portions of Eastern Ten
nessee and Alabama, WAS reported
early last night as having been felt
about 5:45 p. m. the central time Mon
day In no case was any damage re-
ported, and while in some instances
persons hurriedly left buildings, there
was nothing in the nature Of panic.
The only seismograph known to be
in the section affected by the tremor
is at Mobile, Ala, where the instru-
ment recorded brief shocks. Most re-
ports agreed that the tremor passed
from east to west and was felt only
moentarily. In Augusta, Ca, and sew
eral other places, however, three dis
tinct shocks were reported. At other
points only one tremor was felt
The earth shock either did not
reach Florida or was so slight as not
to be felt there, according to reports
here last night.
The earth tremor passed from east
10 west and was only momentary, &C
cording to those who felt it. Many
buildings were slightly shaken
throughout Atlanta, but in no case
was there any panic or disorder
There is no seismograrh in Atlanta OF
vicinity, and C. F. Van Ee. rmann, sec
tion director in charge of the loca

at the time, stated he did not know o.
the shock until persons began to cal
