CHANCE MAY LEAD CUBS
Former Chicago Manager Again May
Take Helm

Chicago, Oct. 3.--It Is stated in
baseball circles that Fred Mitchell will
not be retained as manager Of the Chi
cago Cubs next year. Mitchell turned
out pennant winner last season, but
the failure of the Cubs to repeat dur
ing the recent campaign has made the
owners of the club decide to engage
some one else.
William Veeck, former Chicago
newspaper man, who is president of the
Cubs, has assumed a mysterious air
and will not discuss the report that
Mitchell Is to go, but the insiders. who
generally know what they are talking
about, say that not only will Mitchell
withdraw but also there will be a sur
prise for the fans In the engagement
of Frank Leroy Chance to succeed
Mitchell as the leader of the Chicago
team.

TWOMORE PRECINCTS
IN COUNTY GO over
and WIN HELMETS
Minerva and the Second Ward In the
City Of Maysville Reach Their
Quotas and Take the Last
Two Captured German

Secretary W. W. Ball, Jr., of the Ma
son County Victory Loan committee,
announced this afternoon that all of
the seven captured German helmets
which had been allotted to Mason coun-
ty had now been won. The last two
helmets were issued the chairmen of
the Second Ward of the City of Mays
vile and Minerva precincts today,
those two precincts reporting their
entire quota reached.
Local banks have been selling many
of the Victory Notes today, the Secre-
tary has been advised but the bankers
were so busy this afternoon handling
the Victory Loan rush that they were
unable to get their figures out before
the Public Ledger went to press.
From the manner in which the peo-
pie Of the city of Maysville have been
purchasing bonds during the last week
the managing committee feels certain
that the city will have passed its quota
before the middle of next week.
Total S; les to date are $462,300.

.FRYMAN SENTENCED TO
TWO YEARS IN PENITENT|ARY
Only One Criminal Sentenced to Peni.
tentiary Term ut Close Of the
March Term OF Circuit Court.

The March term of the Mason Cir
cult Court came to a close this after
noon with much business transacted.
The last day of court term is always
a very busy one but this was an un-
usually busy last day.
There was but one prisoner to be
sentenced and he was William Fryman
convicted Of stealing from common
carrier In inter state transit. Fry
man was sentenced to a term of two
years in the state penitentiary, Judge
Newell overruling the motion Of his
attorneys for new trial.
Although there was much business
transacted during the day, probably
the most important was the sentence
and the overruling of the motion for a
new trial in the case of Gault vs.. Car
penter which was an appeal from the
lower courts. This case will probably
go to the Court of Appeals.
Alimony in the sum of 5000 was
awarded the plaintiff in the divorce
suit of Carrie F. Colvin VS.. Jesse B.
Colvin. This alimony is merely tenn
porary pending the trial of the case.
Pickett Marshall convicted by Jury
on a charge of seduction and given a
penitentiary term of one year, was
granted a new trial by Judge Newell
and released on his own recognizance
for appearance at the next term OF
court.
David Warfield, who entered a plea
of guilty on a charge of forgery, was
sentenced by Judge Newell to the
State School of Reform to remain un.
til he is 21 years of age. The boy is
now II.

The Venice, Calf, Vanguard says:
After a short illness, Mrs. Mildred
Louise Cummins, wife Of Col. 7. F.

For a number Of years Mrs. Cum
Minis made her home In Venice, where
she was beloved by all who knew her.
Her late residence here was at 1715
Trolleyway.
Funeral services will be conducted
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
from the undertaking parlors Of
Bresee Brothers and Todd, Lorelei
avenue, Venice. Interment will be
made in Woodlawn cemetery.
Mrs. Cummins was a woman of ex-
ceptionally fine character and attain
ments. She was woman whom to
know was to love An affectionate
and devoted wife and mother, who
knew no wrong and could see no
wrong. She was born in Kentucky
forty-five years ago and much of her
live had been spent in travelling. She
was what might well be termed a
womanly woman, whose life had been
devoted more to the happiness of 9TH
ers than her own.
Since the birth of her daughter,
Mrs. Cummins's life had been center
ed in her future, and she and her
daughter were inseparable. No moth
er ever besto~ ed more love on her
family than d . Mrs. Cummins. Her
husband and laughter, who survive
her, were her Il. In this, the hour
of their affliction and sorrow, they
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity.

Not Permit System NOw-ROad
Tax Is Needed.

In 1914 there were about 40 automo-
biles and probably six trucks operat-
ing In Mason county. Today there are
about 800 autos In the county and pro-
badly fifty trucks, not to mention the
hundreds of autos and trucks coming
from the adjoining counties. And the
truck traffic Is many times as hard on
the road than the steel tired vehicles,
and, of necessity, 1t takes twice as
much repair work to keep the road in
good condition.
There is no permanent macadam
road and, of necessity, 1t takes con-
>stant repair to ward off ruts and holes.
The patrol system must of necessity
follow; but shortage Of funds. at this
time, prohibits that.
In nine years time fine system or
pixies can be built up with sufficient
funds; but with insufficient funds our
roads will go back each year, and,
finally, we would have to go down in
our pockets and pay for rebuilding.
Vote the extra tax and We will have
good roads and owe no bonds and be
happy.
The highways in the city are
charged to the abutting property hold
er, and on each 100 it. lot he pays
$500 for the new street; besides, he
pays his city tax rate of $1.5O per $1OO
and pays his county tax of about 95
per 800.
A 100 acre farm abutting the turn
pike pays a total road tax, including
the extra tax, of $50 per year, and this
is one-third of your total tax paid dur
ing the year. Do you want Good
Roads? It takes money to get them.
