It Is said that Willie Hoppe makes $25,000 a year manipulating the ivories. but many a baseball magnate makes more than that at the same game. The Federal league sent an offer to Christy Mathowson, showing that the press agent isnot loafing on the job, Canton, Ohio, offers to stage a scrap between I'avkey McFarland and Miko tiililions, It is now up to Omro, Wis., to put in bid for one of the world's series guides, Yagotta hand It to the English sport ing exports fur their keen powers if observation. They have discovered that baseball is a faster game thnn cricket. The proposal to force the Cardinals out of major league 1 nsoball shows that some persons put themeslves to a lot of unnecessary trouble. , Lube Collins (whoever he la) announces through the public prints that ho will stieli to tho Winona, Minn., team nnd leave the Federal league flat on its ver tebrae. After falling to meot for sovoral days the Federul league has recovered from its slump and is meeting in its old-tiiiib form. We wondered what led to the break between Hornog and Mcflraw until Charlio confessed that ho was tho dis coverer of John Franklin Baker.

WARFARE ON FLYS TO BE Aid of Every Man, Woman and Child to Be Enlisted at Once in Campaign Against Pests. LECTURES IN SCHOOLS OF CITY DURING NEXT FEW DAYS Market to B Arranged by Promotion Department of Commercial Club ' for Flys Bounded Up. "Swat the fly" will be the slogan in Salem from now on, and that pestifer ous little insect is sure going to get what is coming to him,- if the plans, which were made yesterday afternoon by a special committee are successfully carried out. The committee which was selected by the promotion department of the Com mercial club to prepare for the battle with the Salem fly is composed of Dr. W. B. Morse, Professor Earl Kllpatrick, Ralph Moores and Fred 8. Bynon, The members got very busy yesterday af ternoon and decided not to wait a day to begin the war on the pests, with the result that every pastor, school tcachor, corporation head, school child, mother, farther, club and socioty in Salem will soon be called upon to assist in making the capital a flyless city. Fly Lectures. The committee decided to ask eight doctors, eight business men and eight teachers to give lectures in the eight ward schools within the next few dayB o nthe fly. These lectures will be along lines showing the real nature of the pest, and requesting the school children to take -an active part in rid ding the city of them. A market is to be arranged by the promotion department, and so much per fly or pounds of the pests will be giv en tho school children. The pupils will be furnished with a little bottle, and when they succeed in getting the recep tacle full, they can present it to the promotiojn (ojpartmcnt secretary and receive a reward. In this way it can be-readily seen that fly scalp hunting will be a favorite sport among the children. The Six O'clock club will be asked to discuss the fly question and spread the news about the city in order that every one will have a clear idea of what tho work will mean in tho future. Fly Exhibit. Tho committco is planning to prepare a fly exhibit, which will be installed in one of tho most, prominent places in the city. This exhibit will demonstrate to the public just what the fly is doing to ward spreading disease and creating a very harmful condition in the homes. Tho insects will lie shown clustered around infant food containers, in milk cans and how they distribute filth from many different sources. Fly Bwatters nro to be handed out free to everybody within the next week and tho "fly swatting" talk will give politics a hard race for popularity when the work is liuim-hcd in good shape. ROLLER SKATING. She was very stout and was lenruiiu; roller skating, when she had the mis fortune to fall. Several attendants rushed to her side, but wero unalilo to raise her at once. One said, soothingly; "We'll get you up all right, madam. lo not bo alarmed," "Oh, I'm not alarmed at all, but your floor is so terribly lumpy." And then from underneath came a smnll voico which said: "I'm not a, lump; I am an attend ant." SHOULD GO TO CITY, DISTRICT 03 STATE, ACCORDING TO THE AT TORNEY-GENERAL. Two opinions were rendered, by the atterney-general this morning; one to W. H. Singler, sheriff of Jackson coun ty, to the effect that the interest ou taxes belonged to the district, city, or sate, and not t the counties, which heretofore it seems, has grabbed all the penalties due from delinquent taxes. The attorney-general holds that these penalties should be divided in propor tion to the tax. The city should get the penalty arising from delinquency in paying the city tax and the road dis trict state or school district should each get its portion of the penalty. Mr. Spences, a justice of the peace, was told that where a crime or mis demeanor was committed in a union school house belonging to districts in two counties that the justice in thi county wher,e the school house was lo cated would have' jurisdiction alone. GROWNUPS ALSO SKATE YOUNG LADIES FIND CEMENT SIDEWALKS IDEAL FOR PLEAS ANT OUTDOOR PASTIME Now that the tango has worn off at the edges considerably and the fad makers are working overtime to create something new, two local young ladies, ono a teacher at the Salem high school and the other an employe et the state house, have at last got a toe hold on Dame Fashion. This flurry in society circles of Salem came about several nights ago when a business man apd his wife, residing in East Salem, received an unexpected call from the young la dies in question, but said young lsdiefc would not go in the house. In fact they couldn't go in, as they were both wear ing roller skates, and were not up to the sirt of gliding up steps. According to the business man, tangoing is not in it with roller skates, and the young womon could be seen whirling about the paved streets in the moonlight, and seemed to be having a great time, with the oxception of gotting a fall or two. Mr. Business man is figuring on pur chasing a pair of rollers now and giving a skating tea. Y TELLS WHY THERE HAS BEEN DELAY IN DELIVERY OF PLATS OF SALEM AND VICINITY. The following statement will be of interest: "The Heald Mnp company desires to explain why delivery has not been made on tho plats of Salem and vicinity. "Last fall, when we contemplated this work, it was on a much' snmlli r scale thnn it later developed into. For instance, nt. first wo intended to show only 24 townships in the vicinity pint. We nro going to show -12, almost donlile. We are also showing more de tail than was first intended. All this takes time. At present wo have tho Snlem pint ready for the engravers. The vicinity plat is about two-third fin ished. We are trying to give the people of Snlem tho very best that time and expense enn produce. Had we been dis posed to turn out cheap, inaccurate work, and rushed i unduly, we coul I have hud it ready somo time ago, but thnt is not our way of doing business. It is impossible ut the present time to tell you just when our pints will lie fin ished, but it will be in as short a time as possible consistent with good work."

HAS FASTED 82 DAYS Louis Beilfu8s, a German, residing in North Salem, has fasted for 82 days, this day included, according to his own statements this morning, The man de clares he has not eaten a bite of food during that time, and that he has sub sisted solely upon water. Friends of BeilfuBs doubt the story, saying that the man's mind is some what deranged on account of being ill for several years. Beilfuss has appear ance of a man who has not had anything to eat for some time, his face being thin and drawn, and his body showing signs of emaciation. According to the foot er's closest friends, he is not in his right mind, and they hardly believe he has not touched food for the time he claims. However, acquaintances of Beilfuss are not in the position to actually prove the man's story not true. MANY MEXICANS (Continued on page four.) Villa Cleans His Rifle.
