It appears that Stocks and Beverly were negotiating a trade and Beverly, before the deal had been satisfactorily completed, took the other man's horse and traded it again. Moreover, the horse which Beverly gave to Stocks in exchange is more of a candidate for the oil works than its owner would admit when the deal was making. The defendant took a change of venue to Justice Geib, and was held under $100 bonds to appear before the grand jury.

Engineer Calkins Returns. Frank Calkins, the well-known engineer of the Illinois Central railroad on the south end, returned home from Bloomington last evening, where he has been confined in a hospital for several weeks, due to an injury sustained at that place some time ago. With a team that went into the game on crutches and narrowly escaped coming away on a stretcher, the Pretzels suffered another feather to be clipped from the wing of victory at Beloit. Karnell went behind the bat with an ankle that would not permit him to run a step, Klock officiated at second with an eve so badly out of gear that he 'could scarcely see, Schneiberg remained in Freeport flat on his broad back at the hospital, Scotty made the start and went to the bench in the seventh inning with an ankle in worse condition, if possible, than that of Karnell. Such was the crippled and almost thoroughly demoralized much which went up against a hard fought 15 inning bout with Bubser's jinglers and lost out by a final score of 6 to 5.

Up to the time of the disaster which retired Scott there was little room for doubt as to the outcome. Ihe score at the seventh stood 4 to 1 in favor of Mai's men and they were banging Bubser's to every corner of the lot. The ex-Three-1" man was receiving support with gold-leaf edges however, ancl, although the score shows Freeport up with 15 hits, it was simply excellent fielding, which knocked clown a number of 14-carat hits, ancl prevented the figures from giving the locals a total of about 35 wallops. When Scotty slid to second in the first half of the seventh and let the ginger flow out of his right ankle Easton was elected to fill the gap at the slab. He did well, considering that he had twirled a hard bout the day before, until he reached the ninth stage of the-eventful history.

A few costly chances which' we're not handled well, added to a timely hit, brought about a garrison finish for the ninth in which Beloit tied the score. It was a sort'of a repetition of Sunday's game here with a stronger comeback by the field forces of Malven. The 'captain will go in today to make a notch in the Freeport bowie handle and barring further interference by the ambulance staff, the remainder of the series will go to the local credit side. Yesterday's attendance was not remarkable for size. With careful management of the gate receipts enough should be saved from the Licensed to Wed.

Bach's orchestra la acknowledged as one of the leading musical organizations in the country and the people of Freeport look forward with pleasurable anticipation to its appearance here next Monday nnd Tuesday.

A number of years ago Bach's orchestra assisted in the national saengerfest that was held here, and all who heard them will never forget the welcome they received at the hands of the people of Freeport. Hans Balatka, director of the Chicago Musical society, in a letter to Mr. Bach says: "The Chicago Musical society instructs me to convey to you and to the musicians under your charge its sincere thanks for the very capable and artistic manner in which you ancl your orchestra assisted in the grand success achieved by our concerts in your city a few days ago. In discharging this pleasant duty I beg to add my personal thanks and to express the hope that this acknowledgment, of your worth may be considered by you to be of the same great value as your grand achievements at these concerts have been -and ever will be to us. We Will always remember these concerts with the greatest of satisfaction." Mrs.

Wally Heiber-Vizay, of Milwaukee, Mrs. Bertha Lincoln-Heustis, of Dubuque, and Herman Kurtztisch, of Milwaukee, the soloists of this occasion, are artists of note who have been enthusiastically received everywhere. Of Mrs. Heiber-Vizay's ability an exchange says: "Mrs. Wally Heiber- Vizay's 'Fiametta' contained a charm wholly impossible to most Possessing all the distinguishing characteristics of a prima donna, barring, of course, the usual robustness found in a leading singer, Mrs.

Vizay instantly found favor. She was a beautiful, sweet, fresh bit of humanity. In solo and ensemble her singing was beautiful and always delightful." Buffalo Courier: "Mrs. Bertha Lincoln-Heustis, of Dubuque, gained decided favor with the audience. Mrs.

Heustis possesses one of the richest ancl most flexible soprano voices ever heard in this city. She takes her highest notes with the greatest ease and has a most wonderful control over her tones. With a pleasing stage presence added to her beautiful voice she easily won her way to the hearts of her listeners at her first appearance when she sang 'Ocean, du Weber's This difficult, yet beautiful, selection was rendered 'in a manner that enthused the audience so that it was not satisfied until the singer responded twice to encores." Chicago Staats Zeitung: "Mr. Herman Kurtztisch appeared before a very fine audience at Brand's hall last night. He possesses a bass voice that instantly captivated the attention of his hearers.

He sang as first number, 'The Last by Levy, and second, the great duet from Bel- isar, by Donizetti. In the latter number he was assisted by Madame Katz- wnsm EXCITING CHASE.

To refrain from exposing bodies to public view. 2. To substitute white for black as an emblem of death. "1 ask you to lend your influence for the discontinuance of these old customs, winch are relics of the dark ages," he said. "If we have an emblem of death, it be white.

Good work guaranteed. trainmaster Caldwell has latefy wntten a song entllted, "Let Melody How Wherever We Go," and it will soon be on the market. Advanced sheets came out on the Omaha ited last evening and Mr went to Rockford tli "listen to the band." Some people don have to go as far as Rockford to hear a band, but this is a special occasion and the trainmaster decided to avail himself of the opportunity It is said that the song will be a decided hit and Mr.

Caldwell intends to give if a try out at Rockford before ottering it to the Saengerbund committee. He is of the opinion that he will score a success with this that will be unequalled In of American music. His decision to go to Rockford and his mission were announced by his friends, namely, Trainmaster Dailey and Alderman Harrington, this morning as the trio were standing at the depot. A large crowd gathered around them and Messrs. Dailey and Harrington stated with doleful cadences in their voices that Mr.

Caldwell would be at Rockford today to see the Wallace show that will pass through this 'city this evening on its way to Galena. Some one of an inquisitive turn of mind asked the purpose of Mr. Caldwell's visit, and Trainmaster Dailey informed him that Mr. Caldwoll had been engaged at a princely salary for the day to carry water to the elephants, inasmuch as the new ruling has gone into effect that the railroad companies must water the stock every 24 hours. At this juncture Alderman Harrington spoke up and said that tliiK function would devolve on Trainmaster Dailey as the train passed through the city this evening.

Air. Dailey' hesitated ab.out answering as this is a secret of the company that not have been told. At any rate Mr. Dailey gave Alderman Harrington a look which may have meant that ho denied the allegation ancl defied the alligator. Whether Mr.

Dailey will respond to call for conscripts to assist him in this elephantine task is yet to be determined. Xo one is able to wring a confession from him. But it is highly probable that Mr. Caldwell won't carry water to the elephants at all. Since he lias written the song he has taken keen delight in things musical and regards a tuning fork as indispensable to the welfare of any man as a pocket, dictionary.

This is probably true and it is likely that all first-class hotels will be provided with tuning forks in the near future for the accommodation of their guests. This seems to be the natural outcome of the rapid strides that we are making ancl Mr Caldwell deserves great credit for discovering a secondary use for the tuning fork. Some one sent patch which afternoon: Winnebago, June 20, 3:30 p. Caldwell, of Freeport, was seen running through our city about fifteen minutes ago with a large sack of peanuts in one hand. He was pursued by an enormous elephant that was exerting every muscle in his bady to overtake the trainmaster.

Great excitement prevails here as a result of the chase, and Cy Perkins organized a posse five minutes ago to go out to holler to Mr. Caldwell to drop the peanuts.

What Elephants Do. Theawkwarcl looking elephants are- thc most ing animals with the Gentry show which is coming to Freeport Fridav' July 7, East Taylor and Wilbur streets.

These solemn looking pacyderms execute with dexterity and skill the most difficult feats of juggling, balancing, ball-throwing and catching possible to the most expert human juggler. They plav upon musical instruments and enact. comedies at once unique and mirth provoking. The Gentry elephants do turns so novel and extraordinary and so difficult of consummation as, to. preclude the possibility of their ever being successfully imitated.

Their conception of comedy is plainly- shown by the many funny situations presented in their human like exhibitions in which they enact actual plays of a farcical nature. This is but one of the many trained animal divertisements which make the Gentry show so much more interesting this year than it ever -was be- tore.
