DISAPPOINTMENT IN LOVE CAUSES YOUNG LAOY TO ATTEMPT LIFE rreoi turds v tmtiv. ( A ptoiy of disappointed lovo ami giief over the death of n yvtmg man Is given from the vicinity of.Avoca, where Miss Kmma Meimers, aged IS, i' t templed suicide a few days ago, and the young woman is now lying In one of the Omaha hospitals in a very tlitlcal condition suffering from the effects of poison self administered with a desire of ending her life. As far as can be ascertained the young lady has been brooding over the hc ridental death several months ago of the young man to whom she was en gaged to be married, and her despond ent condition finally culminated n few lays ago in her attempt at suicide. She was alone at the farm home when phe took the poison and telephoned to her parents of her rah act, and they at once secured a physician, who was rufhed to th Koimers' homo and found the young woman suffering groittly from the effects of the poison. and although she was saved from delh at the time, her condition was such that it Was thought best to have her taken to Omaha to receive treat msnl at one of the hospitals there, and since th&t time she has been lying between lif and d?nth. despite the tpleudid fight being made to save her from the effects of her act. The grief of the young woman over the death of hi?r lover has boon most profound and thU is thought by the relatives to have caused her attempt to join him itt death.

Kxcit- Tho I'lattsmoijlh Red Sox yesterday afternoon, for the second time this season, were able to do businesa with the redoubtable (Ilenwood aggregation of base ballists, nnd copped a moat Interesting contest in the cloning In nings of a hard-fought battle by a rcoro of 2 to 1, and this after the visitor seemed to have everything their own way, but with the en thusiasm of the large crowd to a saint them the members of tho crimaon hose were able to get away with the long end of the hoart-breaking con test, ami in thin the. sticking of Real and llerold in the ninth frame brought in the necessary tally that spelled vie lory. In the eighth round Hcrold had registered the tying run of the con test. The boys were not at their best in the opening innit.gH, but tightened and carried off the fourteenth straight win on the home grounds nnd humbled tho I own team, who bad come to this city determined to secure the game. There was nothing doing in the way of scoring' during the first four in rdngH, but in the fifth the visitors jar red loose and made things look de cidedly stormy for the followers or the Sox. Mann, the catcher of the lowu team, led off with a hit over shortstop that could not be handled in time and was followed by Pitcher Hall with one in the Hame place. Undore was mixed with u little grounder to lnrriottat third and was caught out at the first station; Mann scored, but Hall was caught out at the third sack Linville ended the gloomy inning by knocking a grounder to Craig which was as good ns suicide, as the fust first sucker caught him easily. Al though with several good chances af ler this the Clcnwood boys were un able to get by with any more runs. In the eighth inning the big show was started as far as the local3 were concerned, when Hcrold hit to left garden for two bags nnd was advanc ed by . Mason with a sacrifice to-thinl, which I'cte sccu.'ed, while Masoif was thrown out at the initial station Gleko then laid against cue. of H;o,li er Hall's slants and placed it safely over second, bringing 'in Tote with the needed score to tie up the game, but Hobbie was tagged out at second when Pitman hit to the shortstop. C Smith, who had been substituted for Iuie Smith in the sixth, was caught at the second station on a steal. With the score tied when the Sox came to bat in the ninth the crow.! was wild with enthusiasm and the grandstand and bleachers rocked with the cheers of the admirers of the Sox nnd the cheers were well deserved, for right here was where the Sox won the game. Craig was the first up and was walked by Hall, which later proved his undoing, as Deal, who followed, ad vancod him to third by a rap over third, and after Tetcr Hcrold had slammed one over the third sack Craig came home w ith the score that spelled defeat for Glenwood and earned a well deserved victory for the locals. It might not be amiss to remark that Hcrold has been the batting kid in the last few engagements and gathered to himself three hits yester day, two of which were important in winning the game. The box score of the contest was as follows: RED SOX. AB. PH. R. O. A. E.

Ir tho re were rank rulings made by the umpire a teum would be justified in kicking, but. most of the boys recognize the fact that the present umpire is one of more than usual good judgment and fair ness. Such actions hurt the game arid does much to discourage the fans from attending. BUSINESS GOOD WITH MARRIAGE DEPART MENT OF GO. JUDGE Saturday afternoon the office of County Judge Hecson greatly re tembled the famous Gretna Green, with several couples of young people desiring to be joined in wedlock pres ent. The fame of the judge must have spread beyond the broad confines of his home state, as those seeking the ceremony of matrimony came from quite a distance. The first to be united were Mr. Puul H. Osiek of St. Joseph, Missouri, and Miss May Andreasen of Stella, Neb. This party came to this city ac companied by Mrs. T. II. Iladgen and II. II. Warwich in an automobile, and as soon as the wedding was over de parted for Stella. Walter Vernon of Kansas City, Mis souri, and Miss Louise Alden of Olathc, Colorado, arrived in the city Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock and nt once sought the court house, where they secured a licenes and were united in marriage by the judge, and return ed to Omaha on the evening train and will doubtless have a warm spot in their hearts for I'lattmouth, the scene of their great happiness. LAST SATURDAY'S ENTERTAINMENT A GRATIFYING SUCCESS The free "entertainment Saturday afternoon was one of the most suc cessful that has been given so far this year by tho entertainment committee and the business men and citizens and tho large crowd in attendance felt well repaid for their trouble in being present. The Burlington band, under the direction of Prof. E. H. Schulhof, gave a splendid concert at Fourth and Main streets, which was enjoyed by several hundred persons, and one of the most difficult and artistic programs of the season was given and thorough ly appreciated by the music-lovers in attendance. At the close of the cou- cert the team of Adolph and Raymond, comic acrobatic artists, gave a pleas ing performance and their act was re ceived with marked favor by the en tire audience on the streets, and in re sponse to a request these gentlemen have agreed to return in two weeks for a three nights' engagement at the Air 'Dome, when they will present three new and novel acts. The weath er being so fine kept a great many farmers from attending, but late in the afternoon a large number were fcble to get in to witness the second free act of Messrs. Adolph and Ray mond. J. H. Xorris and wife of near Hold- redge. Neb., came in j-rstervlay for a short visit, with their old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett Chnswisscr. Mr. Norris resided for a groat many years on a farm west of Murray and his old friends in this section of the county are well pleased to meet him.They will spend a few weeks here. r Miss Stella Do'an of Columbus and , Messrs.

WARNING TO PARENTS WHO ALLOW CHILDREN TO RUN SUCH RISKS For some time children going out Chicago avenue have been in the habit of running along and dodging the automobiles which are going and coming along that thoroughfare, and last evening one little girl came near meeting her doath as the result of this practice. Tho girl, incompany with a number of other children of from 6 to 10 years of age, were driving sev eral cows down the avenue and also playing along by seeing how close they could come to the automobiles tiaveling along the avenue, and as cne car was coming in the driver was compelled to turn out for a buggy and just as the little girl ran across the road in front of the machine. It was only a miracle that the child was not killed or bi.dly injured, as the car only missed her by a few inches. Par ents who have children in the habit of making this thoroughfare a play ground should take the matter in hand and see that they do not attempt to play tag with the passing autos. or sooner or later an accident will occur that will cause them great anguish and grief. From the statements of those who were near the scene the driver of the car was not in the least to blame for the narorw escape of the child, as he was running at a very low rate of .speed when the child dashed in the way of the car. The Clery Guaranteed It. "A customer came into my store the other cay and said to one of my clerks, 'have you anything that will cure diarrhoea?" and my clerk went and got hirj a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and said to him, 'if this does not cure you. I will "not charge you a cent for it. So he taak it home and came back in a day or two and said he was cured," writes J. H. Berry Co., Salt Creek. Va. Obtainable everywhere. Wall rajrr. Gcriag & C.

The young man is described as being 19 years old, and well built and when last seen wore a brown coat with blue serge trousers. His parents are very desirous of having their son return home and go out with the militia boys to the camp, and for this reason re quested the sheriff to attempt and lo cate the young roan. So far he has not been seen and may have returned to Glenwood on his own account.
