SOROSIS MEETING
The ladies of the Sorosis club
met at the home of Mrs. Charles
llargrave yesterday afternoon.
The programme as carried out
was in celebration of flower day.
There were about twelve ladies
present, each one responding to
roll call by a quotation on her
favorite flower. A paper by Mrs.
Wm. Wilson on “Flowers” was
read by Airs. Ed. Steele; follow
ed by two articles,, one on Mo
ther’s Day and one on Children’s
day, read by Airs. Ewalt. Both
papers were well written ami well
read and were very much enjoy
'd by all present.
Very dainty refreshments were
served by the hostess, assisted by
Mrs. Jussen and Airs. Dittmar.
.Just before leaving the hos
less presented each member with
}•. pansy plant in a little flower
pot decorated with the club’s
colors, yellow and white. Every
one had a lovely time and they
ill went home very much pleased
with little favors so thoughtfully
picked out by the hostess.
The next and last, meeting of
ihe year will be held on Alay 24
q the home of Airs. M. (iiannini.
A delightful picnic lias been
planned to celebrate the occasion.
TRIES TO FORGE CHECK
After some slight dissagreemeit
with Robert Bates an old man
who had been working for the
former, wrote out a cheek i'oi
six dollars, signed Air. Bates'
name to it and tried to cash it
in Van Winkles saloon. It evi
dently was a poor imitation of
the real article and when lie
found that lie could not cash it
lie started out of town. The
sheriff was soon at his heels but
he was a little too slow for the
old man who seems to have evad
ed the law and escaped all the
officers. Sheriff Fenton was af
ter him again this morning but
was unabcl to get any trace of
him. The old man’s name seems
to be unknown to any one here.

COLTS, FOUR
YORK. SIX,
VISITORS TAKE LAST GAME.
Peru Normal will be here Friday
for a Game.
The York league team captur
ul the lust game of the series
yesterday by the score of six to
four. They went on their way
rejoicing, for we had it all dop
ed out that Falls City would take
the entire series. The attendance
was not up to expectations, and
maybe that had something to do
with the result.
Next Friday the Peru Normal
will try conclusions. They are
said to be the fastest aggrega
tion in this part of the state,
so a hot game is assured.
Following was the score by
innings yesterday:

WHALE NETTED FORTUNE.
It Yielded Oil and Something
Else, Ambergris Worth
$60,000.
In a vault at the headquarters
df a wholesale drug firm in Bos
Oin arc about 100 pounds or am
bergris. It. is valued at $60,000,
according to experts.
Trade quotations give the pre
si nl market value of ambergris
at from $10 to $15 an ounce. The
lot) pound package is by far the
largest amount of ambergris re
ceived in Boston or New Eng
land in many years and is said
to be of uncommonly quality. It
was picked up by the crews of
tile hark Bertlui, Captain Ben
Vera, and the brig Viola, Cap
tain John A. Cook, who found it
while whaling off the coast of
Africa in December.
The erews or the liertna anu
Viola were pursuing sperm
whales when the lookout sighted
several spouting in the sunlight.
One fellow about thirty feet long
lagged behind the others. He
was sluggish, and it happened
that the harpoons which simulta
neously pierced his sides inline
from small boats from both ships.
That’s why the erews are divid
ing the spoils.
The laggard yielded only fif
teen barrels of oil, but the grumb
ling of tbe whalers was dispell
ed by the huge black lump of
ambergris was taken from him.
