Heavy rain which began shortly be fore noon caused, a postponement until tomorrow of the third world's series game scheduled for today between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Giants. WEDNESDAY FAIR. 0- The rail fell during the night and early morning, but there was every rpospect that the game would be Elayed until the beginning of the eavy downpour that lasted all after noon. The forecast for tomorrow la fair and wanner. The rain today was accompanied by a decided drop in temperature. . , , There was evidence that the. game would have been attended by a ca pacity crowd, for fully 15,000 specta tors were, on the Polo grounds stands wheto the postponement was made. The lines in front of the gates ex tended for several blocks when' the ticket boxes were opened early in the -afternoon and the men and boys, many of whom had stood in line all night, filed, into the grounds. , , Scaipers Get Rain Cehcks. v : As usual, every ticket sold today ' had a rain check attached which will b good only for the third game of the series. Many of- these found ; their way into hands of speculators. In most cases the rain checks were sold at a profit to'thc holders. With the first streaks of dawn and while the rain was still falling lightly the lines began to grow. Fans began to tumble from "L" trains and soon all arteries of travel led to the Polo grounds. When the gates to the lower grandstand - and bleachers - - were opened at 9 o'clock the lines stretched up and down the streets and around the grounds. Despite every precaution taken by President Hempstead, reserved seat tickets were to be had from speculators at the grounds and at the prominent hotels. Last night $35 was asked for one act of tickets to the three games, but prices fell today, due to the damp weather. .The total attendance was expected to be more than 38,000, the capacity of the stands. ' Giant Supporters Still Optimistic While the betting odds favored the American league champions all the way from 2 to 1 to 5 to 1, supporters of the Giants still were outwardly optimistic. The local rooters, while admitting superiority of the White Sox. in the first two games, insisted that McGraw's men have not yet dis-played-thcir real base ball ability. Outside of the main question as to whether the .Giants can stage a spec tacular comeback, the followers of the . national pastime devoted the rest of their speculations as to the rival pitchers, in the absence of official an nouncements. The f pinion seemed to be general that either Cicotte or Russell would start for the visitors, white McGraw would pin his faith on Sallee or Benton. ' ' ' Giants Must Win Third. New;York rooters admitted today that the Giants must win the third game to have a look-in at the cham pionship. To lose this game, they ' agreed, would mean that the world's series title probably a would go west for the first time since 1909. when Pittsburgh captured the series from Detroit. Delving into the records of past eamei does not hold out anv encour agement to the followers of the Na tional leaguers. These records show that since the world's series have been played under the rules laid down by the National commission no team that lost the first two games ever came through the winner of base ball's . classic. , .' : Again, should New York win the third game, the records would stilt be against the Giants, for jn the last twelve years no team that has cap tured only one of the first three games decided ever won the championship. ' The New York fans, however, pin their faith to the uncertainty of the game and feel this is just as good a year to upset the law of averages as any other. Cleveland Lands Fifth ; ,Game in Series With Reds , Cincinnati. O., Oct 8. Cleveland took the fifth game of the Ohio series today, 6 to 3, making the game score now stand, Cincinnati, 3; Cleveland, 2.

Six cents per bushel for husking corn where the corn is good with team, food and lodging included and also facilities for unloading, with an in creased price for poorer corn, is the recommendation of the committee ap pointed by the State Council of De fense to be paid by the farmers of the state. The report reads: , "After careful consideration this committee unanimously recommends and suggests to farmers that the gen eral price for husking in good corn shall be 6 cents per bushel and in ad dition to said price that machine un loading facilities "be furnished the husker; also, that: team, wagon and board and lodging be provided. Where the orn is poor the price shall be increased sufficiently to meet the equities in the case and if machine unloading facilities are not furnished additional remuneration, shall be given to those pickers who unload corn by hand, which will be fair pay for the work they do. In case the husker furnishes a team, the employer shall board the same. "The committee realizes the absolute-necessity of loyal co-operation with the national government in its endeavor to secure- the harvesting of foodstuffs- rapidly and with as little waste as possible.

OFFICIALS IN ARMS AGAINST SHERIFF'S AIDS County Jail Employes Testify for Government Defendant Accused of Violating the Mann Act. Federal officials here are up in arms against conduct of employes of the Douglas county jail. A deputy sher iff, the jailer, the jailer's wife and the matron of the county jail appeared on the witness stand in federal court and gave testimony in favor of Lee Donovan who was on trial for viola tion of the Mann white slave act and who was found guilty by the jury in federal court yesterday. Donovan was charged Vwith bring ing Ida Jolstead, a 17-year-old girl, from Cannon Falls, Minn., to Omaha. The. girl was kept in the Douglas county jail as a federal prisoner for several weeks. It was there that the four county employes talked to her and they testified in federal court that she told them that Donovan had not paid her railroad fare to Oma ha. Reiterate Testimony. Deputy Sheriff John Spaniack, Jailer 5. G. Uayton ana the latter s wife all testified that the Jolstead girl had told them that Donovan did not pay her fare. Mrs. Clayton said the girl told her this on a dozen different occasions. It was stated that Mrs. Ida Rockefeller, the. notorious madame who was convicted and is serving a year in county jail for bring ing a girl to Omaha as an inmate of her house, was confined in the same room with Ida Jolstead. Miss Jol stead is the daughter ot respectable parents in Cannon Falls and this is her first offense. She is a young, shrinking and pathetic figure.' A federal official stated that he federal prisoners may be transferred to some other jail in the future, "where the jail employes won't be so ready to gather testimony for the defense of the government's Vr'son ers." It is just as easy to put the prisoners in the Fremont jail, it was stated, and pay for their board, as is now done here. Stayed at Hotel. Miss Jolstead swore on the witness stand that Donovan paid her fare and brought her to Omaha. The first two nights, she said, they stopped at the Harney hotel. Donovan said they rented, only one room, "because that was cheaper." He said they did not undress, but that he laid down on the bed while she sat up. inev tnen iook rooms ai uj Harney street as man and wife. He said there was nothing wrong with their relations there. Miss Jolstead's testimony was contrary to this. Donovan is proprietor of a small hotel at Cannon' Falls. He is 38 veara old. Miss Jolstead says she tried to find Walter Olson when she came to Omaha. He was her sweetheart in Cannon Falls. Her father objected to their marnaee. she said, and Olson left home anu fame, she thought, to umana. Wealthy Columbus Man Dies; Civil War Veteran Columbus.

Lincoln, Oct. 9. (Special.) If the State Board of Irrigation approves the findings of the State Railway commis sion in an opinion prepared by Chair man T. L. Hall, the Ashland toll bridge on the Omaha-Lincoln-Denver highway near Ashland across the Platte river will soon be owned by the state and counties and become a free bridge. The opinion of the commission, based on the findings of its engineers places the value of the bridge at $20, 000, The company owning th bridge had placed a little higher valuation upon it, but it is believed it will not seriously object to the, figures' placed upon it by the commission. , Bridge Company Asks $50,000. The first figures furnished by the bridge company placed its valuation at $56,369, basing its value upon pres ent prices of building material and labor, with a depreciation value of $47,913. Engineer Forbes of the rail way commission placed a value of $22,573, based on the normal cost of material and labor with a deprecia tion value of $19,481. However, the commission finds that the bridge com pany paid for construction of the brige, $18,000, $750 to Sarpy county for rieht-of-wav. $500 for riprapping fthe bank of the river, $250 to the superintendent engineer and about $1,500 for a toll house. The bridge has always paid a good divident to the company. If the price is satis factory all around, the state will .pay 110,000 of the purchase price, Saund ers county and the Omaha-Lincoln-Denver association the other $5,000.

Quit' Meat When Back Hurts or Kidneys Bother Says Uric Acid in meat clogs Kidneys and irritates Bladder. S A glass of Salts is harmless way to flush Kidneys, says authority. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted au thority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick head ache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush oft the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid' of grapes and lemon juice, :ombined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also , to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure, and makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink. Advertisement. Bite Pt00Or MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL 0c(c i ?...,. A Shortest Road to ST.
