On Friday the All Nations and the local team engaged in a slug- ging match, in which the home boys were ahead all the way. The All Nations team is composed of old ex-leaguers under the leader- ship of ‘‘Nig’’ Perrine, formerly of the Kansas City Blues. They are all good fast players, taking advantage of every opportunity, but old age has slowed them down and they ean’t come back. Sever- al nationalities were represented in the line-up, the right fielder was from the land of the Kaiser, the left fielder was.a dark com- plected gentleman, who pased as a Hawaiian. or rather the first basewoman; had evidently got the wrong label as she was tagged “U.S. A.’’ She was a chunky red headed girl and her name was Murphy and you can have one guess as to her na- tonality.

Kling, di- rector ef the Jefferson Highway yor Missouri, was appointed by jhe Blue Book publishing com- pany of Chicago, to select the best autemobile route from Kansas City to Joplin. Thursday, in com- pany with William M. Shirley, of the publishing company, he passed through the county logging what, in his opinion, was the best route. They left Kansas City early in the morning and arrived at Adrian about noon, where they were met by a delegation from Butler. j The route from Adrian to But- ler as selected by Mr. Kling, runs south from Adrian'to Passaic then Butler.

Arrested Charged With Stealing Morphine. Tuesday of last week a young man who gave his name as God- dard arrived in the city and at once proceeded to the sheriff’s office where he told Sheriff John- son that he was a ‘‘dope fiend”’ and that he wanted to be locked up in the county jail, where he wonld be unable to get drugs, so that -he might be better able to fight the habit and perhaps cure himself. He told the usual one selected from Butler to Rich Mill. While this will be of consider- able importance to Butler as most of the automobile tourists follow the route laid down in the Blue Book, it has nothing to do with the proposed Jefferson Highway, “‘dope’’ story, how he was the son of wealthy ‘parents, who sent him abroad to be educated, that while he was in Germany studying medicine, an uncle in Australia, or some where else, died and left him a lot of money, which he pro- eeeded to spend having a good as Mr. Kling was not acting in his official capacity, but merely as an agent of the Chicago pub- lishing house.

New York, Sept. 23.—Accord- ang to trade reports current in the financial district today, a big for- eign’ order for copper aggregat- ing more than 400,000,000 pounds, has been placed by. foreign inter- ests, chiefly British and French, ‘with large produers in this coun- try. The copper is to be delivered in the first six months of 1917. . The fire alarm- was turned in time. He finally returned to America, the victim of the drug habit. He secured a position as traveling salesman, but could not hold it on account of the awful drug habit, which he could not get rid of. He had about $125, which he gave to some stranger in Ft. Scott, who worked some sort of a game on him. Friday he was arrested, charged with stealing morphine from the United Drug Store and from the Rhodes Pharmacy, and taken _be- fore B.. F. Jeter, justice_of the peace, who sentenced him to thir- ty days in the-county jail where Dr. Newlon will treat him for the drug habit. He had a pretty smooth scheme to get behind the prescription counter, swhere the 14x - OVAL FRAMES | Oval and Convex Glass complete ready to hang _. $1.50, $2.00, $2.50 morphine was kept. He watched Drug Company, was away from the store and only one clerk was on duty when he went in and wanted to purchase a bandage of some sort that he would have to go behind the pre- scription case to put on. }The bandage was not quite what he wanted and he sent the clerk to the front of the store for another one and while he was gone he helped himself to the morphine: which he had located. He didn’t buy the bandage. While his story sounds exactly like the old ‘‘dope fiend’’ story, it is possible that it is true and he may have a sincere desire to be rid of the awful habit and it is hoped that his stay in jail may have a beneficial effeét and that he may be cured and made a use- ful member of society.
