uel Sales of St. Louis.

Two Great Meetings
Held Here Tonight
Two big meetings are booked for
tonight in this city, one at the court
house and one at the city hall. The
former will be held by the candidates
andage^-al "spinning" will take
place. j voter is invited to be
present and it will no doubt prove
interesting t( %ll who attend.
The other meeting will be held by
the city council to consider the ordin-
ance which provides for the exemp-
tion of the refinery from taxation.
There is probably more general inter-
est in this meeting than in any held
by the council in years, as the prob-
abilities are that the ordinance will
be passed in face of the strong' sen-
timent against it.
It is interesting to hear the differ-
ent remarks on this question as it
leads to k> many different subjects.
After a lengthy discussion last night
a man said: "Same old story, money,
money. Trying to dodge debts great
and small, in business, in society, in
the church. Anything to save a
nickel."
A prominent merchant said today:
"The refinery will not be here more
than four years longer, but it wants
to dodge while it remains. They
present a great long list to the coun-
cil and of the subscribers fifty do not
own property and thirty-nine either
work for the Standard Oil] Company
or have near relatives who do. These
figures are of those on the list whom
I know and I do not believe anybody
knows all of them. When they were
carrying that list among the unknown
I do not understand why they didn't
get those Indian squaws I saw men-
tioned in the Courier-Light."
Frost Picnic
The citizens of Frost gave a mag-
nificent picnic yesterday. The picnic
was given Sunder the auspices of the
Frost Camp Woodmen of the World.
A large crowd attended and the picnic
was held under the beautiful pavilion
by the lake.
County Commissioner Gillean was
marshal of the day and Ex-Senator
B. H. Johnson was master of cere-
monies.
Good speeches were made by
State Railway Commissioner 0. B.
Colquitt, Prof. J. T. Gladney and Hon.
E. 0. Call, Judge J. F. Stout, Judge
W. R. Boyd, Judge 0. C. Kirven, ex
County Attorney L. A. Johnson,
Judge D. G. [Grantham and County
Attorney El J. Gibson.
There was plenty of dinner for
everybody and the good people of the
Frost community did themselves
proud.
Directors Meet
The directors of the Richardson-
Gay Oil Company met today at the
city otfice in the Johnson building
and attended to the business which
came up, but nothing was given out
for publication.
A Runaway.
A horse and buggy from the coun-
try participated in a runaway on Col-
lin street last night and turned south
at the poetoffice, demolishing the
buggy at the Main corner. No one
was hurt.
TWO OP THREE
Corsicana Won Again—
Method Outpitched
Hotfmeister.
When the second inning closed
yesterday afternoon, the spe< tutors
thought they were up against a sor-
ry game of ball, for at this time
there had been nothing more than
would have been expected from an
aggregation of amateurs. After
this, however, the exhibition was
good except for the severe pounding
which was given Hoffmeistor and the
continual wrangling with Umpire
Stout, who was doing his first stunt
here as superintendent of the Indi-
cator.
The scrap started in the second
inning when Boyd ran home from
third on what he thought would be a
passed ball; Miller recovered the
sphere before it hit the backstop and
Hotfmeister covered the plate, giving
Boyd a run for his life and the um-
pire called him out; a grievance com-
mittee from both teams sailed in to
interview Stout and, during this
squabble, Westlake slipped in from
t-econd.
Stout reversed his former judgment
and declared BoyJ safe, but for some
reason held that Westlake must go
back to second.' This wishy-washy
way of deciding things started dis-
sention and when Dallas was at bat in
the second another scrap took place.
Fetz was on third and two men were
out, Hunter was at the bat and had
two strikes. Fetz ran in to steal
home, bnt while he ran Hunter struck
the third time; Westlake tagged Fetz
just to keep his hand in and Stout
called him out. In the next inning
Hunter came to bat again, succeeding
himself after striking out. Method
protested, but Stout let it go and
things rocked aior.g very nicely until
the ninth when Pi.'hardson, running
for Method, made-a pretty steal at
third and was catted out.
• The playing was good for eight
innings and in the fifth there were
two pretty plays, Salm and Boyd get-
ting t'vo hard fouls. The batting of
Longley and Maloney was also a fea-
ture. Their base-running was lirst-
class, too.
Andres was again in the game and
played with his usual vim, but was
unable to hit Methcd who pitched a
remarkable game for a man who has
just recovered from a desperate ill-
ness. Method always has been good,
but he gets better every day and his
pitching yesterday, while weak from
sickness, shows that a $5,000-head
can make a $40-arni win games.
There are all kinds of baseball brains
in Belmont's noodle and he uses them.
It was great to see old Trapper
drop a fly which he was two confident
he had and, as this is so exceedingly
seldom, it ought to go as one of the
features. We think, however, that
it is a mistake about him being re-
leased because he can't hit.
The Corsicana boys could not hit
Hotfmeister when they went against
him in Dallas and yesterday they got
revenge by hitting him in seven inn-
ings.
The score was as follows:
