works, Of thi; city, to run away from home with
him to 20 on tranping tour. BY stealing rides
in tramp fashon they reached Rock Island,
where they probably became tired % such lie
and on Wednesday began tramp hOmcwaIds.
Not daring o board the cars at Rock Island
they walked sast some twenty miles till IN the
night they reached Rock River bridge. where
the grade is % steep that the speed is reduced
on freights to about miles an hour. Here they
hoped to board the cars, but while waiting for u
train they sa: down by the track and fell asleep.
Sleischer fell over away from the rails, but lei
Ter fell acrOs: the track. Pretty soon the train
came along, but neither Of the young men woke
UP till the ccw-catcher struck poor Zeller. The
engineer had slackened speed but not enough
to save Zeller entirely; as it was he was pushed
for about 20 Yards before the train was stopped.
When picked up he only had one arm broken
and his body skinned. His wounds were dress
cd as well as possible and that night he was
brought home, when Dr. Hard redressed him.
His escape was miraculous hut he is the worst
used up youth TO be seen in ordinary times.

The way IN which the democratic house of
congress cut down appropriations and holds
the Grant office holders 10 a rigid accoHnta-
|sillty in their expenditure, makes it terribly
annoying for the Old Zach Chambers cleo
pioneering committee at Washington to get
funds to carry on the campaign. Instead of
relying on Secor- Robson steals and the wills
ky rings for money, the burden seems nov to
fall heavily in the poor Office holders and
CLERKS in the departments. A dispatch says
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-1he boldness with
which the political assessors 60 about the de-
partments exceeds anything in the history of
the government A b. Rutherford, formerly
third auditor, and removed from Office by
Grant for cause, is now oLe of the tax-gatheT-
ers for the national committee. Furnished
with the names of all the clerks and the
amount demanded, he goes from room to
room asking for an order on the discussing
clerk for the specified amount Formerly il
was customary TO issue a circular setting forth
the demand and asking for a check for the
amount. 4 refusal was not attended with
loss of Office, but woe be TO him who dares re-
fuse now.

It was the custom at Decatur and at other pla-

business houses to close during one day or half
day in the week to give clerks and all employees
an opportunity to visit the Fair. Shall it be done
here this year? We expect TO have the biggest
kind of q fair and the clerks ought to have a
chance to see it. We are well aware that much
business will be transacted, but can't we afford
at least one half day: BY giving out general

oh! BALLS!
Wanted, Nine Men Who Can Bag Them!
Apply at once at this burg for "Sits. :"

The first game Of base ball for the champion
ship of La Sale county and for the silver prizes
offered by the citizens of Marselles, came off on
Thursday at Marseilles between the Greens"
(pun all you please,) of Ottawa, and the Browns
OF Marseilles.
Like good many other victims we went up to
see this game. Our pocket book was not too
heavily lined with shekels fortunately, nor are
we now any more wealthy than when we board
ed that train. The "call" did not show up quite
to our satisfaction, as it were.
The Greens lost the toss and were put to bat.
At first all was loyely,--a bad muff on the start
followed by a base hit, and some errors by the
Browns gave us two runs. On the other side q
bad muff aud errors were redeemed by some good
plays and the Browns scored but one. And so 1t
Went on pretty evenly till the last half Of the
9th inning, when a series of most abominable
errors by all had allowed the Browns to score
seven. The game was lost Of course, but the
playing after that was fair.
The fact is our boys imagine they can play ball
by intuition. That they thoroughly understand
the theory of playing correct game is evident
all read the sporting columns Of the Times and
keep posted, but We hope this game will teach
them that theory without practice will not keep
down the stack Of errors. We have the material
in town not only to beat Marseilles but any club
in La Sale county at least, but we need n thor
oughly organized nine, who will! practice Let
us have it, and both the championship and the
silver cups are ours. Selah
Following is the score: We might say in
"mitgation of damages" that we mark, in our
scoring, both errors and base hits very closely
more so probably than most professional scorers,

The announcement that Mr.. A. r. Ba rtels has
organized company for the purpose Of giving
minstrel entertainments during State Fair week
has been gladly hailed by all lovers of fun and
good music. Now this community need not be
told of the character of the entertainments form
erly given here by Mr. Bartels-they have all
been of the highest order and far in advance OF
those given by the average troups that condo
scend to take "our seventy centses" Bart is,
we believe, natural born camedlan he has
very acute sense of the ludicrous, and excellent
taste, and knows just what will please. This time
he proposes to treat the people with some thing
beyond what he has ever before attempted. Not
only has he selected the best talent in Ottawa
land therei is not little here but he has procured
two first class professionals from Chicago to as.
sist him, and will come before the foot lights
with troupe thoroughly trained by weeks
of practice. The programme Subject to a
change each evening" will consist of the usual
variety Of songs, funny plays, dancing, etc. etc.
II the reader is in search of fun, he is sure to
have it here; if he is a lover Of good music he is
sii surer to find it at these entertainments, for
Bart's taste In musical matters is Perfect.
The season will last through the entire week,
with nightly change of programme-but with
no change in their purpose to please.
The price Of admission is remarkably low for
the time: so cents with reserved seats Gallery
only % cents!
Joining these popular prices with the assured
excellent character Of the show, the Ministries
deserve liberal patronage, and we shall be dis
appointed If they do not receive it.
