Topeka Commonwealth: The game of
ball between the North Topeka Reds and
the Wichita Reds, which was played at
the fair grounds yesterday, was not par
ticularly exciting, very large number
of runs being made. The score stood
&c to IS in favor of the Wichita club
1t is an Indication, however, that the
Wichita boys know something about the
game. Our boys will have to do some
good playing if they prevent a similar
score today. The Westerns have not
practiced enough TO be in flrst-class
shape, but they do very we'll in the field
and there are some good batters. MrWil-
lard's pitching will probably discomfort
the strangers when they try to hit them,
and we still think our boys will wax the
strangers. We wouldn't be loyal if we
didn't.
Those who witness the game will, in
all probability, be highly interested and
see some good playing.

which was refused, and they have sued

1t is with regret that we are called
upon to publish the following notice of
the death of the managing partner of the
welLknown firm of A. Vogeler & Co.,
whom newspapers in general have found
most excellent men, with whom it is
always pleasure to deal:
To Our Friends and Patrons:
1t is our painful duty to inform you
of the death of our Mr.. Charles A.
Vogeler, which occurred at his residence
in this city at five O'Clock this morning.
Mr.. Vogeler was taken i'll at the close of
the first week in July, and the disease,
which was at first pronounced malaria,
finally developed into u malignant type
of typhoid fever, battling the skill alike
of physicians and nurses. Although but
thirty-one years of age, he had been for
the last eight years the managing part
ner of this house, and to his assiduous
attention to business and well-directed
enterprise we feel that its present pros
perity and reputation are mainly due
While, of course, nothing has as yet
been definitely decided, it is the desire of
the surviving partners to continue the
bust ness unchanged.
Very respectfully,
A. VOGELER 81 Co.
BALTIMORE, MD, Aug. 3, 1882.
