BALI. BATrERs.


The first OF what will most probably
result in a series of match games of base
ball for the championship of EmpOrle
took place at the ball grounds Monday
afternoon. Both mines were in fair
playing order, although one or two of the
best players from each side were absent.
During the first seven innings there was
good work done on both sides and a nip
and tuck record of 10 to 10. The next
time the city boys got the bats they
played with vim that secured them two
runs, and when the Santa Fe boys bat
ted out on flies it decided the game in
favor of the city club by two ITALICS.
The game was q much better
one than was played Friday
afternoon by the Strong City and En-
poria boys. The Santa Fe boys who
have only been organized a few days
played together well considering that it
was the first time they were ever on the
grounds together. 1t is safe to say that
a nine chosen from the city and Santa
Fe clubs could run winning tallies from
any champion nine in the state.

MISSIONARY SERVICES.

Sunday evening Rev. w. Q. SnOdgrass
announced to his congregation that in
stead of the usual services the evening
would be devoted to missionary work
with Mexico as the subject. Mrs. Black
lead in prayer, after which Mrs. u. w.
Eastman read q very thoughtful and IN
teresting production on missionary
work IN our neighbor nation. Rev. Snod-
grass then gave an interesting talk on
mission work in general. He claimed
that even from q financial standpoint
missionary work had been success, and
to illustrate spoke of the Sandwich
islands, which before the introduction of
the Christian religion had no com
merce at all; but after total expendi-
ture of something over million dollars
for missionary work, the commerce of
the islands tor last year alone amounted
to over 100000. The speaker also
alluded to the work in Africa and India.
At the close OF the services q collection
was taken up, amounting to $14, which
will be expended entirely for the benefit
of missionary work In Mexico.

HOUSE BREAKING.


The indications of late are aIe that
a number of tramps or professional burg
lars have inaugurated their work in this
city, but the Immediate attention of the
officers will soon cause such persons to
leave town or take shelter at the city
Jail. Monday evening some one cut
the screen to the bedroom window
where w. B. Luther of the Park Place
was sleeping aud stole from MI Luth-
er's pocket gold watch. During the
evening an attempt to enter DR.. Biddle's
house on the corner of Sixth avenue and
State street was made. The burglars
succeeded in cutting the screens, but
could not force an entrance. No one
has yet been arrested but suspicious
looking persons will only be safe after
they have put miles of walking between
themselves and Emporia.

Christian CHURCH in q discussion on the
Sabbath question in this city from the

ing him as nan and a scholar, we are

ton of the Christian church ;has also been
president for seven successive years
of the state meetiDgs of Iowa;
was nominated by the prohibitionists for
governor OF Iowa, at the time whon pro-
hibitlon was first carried in the state, but

withdrew and gave his aid to that side.
He has also for two years been the prin-
cipal lecturer of the Missouri Christian
lectuIship and holds the position of Prof.
of Sacred History and Literature in
Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa.
His taking part in the debate this week

M'L1ss. OR THE AEKANsAw JUDGE

The rendition of this play by the Nc
Cord Comedy company was listened to
Wednesday night by a good aud fence.
The play carries with it no
particular or impressive lesson.
but aims wholly TO excite
the miEth and laughter OF the audi
ence, the latter being that which is
claimed for the company it certainly
succeeds admirably. M'Liss, the lead
ing character of the play, represented
by Miss Laura Moone, is the daughter
of miner named Smith, who Is muir
dered for his money by q Mexican
greaser. The crime Is settled upon
John Gray, a schOolmaster, who ID loved
by M'Liss. At the trial the Arkansas
judge proceeds to amuse the audience by
reading laws irrelevant to the
case and insisting that that
portion of the ''statutes'' about
decided the case. He fined everybody
that had any money for contempt Of
court without the least provocatlOn and
proved himself good friend of Empo-
ria by saying after heavy fine that
money must be raised for the EmpOria
college. The CRIME was finally fixed
on the guilty Texan and John Gray and
M'liss cleared the way for united jour-
ney through the future. Miss Moore as
Miss, evinced much ability as an act
ress and was frequently applauded by
the audience. j. J. Kirby, we'll known
school teacher of this county, as John
Gray. the school master, acted his part
very commercially and only needs to
wear off little bashfuIlness. The play
is certainly well worth hearing and de-
serves good houses. The company will
play at Burlington tonight.
