Republicans VS.. Democrats.

The Democrats and their lifelong OPP
ponents, the Republicans, played game
of base ball here on Sunday last, result
ing as the game of politics surely will
in Noyember-in the thorough defeat of
the Democrats by score of ~ to IA.
The Democrats have the Republicans to
thank for their numerous scores, as the
Reps not wishing to entirely snow them
under, changed their pitcher and thatcher,
thus giving the Denis nine runs without
extra charge.
At the close of the sixth inning the
score stood to 8 in favor the Harrison
ian followers, and during the seventh the
Clevelanders cleaned two scores. In the
eighth and nineth when the Benjamin
and Levi men got little bit reckless and
changed catchers the Grover boys run in
nine scores. At no time did the Harris
on voters get behind, but on the con-
trary always maintained big lead. A
good sound republican was chosen UNI
pire, while the Democrats had Mr.. John
Scotland as scorer.

Mormon Joe Has an Eye to Business.


Official returns from the drawing,
August 7, Louisiana state lottery, are at
hand, confirming the report, that a por-
ton of the capital prize $500, 000-was
drawn hy Brownsville man. His name
is Joseph Rivard, employed by a wood
camp, by the Homestake company, and
he holds-or held-a one-tenth or one
twentieth ticket, emitting him to $780,
600 or $4,000 as the case may be. But
he will fare poorly by reason of his in
discretion. Having secured his ticket,
he left it at the Homestake office or
store, with instructions to apprise him of
any favorable result of the drawing.
Somehow or other the number Of the
ticket became known to Mormon Joe and
another, who learning from the press re-
port that Rivard had struck it rich, visit
ed the wood camp, and by protracted di-
plomaey purchased the ticket fer $50.
The reprehensible transaction reaching
the ears Of influential friends, Joe was in
duced to return the ticket. We under
stand that be will receive $4,000 for his
magnanimity. Times.
If Bvard was simple enough to sell
his chance for $50 that is all he should
have, as he should have stumbled" that
his number drew the prize when that offer
was made him. We say Mormon Joe
has great head.
