T.. Il. EWING & SONS;
Gentiemen:-I see by your PAPER Of Ost
18th that Mr.. Balderston, Prohibition can
didate for the Senate, invited Mr.. WHIT and
Mr.. Bond to meet him and discuss the sit.
uation. and notice in Mr.. Wirt's letter
declining to meet him that be says the
question Of Prohibition is not an issue in
this campaign. Does Mr.. Writ pretend to
deny that he told gentleman of the frs,
district, prior to the Republican County
Convention, that he hoped the Republicans
would nominate Mr.. Christie Of the seventh
Dist and he would make the fight this fall
on tie question Of High Licence agains,
Prohibition? And now being challenged to
discuss the question he politely answers,
it has nothing ito do with this campaign
I make no idle charge aud write nothing
can not prove. Very truly yours,
WIN. IL ANDERSON.

Farmers the price of your grs

Farmers the price of your grain
is very low, and your county taxes
are lower the present year than for
many years previous. While you
may not be able to Advance the price
of grain you can do the next best
thing, keep your taxes down and
get them lower still by holding on to
the present Board of County Com
missioners. A board composed OF
new men might possibly do as well,
but not better, and it would be TAX
ing a mighty risk to try it. 1t will
not do for farmers to take risks in
money matters these hard times A
four years record of economic bust
ness management in the Commits
sioners office would be gauge for
all future boards to work by. The
tax payers don't want democrat
boards, or republican boards, or pro
h.bition boards in future in the
County Commissioners Office, but
BUSINESS boards. Apply your pol
itics to the other offices but vote all
together to keep your money in your
pockets.

Colton's Olive Branch is a tree
not true to name. The crop since it
has come to maturity is principally
gall nuts. Last week it went back
to the old Know. Nothing times when
Tom Swami was generalssimo OF
the "awl brigade" Swann's name
is not mentioned by Mr.. c. in his
arraignment. Perhaps the service
he did the Cotton party afterward
atoned for it all. Those were bad
times but Mr.. Coulton need not have
travelled more than half so far back
in history to have found just such
times round the Baltimore polls, and
he was a leader in the gang who
committed the outrages too.

The score of the New York walkin match at noon was as follows:

Jim O'Rourke Is becoming as used to long hits as he is to long words, and mo- thing short of a double will suit him of late.
 The idea of laying Arthur Irwin off simply because he made an error or two is being harshly criticised by the Phila- delphia Press. 1
 Tebeau takes desperate chances in go- ing for everything that comes toward third base in the games played against Cleveland.
 Bobby Matthews has at last caught on. He Is coaching two teams of amateur players at Lebanon, Pa., made up of cm- ployes of the Cornwall Railroad company. President Coleman is paying Matthews a good salary, and he could not have hired a more competent man than the eX-Ath- letic pitcher tocoach his team.
 Gallagher, right field of Springfield, while running after ball recently felt a sudden thrill, He stopped as if frozen to the spot. He couldn't imagine what was wrong. That evening he received a tele- gram announcing that his father had been killed by falling off building at Syracuse. comparison of time showed that 1t was exactly at the same minute that his father fell.
 President Stern, of Cincinnati, says "I am thoroughly satisfied with Me Phee's work as captain. There are a great many ins and outs about base ball that an outsider cannot understand OF appreciate. MePhee is new in the posi- tion and has had great deal to contend against ! am sure he Is g. hard con- scientious player, and that in short time he will prove that he Is fully com potent to run the team.
 President Won der Ahe and the St. Louis players are not on the best of terms apparently, and the recent defeats of the team in Kansas City has given rise to rumors of wilful careless play. The rumors have even gone so far as to in- sinuate that the games were being | thrown, but this is not given much ere. dence. Von der Ahe will investigate the charges, and if there is reason to believe that the players are not honest he will | blacklist them.

THE BATTALION BAZAAR.

Great Excitement Over the Tug of
 War Last Night-A Lively Pro-
 gramme for To-Night.
 All that could comfortably crowd into the armory last night did so, and at 9 o'clock when the opening of the enter tainment was begun every available seat was taken and standing room was at a discount. Dancing opened the festivi- ties and at 9 o'clock Serg't Bolger step ped to the stage and informed the au- dience of disappointment the commit tee would have to occasion therein ill the misrepresentation of the drill by the young ladies of Evangeline circle. Two of the ladies were i'll and one absent from the city. The Irish farce II Am Not Myself at All' was presented by five members of the Sacred Heart choir and the reputation of that body was admir- ably sustained. The most exciting fea- ture of the entertainment, and one in which some of the boys lost their heads and for the time forgot the friendly re- lations of the two companies, was the tug of war. Both teams came on the floor determined to win or die. The first pull was interrupted for shol t time by a little wrangle, all in good cheer, on the positions of the men, before the command to pull was given. This was smoothed over and at the word of command both teams dropped like a flash and no prettier tug of war was ever witnessed. The tape never varied over an inch from the center and cheer from Co A men and then from the G men would show how the tape was way ering from side to side. At the end of the pull Co A men were the victors by a bare inch. The second pull was not so exciting and was won by Co G by three feet. Now was when the trouble began and everyone seemed to be on the floor cheering the favored team. The word of command was given and Co A men reached the floor first with the tape two feet in their favor. A claim of foul was made but was not sustained. Here was where the excitement began. A friend of the opposing team hissed the claimant and for time excitement ran high. In the meantime Go. G men were slowly but surely talk or 12 seconds more time ..victory would have perched on their banner. As it was Co. A won by about eight inches. | Cheers for both teams were given with a will and the excitement was dead. O.
 G's team win the series, having a score of five pulls won to Go. As three. Danc- ing concluded the entertainment and all
 joined in a mutual good time, forgetting the previous excitement. Tonight the programme will be a battalion drill
 under command of Lieut.. Col Doherty assisted by Capts. Wolf and Burpee
 Lieuts. Fitzpatrick and Stocking anG
 Lieut. Moses. Col. Leavenworth and staff and possibly few New Haver
 officers will attend. It is probable tha, Col. Leavenworth will have charge oi the dress parade at the conclusion of the drill. Dancing will again conclude tho programme and will wind up the foul nights battalion bazaar.
