yesterday and two to-day. 1t was thought
that tho Missoulas' would be an easy win

Bozsmans and everybody thought he would
bev knocked all over the county, but the
Missoula men could not touch him, and
the game resulted in score of ten to two
in favor of Bozeman. And this afternoon
it was from start to finish game for
blood. Ross went in to pitch, but
at the end of third inning he
took left field and Bently went in again and
in short time the Missoulas were once
again put to sleep. the score being 13 to 8 in
favor of the home club. Seven of the Mis-
soula's scores were made in the first inning.
Young Bently. the babe, carried of the
honors of the game He doesn't weigh but
1870 pounds, but he stood in the box during
the morning and afternoon games, and
right up to the last ball that passed to the
catcher the batters had hard work to find
the sphere.
Evidently this was not Missoula's day,
but they took their defeat manfully and
have demonstrated the fact that they are as
gentlemanly a crowd as ever graced the
the diamond. The attendance afternoon
and morning was beyond expectation and
everybody is satisfied.

KELLEY IN LONDON.
The Anti-Jag Messiah Says Drunkenness
Ia a Disease.

Is u DlS0ASes
LONDON, Sept. 24.-Intemperance is the
question Of the hour. While the contro.
versy about its cure is raging in the Times.
Telegraph and other papers, DIR. Leslie Il.
Keeley, of Dwight, ILL.,, who is becoming
famous for rapid cures of alcoholism, has
arrived in London. He has just finished a
tour of France, Germany, Austria, Switzsr..
land and Italy, made for the purpose of
studying his speciality.
The most remarkable thing about long
chat which had with DR.. Kelley yesterday
was tha stress he laid upon the fact that
is not a vice and not to be ar-
preached or considered as anything but n
disease, to be treated rs malaria or any
other physical malady. Ho is gray haired,
keen eyed man Of the west, who has
in twelve years cured over $500
with all the experience that such a
record implies he turns his back Oh the
churches. If it were vice law and religion
could prevent or remedy it. but as 1t is a
disease, physical remedies are the only
means of checking it. Ths doctor says
that from the time he left England until
tho time he returned TO London, two day s
ago, he saw only two drunken men. Those
two were at Naples.
'I,octor," said, as / sat beside him yes
terdav, from your observations Of the ef-.
feet of light beer drinking in Germany and
lipht vino drinking in France and Italy.
what do you think about the plan TO bo
pursued in either country In attempting to
wipe out drunkenness by absolute prohibi-
ton of sale?"
II do not think prohibition will ever
obtain in the United States," said the
doctor. "It Ia impossible to control the
liquor traffic, therefore think light wine
and baer drinking ought to be encouraged
as a matter OF government policy in
America and England"
