If you want a good team you had better
call on Mr.. Miles.
Will Carleton is Peter 4. Nelson's
opponent for county Judge, having re.
ceived the republican nomination for
that Office. Mr.. Carleton's legal train
ing makes him eminently fitted for this
Important Office.
We have received u sample ballot to
be used under the Australian law for
the coming election. 1t is about as
large as an ordinary horse blanket and
presents a very mixed up appearance.
A voter will require about half day to
vote his ticket

porters IN his canvass for sheriff. Mr..
Jackson is pioneer resident of Griggs

making clean campaign.
While r. G. Cooper was driving
home Monday night, the horse "a

ting along all right.

have disposed of these bonds to the
best advantage and the taxpayers
ought to appreciate their efforts in this
direction.

discussion by the secret societies as to
where they would have lodge room

There are four lines of street railway
intersecting the north side of the city, the
Camp street and Prarie avenue. the Smith
Hill aud Elmwood, the Branch avenue
and the Pawtucket. These cars are
nearly always crowded to the platforms
and yet the cry is for more and faster
transit. Either transfer tickets should
be given as in other cities or else more
cross town lines should be established, il
our city IL 10 keep abreast of these nine

The Yales Mastered Jack Highlands
Yesterday.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 20.-Yale and
Harvard played an exciting game here
yesterday afternoon. II was the second
Of the series and the closing intercollegi-
ate championship match Of the season.
Contrary TO expectation Yale batted
Highlands freely. On the other hand
Harvard was unable to secure more than
i've struggling singles on Bowers. Field
ing honors were about equal, though
Yale's misplays were the more costly.
Seven thousand spectators witnessed
q struggle which had every semblance Of
. great intercollegiate contest, with its
accompaniment of flying streamers and
volleys of cheers. Yale was weakened
BY the injury of Carter and the absence
of Rustin, while Harvard was compelled
20 play . substitute catcher in place OF
Mason, who was called home by the
death OF his father.
Yale took the lead In the first inning
and was never headed. The result OF the
game leaves tho championship undecided.
Yale tried to arrange Tor q game on neu-
trail grounds July 4, but Harvard refused,
and az both colleges have closed, the
championship will remain unsettled.
The Yale alumni are celebrating on Q
grand scale.

Evans Writes . Letter.

Cris Evans, the train robber has taken to writing letters "all the same" as G. c. He left the officers and Indians in unmolested posses sion of his trail in the mountains recently to drop down into Fresno and mail the following letter to the Fresno Republicans:
 MT. Editor, dear sir:-Having had occasion to come to Fresno last night, 1 thought I would drop you this note to let you know l am safe and sound and not wounded, as was reported. Them fellows could not hit an elephant; their nerves are not steady enough.
 thought it a good idea to come down here. and let those men and their Indian trailers have full sway of that part of the country, and trail until they get tired.
 I think the railroad companie has got big gawl to offer such re- ward as it has for us, before they quit stealing themselves.
 We pay debts with what money we get, and that is more than any railroad company on earth can say.
 We kill people to save our own lives, and the railroad companies have killed men, or had it done, to get their homes and turn their fami- lies out of doors.
 There are plenty of thieves in a
