HENNEPlN CANAL.
Bids Rejected Because not Based on the
Eight-Hour Day.

DAVENPORT, Ia., Aug. 9.-It has been
learned that the bids of two of the
principal contractors for work on the
Illinois and Mississippi Canal, the Hen
nepin), have been rejected by the gov
ernment because the estimates were not
based on the eight-hour day, as required
by the new law. The effect of this will
be to prevent doing much work on the
canal this season. There is on hand a
fund of something like 100000 of the
$50O,0O0 appropriated. 1t has been ex-
pected here that considerable work
would be done on the western terminus

DIAMOND DUST.

DlAMOND DUSI.
Pratt and Jackson played the best
game of their lives.
Norman Stewart is the best anna
teur first baseman in Tennessee.
Pete SIattery and ID. Farmer did
the poorest playing of their lives,
and several OF Russellville's runs
are directly chargeable to their gross
errors.
During the game dog ran rab-
bit across the diamond and some of
the boys think Russellville had a
hand in this. 1t was a graveyard
rabbit, fresh from the city cemetery,
and but for the fact that it was killed
some think that Clarksville would
have been shut out.
The next game will be played
Thursday evening, and it will be be-
tween the lawyers and courthouse
force. If the public wishes to know
all about the technicalities of the
game this is the chance. There is q
belief, however, that the score will
be taken to the supreme court tc
have the official count made.
The colored base ball club of this
city went to Guthrie yesterday tc
play a game with the colored club o
that place. The game resulted in the
defeat of Clarksville in score of 81
to IL. The return game will be play
ed here next Monday evening.

BASE BALL.
Russellville Wins another Game
From Clarksville
They Get it, However, From the Fact
That Olarksville Made Fatal
Blunder.

The Gracey- Woodwards have no.
body to blame but themselves for
losing the game with RussellviIle
yesterday. They put Arthur Klee-
man in the box the first two innings
and the Russellvilles had an old FASH
ioned picnic. They whispered
around that they had picnic and
the captain told his men to pound
the life out of the straight balls that
were crossing the plate. They saw
their chance to win the game and
like ball players they took it, lining
out ten runs in the two innings,
while very large crowd of home
admirers sat by disgusted. The Rus
sellville sluggers would lift Klee-
mans balls clear over the fielders
and then walk around the bases,
while d. Farmer and Pete Slattery
were wearing themselves out in an
endeavor to get the balls in, so the
game would not be delayed. Pratt
went into the box In the third inning
and then the game became interest
ing, but the start Russellville gained
over the home boys on Kleeman's
pitching was too great. They could
not catch them. 1t was an easy
matter for Pratt to hold them down,
and through the balance of the game
the home team had decidedly the
best of it. They made IL runs to
Russellville 6, and they did it by hard
playing. The consensus of opinion
was that if Pratt had been put in the
box at first Clarksville would have
won the game. He pitched fine
game, and Jackson's catching was
faultless.
The score by innings is as follows:
Russellvllle-2 8 l O2 00-l6

successfully performed the operation
known as re-section. That is, where
the entire bone of an arm was destroyed

an arm was saved instead of amputating
it. There is man living to-day,

Thibet. They said that to attempt the

PURE WATER AND cIsTERNs.

Well Constructed Cisterns That Insure
Water Free from All Impurities.
It Is in many localities impossible to
bring the water required for the animals
Of the farm from springs or depend on
the supply of the well. A writer in the
Ohio Farmer advises, in such localities,
a well constructed cistern or a number
Of cisterns connected together. He says:
Let US look to the roofs of available
buildings as the first source Of supplying
water. Take n roof, say of AZ by 80 feet,
including projections, and we have 2,l8l
square feet Of surface. Allowing the
annual rainfall in Ohio TO be 3s1S inches,
building of the dimensions given would
catch in year 52,411 gallons, or 1868
barrels, which had much better be util-
lied in this way than to be allowed to
drip into manure piles, thus washing
their goodness away. A cistern large
enough to hold 1868 barrels would
have TO be twenty feet in diameter
and twenty-three feet deep, but as
the rain does not all come at once,
and as it is not all used at once,
the dimensions need not be quite so

Bones make valuable fertilizers and
enter largely into the composition of the
best commercial preparations after be-
ing properly treated. In their crude
state they must be finely ground in order
to make them available food for plants.
Even in that condition ground bone must
first go through the slow process of de-
composition, just as wood or any coarse
vegetable fbers must decay before they
can be taken up as plant food. AS has
heretofore been recommended, wherever
there is a small accumulation of bones,
the quickest way of making them avail
able is to burn them and apply the ashes
of the FIRE to the land. In this there Is
an inevitable small loss, as compared
with the methods Of large manufacture
ers of commercial fertilizers, but for a
farmer who wants to realize from them
at once and with the least trouble to
himself, it is usually the best plan.
