THE ONLY COLONEL.

Some of His Remarks Gathered at
Random.
Three O'Clock: "Will be in the lead
after the game this afternoon. Stick a
pin in that prediction. So spake Col
onel Robinson.
Six O'Clock: "My team isn't fast
enough for the California league" Col
onel Robinson made that remark COM
ing up in the car.
81 tell you, Whitehead is altogether
too sensitive. Filming don't do him any
good, 30 had him keep me company on
the bench. Milt is quite conversation
alist." So says the colonel.
Eight O'Clock: The Colonel still talk
ing. Wait till the Los Angeles people
see my team on the next trip? Have
five weeks TO make changes, you know. +"
Midnight: That Stafford is a ball
player. He won two or three games
tor Los Angeles on the last northern
trip"
Two thirty O'Clock: ''Come in, !"
shouted the Colonel when a reporter
called up at his room this morning.
"Who do think will win the pennant ?
said the Colonel repeating the ques-
tion asked. "Well, my boy, the Col
onels and the Dukes will play off the
nine games and the Colonels will win
as sure as you are alive"

THERE'S BLOOD ON THE MOON


Duke Finn Writes Very ~sMone sque"
Communication.
That genial descendant of Brian Boru.
the duke Finn OF Santa Clara county, is
writing letters for publication. The
usually affable Michael is hot. Last
night the Express published screed
from the San Jose magnate that is more
vitriolic than digni6ed. The Los Angeles
morning papers are scorched for at
tempting to cast q cloud upon a cham
pionship which, the duke writes, "was
honestly and legitimately won by San
Jose."
But here is how the riled magnate
pays his respect to the president Of the
Los Angeles club:
"The statements of Mr.. Van Derbeck.
printed in the Los Angeles newspapers,
are untrue and libelous in every respect,
and are the wild vaporings of man
wild with frenzy and devoid of all
reason, who has not the manliness to
acknowledge and bow to honest defeat.
My name and honesty have never before
been impugned, and if the utterances
attributed to Mr.. Van Derbeck in the
Los Angeles press are hi demand
that he prove or retract them, or shall
denounce him as libelous cur and an
arrant hypocrite."
Well, well; here's a pretty how do
you do. How these league magnates
must love one another At this distance
it looks like duel.

The Future Of tho Mississippi Valley

The Future of the Mississippi Valley.
The delta of the Mississippi, below its
junction with the Ohio, richer than the
Nile or the Rhine, exceeds the combined
area of Holland and Egypt, and is des-
tined under the stimulus of free labor
and the incentives of self government to
build a fabric of society more opulent
and enduring. Add to this the mex
haustible alluvion of the streams above,
and the fertile prairies from which they
descend, and the arithmetic of the past
has no logarithms with which to COM
pute the problems of the economic and
commercial future of the west. 1t will
be predominant in the development, not
of this country alone, but of the hemis-
phere, and will give direction to the
destinies of'the human race.

not yet entered the temple.-John J. In

Mars Approaching the Earth,

The month of August next is expected
to bring important, if not wonderful
and sensational, developments in the
study of our mysterious heavenly little
kinswoman. Aug. next Mars will ar
rive at a point directly opposite this
earth, which it reaches but once in fif-
teen years, when the distance between
the two planets will be reduced from
141, ,0O0,000 to 35,000,000 miles. Upon
that night thousand telescopes will be
leveled at the planet, which will repose
in refulgent beauty in the southern
skies, and thousand eyes viii seek to
pierce the veil of distance that conceals
the knowledge for which science thirsts.
Wonderful results are expected by
reason of the marvellous improvements
that have been made in astronomical
instruments within fifteen years and
since the last most favorable observation
was made. With the powerful lenses
and the Photographic appliances of to-
day it will be as if the far away visitor,
tempted by curiosity, had drawn nearer
to the earth than ever. Although Mars
will be 35,000,000 miles away, the pow
erful Lick telescope will magnify her to
a size as if viewed at distance of but

He Was the Duke.

When, in 1883, Professor Freeman
was examining Battle abbey, he found
himself dogged by a person who, as he
thought, somewhat oficiously obtruded
his offers of assistance. After vainly
trying to shake him off, he broke forth
with: Il don't want your assistance.

A sereatr-Ylye Foot piye.

At Arctic Springs Floyd Williams, a
twelve-year-old boy, climbed tower
seventy-five feet high and, reaching the
last turTet, dived off into the river
The descent was made in safety, and
the boy after coming to the surface
swan around for several minutes. 1t is
regarded as marvellous act. The tower
was built expressly for Professor Leuv-
enmark, the famous diver, who gave an
exhibition on Sunday by diving from
the top, and who was said to be con-
sidered the only man in the United
States able to dive safely from such
distance. Cor. Indianapolis Journal.

Archie Hill, a mulatto, attempted to
get on Boyle Heights cable car, on the
First-street viaduct, at 9 O'Clock last

The result was that he fell under the
car and was quite badly bruised.
Hill had been drinking during
the day and was intoxicated.
He was taken to the receiving hospital
later, where he spent the night. He
was in hysterical condition, groaning
and sobbing constantly. DR.. Bryant

A Lively Well.

A Bellaire, o., dispatch says: "There
is much excitement in this section over
wonderful well on Pawpaw creek,
near Salem, village on the Cleveland
and Marietta railroad, fifteen miles south
of Summerfeld, Noble county. A well
was drilled to the depth of 1,400 feet
about nineteen years ago. Oil or gas
not being found it was abandoned. Sew
eral years later water and gas COM
menced coming from the hole in great
force, which threw the tubing out. That
gave it chance and it washed out a
large cavity, forty feet III diameter
Six or seven years ago it ceased to flow.
Jacob Martz, about two years ago, filed
the hole with logs, stone and earth and
built large barn on stone pillars, one
of which stood in the center of the
cavity.
Recently gas burst up alongside the
pillar with report like that of thun-
der, large flow of oil and water fol-
lowed, and before half hour passed
around the pillar began to sink and was
soon out Of sight. In twenty-eight hours
basin some thirty-fve feet in diameter
and no one can tell how deep was
formed and was filled with water, which
is constantly in motion, and the earth
for several feet around it also moves up
and down. 1t is believed that the well
is an outlet for subterranean sea of oil,
gas and salt water, and that it is in the
Maxburg oil and coal fields. Thousands
of people visited it and are afraid to
make an investigation. The oil, when
separated from the gas and water, is of
first class quality The roar of escaping
gas and the underground grumbling can
be heard for miles around"

The Soda Water Season Open.

Soda water fountains are blossoming
out all over the east side for the sum-
mer season. There seems to be more
soda water drank there than anywhere
else in the city. Prices are one, two
and three cents a glass. The highest
price is for a new flavor which seems to
be fashionable on the east side, though
it has not yet apparently become known
elsewhere. 1t is spelled in different
ways, but the usual spelling seems to be
Aramatariene rose. This is the cost
hest flavor that there is. Another popu-
lar flavor, which sells for only two
cents, is rosberiy, according to the soda
water spelling. New York Sun.

twenty three defections in the shape of
members who married; but the club
gained e575 in fines at the rate of eos a

every community. That was the prin-
ciple involved in protection and the
speaker showed by his illustrations just
where the benefits came in especially to
the farmer. He said history showed
that those countries devoted exclusive
ly to agriculture were only little re-
moved from barbarism if indeed they
had not relapsed into it. Diversified
industries had been the means of maxi
ing this country the grandest under the
sun and he believed its voters would re-
fuse to change that policy.
