Eagle River WINS The Two
Games with Hurley.

Last Saturday and Sunday tho
nome team crossed bats with Hurley
mere winning both games. The game
saturday was very close one and
IL took twelve innings to decide If
the home nine winning by one score.
Our team was badly Handicapped in
the llrst game especially for want of
battery. Our pitcher Diamond
was injured in the Amigo game and
the catcher was out OF town. OsCon-
nor and Weiderman filled the points
Tor the first three innings and Hurley
secured quite a lead. Then Diamond
Went in to pitch with Colman behind
the bat and in spite OF his lame arm
held the Hurley boys down pretty
well and succeeded in beating them.
In the Sunday game Diamond
again tried to pitch but his arm was
in such condition that he could do
nothing. After giving the Hurley
men three scores and having two
more men on bases Cossibone the
catcher went in to throw and Colmau
took his place behind the bat. After
this change the visitors only sue.
ceeded in getting two scores making
their total five.
The visitors played good ball in
the first part of the game but in the
fourth inning the home nine pounded
out five runs which put them well in
the lead and discouraged their oppo-
nents SO that from that time out
they had every thing their own way
winning by score Of rs to 5.
For the home team Coyne at sec
ond played great bail. He took
every thing in sight in the field and
did good work at the bat. Colman
did good work behind the stick be-
sides pounding the ball all over the
field every time lie came in to bat.
Ho did some of tn best batting ever
seen on the ground. The boys played
with vim that was refreshing and
run bases as though some one was
after them with a warrant.
Cossibone, Attorney Coyne's nephew
who was here and helped the boys
out did good service and considering
that his position lis catcher he
pitched an excellent game.
The Hurley nine, although haiiing
from that place, is made up from the

were not included the cost Of the metal

ate matter and there was q bid put in
to furnish it. ST. Paul Roofing & Iron
Co., iron work $2.453.00. This would !
have made the lowest bid for complete
ing the building $1o.898.00. The board
rejected all bids and are Tow figuring
on using brick veneering. Besides !
having tho site furnished free, The
court house matter has already cost the |
county Il pretty tidy little sum and TIE
board are no nearer making q start on
the building than they were months

ANTIQUITY of tho Pumn.

The common water pump of to-day is
but an improvement on Grecian in.
vention which first came into general
use during the reign of the Ptolcmies,
Philadelphcs and Encrgetes, 2S3 to 221
b. c. The name, which is very similar
in all languages. is derived from the
Greek word ''pempo." to send or throw.
The most ancient description we have
OF the water pump is by Hero of Alex
ander. There is no authentic account
of its general use outside of Egypt pre-.
vious to its introduction into the Ger
man provinces at about the opening Of
the sixteenth century. Pumps with
plungers and pistons were invented by
Morland, an Englishman. in 1874; the
double acting pump by De la Hire, the
French academician, some twenty years
later.

wenlth from tho Sen.

Scientific Journals in England spcal,
approvingly of new method of manu-
featuring caustic soda, chlorine and
other chemical products directly from
sea water with the aid of electricity.
There is an immense saving of time,
labor and material in the process. 1t is
readily seen that man gets a fresh
grasp on the boarded treasures of
nature through such discovery. Per.
haps the most interesting suggestion
made in connection with this new
method of manufacturing chemicals is
that of Science Gossip to the effect that
electricity may yet enable us so to purify
sea water as to fit it for drinking pur-
poses. One of the greatest terrors that
confront the shipwreched would be
banishcd by such a discovery, provided
that the electrical apparatus could be
made portable enough to be taken off
in boat.
