of Base Ball.
The management of the Delaware State
Fair have completed its arrangements with
the Philadelphia Base Ball Club of the
National League and the Dover Base Ball
Club, champions of Delaware. to play two
games Of base ball on the Fair grounds
during thecoming fair.
The games will be eplayed on Wednesday
and Thursday, October and 8 and will be
called promptly at 8 o'clock, p. m.
These games of base ball will be of un-
usual interest and is surely one of the great
est attractions the association could offer
for the amusement of its patrons.
While the Philadelphia club has nation.
al reputation and is c,mposed of some of
the best players in the country, the Dover
club can boast Of similar distinctions To-
cally. and will surely prove to be worthy
opponent Of this professional club. Look
out "Phillies" that our boys don't beat
you.

The editor laughed, and for the first
time since his defeat as a candidate for
the legislature. "She's nothing of the
sort" he said. ''Tote tell YOU the truth
she has just leased my paper for year
with the privilege of buying, and she
assures me that it shall maintain its

asked. "We don't want women comm
in here among our folks without we
know where they are from"
"She came from Chicago"
What, and you are sure she amt an
anarchist? Look here, colonel, you
ought to have gone little slow in this
matter. She might hoist the red flag
at the head of your paper and then
where would the country be?"
"No danger of that" the editor
laughed, and off he walked, leaving

whether or not he should call on the

ALT spelled and spluttered for a mo-

1t did not appear that the boy had
more than reached the shanty where
the paper was printed when they saw
the editor coming hastily toward the
hotel. To him the prospect of an i'm
portant business conference no doubt
produced strange sensation. Year
after year he had ''scrapped" for liv-
ing in that village, printing funeral
tickets, horse bills, and through his
sheet urging his party to organize and
overthrow the political enemy of his
country. The idlers about the door of
the hall made way for him as he APP
preached, but the mayor, showing q
disposition to block his path. asked him
to wait a moment. The editor gave

The crowd stood about the door,
waiting for him to come down, and

mean? The mystery was deepened.

CHAPTER I.
What was called union revival was
in progress at the principal meeting
house in Broomfield, an old and quilted
village in the southwestern part of
Missouri, and the exhorters, vigorous
advocates of change of heart and pur-
pose, were warm in their work when
the slight futter of a counter excite
ment arose amid the congregation.
Old Bill Aimes, strong among the ex-
horters, and who long had enjoyed the
name of wheel Horse" looked toward
the door and saw strange young
woman slowly and with long strides
walking down the aisle. She was ex-
ccedingly tall and with complexion
that seemed to darllen as she drew
near, but she was not ungraceful and
neither was her face wanting in at
Effectiveness. Her tailor-made gown
was & mark of ultra fashion in this out
of-thc-way place; and her air, her
swing of motion bespoke the forced in
| dependence of city life. She paid not
the slightest heed to the gazes bent
upon her, but with easy freedom took
| a seat and lnodestly turned her eyes to-
| ward the altar where the mourners in
split and shivered accents were pit
iably begging that the old Adam born
| within them might be cast out into
! utter darkness. And now the whisper
went round: "Who is she and where
did she come from and what is she do
| ing here?" Some of the children
climbed upon the benches to stare at
her, and old Bill Aimes, always bold
| man, looked straight at her and shout
ed his exhortation as though he would
| have her believe that she had arrived
| just in time to escape the awful fury
| to come. But the woman sat there not
| the least disturbed; and when the serv.
ices were brought to a close she got up
without looking about her and walked
straiChtway to the tavern, short dis
lance down the street. It appeared
that she had already engaged a room,
for she walked upstairs without halt
ing, and a few moments later boy
came down with a note in his hand.
Bill Aimes was standing near the door
of the hallway, and as the boy came
down the old man called to him and
| told him to stop moment.
boy, what have you got there?' the
| old fellow asked.
GA note, or something Of the sort,'
! he answered.
"What are you going to do with it?"
| "She told me to take it to the editor
| of the Sentinel"
| "Well, let me see it." The boy hest
tated. LET me see it, tell you. Amt
the mayor of this town, you young
rascal, and amt it my business to know
it if any underhand business goes on
| here? Give me that thing"
| 7 lie idlers who stood about applaud
ed the mayor and the boy handed him
the note. "IIere, Alf," he said, speak
ing to a young fellow, read this here
thing. Left my buckskin at home and
amt got nothing to rub my glasses
with. Read it" There was litter

Shot To kIIi.

Charles Neal was shot by George Harris yesterday morning, in Rolling X Rogers saloon. It seems to have been premeditated attempt to com init murder. A few minutes after 8 o'clock Harris went to Westmeyer's store and asked for 44-calibre pistol cartridges. Mir. Westmeyer handed him box that had been opened, and then went to the front of the store to wait on lady customer Harris step ped into the adjoining warehouse, where, as has since been learned, he extracted five cartridges from his re- volver and replaced them with five new ones. He then walked out through the store, stopped and exchanged a few words with Mir. Westmeyer, and passed on down the street. A few minutes later he entered Rolling X Rogers saloon and deliberately shot l Neal
 It was done so quickly that no one | in the saloon seemed to realize what had happened. Neal backed against the bar and for few moments gave no sign of being hurt. Sheriff Thomp- son, having heard the shot, entered the saloon, ordered Harris out, and disarmed him, supposing he had few drinks too many in him, and had fired his pistol at random. Then some one Inside the saloon called out that q man had been shot The sheriff re- entered the saloon. saw Neal lying on table. and then started in pursuit of Harris, whom he captured in the can you north of Alonzo Bailey's residence, Neal had been shot in the left breast, about two inches to the left of the nipple, the bullet coming out at the back to the left Of the spine. Doctors Fox and Collins made a somewhat nasty examination of the wound, and found it was not necessarily fatal, The bullet is supposed to have passed around the body over the ribs.
 The patient was sleeping quietly this morning. He was out of his head yes terday; he is epileptic and crazy at times, and his nlalady is aggravated by the whiskey habit
 In August last Neal was an inmate of the Southern California State Asy- ! lum for the Insane and Iuebriates, at San Bernardino. He was released August 2, and stated that the author ities at San Bernardino paid his fare to ] Yuma,
 Harris is @ carpenter and contractor , who has lived here about five months, and bore @ good reputation. He has little to say about the shooting, ex' cept that Neal had threatened to kill him.
