to know what our Congressman

his respects to the Peoples Party

THE DENVER DISASTER.
Work of Rescue Abandoned Tin the
Wallis are Torn Down.

Denver, Col, Aug. 20.-Work on the
ruins of the Gumry was suspended and
the search for bodies abandoned this after
noon until the walls, which threaten to
topple over and bury the workmen, could
be pulled down. 1t is believed there are
at least ten more bodies in the ruins and
several days will probably elapse before
all can be recovered. The body of James
Murphy was shipped to Cincinnati to-
night. The body, of George Burt, the
Rock Island railroad conductor, was
shipped to Chicago. The body of Myron
Il. Hawley, the Union Pacific railway
cerk. was sent to Omaha by request of
his wife, who was in Chicago when he
met his death. The body of Frederick
Houbbold was sent to Lisbon, Ia, where
he resided, and the bodies of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert G. Creiner will be sent to
Grand Rapids, Mich, where they formerly
lived. The anxiety felt regarding j. A

somewhat removed today when it was
learned that the room they occupied Sat

that silver will never be restored as long

NOT DEAD YET.
There is Still Some Prospects for Base
ball in Austin.


Baseball is not dead yet in Austin. Bad
ly disfgured but still in the ring, starting
today. The Austin picked nine will start
the unfinished season by playing every
Sunday and one or two days during the
week for the balance of the season. The
picked nine lis one of the strongest anna
teur teams i'm the State and with the addi-
ton of Davis and Jacks of the defunct
Austin league team will tend to make ii
still stronger Lots of the cranks will re-
member the days of the Austin Athletics
and picked nine. When they played out
at Hyde Park they drew crowds of from
1000 to 1900 people. And what games
they did put up! Two to three, seven and
eight, ten innings and tie games, such as
the old Joplins used to play. Now, after
the league team was dropped out by led
Sullivan and Billy Works few cranks
have formed the picked nine; with Pat
sey Smith as manager. 1t depends on
fine Austin cranks, fans and lovers of the
game whether we will have baseball
the rest of the season. A small admits
sion fee of % cents will be charged to
help nay the expenses of the visiting
team. =,
Today we will have Round Rock. 1t
is considered one of the strongest teams IN
the vicinity, they being victorious over
Georgetown, Hutto and Taylor. Ladies
will be admitted free to aid games, and
Manager Smith wants all the ladies to
attend to cheer his boys to victory. Those
who attend today will miss an exciting
game of ball as both teams are very even
" matched. The following will represent
the picked nine: Davis, catch; Walker,
pitch: Pat Smith, first base; Gal brown
second base; Carlisle, third base: McCar-
tw, short stop; Jacks, left field; CapertOn
