The passing of the Populists iq not
without it's pathetic side. They sur
rendered the state house as they had
taken possession of it, hated by their
political opponents, and that too with
out reasonable cause. intellectually
they averaged well up with those who
had preceded them, and socially they
were as agreeable. But they had over
thrown the the republican party and
thrown out of office men who had come
to regard the public treasury as their
private snap, and for that reason they
wers looked upon as intruders and as
enemies of good government. Topeka
Ieople combinded to ostracize them,
and during the two years they were in
control of the affairs of the state it is
not recorded that they were accorded
social recognition by any republican
family of position in the city. They
thus were forced to seek social diver
sion among themselves. They en-
dured this slight overwhelmingly, but
that they felt it keenly was manifested

Cap'n Dick gave his fellow MagIcians
sn object lesson yesterday on how to
Kill the ball without spelling the hide.
When he faced MoKenns the second
time he lined the ball into far center
held, and when 1t reached the diamond
he was safely perched on the third bag.
The next time he came up the sphere
sailed into extreme right field, and the
net result Was two bags. On his las.
appearance at the plate the leather
vanished over left field fence.
.Fultz came along with home run
and two singles as his contribution TO
the pile of hits made of Nc Kenna, while
Stshis brace OF two baggers and Clark's
DOUBLE and phantom single helped the
good cause along. McKenna ranks with
Lynchburg's most effective twirlers,
hut the Magicians touched him up hard
and often. Their fourteen hits included
i've two base hits, q triple and two
home runs.
Inc visitors opened up on Fry saw
aRely In the first inning. Flock, the
hrss man up. hit the first ball pitched
and trotted home while the ball was
being recovered from the corn field
beyond the left field fence. FRY sent
Smith to first on balls. Berryhill forced
him at second, but got there himself on
McIntyre's single. Thompson filled the
corners by walking to first on called
oalis' and Ferguson met the situation
by hitting safely into right field and
sending home Berryhill and McIntyre.
At this stage of the game Fry was taken
out and Lloyd took his place. With
Thompson on third and Ferguson on
second, Schsbel hit to Cavanaugh, who
threw out Thompson at the plate. Scha.
bel kept on to second and Welch lined
the ball down to Padden, who made no
attempt to retire the big catcher, but
got the ball back home In time TO cut
of Ferguson. The double play was bril-.
liantly executed and fully merited the
hearty applause 1t evoked. Leahy's
single and stolen base, Plock's out at
first and wild pitch gave the visitors
their fourth and last run in the second.
After that they failed to get q runner
past the middle corner.
hcKenna began to take his punish-
ment in the initial inning. Fultz pushed
beauty over the wall for q home run.
Little also drove long fly to right
field, which the fielder reached but
failed to hold, the runner going to third
when Mcintyre dropped she ball on the
throw in. A wild pitch scored Little.
Two more came around in the sec ond on
Csvanaugh's base on balls. singles by
WEIGH and Viox. brace of stolen bases
for the latter, and Lloyd's out at first
when Schabel failed to hold the third
strike. Stahl's double and Paddens
triple added one in the third. Two
earned runs counted In the fifsh on
Little's single and doubles by Stnhl and
Padden. A base on balls for Viox and
doubles by Clark and Sherer brought in
two more In the eighth, while Padden's
drive over left fence made the tenth and
last run.
The Magicians put degree O.: lite
and ginger into their performance
that was refreshing. They are rapidly
regaining the confidence OF the cranks,
who at heart are always loyal and have
only waited the long-looked- signs
OF a brace up" on the part Of the team
to give them a chance to shout.

Its close the case YVES given to the jury,
who retired to dinner and deliberate
over the case to report their verdict at 3
o'clock. ~
At 2:45 the jury returned. and, during
breathless suspense on the part of those
interested, took their seats in the jury
box. The accused was sent for and the
jury polled. Inc foreman arose, and,
In clear, strong voice, announced the

teenth day OF the Msssey-Pilot libel
suit began and closed with the resting
of the case on the part of the defend

show conspiracy that defense offered,
and exceptions were noted by Captain

Postmaster Cullingworth is considerably
worried by the recent order OF the de-

been for carriers 10 assist In distribution

carriers are trained to that work. The
time they thus put in Is counted In their
eight hours, and the system greatly facili-
tates early delivery But for the system
some OF the carriers could not make

force shall have been trained, and wait
ing-room will have 10 be fitted up for the
carriers AS far as IL known the Rich
