Our Rail- Team Abroad,

The Great Bend ball team won the
game at Minneapolis last Thursday by
a score of to 4; Friday we lost, to g.:
Saturday we won, 9 to 8. The Omaha
league battery had been imported for
the occasion, but our boys knocked the
pitcher out of the box. They batted
Shepherd Of Emporia equally hard.
Joe McMuliin, for the Bend, pitched a
good game the first day.
Monday our team lost at Junction
City by a score of 8 to 5, and on Tues
day lost again, 8 to 2. AS we go to
press the result of the third game is
not known here, but the most sanguine
expect another defeat. Our club is
weaker than it has been this season,
while Junction has hired the best men
to be found in the state. If Great
Bend expects to be in it with the class
of people she is now tackllng she must
strengthen her team.

exhibition of stock, crops. manufac>
lures, ETC., there will be running,

provided. Address Sam G. Sheaffer,

One reason why people fail in cleaning
furniture coverings is that they are too
economical in tho use Of naphtha 1t
must be literally poured on to be effective.
Standing in tn e breeze it will eyaporate
very quickly. and will destroy every yes
tige of moths. If the articles are to be
left in the house they may be wrapped
in sheets, tightly pinned around them.
This keeps a certain amount of the odor
in the furniture for long time, and rem
ders it doubly safe.
1t cannot be too strongly emphasized
that no light Of any kind must bes taken
into the rooms while the naphtha- cleaned
articles, recently finished, are there. The
infiammable nature of naphtha vapor
makes it exceedingly dangerous when
brought near flame.
Cushions, carpets and wool draperies
may safely be cleaned in this way and all
that is necessary is to throw all draperies
over line in the yard, open the win
dows, remove the wrappings from the
furniture, and let the breeze have full
sweep through the roopls for day or
two Then there will be no offensive
smell, and the furniture may be used
with perfect safety so far as danger from
fire is concerned. Carpet and Upholstery
