The battle-ship Oregon and employees of
the Union Iron Works covered good deal
OF ground and were as prominent feature
OF the parade as there was in it. Every
body was interested in the miniature Ore
gon belching real fire and smoke and the
sound of battle from its real steel guns.
Smoke poured from the smokestaek. The
battle-ship was carried on an immense
float drawn by six proud, decorated horses,
with riders as we'll as driver. 1t was
decorated with flags after the manner of a
real battle-ship. The many guns fired
blank cartridges all along the parade from
Front street to the counter march on Van
Ness avenue. There was dog on the
hurricane deck labeled "Mascot." On the
two sides of the battle-ship were these in
scTiptions in black letters: "Our Latest
Baby" "16.79 Knots" Protection -
Labor"
Behind the model of the Oregon marched
about 1900 workmen of the Union Iron
Works. Some carried banners, others
clamps, and the rivet boys were there
holding rivets in tongs. The electrical
workers brought up the rear, riding in a
covered wagon decorated with flags.

Our Ball Club.

The Kingwood Base Bali Club is
stronger this year than for years and
is composed Of good players II the boys
impossible To get them down to hard
work, and they hardly ever have hold
of ball or bat, except when they go
out 20 play n regular game. The re-
suit is that they generally get beat,
although putting up good game, con-
sideriug the little playing they do,
The members of the club are as follows:
Harvey, Glenn. viii and Frank Carroll
(only four Carrolrs) Grant Bower.
James Hayes, DIR. Jas a Graham, j..
Morgan Orr, George McGee and W. W.
Monroe. Harvey Carroll is Captain
They make n good battery. Then jim
Graham and Win Monroe can pitch
also, in case they arc needed, while
Frank Carroll can catch for change.
The ball park here in the Brown Adj
dition, is one of the best grounds in the
county, handy for practice and easy Of
access for spectators Quite a sum has
been raised TO get the club inform and
equipments and it is high time the
boys were getting in shape for bust
ness Seven of the club went out to
Masontown Saturday afternoon to play
a practice game with the club out
there James w. White was umpire
and 1t was so late in beginning they
only played five innings resulting in a
score of 6 to 10 in favor of Masontown.
The latter club is to be here Saturday
afternoon TO play return game, when
our boys expect TO do better.

More Mad Dog.

Our people have had another mad
dog scare this week and several more
CANNES have gone 20 tho dog heaven.
Sunday long, lean, ''yaller" dog ar
rived in Kingwood from towards Reeds
vile and had several fights with dogs
while passing through town and acted
strangely, but succeeded i'm getting
through with his life. He went on
down to Henry Copeman's, two miles
below town, and attacked girl they
are raising, named Margaret Kidd,
frightening her nearly to death and
biting her severely in the arm. The
dog caught her by the arm and LAGER
ated IL terribly before she could escape.
Col Brown was there at the time and
heard her screaming and ran to her
rescue One of the boys brought "A gun
and shot at the dog and the Colonel
followed him and got one shot at him
but the dog escaped and came back
through town biting more dogs as he
passed through, so that IL is reported
that eight or ten dogs here were bit
ten by him altogether He started to-
wards TOWNSVILLE and IL is said belongs
TO Brailer, the carpet weaver, at
TOWNSVILLE. Several parties from here
followed with guns, and DIR. Pratt and
Bob Orr led the charge. They saw
they could not catch him on foot, so
Pratt mounted one of Il. L. Repperts
horses that was running out, and with
out bride or saddle, pursued the fee
ing foe. He overlook him out at the
old Raveuscraft farm and fred into him
and hit him with his Winchester while
the horse and dog both were on dead
run. The Doctor brought him 20 the
ground In fact the shot dropped dog,
horse, gun, Doctor and all in the mid
die Of the road. The Doctor hurt his
shoulder and ruined his gon, but he
killed the dog There is talk of taking
the girl TO the Pasteur Hospital in New
York for treatment All the dogs in
town should be kept securely muzzled
and confined now for time, till IL Is
seen whether any are effected or not
and at the first symptoms they should
be taken out and shot, as the risk is
too great TO neglect any precaution,
and hydrophobia Is a terrible disease
and IL would be better TO kill Off the
dogs in the county than TO have one
person die with IL.
