The Turner's Get Next to the Missions and
Are Close Behind Them.
Captain George Icke and his Mis-.
sion bowlers met their equal last
night in the Turner'S, and their
trouble has begun. The Missions
have two more games to play away
from home, and IL the Sommers
and Hayseeds can pull a game
apiece from them, the champions
will soon be on the toboggan slide.
The Turner's walked away with the
Missions in the first game, espe.
cially in the third inning, when
the Missions made but 26 pins to
the Turner's 81. The Missions
started in we'll the second game
and the score in the second inning
was SO to so in the visitors bal
ance, but in the third, the Missions,
oh, where were they-5S to 81 on
the Turner's side. The rext inning
was just as bad when the Turner's
knocked their opponents out by
score Of 81 to SO. The Missions
made squirt in the fifth inning,
but the Turner's closed the deal in
the last inning and a volley Of
cheers was sent up for the club
that was the first to defeat the in
yincible Missions two straights.

Lincoln's Last Law Case.

Speaking of Lincoln's birthday"
said Senator Palmer, reminds me that
the very last case Lincoln ever tried was
one in which /, too, was engaged. 1t
was in Springfield, in June, 1860, after
Mr.. Lincoln had received the presiden-
tial nomination. Old David Baker, who
had been senator i'll the early days, had
sued the trustees of Shurtleff college.
my alma mater, for expelling his grand
son, lad named Will Gilbert. Mr..
Lincoln appeared for the prosecution. 1
was the college attorney. Mr.. Lincoln
came into court, and the judge said to
him: Mr.. Lincoln. I'll argue this case
for You. You have too much on your
hands already. You haven't any case. ,
And he explained the law and appIica-
tion.
Well, said Mr.. Lincoln, with a
smile, don't you want to hear a speech
from me?'
NO. said the Judge, and the last
case MIR. Lincoln tried newell, he
didn't try it at all. "-Washington Post.

"a central building three stories

be devoted to small dining rooms.
and the third story to contain the
kitchen, the food to be lowered to
the dining room below by means of

building and connected with covered
ways, will be a number of cottages
or wings, these to be only two stories
high. each floor to by complete hos
pital for itself, having on it sleeping
rooms. day rooms. parlors, closets
and bath rooms. The patients will go
through the covered way to their
own private dining room in the GEN.,

their living room and return to their
own apartments without coming into
contact with the patients of any other
apartment. They will reach the out
side grounds by means of an inde-
pendent entrance to each floor or

is to accommodate from twenty-five
