Fennlmore pefents Lancaster

The Lancaster boys met with their
second defeat by the Fennimore lads
last Thursday in a game OF ball at the
fair grounds. While the home BOYS
played in hard luck the visiting team
played good game.
Cairns, 1ancaster's new pitcher,
threw some hard ''twisters'' but he
was occasionally found by the visitors
who made number Of two baggers
and at the close of the game their score
numbered thirteen.
Riley made some good plays on short
while 'Howdyn Rhodes, on second,
made a number Of hot catches on
'-liners" but made number of errors.
the result Of his being too active and
trying to touch a man before the ball
was actually in his hands. But the
old saw says that Practice makes
perfect" and consequently the boys
intend to fix ''Howdyn up for sec
ond-base man.
Harker pitched good game for the
visitors, the home team making very
few hits; most Of the hits they did
make going right into the visitors
hands. Their luck was down and ii
was with difficulty and few errors
on the part of the visitors that they
succeeded in pounding out seven runs
during the game.
The Lancaster boys are now getting |
in pretty good trim and number of
games are scheduled for the near flu
ture. The people should turn out and
give them good support, as it gives
the boys more encouragement and
they will then play better ball.

On Friday night, June y, there
was blowout and dance at the Two
Mile house, the old Tyler house, sit
uated ? miles east Of East Dubuque in
Grant county a man named Tim
othy Duggan runs the place and the
dance took place in house opposite
the saloon. At between l and
o'clock Saturday morning man nam
ed Doolin was in Duggan's saloon. He
wanted liquor and for some reason
the saloonkeeper refused to give it to
him; row ensued and there was but
one blow struck. Duggan struck
Doolin over the head with a club
which was fashioned like a rolling pin
with handle on one end. The con
cussion ruptured blood vessel in the
unfortunate mans brain and he fell
to the floor in an unconscious state i'm
which he remained until o'clock

- aJIeVllIe witness: Our old
friend, j p Hubbard of Rockville,
was caller on Saturday last. In
speaking of the tragedy when took
place at British Hollow the other day
he said it recalled the fact that within
radius Of two miles of that place
had been the scene of many accidents
and tragedies during the past twenty
years About fifteen years ago Geo.
Haywood was instantly killed by
cap rock caying in on him. Chas.
White and Andrew jackson were bad
ly crippled in the same way. A rock
cayed in on them while they were
drilling and they would both have
been killed but the drill saved them.
A child of Phineas Stanton was
drowned in a branch which enters the
Big Platte near the bridge. And
about hundred yards from that nolnt
Minnie Jones was found dead, cause
unknown. In the same Reighborhood
occurred the shooting Of Button
Rice. And only within the past
month Joseph Kitto was killed in
shaft He could not give the exact
date but he said he remembered the
events as though they had occurred
but yesterday.

TIE fact that the Craig election bill
has been reported to the house Of dele
gates by the committee on elections
leads to the hope that the legislature
will yet pass bill which will be great
improvement over the Walton law. The
above bill Is framed very much on the
order of the New York election law, and
among its provisions are the following:
Uniformity Of the bsllots, with column
and emblem thereon for each party;
posting copy OF the ballot oonspiou.
ouslY OF the polls; abolishing special
constables and giving the Ignorant
voter the privilege Of calling on one OF
the judges to assist him in the presence
OF the other judges. AS ID WAS under-
stood that only one election bill was to
be reported to the house, and as this
embodies all the advantages Of the
senate bill. with substantial improve
ments, there is reason to hope that the
legislature is beginning to realize the
political situation, and will act accord

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

Notwithstanding the failure OF 80
many efforts to construct water way
from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans
1t is believed the Nioaraguan canal will
yet be completed, and that the United
States Government will own and con-
troll 1t. 1t will be great day for this
country and for the world when the
canal ia formally opened to traffic. and
though just now such time seems far
distant, everything is possible to
American enterprise and pluck. A dis
patch from Washington yesterday says:
"The House subcommittee on inter.
Gtase aud foreign commerce, having
charge of measures pertaining to the
Nicaragua canal, met to-day and prac-
tically completed its labors. II its pres
emit plans are carried out bill will
soon be reported to the full committee,
and consequently to the House, looking
to the completion of the canal.
1.-The proposed bill has not yet been
drafted, but in its outline 1t provides for
the speedy completion of the work on
the canal under the direction OF gov
eminent engineers, 30 that the construc-
ton and operation of the waterway when
completed will be under the control of
this government in all desirable and
practical ways. This form OF recon-
mendation was decided upon"
