Big Score.

The inter-club cricket matches for the
Hunter Harrison cup, played yesterday,
resulted in victories for the Pacific and
Alameda clubs, which are now bracketed
for first place. The Alamedas and Bo-
hemians met at Alameda. The latter, be-
ing sent first to bat, were disposed of for
forty-seven runs, two of their best men,
West and the Incompatible Robertson,
falling to score even a single.
With such a modest total to buck
against, the champion team went in with
confidence, and although but two of its
batsmen-Moriarty and Gardner-reacned
double figures, the opponents score was
overtopped by twenty-nine runs. In their
second though, through lack of time, un-
availing effort, the Bohemians did them
selves justice with score of 124, to which
their captain contributed a well-played
seventy-six. Had this been their first in
stead of their second inning, the result
won for Alameda by twenty nine runs
might have been reversed. The score:

Alderman Jones Mishap.

Thomas Mckinley Jones, the rotund
and affable councilman from the
Third ward, is feeling a little lame
today. He drove in from Carlton
yesterday with cultiyator hitched
behind his buggy. When on the hill
by Lenhart's south Of town he got out
to fix something when as he worked
at it the horse started and tangled
Thomas up in way that was fearful
to contemplate. 1t either dragged
him or ran over him or cultivated
him-Thomas don't know which-but
it made a very weary, lame and dusty
streak of humanity for about ten rods
Of highway until the horse stopped.
No special election to fill the vacancy
will be necessary, however, as he will
be able to attend council meeting to-

Another Good Republican. =

The News is amusing again this
week. Awhile ago 1t published list
Of alleged free silverite Republicans,
and nearly every man has come out
in a card and denounced it as a base
falsiiier. This week it prints a card
from Hugh Mcvicker Of Talmage who
announces that be cannot vote for Nc
Kinley but will support Bryan, and
the News says: "Another good Re-
publican deserts the gold standard
jumping Caesar! Mr.. Mcvicker has
not been Republican for six years.
He was one Of the widest Alliance
Populists in the county. He was so
angry at the REFLEoToR's telling the
truth about that unholy political
scheme that be came in and stopped
his paper in the summer Of 1890.
(The REFLECTOR has not ceased publ
cation on that account, 1t will be
noticed.) He has voted the Pop ticket
ever since and been one OF Of the most
ardent advocates OF Populism. "An-
other good Republican," think Of it!

one dreaded disease that science has
loen able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrb. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional eatment.
Halls Catarrb Cure is taken intern
ally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces OF the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-

its work. The proprietors have SO

Abe will rise in the ranks--he is that

to wear common clothes instead of

smoky Hill valley Il Hssdquartsrs
for Yellow Blossoms.

The sunhower is in its glory in
Kansas Just n,w. Nowhere perhaps
ID the State is there more gorgeous
display than between this city and
Junction, where rain prevented the
harvesting a. considerable wheat.
The Kansas City Star says: up the
Smoky Hill valley where 7. G. Henry
used to have his big wheat fields,
there are now many farms that are
owned to great extent by people Of
the East and are not titled as are the
farms Of that section which are held
by those who are directly interested
in their progress. Here one can see,
In the bottomlands, where the wheat
was not harvested because Of the
foods that were SO damaging in that
region, the inroads Of the sunhower.
1t has grown in great masses in the
fertile soil Of the valley and the stalks
are Of the size Of giant clubs-indeed
it Is not unlikely that they will make
good firewood for the coming winter.
Now they are 10 feet high and the big
yellow blossoms are thick on the
sturdy branches. As they have un-
folded they have presented a beauti'
full picture to the passengers on the
trains who have been almost as much
interested in them as were those Of
the old days in the wheat fields that
seemed endless. In one place 100
acres OF these gorgeous blossoms are
in full bloom. 1t is veritable sea of
yellow. But it is only sample Of
the pictures that are now scattered
over the State and a traveller can get
q better view Of the favorite blossom
Of the Kansan than at other time"
