She had been a sufferer for many
years. how great one few knew as
she was always cheerful and uncom-

infinite patience and true Christian
heroism.
For months she had been confined
to her bed, the object OF the deepest
solicitude of her devoted sisters and
brothers, whose loving care and tender
nursing could only alleviate her pain
as death had set its seal.
Her only anxiety was for the aged
and afflicted father whose care had de-
volved upon her since the sudden
death of the mother so short time
ago. She was most dutlful daugh-

Base Ball News.

There has been so much base ball
during the last week that it is impos-
sible to write up the games in detail
and have room for anything else.
The following are the games and
scores of the week: "Wednesday Of
last week at Potosi. Black Diamonds
vs.. Potosi, score 80 to % in favor Of
the Black Diamonds; Thursday at
Fennimore, Hinn's Colts "a. Models 8:

urday at Livingston, Lancaster 10,
PlatteyilIe Is; Tuesday at Platteville,
Lancaster 5, Platteville IA; Wednes-
day at Mineralpoint, Platteville 8,
Lancaster y.
The many losses of the Lancaster
club especially to Platteville, had
cast a gloom over Lancaster's base
ball enthusiasm like unto a nimbus
cloud, but the victory at Mlneralpoint
today, Wednesday. is a rift in the
cloud that shows its silver lining and
through which we catch glimps Of
the brightness beyond.
There are three games of ball at the
Mineralpoint fair this week, one be-
tween Platteville and Lancaster to-
day, Wednesday, in which Lancaster
was the winner; another tomorrow be-
tween Galena and Monroe; and third
Friday between Lancaster and the
winner Of the Galena-Monroe game.
There is a purse of $50 for each Of the
first games, $45 to the winner and
$50 for the loser and a purse of 1925
for Fridays game, $75 to the winner
and $50 to the loser.
Having won the game today Lam
caster players will be allowed to re-
turn home and if they win Friday,
the fatted calf will be killed.

MAN KILLED AT BBETOWN.
David Reed Impaled on the Handle OF Pitch
fork And Dies After Twsntg-four Hours OF
Intense Suffering.

On Thursday, Aug. ~, 1897. be-
tween and o'clock in the afternoon
at the farm of Albert Sturmer. one
mile north of Beetown, occurred a
terrible accident that resulted in the
death OF David Reed, married man
aged about S5 years.
On that day steam thresher with
it's gang of men were threshlng Tor
MIR. Sturmer, and David Reed was
employed for the occasion to assist by
the proprietor of the farm. Along
toward 5 o'clock in the afternoon the
thresher had completed its work and
the men came down off of the straw
stack. They had no ladder and used
a rail to slide down on, which was set
up against the strawpile. All OF the
men reached the ground safely ex-
cepting Reed, who was the last to
come down. 1t is reported that he
first threw his fork which stuck in
the grolnd, tines down, and stood up
close to the rail. Then he grasped
the rail and in starting to descend the
rail turned with him or in some man
ner he loosed his grip on the rail and
fell, feet first, alighting on the end OF
the handle of the fork. The shaft OF
wood entered his body and
pierced upward to the distance OF
16 or Is inches. His feet did not
touch the ground and he fell forward
with the fork onto his face. His
companion hastily withdrew the fork
from his body and going to Beetown
brought DR.. Blackburn to the unfort-
innate man. Every possible thing
was done for his relief, but Mr.. Reed
died after intense suffering at O'Clock
Friday evening, "a hours after the ac-
cident.
The funeral took place at 10 O'Clock
Sunday forenoon from Tue Nleenouie'
church in Beetown, Rev. John Jane
son conducting services. The shock
ing circumstances attending his
death and pity for the wife and three
children who deeply mourn for the
kind man they loved, brought very
large concourse of sympathetic friends
to the funeral.
David Reed resided in the James
Carmody house directly in the hamlet
of Beetown and depended for liveli-
hood upon such odd jobs OF work as
he could pick up by the day. The
father and mother and brothers OF de-
ceased reside at Burton. The lady
left widowed by the accident is Sis
ter of Mrs. Henry Carroll of Lancaster.

Races fit Riverside Driving Park.

Whatever the people of Cassville
undertake they do well. The f3rma-
ton Of their racing association and
the making of fin i track and grounds
are no exception. Although the act
ual work began only a few months ago
they have now one of the best tracks,
most commodious and attractive
grounds in the state. They are situ-
ated about a mile below the village of
Cassyille on a piece of land almost
perfectly level. The soil is sandy and
Consequently no drainage is necessary
the water from rains sinking at once.
Besides the advantages mentioned the
grounds are beautifully located. On
one side rise the majestic bluffs of the
Mississippi in the shadow of which
the locomotives of the great Burling-
ton railway system puff along with
their loads of passengers and freight.
On the other is the Father of Waters,
source of never ending wonder and
delight.
After having been properly graded
and rounded, the track was covered
with several inches of clay to make a
better footing for racers. A large and
comfortable amphitheatrew was erected,
tight high board fence around the
grounds built, numerous commodious
stalls for horses constructed and a
judges stand and other conveniences
made. Although the Riverside Driy-
ing Park association is the youngest
its track is second to none in the coun-
ty.
The first meeting in the new Park
was held last week and was success
in every way. Some of the best rae
ing ever seen in the county was wit
messed and.the fastest time ever made
in the county was recorded, Robert
Lee, a horse from-Iowa, trotting
mile in 2:21. The best time made
in Lancaster is 1928.
Good crowds were in attendance
both days of the meeting and although
liberal purses were given the associa-
ton is considerably ahead, financially,
on the meeting. The first day, We'd
nesday. was Dubuque day and excur-
sions both by river and railroad came
from Iowa's metropolis, but the next
day, Thursday. found more people in
attendance than on the day before
The First Regiment Band of Dubuque
furnished music both days and SPLEEN
didly entertained the people. 1t is
not often that county fair associations
are able to provide so good music as
that rendered at Cassville last week.
The credit for the success of the
new enterprise is due first to the Off
GERS. Lewis M. Okey, f. l.. Duncan
and Walter Kleinpell. and second to
the stockholders and citizens generally
who have so enthusiastically seconded
their efforts.

REPU BLlCAN ROW.
Senators Unable to Agree Upon the
Method of Dividing the SpOils'--A
Lively Tilt.

Washington, June 22.-An exciting
debate marked the consideration of the
wool schedule which began in the Sen
ate to-day. 1t developed the first open
disagreement on the Republican side
of the chamber and led to warm per-
sonal exchange between Senators Car
ter. OF Montana, and Foraker, of Ohio,
on one hand, and Mr.. Allison, OF Iowa,
in charge of the bill, on the other. Mr.
Foraker asserted that an agreement
concerning rates on certain woods was
being violated, and that under sucn
circumstances every Senator would be
free 10 act for himself. Mr., Allison,
with great vehemence, declared that
he could not be driven by threats. Mr..
Carter. who had entered the storm,
endeavored to have the paragraphs re-
lating to carpet woods go over with a
view to securing some united action,
but Mr.. Vest in an ironical speech, OBJ
iected to delaying the era of prosperity
and postponing the public business
while Republican Senators held a eau
Gus.
Mr.. Teller, of Colorado, also spoke
against delay, and took occasion to say
he would not vote for the bill unless
Objectionable features were eliminated.
Aside from this stormy interruption,
fair progress was made on the wool
schedule. The duty on tirst-class wool
was agreed to, at ten cents per pound,
and on second class wool, eleven cents,
which is between the House and Sen
ate rates in each case. The rates on
third-class woods went over. Most Of
the other amendments related to the
classification of woods. On one of the
amendments. Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas,
smoke against the entire schedule as
severely oppressive on the consumers
of wooden goods.
