Prison Sunday.

On the sth of November the
Nashville Ministers Alliance passed
resolution to observe the 2Sth of
November as Prison Sunday, and to
recommend the observance of this

Sunday be observed throughout the
State, especially in all the cities and
towns where there are jails, work
houses, and branch prisons.

Help From Congress.

A few days ago Hon. Josiah Pat
terson addressed a communication to
the Hon. Lyman J. Gage, Secretary
of the Treasury, recommending that
the subject of national quarantine
be brought to the attention of the
President of the United States when
he began the preparation of his next
message to Congress.
Col. Patterson is just in receipt
of a letter from Mr.. Gage, in
which he says: 81 am in receipt of
yours of the 5th inst, with recon-
mendations relating to quarantine
matters. l will submit your COM
munication to the President at the
first opportunity. | quite agree
with you that the subject is of great
importance and ought TO receive
Congressional attention"
Mr.. Gage, in his capacity of Sec
rotary of the Treasury, has charge
of the merchant marine, and his
voice in matter of this kind will
be more potent than that of any
other government officer. He liz a
thoughtful business man, and it is
gratifying to know that he appreci-
ates the importance of this question,
which is national in its scope.
Col. Patterson has always been an
ardent advocate of national quaran-
tine, and in spite of the peculiar COM
Plications which surround the title
TO his seat in Congress, is doing
everything in his power to secure /
the passage of laws which will meet
the occasion.-Scimitar.

He Net His Match.

entertaining admirers at the country

"Well, I'll be durned," comment

woodbox with his knees on a level
with his eyes.
''True as you live. l tell you,
gentlemen, there is no limit to the

One of the best repartees on re-
cord is that of Foote, the actor.
Dining with some friends, a heated
dispute arose between himself and
a young gentleman. The latter
sought to disparage Foote by asking
him what his father was. "a

The Public School.

EDITOR BULLETIN-Boliva ten
months public school seems to be
in a muddle. The result of the late
election, held for the purpose of
voting an extra school tax, evinced
the fact that nearly two thirds of
our voting population favor the
proposition. Hence the fault is not
attributable to the people. 1t seems
that we have started out in the
wrong way. /, for one, am willing

sired end, that Will stand the tests

As q result Of some disturbance in
Dillon last week Mrs. Lille Day
swore out a complaint against Mrs.

charging threat to kill her. Mrs.
Rowe was arrested and brought to the
city last night and released under
bond Of 5000 for a hearing Saturday
in Quinn's court when an effort will
be made to place her under bond to

issued against James Rowe, her hus-

against their son William charging
him with liquor selling. The injunc-
ton was served but not the warrant.
William has taken an indefinite vaca-

NEW YORK. June S.-The journal this

sul-General Lees report on the Ruiz
case to Secretary Sherman. 1t is dated
Havana, May 81, and says in part:
deduce from my knowledge Of the facts the
following conclusions,

Second-He was placed under an improper
jurisdiction and died before the proper tribunal
considered his case, thereby giving him no OPP
portunity to prove his innocence
Third-He was kept "incommunicado" In a
solitary cell for SSl hours in violation Of his
treaty rights, which limit such confinement to
u hours
Fourth-He died from congestion Of the
brain, produced by blow on the top Of the
head
Fifth-There are two theories connected
with the wound on the head. One, that In a
state Of mental excitement he ran across the
cell as described by one Of the jailers, and
butted his head on the door in frantic
effort to get out Another that he was strucl,
over the head with one Of the clubs car
ried by the jailers-by the immediate watch
man who had PROBABLY ordered him
to cease his cries for relief and for his chill
dren' and upon his not doing so, struck him
with more force than he intended, or 1t is pos

fess or give evidence against others. 1t Is

TOPEKA GETS ONE.
ABILENE LOSES ITS FIRST HOME
GAME.
Dust and Wind Make Hard Playing
But the Contest Is an Exciting One
and Enjoyed by All.
From Tuesdays Daily.l

With clouds of dust sweeping from
the northeast and the wind driving
back the balls, Abilene played the To-
peka league team yesterday and lost.
The Topekas are by all odds the best
players ever pitted against the home
nine. Their team work is admirable,
their fielding and base running above
par and they made a most favorable
impression. Their crack pitcher,
Strcklett, faced the best batters he
had seen this season, however and
instead Of striking out a dozen or two
as usual he only got A, while Reist,
Abilene's swift twirler, gave $ of the
capital city players only air to hit
against, The Abilenes had several
dust clouds against them and they
lost their nerve at critical points
which in the opinion of many was all
that lost them the game.
The opening 4 innings were all
goose eggs for the home team, Stroth-
err reached Sd but died there, The
others had hard luck. In the 9Th
they did their work. Strother got in
agood hit that brought in Brophy
as the first score. With the bases all
full Brandt walked and gave one
score amid lusty kicking from Tope-
ka. Five tallies was the record.
Strother scored also in the 6th-and
that was all. In the 9TH and 9th flies
were caught in one, two, three order
and in the sth no one reached LIST.
Augusta got most of the cheering but
he did not make record to warrant
it.
Matteson and Athey ran together
and lost fly in the Sd. Capt.
Strother called it to "Billn meaning
Matteson but Athey is also "Bill"
and they both ran for it.
Topeka famed twice in the first
two innings and got nothing In the
Sd Abilene had bad luck with wild
throws and 4 tallies resulted In the
4th Topeka hunted lime after time
and it counted, the dust was also an
assistance. 1t was the same in the
9Th and then it was one, two, three
and out for the remainder OF the
