base ball clubs crossed bats at the Mool-

test which was played on the Sth, result
ed in just as easy victory for the Mool-

Batteries: Burch and Porbis, Roberts
and Mitchell brothers. 1t is said in no
spirit Of resentment, but we notice a
statement by the Brandenburg cores
pondent that leaves the impression that
Meade county wiped the earth with our
boys, which is misleading. The result
in the first contest was from the fact of
two very costly errors made by two OF
our best players, and in justice to the
Meade county boys it is probable that
their defeat in the 2nd contest was due
to over confidence, for they are handles
SPECIAL NOTES OF THE GAMES.
Jim Mitchell is dandy and always In
the game.
Ed Hughes did fine work both in the
the field and with the stick.
Burners two phenomenal catches Iii
tied enthusiastic applause from all.
Durbin's two three-base hits and
Burens home run came at the right
time.
Vessels is little two small, but did
good work and is getting larger all the
time.
1t was an all around good game and
was much enjoyed by the large crowd
that assembled to witness it.
But 10 Livers Did you ever see as
ugly face as he makes when he pitches
that ball? It's no wonder they can't hit
them.
Fen Mitchell was a little off during
the first game, and in the opinion OF the
writer needed a good sound spanking,
but oh, why did he not redeem himself
nobly in the second contest?
The Meade county boys are jolly set
Of fellows and all crack ball players.
The only objections we could find with
them was that they came from every
where and were not even acquainted with
each other,

Good Farming.

One Of the most important things
about good farming that most Of us have
TO learn is to avoid waste. We pay taxes
on land that we do not farm; We only
half cultivate our fields, and so waste
both land and labor; We leave a larre
percentage OF the crop in the field; we
waste time and capital raising inferior
animalsi We waste money in buying
what We should raise ourselves; we
waste energy in trying TO do more than
any one man can do right; we waste
opportunities to improve our con-
dition by staying away from institutions
and neglectiDg TO read papers we waste
lin thousand and one ways, aud then
We are ready to say that farming don't
pay" And II Is no wonder-LouisviIle

DOUBLE DROWNING.
Ono an Indiana Man who Was Not Use to
the Ocean.

the Ocean.
ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 10.-Two ven
turesome bathers were drowned in the
surf here yesterday. They were Thomas
O. Laswell, aged 81 years, of Princeton,
Ind, and an unknown man supposed to
be an excursionist from Philadelphia.
Young Laswell came here yesterday
morning with his friend, J. M. PARROT,
also from Princeton, Ind, on his first
visit to the seashore. The young men
went into the surf shortly before noon,
and Laswell, who seemed to be una
ware Of the dangerous undertow, was
soon beyond his depth and calling for
help.
The life guards made brave effort to
save him, but the surf was so heavy
that they were unable TO reach the
drowning man. Laswell struggled in
the water for about 10 minutes in full
view of about 10, 900 people gathered on
the pier, boardwalk and beach. PARROT
nearly lost his life in attempting to
save that of his friend, and was taken
from the water in an exhausted oondi-
ton. One of the life guards named
Reed, was also overcome in the water
and was rescued in an unconscious con-
dition.
Late in the afternoon the body of
Laswen came ashore. 1t was turned
over to a local undertaken, who pre-
pared it for shipment to Indiana.
When Laswell checked his valuables
at the bath house where he obtained his
bathing suit, he laughingly remarked
to the clerk:
II will leave my address so that in
case am drowned you can send my
valuables home"
The jest was tragedy in less than an
hour.
The second drowning occurred at
about o'clock in the afternoon and the
body Of the drowned man has not yet
come ashore.
The surf yesterday was the heaviest
of the season owing to a gale which
prevailed and between % and 30 per-
sons were rescued, many Of them
women.

field has been discovered, but this one

s. E. Spence, a well known citizen of
Houston, Tex, arrived here yesterday
ON the steamer Fulton, plying between
New Orleans and Nicaraguan ports,
and confirmed the stories about the dis

been all over the gold fields district
and that gold is there in large quanti-

and will return as soon as he can make
arrangements to work them. He says
the whole gold section down there is
very rich, and the climate splendid.

DEATH IN IMPORTED HIDES.
Anthrax Bacteria Introduced Into This
Country From China.

Country From China.
DUBOIS, Pa, Aug. 13.-Within the
last few days four deaths have occurred
among the Falls Greek tannery en-
ployes, two miles from this city, and
several others are reported very ill.
Some time ago the tannery company
received the first invoice of 100000
hides imported from China. The hides
were started through the process Of
tanning and the liquors drained into
the creek.
Since then over a score of cattle have
died. 1t was discovered that the cattle
drank water from the creek. Some Of
the tannery employees were subsequent
ly taken sick and four have died so far.
Investigation showed the hides were
infected with anthrax bacteria. Only
one man who has been afflicted has re-
covered. The disease proves fatal in
from five to eight days.
Considerable alarm exists at Falls
Creek over the possible spread of the
disease. The matter has been kept as
secret as possible, but it is understood
that it has been referred to the state
board of health and that an investiga-
ton will be instituted.
