The WORK OF THE PITCHERS
DonOhue and Kennedy Lead in the
Number of Games Pitched.
King Has Won Seven Out of Fifteen
aud Mercer Thirteen Ont of
Twenty-nine.

Nichols no longer holds the record for
the number of games pitched so far This
SEASON. Donohue, OF st. Louis, and Ken
nedy, OF Brooklyn, have officia.ed in thirty
one contests, and Killen, OF Fittsburg. In
thirty, while the Boston twirler is charged
with but twenty nine. peculiar feature
of the list is the equality of the Boston
pitchers, and, ia a slightly less degree, those
OF thu Baltimore club.
The Senatorial twirling corps hold re-
spectacle places in the long list, King lead
ing with a percentage OF 467, being tied
with Killen; Mercer is tied with Hawley.

DIR. McJames and KID Nichols Were tht
opposing twirlers in the game between
Washington and Boston yesterday at the
Hub, the Statesmen losing because of Their
Inability to hit Niche Is, W no allow cd but six
hits TO be- made off his delivery and struck
out elght men.
McJames also pitched great game, striS-
ing out five men and holding the Bean
eatersdown 10 eight hits, but his opponents
battcd just timely enough TO corral the
game.
Both twirlers We're very effective when
the SACKS We're occupied. Opportunities
Were Offered to score runs with a hit, but
tie box artists would steady themselves
and fool the batsmen, McJames at one
stage OF the game leaving all the bases &C
Cupied by striking out Duffy.
The contest was a beautiful one all the
way, and kept the Boston fans on the
anxious seat until the last man was out,
as there was no telling when the Senate: S
might open up ON Nichols with batting
rally. As Il was, the Bostons got little
scare in the ninth inning, when Washing
ton scored two runs On two hits, base on
balls and an error, but they did not last
long enough to win out.
Tommy Tucker was very much In evidence
on the coaching lines, being well received
by hisold friends a. the Hub, W here Tommy
is said to still be more popular than his
successor or the initial bag for the Bostons
wrigIey was tie only Senator to neroiiate
more than one hit off Nichols, while Sell
bach, O'Brien, A bey and McJames failed
10 get hit. For Boston Hamilton led with
tie bat, touching the doctor up for three
safe drives, "Kid'' Nichols getting two.
That hard-hitting quartet or Bostonians,
Long, Duffy. Stahl and Collins. could not
find McJsEes for a safety.
There is a nlInor I'm circulation at the
Hub that the Washington management will
sell tie South Carolina twirler 10 the Boston
team at the close of tie present series, the
only thing at present standing in the way
OF the purchase, IL is said, being the price,
but as Manager Selee generally gets what
he wants regardless OF price, it would not
be surprising II lie should land Mel ames.
The second gameof the present series be
tween the Statesmen aud Reaneaters Will
probably find Mercer and X lobe,.anz pitted
against each other. IT Washington $ going
to win 4 game from Boston 1T looks as
though todav s contest should be the one, ds

NEWS AND VIEWS

At Freeport, ILL.,, new industry is to
be started. On a quarter section of land
an enterprising Kansas farmer will es-
tablish 900 black cats and 5000 rats. on
which to feed the cats, estimating that
the cats will increase $4,000 IN two
years, their skins being worth 81 each.
The rats will multiply five times as fast
as the cats and will furnish food for the
latter, while the skinned cats will fur
nish food to the rats. Thus has perpet-
ual motion been discovered at last.
A Kentucky court, in late case, says
" While man who marries a widow
with eight infant children assumes a
great RESPONSE bility, yet we think the
honeymoon at least should be over be-
fore he qualities himself as the guardian
of his wife's infant children and seeks
the aid of court to sell their home
for their maintenance and education"
1t is said that the ranchers of the state
of Washington are hoping that severe
winter will rid them of 100000 head of
horses, which eat up their bunch grass
and cannot be sold at any price. Horses
in that neck of the woods are said to 90
begging at 81 piece. Cattle and sheep
find purchasers at some price, but no.
body wants horses.
The magnitude of this country is al
most beyond conception. Snow is sever
al feet deep in Wisconsin, oranges and
strawberries are ripening in Florida, and
Nebraska farmers have corn to burn,
while many of the poor in eastern cities
are starving fer the want of it.

SFATISCALLY STATED,

In the year 1896 about 100000 of our
school population out of 600,009 did not
attend school at all. In other words,
nearly half of our school population did
not enter a school house in 1895 for pur-
poses of study, Nearly all of these
100000 children live in the rural dis
tTiCts.
That the gentler sex is fast becoming
emancipated is shown by the fact that in
1896 there were in the United States 80
women wOodchoppers, 147 bArtenders,
"a hostlers, 20 sailors, locomotive engi-
neers, % plasterers, 50 blacksmiths and
8 boilermakers.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twentv-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that Dr. Gilmers Swamp
Root, the great liver remedy fulfils ev-
cry wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder anu every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inabl-
ity to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following the
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during
the night to urinate. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most distress
ing eases. If you iced medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists; price fifty cents and one dollar per
bottle. For sample bottle and pam
phlet, both sent free by mail, mention
The DAWSON News and send your post
