THEIR DAY IS OVER.

The day of the newspaper which
steals its telegraph from out of town
papers, from bulletin boards, or re-
writes and amplifies brief dispatches of
doubtful origin is over. The public
is onto this sort Of thing, just as it
knows how to estimate the newspaper
which is always selling more copies
than were ever sold before, and which
breaks all records every few days. The
only records such papers break is the
record for lying. The public don't care
particularly about boasts, and has lit
tie interest in presentations. What
the public wishes is reliable news, and
the Register makes speciality of that
commodity.

CANADIAN FRIENDSHIP
Seems to be as Strong and Well d.
rected as That of Great Britain's
Home Government.

Washington, May 27.-The Canadian
negotiations were resumed at the State
Department to-day. An understanding
has been reached that the details of
the negotiations will not be made pub
lie until definite results are obtained.
In a general way, however, it Is stated
that the spirit prevailing at the confer
ence gives better promise cf an agree
ment than ever before. This is
due largely to the recent express
sions of cordially between Great Brit
ain and the United States. 1t is said
that the Canadian people fully share
in this growing good will and that when
a member of the Canadian parliament
made speech the other day incident
ally casting a reflection on this coun-
try, the two party leaders, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, premier and Liberal leader,
and Sir Charles Topper, Conservative
leader, at once rebuked the member for
this expression, their remarks being
greeted with enthusiastic cheers from
both sides of the chamber. Thus far
the Canadians have not taken official
cognizance of the presence of Senior
DuBosc, the former associate Of Mr..
Pole in the Spanish legation here, but
there is reason to believe that if Mr..
DuBosc and those with him at Mon
treal, do not strictly abide by the rules
of asylum they will be called to ac-
count and made to discontinue their
operations

Yousof "the terrible was placed II

hot shot into the local camp, Dut II
relied off the tri-color Wheeling bat
like hail stones. The Turks fell all
over each other in scrambllng for the
leather bullets in the intield, and re-
sembled SO many whirling dervishes in
their cortortions. They muffed and
fumbled until the bleachers laughed in
derision. Yousouf gradually allowed
his temper to get beyond his control,
and when Koran completed the circuit
CT the bags with the assistance OF
tumble by Hayman and a muff by
Stark, the stuff was off with Yousouf
He made two or three passes with ms
left hand to indicate that his wheels
were in motion, and the buzzing could
be heard on the bleachers. 1t was evil
dent that Yousouf was executing some
aerial gymnastics. and while he was
off his feet, Wilson, Pritchard and Eg~
CERT pounded out the hits which turned
defeat into victory
Eddie Madden gave his first perform
ance of the season. He had very little
preliminary target practice, and under
the circumstances his gunnery was very
creditable.
Harry Pritchard told McCombs and
Eggert about his bullet lodging and
sprinting on the Main street bridge,
and made these players nervous. AS a
result Billy made two muffs and two
dian of the second base was caught
twice between the bags while solilo-
quizing as tc whether there would have
been enough left over for a railroad
ticket after defraying funeral expenses
if certain bullets had struck the bulls
eye.
Eggert came to the plate in the first
inning with red, white and blue bat
that looked like a section of barber
pole, but that stick proved very eff
fective in the contest. Eggert pounded
out a double and two singles, and
Pritchard and Minton each did execu-
ton with it,
splrit with which the teams fought for
the victory more than offset the errors.
Some of the misplays were due to the
rough condition of the outfield. Billy
McCombs has a sore hand, but he will
come about all right within few days.
Eggert is charged with two errors, but
he guards so many acres of territory,
and takes so many chances, that no
fan" thinks of criticlsing him for a
misplay.
Wheeling hit Yousouf safely in each
of the first four innings, and with the
assistance of several very yellow field
ing errors, piled up five runs. In the
seventh the visitors came within one
run of tieing the score. In the eighth
they took the lead, making two runs
On errors by Eggert, Madden and Will
Son, wild pitch and passed ball.
At this point the spectators drew a
long breath, and then settled down to
do some old fashioned roofing" They
were rewarded by witnessing a Turkish
balloon ascension, which enabled them
to score three runs ON three singles,
a double, three fielding errors, and one
battery error. In the ninth the Turks
were retired in order. The score:
