The Dassys lived on the northern
edge of Nebraska. Their farm lay on
the open prairie, but right at the head
of Lone Tree canyon, an abrupt crack
on the ground which ran down to the
Niobrara river. The lone tree which
gave the name I o the canyon was a
high and spectral pine standing a
dozen yards from their barn.
Never was tree so deserted by It's
Kind before. There was not another
I'm sight anywhere. although there
were others down the canyon and
along the river; but as you stood on
the prairie you looked over them, and
over the river and canyon rs well, SO
that I'm whatever way you turned your
eyes from the Daisy ranch you saw
nothing but treeless prairie; though
of an evening the wind sighed through

ously. and did what Il could TO suggest
a forest. The Dnssy boys, Thoma,
Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and George
Washington, often talked about
climbing the lone tree, but they never
did so.

came out of the coop and said: "Well

in the third house comforting with
number of friends, who made no secret
that their mission was political.
Colonel Roosevelt said today, when
asked what he thought of the political
situation after reading the newspaper

great interest, that his lips were sealed
so far as politics was concerned by his
uniform. While he wore the uniform
of the United States army he could not
discuss politics or personal matters for
publication. Colonel Roosevelt visit

WAS A GREAT GAME.
Topeka Won From Atchison by
Score of "a

Topeka won from Atchison yesterday
in an exciting game, the score being Z
to 2.
4. Atchison scored one in the fifth, one
in the eighth and at the beginning of
the ninth the score was even. Strick-
lett in the box for AtchisOn went to
pieces in the ninth and with errors and
safe hits Topeka landed five scores
making the total 7 to 2 and there it
stayed. Atchison got the bases full in
the ninth but could not score after a
double play by Rebesman who gathered
in a pop up fly and covered the initial
bag He failed to make a triple play
unassisted, the first offered here this
year.
EyIer, for Topeka, pitched a wonder
full game and played all round his ter
ritory. He gathered in two hot drives
and with apparent ease.
The umpiring of Mauck did not meet
with favor. He seemed to give Tope-
ka the worst of it. His decision on
third in calling Raymer safe and an
other at first was a costly error on his
part.
The series of games will continue this
afternoon and tomorrow. Ladies' day

STILL THREATENING.

London, Aug. 19.-The correspondent

Spain and her continental patrons
still hope that the United States may
be induced not to take advantage Of the

Should the retention of Manila be in
sisted on, the United States may meet
more trouble even than Japan did in

mira1 Dewey approved of General Au-

explanations fail to explain why so
much secrecy was observed,
