IN THE NATIONAL. GAME.
A Good Man for President of the
Club.

While a clump of gentlemen
were discussing baseball in front
of the Cobb house yesterday after
noon, Lawyer VIM. Mellette very
reluctantly gave it out that he was
somewhat of an enthusiast himself,
and had watched a game or two at
Fort Smith ten years or more ago,
and had "backed" the home team
at that town a few times when
nothing but disaster had perched
upon their banners. And now
"Uncle Boog" Little has running
mate that can be depended on, and
if the home team need any back
ing The Daily Chieftain has given
them the cue.

THE KATY'S CLAIM.
No Loss by Reason of Its Officers
Inactivity.

AS the appraising boards reach
the various towns along its line
the "Katy" files its objections to
their laying them out, claiming
the Infringement, when such is the
case, of its alternate section rights.
Very clearly, the company has no
intention of losing any right it
may have by non-action. At Col
bert the alternate section takes all
the business houses on one side of
the street and the awnings, etc.,
on the other.

10 Cents a Week.

The Daily Chieftain by carrier is 10
cents a week. To accept 40 cents
each month from those who desire to
pay monthly is paying premium for
monthly instead of weekly payments,
and doing the subscriber who pays
weekly an injustice. Hence each third
month Orents is collected instead Of
40. making sl.sO for the QuGrter-Is

DAY.
Rain no Barrier to
Enthusiasm.
vinita Celebrates as Becomes
a City of Her State.

Notwithstanding the big rain
this morning a large number of
people from the country had
reached town at an early hour,
prepared to celebrate the day with
zeal and for all it is worth. The
4th of July is holiday that can
not be rained out, or kept down by
any human or elemental disturb
ance.
1t would take something more
than big rain and threatening
day to stop fourth of July cele-
bration in Vinita. With all these
difficulties and many more to en-
counter and overcome the celebra-
tion Of the great natal day of our
republic is a success, and will be
put down as one of the city's great
days. Streets and business houses
are adorned with streamers of the
national colors. Gaily caparison-
ed horses, bestrode by military
looking horsemen added to the
general Independence day appear
ance of the city. The calithump-
ians were out in force, and in great
variety and diversity of pictur-
esque and grotesque costumes.
The rain in the early morning
had a tendency to dampen the ar
dor of the women and children,
as the dust was turned into mud.
1t also quenched the fire under the
beefin the trenches at the park,
where the invincible Dock Bridg-
man was in command.

WON THE FIRST.

test on the home Grounds.

Great Excitement Visitors are Al
lowed to Score But In One Inning
Eleven runs Piled up by Local Boys

the Tune Changed and w. 4 j.
Scores Four TO Our Nothing.
w V. q. won the first of the two
games by the better playing. Never
did the team show up TO better adj
vantage than it did in this contest
and the spectators were aroused to
very great excitement at various
stages of the game.
Dent was on the rubber for the
home team and he played an unusual
ly fine game. The support given was
out of sight and each man played his
best w. Y. u. started the run
getting in first and scored once In
the third she made eleven runs and
clinched the victory In the eighth
four more were piled up and this
finished the run getting for us.
W. and j. made five runs in the
eighth inning beginning on costly
error at second. Carson fell down in
the third and struck three men with
the ball. Otherwise he did very we'll
and at times was a puzzle to the
local lads.
The fence was very good thing
and showed that it is what has been
needed for long time. There was a
very large crowd present and they
rooted to the limit. The cadets who
had been disappointed in their trip
to Grafton were there in full force.

This was the second game of the
series of three to be played between
the two teams. w. and j. won the
first at Washington by score Of nine
to two.
The afternoon game proved to be
one of the prettiest exhibitions Of
gilt edged ball playing ever played
on the local grounds.
The teams were the same as in the
morning game except Dent was re-
lieved by Printz and Nesbit took Car
sons place. Nesbitt struck out IA
men and allowed ten hits while Printz
held w. and j. down to four hits and
struck out ten. Back of Printz our
men played an errorless game.
In the first inning many people
thought McWhorter had scored but
the w. and J. Umpire a Mr.. Jones
couldn't see it that way. When in
the third this same Mr.. Jones called
a w. and j. player safe who was clear
ly out, the locals were wrathy. 1t is
to be regretted that these two bad
decisions were made for otherwise it
was one of the clearest games of ball
ever played here. W. and j. scored
two in the third, one in the fifth aud
another in the sixth.

our towns. If one railroad has done
SO much in dozen years, (quad-
rupled population, doubled our
wealth, multiplied many fold the
wages and employment of our citi-
zens, increased four fold the attend
ance at the University, built up
more, better and handsomer houses,
and finer business buildings, multi
piled factories and created new en-
ployments) what will not another
one do? 1t will be local and made
specially to promote local interests.
1t will largely employ home CAPT
tai, and exclusively home labor

IN cash, from $4,000 to 100000,
and you will get it all into immedi-
ate circulation. Every man in the
District will be Immediately bene
aited.
Work will be plenty, wages good,
business will at once revive.
1t you have any thing to sell you
will have good market at once, for
cash buyers will abound. Debts
will be paid, for cash will circulate.
Houses will be built to accommo-
date the increase in population. All
new material and the labor that fits
1t for building will be in great de-
anand
Stonemasons and quarrymen will
get contracts and sell stone at profit
able prices. Carpenters and build
ers, painters, paper hangers and
plasterers, plumbers and roofers will
all have as much work as they can
do, while the immediate workers on
the railroad will grade, excavate and
fill, build culverts, walls and
bridges, put up trestles, get out ties
and ballast, make surveys and SUI
perintend construction, run trains,
and keep accounts and books, and in
thousand ways get good work and
find good pay.
Saw mills will be put into the
forests, miners in the coal and help
ers in the coke business, quarryman
in the glass sand and fire clay and
limestone quarries All this bust
ness will concentrate, and be man
aged, handled and paid from the
Morgantown end. You will get your
share of it.
All the employees paid by the
railroad and by contractors in build
ing operations, in mining, saving,
and the many other occupations
created by the railroad, must be fed,
clothed, housed, entertained and
made contented here.
Vegetable and market gardeners,
grocers, laundrymen, merchants,

will find cash customers and many
of them.
The butcher will wax fat and grow
rich selling the choicest cuts and

MEMORIAL DAY
And How it Was Spent in This
Place.

nicing Ball flames and Dances in
Evidence.
Memorial day was very appropriate
ly observed in some quarters while In
Others its meaning was perverted.
Here and there were held gatherings
10 perpetuate the memories of the
men who fell in the sixties fighting
for the preservation Of the union.
The principle they fought for was
freedom and the declaration that one
race should not Cypress and dominate
another and an inferior one.
To celebrate this. Memorial day
was established and for years was APP
propriately observed. Unfortunately
it is now widely regarded as day for
revelry aud generally for light amuse-
ments
Yesterday the weather was all that
could be asked In the morning the
cadet corps formed and under Colonel
Fast headed by a brass band organ
lied by Jesse Turner marched To the
depot to go to Grafton where they had
promised TO take part in the ceremon-
les annually held at the national GEM
etry in that place. After walt OF
an hour or more for the special train
that had been advertised 1T was learn
ed that through some oversight no
train had been provided SO the "trip
was abandoned and the corps dismiss
ed. A goodly number Of the mem
bers preferred to stay at home anyway
so little disappointment was expert
enced on that score Quite a large crowd
assembled at the station TO accompany
the boys and nearly four hundred dol
lars worth of tickeJs were sold but the
money was all returned to ticket hold
ers when 1t was found there would be
no train.
The banks were closed all day this
being legal holiday and at noon
practically all the other business
houses closed and their employees went
to seek pleasure and entertainment as
their inclinations desired. Some Of
them went picnicing, scores Of them
going to Cheat while great number
attended the ball game at the Univer-
sity athletic grounds to root for the
home team. This was labor lost as
the visitors beat our boys four to
nothing.
The ladies, and mems glee clubs and
number Of members OF the Choral
Union spent the day picnicing on
Cheat and are reported to have spent
very pleasant day.
A number of towns folk and visit
ors went to Mt. Chateau in the even
ing where a big dance was given last
night.
The festivities OF the day were con-
cluded with grand ball at the Wal
lace House given by one OF the college
fraternities to which number Of WIS.,
itors were invited and which was
very brilliant affair
