is going TO take an old hickory pole
and piece of clothes line rope for a
line. Yesterday he had a fine joint
pole and a linen line but the fish
which he hooked broke these up i'm no
time and when he came home he had
no hooks, line or pole. The fish he
hooked were all cat fish and had no
scales on their backs so he does not
tell what they weighed.

enough to keep the races from going.

his expenses, but his purses also.

Tor the lola RE6lsrtR aud Rstprl show that
when they get older they W u perhaps
know more. Their assertions that the
game was rotten, fun or errors aud that
neither nine knew how to play ball. Is all
equally rs good and as erroress rs the
game played between Kansas city and Iuls,
and the score book viii show IL. Those
lola reporters are base ball crazy, aud
should come down peg or two. as people
get tired OF such rot N the papers.

J0HrnaE 1.-The hardest blow that has
been dealt the joints and probably
the one that killed Mother was the
orders given the marshal and his
assistants by the mayor and council
to visit every place suspected of doing
Il joint business six times a day: twice
in the forenoon, twice in the afrer-
noon and twice i'm the evening and
use every method possible to get evil
dence against them. City Attorney
Meyers is in perfect accord with the
other authorities and is determined to
prosecute every time an ofense is COM
mitted and can be proven. If this
attitude and determination is perse-
Vered in it will he impossible for the
law-breakers to ever resume business
permanently.
