there is no doubt but what that city will
have team this season. VIII Humboldtdo

upa team that would wollop the lola fel-
lows. We always have done it. Why not

TER writes the following details OF
the last illness of Frank Downing
whose death was briefly reported in
these columns some time ago: "He

his liver. After the first week of his
sickness he went TO the Good Samara

treatment three weeks then was
operated on, the pus being extracted
with surgeons pump, but was too
weak and the liver too badly effected
to recover and died in five days after
the operation leaving a wife and three

GUS parts of A lien county and adjain-
ing counties but also In the vicinity
of lola there are strong indications
o. mineral He has some fine speci-
mems Of tiff and silicate that he found

when lola people VIII no longer have
to go to Missouri to give play to their
mining fever.
