J. Mack Love, chairman of the Dem
ocratic state committee, is enthusiastic
over the fusion ticket named at Fort

Its the best ticket the fusionists

win by majority much greater than
we had four years ago.
There is no doubt about Bryan carry
ing Kansas by larger vote than he
had four years ago and the state ticket
made up as it is of popular and sub
stantial men, will poll the full party
strength of those who combined in
naming this ticket.

is no complaint since the adjournment

tinuous rains, followed by cool nights for
the last three weeks it is now confirmed
in the great melon districts southeast of
Benton Harbor that the entire crop will
be a failure with millions of half ma

the district. 1t is estimated the city of

trade from the various growers. The fail
of the crop will financially ruin sew

BASE BALL GAMES.

The Texarkana base ball teams
crossed bats again Yesterday al
the Gun Club grounds. The city
editor, on arriving on the grounds,
found about six iumped-up mines
scattered over the grounds swiping
the sheep skin with very great
swiftness.
There were all kinds of men, boys
and negroes, some with red uni
forms and some with sweaters, and
a few had removed their top shirts,
SO eager were they to peel the skin
from the ball. The colored people
had gotten possession of the ground
first, but retired before the pale
face army which was as thick as a
thistle forest in Siberia.
Before the game was called be.
tween the Colts and Vets, there
we're groups of men and boys bat
ting balls, and throwing hot liners
and curves to each other. Look
which way you might, you could see
half dozen balls in the air. This
is an argument that base ball
crankS are not all dead, or do they
propose to die, for the field was
prolific with infantile scions. Some
one with voice like a fog horn, at
2;3O o'clock, yelled ''play ball" and
the Colts got the bat and made
some good hits and ran the bases
like they would get in several runs
before the inning was over, but
they spent their energy and died on
bases before they could touch tie
home plate, with one exception.
The Vets got possession of the
willow and hammered the sphere
for some six runs before they were
retired.
Many errors were made during
the game and some good field work
was credited up to some of the
players. When the game was end
ed the count showed that the Vets
had won by a score of IA to II.

Your mothers and grandmothers' never
thought of using anything else for indi-

clean out the system and stop fermenta-
