A Sad Disillusiun.

One Of the very last things which
the REGISTER would do Is to take
away from the young ladies OF
the city any pleasant hope and
romantic thought. but the de-
mand for the truth compels lite ut
terance whether 1t prove painful OF
pleasant. And so it is that the report
that q live count is living in lola
must be punctured and the:air castles
permitted to effervesce. The gentle.
man in question never gave any rea-
son for the starting of the count
story. He is a modest man, very
pleasant, genial gentleman and a
Y. Nj. & A. member, which, three
qualifications are sufficient to prove
that he is not "A count. The fact that
he has visited relatives in England
furnishes the real basis of the story.
And still, there remain for the girls
the numerous urcrowned kings who
have been born and raised here.

Wednesday if any one had found a
small boy. The two men made their

happened to meet and exchange the
question. On comparing notes they
found each had lost boy and so
pooled trouble and hired the police.

boys were in the same class at school,
that they showed up in the morning
and were assigned pretty stiff lessons
by the teacher and that since recess
neither bad been seen The tele-
phone and telegraph lines were put

BALL GAME A TIE.
Dawson and Shellman Crossed
Bats Again Friday.

One of the closest and most interest
ing games of ball ever played here oc-
Cured on the Dawson diamond Friday
afternoon, when the Dawson team
crossed bats with Shellman. A large
number of Sbellmanites were present
to witness the game and cheer for the
boys from their town.
The Shellman team had for its bat
terry Dunn and Perry: Dawson had
Martin and Kenny. The game began
with Shellman in the field. In the
first inning one run was made by Ken
ny, Clark and Thornton, not another
being scored by the Dawson team dur
ing the game. In the third inning
Shellman scored one run. 1t was a
game between pitchers, and Dunn and
Martin both did excellent work, Dunn
striking out fourteen and Martin thir-
teen batters. Shellman scored again
in the seventh inning and the game
grew in interest.
Two errors made by the Dawson team
let in another run for Shellman in the
ninth inning, thus tieing the score, it
being three and three. Good pitching
by Martin kept the Shellman team
from again tallYing. Umpire Saville
called the game on account OF dark
ness. which made it impossible to play
even anothaR inning.
The two teams will cross bats again
at an early date,
