Summed up. although several de-

certain issues raised, yet in the
most important decision. that of
Downes against Bidwell, JUS
tice Brown announced the sweeping
decision OF the court upholding the
general attitude and policy of the gov

effect of this decision is to affirm the
constitutionality of the Foraker act
and give congress the power to deal
with the newly acquired territory in
such manner as the legislative branch
may consider suitable for the new
territory.
The decision also has the effect of
that the rew insular pos
sessions do not by virtue of the
treaty CT cession acquire all the privi-
Ieges and rights of the constitution.

erstown rooters We're paralysed
with surprise, dumb with dis
may, and were filled with a
yearning for home and mother.
At that point only Ii red suited
boys had come to bat, their score
card was beautiful row of goose
eggs, and they had only found
Posey for one little single. Lang
don lost his voice, Whidden could
only family murmur Well! Well!
while Chet reconsidered his de-
termination to throw a few in
nings, inasmuch as Courtney
had twice rung the bell at Tam
ber's corner and had found him
for 8 safe hits. Posey had also
with unparalleled audacity, stole
I'd and Sd on Tamber which so
dumfounded him that when the
next man tried 1T he mistook
Eddie for I'd baseman and fired
the ball to center. Posey ought
to be watched. Every time he
got to first he stole I'd and Sd,
and man that will do that
oughtn't to be at large.
In the 5th inning Courtney ap-
parently fastened her hold in the
game by adding 2 more to her
talley sheet, and they might have
retained it had not Posy, in
G. half lost his head and temper.
But when the boys made 6

concluded to quit and give way
to Clemo, who didn't fare much
better, G. making 8 runs in the
next 3 innings. Courtney boys
are hard hitters, they put up a
good game at the bat, and also in

one rattling good catch of Neher's
hit which every one thought was
safe.

Riverside Happenings.

Mrs. Sanderson, of Gallatin.
made a trip to Valley City lately
to be treated for lung or chest
trouble.
Mrs. Palmer gave on the Goth
of last month a gospel temper
ance sermon at the Kimball
schoolhouse. The discourse
was an intellectual treat as well
as a spiritual feast. The ladies
are to be congratulated for secur-
ing such an able champion. We
hope the truths she so beauti-
fully and forcibly presents may
find a lodging place in the hearts
of men and women wherever she
goes and bear fruit in their
lives.
The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
McLelland of Riverside died on
the 9th. His little life was
measured by months only. Lung
trouble following measles seems
to have been the cause of his
death, Decked with beautiful
blossoms, a type of his inp6cent
life and short stay onl esfth, his
body, now freed from pain, was
taken to Hope for interment.
Rev. Ruring preached the funer-
al sermon.
A mothers heart is wrung with
grief
For one who's gone away;
But then she would not call him
back
To suffer where he lay
A guiltless life that God had Civ
is passed from earth to joy of
heaven.
Crushed heart look up twas love
on high
That called your baby home,
The same who gave your darling
life
Has told him now to come
And live with him in heaven on
high,
Where life and love can never
die.
So while he'll never come to you
As long as life shall last;
Yet live the gospel every day
Till days on earth are past,
And, though the road be often
dim,
You'll some day find your way to
him. B.
