ment; Col. D. Jack Foster. of Chi
cago. colonel of the 9th regiment;
Col. James NJ. Rice, of Peoria, and
Capt. Bolte, of Chicago, who COM
manded the campaign rough riders.
Col. Foster has some of the strong
est recommendations of any body,
backed up by unique record In the
Spanish war. He took out a regiment
of raw men, led them through all the
perils of camp life and the Porto
Rican campaign and brought them
back home with the loss of only 13
men-a record not duplicated by any
commanding officer in the service.

Local Team Meets Defeat Last Night at
nIuscatine.
The basketball team of the Y. M. C.
A. that went TO Muscatine last night
suffered not altogether unlocked for
defeat. More of the team originally
selected to 60 was able to report yes
terday and several who went had had
no experience outside of the home
gymnasium. The gymnasium where
the game was played was small and
there were no limit lines, rendering
play continuous and very rough. The
score was As to 9, which, the boys
say. reads differently from what it
will after return game is PLAYED.

A NEW YORK SUNDAY LAW.
IT WILL BE ENFORCED BY THE vIGI
LANCE OF TIE BUTCHERS.

New York, August 3l.-The butch
ers of New York are determined that
the new State law prohibiting the
sale or delivers of meats on Sunday
shall be enforced. To this end, an
army OF 2,70O men all opposed to SUM-
day labor and all eager to aid in car
rying out the provisions Of the law.
will patrol the city tomorrow.
1t will be the largest army ever or.
ganized in any city for such purpose
and will be under the direction Of the
Benchmens' Association OF Retail
Butchers, representing 5000 men en-
ployed in butcher shops in this city.
The butchers came to the conclusion
that tn, most effective means they
could adopt to compel the stoppage
OF the sale and delivery Of the meat on
the day they believed belonged to
themselves for rest and recreation
was to create a sort Of vigilance com.
mittee Of their own. The city has
been divided into districts and cap.
tains appointed in each.
Wonders will never cease, The
butchers OF Greater New York are in
favor Of the enforcement OF the Sun
day law. Now let the butchers OF
Scranton fall into line, shut up shop
and quit selling meat on Sunday,
which is Il violation Of the law here as
well as in New York.

That there are perils in newspaper
advertising as well as advantages is
forclbly illustrated by the case Of a
New York farmer who advertised for
a wife. The advertisement appeared
In print Saturday and Sunday, and on
Monday morning bargain day rush
began with the advertisers farmhouse
as the bargain counter. They came
with bag and baggage and filled the.
house and the yard and drove the ad
vcrtiser and his two hired men out
into the kitchen, where they stood at
bay until the farmer mustered up
enough courage to eject all the appi.
cants and then stand guard over the
front door with gun and a bulldog.
The moral of this little story is this:
If you don't want to do business, don't
advertise.
The Jackson Picayune Bureau says:
The farmers of Mississippi should not
forget that the government OF the
United States has doubled the amount
OF seeds furnished each congressman
for distribution, and it will be we'll

that fifteen trees Of different varieties
are also furnished each congressman
for distribution. The distribution of
seed includes garden, flower, cotton,

 The Seh1ey verdict disgusts me. t is disgraceful. shameful don't seo how thc majority arrived at it's yer diet read every line of the testi- mony and there is not q line in it r justify the censure of Admiral Schley- II congress takes the matter up, t should not investigate Schfey, but somebody else.

 II is also stated that the naval clique has enough of the controversy and are anxious to drop it.
 It is not probable that congress will take the matter #up unless the navy department should undertake to pu"- suc the matter further and it is this fear of con"ressional action in the matter that will make the department yery shy.
