KENTON, June 3:-The weather con-
tlnues to be warm during the day but
it has not gotten down to business at
night yet. Many of our crops will re-
main practically at stand still till we
have warm nights. The warm sun
brings the berries on quite rapidly
but the absence of the city buyer takes
all the snap out of it for Kenton this
year.
Children's Day was observed both
here and at Blackistons last Sunday.
1t was an ideal day, and the people
very wisely took advantage of the fine
weather The church at Blackistons
was crowded and many could not get
In at all A well chosen program was
creditably rendered. The church was
beautifully trimmed for the occasion
and every one joined in pronouncing
it one of the best Children's services
Blackiston ever held. The collection
amounted to $142O.
Kenton's NJ. E. Sunday School held
its Children's Day services in the
evening, and was in every way splen-

its utmost capacity and the entire SER

spiritually helpful. The collection at
this point was $16.53.
Our public school closed on last Fri
day and the teachers are side-tracked

would do we'll to retain both our
teachers for next year, for we are
suited and ought to be satisfied.

While walking along the road be-
tween this town and Smyrna the other
night, Mrs. NJ. E. Smith, of this town,
fell in the stream alongside the road
and narrowly missed a severe accident.
Mrs. Smith and her husband were re-
turning from visiting friends in
Smyrna. Her husband Immediately
went to her rescue but had some diff
ficulty in reaching her on account of
the darkness. This piece of road has
been much complained of on account
of its dangerous condition and will no
doubt stay in ITS present state until
something serious happens and suit
for damages is entered against the
county. Then, as is usually the case,
it cannot be fixed quick enough. The
road is only mile and half long and
connects this town with Smyrna.
Base Ball Game.-An interesting and
well-played game of base ball took
place yesterday afternoon here, be-
tween the Chicago Stars, a team mostly
composed of women, and the home
team. The novelty of seeing women
playing base ball drew a large crowd
OF people, some coming from Sudlers-
vile and other places in that section,
which swelled the attendance to about
325. Miss Maude Nelson, the female
pitcher started the game but retired at
the end of the second inning, after six
runs had been made off of her delivery
Martin, a man then went into the box
and pitched a beautiful game, only al
lowing one hit and striking out ten
men. Sevil, the crack pitcher of the
home team also pitched a nice game,
and managed to keep the hits well
scattered. He was given excellent
support. The final score was 6 to 2 in
favor Of the home team. It is rumored
that Martin and Russell, the male bat
terry Of the Chicago Stars, have signed
to play with Dover for this season, and
that Sevil has signed with Middletown.

AN APPALLING ACCIDENT
WHICH PROVED FATAL
". ". Beck Recently From Santa
Barbara, CAL, Killed by Horse
Falling Back Upon Him.

The most lamentable of the 4th OF
July accidents occurred in the morning
close to Yakima avenue on First street.
w. w. Beck, a photographer by trade
and brother of f. w. Beck, the we'll
known photographer of this place, while
riding up First street astride of horse
OF nervous temperament was suddenly
crushed by the animals quickly raring
up and falling back upon his PROSTATE
body. 1t seems that the horse did not
like the stiff bit that had been placed in
his mouth, and when jerked up rather
sharply he rared upon his hind feet and
fell backward. The wound caused pelvic
peritonitis to set in, and on Sunday
morning at 80 he passed away. He
was attended by DR.. T. }. Patterson and
DR.. Frank. Mr.. Beck was man of
good reputation, and while he had only
been here short time had a great
many friends, who will be grieved to
learn of his untimely death.
He was born at Ashland, Napplo
county, Iowa, October 5, 1865. Went to
School at Ottumwa college, Iowa, and in
1885 moved to California, where he
spent most OF his time. He was fine
photographer, and left complete outfit
in Santa Barbara. He came here to
visit his brother, and they had planned
to take trip to the mountains for the
purpose of doing some outdoor work
Realizing on Saturday that he could not
live, he made his will, dividing his
property, which was considerable, be-
tween his two brothers, G. S. Beck of
Eureka, Cal. and F. w. Beck of this
place.
He was Master Mason in good stand
ing, and was buried by Yakima lodge
No. "a. Funeral services were held al
the Methodist church Monday morning
by Rev. Mr.. Woods.

ROrses Coming.

Secretary Gum of the State Fair is in
receipt of word from John Hogan of
Davenport to the effect that he will be
here soon-perhaps Commonwealth a
string of five or six horses, which he will
put into training for the fall races. Mr..
Hogan is noted for the fine strain of
horses he breeds, and some of his fancy
stock will be shown here during fair
week.
NJ. c. Gray. formerly large draft
horse breeder of Nebraska but now of
Pullman, will exhibit some of his choice
Percheron and Shire blood at the fair.
MIR. Gray is interested in introducing
these two breeds to the horsemen of the
northwest, believing that there are none
better, and with that in view will make
a splendid exhibit.
