1t was great game.
1t was greater because 1t was uu
expected.
There was all kinds of money on
the street for Zanesville.

team that has ever been here. one
that has made even the big leagu'

cause we outplayed them.
"Tobias" didn't win the game for
as. He didn't even help. He
rather bestowed his affection on
the other fellows.
In the face of yesterdays game,
the patrons of the national sport In
this city will not be satisfied with
any slow ball playing on the part
of the home team.
They can play the game, and II
the Review is not mistaken will
continue to do so from now until
the end of the season.
Perhaps they felt the little roast

Any way, 1t would take good
ball team to win game from rs
with the boys playing as they did
yesterday.
There were some sensational fea
lures. Abrams made catch of
high one from Andrews bat In the
fifth that would have done credit to
Hans Wagner, and Taylor did the
same trick In the seventh of SINH
lar one from Lucas. In fact oul
boys ate base hits with vengeance
all through the game.
Twice the bases were full for the
visitors, but Patrick looked mad
sent grape vine twisters over the
plate, which, when they were met
at all, found a resting place In the
willing hands of the boys behind
him. It was too bad that with

of three lonely COWS with calves and
two hens and rooster. As take,
the Wetzel county fair takes the

The explosion was caused by gas
igntling from the forge fire which
was standing at a considerable dis

had rendered the atmosphere
heavy and sluggish and the gas

Just as he entered the derrick a

In a mass of fame. The clothing

and terror they lost all presence OF
mind, and instead of falling down
On the ground and rolling over In
attempt to smother the blaze, they
ran distance of 500 feet before
they were overhauled by their fel-
low workmen who tore the rem
nants of the burning clothing from
their forms. They were literally
cooked from the waist up. They
were also burned internally.
Their agonizing cries were heard
plainly at the Ben's Run station
nearly mile away.
They were taken into the house
of Isaac Soles, and physicians sum-
moned from Matamoras who did
everything to allay the excruciating
suferings of the unfortunates.
On Wednesday morning they
were taken by th:ir relatives, on
the Steamer Barnsdall to Marietta

Ject is throwing much, ir any, rresn
light upon it.
In the first place, there is a diversity
Of opinion regarding the term poor"
One man, who derives an Income of
$3.50 a year from private property,
fancies he comes under the category,
while another does not consider any
one poor who has an income of $500 a
year, says a writer In Leslie's Weekly.
1t is manlfestly impossible to fix any
| limit in a matter like this. Very much
depends upon the locality and the con-
ditions and surroundings of the indi-
vidual An income that would be
amply sufficient to insure family
comfortable home, excellent social ad-
vantages and good living in coun-
try village would mean many priva-
tions and sore dscomforts in any large
city.
On the whole, however, we are In
clined to believe that Max O'Rell's
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have SEEN
II do not care" he says, 'how small
the income of man is, he should never
spend the whole Of it, especially if he
has wife and children. He should
at least save enough to pay every year
the premium on good life policy. No
man is worthy Of the name who does
not do this, at least, at the price of
whatever privatlons he has to submit
to. Some pleasure may be. derived
from high living, but certainly no hap
piness."

suddenly all This is changed. Some
morning the boy appears abnormally
clean. He develops a mania for scent

nails. He becomes critical about col
lars and neckties. His family say,

INCENTIVE TO EFFORT.
The Lesson LIncOln's Life Teaches Go
the Idle Born.

1t is human nature to take it easy
when we can, and with most people q
big bank account will paralyze effort
and destroy ambition. Who can tell
what would have been the effect on
our national history had Abraham Lin
coin been born in luxury, surrounded
with great libraries, free to the multi.
form advantages of schools, colleges
and universities, the manifold oppor-
tunities for culture that wealth be-
slows? Who shall say whether the alb
sence of all incentive to effort might
not have smothered such a genius?
What wealthy, city bred youth of to-
day, glutted with opportunities for ac-
quiring knowledge, can feel that hun
ger for books, that thirst for knowledge
that spurred Lincoln to scour the will
derness for many miles TO borrow the
coveted Life of Washington" which
he had heard that some one In the
neighborhoOd owned?
What young lawyer of our day goes
to law school or library with such a
keen appetite, with such yearning for
legal knowledge, as this youth had
when he actually walked fOrty-four
miles to borrow Blackstone's "Commen-
tariesT"
Where is the student in college or
university today who experiences that
satisfaction, that sense of conquest,
which thrilled Lincoln while lying on
the floor Of his log cabin working out
arithmetical problems ON a wooden
shovel by the light Of a wood fire OF

might they exclaim. but their aston

utterances that thrilled the nations
heart had fallen from the lips of one
who in his youth had access to but
four books-the Bible, Pilgrims Prog

CITY GIVES $S29 TO road.
Equal Sum Has Been Raised
by a Popular Subscription
for Road to Boat Landing.
Other Work of City Council

The city hall was filed with bunch
of spectators Monday evening who ex-
pected TO see something funny at the
council meeting. The crowd waited
throughout long session and left just
as the lawmakers began to warm up on
that ever-bothersome problem, the
liquor question. However, there was
no stormy scene, and adjournment was
taken with the situation remaining in
status quo.
1t was all over a motion on the part
of Councilman Gessling that the coun-
Gil vote to sustain the decision of the
recorders in revoking the liquor license
of S. F. Fuuts. CounciImen Blowers
and p S. Davidson were desirous that
the city's laws should te enforced, but
could not see the necessity of the mo-
ton. Mayes wanted to know where
any harm could come in. Prather was
anxious to avoid any lawsuit against
the city, while II. F. Davidson sawed
wood.
The petition of Butler & Co., with
voluntary subscriptions from citizens
of Hood River for a road to the boat
landing, was given II hearing, and
upon motion Of Councilman Blowers,
the city agreed to appropriate $529 Ia
sum equal to the total subscriptions),
or such portion Of this amount as may
lie necessary to complete the work.
Before vote was taken, Councilman
Gessling wanted To know If all trans
portation companies would have equal
privileges at the landing. A general
discussion followed, in which Attorney
J. l.. Henderson informed the council
that dock privileges cannot be made
exclusive. Provision is made 10y law fix
ing charges for docking. Prather fa-
vored the road but thought the city
was giving too large u sum for one

carried.

Bankers Praise Hood River Apples.

Leslie Butler of Butler 4 Co., the
Hood River bankers, returned last week
from San Francisco, where he attend
ed the national convention of the
American Bankers association. While
there Mr.. Butler lost no opportunity to
tell about the good thipgs Of Hood
River. lie went supplied with sam
pies of fancy apples, which wherever
shown brought forth the mCst enthusi.
aslic praises,
"Send me four or five boxes Of those
apples" " said one man. II don't care
what they cost, as must have some
good apples"
The evening of the reception at the
Palace hotel, Mr.. Butler presented Mrs.
Whitson, wife of the vice president OF
the New York City National bank,
with handsome Gloria Mundi, "a Spitz-
enhurg and Yellow Newtown. Mrs.
NhiIsnn showed them to everyOne,and
was glad to tell that they came from

centerpiece at my first dinner after
getting home, " she proudly remarked
to her friends.
"The people of the United States ex-
pressed "a deep interest Ia the Pacific
Northwest, aud particularly the states
of Oregon and Washington" said Mr..
Butler when asked abnut his trip by a
Glarier man. If indications mean

bright future fur Or gnn. There were

Of the bankers on the chances Of hard
times, Mr.. Butter replied;

POULTRY POINTERS.

Early hatched pullets make the best
winter layers.
One of the most beneficial foods for
poultry is lnseed meal.
The laying hens like a variety not
only in the soft food, but in the grain.
The guinea fowl is a great forager
and destroys many insects that hens
will not touch.
The hens will lay better and be better
contented II supplied with a box Of
fine dry earth for dust bath.
The Leghorns are popular with those
who do not desire to raise chicks, they
being nonsitters and good layers.
Poultry farming doesn't take great
deal of land, but with good manage
ment the harvest comes every day.
In arranging the perches in the poul-
try house have them far enough away
from the doors and windows to avoi'
drafts.
Soaked lime placed in the drinking
water will often cure hens Of laying
sheu-less eggs unless it is a disease OF
the egg passage, as is sometimes the
case.

The present furry in the stock mai

just so long as the people persist in be-
ing humbugged into taking shares in
this or that wild cat scheme. When
the people learn to look to the Ameri'
can Bankers association for recon-
mendations on all projected undertake
ings, things will be different.
"Times were never better. From all
parts of the nation come reports Of good
crops and plenty of money. There is
only one thing that may lead to serious
danger, and that is the agitation the
walking delegates persist in stirring up
among the working classes. This
is the one element of danger, but
someday the American people will rise
up and suppress the dangerous agita-
tors, and we hope that day is not far
distant.n

One cf the wonderful things is that
woman of fair intelligence will paint
her cheeks like clowns and appear
on the streets. Why does she do It!
Does she imagine that people think the
paint is bloom of youth? Does she not
know that people laugh at her? There
are two things that people are quick
to notice-when man wears a wig

To Rnild New Freight Depot

Railroad people give out the infor-
nation that the o. r. & N. is soon to
build new freight depot at Hood Riv-
er The present depot is to be remod-
eled and used exclusively for passen-
gers and the storage of baggage and ex-
press matter. The site for the new
freight depot will be near where the
section house now stands, or probably
at the foot of Irving street.
This improvement will be greatly
appreciated, as the present quarters of
the railroad company are entirely too
cramped, making it particularly un-
handy for the loading and unloading
of freight cars. With a new bridge
projected and freight warehouse to
erect, Hood Rivers building activity
bids fair to continue for some time yet.

CuriOsities in Hens Eggs.

While stories of 5-pound potatoes
and pumpkin-sized apples are in vogue
Mrs. M. F. Scobee of the East Side
comes forth with some hens eggs,
which are noted not for large size, but
on the contrary for their smalness.
Mrs. Scobee left dozen of them at the
Glacier office, none of which are larger
than pigeons egg, while some look
very much like peanuts, resembling
the goober in size, shape an color. They
were layed by a common hen, but un-
like other hens which sometimes lay
very small eggs, she was never known
to produce anything even of ordinary
size Mr. Scobee didn't believe in furn-
ishing feed for eccentric hens Of this
sort and sent the fowl to the chopping
block. The curious eggs may be seen
at the Glacier office.

be done at all expense not to exceed 50
month, and moved that the petition
be granted, which the council agreed
to.
In the matter of the petition of John
II. Gerdes for the opening of River

that legal advice was to the effect that
the city could not be forced to oren the
street. Mr.. Gerdes was granted the
privilege of making statement to the
council and pleaded the justice of his
cause.
Councilman Prather, chairman of
the health committee, reported that
quarantine had been raised ON all but
two of the smallpox cases, and that the
general health of the city was good.
Attention was called to the existence
of defective sewers and the custom of
promiscuous dumping of garbage mat
ter within the city. On motion of P.S
Davidson, the street committee was re-
quested to secure a place for dumping
garbage.
The matter of securing right of way
prevented the sewer committee making
