LAS VEGAS WINS.
Score In the Baseball Match Witt
Ration is TO rs Ia Favor Of the
Locals.

The Las Vegas shop boys won the
baseball match with Ration for a twen-
ty-fve dollar purse by the score Of Is
TO 16. The dimensions Of the totals
show that the playing wasn't up to
the professional standard. But both
sides worked hard, and the match was
close enough to be exciting, The Rat
on boys had evidently played together
much more than had their opponents
and for the most part. when runs
weren't needed put up a better article
of ball. The Gate City pitcher, Nc
Andrews. was a star for four innings
but failed to last. Graham was con.
slstent throughout. There We're many
errors on both sides, but a number 81
fine Individual plays. In the ninth
when Ration had two men on bases and
two out, Suffer made a fine running
catch. which retired the side and pre-.
vented the letting In Of two runs 70 tie
the score. Charlie Rhodes redeemed
himself FOR several bingles and hung
les by tapping out a home run IN the
seventh.
There was a big and good natnred
crowd out to cheer their favorltes. FL
McWeuie started In TO umpire, but at
the first kick on a decision he made
up his mind there was nothing in II for
him and quit.
Berthold was substituted and though
there we're some fireworks In the
fourth and at intervals throughout the
game. he nmpircd II through. Though
d shopman he gave the visitors q
square deal. II n or two close de-
eisIons were in favor Of the locals. the
visitors got the benefit OF the doubt
quite as often.

LORD SALISBURY.

The death OF Lord Salisbury de-
priyes England Of her greatest states
man, and the world Of one Of her
greatest men. Upon the death Of
Lord B~eaconsield, he became leader
OF the conservative party. Largely to
his tact. fghting ability and consnm
mate leadership was due the victory
over Gladstone and the Liberals In the
memorable home rule campaign.
The Conservatives have been In pow
er eyer since.
Lord Salisbury was born noble. On
attaining his majority. he succeeded
TO the title Of Marquis. Queen vic
loria made him q lord. or all her
premiers Salisbury was the fayorite
OF the late queen. Salisbury lacked
nothing In loyalty 70 King Edward,
but when the queen died, he believed
his work was done, 70 resigned the
premiership In favor Of his nephew,
ArllHr baIIuuT.
Lord Salisbury wasn't . command,
ing orator like Gladstone, but he was
shrcwd In debate and hal no super
Tors as an organizer.
lie wal chiefly distinguished IN
connection with the administration Of
the foreign Office. In that part Of
governmental work no seemed TO take
more interest than In others, Just %
| Mr.. Gladstone found economic and
other domestic questions the at
tractiye. II was In keeping with this
that as q minister Of foreign affairs
Lord Salisbury achieved q sue
cess than Mr.. Gladstone IN the same
field. II WAS under his premiership
that Great Britain achieved les great
est successes In the field Of foreign
politics subsequent 70 the death q
Beaconsield. and chiefly upon hi
Victories In that connection his fam,
as a statesman will rest.
Every Englishman must derive sat
isfaction from the fact that il wa
true Of Lord Salisbury as Il was ais
Of Gladstone that his private life wa
without q stain. 1t Is one Of tn
evidences Of the worlds progress tina
the leading statesmen Of recent year
in nearly every country have bee
men Of exemplary private life. and Z
this class Lord Salisbury distinct,
belonged. A
People may question II no ranke
In ability as high as either Beacons
field or Gladstone. but no n will d.
ny that he was one Of the creates
three British statesmen Of the las
half Of the nineteenth century.

Absolutely Unimpeachable.

w. A. Richards, charged with com
plicity in the Sullivan holdup in Ham,
ilton, who recently secured change of
venue from the Marion to the Warren
county district court, declares that he
is entirely glliltless of the charge and
states that he has an alibi which he
says is absolutely unimpeachable. Con
corning the case, which has attracted
considerable attention in this city, the
Des Moines Register and Leader pub
fishes the following:
81 am not ready to make public the
details of that alibi at this time" says
Mr.. Richards. 1T should properly
come before the courts in my trial al
my defense, 1t is not the only defense
which shall make, either have said
nothing since l returned, about the
matter, on the advice of my attorneys
but the unfair publications which have
constantly appeared in some of the
newspapers seem to require partial
statement from me"
