THE ISLAND OF GUAM
Annual Report of the Governor
Showing Receipts and TX
penditures

Washington.-Th annual report of
Commander Seaton Schroeder, Govern
or of the Island of Guam, which is dat
ed July 10th, and which has just reach
ed the Navy Department, indicates a
rather serious condition in the island
finances, owing to the failure of Con.
gress to appropriate the sum asked for
last year. The receipts last year were,
in round numbers, $66,000 and the eX-
penditures $4,000, leaving a balance
of $4,000, which, however, is a decrease
Of $13, 900 in the cash balance for the
preceding year. This loss is due
largely to the unexpected expenses in
cident to the establishment of the leper
colony, and the decrease of. over $10,-
600 in import duties.
1t has been deemed prudent to stop
all work of public improvement until
further appropriations shall he made.
The value of the exports and imports
during the year have been, respective
ly, $35,549 and $35, 1865. The exports
consisted almost entirely of Mexican
dollars. The census of the island, TAX
en- last autumn, shows the total popu.
lation to be 1915, of whom only 46 are
foreigners, IA being citizens of the
United States. The natives conf inue
to refuse to allow their sick to receive
medical attention, but conditions are
improving, an excess Of births over
deaths being shown for each of the
last two years. There are twenty-four
lepers at Tumon Bay. The Governor
recommends improvements in facili-
ties for education and that the laws for
the government of the island should
be remodeled and coditied.

Clarksburg, W. Va, June "a
According to the reports published
In the Daily Telegram here, the
Van Wormer and Parks OH COM
pany has been Systematically steal
Ing oil In quantities of thousands OF
barrels for the past four months
from the Eureka Pipe Line COM
pany, on Grass Run, this county.
The story of the systematic steal.
Ing scheme, If true, Is a narration
of one of the most gigantic thefts In
the history of Harrison county oil
fields, and involves thousands Of
dollars.
According to the story the Van
Wormer and Parks company has
been receiving pay two times for
each tank of oil that 1t has pumped
from wells on the George Williams
farm. This company, 1t appears,
has a lease for the drilling and
operating of about q dozen wells on
the Williams farm. Mr.. Williams
has q one-sixteenth royalty on the
production, and Judge Nathan Gof,
of this City, has a one-sixteeuth,
both of whom have profted by the
procedure.
Oil Is dumped into tanks on the

THE FIRST GAME

there, and the ball never touched
the ground.
In the next half of the third, the
trouble began, and 1t seemed as If
clouds were forming all around.
After McCarty had struck out,
Taylor made a successful buut, took
second on McWhorter's sacrifice
and home on Helmand's two bag
ger. That same sacrifice was
caught by Outcalt a few inches
from the plate on throw from the
fielder, and that same two base hit
of McWhorter's brought him safely
across the home plate, making the
score three to two, and the silence
in the grand stand was something
simply awful.
There was no comfortable respl-
ration until the fifth, when after
Dean had hit the air three times,
Bero got to first an wild throw of
McWhorter, second on passed
ball, then Adamson responded to
the calls from the grand stand and
bleachers and fence, and handed
oct a nice single, bringing Bero
home and tying the score.
Base ball playing was then In
dulged In In guilt edged from by
both clubs until the eighth, when
there came chance for a revival
among the faithful, and right we'll
did they improve 1t. After Fred
Abrams had gone to first on four
bad ones, ,Saladine hit safely sending
Fred to end. Both players were ad'
vanced base by Bevins' sacrifice.
Then Dean strobe to the home
plate like Hercules Of old. He
gripped the bat second time.
Several people called to him to win
his own game He made no re-
spouse to the calls, but met good
one square on the nose bringing In
both men on bases, and winnig the
game. To say that there was
shouting In the ranks Of the faith.
ful would be but to explain the
noise that must have been heard
up On Wells street.
After that, the Charleston boys
did some foolish kicking, which
showed them to be very hard loos-
ers.
In the ninth, 1t looked bad for a
little bit. Bruny sent a high one
to Fred, but the sun got between
him and the ball and 1t dropped to
the ground. He went to second on
al error; aud 10 ne on Taylors
high fly to right field.
That ended the run getting for
the game, and the devotees of base
bali came struggling up street tell
Ing what fine game 1t was and
what a fine team we have.
The same teams play today.

The much heralded champions
of West Virginia had their first op.
portunity to play ball In this city
yesterday. Thev came without a
single defeat having been admins
tered to them In the State. Fail
ing to find any aggregation within
the confines of the Mountain State
that could lower their colors, they
went to Ohio, seeking something
that could lower their colors, they
went to Ohio, seeking something
that could play the national game
faster than any of the local clubs.
They found 1t, and came back
across the river thirsting for blood.
They stopped at Sistersville. Now,
a man can get almost anything he
hunts for in this town, and when
the ',oys from the capitol city
sought ball players In the greatest
town on earth, they found them,
Outcalts champions were there all
the.time, and while they had their
nettle tested as they had not had 1t
before this season, they delighted
all the local fans by giving an ex-
hibition of ball playing yesterday
that showed they were in the class
which some of their most enthusi-
astic admirers had placed them.
Those Charleston boys are ball
players. They can hit and run and
catch and throw, and kick when
the opportunity presents itself. But
with all these accomplishments,
they went down before Jimmie"
Outcalts boys In manner sufficient
to show the people of Sistersville
that they have an even better team
than the strong one with which
they closed the season last year.
Nearly everv body was there.
The rest will be there today. 1t
was game full of excitement from
the start to the finish.
Even had we lost, 1t would have
been good game, but winning, 1t
was so much the better.
The run getting began promptly
In the first inning, Bero, the run
getter, got clear around to third on
wild throw of Denton's of his
short hit to third. Adamson, the
reliable. went to the plate amid
generous applause and placed
safe one which brought Bero across
the plate, and the gang went half
crazy. Adamson went to second on
Outcalt's safe sacrifice, and third
and home on errors, making the
score two to nixy at the end of the
first inning, and every body was
happy.
In the second half of the same
inning, the boys from the city on
the Kanawha went out In one.two
three order, and the grand stand
gave a great big breath of relief.
In the second, Denton got first
on nice single, went to Second en-
Baird's sacrifice. Then a left.handed
gentleman by the name of Farrell
strobe to the plate ala Hans Wag-
ner, spat on his hands, grasped the
willow, and with one mighty biff
sent the ball over the field fence
for two bases, bringing Denton
home. The crowd looked tired,
but Powell and Bruney tried Fred
Abrams and Clintworth, and the
sides changed, and every body
every where settled down to see
real ball game.
In the third Adamson got his
second hit after one was out, but
Outcalt went out on a sacrifice and
Clintworth put strong one to cen.
ter, which certainly seemed good
for as many bases as he wanted,
but the fleet footed Henmand was
