from Brewery town held a batting carni-

handed thirteen hits of various sizes n
descriptions to him during the game and,
combined with four bases on balls and a

runs in return. ~Swormsted, for Milwau-

The field was very wet, rendering fast.

made the star play of the day, catching
a ball after a run Of a half mile, more or

Hughie Duffy's boys started out in the
first inning and took a score TO get into
the habit OF doing It. o'Neill got a pass
and McVickers sacrificed him to second.
Then Cockman let a single ripple OF OF
his bat and o'Neill. with his shaggy face
cleaning, came in in a canter. Thornton

smashed the ball and managed to get to
first in a pinch. Then Gatins, in all OF his
angular beauty, got up with the crutch and
Duffy started to steal second and Cockmar
was coming home, but Genins got It back
to Thomas before he expected II and theiI

a CASE OF RECIPROCITY.

LITTLE RAILROAD STORY that
Il is going the rounds OF the geast
ern papers is entitled to general cir
culation, because. it shows that rail-,
roads do sometimes go out of their way
TO help communities through which
they rum 1t also shows that the com
nnunities so aided are not slow to man
ifest their appreciation of the assist
anee so rendered Some months ago
ened with destruction by the flood wa
tiers of the Des Moines river.
The Rock Island railroad runs
through Harvey. As soon as the condi-
ton of the town was made known TO
the company a long train of freight
cars was sent to Harvey. and the
people were told to pile their movables
into them. They were not slow to ac-
cept the offer. Many times the train
was loaded. run to a place of safety
and unloaded. Thousands of dollars
worth of property was saved and the
railroad company made no charge
whatever for its services.
Now the Rock Island is building
bridge across the Dess Moines at Har-
vey. The other day there was a short
age of teams and laborers The peopla
heard of it and turned out with horses,
plows and ~scrapers. To a man they
volunteered their services without
charge to the company for a week The
offer was accepted, and the dirt has
been flying at a rapid background the
river bank IL is a pretty little story,
one that reflects credit alike upon the
people of Harvey and the Rock Island
management.
Railroads are SO often arbitrary and
unjust in their dealings with small
towns that it is a pleasure to record
an instance where the supposed rule
does not hold good. And the people Of
small cities are very apt to regard the
railroad as destroying monster. legit-
innate game for the damage-suit hunter
and for the fraudulent claim promoter
There is much to be said on both sides,
much that is good as we'll as much that
is bad
As rule, as was aptly stated once
by James j. Hill, no railroad can pros
per without sharing its prosperity will
the territory through which it runs.
Unless the people have freight coming
in and freight going out. passengers
coming in and passengers going out.
the railroad cannot prosper. Without
exception the greatest factors in the
upbuilding of the country are the rail-
roads, but they must have the good
will of their constituents or they can
not hope to succeed.

HleHsALLs CAUSE WAR.

I 7 HAS DEVELOPED that the teapot
sputter in Colombia last week was
caused largely by the justly celebrated
American highball. General Vasquez
Cobos, leader of the insurgents, me- the
highball for the first time on the even
ing the revolution" broke. out. The
combination of mineral water, ice and
whisky was extremely soothing to him
and he looked upon it often.
The first highball merely produced in
him feeling of gentle exhilaration,
After the second he conceived the no.
ton that he was considerable of a man.
too big, indeed, to be merely an army
officer. The third had hardly. taken
hold before General Cobos remembered
with sympathetic tears that some of
the private soldiers in the Colombian
army had drawn no money since the
last payday, some weeks before. Also
he remembered that they had been
compelled TO live on ordinary army RAJ
tions
The fourth highball found General
Cobos feeling that something should be
done at once for the distressed soldiers,
and, incidentally. for Cobos himself
When he had partaken of the fifth he
shouted for his horse and climbed un-
steadily upon the animal Immediately
he dashed away to the barracks, or
dered out the starving soldiers and
charged with them upon the residence
of the governor.
That official had had no highballs.
Consequently he was not brave. He
took TO the woods with more dispatch
than dignity. For time Cobos led
hot pursuit. Then he grew weary.
The fire of the highballs fiickered and
died away and great desire for sleep
came upon him. He thought he would
lie down for few minutes, at the con-
clusion of which he would continue the
chase of the governor. So he lay down.
1t was morning when Cobos awaked,
"the cold gray dawn of the morning
aftsr." He was in a prison cell. The
revolution was over. Cobos has sworn
off on American highballs. Almost
they caused him TO lose his head. In
deed. they may yet cause him TO lose it.
