AN EXCITING FETISH.

The Jackson boys were defeated in
a hard-fought and well paved game
at the park yesterday stcrnoon by
the Paducah league team by score
of to 2. IL was picher's battle
and the result shows he difference
between a strike-out picher and one
who uses hesd-work. Best pitched
for Paducsh, and Freeman, the form
er Paducah pitcher, foi Jackson. Best
struck ont three men, but only three
hits and two runs wre made Oft his
delivery, while Freeman famed four
teen. and still six his and three runs
were made Off hin, and he lost the
game.
A large crowd Witnessed the con-
test. and for severa innings the score
stood . to 2. God playing marked
the entire game, nly two errors be-
ing made on ether side. In the
fourth inning a leavy shower came
up, and it looked for awhile as if the
game could not % played ON the wet
grounds, but thy soon dried out and
the remainder Of the game was in
tensely exciting
Il was the second eleven-inning
game that Freeman lost on the local
diamond, one being the 1 to game
with Cairo when he pitched for Padu-
cab and lost his own game. There
were some pretty plays yesterday, and
the fielding of both Long and Gage,
in left and right field respectively,
was a feat ure, while Benke at first had
sixteen put outs without an error, an
excellent showing.
In the tenth inning LeCompte had
a nice chance 20 win the game, as he
came up with three men on bases and
two outs, and a single would have
done the work, He couldn't connect
with Freeman's Blenders, however,
and famed out In the eleventh with
two men out Girard was given pas
and Best hit it ont, advancing Girard
to Third. Long came to the bat anc
soon had two strikes against him, blu
lined one out to center field fenc'
which Murray couldn't get and ende'
the game. The crowd was greatly
pleased with the game ana one NOR
inning would have necessitated tn
game being called on account of dark
ness, as it was almost too dark 20 pla
when the winning run was made
Lloyd and Cole umpired and gave sa'
isfaction.

General Nelson A. Miles, who did
all he could to keep the war depart
ment and army in a stew until he was
retired few days ago, is now in favor
of abolishing the army entirely not
only of this country, but Of every
other country as we'll. He has evolved
a plan for dissrming the world. and
believes that international peace can
be secured by the United States, and
that now is the time for disarmament.
He wants an international congress
called for Washington to take up the
matter. but thus far no one has called
it. General Miles doubtless knows a
great deal about military matters, but
evidently he doesn't know much about
human nature.

A New Jersey Judge was pretty
rough on a big tobacco concern In
commenting on arguments for re-
ceiver. He said that it was swindle,
and all that, but it didn't change the
fact that "the people who bought
stock in it were fools" The same is
true of good many enterprises of
modern times. The stock is inflated
and unlosded ON the public, and the
real purpose of the promoters is thus
accomplished. But it couldn't be done
if there were not so many fools.

Slot Machines are Illegal.

Attorney General Bagley has
rendered an opinion to the effect
that slot machines are prohibited in
this state under the Idaho anti
gambling law. Not only the own
ers, but the players as we'll are
guilty of misdemeanor. There is
only one IN Montpelier and when
this decision came out 1t was
promptly taken out of sight.
The opinion is good one. as no
more vicious form Of gambling ex.
lists than the slot machine.

A Splendid Band.

Few people know that Montpelier
has one of the best brass bands In
Idaho, considering the members
ages, and that all of It's members ex.
cept three, are boys between the
ages of | and IA years. The play
ers are as follows:
B fiat cornet, Clifford Toomer.
End B fiat, Floyd Qulnby.
Alto, Russell Groo.
End alto, Harold Toomer.
End tenor, Harry Hull.
Bass, Arthur Carrick.
G. Kollar plays tuba and Thos.
Bruce base drum for the boys, while
Bert Toomer is their leader and
teacher. The band is known as
'sToomer's Boy Band" When one
considers that these boys held their
first practice about the middle Of
January, their work can be regard
ed as almost phenomenal. The
boys play everything IN the lst and
End books and many pieces In the
srd. Mr.. Toomer expects to add
three or four more boys to the list
and then he will have one of the
best brass bands the town has ever
seen.
Both Mr.. Toomer and the BOYS
are to be congratulated on their
splendid showing tor so short a
time, and the Examiner hopes the
people will see to it that the bows
are encouraged to keep the organic
alton together and to improve it as
fast as possible.

He turned and saw before him young
boy whom at first he did not recog-
nize.
Here he is" the boy said.
Here who is?" exclaimed Mr.. Way
burn.
"B. j." said the boy, 81 am B. ]. I
was many miles away from here, but
1 happened to see a Keokuk paper,
and read that the Lakerimmers need
ed me. So I thought 1 had better
come. 1 missed the passenger train, but
managed to get here on freight train
Just a few minutes ago. 1 dropped
off the caboose at the foot of the bluff,
and came up as quickly as l could.
/ hope I'm not too late"
When the Lakerimmers saw that
the prodigal had returned, they nearly
pulled his arms out of their sockets
shaking hands with him and hugging
him. Mr.. Wayburn made a new
speech to the audience, taking back all
he had said in his first, and introduce
ing B. ]. They treated him as If he
were a conquering hero. instead Of a
runaway who had returned at the
eleventh hour.
B. ]. was not long in whipping off
his clothes and getting into light
rowing costume. He explained that
he was out of practice but would do
his best. He was used to padding his
races on straightaway course, and
the sight Of the small pool in which
he must go round and round made
him still more anxious.
But his spunk was up and he was
determined to wipe out the disgrace
he stood in with his chums by giving
them the victory they needed so much.
Keokuks best canoeist was a swift
and strong young paddler named
Meacham. The race round the pool
was to be conducted like a chariot
race round a circus ring. So that the
man who started inside should not
have the great advantage of rowing
a much shorter distance, it was agreed
that at the end of each lap he should
take the outside. Meacham won the
toss and took the inside position.
When the pistol rang out the two
paddlers smote the water together,
and it was nip and tuck to the end Of
the pool but here Meacham's advan-
tage showed, and since B. j. had to
make the lone turn, Meacham was a
length ahead Of him at the return to
the starting point. But here was B. Us
right to take the inside track, and he
gained so quickly on Meacham that at
the half way distance they were again
even and he beat Meacham to the
starting point by a length. On the
next lap Meacham regained exactly
the same lead. On the following lap
the length ahead was B. Us. So it
went for six laps. At the seventh lap,
though Meacham had the inside track
he was only half length ahead of B.
]. At the ninth lap when he again
was on the inside, they were nose and
nose. On the eleventh time round B.
J. was half a length ahead. On the
twentieth and last lap B. j. finished
when Meacham was only at the 9TH
er end of the pool.
This event was so handsomely won
that the Lskerimmers forgot that b.
]. had ever left them in the lurch, and
treated him as II he were young
prince who had come back to his de-
voted subject

rolled on barrel to empty the water
out of him. Then they laid him upon

to keep it from dropping back and
suttocating him, SaWed-off and Jumbo

minutes they We're breathing of their

and asked weakly where he was.

The score of events was now six to
four. The eleventh was a canoe race.
None of the Lakerimmers except B. J.
could pretend to be speedy with the
paddle in single canoe. B. ]. had a
particularly new American way of ca
noeing, that had made him an easy
victor over all competitors. The Lake
runners needed this next event sadly
in their score. And their complaints of
B. US disappearance were long and
loud. They thought it only fair to
have an announcement made to the
spectators to the effect that their only
first-class canoeist had suddenly left
| them. Quiz was the next best, but
there was a long distance between his
record and B. Js
Mr.. Wayburn stepped forward to
the front of the grand stand took off
his hat. bowed low, and coughed three
times with great solemnity. Then he
said:
Ladies and Gentlemen-ahem-
ahen-I regret to announce that one
of the best living boy canoeists is not
here to entertain you with his speed.
1t is only fair to our guests, the Lake
rim Athletic Club. to announce to you
that it is only their true SPORTSMAN
ship that leads them to enter the next
event at all as their best canoeist, Mr..
Henry Perkins, better known as B. j..
is absent. and no one knows where he
is"
At this moment Mr.. Wayburn felt
his coat-tails being vigorously yanked.

curiosity. and when two or three days

I A white lace hat which has white
lilacs for a trimming has a shape
which is rather novelty this year.
Instead of the brim following the fiat
models which generally obtain, it has
a decided upward roll, especially on
the left side, where it shows a knot of
tulle underneath. The moderately
low crown is yelled by a loose. rather
ragged wreath of the lilacs. Grhe SUI
periority of these loose wreaths over
the close ones worn in other years is
seen at a glance. Their possibilities
for artistic effect are unlimited.
But the habit of many seasons
brings back the Iseghorn once more.
1t can never be entirely superseded
by lace or tulle, however charming
the latter may be. They are trimmed
with flowers or feathers, though chif-
fon scarfs are being used. Many of
them have chiffon strings. 1t is an
English fashion, and a very pretty
one.
A white Leghorn fiat is delightfully."-
cool and refreshing in it's colorings
The dropping brim and low fiat crown
are wreathed with wistaria in the nat
ural shades. A bandeau covered with
black velvet ribbon fits the hat to the
head, and a knot of the ribbon and a
spray of the wistaria are introduced
on the left side.
Shaded plun1es are fashionable on
the Leghorn picture hats. In lavender
and white. blue and white, and black
and white. they furnish an effective
trimming. Their use has almost done
away with the mixing of plumes of
different colors on the same hat. The
effect is much less spotty and accords
with the passion for shading which
exists this summer
