BASE BALL CHAT
FOR CAIRO FANS

Rain fell heavily at the ball yard
yesterday afternoon at the commence
ment OF the last half of the third in
ming and when the rain Of hits had
been counted up it was found that
the Champions had secured a series Of
triplets, doubles and singles. the WISH
tors fling up errors enabling eight
blue legged Cairoites to cross the
plate with runs.
The fourth inning was almost a dup
lieate, but the Champions played
horse" and only three runs were
scored The rain of hits and errors
again were in evidence,
in the fifth Capt. Armstrong took
pity on his outfelders, who were sore
and tired. and he sent Doutelle To
the stable and substituted Bailey Mr.
Bailey was likewise pie and his de
livery lasted as long as snow ball
way down yonder Rain of hits and
errors, Three more runs,
In the seventh more rain, more
runs. Phew. but it was tough on the
Hoptown outiielders. Their tongues
were hanging out from the terrible eX'
ertion to which they had been sab
jeeted. Red Armstrong was mad
clear through.
In the eighth the rain ceased and
there was "nuthin doin' for the
champs. Nineteen runs were quite
sufficient for one day
The Browns scored their only two
runs in the seventh inning by bunch
ing their hits on Holycross' delivery

Africa and Her Doom.

And gloomy eyes that spell despair,
She who Is oldyet young o. face
She to whom Tell the dark disgrace.
Gains evil brood to bear,
OF millions killed by fire and Hood
And though her parted lips are sweet,
Beneath her slender. tired feet
Run riYulets OF blood
Misfortune met her at her Birth:
Her children bore the brand % Cain;
Her lands the home Of savage brutes,
OF sUngitss bigds--of bitter fruits
OF slavery and pain,
Her wenl.h has tempted many men:
But for herself not one bath sighed.
And lower bows the dusky head
From sGJnbcr eyes salt tears are shed,
or bitter WCundcd pride

GLANCE FoR THE COUNTY.

The board of county commissioners
have suggested that the county spend
81, 900 prospecting for Oil on the county
poor farm.
The Commercial club has offered
prize of $1,000 to the party who first
finds oil in Shawnee county.
The commissioners might earn the re-
ward and turn it into the county treas
ury.
The expense of sinking a prospect
hole on the poor farm 1000 feet would
be about a dollar foot. This would
not be a great expense to the tax pay
ers. 1t would not increase taxes but
the finding of oil or gas in the county
might greatly diminish the rate of tax
alton. If the county commissioners
think that the tax payers would COM
mend such an expenditure they will
bore for OIL Why not let the tax pay
'ers, If they approve of the scheme,
express their favor of the proposed plan
to the commissioners?

GOOD WORDS FOR MIR. WARE.
TMilWaukee Sentinel. 4

| Since the announcement of his resig-
nation Eugene F. Ware, commissioners
| of pensions, has been the object of
more or less newspaper raillery and
some criticism that has had more than
the common and pardonab1e disposition
to be funny back of it.
That Me. Ware has made enemies in
the administration of what is probably
the most trying among the more i'm
portant places in the public service
there can be no doubt; but if that man
lives who can serve conscientiously at
the head of the pension bureau and not
make enemies by the score he is yet
to be discovered. In fact, it would be
in the nature of an indictment against
any pension commissioner to say that
he served without making an enemy.
From all information at hand Mr..
Ware has made record for faithful
and, in the main, tactful service that
compares favorably with that of any
predecessor. That he has sought to do
justice to the veteran claimants on the
nations bounty-and not the cold, bare
justice of a man in whom wholesome
sentiment has no place-there is abun-
dant reason to believe. That he has at
the same time used his most intelligent
efforts to keep down expenses and out
lays in his department is supported by
evidence which cannot be brushed aside.
Indeed, one of the stories printed in a
spirit of apparent hostility to him is
to the effect that he has incurred the
displeasure of his chief in the interior
department by ignoring him in appeal
ing directly to the house committee on
appropriations to have provision for the
pay of thirty or forty clerks in the pen
sion office by him deemed superf1uous
cut off. However, he may have sinned
officially in not according due respect
to his superior. the fact remains that
this move Of Mr.. Ware would reduce
the running expenses of the bureau
some $50, 900 annually.
The public, it would seem, ought not
to lose sight of the fact in the midst of
this merry fusillate from the paragraph
ic sharpshooters that the pension
bureau will lose a capable and conscien-
tious chief when Mr.. Ware steps down
and out. 1t is enough to say that there
has been as much reason in his official
conduct as there is rhyme in his versic-
ular productions.

LET THERE BE GAS.

The other night the Topeka Com
mercial club offered a bonus of $4,000
to the first company or individual to
bring in" a paying gas or oil we'll
within a radius of ten miles around
Topeka. That was good thing.
There is but one objection The sum
was not made large enough. 1t should
have been $4,000. This will likely be
done, for members of the Commercial
club are urging the increase.
Various are the reasons. First of
all, it will stimulate the search for oil
or gas in this vicinity as nothing else
can do. 1t will make the finding worth
while. The sum of $1,000 will help
out considerably, If a we'll is struck, in
the way of improving the discovery.
If the offer is raised to $1,000 it
will at least result in an exhaustive
search for oil and gas in this vicinity
and probably settle definitely whether
or not it is to be found here. That
will be the main result, and it should
not be overlooked Therefore the
bonus should be big enough and
tempting enough to stimulate interest
that will actually take a hand and set
drills to working.

And by the light of Even,
And by the Stars that, one by one,

That Even might forget its gold
And Sunlight Jade forever
The constant Stars grow dim and cold
But tiny affection-never!
And Earth might wear a changeful sign
And fickleness the Sky
Yet, even then, that love of thine
Night never change nor die
The golden Sun is shining yet
And at the fall of Even
Tnere beauty in the warm Sunset,
And Stars are Light in Heaven.
No change is on the blessed Sky
The quiet Earth has none
Nature has still her copstansy,
