Yesterday the new Sistersvi!le
baseball team played the irst
game on the home grounds. 1t IS
composed of a part of the old
Sistersville team and a part of the
Parkersburg nine. When this
team wins, according to the Park
ersburg papers, it's the Parkers-
burg nine, but if they lose they
call it our team. When they play
ed here before they wore blue
suits with the word "Parkers-
burg" across the breast. They dis
carded these "hoodoo" suits yes
terday, and won the game. Any
thing with the name Parkersburg
on it is too slow to even beat Mar
ietta-the slowest thing OH earth.
The team from this on will play
ball.
The score yesterday was 5 to 4
in favor of the home team. Sala-
dine, the splendid little Sisters
vile shortstop, won the game. In

SISTERSWLLE DE.
FEATS MANSFIELD

the first inning there was one man
down and two on bases, when Sal
adine took the bat. He swatted
the ball away out in the left field,
brought two men home and went
to second himself. Abrams, the
favorite left fielder, is playing,
and Philpot, who used to worry
us so when he pitched here for
the Woodsfeld team, has been en-
gagged and will probably pitch
this afternoon. Farmer Dean Col
Inns will also arrive here today
and will probably pitch tomor-
rows game. The team will soon
be in good shape to beat anything
in the Ohio Valley.
The Mansfield team plays good
ball. They are all gentlemanly
players, work hard all the time,
and it takes a good team to beat
them. The teams will play again
this afternoon and tomorrow af-
ternoon on the home grounds.

Poeahontas county, this State,
has a genuine attack of the gold
fever, and excitement is swelling
rapidly over the finding of, real
or rumored gold-bearing ore.
Claims are being staked out and
enthusiasts are already figuring
on how to spend the money they
fondly believe will be theirs.
Some years ago there were
dreams Of untold wealth hidden
beneath the well-tilled farms in
Pocohontas county, and although
the dreams did not come true,
some of the "faithful" never lost
hope. Now that news Of another
discovery has been made, it natur-
ally has been credulously receiv-
ed. While it is not probable that
the new Eldorado will ever JUS
tify the wild faith that is reposed
in it just now by hundreds Of Peo-
pie, it is no reason it should be
set aside without giving the mat
ter at least a second thought. How
many gold fields have measured
up to the first claims that were
made for them? Even in the
lands from which the world now
draws it's supply of the precious

metal the mines that really pro-
duce proftably are hedged about
with an innumerable surrounding
of what an oil man would term
dry holes. Wheat is only to be
found amid the chaff, and even
where that is thickest there may
still be some wheat.
If the blood Of the Argonauts
still flow in the veins of a man
why should not it's ardor be cool
ed in PocahOntas county? The
prospector who seeks gold at Grip
pie Creek may run foul of armed
soldiery and rioting miners. In
Alaska bitter extremes of eli
mate at certain seasons of the year
make the prize incommensurate
with the efforts. At Thunder
Mountain nature must be fought
hand to hand before she yields up
her treasure. More than all this,
if the quest be vain the luckless
searcher finds himself far from
home facing a weary road before
he may return. If the worst
should come to pass in the wilds
of Pocahontas county, however,
home is still in walking distance
which fact should encourage the
average prospecOtr.

BARRED At WORLD'S FAIR

Chicago, June S0.-The Eighth regi-
ment, Illinois National Guard, under
command of Col. Fl. Q. Marshall, is
barred by the st. Louis Exposition
officials. The Eighth is a colored
regiment which fought nobly" in
Cuba. The organization had made
preparations to attend the fair in all
the panoply OF war. Col. Marshall
asked that quarters be provided them
in the barracks occupied by other
militia organizations.
In reply he was told that colored
troops could not be allowed in the
barracks occupied by white troops nor
could any protection of barracks or
other quarters be assigned them. They
could come. but they must provide a
camp and commissary outfit of their
own and go into camp outside the
grounds.
The indignant colonel and his aides
and line officers appealed to Uncle
Sam for redress, calling attention to
the brave work of the regiment in
Cuba Uncle Sam said it all rested
with The fair officials and he could
do nothing. They have abandoned
the trip.

HI YRAKE FOR al ASK1.

A Seattle firm has received an
order from Rampant, Alaska, for a
moving machine and horse hayrske.
This is said to be the first order of
the kind that has ever come from
western Alaska, and appears to offer
proof that the land of the midnight
sun has other resources than gold and
fish. The order for the machine
came from pack train operator, who
has spent seven years in the country
and evidently knows what it is cap
able of. Western Alaska is too close
to the Arctic circle for very long sum-
mers, but the days are so long and
warm that cereals and grasses are said
to mature much quicker than in lati-
tudes farther south Farming may
never become an industry of very
great Importance in Alaska, but as the
country develops on other lines. there
will be a demand Tor agricultural
products which may make their oul
ture even under adverse circumstances
quite profitable. Portland Oregoni-

A THOROUGH SUCCESS.
A TRIUMPH WON BY The TONIC
TREATMENT FOR INOI-
GESTI0N.
A Sound Principle Strengthen
the Stomach to Do Its Proper
Work and Permanent
Relief Follows.

The tonic treatment for indigestion
is having remarkable success in cur
ing obstinate cases of that distressing
malady. 1t is based on the principle
that remedies which digest the food
for the stomach really weaken it's
power through dissuse, and that the
digestive organs can never do their
WORK properly until they are strong
enough to do it for themselves. The
strength which they need must be
supplied through the blood to the
muscles and nerves. The entire sys-
tenn then aids in the digestive process
and recovery is rapid and thorough.
A striking illustration of the
soundness of this principle is given
by the recent cure of Miss May Briggs

Were Among Their Number.
An Englishman and an Irishman
were among the sturdy 120 ad-
venturers who sailed with Columbus
In the three small hundred tonners.
This may have been due to the well
known fact that nothing brings men of
different races together more than
maritime and commercial enterprise,
or, still more probably, because they

Even on remote atolls of the south
