Boat Riding on the Colorado.

To lovers of boating Yuma presents great advantages for the pastimc; while the Colorado Is at the present stage of water.
 By entering the boat at the regular steamboat landing, pass ing under the railroad bridge down to where the old channel of the river unlteS with the river and going up that, which now contains several feet of water, one can pass around to the north of the old fort, the present In dian school, and come into the main river again above tha Heads. and from there down to the landing again, having made a circuit of several miles, with good boating ali the way. At the present stage of the river the Indian school stands on an island. Several of our citizens, have lately improved the oppor- tunity to take this delightful boat ride.

As both of the state fepublicap conventions being held in Wis cOnsin claim to be the regular thing, and both are for Roose- velt and the republican platform, it will not matter much from a national point of view which one the courts decide to uphold. The quarrel is bitter one, and Senator SpoOner never says die. Governor La Toilette claims that his convention has the majority of delegates and Senators Spoon CT and Quarles, who have bolted, make the same claims. Both cannot be right, and both may not be wrong. Wisconsin is safe ly in the republican column, for at the last presidential election the republican plurality was 106, : 597.

The WOman'S Club,

While the Yuma Ayoman's Club is taking a respite from active work dur ing the summer, the mem bers will have an occasional social gathering. so as to i keep in touch with each other until the new club year begins in September
 The first of these, socials was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. l.. Dun lap on Friday evening, June 3.d. The evening was an ideal one for such a gathering. and the bread vepanlas an ideal place. The club husbands were invited, and enough other gentlemen to make the number equal to the ladies.
 After short time spent in social converse typewriter paper was pre- sented to each guest containing a little story with numerous blanks, with the explanation that the blanks were to be filled with the names of either authors or books, and the first to fill the blanks correctly was to receive the prize. As is usual in such cases the. names of both authors and books seemed peculiarly elusive. But the blanks were all finally filled, correctly or otherwise, and the prize awarded. It was won by Dr. Balance, and was a beautiful Indian basket, such as a few years ago could have been bought for one-fourth less of the money now demanded for them. As the appreciation of the beautiful work increases the demand far exceeds the supply; so they must continue to become still more expensive:
 After this several amusing impromptu games were played, one in particular, consisting of questions and answers so well fitted to the persons to " hom they were given as to keep the company in a constant roar of merriment.
 The refreshments consisted of most delicions cakes, in variety, made by different members of the club, and pine apple sherbet, a most refreshing lunch con.
 The following persons were present:
 Mrs. Dresser, Mrs. Elliott, Mrs Hack cit, Mrs. Ketcherside, Mrs Laney, Mrs. Pugh, Mrs. Rimpau, Mrs. Spear, Mrs. Tally, Mrs. Taggart, Mrs. White; and Misses Balance, Bell, Harrington, Kent, Post and Snow; and the following gentlemen: Crandan, Dresser, Elliott, Laney, Rimpau, Smith, Spear, Vail and White.
 The gathering broke up at quite late hour. feeling that the first club social had been an exceedingly pleas ant one

Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, the wealthy and gentle mother of the presidential candidate, has felt compelled to give notice to the university of California that, owing to the great demands made upon her purse, she is forced to omit her benefactions to that institution, amounting annually to some S20,000. This IS much regretted at the college, and several teachers have re- signed. Some uncharitable peo- pie imagine that her sons tap ping of the family barrel at the bung has caused the. mother to turn off the golden stream at the spigot. Possibly after the St. Louis convention Mrs. Hearst will see her way clear to resume her gifts to the many worthy in- stitutions she has founded.

Those people who are continu- ally bowling against pensions should quit. In the first place the men who risked their lives and jeopardized or ruined thelr health in defense of their coun- try are getting mighty small re- cOmpense for the sacrifice in the pittance they receive as pensions. Besides nearly every dollar of this pension money is at once paid out and adds to the general circulation. It is the nimble dollar and not the hoarded dol lar that goes into the channels of trade, and everybody has a chance at 1t.

The dullness of the speculative market in New York City can be imagined when it is known that no less than 2,300 clerks em- ployed in Wall street have been discharged. The people for the present refuse to buy stocks. The business of getting rich quick, of exploiting trusts, and watering stock, has been so badly overdone that a reaction has set in, the result of a loss of confidence. After all, hon. esty and make haste slowly, win in the long run.

Pensions Under New Age Order.

Eugene r. Ware, United States Com missioner Of Pensions, says: "Appli- cations for pensions under the new age order are now coming in. l presume 25,000 are already on file. Many of them have been filed under the mis- taken idea that the age order means that the claimant will receive a second penSioR-that is, if the claimant is al- ready receiving pension, and is over 60, that he is entitled to another. Never theless, the number of applicants so far who will have their pensions raised $2 9 month is probably 20,000-
 The amount which this order will cest the government has been grossly exaggerated. The great death rate among old soldiers will keep the pen sion roll in such shape that the increase in pension payments will not be per rcptiblr tC he taN EaverS

Extensive prepar- atiOns for the maneurers on the old battle fields next September are now going forward and will occupy two months. General Corhin expects to be ii com mand of 25,000 men. Fifty square miles will be covered with the troops and desperate fighting with SmokelesS powder will occur. Foreign princes and pOtentates as well as generals will be invited to witness the conflict. If possible there will be wireless communication with Washington and the weather bureau will try to predict the weather with it's usual success at guessing wrong.

A WONDERFUL THROW.
Flanagan Hurls Sixteen-Pound Ham.
mer 173 Feet

John Flanagan, holder of the worlds
hammer throwing record. added a foot and
three inches to the former best figures by
hurting the sixteen pound missile an even
173 feet, at Celtic Park, New York. Satur-
day.
This marvellous performance was accom-
plished at the games for the benefit Of the
Christian Brothers Training College, Clon-
tart. Dublin Ireland, and was witnessed by
1900 persons. attracted by the very cream
of metropolitan athletic performers.
The record holder and American cham
pion at this game gave an insight as to
what was to be expected in the weight
throwing in his first trial, 1871 feet, although
many thought the Irish Hercules was not
up to a record breaking essay In his sec
ond try he fell somewhat short of his first
effort, getting the hammer but 165 feet
Then came two fouls, the last In the
qualifying and the first in his final round
of tries. Somewhat nettled by his mishaps
at not being able to keep in the circle,
Flanagan came to the mark for his fifth
throw with fire in his eye, and favored the
onlookers with his best work. 10 feet :,
inches. since the making Of the record Of
Ill feet inches In 1901.
With but one more try the champion set
himself for the great throw which was to
follow. and. spinning through the ring with
all of his old time speed, got a perfect turn
and delivery which sent the missile further
than ever before attained by an athlete.
This work was done incidental to an all
around weight throwing series; calculate
for just such a performance as the cham
piOn made.
The series consisted of contests all
scratch, with the hammer, shot, SO and
discus. the aggregate of points. based on
five for the first place, three for second
and one for a third. Flanagan scored
another first in the So second in the
discus, and third in the shot, with a total
of fourteen points. which won the series.

CLEVELAND WON.
Senators Defeated in Opening Game in
the West.


After one of the most successful eastern
trips ever made by a Cleveland base ball
club the Napoleons returned to their old
stamping ground Saturday afternoon. and
started in their long stay at home by de-
feating the Washingtons by the score of
o to-
Case Patten, the southpaw, who held the
Clevelands down to four hits and gave
them a clean coat of whitewash last We'd
nesday. was sent to the box in an effort
to duplicate his former achievement. but he
failed ingloriously. for he was batted with
regularity, and was wild at times. Still,
had his support been anything like 1t should
have been. The score would have been much
lower. and the Senators batting rally in
the ninth inning would have given the
crowd a bad ease of heart disease. instead
of a little extra amusement on the side.
Fourteen hits were made off Patten. and he
gave three bases on balls in one inning.
For eight innings bright Eyes Donahue
held the Senators down to seven hits and
not a man crossed the plate. although a
peculiar play in the sixth inning came to
his aid. OF these seven hits, three were
mere scratches. so to speak. But in the
ninth inning luck favored the Senators. for
COughIfn beat out his infield grounder and
Hill singled, while Cassidy's infield bunt
was safe, filling the bases. Then Jake
Stahl came to the rescue and cleared the
bases with his double, and scored Nc
Cormicks single. making four earned runs.
Six hits were made by the Senators in this
inning before they were retired to the
bench. The crowd cheered this grand rally.
for a Cleveland audience always likes to
see plenty of good batting.
Turner was the bright particular star in
the fielding line. for he made three par
ticularly brilliant stops and throws to first
that would have opened the eyes of even
Parent or Wallace. Hickman was in his
glory at first, and several of his scoops of
low throws would have put Harry Davis
