an old soldier by name of j. J.
Ravens, Versailles, .. For years
he was troubled with Kidney dis

cines gave him relief. At length
he tried Electric Bitters. 1t put
him on his feet in short order and
now he testifes: "I'm on the road
to complete recovery" Best on
earth for Liver and Kidney
troubles and all forms of Stomach
and Bowel Complaints. Only 50c.

Betterton visited Rising Sun on
Tuesday and played the Orioles the
return game. Harris was in the
box for the Sun and was batted for
eleven runs, when he was relieved
by Reynolds who stopped the
scoring, not allowing a hit, but he
was too late, the Betterton team
having enough runs to win the
game, the result being score of
lie. The score by innings:
Rising Sun 90 % o o 1-6
Betterton 0 8 5 0 0 0 o oil

The winners ON Saturday were
Rising Sun, Elkton, North East and
COlora.
North East defeated the Chesa-
peake City team 1875.
Elkton easily defeated the granite
men 1910, McKenney being again
the chief stumbling block.
The best game in the county was
between Colora and Perryville,
going to fourteen innings and result
ing 6-5 in favor of Colora.
The Rising Sun-Baldwin game

weavers failed to appear SO the
orioles took their positions on the
field, Reynolds then pitched some
balls over the plate and umpire
Cole awarded the game to Rising
Sun by the score of 90.

In the State elections this week Yer
mont has been carried by the Republicans
by $4,000, gain of 1000 over 1900.
Arkansas went Democratic by 10000,
which is about 10000 less than in 1900.
Does this indicate the strength of the
united democracy or is it one of their

Parkinson Reunion.

The reunion of the family of Samuel
r. Parkinson at Franklin Tuesday
was grand affair, Judging from the
account In the Cache Valley News.
That paper devotes two columns de-
scriptive Of the pleasures of the day, "a
portion Of which is as follows:
The exercises of the day began at
l O'Clock p. m. The program was
divided into two divisions, the Grand
children occupying the time from
l until O'Clock p. m. in rendering
their little songs, recitations and
music for Grandpa. From O'Clock
until o'clock, the family partook of
the bounteous dinner which had been
arranged by the committee.
At 8 o'clock the evenings exercises
began, consisting of songs, sketches
and instrumental music by the older
members of the family
Among the parts rendered during
the day, two deserve special notice;
lst, the historical sketch of the
fathers life prepared and delivered by
William, which showed that Patriarch
Samuel r. Parkinson has had most
remarkable career: having circumnavi-
gated the globe when but a boy. In
his young manhood he settled at 81.

After their marriage, they migrated
with the Latter-day Saints to these
valleys where they passed through
every stage of pioneer life, going
through all CT the hardships conse-
quent to those early days in Utah and
Idaho.
TO him belongs the honor of being
one of the first to build school house
in the state OF Idaho. He has been
one of the most loyal supporters of the
cause Of education and has done much
in support of our local commonwealth.
End. The Genealogical Tree pre-
pared and delivered by Geo. G. was a

A DREAM OF THE CAR.
How Father John Explained Vision Of
Russian Monarch,

This fable, dealing with the fall OF
White, the Russian finance minister,
is related in a recent brochure en-
titled, "A Glance at the Secrets Of
Russian Policy" published at Vienna:
1.-THE car dreamed the following sim
gular dream. He saw three cows, one
fat, one lean and one blind. The next
day he sent for the Metropolitan Pal
ladius and begged him to explain the
dream, but the metropolitan declined.
The car then sent for Father John
of Kronstadt and made the same re-
quest to him. Father John stroked
his long curly hair with his hand and
made reply in the following words
'Yom majesty, understand your
dream in this way: The fat COW is
the finance minister, the lean one is
the Russian people, and the blind
one Don't be afraid; go on, said
the czar. The blind COW is-your
majesty"
