New Base Ball Rules.

Willmar has a base ball team and
presumably its proper proportion of
base ball "cranks." To these the
latest rules in the national game, as
interpreted by President Pullman of
the national league will be of interest
Under rule 60, as amended, the
pitcher is required to stand facing the
batsman with both feet in front of the
pitchers plate. This will prevent
twirlers from using the "cross-6re''
delivery which has proven so effective
in the past. In order to make a
"cross fire" delivery the pitcher is
compelled to place one foot at the
side of the rubber. The new rules
will not permit this and as q result
the pitcher will be obliged to depend
upon his cleverness to originate a
substitute play which will be equally
effective.
Umpires must enforce the balk rule
to the letter. Hereafter If pitcher
makes a motion of any kind with his
hands, body, legs Or feethe must follow
it with delivery OF the ball to the bat
or have a balk called on him A
trick play that heretofore was covered
by any rule will this season result
disastrously to the perpetrator.
Should q coacher at third base start
for the Mate to draw A. NAV from a
fielder, the runner entitled to that will
be declared out for such infere nee.
Two coachers instead of one as for
merly will be allowed.

From the Benson Monitor.
The Minneapolis paper known as
"Both Sides,' which recently printed
q scurrilous article rejecting upon
the character of Prof. H. S. Rilleboe,
of Benson, ia its last issue published
q complete retrac.ion and apology.
The latter is given below, the copy
having been furnished the Monitor by
the author OF the communication on
this subject, published in the Monitor
two weeks ago over the signature OF

Sin the issue of April 18th, 1904, OF

Symposium, we therein made certain
statements which we, at that time from
information given US, relied on and
published in good faith as true, and
VIII CHI now, from reliable information
recently disclosed, we find our state
ments to be false and erroneous.
We refer particularly to certain
statements, about fifteen paragraphs
in all, concerning Professor Fl. S.
HillebOe, of Benson, Minnesota.
When this inform alton, which led to
the above was hat ded US, we took
same to be nothing more than little
political chatf, such as is frequently
handed around as political talk, and
not published with any intent or mo-
tive, malicious or otherwise, to injure
or harm anyone. We now learn to

upright, highly cultured and respected
citizen of that city.
We regret just as much as men CAL
possibly regret that those statements
concerning this gentleman were ever
published, as we know that same were
false, erroneous and untrue and tc
make the same right, so that no harm
can possibly result there:rom, we here

Lots of KIssinu.

81 dare say that there is more kissing
going on at the Union passenger station In
birmingham than In any other spot In the
state" said drummer During the
busy hours of the day and night when
there is a great hurrying to and fro of
travellers kisses are heard on every side.
There is the lingering Oscillation of lovers,
the resounding smack of people whose
stock of affection far out weighs their
discretion, perfunctory kisses, stolen
kisses. and every imaginable kind of kiss
that has ever been discovered Wives
kiss their husbands goodbye, or welcome
them on their return home; sweethearts
surreptitiously take advantage of the oc-
casion to osculate; grandmothers kiss
grandchildren, children kiss each other
and even mOthers-in-law share in the
general oseulation.
Now l am no advocate of the anti-pub-
lic-kissing crusade. On the contrary L
believe that everybody ought to kiss as
much as possible and the younger people
are the more they ought to kiss. So long
as they do not block the way to trains
and impede the progress of unfortunate
travellers who cannot kiss and are not
kissed. ! have no objections to people
kissing in public even If am not per
mitted to share in 1t myself"

RudYard KipIlnq AGAIN.

Mr.. Kipling stands for empire and n
preferential tariff. Above all else he
is a Joe Chamberlain man, and his
new song of which the cable brings us
but two stanzas places the Birming-
ham statesman above all the rest. In
Mr.. Kiplings poetic estimation Mr..
Chamberlain is the man of the hour.
He is Dothan's dreamer Now Do
thans dreamer was Joseph, son of
Jacob of old Some of us may have
thought that Dothan was in south Ala
bama, but the first Dothan was in the
east, and 1t was there that Joseph's
brethren took him and sold him to the
Midianites Tor twenty pieces of silver.
Joseph was dreamer, and his breth-
rem had no use for dreamer. The
Midianites bought and sold better than
they knew. they took Joseph, the
dreamer, to Egypt, and sold him to
Potiphar, prince OF Egypt, where the
dreamer proceeded to coin his dreams
into something substantial Says Mr..
Kipling:
where Dotnan's dreamer dreams
anew
OF vast and forborne harvestings."
This is a call to empire, and the
muse is on the hustings But Joseph
Chamberlain is no dreamer. He is a
politician with an eye single to the
premiership. He proposes to talk en-
pire and to offer the colonies brides in
the form of preferential duties with
out stopping to think that he would
thereby increase the cost of living in
the home islands, thus adding to the
prevailing distress and poverty. The
vast and forborne haryestings would
be marked up in Great Britain, and the
British voter will think twice before
he adopts Mr. Kipling's stirring lines
as a basis of political action.

TESTING the Lusk Bill.

Tile lawyers Of this city have de-
cided that the quicker a case involv-
ing the eonstitutionality of the Buslz
bill is presented the better for all parts
of the state, and it is hoped that the
supreme court will consent to hear
such a case in September No doubt
this is the better plan, always pro-
vided the supreme court will heed the
appeal for help by meeting in Sep
TENDER.
II the court should declare the act
unconstitutional, the state would have
to go until 1907 before any Judicial
relief or reorganization can be brought
to bear on business coming before
the courts of this state. -Four years
between sessions begins to look I'M
reasonable, but in a severe emergency
there is always possible call for
an extra session.
The entire situation should be
lesson to the legislator. Legislative
work that will not hold good should
be brought home to the men that did
it to the end that its like may not
soon be inflicted on the people again.
Legislators should be selected who
know the constitution of 1901 and
who are willing to read the bills they
vote for
1t will be fortunate indeed II the
work of legal rectihcation can be ac-
complished De4U.s the November cleo
ton. Suitors can thus be saved from
losses and confusion, and an under
standing had which will enable the
state to go along until the legislature
meets in January, 1907. The quadren.
NAL session is on trial. and not few
think 1t will soon stand condemned.

Railroad BUILDING.

THE statement is made that 107 new
railroads were incorporated In the south
during the six months ending July L.
remarked a man interested in the growth
Of this section yesterday evening.
Whether or not this number of rail-
roads will prove directly profitable to
their promoters I do not know, but one
thing is quite certain-railroads are the
most potent developing agencies of the
century, and the natural wealth of the
south presents such an inviting field for
industry that we must expect to see with
in few years perfect net work of
railroad lines constructed until there shall
not be a county untouched nor a hamlet
beyond sound of the locomotive whistles

case was decided in the Paris courts
recently of a well-known womens tailor
who sued one of his client for the cost
of an outfit for her dog. The figure he
claimed ran well into the thousands. 1t
is fashionable in European capitals to-
day to have the dog dressed in clothes to
harmonic with those of the mistress, and
the mad freaks of dog fashions are as
startling to the mere man as those which
the dogs owner displays.
Among the titled ladies' of England who
keep menageries is the duchess of Bed

animals is famous. Another English So

PERSON MAY BE SENT BY MAIL.

From the Chicago Journal.
Many persons will be surprised, doubt
less. to know that in England a person
can be sent from one part OF the. king
dom to another by mall--just as If he
was nothing more than a mere letter.
One day a man called at st. Mar
tins lie Grand with the object of con-
sulting a directory and finding the adj
dress of a customer who lived in "a re-
mote part of BALKAN. He was not ac-
quainted with the locality ard was most
anxious to see his customer at once.
These facts he mentioned to an obliging
clerk behind the counter.
He was at once Informed that he could
be sent to the required address by regis
tered mail at a fee of 6 cents mile.
The man gladly accepted the offer. and in
less than a minutes found himself in
charge of smart messenger boy, who
very soon guided him by the shortest
route to his destination.
The boy carried in his hand a printed
slip with a description of his mailed
parcel under the heading Article re-
CURED to be delivered and this he re-
quired the man and customer to sign be-
fore he left the latter's house.
1t is probable that few people are
aware Of the regulation under which
this curious postal transaction was ac-
complshed. 1t reads thus; "A person may
be conducted by express messenger to
any address on payment of the mileage
fee"

Mr.. cannon,a Record.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
Much reliance In this campaign will
be put by the republicans on the speeches
to be made by Speaker Cannon. And the
republicans are so attached to the silver
issue that they are determined to lug 1t
in, though they admit that 1t is dead, on
the ground that the democratic party has
not always been right on 1t. This makes it
worth while to look up Mr.. Cannon's own
record, to see whether he has always
been in accord with the present position
Of his party.
In 1878 Speaker Cannon voted to override
the veto OF Mr.. Hayes a President of his
own party. of the Bland-Allison silver
bill. In 1890 he voted for the Sherman
silver purchase law, and in 1898. after
it had precipitated a panic, he voted
against the repeal of It. In 1895 he voted
to reject the proposition to make United
States bonds payable in gold.
These things are not now in issue, but
IL the republicans insist on raising the
unquiet ghost of silver, by all means
let us have the whole story.

Judge Driver Predicts Victory.

Judge Allen ]. Driver. Jr.. of Lafayette,
probate judge of Chambers county is in
the city. He was recently renominated
over a strong and popular opponent, which
speaks well for his ability and popular
ity. In addition to being one of the young
est judges in the state Judge Driver is one
of Alabama's leading democrats ard takes
a prominent part in the councils of the
party.
Judge Driver was a delegate from the
Fifth district to the democratic national
convention at st. Louis, and is well in
formed on the national questions. When
asked about the chances of democratic
success this year, he said: THE pros
poets for a democratic landslide are
brighter this year than they have been
in years. The ticket is one that will
please the conservative people of the coun-
try, and the platform is safe and sane
In my opinion" continued the judge,
