BASE BALL.

Woodstock and Bridgewater will
play on Vail field this afternoon at
4 o'clock.
The members of the Woodstock
team will appear in new uniforms in
today's game.
There was no ball game on Vail
field Wednesday AFTERNOON, owing
to the non-appearance of the Dart
mouth S. S. team, much to the dis
appointment of the spectators who
filled the grand stand. Manager
Howes is justly indignant over the
failure of the 5. SIS to show up.
Their manager, Jake Smith tele-
phoned him Monday that his team
would surely be here for game at
d p. M, but there was no response
to telephone messages to Hanover
Wednesday afternoon and not hing
had been heard up to Friday in ex-
PLANTATION of the failure to play here.

entirely without water for either
drinking purposes or fire fighting.

the city which is lower in the valley.
The conditions will be worse unless
heavy rains come. 1t was not known
that the water was low until just
before it gave out, and the authori-
ties are being severely criticised.

GEORGE W. H. DAVIS.

A prominent member Of the
last legislature remarked to- the
writer just before the legislative
convention in this county, that
the next legislature would not be
complete without Geo. w. II.
Davis. Those who know his
brilliant record in that body can
understand the truth of that re-
mark. Mr.. Davis by sheer abil-.
iity, has become the recognized
leader Of the house. In the last
session it was often said that
when Davis was for a measure
it could not fail to pass. He
never abused his power, and it
lis safe to say that no man in the
state had more in auence in
directing legislation than he.f
AS an organizer and manager
on the floor he was acknoWled-
iged without a peer. He was
the father Of the famous pri-
mary election bill, which is re-
Ecognized as the greatest measure
of its kind ever presented in any
state. His powerful influence
in the legislature was well
demo nstrated in the fight on that
measure. 1t was opposed by
some Of the political leaders,
and an attempt was made to kill
the bill in the committee. Mr..
Davis forced the committee to
make report, and when the ma
jority made an unfayorable re-
port, he led one Of the most
masterful and brilliant fights
ever made on the floor Of the
house, and secured the adoption
Of the minority report, and the
passage Of the bill. 1t failed of
passage IN the senate, but Mr..
Davis means to make another
fight next year, and believes he
will win. The repub blicans of
this county would be derelict in
their duty if they did not give
Mr.. Davis a rousing majority.
