SAVE FIVE LIVES.
Carriage Full of People Backs OFF
Bridge Into Stream.


Auburn, Ill.,, Sept. 6.-The heroism of
two young women, Lulu and Bertha
Faust, saved the lives of a party of
five, who were hurled from bridge
into water fifteen feet below, when a
horse which they were driving became
unmanageable in the afternoon.
Mrs. Philip Faust and her two daugh-
tiers, of Auburn, Mrs. Faust's sister,
Mrs. Bowman. of Grant Island. Neb
with her 9-months-old child. started for
Divernon to attend the Labor Day cele-
bration. Two miles south of Auburn
they began to cross the Sugar creek
bridge. when the horse became fright
ened. The animal backed the convey
ance, which was double seated open
rig. off the abutment.
AS the vehicle fell, Lulu, the elder Of
the two girls, clung to the edge of the
span. Hanging by her hands she con-
trived to pull herself up to the top Of
the bridge, and then made her way
over it and down into the water. i,
There she found her sister. Bertha,
struggling in the water and carrying
Mrs. Bowman's baby. Together they
saved the child and then released Mrs.
Faust and Mrs. Bowman, who had
been pinoned under the carriage in
the stream.

pouGHERTYs FORTE.

Left Fielder Dougherty, recently OBJ
tanned from the Boston Americans by
the New York Americans, is essentially
a run getter. He is not the best out
fielder in the business, but he hits the
ball hard and gets over the bases very
fast, and he is an excellent man to have
at the top of the batting order. The
fact that he is able to start the game off
with hit seems to have given encour-
agement to the other players of the
New York team, and instead of playing
on the defensive, as they have done
most of the time since they have been a
part of baseball life in New York, they
are assuming the aggressive, with adj
vantageous results.

hamper the republicans in anything

hamper the republicans In anything
they attempted.
Mr.. Babcock and Col. Hepburn are
both convinced of the certainty of the
election of Mr.. Roosevelt. They seem
TO have no doubt on that point but
even if Judge Parker would be elected
it would still leave the democrats IN
the power of republican senate. In
the light of this fact the fooliShnesS OF
Judge Parker's statement that If elect
ed he would not accept another term
is more than ever evident. With no
possibility of getting majority OF
democrats in the senate in less than
four years Judge Parker says that he
would only accept four years knowing
that during that time he would be
utterly helpless to enact any real DEM
ocratic legislation because of the re-
publican senate.
There is no doubt that Representa-
tive Babcock is somewhat worried over
the congressional situation. He feels
pretty confident about the west but is
worried over some districts in the east.
He urges all republicans to remember
that the matter is by no means a walk
away and is himself trying his best to
dispel apathy wherever he finds 1t.

Iowa Congressman Declares s
Democratic Victory In the
House Would BE Fatal
WOULD SHAKE CONFIDENCE
Business of the Country Would Suffer
If Either Branch of the Legislative
Arm of .he Government Should Get
Into conts>,l Of the Weaklings-Mis-
eelIaneous News.

Washington, Sept 6.-Colonel Hep
burn, representative of the Ninth dis
trict of Iowa, declares that the cleo
ton of democratic majority in the
house of representatives would bring
calamity to business interests of the
country.
Colonel Hepburn believes that the
democrats with the little power that
this would give them would keep the
country so stirred up with investiga-
tons and other movements that any
thing like settled business conditions
would be impossible. 1t would give
them just enough power to worry tn
president and that they would do that
with will Colonel Hepburn has no
doubt.
Representative Babcoclk, chairman of
the republican congressional commits
tee, who spent several days in Wash
ington this week, says that he is wag-
ing his campaign along exactly these
lines:
Colonel Hepburn tells us" said Mr..
Babcock, that when the democrats
had control of the house before they
had thirty-two separate investigations
going on into various government de-
partments and business conditions over
the country. Nearly every one of them
was launched on trumped-up charges
and had not the slightest chance in the
world of yielding any good results
They were purely and simply for the
purpose of annoying and worrying the
rap1lh1iran president.
Under such conditions, continuer
Mr.. Babcock, "it is impossible to have
business in settled state and do not
think that the prosperous business men
of this country want to risk it,
The fact remains that democratic
house would be absolutely unable to
accomplish anything in the way of leg
islation and would serve only as a dis
tur'yf and block to legislation that
Should be enacted.
There is no possibility of the senate
being changed so as to overthrow the
republican majority in less than four
years and very little chance in that
time. Consequently democratic
house would be utterly helpless to en-
act any democratic legislation and all
they could do would be to retard and

TOO MANY PLAYERS
ON BASEBALL TEAMS.

The New York GisEts, who have a
long lead for the National league pen
nant, are living ptoof of the often
heard argument that baseball teams OF
the present day carry too many men.
Up to recently McGraw had depend
ed entirely on three pitchers and later
added fourth to his staff in Wiltse,
who has demonstrated his right to
take his turn with McGinnity, Math-
ewson and Taylor. The Philadelphia
American is the only other club which
has used so few pitchers this season,
and some clubs have pitched as many
as nine different men.
There is no question but that the
tendency is to carry too many pitchers
and that many twirlers would be more
effective If used oftener so as to keep
in better physical condition and retain
better control of their delivery But it
is not true that the New York club
owes all of it's success to the small
number of pitchers it has used. Nc
Graw's pitchers have doubtless done
better work than they could have done
If working only once in seven or ten
days, but McGraw has needed consid-
cradle good luck to enable him to get
/ along with so few men.
In these days of stiff competition and
when so much of the fielding is left to
the pitcher any club which depends on
three pitchers for the season will fall
by the wayside quickly if a run of
hard luck should put one or perhaps
two of those pitchers out of commits
sion for month.
Nor is there any way to recruit a
broken pitching staff, as there used to
be- before the country was covered
with minor leagues, all protected by
the national agreement and all hang
ing on to their good players like mi
sers during the playing season.
A manager must protect himself
against the accidents which are liable
to happen, at almost any minute. One
sharp hit'saay split a pitchers hand
and put hi. in the hospital for a
month. Then the rest of the staff
must pitch oftener.
Five or at most six, pitchers are a
plenty for any team to carry however.
if they are capable of pitching in the
majora class, and if they are not they
might as well be let out.
1t has been demonstrated that three
pitchers Of the right sort can do the
work well, and two good pitchers to
fall back upon are all that are needed
in the ordinary run of luck.

Knights Welcome Most Eminent
and Supreme Grand Master
of England
GREETED BY MOUNTED TROOPS
Last Train of Visiting Communicates
Checked Last Nisht-DriIs, Concerts
and Entertainments On - Knights
From New York and Chicago Already
Seeking concIave Honors.

San Francisco, Sept. 6.-The local
checked off it's entire list OF visiting
Communicates, the last to arrive being
st. Aldamer of Missouri and Oriental
of Ohio. Monday was one of great &C
tivity for the reception committees and
Sir knights detailed for escort duty.
Train after train brought tired but
cheerful Templars and their ladies, and
the uniformed visitors were escorted to
their various quarters to the accom-
paniment of patriotic music.
Among the arrivals were the follow
ing:
Chicago No. 10, Illinois; grand COM
mander of Minnesota; Ottawa No. 10,
with grand commandery of Illinois; st.
Adelmar No. Is. Missouri; st. Ber-
nard No So, Illinois; Ivanhoe No. "a,
Wisconsin; grand commandery of Ne
braska with Mount Cavalry No. /.
A notable event was the coming of
Right Honorable the Earl of Futon. the
Most Eminent and Supreme Grand
Master of the Great Priory of England
and Wales and of the dependencies of
the British crown. When the earl's
special train arrived four mounted
troops of Templars and two of foot
stood ready to receive him.
AS the earl's car drew up to the sta
ton, q committee representing the
grand master and California conman-
derry. followed by the citizens COM
mittee. filed aboard the car and We're
received by the distinguished visitor in
the front section of his car. AS the
earl stepped toward his carriage, the
band burst into livlier melody, and with
spirited music the cortege moved for
ward in it's course to the headquarters
at the Palace hotel.
The reception of this delegation from
across the sea was more replete with
ceremonial than that of any other of
the visitors to the conclave.
Last night, the visitors enjoyed var
ious drills, concerts and entertainments
provided for their amusement.
The contest for the next triennial
conclave is already on in earnest, the
sir knights from Chicago and New
York having launched their canvases.

"KING WILKES" IDENTIFIED.

The PAGER King Wilkes, which won
so handily in the 2:16 class at Troy,
N. Y, early in the season, has been
identified as the Ohio PAGER Jim Ken
nedy, 2:09A. He was being raced by
the well known trainer, r. l.. Davis,
who appears to have been the victim of
misplaced confidence. He has returned
the winnings, and an effort will now
be made to find the parties who sold
the PAGER as green horse more than a
year ago.
Last year the horse raced ten times
and won brackets in four events, and
this season he was turned over to Da-
Wis to race. On the showing he made
last season it would not be readily sup
posed that he was masquerading, for
many green PAGER made a better
showing than this ringer. 1t is to be
hoped that the officials of the National
Trotting association will be able to
speedily run down all people connected
with the fraud. Evidently Davis had
got the horse back to his old form, and
it is fortunate that the discovery was
made so early in the season. On the
showing he made at Troy it is evident
that he would have earned considera-
BILE amount Of money out of his class
this year.
Just how much was lost on the horse
last year may never be known, but it
lis probable that those who knew that
the horse had record of better than
2:10 risked considerable amounts Of
money that he could beat the green
horses he had to race against. This
will serve as another of the many in
stances of the utter folly of trying to
secure money illegitimately on the turf.

USE Nearly thirty years ago, or, to be
more precise. in 1875, Thayer, the Har-

the plan of the fencer's mask, anC n a

the ball as it sped over the plate. The
catcher would turn his head to the right
or left trifie so that if the ball passed
his hands it would not land full in his
face. Not every catcher, however, was
able to do this trick with ease and
grace When the mask was tried by
Snyder and found to be really what the
catcher had long needed of course the
other teams took it up, and it became
a recognized addition to the outht OF
every club.
To Hartford, Conn.,, belongs the cred

protector had not been dreamed OF
