SATURDAYS GAME WAS INTER
4 EsTlNG But THE CRAY
BOYS WERE OUTcLAsSED.
THINKS SHE is
>HARD TO WHIP, But OUR
BOYS RAN AROUND THElR
PITCHER SEVENTEEN
TIMES.

SATURDAYS game With Weston was
like taking candy from SICK chlld.
While the score was very slop-S1ded,
yet the game was interesting on ace
count of the heavy batting done8py
rho locals. Weston was woeiully
weak in every department, but that
does not lessen the brilliancy of
Laing's performance on the rubber,
that husky<lad striking out eleven
men, giving nary a free pass, p1fch-
ing himself out Of several bad holes,
and while he has been pltted against
weaker teams as a rule, yet ne mas
demonstrated that he has something
on any pitcher seen on local grounds
this year. 1t was simply case OF
masterful- twirling and not weston
hard luck story. They couldn't get
outside of that impreSnable lnheld,
the only outfelder having anything
70 do being Gibbs, who had three
chances. two of which he accepted.
Rrvson was the star artilleryman OF
the enga gements, having three hits
for total of seven bases, a s1nsie
double and home run.
Stllwell did well with the willow,
besides playing that usual fast snap
DIV game at second. The Captain had
two clean hits, one a double.
Mcdonald, who possesses some
thing essential to ball player, name
". cool, steady head on young shout
ders, just did what he always does,
played the game to the best OF his
ability all the while, and that best
of his has whole los Of fast ones
whipped And his work on bases
was revelation to lot OF people.
He pilfered three.
On account of Helms injury, vas
binder. the new pitcher, was sent to
third and young Red Watkins was
sent to right field. where he had moth
ing to do however. Fasblnder
PLAYED the bag in good shape and MT
the ball some even if the score only
gives him credit for one clean one.
He smashed one to the left labeled
for four cushions. but it blew few
feet foul.
Gibbs was the most unfortunate
man in the game, two of his drives
falling sGuarely into waiting NIT,
besides turning his ankle slightly
when Just under high fly.
Wayman had nothing to do IN the
field. but he hit nicely. getting sing
lie and triple.

TRIALS OF DIPLOMATS.
They Were Many In the Early Days
of American History.

There exists 4 popular tendency 10

sbut- however much opinions may DIT
fer on this point, there can be no DOUBT
that the office of an American dlplo-
matist in the days of the Revolution
was no holiday pastime.

Journey to his post was beset Win
perils graver than those OF the eie-

An I.o1ated Church.

In the valley of Westdalc Head, in
Cumberland, England, a strange little
church nestles amid a group OF the
highest of England's mountains. 1t IS
over 400 years old and has two WIN
dows, and the pulpit is lighted by
pane Of glass having been inserted IN
hole in the roof above 1t. There are
only eight pews, OF which seldom more
than two are used. The little Dell,
hanging loose in the open belfry, may
on stormy nights be heard minghng

8oiIR POSITION ON DAWSON, TIE
MoRGANToWN POST
AND TAX REFORM.

sBrotfle Powell, of the West Virgin
ian. seems much hurt because the
POST sclassesst that paper as a Ieter
sspa per-, and declares that on the con-
trary it has opposed both Teter and
Dawson We are pleased to make the
correction as we want to do no in
Justice to the West yirginian. but it
was ID ardly necessary in making de-
NAL for that paper to display SO much
feeling The Post is for tax reform
Il and for Dawson as a true tax REFORM
er, and tits pleased to know that the
peopIe everywhere agree with 1T, and
wi nominate and elect Mr.. Dawson.
and pleased tonote that the West Vlr-
gilman will support and help elect
h I'M although just now it advocates
the throwing overheard OF both Daw-
3 son and Teter and the entering of
\ ark horse The convention will
throw overheard one candidate, but
his name will not be Dawson, and 1t
Z VIII not name Ozark horse-'-Mor-
gantoWns Post
We do not remember that the west
SVirgfnian displayed so much feel
ssin but we do rem ember that we
hoped to be plain enough to make the
Post understand that we did not
4 wish :to5 be placed in a false position.
II Having never at any time nor in any
manner shown a preference for Mr..
TeIer for governor, the Post, in call
1. us Teter man." exhibited
4 ~ what seemed to us a spirit of unfair
ness and we accordingly mildly re-
scented it.. To be "a Teter man, IN
the estimation of the Post, is to be
against tax reform. and to be a Daw-
son man is to be in favor of tax re-
form # In denominating US the former
tie Post can see that it did US a great
a Injustice, and we are glad, indeed,
that in is remarks above it makes the
an1ende honorable. Being against
both Teter and Dawson, and for the
best of reasons, desiring the success
of our party and the continuation OF
prosperous times under its benefcent
policies believing that neither is
available for the governorship by rea'
son of the bitter feeling engendered
i BY the unfortunate and uncalled for
agitation OF the tax question, we
have insisted on the entering of
ark horse deeming this TO be the
best means of escape from an embar
raising not to say dangerous posi-
ssztion.
The first thing TO do, as we see it.
to- elect a Republican governor
& and Republican Legislature and then
give attention to tax reform. There
\ will never be any such reform unless
the Republicans inaugurate it, fo1
nothing of the kind can be expected
from the Democrats since they were
in power for twenty odd years and ac
complished nothing in that direction
While we have all along considered
Sit Sunwise to discuss the tax question
believing that it should not have beer
II ma de a party issue, yet we will take
Succession to say that we think we are
us good tax reformer as either Mr.
.asaWson or the editor OF the Morgan
