winnin the game by score of 2
tor.
Schmid pitched the first five in
nings, when his arm gave out.
Mccartney then occupied the box
for one inning, Arnold furnishing
the game.
Schmid was the chief participant
IN the feature of the game, taking
hot liner off the bat and catching
a runner off third before any one
knew where the bail was. Lewis
also made a sensational catch of a
foul fly, making q sprint of about
one hundred yards IN order to take
it into camp. The outfieid play ed
an errorless game, had plenty to
do and let nothing escape them.

fine game, and there was a very
large attendance, the sugar beet

The first test in the locomotive
laboratory in the Worlds FaiI

test was Of one OF the Pennsylva.

Of the engine sped around at
lightning pace. The cab had III.
vibratory motion OF machine on
the rails, and yet the engine did
not move, no smoke rolled from
the stack and no steam was wasted
from the ,cy linders.
The experiment was the first Of
its kind in the United States
The apparatus. made by the rail
road company already named cost
more than 5000, 900. Results are
absolutely accurate.

stack Is placed under a hood which
mounts up into the steel work Of

pipes are connected with pipes
leading from the building. The
coal is brought to the engine by .
hosting device. The wheels on
which the locomotive wheels rest
are connected with hydraulic
valves, giving restraining effect
or developing what the machinist
in charge calls the "pull." The
twist Of q wrist on one Of the
valves will add four loaded box
cars to the load the engine is sup

A N1TRo-GLYcERINE STORY.
The Close Call of Spectators and
Shooter at a Lima Well.

Lima O., May 9.-0ne of the
remarkable accidents recorded in
the history of the Ohio fields, in
which a hundred witnesses mirac-
ulously escaped death, occurred
on the Snyder farm, two miles
from Ohio City. The well is To-
Gated in wildcat territory, and
some Of the leading citizens of the
township had gathered to see the
shot. The well is owned by Mes
ser & company, and had continued
to flow since Friday. Frank
Winks, of the Producers Explo-
sive company, was handling the
shot and had safely lowered one
shell containing twenty quarts,
and was lowering the second,
when he heard a rumbling. He
knew the well would flow again,
and starting on a dead run, warn
ed the spectators, who fed. When
the excited crowd was 300 yards
distant a terrific report Frustrated
them to the ground The second
shell had been caught by the gas
and dashed against the roof of the
derrick, instantly exploding the
remaining $50 quarts in the shoot
er's wagon. Flames followed, to-
tally consuming the derrick, tools
and buildings, while the wagon
and horse attached were blown
into million pieces. The loss
will reach $1,000.

Early in the spring my wife and
I were taken with diarrhoea and

called a physician who prescribed
for us, but his medicines failed to
give any relief. A friend who
had a bottle Of Chamber

procured a bottle and before u.s.

Trifies with Tobacco. Bill.

The representatives Of the peo-
pie in Congress are supposed to be
legislating for the wants Of their
constituents, but because some OF
his associates did not agree with
Mr.. Payne me threatened to shut
up shop and go home. The pluck
of the Republican members has
certainly greatly deteriorated, or
they would resist the do nothing
policy when there is so much leg
islation that is demanded. Mr..
Tawney's bill, the matter that
caused the trouble, was to prevent
tobacco manufacturers from put
ting prize coupons into packages
of cigarettes. 1t is said to be in
the interest Of the Tobacco trust,
and the fact that some Of the Re
publican members of the commit
tee voted with the Democrats and
defeated it, led to this outburst
of Chairman Payne's. When a
trust cannot be accommodated the
Republican leaders appear to
think it is time to quit doing bust
ness. The voters may take a diff
ferent view of it. when they cast
their ballots next fall. We don t
approve of prize packages and
still less of cigarettes, which are
the abomination of the age, but II
the Tobacco trust opposed the bill
it may be depended upon that it
was not on moral or sanitary
grounds.

State of West Virginia, County
of Tyler, to-wit:
Before me, Lynn Kirkland, a
notary public in for said county,
personally appeared G. F. Mercer,
who, being by me first sworn, de-
poses and says
That the report in circulation
to the effect that the said c. F.
Mercer was persuaded to enter
the contest for the Republican
nomination for Sheriff of said
county at the instance and request
of DR.. E. B. Conway, a candi-
date for said nomination, for the
purpose of weakening the eandi-
dacy of H. B. Shriver, who with
said affiant are the candidates
from Lincoln district in said coun-
ty for said nomination, is utterly
false and untrue; that he, the said
c. f. Mercer, became a candidate
for said nomination solely from
personal considerations, and that
no other influences are attending
his candiadcy. Further, that the
report that he, the said c. F. Mer-
Ger, is at present engaged in the
liquor business is likewise wholly
unfounded and untrue; that the
bar in connection with his hotel
in Sistersville in said county is
conducted separate and apart
from his proprietorship in said
hotel. G. +. MERCER.

KNOCKED OUT
IN 48 SECONDS
OyerdOrf Went Down to Defeat
By a Right Drive on
the Chin

In just forty-eight seconds Jack Ov-
erdorf was beaten to the bad by Jack
Reilly last night at the opera house
when he went, down To defeat in the
first round in what was to have been a
twenty round bout. A left punch in
jaw and a right sledge hammer swing
on the chin did the work and the short
est fistic battle ever held in Lewiston
is recorded. Little Jack Reilly demon
strated that when in condition and up
10 weight that he is a whirlwind and
able to stand up against the best of
them. He started out from the tap of
the gong to do up his opponent and
just before going in the ring told his
friends that he would put Overdorf to
sleep in the first round
The largest crowd that ever attended
prize fight in the city were at the
opera house to witness this one. The
ringside was crowded to the ropes with
the best sports in town and a few
from the outside and good natured
banterng was in evidence. Overdorf
did not appear in the opera house un-
til $50 and was the signal from shout
from his followers. Reilly also received
welcome reception. Both men APP
peared in the ring with their trainers
and seconds at 9:45 and We're intro
duced. There was much dickering over

ris, champion foot racer Of the world.
was chosen finally to act Both men
got up at the tap Of the gong and adj
vanced rather cautiously. Reilly had
his jaws set and Immediately let drive
with his left on Overdorfs jaw fol-
lowing up with a right swing on the
chin which was the fatal blow. Over
dorf was then forced to the ropes in
his corner and to protect himself placed
his hands over his face while Reilly
rained blows on his body and stomach
Overdorf revived for second and
broke out striking bl,ndly at Reilly's
face and head but a few more jolts on
the wind and ne went down. The
count began and Overdorf rolled over
several times and then made feeble
effort to regain his feet but was unable
to do so before the count was out He
was dragged from his position to his
corner and it was fifteen minutes be-
fore he sufficiently revived to be taken
to his room.

THIS WEEK
Game Been Arranged for Sunday
Between Lewiston and
Culdesac Teams

Interest in the baseball field has not
died out The management of the local
team is now endeavoring to close
games with the university teams for
Friday and Saturday. A game has al
ready been arranged for between the

desac team will be Ryan and Overdorf.
The local battery has not yet been

Today the game between the Lewis
ton high school team and the univer-
sity team is being played at the ball

the university team are in good condi-
ton and have had considerable prac-
tice.
The second team of the Lewiston
High school have arranged for a game
ut Cotton for Saturday in which they
will meet the team of that town. An
effort was being made today by the
High school boys to bring the W. A. c.

track meet but the Pullman crowd de-
clined to come unless a guarantee OF
expenses was made. During the week
many athletic events are scheduled be-
tween the Normal, University and High
school teams.
