Used Five Pitchers.

There was nothing brilliant in the
way Of fielding in the game. but there
was plenty OF hitting. and no less than
five pitchers performed during the aft
ernoon. Jack Townsend started off for
the Nationals. but he was wild, and
Stahl made a timely change in sending
in Jacobsen. The soUthfielder was none
too steady. but he was allowed 70 re
main on the mound until MI went in TO
bat tor him in the eighth. Bill Wolfe
tWirled the last session. and succeeded
in keeping the visitors from scoring, al
though the first man 10 face him raped
out double
Owen was chosen by 2. Jones TO break
the winning streak OF the Nationals. but
he only lasted part Of the first inning
when y Al,rock was brought forwa, d.
The latter pitched good ball until the
eighth. when the fusillade cost him his
game.
Danny Green started things with d
double in the first. went 20 third on

Wants Aid for Chairs.

l desire to take this means of
thanking the people Of this city for
their kindness shown to me since
coming here. The Salvation Army
is an organization that has won the
confluence of the wide world, and i
am DESTROYS of retaining the good will
Of the people of this city. which has
been shown in many ways to me
since coming here, and especially at
the opening of the new hall on last
Sunday evening, when 50 many at
tended. The only thing that marred
the enjoyment Of so many on that oc-
casion was The lack of seats. We
could use in the new hall about 1875
chairs. These would cost 60 cents
each, and l think that there is many
a person in this city who would be
glad to make the army a present Of
a chair, so that when you come you
will have "a place. to sit down. II
there are any such, that would care
to do so, and would send the 6Ui
cents to Captain Slower he would see
that a chair was bought, and would
appreciate the same, Please send
your name and address with the
money.

HIDES BETTER PRICE
to Farmers to Dispose of
Cattle Hides Rather Than
Sen Beef.

Last fall we called our readers at
tention to the great disparity I've
tween the price of hides and that of
catlle. AS the difference is even
greater this year, We again call our
readers attention to the subject.
BY looking owe the market reports
of the various Wholesale Strengthening
cenlers, we observe that the value of
common cattle called grass fed COWS
is So to S2.75 per hundred pounds,
at average of about pa cents per
pound, which will net the shipper
after..frieght is paid about 2 cents
per pound. Extra corn fed steers
are valued at S5 to So: dressed veal
calf, 1915 to Sc. 25. according to
quality and condition. Now compare
these prices with the prices of their
hides and skins. We observe in the
late circular issued by the North
western Hide & Fur Co., Minneap-
oils, MInn /, that ordinary COW hides
(termed green hides) meaning raw
hides as they come Off the animal and
marketed either in a green or frozen
condition, are bringing III cent
per pound for No: ]; loA cents for
No. .; all pass as No. j # not cut
With holes or jill Shaped, or otherwise
damaged. Veal calf Skins bring ..l3
cents; veal kip. IL cents. Green salt
~ -A&-
cured hides or calfsskins:TF6ring. j
cent per pound more. AS these are
net cash prices and as the freight
will range from % cents to Is cents
per hunrded pounds, according to
distance from 100 to 800 miles (the
average would be about 4 cent per
pound), the average raw COW hide
would net the shippernn9A cents Go
|l1A cents per pound according TO
quality. Veal calf skins give a net
profit of l2L cents; veal kip, liz
cents; other skins in proportion. OF
about five times the price per pound
that cattle on foot will bring at
home or by shipping.
1t is very evident that at present
extreme high prices of hides and
skins, the highest the world ever
saw, and the price of cattle about as
low as it ever was, that it would be
far better to kill common cattle and
eat or sell the beef at home, and ship
the hides and tallow to market, as
the hide and tallow will bring about
half as much as the entire animal
would.
While there is some difficulty about
shipping live stock, there is none in
shipping hides. All there is to do is
to address a tag aud tie it to the
hide ana send it by freight. Or
course it is likely that with the ad-
vent of cold freezing weather, hides
! will be some lower owing to the
great increased receipts, but if they
decline ] cent per pound they will
still be over four times as high as
cattle.

FAIR AND BAZAAR
1t Opened Tuesday Evening in the
City Hall With a Fine supper
and a Concert.

The preparations that have been
going for svereal weeks for the
Catholic bazaar. which is being man
aged by the ladies Of the church,
were all finished Tuesday and every
thing was in readiness for the open
ing in the evening. Supper was
served in one of the rooms in the
basement of the building and for
nearly three hours the tables were
filled with patrons. The supper that
was served was OF the kind which
appealed in a most tempting man
ner, and 1T was served With alacri-
ty-and there vas no stinting in fill
ing up the plates. The patronage
the ladies received was full worthy
of the supper and it has been a long
time since we have attended any
thing that was gotten up SO nicely.
In the evening the festivities were
started upstairs in the auditorium,
beginning with a concert program.
The audience which had gathered at
the hall for the BEGINNING Of the fair
was very large, and all seemed bent
on having a good and joyful time.
While the program was short, there
being but five nGmbers. it was a

Mitchell Gas Co. Assumed Control
of the Electric Light Plant
This Morning.

G. c. King. Of Scotland, was in the
city yesterday and today and arr
ranged for the taking over OF the.
electric light plant. which was pur-
chased by the Mitchell Gas company
some four or five months ago. Mr..
King stated that he paid over the
money to J. b. Mikesell and received
the deeds to the plant.
Mr.. King said the company has
been in practical control of the plant
since Oct. i, but waited until this
time for the completion Of the deeds
TO the property.
1t was suggested to Mr.. King that
shutting the plant down at midnight
often disconnected public gatherings
and that it would be a good idea to
run lights until ] O'Clock. Mr.. KING
said he would do this: That at any
time it was desirable on the pant Of
any gathering to have the lights run
later than IL O'clock that a request
be made and the same will be con-
formed with and no arbitrary charge
will be made for the same.
The company will commence the
erection Of coal sheds on their
grounds which will contain 100 tons
of coal in order to avoid being short
