DEATTHEwsoN's GREAT WORK.
Comparison of Other No Run. No
Hit Games.

Chicago, June 16.-The News says:
Few of the spectators at the Cub
Giants ball game Tuesday realized that
they were watching a game that has
seldom been eQualed in the history of
baseball and ecelfed only once in point
of scientific excellence. So far this
year no pitcher has approached the
work of Christy MatheWson. Last
year Cy Young of the Boston Amer
lean league team established q record
that will never be excelled in pitching
nine innings without allowing a hit, a
base on balls or having a batter reach
first.
Mathewson pitched as well as
Young did in the worlds record con-
test, as he did not allow a hit or give
a base. But two Cubs reached first on
errors of the inffeld that Mathewson
was not responsible for. So, far as
a pitchers ability goes, Mathewson
tied the worlds championship record
in keeping the Cubs from making a
hit for the nine innings and refusing
to pass a batter to first.
Remarkable as was the work Of the
Giant pitcher little less wonderful was
the work of Brown for the Cubs for
was made off him for that distance and
only two bases on balls did he ISSUE
"Matty'' was forced to pitch perfect
ball to win.
Mathewson's great victory is the
forty-second game recorded in the an
nails of baseball in which q pitcher de-
feated the opposing team without per-
hitting it to score a run or register a
base hit.

Plant Injured.

salina, June 1s.-The heaviest rain
storm OF the summer visited central
Kansas late last evening. No rain had
fallen for nearly two weeks, and every
thing was dry as finder. The storm
was preceded by a heavy wind storm
that did some damage to 0uthouses and
trees in town. Telephone wires were
damaged to such an extent that It was
almost impossible to get any word
from other towns, but it is known that
heavy rains prevailed throughout this
part of the state. Not much damage
was done by the wind.
The amount Of rainfall, by the govern
ment rain gauge, was 2.55 inches in less
than an hour. The streets were flooded
and in some instances damage was done
from flooded cellars. The rain began
falling at o'clock, and before z the
worst of it was over.
The greatest damage reported is from
the electric light company's plant, where
the dynamo was burned out. This win
cause considerable money damage. The
company has a second dynamo and
there is no difficulty about the current.
1t is feared wheat has been damaged
some, as it is just ready for harvest

CONCRETE TANK EXPERIMENT.
Santa Fe Is Building Cement Tank
Instead of Steel at lola.

lola, Kas., June 1e-The Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad company
may erect a concrete tank at this
place instead of a steel tank as was
first contemplated. The work of pre-
pairing the plans for the steel structure
has been suspended pending the re-
eeipt of plans and figures from the
Hunt Engineering company Of this
city in regard to the erection of a con-
crete tank.
The Hunt Engineering company this
morning received a letter from the en-
cheering department of the Santa Fe
saying that the company would be
glad to receive figures on the con-
struction of a concrete tank here.
They had intended erecting a steel
tank 4 feet high from the ground
and "a feet in diameter.
Should the road decide to erect a
concrete tank, it will, so far as is
known, be the first one built in the
United States. Railroads in Germany
and France are constructing all of
their tanks of this material, but so far
as known none have been erected
here.

Women for Station Agents.

Chicago, June 16.-Women are
rapidly supplanting men as station
road officials. The reason for this is
found in the fact that women are
proving more efficient. The Lake Erie
& Western seems to be the leader in
the movement. All of the women are
expert telegraphers. They receive and
send train orders and handle all the
telegraph business at the stations at
which they are employed. They sell
tickets, receive and dispatch freight,
handle the express business and carry
the mail to and from the post Office.
The women agents are paid on an
average of $50 a month.
