Graniteville Correspondent on Game.

Both teams played good ball, though
several errors were made on account Of
the two roads that pass through the
grounds. The features Of the game
were Ross two throws from deep center
field to home plate, shuttings off two
scores, and Fraser's and Robertson's
sensational catches of hot liners.
Fraser and Comiskey both pitched
good ball with honors about even, Fras-
er striking out eight men and allowing
eight hits, while Comiskey struck out
seven men and allowed five hits.

With Game, Score Of I to 6.

An extremely exciting game of ball
was played at the Gospel Village
grounds Saturday afternoon, when the
Woodmen team from GraniteviIle took
d contest from the Washington street
terrors. The latter team had the game
einched by q score of six to three in
the fifth inning, when the GranitevilIe
team began to walk up. They continued
to walk and finally walked away with
the game. They made two scores in the
sixth inning, and came within one Of
tying. The Washington streets held
them safe during the next two innings,
but the Waterloo for the home team

The Late.. Frog story.

From Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania.
comes the following: Mrs. Bridget
Mangan of Minnoka. near here, has
coughed up two frogs and is enjoying
relief after an illness Of several weeks.
Physicians are puzzled by her case.
Early in the spring she was attacked
by severe pains in the stomach which
would not yield to any treatment. Six
days ago this pain was succeeded by
steady and overpowering thirst. DR..
Haggerty, in the hope of aiding her,
gave her an emetic and to his surprise
she was relieved of small frog. Yes
terday the thirst began again. He gave
her another emetic and this time a
frog four inches long was evicted. She
has not had pain since.
Dr. Haggerty believes she swallowed
the frogs in drinking water when they
were tiny tadpoles. He will send the
frogs to the New York Medical Uni
versity.

Grand Canon Aerial rramway.

The gigantic gorge OF the Grand
canon of the Colorado is soon to be
spanned at its widest point by an
aerial tramway which will carry pas
sengers at height Of 5000 feet from
the bottom of the Bright Angel trail
to the top of Buckskin plateau.
From this eminence the Coconino
country, Arizona. may be seen plainly,
with California and Nevada to the
westward, Utah on the north and
Colorado and New Mexico away to the
east.
OF all the expeditions which have
been made to the Grand canon from
the very bottom of the gorge to the top
OF Buckskin or Kaiben plateau, reached
by circuitous twelve-mile trail, none
has disclosed the wonders OF scenery
which q ride on the aerial will offer.
BY the anchoring of a cable some 500
feet in length to the wall of rock on
either side of the gorge on which will
be operated cage or car and the fur
ther improvement of the trail on the
north side Of the huge crevice it is
proposed to transfer tourists from the
bottom of the Bright Angel trail to the
top OF the plateau. To build this aerial
tramway company has just been in
corporated at Kanab, Utah.
From the height which tourists will
attain one may locate by means Of
powerful glass the various cities Of
southern California Much of the Nor
mon state could be seen In this way,
while the dry desert air of Arizona
would permit splendid long distance
views of that territory.
Surveys and an estimate place the
cost at about 100000 In connection
with the establishment of the aerial
tramway the company and southern
Utahans generally are working to have
large portion of country about Buck
skin mountains set aside for ma
tional park or reserve.

HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
EVENTS OF A WEEK THROUGH.
OUT THE STATE.
Assessed Valuation Of Railroad Prop.
erty Increased Over Two Million
Dollars and That Of Farm
Land Reduced.


The executive council have complet-
ed the assessment of corporation prop
erty In Iowa. While the actual as
sessed valuation Of railroad property
was increased $2,637 400, as compared
with 1903, the farm lands of the state
have been reduced $52.415,36 Had
the relative valuation of these two
classes Of property in 1908 been main
tanned this year, the council would
have been compelled to decrease rail.
road assessments $3,600,000. The Rock
Island assessment was reduced $780,
625, and the other chief lines. in the
state were increased in the following
taxable Valuations: Burlington, $121,-
571; Great Western, $294.177; Mil
waukee, $244,Os3; Northwestern, $780,
80. The interurban assessment was
increased from $305,722 to $428,763.
Express companies assessments were
lightly reduced, the Adams, Wells
Fargo, Great Northern and United
States being reduced 81 per mile to
$40. The American and Pacific were
left at the former figures of $45 and
$50 respectively. The adjustment
largely increases the tax burden of the
railroads. The average value OF the
farm land is reduced from $42.0s in
1903 to $40.24 this year. or $1.s4 per
acre. The increase Of the railroad as
sessment is believed to be the direct
result Of Governor A. B. Cummins'
firm stand in favor of assessing the
roads upon their earning capacity and
from this standpoint he openly de-
clared the assessments as a general
rule should be raised.

"YeIloW journalism. "

Like "Bryanarchy" and some other
fad phrases coined the past decade by
would-be respectable semi-onicial
sheets, "yellow journalism" has lost
its force as a defense of high-toned
thieves, both in the realms of politics
and business. To the SO called yellow
journals is due the Inauguration OF
that war on sniveling hypocrisy in
high places. Now the magazines are
saying what the yellow journal didn't
dare to say few years ago. Men no
longer deny that graft is the mode In
nearly every successful business, and
the conservative journals that have
hummed the tune of yellow Journal
ISM for decade are endeavoring to
explain there is no more graft, but
more exposure OF graft than former
~. That may ease the conscience Of
those fellows who failed to do their
duty in exposing rottenness, but 1T
will not convince the public of their
claim to confidence. The spirit Of
graft is still here and the yellow
journals are more needed than ever

As to the Presidency.

There Is no easier performance than
"naming" or mentioning" presidential
candidates three years in advance of
the national conventions. It's harm
less recreation, sometimes an amusing
one Ever since the last Republican
national convention, especially since
the presidents pronunciamento the
night Of the election declaring positive
ly that he would not again be candi-
date, divers persons have been exploit
Ing themselves or have been exploited
by their friends as candidates for the
Republican nomination. Messrs. Taft,
Foraker, Shaw, Root, Fairbanks, Can
non and Cortelyou have all been dis
cussed as eagerly as though the con-
vention would meet next year instead
Of three years hence. There are others
who have been mentioned sporadically,
but those whose names appear above
have bean most In the public eye.
Democratic boomers and Warwicks
were not In the field so early as their
Republican rivals, but this hot
weather appears to have set all their
tongues a-wagging.
OF course, 1t is generally assumed
that Colonel Bryan wants the nominal

tanned, he has given no sign as to his
desires in that regard. It Is safe to

could have the nomination for the ask
