Keeping Hammer Down.

while I was in the pump business
in Indiana" said the man with the
two watch chains. 'I used to drive all
over the country among the farmers.
One day I stopped at a farm house
where they drew water from the well
by means of nail driven into a pole.
The farmer told me he had been using
that pole for twenty-one years, and
when I pointed out the inconvenience
of it. and told him how cheaply I
would let him have a pump, he re-
piled:
=" Hammer, my old woman. a1lus
draws the water. and if got pump
with a blue handle for her she'd feel
SO mighty stuck up over it that within
two weeks she'd want to turn me out

GLAD TO GET DoRNER.
Cincinnati Welcomes This Pitcher,
While Columbus Mourns.

Cincinnati, Aug. 26.-Just about the
time the Giants got through pounding
the life out of Charley Chech, who
was the star of the American associa-
ton twirlers last year, President Herr
mann. of the Cincinnati club, closed
a deal with the Columbus manage
ment for Pitcher Gus Dorner, who now
holds down the same honors in the
American association that Chech did
last year. OF course that is only a
coincidence in connection with the
deal for the man, who is said to be the
pitching wonder of the season. Dor
ner will join the team as 500 mas the
Reds get through with their present
tour
Dorner is a spit ball artist of more
or less fame and has won "a out of 80
games pitched for Columbus this sea-
son. In fact. it was mostly due to
Dorner'S success in the box that the
Senators now lead in the A. A. race
with 81 games won. He is right
good care of himself. President
Herman announced last night that
the deal had been off1cIaIiy closed and
the player will surely report to the
Reds next month.

Columbus, o, Aug. 26.-President
Thomas Bryce of the Columbus Base
ball club, gave out last evening that
arrangements had been closed where
by Gus Dorner, the Columbus star
pitcher, vii go to Cincinnati next sea-
son. The deal was made with Presi-
dent Garry Hermann of the Cincfn-
natl team, but the price paid Is not
being made public.
Dorner is by far the best pitcher,
from the standpoint of reliability, the
Columbus team has. and he Is the IDOL

Oklahoma City was entitled to win be-
cause the boys played rings around
the Wichita Jobbers. Root pitched
the greatest game of his life and had
the visitors beaten four to two but
for rotten decisions by Chic. He was
SO rotten that during the second game
Benais, for Wichita, tried to knock his
head off and would have succeeded
had it not been for interference.
Bemis was fined S25 and ordered OFF
the grounds. Bemis showed himself to
be big coward for the assault and
some one should have smashed him
good and hard. The umpire had the
sympathy of the crowd in the Ben1is
assault, but it would not have been SO
bad had Jack Root taken smash at
him in the first game.
A new man by the name of Kerran,
an infielder, drifted into Joplin the

a comprehensive, effective plan for a
water supply. Every action Council-
maa HarteHstein has taken ia his couR-
cilmanic work has been for the benefit
OF the city; his record is. clean; and in
the negotiations for the agreement with
the power company which made posi-
bic the acquisition. of the Big Cotton
wood water. he had the courage to
stand out for the best possible terms,
and then vote for the agreement be
cause he knew it was an advantageous
zeal for the city.
To Mr.. Hartenstein, more than to any
other one man, was due the concession
by which the company granted a Accent
street car fare. a concession which
means a saving of thousands Of
dollars annually to the people OF
the city, a boon especially 10
those who count their earnings
by dollars instead of by hundreds. He
was also instrumental with others in
securing a reduction in lighting rates.

been assalled and abused, and his in
tegrity questioned by ours who had not
the courage to make openly the charges
they make by innuendo.
The animus Of these attacks is trans
parent enough to be seen by every one
who knows their source. Hartenstein's
chief offense has been a willingness to
further the water supply plans, which
his enemies wished TO defeat; he has
supported the Democratic admmistra-
ton which these same obstructionists
hate and have tried 10 handicap; he
has worked for the progress of the city.

every possible way. In word, Mr..
Hartenstein is for a greater Salt Lake,
and is, therefore, an object of attack
by the men who have been predicting
retrogression and ruin for the city. and
attempting to make their predictions
come true.

telligence and temper of the voters in
the Fourth precinct. Councilman Har-
tenstein will be returned to the council
