STRAY BALLS.
The Montpelier team will probably
play in Pocatello on the 18th
Mr.. Gaylord resigned" as manager
Of the Pocatello team last Monday night.
The Montpelier team has about closed
arrangements to play at Rock Springs
July 3 and 4.
The attendance Sunday was very
good, but not as large as it was at the
Decoration day game
The diamond has been scraped with
the county road grader and it will be in
tip-top shape for Sundays game.
The rocatello boys seem to think that
our<rooters gave it to them little too
strong, but we guess the Gate Cityites
got as good treatment here as our boys
did when in Pocatello last April.
Manager Gaylord entered some vigor-
GUS kicks against three or four of Um.
pire sweet's 8 decisions, but they didn't
do him any good. With one exception,
Pocatello had no kick coming on the
decisions.
The Kemmerer team will play here
Sunday sand Manager Lynch assures us
that he has strong aggregation of
ball tossers. He also writes that quite
q number Of rooters will accompany
them. The game will not be called un-
til $3.50
Our rooters got SO enthusiastic in the
eighth inning that number of them
ran clear into the diamond at one time.
That was clearly in violation of base
ball etiquette" but>it won't happen
again as net wire fence has been
placed along the coachers line.

crossed the home plate. He scored
again during the game and the other
scores were made by AL. Bresee,
Humerick, Thlel and Cayou.
Following was the lineup of the

That's the Score by which Mont.

Sunday.

Ouu0dy.
The Pocatello base bail team came
to Montpelier last Sunday morning
bubbllng over with confidence of
having an easy game, but before the
game was half through tnat conf
dence was '1smashed into smith
Greens" and when the game closed
with the score standing 6 to in
favor of Montpelier, the Gate City
lads were knocked almost speech
less. In mournful tones they ad-
mlt:ed their defeat but claimed that
the score should have been only to
2. Up to the close of the seventh
inning the game was pretty one,
with only two or three errors on
either side and the score standing Q
to 2. When Montpelier went to bat
in the eighth, the 'sfire works. be-
gan. Fredell. who was in the box
for the visitors, showed signs of
weakness, and by good work on the
part of the Montpelier ssroorers'
they soon had him up in the air.
With bases full and no one out. and
the rooters roofing to beat the band,
made the situation a decidedly ex-
citing one. A wild throw to third
by Pitcher Fredell, added two more
tallles to Montpelier's score. Be-
fore the inning closed two more of
the home lads had crossed the
rubber and the score stood to 2.
The visitors faced the music for the
last time with the hope of evening
up the score, but their efforts were
short lived and in almost as short a
time as 1t takes to write it their
third and last man was out. When
this happened how the crowd did
shout. 1t is said that some of the
ladies were so excited that they
joined with the men In throwing up
their hats. We can't vouch for this.
but we do know that some of them
did the war whoop act to perfection.
Spongberg pitched a splendid
game. He famed out seven men,
only gave two bases on balls and
the visitors got but five hits off him.
Fredell let one man walk, famed
out four and ten strikes were re-
corded against him.

But little interest was manifested
at the school election last Monday,
there beng only 90 votes cast in the
lower district and 33 in the upper
district. This shows woeful lack
of interest IN school affairs ON the
part of our citizens, but inasmuch
as good men were elected in both
districts, the people have no kick
coming.
In the lower district all but two
Of the votes were cast for Henry
Douglas and IN the upper district 80
of the 33 votes were cast for Jos.

LII both districts special school
tax of ten mills was voted.
The old trustees of the lower.dis-
trlct met Monday night, completed
what business there was before
them and adjourned sine die.
Trustee.elect Douglas was then
sworn in and the new board organ
lied by re-electing HI. Carrick,
chairman and G. II. Toomer clerk.
Tne following corps of teachers
were elected for next year:
Fred S. Willis, principal.
Mrs. w. Blaine. -
Miss South Williams,
Miss Anna Hoggsette.
After carefully considering the
several applications for the prin.
cipalship, the board concluded that
Mr.. Willis was the best man from
the recommendations submitted.
He IS graduate of the Iowa State
Normal school and has had twelve
years experience as teacher, six
years of which he was principal of
one of the schools of Kearney, Neb.
He submitted splendid recon-
mendatlon from the President of the
Nebraska state university. The
salary of the principal was left the
same as IN the past--$1OO per
month.
The reelection of Mrs. Blaine
and Miss Williams was an endorse
ment of their excellent work in the
past.
Miss Hoggsette Is a Wahoo. Neb..
lady, but taught for five consecutive
gears in the Pocatello schools. Her
recommendations submitted from
the county superintendent of Ban
mock county, the superintendent of
the Pocatello schools and the super
intendent of her home county in
Nebraska were of high order.
The school will open the first
Monday in September.

DOING A GOOD WORK.
State Federation of Women's Clubs
Securing Data for a History
of the State.

The Idaho State Federation of
Women's Clubs has undertaken the
task of collecting authentic data re.
garding the early history of the
state and arranging it for rreserva-
tion with the hope that some one
will make use of the matter thus OBJ
tanned by compiling it and having
published history of the early days
IN Idaho This is a most laudable
step and one that should have been
taken some years ago, for within
the last two years score or more
of men have gone to their final rest
who helped to s.blaze the trail" in
Idaho in the early COS and who
could have furnished much authentic
and valuable information for his
tory of the state. However, a suf-
ficient amount of data can yet be
obtained from the surviving pioneers
to make large volume of interest
ing history, but the ladies to whom
have been assigned the task of
collecting this data should push the
work with vigor, for there is not
week, nor scarcely a day passes but
what some pioneer of Idaho crosses
the Great Divide from whence no
traveller ever returns, and with each
one that passes away there is forever
lost "reminiscences that would help
to make the history both interesting
and authentic.
Mrs. G. A. Hoover of this city
has been appointed member of the
Historical committee, as represent
ative from the Gem of the Mountain
Club. In letter informing Mrs.
Hoover of her appointment, Mrs.
d. w. Standrod, president of the
State Federation, said: 81 sincerely
hope that you will serve on this
committee for several reasons. Your
husband and you have been identified
with the eastern part of the state
for good many years and know
that you must have access to facts
connected with the early history of
the state"
Mrs. Hoover has consented to act
O, the committee and will do all she
can towards securing data for the
club. 1t was her intention to call
on as many of the pioneers of Bear
Lake county as possible this summer
and obtain from them such inform
alton as they might care TO give re-
garding the trials and vicissitudes
with which they met in the early
settlement of this valley. Owing
to her removal TO Blackfoot in a
few weeks she will not be able to
accomplish as much this summer as
she had hoped for, but during the

FISHERS WHO CAN'T SWIM.
Labrador Mems Lives Often Haz-
arded Through Ignorance
Of This Art.

Few fishermen can swim, says q writer
In Leslie's Monthly on Labrador. you
see, we has enough o. the water without
goin' to bother WI it when we are
ashore" man said to me only the
other day. Yet this very man had fallen
overheard in the open sea no less than
four times and had only been saved on
one occasion by catching the line thrown
him in his teeth and holding on till he
was hauled aboard. His hands were too
numbed to be Of any use. Still, this fact
does not deter them from facing the
water. In an open bay in Labrador lives
one solitary settler. In the spring of tho
year, when the Ice was just breaking up,
the mans two lads were out on the bay
ice after seals, when all of a sudden it
gave way and the lads fell through.
The father. seeing 1t from the shore, did
not hesitate, but, selling fishing line,
hastily fastened one end round his body
and. giving the other end to his daugh-
ter to hold, he ran out to the hole
through which they had fallen. He
jumped into the water, actually went
down and fetched up the bodies, too late,
alas. to restore life to them after that
cold water.

TEA-DRINKING BY CHILDREN
Said by Physicians to Be Prevalent
Among Those of Poor Who
Cannot Afford Milk.

1t has been stated by physicians that
the practice of tea drinking among the
children of the poor is very prevalent,
says the Detroit News-Tribune Even
little ones less than two years old are
given tea to drink three times day.
The reason for this is that the parents
are not able to buy milk for the chill
dren, and, thinking that they must have
something to drink besides water, ig-
norantly give them tea, never realizing
the disastrous results that may follow to
the growing child in the way Of nervous
ness and other troubles. Physicians
who work among the poor are discour-
aging this practice as far as possible and
advising water as beverage, either cold
or hot with little milk added, making
that drink known in many families as
cambria tea" Women, too, who know
better than to give tea to babes, might
do much good by instructing those who
do not know better; not in an intrusive
way. but by perhaps saying: "My doc
tor says it is harmful to give children
tea, so l have stopped it altogether"
And the ignorant women, with the doc
tors opinion placed before them, will
more often than not listen and profit by
it. for they have much confidence in a
physician.

After being without a girl for a

She had been liberal in her promises
of privileges in the way of afternoons
and nights off. She had even gone so
far as to extend the hour of the girls
return on these nights, and to agree to
her using the sewing machine after her
work was done.
The new girl seemed pleased and the
mistress was beginning to hope They
walked back into the dinirg-room, and
the girl had actually removed one hat

A constantly increasing number of

to their patients.
Peruna occupies unique position in

GIVE THANKS AT MEETING
Many Express Grateful Feelings at
temperance Gathering in
Blanchard Hall

The temperance meeting conducted
by Francis Murphy in Blanchard hall
last evening was largely attended. The
services were conducted in the form of
Thanksgiving meeting, and many
gave voice to various things for which
they were thankful.
Some gave thanks for being permitted
to live and enjoy prosperity, while the
thanks of others were more specifically
enumerated. One man was thankful
that eleven months ago he signed the
pledge in Mr.. Murphy's presence and
had not touched drop of liquor since.
Another man, who was once a saloon
keeper. gave thanks that Mr.. Murphy
had influenced him to sign the pledge,
and stated that he had never before
enjoyed such harmony in his home life.
Mr.. Murphy in his inimical way spoke
words of comfort to those who We're
trying to become morally better and
sympathized with those who had been
recently afflicted with the loss of some
one dear to them or in some other way.
He paid a high tribute to President
Roosevelt for the part he took in bring
ing about the peace between Russia
and Japan, stating that he cared not
whether he was Republican or a
Democrat.
The meeting was concluded with a
song service. during which time those
who so desired were given chance
to sign the pledge.

WOMAN RIDER IN PERIL
Thrown From Her Horse and Mar
rowIy Escapes Being Struck
by a Car

A dashing and handsome young
euuestrienne, who absolutely refused
to divulge her identity, narrowly
escaped being killed by Pacific Elec-
trio long line car running between Los
Angeles and Pasadena, at the corner of
Downey avenue and DAILY street shortly
before o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The young woman was galloping
north on Downey avenue and was
within a few feet of the car line when
she noticed rapidly approaching west
bound car. The young woman drew up
her horse so abruptly that she was
thrown to the street, striking the back
of her head against the south rails of
the westbound tracks, sustaining II
deep scalp wound. In another moment
the car whirled by her, but she had
succeeded in getting far enough away
from the track to avoid injury,
Several spectators ran to her assist
ance and she was carried into Stock
we'll & Bradford's fruit store at Downey
avenue and Daily street. There her
wounds were dressed, but she refused
20 reveal her identity and courageously
mounted her steed and rode away.
officer Woodward handed the woman
her bag which he picked up one block
below the scene of the accident.
