The base ball boys had a hard time
getting some team to play with, The
Alba team had promised TO come but at
the last moment they backed out.
Arrangements were quickly made with a
Nevada team which promised TO come
down on the afternoon train but they
failed to put in their appearance. OF
the three teams which were expected on
ly the Golden City team appeared on
the scene.
Miss Martha Kcener won out in the
contest for Goddess Of Liberty. The
contest centered on Miss Kecner and
Miss Maud McQuillen and became ex-
citing at the close at 10 o'clock Saturday.
Twenty dollars worth of votes were
bought in the last two minutes, the re-
suit being Miss Keener l, ,i55, and Miss
McQuillen 1,261.
Jasper enjoyed seeing many Of her
former citizens who came ..bnck TO their
old home to help celebrate. They all
seemed to be glad To get back to their
old stamping ground and the day proved
to be sort Of pleasant reunion :of old
acquaintances. Come again friends you
are always welcome.
In fixing up as clown for the funny
Parade Wes Spaid sused some powder
on his face which was made for bone
SPAWN on horses aud it proved to be
a poisonous substance. His face was
quite badly poisoned but ii seems to be
getting better now,
The music by the bands were greatly
appreciated. The Alba band is good
organization of musicians and added
greatly to the success Of the celebration.
The Jasper band, showed up in good
shape after a week of hard practice and
furnished good music,
A grtAt deal of the success of the cell
ebration is due to the untiring work of
DIR Gooding who worked up the flower
parade; n. A. Mackey, who looked af-
ter the music aud entertainment aud
Bert Webb who had charge of the fl
nances.
Practically all Of tho stores were
nicely decorated with flags and bunting.
Many residences were also bedecked in

NOTES OF THE DAY.
Minor Incidents and Comments of
the Day


the Day
There was quite a difference as far rs
noise was concerned between this year
and last years celebration. This was
due to the prompt action of the city
council in putting stop to tue torpedo
canes apd cannon hrecrackers. The
visitors appreciated this lack OF undue
noise.
There was not q single accident re-.
corded that amounted W anything seri.
Gus. There were three minor niishaps
which might have proven serious but
fortunately they did not. Que OF the
lsenmSn boys living east OF the city
fell backward of Of the grand stand at
the ball grouud striking his head and
stunning him for little bit but no was
soon alright again. One Of the sections
OF seats at the grove fell down during
the speaking and caught baby beneath
it but this did not prove TO be serious.
While Otis Crandal and his mother
were riding east of towu in the evening
his horse got frightened at an automo-
bile aud run into the ditch. Otis was
thrown out Of the buggy and the wheel
run over his back but he pluckily
held onto the lines and prevented a
runaway. He was not hurt.
Among the Fourth Of ,Jnly visitors
were Mr.. and Mrs Allison Lowe OF Min,

an eight or ten-miie tramp on snow shoes

his special field. is more or less unhonored
in his own country. The Inhabitants OF the
good town of Amiens know his house, and
possibly salute their burgess in his daily
walks but aristrocratic society of the an

boiirgeotsie, do not adopt him as one OF

curious reticence on the part of the French

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Jockey Phillips Was Astride Three

The crowd at the New Orleans track yes

some good racing, in which favorites more

The play on Song and Wine for the third
race seemed to warrant an easy victory,
but those that knew him in the east refused
to consider him even dangerous and went
else where to find the winner. If the Ben

ended with the lifting of the barrier, for he
rropped and refused to leave the post until
the others were well on their journey. At
the finish he was fifth. first money going to
