A No Hit, No Run Game.


Fred Steele Sunday accomplished
what very few pitchers do in their
entire career. He pitched a no hit,
no run game. His was a matchless
piece of work and behind him was the
splendid support of his teammates.
While they made errors that seemed
like critical misplays, and four men
lived by failure to accept chances, yet
the errors did not let men cross the
rubber at home and no run was scored
for the visitors. The visitors could
not hit Fred Steele effectively very
often. They did find him time after
time, however, driving some vicious
liners through the infield. Several
of these drives were mighty warm.
So much to that the fielder had to
let go, but they always succeeded in
knocking it down and in every case
but two recovered the ball in time to
make the put out. Mr.. Steele owes
some of the credit of his great victory
to the support Of the infeld, no less
than eighteen assists being made, Of
which number he himself fielded four.
The outfield had but three chances
during the whole nine innings, two of
which were accepted. Kelsey, Spen-
Ger, Wilkes, Sheldon and Parkin
seemed determined to get a drive
through the Quaker infield, but they
invariably failed in their efforts.
The last inning found the Quakers
taking their half and but for mishaps
in the visitors outfeld the end might
have been different. Benson came
to bat and sent a fly to right field.
The fielder made hard run and but
for the fact that he fell fat he would
have nailed the effort. AS it was,
Benny" was on third sack when the
ball was thrown In. Booth went out
without helping in the base runner.
Then came Patterson. The Quilted
was playing in rather close and he
hit fair ball in the same direction
that "Benny's" had gone. The field
er made a hard effort to get the ball,
and reached far out for it with his
ungloved hand. He struck the ball
on the run, but could not hope to
hold 1t and Mr.. Patterson deserved
his hit. Benny" came home with an
earned run.
This series of games with Waterloo
has been the best and the most inter
esting played on the home grounds
this season and have been remark
able in many respects. All OF them
have been won, one to nothing, max
ing three shut out games. oskaloosa

Observation-Disclosures, at the
residence of the bride in Earlham,
Iowa, Wednesday evening, Sept. IL,
1906, at six-thirty o'clock, Miss Mabel
Hill Of that place to Mr.. Carl John
son of Oskaloosa. President Rosenber-
ger of Penn college officiating.
A company of about sixty people,
relatives and near friends of the
young couple, had assembled at the
Hill home to witness the happy event.
The place had been beautifully deco
rated with a profusion of China as
tiers and the effect was pleasing and
artistic. The guests were received in
the parlors of the home by the bride
and groom-elect and happy social
season was passed. At the appointed
hour, however, the couple separated
themselves from the company, passing
into an adjoining room appropriately
decorated, where, after the usage OF
the Friends marriage ceremony, they
plighted their troth and themselves
made the declarations binding unto
each other. Then following the pray
er and the benediction upon the
event, President Rosenberger intro
duced them as man and wife.
The remainder of the evening was
given over to sociability of which the
young couple made the center. Con-
gratulations poured forth from all
sides, both in the form of the written
and spoken felicitation, and in a more
material expression of handsome and
elegant wedding gifts received in
number. An elaborate wedding din
ner was served, after which Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnson had planned to take a
train for Omaha. But they, like other
young couples before them, became
the objects of the good-natured fun
and it so happened that they did not
leave on the train as anticipated.
They finally made their departure for
the Nebraska city, however, where
they expected to remain until Satur-
day evening, at which time they are
to be in Des Moines for the wedding
Of their friends, Carl Thornburg and
Miss Kidd. Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson
will arrive in this city Monday to
make their future home here.
The bride is the daughter of Mark
D. Hill, of Earlham, a banker Of that
city, and is most interesting young
lady. She became acquainted in this
city during her attendance at Penn
college several years ago, where she
studied. She has been deservedly
popular in her home and with all who
have known her. She has been abroad
travelling in Europe for the greater
part of year with party Of friends.
The groom is one of Oskaloosa's very
best young men and the congratula-
ton that will be extended the young
couple in this city will be general. He
is the president Of the Johnson ABB

ones who would desert their standards
if the old Instructions are repeated
In justice to the men who are elected
as such delegates it should be said that
no matter what their leaders may
charge against them, they are of too
high character to be traded, sold or
marketed. They will go to the con-
vention as men and should they decide
to affiliate with the majority and as
sist in selecting the ticket, they will
do so from pure motives and the man
who charges them with any other will
state wilful untruth.
But it is evident that in the frenzied
efforts of the leaders to claim ma
jority of disruptionist delegates, they
are planning to make just such a
charge and then proclaim this to the
public as an excuse for their future
actions.
1t is easy to see that if it is claimed
that large number of delegates are
elected who favored the dsruptionist
cause, and when the votes in the state
convention show that there are not so
many, it would be easy for those who
are preparing to raise this cry to de-
clare that these other delegates sold
out.
This is certainly the explanation for
a newspaper classifying its news col
umns to carry out it's editorial desires.
But the story will not be accepted.
1t would be reflection upon the peo-
pie who proclaim it, by admitting that
the men they selected were not sincere
enough to stand by their sinking ship.
But not one delegate elected to the
convention on the disruptionist ticket
could be purchased in the market. 1t
| is one thing to disagree with man
politically, but to accuse him of selling
his honor as citizen is quite another
matter. The delegates possess a
higher honor than their leaders.

we'll known that when the Harvester
company sells a piece of farm machin-
cry it secures the unpaid purchase
money by mortgage. If the machine
becomes broken it is taken to the
smith for repairs, and no matter how
much labor or material he may put
upon it. in the fall when the Harvester
company desires to collect it's money,
it forcloses the mortgage and takes
the property, leaving the repair man
to console himself with the fact that
he should have refused to do the work.
The plan of the new organization is
to secure legislation making repair
bills on machinery first liens upon the
property in the same manner that con-
tractors and builders have first liens
upon the building constructed for the
labor and material.
There is but little doubt that they
will secure the necessary legislation
for it is merely justice to this class of
mechanics, and they are entitled to
protection as much as any other
artiZans.

STREET RAILWAY EXTENSION,

To the average observer it is evil
dent that if the city of Grand Forks
is to become what it should be in size
and which the natural opportunities
which it possesses would justify, it
will have to increase the residence
area much beyond what it is at the
present time.
The business portion of the city is
even now congested beyond comfort
and convenience and the people who
work in the down town districts are
put to the inconvenience of walking
several blocks to and from their work.
This at the noon hour is a decided
burden on the energy of those who are
so unfortunately situated for it takes
the larger portion of the hour to
reach their homes and return, leaving
no time for rest aud regeneration of
the strength for the work of the after
noon.
Rents in the business portions and
the close in districts of the city are
prohibitive so far as the man of aver
age means is concerned. There is
nothing left for the working men of
the city which are the real bone and
sinew of any community, but to go
out to the outlying districts where
property is cheaper. Then they are
confronted with the problem of reach
ing their work without the necessity
of expanding the energy of half a days
work on the effort.
There is just one solution for the
problem and that is the extension of
the street car lines to the outlying
districts and the Inauguration of a car
service which will enable these people
to reach the down town districts with
certainty and at small cost.
Unless this is done in the near flu
ture there must certainly be a fallin&
away in the present increase of the
city's population. for no matter how
many general opportunities are avail
able in community unless there is
the primary one of easy transportation
people will not seek to make their
homes in the city.
The present line does not yield
revenue of gigantic size because it is
limited in Its advantages. Yet it costs
almost as much for power as it would
If the line were extended to the prin-
cipal residence streets.
