One more game from those terrible
Miners Three to two was the story of
another pitchers battle which went to
Lakaff The fans came out hoping to
see Swain. but were disappointed. for
the spit ball artist was declared "out of
condition" Cook was substituted and
pitched good ball.
The Islanders as usual got their lead
early and had the best of it all the
way. though the Dubs came up pretty
strong at the finish and it looked as
though they were going to repeat one
of their previous performances and
tie the score. They succeeded in get
ting three hits and registering one tally
but the Islanders got busy in the ninth.
Lakaff had a shade the better over
Cook. allowing but six hits, striking
out five men and allowing two bases
on balls. while Cook allowed the same
number of hits. three bases on balls
and struck out one man. Both teams
played good ball in the field. Walters,
however. made two costly errors and
saved Dubuque from a shutout. Their
first score came about when Reitz got
to first on Cooks error. Stark hit TO
Walters but he let the ball go and
Reitz scored. The Dubs took a squirt in
the eighth when Hadley knocked an
other one to Walters who was slow,
and Hadley took the chance and went
to second. Mcfarland flew out to
Swain and Nandine took in Bosses
popup. Reagan hit safely and Hadley
scored.
Hank in the Scoring.
The Islanders started their scoring
in the second inning when Walters got
a lovely hit for two sacks. Rudd sac
riiiced and Walters went TO third, scor-
ing on Cooks fly TO Davidson. In the
fifth Cook got a base on balls and went
10 second on McCOnnell's sacrifice. La
kaff hit to Cook and was retired Then
came Swain with a timely hit and
Cook scored III the sixth another was
made when Wanner hit safely and
Vandine sacrificed. Walters hit TO left
and Wanner scored.
Ii was in the eighth that the Dubs
took a squirt and hit safely three times
and got their second score, but this
was checked by the Islanders sensa

He WELCOMES AFIGHT.
Bryan Declares Open War on Commit
tecman Sullivan.

Paris. Aug. 13.=William J. Bryan
today gave out a statement concerning
the controversy respecting the Illinois
national Democratic committeeman.
The controversy has grown out of Mr..
Bryan letter demanding the resigna-
ton af National Committeeman Roger
Sullivan to which demand Mr.. Sullivan
returned a prompt refusal and stated
that Mr. Bryan had been misinformed
respecting the situation by M. F.
Dunlap.
Mr.. Bryan's rejoinder says that no
one but himself is responsible for the
Information in his letter and that he
had intended to ask Mr.. Sullivan to
resign before he should see Mr.. Dun
lap. Mr.. Bryan added:
II entered into this contest because
I believe that Roger Sullivan and John
Hopkins had deliberately robbed the
Democrats of Illinois of their political
right and / still believe so; that secur-
ing political power by force or by
fraud ought to be as disgraceful in the
eyes of the public as to secure money
by force or fraud. 1 can not conceive
of any plausible defense which Mr..
Sullivan can make for remaining on
the national committee. If the body
is unable to rid itself of the leadership
of men like Sullivan, who seek to con-
troll the party organization in order to
advance their corporate interests, it
might as well dissolve. While ] was
anxious to give Sullivan a chance to re-
tire without a fight, it is probably just
as well that he refused, for if we must
fight to purify the party organization
the sooner It begins the better"
The statement adds an expression Of
confidence and approval of the work of
the majority rule league and of Messrs.
Dunlap, Rainey, Thompson and Nell
son.
The controversy between Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Sullivan grows out of a CON
test for seats in the national Demo-
cratic convention at St Louis in 1904,
when against the protest of Mr.. Bryan,
the Illinois delegation led by Messrs.
Hopkins and Sullivan was seated.

naturally inclined to conservatism and
simplicity.
Believing the people should have
the fullest and freest opportunity
express their choice of public servants
and suggestion of legislation desired, /
am in favor Of suitable primary cleo
ton law.
There never was any justification
for the railway pass in governmental or
political affairs and it must be prohib-
tied by strict legislative enactment.
Injustice to the railway or corpora
ton would never be threatened if jus
tice to the people was not so often
dulled and perverted by the pass and
kindred evils. It seems to me the pass
has been largely responsible for the
building of political machines and the
arrogance of leaders.
7 am not sufficiently informed to
know what just passenger rate would
be. A two cent fare might be unjust
I believe in a square deal and would
no more be for rate that would de-
prive a railroad company of just COM
pensation for efficient service than l
would be for one that would be burden
some to the people.
on the whole, it appears to me that
freight rates show greater irregulari-
ties,s both as to classification of mer-
chandIse. favoritism and distances. ]
am in favor of such legislation as will
prevent discrimination between ship
pers unjust rates and classified tons OF
commodities. Yours trply,

Refuses Democratic Nomination for
Congress in second.

Judge Manford Schoonover of lola.

of the Democratic congressional COM
mittee of the Second district, declining
the Democratic nomination for congress

This leaves the Second district Dem

it will be hard to find a suitable candi-

We came today through one of the
best parts of agricultural Russia. Most
of the work in the fields was done by
women The Russians seem to be
willing to let the women do the work.
1t was harvest time and I saw no ma
chinery whatever. The grain was be-
ing cut with cradle and I could see
that the Russian peasant woman's
hand rocks that cradle as well as the
other KIND There was a piuful lack

who ought to "revolute'' I would come
straight to Russia. But if 1 weer look
ing for a people who would know how
to carry on a successful revolution and
form a government I would never pick
out the subjects of the car.
In short time we will cross the
frontier and be on German soil. 1 have

But 1 warn Russian subscribers to the
News that they VIII not get the papers
containing these letters. The govern

A friend of mine told me that when he
went to Russia he had a lot of things
in his trunk wrapped in old papers. The
customs officers paid no attention to
the articles but they carefully looked
all over the. newspapers and had one of
them who could read English see if
there was ANYTHING offensive or calcu-
lated to incite revolution.
My passport is ready and it has the
certificate of the police that we may
leave the country. From the prompt
ness with which it was granted I i'm
agine that the cars advisors are more
than willing to speed the parting guest.
In this case the feeling of pleasure at
parting is very mutual In the early

Russia needs is missionaries and soap
and a few guns with men to go behind
