!: The drst event, the relay race, was

THE BALL GAME.

What proved to be the most inter-
esting event Of the celebration was
the base ball contest between teams
representing Meeker and Rife.
It was understood that Rifle would
bring over a slashing good team, and
the 'nine" that landed here Monday
evening sure had that appearance.
Meeker contains some very good
base ball talent, but all are either
working in our stores or on ranches
in the vicinity and haven't played
even a practice game this season, SO
it was the general opinion that our
team wouldn't make much ofa show
ing against the visitors. But it Is
the unexpected that sometimes hap
pens, and the occasion under review
was . shining example of the agree
ably unexpected happening. Aside
from the first two innings when Frank
Dunn, one of the best players on the
Meeker team, tried to pitch, the
game was decidedly in favor of the
local boys at all times.
Betting was all In favor Of Rifle be-
fore the game started, and Meeker-
ties such as Rube Ball, DR.. French
and others who wouldn't be blutfed,
picked up quite wad Of easy money.
The game drew large and enthus-
iastic crowd, and was undoubtedly
the most enjoyable feature of Meek
er's 1905 Fourth of July celebration.
Mr.. Vickery, the Midland railway
man 1t Grand Junction, acted rs UNI
pire and gave general satisfaction.
Judge Wildhack, as usual, made
an efficient ofncial score keeper.
Following is the lineup and score
by innings:

THE CALF Rop1Na CONTEST

Was the next best feature Of the
celebration and was greatly enjoyed.
Roping q vigorous and lively calf,
throwing the youngster down and ty-
ing q red ribbon around its neck, is
warmer work than most people i'm
agine. It takes more dexterity than
roping q steer.
There were sixteen entries for this
number on the program.
The winner of the first prize was
Ace HUFF of the K IT ranch. Time
26 "a seconds. Second money went
to George Thomas Of the lies outfit;
time 40 IA seconds. A Keystone
man took third money. rl

THE FOURTH.

The first number on the program
was the street pageant. The visiting
railway and live stock agents acted
as judges.

|. Billy Greene took first money for
best saddle horse and Mrs. Myra
Bloomfield second honors and money.

MEEKER, COLO, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1908.

AS manager Salty Is alright.
Nothing draws like ball game.
Engstrand was there every time at
first.
The way Knap clung to that line
drive into right field wasn't slow.
Why of course Rife thought they
had the gume won but-they didn't.
Quite number of Meekerites put
up good money on Rifle-and lost 1t.
Frank Dunn was the whole
works" At short and everywhere
else.
Stacking up against a gang Of
'hay seed" ball tossers Is not always
a sure thing.
And Rube Ball threw his hst In
the air every time Meeker goose
egged the visitors.
The visiting live stock and railway
men left considerable good money in
Meeker. They bet on Rifle.
With little practice, Meeker has
team that could go on the road and
give a good account of itself.
Salty went out into the sage brush
and dug up ball team. After
this Salty's name should be Foxy Ed.
THE HERALD would like to see the
two teams, as they lined up on the
Fourth, again In action, either here
or at Rifle.
DIR. French scooped In . few fat
bets on the ball game. The doctor is
always loyal to home institutions,
and, of course bet his money on
Meeker.
The Rifle team Is composed Of q
nice gentlemanly lot of boys. Among
them are three former White river
lads-Claude Rees, Willie WEIGH and
o. P. Y. Burch, Jr.
Who said Bob Crawford was all In
as ball player? Even If Bob has
been playing since the year 1901 (as
some allege) he gets around the bases
in way which astonishes the young
sters.
One of Rifles heavy stickers
thought he had located . soft spot
in which to place . two-bagger and
consequently drove the ball into deep
center, but Hendricks was Johnny
on the spot"
Claude Bsss said that al the best
players Of the Rifle team wore left 1t
home. Now Claude, we didn't think
that a brief residence ut the other
end of the stage line would have that
effect on you.
For . man who has been in the
hands of the doctor for the past two
weeks, Jim Kildufi put up a pretty
good game In the pitchers box. Jim
played with . rheumatic arm, in ad-
dition to being otherwise out Of con-
dition.
Messrs. Compton, of the Rio
Grande, and Magrum, Of the Rock
Island, and other railway men, left
considerable money here other than
their hotel and liquor refreshment
bills. They bet on Rifle, which
shows that the best Of judgments

VENERABLE HENS

Make Bully Chicken POt.Pie After q
Few Years. RepOse In Chicago
Warehouses.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Western poultry
eaters were treasured today. Most of
the aged cold storage product goes
east.
Master Of Chancery Kelly heard this
today from w. j. Mooney, cold storage
expert, at the hearing of a case in
which the city seeks to condemn sew
eral thousand pounds of chickens
found in local warehouse. The health
officials say they are not fit to eat.
Owners of the fowls assert they are
all the better for being kept a few
years after killing.
Mooney testified for the defense. He
cooked a pot-pie of few of the chick
ems at his home last night to show the
court how good 1t was.
"Such fowls make the best homeless
chicken in the world" he said.
Frozen poultry is hard to get. These
birds have market value of IL
cents pound. Anyway. 9S per cent OF
Chicago's cold storage fowls are snip
ped to eastern markets.
did you make chemical or
meteorological examination of these
birds?" asked Assistant Corporation
Counsel HOrnstein.
II smelled them. but bugs are not
much In my line." answered Mooney.
Then each of the inquisitors ate a
small piece of the pie. They said. II
tasted good. but no one could he in
duced to eat more than was absolutely
necessary to satisfy the ends of justice.

The Good Bacteria.

pose with results unfavorable in the
extreme), or such chemical action
must take place as will change the
harmful organic ingredients to harm
less inorganic matters. result really
effected through bringing them some-
how into contact with the air, the
oxygen of which will consume them.
The problem before us, then, really
resolves itself into this: How may
we oxidize or nitrify sewage as to
change the noXious organic matter in
to harmless mineral substances? To
do this the sanitary engineer instead
of removing the germs, as in water
filtration. cultivates myriads of help
full bacteria. Whether we consider
such sewage-disposal as carried on by
natural or by artificial means, on the
irrigated farm or the trucking filter,
We find this startling and remarkable
fact-the oxidizing of the sewage is
done by millions of living organisms.
The sewage filter is, in its essentials,
nothing more than pile of rock upon
which the good bacteria may grow.
These bacilli take in the organic
wastes and turn them into safe and
harmless inorganic matters. To cul-
tivate such bacteria and to use their
destructive powers on dangerous ele-
ments has been the effort of all re-
cent sewage researches.-TheA tlant-

" " " " " " v " " " - ~ =" ~ " z"
Bishop c. C. McCabe. one of the most
widely known bishops of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, was born at
Athens, Ohio, Oct. II. 1886. He was
educated at Ohio Wesleyan university,
and entered the Ohio conference of
the NJ. E. church in 1860. The most
adventurous part of his career was
his work as a federal chaplain during
the civil war. He was captured at
Winchester and suffered term of
confinement in Libby prison. After
the war he became pastor at Ports
mouth, Ohio, and financial agent of
Ohio Wesleyan university, his alma
mater. His work in obtaining money
for the university attracted the at
tention of the newly formed Church
Extension society, which enlisted him
as assistant secretary. In 1854, at a
critical period in the existence of the
Methodist Missionary society, he un-
dertook the secretaryship of that i'm
portant organization. During his long
connection with these two societies,
DR.. McCabe's work has made him FAM
Gus throughout the Christian world.
Millions of dollars have been raised
and expended under his auspices His
voice has been heard in more hamlets,
villages, towns and cities than that
of any other living Methodist.

sash curtains of white muslin that can
be laundered. When using your gas
stove in the summer. cover the top of
your coal stove with newspapers,
which will make a handy table. Have
your rack near the range. so that your
towels will get we'll dried after each
dishwashing. A small shelf should
be put up near the stove to hold your
salt and pepper box. The icebox
should be removed from the stove as
far as possible. if you must have 1t in
the kitchen. Cover the wall back to
your sink with oil cloth.preferably
white, and here may be hung your
sink broom. shovel. dish mop and soap
shaker. The ironing tables that now
come may be converted into a settee
when not in use. In the box or drawer
may be kept the necessary articles
for ironing. The top may be covered

Old.Style Blankets.

Old-fashioned rose blankets are COM

handed down the modern copies must
be sought out at art and craft sales
and women's exchanges. They may he
found occasionally in old chests and
attics, and some modern possessors do
not know them by that name. The
rose is a circle-Or, rather, concen-
trio circle pattern-drawn in each cor
ner and worked in elaborate cross
stitches, interlacing, of varied colors.
Orange, green and red crewels were
used on those of colonial times. For
tiny ones for infants they are now
wrought in pale shades of rose color
usually, although the pattern is not u
rose at all, not even the convention
allied Tudor rose of churchly en-
broidery. Soft wool is not used. but
crewels, as Of yore. The quaintest
ones have the names OF the four
apostles or the initials of Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John, one in each cor
ner rose. This refers to the old-timc
invocation of those saints:
Matthew. Mark, Luke and John.

4 Real Worker,

Of all the real workers among the
British aristocracy no woman works
harder than Lady Henry Somerset, the
great temperance reformer, whose
latest recruit at her home for inebriate
women at Duxhurst, Ken. is the FORM
err maid of the late Nine. Belle Cole,
the popular English singer.
This maid, who formely occupied a
first-class position, was found in rags
in Fleet street the other day by a
woman newspaper reporter. The un-
fortunate woman, who had been sink
ing lower and lower, had been without
food for several days.
The reporter took the wretched
woman to hospital and then COM
municated with Lady Henry Somerset,
who at once took charge of the patient
at Duxhurst. Lady Henry declares
that she will make new creature of
this one-time fashionable lady's maid,
as she has of mony other derelicts.
Lady Henry lives in a tiny vine~
covered cottage at Duxhurst and al
ways wears gray nurses uniform.
