A Good Game.

The game of ball between
the Knights of Pythias and the
Knights Of Columbus was
played yesterday afternoon.
Promptly at 3:45 p. m, Umpire
Ed Stevens called "play bali"
and the big event was on.
There was nothing doing in the
way of scores for the first two
innings, and in the second in
ming Frank Harmon distin-
guished himself by being a
party to a double play which
brought forth great applause
from the crowded" grand
stand. This was easily the
feature of the game. AS the
time wore on both sides
weakened a little and the final
score was II to s in favor Of
the knights of Pythias. The
r'me was we'll played all tn !.
way thro sgh a I'd some of tn ,
STICK work was very good in
deed and some of it rath-
err poor. A few of the
hay cocks in the field near
the diamond were toppled
over from the effect of being
hit with a fast bali, but other
wise there was not much dam
age done.
"Pokey" Lahman and Ross
Mclaughlin for the K. P.'s and
Frank Harmon and Rem Deur,
for the K. C.'s were the batter
les and acquitted themselves
nobly.. Harmon did exceed
ingly we'll uutil he ran out Of
"stuff" when he was super
coded by Mr.. McElderry who
in turn gave way to Ryan in
the pitchers box. Lahman
pitched nearly all of the game
for the K. P.'s but finally gave
up to Shafe.
The Knightsof Pythias ar.
now looking for some othe,
lodge team to conquer and we
hope there will be some one tc
accept their challenge on be-
half of their lodge. Let us
know who will play.

PAPER COMBINE BEATEN.
Knocked Out by Decision Of the su-
preme Court.

st. Paul.-Thc United States gov
eminent Friday secured an uncondi'
tional surrender in the United States
Circuit Court before Judge Sanborn in
the suit which the attorney general be
gan December II. 1904. to dissolve n
combination between the General Pa
per Company and twenty.three other
defendants on the ground that an agree
ment had been entered into by the de-
PENDANTS In restraint of interstate COM
merce.
The Paper company appealed to the
Supreme Court, which decided that its
members must testify. and the defend
ants withdrew their answers, and the
plaintiff asked for Judgment and It was
rendered.
This means that there will again be
competition among paper mills. The
suit caused reduction of over ten per
cent. in the price of paper.
This Is complete victory for the
government. The price of paper at the
time this suit was brought was from
s2.25 to s2.35 per hundred weight. The
bringing Of this suit already has had
the effect Of reducing the price of pa.
per to about s1.S5.
The decision will be important 10
newspaper publishers throughout the
country. Competition will not be re-
newed by all the mills in the country.

Rural Water Supply.

Rural Water supply.
When such great sums of money arc
being expended by city governments
that the Inhabitants OF towns may
have sanitary water supply. 1t seems
strange that the supply in rural towns
should receive little or no attention.
This latter population may seem rel
ativeiy insignificant. but according to
the last census It comprises about 40.-
100000 souls. This means that 49,
100000 people are drinking the water
most available. without thought OF
its sanitary condition. These various
sources OF supply. whether wells.
springs or small streams. are similarly
unreliable for furnishing drinking VIA
ter. The statistics OF mortality In the
country are very indefinite. but even
these show that the rural population Is
not as free from Illness as II should be.
And though everywhere the rural
death rate Is lower than tho urban
death rate. yet the lowering In the
country has not been rs great as In
the city. An examination OF typhoid
statistics shows that the death ratio OF
other diseases is generally lower In
the country than in the city. but tho
prevalence OF typhoid Is almost equal
To II not greater In the rural districts
than In the cities. Several instances
have been reported which show the
rural typhoid rate to bo ten times
greater than tho urban rate for tho
same district. To partieularixe. n GER
tain district In central Pennsylvania
proves this fact II Is made up OF n
rural population with 100 Inhabitants
TO tho square mile. II Is a region OF
finc farms. Wild mountains and woods.
country residences and picnic groves.
And In this valley there has been as
much typhoid fever ~ in tho city OF
Philadelphia. Sad as this condition Ii.
thcrc seems to be no remedy for Il
The sources OF city water supply arc
few. and tho city government easily
controls the conditions affecting IL
But what can bo dono when iae
sources of supply arc numbered by tho
thousands. A mint OF money and nm
army of chemists would not bo suf-
aeicnt to give tho samo caro- to tho
country supply that Ia given to that OF
the city.

OF tho petitions Is not that tho immi-

they arc too strong. I. goes on to say:

with which tho masses Of immigrants

vania. for cxamplc). have only to pro-
vide. as Massachusetts, and most OF the
southern states have done, against put
ting the ballot In the fists OF people
who cannot read II. But by curious
contradiction tho utmost facilities for

allied. white and black. to exercise tho
suffrage are afforded by Pcnnsylvann

Earthquake Broke Water Mains.

San Francisco.-One of the causes
Of the destruction of the greater por-
ton of the greater portion OF San
Francisco was revealed when Mayor
Schmitz and Engineer Schussler of the
Spring Valley Water Company, ac-
companied by other officials. made a
trip down the peninsula to inspect the
huge mains of the water company.
which furnished the city's water supply
from Crystal Springs and other lakes.
Several big breaks were found in the
mains and thus was explained why the
city was without sufficient water sup
ply to fight the fares on the days i'm
medately following the earthquake.

Free Fight.

Chicnro-A meeting over which
John Alexander Dowic presided ut
Zion City Sunday afternoon was
broken up by n number OF followers oi
the opposing faction. assisted by sew.
eral outsiders, md before tho crowd
dispersed n free fight occurred.
Dowic was addressing the audience,
numbering about GOO. and made the
statement that the ovcrsecrs OF Voliva
faction were thieves and robbers. Al
once n number Of those In the audience
were on their feet shouting: mo. no,
you are the robber: why don't you pay
your dcbts?"
The disturbance became SO violent
that n Zion guard took hold OF an old
| ,rrayheadcd man who was loudest IN
his demands for Dowic to pay his obli'
cations. and this was signal for Tree
nght. A dozen men seized the guard
and were about to drag him down the
aisle. when Gladstone Davis and Dea.
con Arlington mounted the platform
and called upon the audience not to
create disturbance. and to take their
seats.
After quiet had been restored Dowie
! again attempted to proceed with the
/ meeting. but he was jeered and called
traitor and robber until he finally de.
cided to dismiss the audience.

from one of his SUPPORTS stating that

Dowie compared with the case OF Mrs.

died last Friday without medical atten-
ton, while voliva and his supporters
were Offering prayers for her recovery.
Dowie declared that he feared the
woman would die because she had as.
