Would Save Niagara.

Washington. - A remonstrance
against the recommendation of the
International Waterways Commission
regarding the diversion of the waters
of Niagara river at the Fall of Niagara
was filed with President Roosevelt
Wednesday by officers of the American
Civic Federation and the Merchants
association of New York. The COM
mission recommended that legislation
be enacted authorizing the diversion of
60 900 cubic feet of water per second.
The remonstrance urges that the diver
sion of that amount of water would di-
vert forty-eight per cent. of the water
going over the American falls and
would materially diminish the beauty
of the cataract. Although the Presi-
dent had approved the recommends
tions of the commission in a message
to Congress, he regarded the re-
monstrance as important and promised
his callers to refer the subject to Sec
retary Taft and the members of the
commission.

Vesuvius Threatening.

Naples.-There has been great re-
crudescence of the activity of Vesu-
vius. An aperture 200 metres wide on
the east side of the mountain is emit
ting lava and scoria in the direction of
Pompeii. The flow of lava, which is
accompanied by incessant rumDlings
from the crater, threatens to cut the
funicular railway. Dense masses of
dust and ashes surmount the cone OF
the crater like a cloud, and the wind
causing rain of ashes to fall all over
the surrounding country. Tore Del
Portici has been greatly damaged. All
Naples is sprinlled with thick layer
of ashes and the volcano presents
threatening appearance.
Lava is moving toward Bosco Tre-
case at speed of about 100 metres an
hour. 1t threatens shortly to reach
Trecase, where the villagers have
abandoned their houses.

Always Staunch
And True

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
lslnaveries of yellow journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula-
ton proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without eXaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.
In no other way can the invest
ment of 2H cents per day
for that is all The Republican
costs any subscriber-bring such
rich results in that knowledge
which is both Power and Pleasure.
Information, instruction and en-
tertainmcnt fill its columns and it
leaves good taste in the mouth

LETTERS RECEIVED FROM
LIEUTENANT MERZ

Prof. Henry Merz this morning re-
ceived a letter and posal cards from his
son, Lieutenant julius Merz, who is
probably 10Y in Manila as an officer in
the constabulary forces of the Philip
pine Islands. The postal cards were
dated February 4th, 9th and 18th, with
a lengthy letter dated on the Sth, writ
ten aboard the Pacific Mail steamer ST.
IBERIA and mailed in mid-ocean with eX-
change of mail withan American-bound
vessel. The card of the 4th was writ
spoke of that place as Paradise
Found The lard of the 9th contained
only a message as to the writer's
health, which had been excellent. The
card of the 18th was written while the
vessel was in sight of Yokohama, ia
pan. The letter of the Sth was quite
explicit, telling of the writer's good
health and enjoyment of the trip. 1t
was written at a point about half way
between Honolulu and Yokohama. 1t
mentioned the elimination of Tuesday,
the vessel crossing the dead line Mon
day night and jumping at once into
Wednesday. AS Don as Mr.. Merz ar.
rived at Manila, which was about the
I2Sth, he would enter an officers train,
ing school to fit him for the duties OF
his position. The trip over, up to the
time of his writing, had been very
pleasant. The steamer has Chinese
servants at table and to care for the
staterooms. The service, Mr.. Mer2
said, was of a very high order.

Deadwood 3 Rapid City 2

By all odds the most thrilling
and spectacular base ball battle
of the season was enacted at
Mcdonald park last Sunday af-
ternoon between the Deadwood
cliff jewellers and the Rapid City
bunch. The low score is an in
dication Of the supreme efforts
that were made to bear away the
palm Of victory and not until
the farewell scene were the last
cherished hopes of the Rapid
team frustrated. An extraor-
binary amount of enthusiasm
was displayed throughout the
game by the multitude that
thronged the bleachers and
grandstand, and the Rapid City
boys have nothing but words Of
praise for the treatment that
was accorded them.
"Ruben Stewart played the
the leading roll for the Rapid
aggregation and his work i'll
that capacity was certainly
splendid. With his usual cool
ness and cleverness he perform
ed like professional. But in
Guthrie he found a game little
piece Of humanity to contend
with. The Deadwood young
ster was in to win and pitched a
frst-class article Of ball. Both
pitchers uncoiled some marvel
lous twisters and four hits were
all that each team secured.
Rapid City started well. The
first ball that Guthrie delivered
netted a three-sacker and the
next was a passed ball which
gave score number one. But
here the scoring ceased and not
until the ninth did Rapid score
again.
Successive hits by Whipple and
Dietz did the work at that peri
cd and as the sturdy Larson
stepped to the plate with two
gone and a chance to tie the
score there was a round Of APP
plause that made the very raft
ers of the grand stand tremble.
Aforesaid gentleman, however,
was not equal to that occasion
and the game was over. Score:

line up will be as follows:

Bencdicts VS.. Bachelors

The most sanguine expecta-
tons OF the Rapid City married
men were fully realized on Fri
day last when they came forth
from a long, hard fought strug-
gle triumphant over their
young and more aggressive
opponents.
No one anticipated such a close
score. Both sides were eager
in their expectations to win the
flowers and the game so far
from being a burlesque comedy
of errors was marked through
out by stunts which bordered
very closely on the sensational.
The only feature that arose to
stigmatize the brilliancy Of the
contest was the erroneous de-
cisions rendered by the umpire
whose name we do not wish to
disclose. Why he cast his ia
vors toward the married men is
more than our special statistic
ian can solve as he is as far as
can be learned a single man
and should have acted accord
ingly His rash actions, how
ever have caused not a few
rumors to be set afloat concern
ing a very important event
which was in all probability
pulled off at an earlier stage of
his career. An investigation is
pending which will disclose to
the satisfaction of all the truth
OF his past and incidentally the
reason why he favored the mar
ried men.
The game did, nevertheless,
belong to the married men.
Their nerves were mistaken by
the scrutinizing glances Of half
a hundred of the fairer sex and
to this may be attributed the
victory. The youngsters were
all to the bad at the critical
jumps and it can be said verify
that had certain personages
been absent the outcome might
have been different. The game
abounded in Recommendation.
Baldwin's daring base running
was a startling feature. Never
once did he mistake a pebble or
rock for the sack. His steal Of
home in the seventh was a mag
nificent stunt. Grover Nc
earthly also distinguished him
self by stealing three bases and
showed a willingness to perform
further depredations. Cornell
son went to the rubber in the
seventh and held the single men
safe at all times. His speed
and control was excellent. The
ninth inning rally Melted the
old fellows a total Of four runs
and the game resulted in a vic
tory for them by a score Of Is
to Is.
Those who took part were:
Single - Crockett, McElroy,
Zolpher, Reeves, Holcomb, Nc
earthly, Lenhart, Rogers, Holly
and Hurlburt.
Married Thomas, Sharp,
Somers, Edwards, Wiegand,
LeMar, Baldwin, Erskine, Cam

DAVE MARION'S WORK

The burlesquess and the features that
make for their success are the results
Of Dave Marion s originality. Marion
wrote the lines, the songs, planned the
|specialties and plays the leading comedy
role. The two acts are absolutely new
and the plot is original, dealing with
trip from Broadway to Roseland.
The piece calls for an elaborate outlay
of scenery and costumes. Js,
The music is catchy and there are
several good voices in the chorus, which
has some part In nearly every spe-
cialty. The comedy is good and well
handled. Several dancing and ensemble
numbers and worked into the burlesques
adding snap to the show and relieving
| the monotony of dialog
In the olio Dave Marion has the lead
| ing number in his walking song,a turn
/ that is cleverly w orked up and requir-
| ing the assistance of the entire cast.
