How Kelley Cuts Bases.

The "Only Kel'' was the man who
copyrighted the idea of cutting bases.
Kel never tried to cut a base ten fet
Kel never tried to cut base ten feet
he wanted to score from first by
running around the pitcher-and that
is exactly what he did in one game
against New York.
He was on first when the batter rap
ped a grounder towrad third. Without
an instants hesitation Kel started
straight toward the pitchers box,
yelling: Watch Kelly" Watch KEEL
ly!" at the top of his voice.
The umpire and the opposing play
ers had too much experience with KEEL
ly and his tricks to pay any attention
to him, so the third baseman scooped
the ball and shot it to first, the umpire
running there to watch the play. kel
almost ran over the pitcher, and then,
with one fleeing glance at the UNI
pire, he turned and struck thru the
diamond for the plate.
"Out!' yelled the umpire on the
runner at first base, and then, turning
quickly, he sought Kel-and discovered
him Just sliding across the plate with
a yell of victory. He had scored from
first on an infield out-and, altho the
opposing team yelled long and loud, the
umpire was forced to admit he had not
seen Kelly cut a base-so the score

The Fight in Dickinson County
Will Close With the Caucuses
This Evening
OUTLOOK GOOD FOR cuMMlNs
It Has Been the Most Strenuous Cam
paiqn in the History of the County
Since the Presidential Campaign of
1eoe-voters Brought to the Polls in
Boats,
70 Times-Repnblican.


Spirit Lake, April 7.-Never except
in the free silver campaigns OF 1896 and
1900 has such a political campaign
been waged in Dickinson county as
that which will come to close this
evening, after the republican caucuses
to determine who shall have the dele
CATION from this county to the state
nvention-Cummins or Perkins.
Dickinson county is in the Eleventh
district-the home of George ID. Per-
kins. one of the candidates for COVER
nor. The caucuses today are the first
result will presage, almost certainly,
the results in the majority of the 9TH
er counties. For the time being, the
whole fight turnout the state hangs on
the showing here.
For ten days business has been prac-
tically suspended in Spirit Lake and
similar conditions prevail in the other
towns Of the county. Men devote their
talking the single issue-Perkins or
Cummins. Local managers for both
sides are working twenty-four hours
every day to whip the republican vot-
ers into line and the indications are
the vote polled will be the biggest ever
known in a republican caucus in this
county.
This morning the Perkins managers
went over to West Okoboji and char
tered steamer-one of the largest on
the West Lake and started thru the
chain of lakes, hugging the shore and
picking up farmers and others to bring
them here to participate in the cau-
Gus. The Cummins men had already
contracted for a large steamer and
they have had it out all day, bring
ing in their voters. A large part of
Dickinson county is water, so that the
steamer method of getting the vote
out is essential.
In addition. both sides have wagons.
carriages and buggies out, hauling in
the voters. Everyone must come to
Spirit Lake, as the caucus for the
whole county is to be held here. The
voting will probably be by secret ball
lot. with two tickets only in the field.
That the vote at the caucus will be
close is conceded by both sides. The
Cummins men claim their polls, Skin
ned to the bone show 175 majority
for Cummins. The Perkins men claim
they will carry the county but do not
give figures. Altho loud in demonstra-
ton of their willingness to bet on
Perkins the CImminS men TODAY are
offering three and two to one, with no
takers. The Cummins managers feel
much easier since the joint debate.
while the Perkins men claim they lost
nothing and gained some by 1t.

Western stonewale Company
Acquires Plant of Fort Dodge
Stoneware Company
DISTRIBUTING POINT FOR IOWA
This Will Necessitate Doubling the
Capacity of FL Dodge Plant, Which
Has Been High Dividend Payer =
Plan is to Get All Plants West of
Ohio, Into the Trust.
,nec,a; To T,mer-Ren,,blIcan,

Special to Tfmes-R Republican,
Fort Dodge, April 17.-After long
period of negotiations, the property OF
the Fort Dodge Stoneware Company
has been taken into the Western Stone
ware Company, which is the western
stoneware trust. The plan by which
this company is joined with the others
is that used by the Great Western Ce-
real Company when it took charge OF
the local Heath mills. The local own
ers get part cash and get part stock
for their property.
1t is understood that the price paid
was high, as the local institution has
been a high dividend payer. Seven OF
the largest pottery plants in the mid
die west have gone into this trust, and
more will follow. The local plant is
the only one in this section of the
country, and will therefore be made the
distributing point for Iowa, which will
necessitate the doubling of the capacity
of this plant.
w. U. Turpin will remain here as
manager for the new company. The
headquarters of the trust are in Mon
mouth, ILL.,, and the scheme is to gel
all the plants west of Ohio into the
trust, and most of them have already
been taken in.

Carl schurz,s Early Lesson.

When the weather was bad we now

Cures. "And here, in order to be en-
tirely faithful to truth, I must mention
an occurrence which will prove that
that my youth was by no means free
from serious blemish.
cat first we played cards for the
sake of pass time. Then as the taste
for it grew, we staked small sums of
money to increase the interest and ex-
citenaent, which it did most effeetually.
The stakes were very small, indeed,
but the changing fortune in winning
and losing stimulated the gambling
passion until finally a catasthrope oc-
Cured. One particular afternoon
happened to have the money in my
pocket with which to pay my tuition
fees, due in few days. I lost steadily
in the game, and was SO carried away
that at last I took out of my pocket
the money entrusted to me by my
parents. Of course with it I expect
ed to win back all I had lost. We
played on feverishly, but luck would
not turn, and at last the entirpe sum
Of the tuition fee was, swept away.
1t amounted only to a very few thalers,
and my cousins helped me out of my
immediate embarrassment, but my
honor at what had happened was so
great, my consciousness guilt SO pain
full and the sense of my modification
so acute-for / considered myself, and
with reason, to be a criminal-that the
inward suffering of those days, espe-
cially when I made a confession to my
parents, has ever remained in my
memory as terrible lesson. I had
gone thru a very serious experience
with myself In playing for stakes the
desire to win money had really not
been my impelling motive, but the evil
fascination which the demon of for
tune always possesses had led me to
commit an act which, committed under
less favorable circumstances and upon
a larger scale, might have ruined my
character irretrievably. Card playing
for money is frequently classed among
the so-called noble passions" but I
believe there is no form of amusement
which, when it becomes a real pas
sion, is so dangerous even to nobly
cast natures. 1t was, perhaps, very
fortunate in my own case that this les
son came SO early in life and appear
ed in so drastic a shape"
