BASE BALL DAY AT LApORTE.

The efforts of the Laporte Athletic
Association to give lovers of base
ball day of fine sport were crown
ed with success. The Dushore team
composed of exclusive home players
were the first arrivals and were
quartered at the Commercial Hotel.
BY ten O'Clock the Hughesville team
accompanied by the Hughesville
cornet band and a couple hundred of
rooters arrived and quartered at the
Laporte Hotel, where the Eagles
Mere team also were entertained up
on their arrival shortly before noon.
At Athletic Park all was in readiness
for the games. Stands for refresh
ments were tastefully decorated and
were in charge of the ladies of the
Village Improvement Society.
The morning game between Du-
shore and Hughesville bade fair to
be close as DushOre secured a lead in
the early innings. Hughesville how
ever was not to be deceived and
steadily gained until at the end the
score was Is to 4, Dushore having
the short end of it. Tom Carrolls
base running took the eye of all the
spectators and he received IA good
many verbal bouquets. Coyle pitch
ed a good game but had ragged sup
port at critical points.
The afternoon game was called at
3 p. m. before a crowded grand stand
and fairly good number of bls ach-
ers. A close game was expected and
resulted. Mecum had the slab for
and pitched steady,
speedy game and kept the bits well
scattered. For Eagles Mere young
ster was i'm the box for two innings
and was taken out when 4 runs were
scored, another youngster gave
two more runs i'm two

good game and every one
was much pleased with both teams.
Had Young started the game the
result would have been i'm great
doubt.
During both games the Hughes

sic. This band is very popular up
here on the mountain top, as are the
ball team and Hughesvillians gener
ally. We are always glad to see

their own.

Little, of Picture Rocks, will show
real curiosity of the flower family.
On one of his tea rose bushes, near
the top grew rose. OF course,
there is nothing out of the ordinary
about that, but wheu it is learned
that the branch of the bush pushed
straight through the rose and grew
about four inches longer, it will be
considered remarkable. Such is the
case and many have seen the curi-
osity.

The ,wentieth annual convention

school Association was held at Hills
grove, August and 8, 1906.
The schools of the county were
well represented. Each session was
well attended both By the DELEGATES
and the people of tie teau,
The two essentials to successful
convention were very marked, name
ly: enthusiastic workers and earnest
listeners. Another marked feature
of the convention was the excellent
music.
Mr.. Bidleman, a State worker, was
present giving several valuable talks
on different phases of Sunday School
work. He also conducted two round
table talks. Subject, the Sunday
school teacher and the Sunday school
superintendent.
j. A. Muller, our student field
worker, was also present, giving ma
ny helpful suggestions along the line
of department work. Mr.. Muller has
been instrumental in organizing sew
eral home departments and normal
classes through the county, also in
arousing greater enthusiasm in Sun
day school work. He reports Sones-
town NJ. +. Sunday school as having
the largest adult class in the county.
Bernice the largest home depart
ment, and Lopez the largest normal
class, and Lincoln Falls the greatest
number of normal teachers, the
whole school being in charge of nor
NAL graduates.
Mr.. Muller received IL hearty invi-
tatiOn from the convention to return
next summer and continue the work
in which he has been so earnestly en-
gagged the past two summers.
From the secretary's report we
find there are fifty schools in the
county with total attendance ,, $50
an increase of III over last year.
The number of cradle roll members
is 1863, an increase of -. The num-
ber of home department members is

fact that several have joined the

The convention pledged sli0 to
state work, leaving balance in the
treasury of $50.
Many thanks are due the people
of Hillsgrove for the kind manner
in which they welcomed and enter
tanned the convention. We are sure
if in a few years they should care Ia
extend another invitation 1t will he
met with hearty response.

development of events, it is made
clear that the Russian people will be
granted written constitution. The
cabinet, as in the German system,
remains quite Independent of the ma
jority of parliament. The hope ex-
pressed after the manifesto of Octo-
Der 80 that the cabinet would be re-
sponsible to the national assembly
after the British plan, has not been
realized. The government believes it
will control the new parliament and
proposes to fight further concessions
to the radical parties. That it expects
to succeed is evident from the fact
that Count Witte has definitely chang
ed his plans and will not retire on
the opening of the national assembly.
His decision is expected to aid the
negotiation of the new foreign loan
of which the treasury stands in urg-
ent need.

impossible to see half square along

WHO OWNS IT
lntimates That the Purchase, If There
Was One, Was Made for the GouIds.
Talks Around the Stump, but Gives
Little real information.

E. r. Tallmadge, accompanied by
Mrs. Tallmadge, arrived in Roswell
on the delayed train last night, and
| to Record reporter gave out all the
Information he feels at liberty to
/ make public at present. In answer to
the questions, "Have you closed the
deal for the Santa Fe Central rail-
road?" and who is the real purchas-
er of the road?" he declined to give
direct answers, saying that it was not
good business to do so just at this
time; but he afterward partly an
swered the same interrogations in a
way that can be taken almost as con-
elusive. To the reporter he said:
For the past month I have been
with my brother, @. L. Tallmadge in
rfttsburg, Washington and other
points in the East, negotiating for
the purchase of the Santa Fe Gem
trail The statements of my brother
as to the closing of the deal, publish
ed in many eastern papers, must for
the present stand for what they are
worth. Just now 1 cannot deny nor
confirm the newspaper articles
81 will say that we are not merely
acting as brokers in the deal, and
that we are partly interested finan-
cially in the purchase of the road.
We are to have an interest in it when
the change is made.
Are we representing the Goulds :?
All I can say as to that. is, that it
is a significant fact that the Goulds
refuse to talk on the subject at pres
ent
81 will answer your question as to
whether we are representing the San
ia Fe along with our own interests
by asking you what good it would do
the Santa Fe to have two roads into
Roswell and the Pecos Valley.
Another significant fact is that
we have moved our head Office from
Chicago to Roswell Tonight the first
consignment of this removal has come
to Roswell, and on Friday, 1 look for
C. L. Tallmadge. He and I will be
here most of the time indefinitely.
81 will gladly say that with the
new ownership of the road, exten-
sions to Albuquerque and to the Pc
cos Valley, as well as a road east
from Roswell, are very strong proba-
bilities. Whether the people here con-
slider the eastern extension from this
point of Importance or not, it is real
ly the most important point in the
whole proposition-that is, the most
important so far as the interests of
Roswell are concerned.
''If there are any people who have
no confidence in the Tallmadges as
promoters of a deal of this size and
character, will call attention to the
fact that we promoted in very short
time a new road in the Panhandle.
which is now under construction.
Until my brother comes from the
East the last of the week, I believe
have nothing further to say

Will Determine Stand to Be Taken
in General Convention

Pittsburg, Pa, Mar. 7-Chairman
Francis L. Robbins, of the Pittsburg
Coal Company, who represented the
bituminous coal operators at all the
wage scale conferences, has called a
meeting in this city next Friday of
operators of the Pittsburg district to
decide upon the action they will take
at the general convention in Indian
apolis. The result of the Pittsburg
meeting it is said will practically de-
termine the stand to be taken by the
miners of the bituminous fields.
