ed defeat to Grand Rapids. The
locals out-classed the visitors at
all points of the game, in all of
the contests being just enough
better to have the results safe.
Farley LeGore pitched yester-
day, and he certainly had the
"Rapids batters safely tucked
away. He pitched shut-out ball,
and the game would have been a
shut-out, but for the fact that
the ball was lost behind the third
base in the seventh inning and
Grand Rapids batter scored.
Two we're out, when Haschey
came to bat. He hit a fly to
Hoover, in deep short field. The
ball hit Hoover's mitt and bound
ed to the fence. It took the
com bined efforts of all the fielders
to find it, and when the ball was
recovered Haschey had run all
| the way from first base to the
plate and scored the only run his
side has made against Farley's
pitching in two games. He
struck out ten, and five hits were
made by Grand Rapids, which
were we'll scattered.
Bemidjl made four errors, but
got to Thorson for seven hits.
Summers stopped low, wide
throw at second base and by
beautiful throw nipped a runner
at the plate. "Red" Hazen put
up a nice game at second base.
Hoover was slightly ''off'' from
his usual steady game. Eddie
Gilmore was i'll, but pluckily
played third.
Thorson pitched for Grand
Rapids, and he did fairly good
work. He allowed seven hits and
struck out two. Some dumb
work behind him was responsible
for two scores. -
The series of three games
which have been played between
Bemidji and Grand Rapids have
proven the fact that the local
team is stronger than the "Rap.
ids," and has faster players.
The Long Prairie and Alexan-
dria teams will play a game at
Sauk Center tomorrow for a
purse of 500 a side. There has
been much rivalry between the
two teams this season, which cul-
minated O. week ago in an agree
ment for a game at Sauk Center
tomorrow for $lOO a side. The
Great Northern will run a special
train from Sauk Center to Long
Prairie and return for the accom-
mediation of the Long Prairie
''fans" who desire to 60 to the
game. Arneson, who pitched
the fourteen-inning game for
Melrose against Bemidji two
years ago, is the twirler for Long

NO MORE IT, CONTRACTS
Eight-Hour Law, Say Government Of
ficials, Will Bar Many Outsiders
from Competing.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a
The opinion among officials is that the
rigid application of the Presidents s.
hour order will sound the death knell
of the whole system of government con-
tract work. The contractors are now
working in keen competition with the
government in many places and, it is
said, are barely holding their own. The
application of the eight hour law, ac-
cording to executive officers here, will
oblige them to do one of two things;
Increase the price of their bids for gov.
eminent work to a point beyond the
government estimates, in which case the
department would do the work itself, or
reduce the wages of the laborers and
mechanics to make their productive cap
acity correspond dollar for dollar to
their employees engaged ON private work
at 10 hours per daY.

DREYFUS GETS CROSS.
Impressive Ceremony of Restoration
Takes Place Where He Was Dis
graced Twelve Years Ago.

PARIS, July 21.-In the presence of
a distinguished military assemblage Maj.
Alfred Dreyfus, wearing the full uni
form of his rank, today received the
cross of Chevalier of the Legion of
Honor
The ceremony, which occurred in the
court yard of the military school was
rendered doubly impressive by being Eeld
on the very spot where the buttons and
gold lace were stripped off his uniform
and his sword broken twelve years ago.
The public was vigorously excluded.
Col. large, who made the recent discov-
cries at the war office leading to the re-
hearing of the case against Dreyfus and
his acquittal, was in charge.
Gen. Gillian, accompanied by a num-
Der of army officials, entered the circle
with trumpets and drums sounding. The
general attached the decoration to Maj.
Dreyfus' breast and felicitated him on
his well earned honor. The major re-
piled briefly, expressing his acknowledge
ments. The ceremony was over in five
minutes, the general, Maj. Dreyfus and
the army officials retiring amid the dip
ping of flags and a roll of drums.

OUR WHOLE ARMY
Is ON A MARCH,
IT'S the First Time Since Civil War Days
and Has an Important Pur-
pose.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July "a
Without attracting much attention, prob
ably because the movement is general
and covers such a wide extent of terri
tory, for the first time since the Civil
war, almost the entire army of the Unit
ed States is on the march.
Frequently large bodies of troops have
been moved in this way, and during the
Spanish war the entire army was moved,
but in that case nearly all the men were
entrained. In the present case they are
marching afoOt and on horseback from
the various posts and concentrating at
the seven big maneuvering camps where
the regulars and the militiamen are to
train together
Officers at headquarters are not sur
prised to learn that the men are suffer
ing some from the hardships of the
march; that manw drop out from heat
and fatigue and that there has been con-
siderable loss of horsetiesh.
The fact is, as stated by Gen. Oliver,
the acting secretary of war, and himself
a veteran, that the men have become
soft" in post life.
1t is one of the principal purposes of
the marches to the joint encampments
to discover the weak spots and to season
the soldiers by approximating war con-
ditions as closely as possible. Foreign
observers of the famous international
campaign in China noted with surprise
the recl<lessness with which the Amer
lean soldiers tossed away their blan-
kets and knapsacks ana other articles Of
clothing on the famous march from Tien
Tsin to Picking The reason was that
the American soldiers had been unused
to carry any baggage; lie had left all
that to the quartermaster' wagons. Now
all this is to be changed and the regular
soldier is to be trained, like the Euro
pean soldier, to carry all of his neces-
saries throughout the days march.
1t is true his pack will not be as heavy
as the 4O-pound kit carried Dy the Euro
pean soldier. although he is physically
quite as able to bear it, but he is not TO
be allowed to discard his blanket or his
half of the shelter tent or his rations and
toilet articles and ammunition as he has
done in the past.

CHAPTER VI,


The flight of time brought no allevia-
ton to the troubles of Aureataland. If
an individual hard-up is a pathetic sight,
a nation hard-up is an alarming specta-
Gle; and Aureataland was very hard-up.
l suppose somebody had some money But
the government had none; in consequence
the government employees had none, the
officials had none, the President had none,
and finally, l had none. The bank had
a little-of other peoples, of course-but
I was quite prepared for run" on us
any day, and had cabled to the directors
to implore a remittance in cash, for our
notes were at a discount humiliating to
contemplate. Political strife. ran high.
I dropped into the House of Assembly
one afternoon toward the end of May,
and, looking down from the gallery, saw
the Colonel in the full tide of wrathfu1
defamation. He was demanding of the
miserable Don Antonio when the army
was to be paid. The latter sat covering
under his scorn, and would, I verify be-
leve, have bolted out of the House had he
not been nailed to his seat by the cold
eye of the President, who was looking on
from his box. The minister on rising
had nothing to urge but vague promises
Of speedy payment; but he utterly lacked
the confident effrontery of his chief, and
nobody was deceived by his weak protes-
tations.
| left the House in a considerable up
roar, and strolled on to the house of a
friend of mine, one Madame Devarges,
the widow of a French gentleman, who
had found his way to Nottingham from
New Caledonia. Politeness demanded the
assumption that he had found his way
to New Caledonia owing to political trou-
bles, but the usual cloud hung over the
precise date and circumstances of his pat
riotic sacrifice. Madame sometimes con-
sidered it necessary to bore herself and
others with denunciations of the various
tyrants or would-be tyrants of France;
but, apart from this pious Offering on
the shrine of her husbands reputation,
she was a bright and pleasant little wom
an. I found assembled round her tea
table a merry party, including Donna An
tonia, unmindful of her fathers agonies,
and one Johnny Carr, who deserves men
ton as being the only honest man in Au
reataland. | speak, of course, of the place
as I found it. He was young English
man, what they call a ''cadet," of a good
family, shipped off with couple of thou
sand pounds to make his fortune. Land
was cheap among us, and Johnny had
bought an estate and settled down as a
land owner. Recently he had blossomed
forth as keen Constitutionalist and
devoted admirer of the Presidents, and
held a seat in the Assembly in that inter-
est. Johnny was not clever man nor
a wise one, but he was merry, and, as l
have thought it necessary to mention,
honest.

The lettering walls and pillars and

work of extricating the bodies not only
difficult, but dangerous. The building
was constructed Of brick, concrete block

proof structure. The building gave way
on the northwest corner, the three floors
falling through to the basement, while
the northwest walls crumbled and fell
outward.
