RE this morning. when I called the
third strike on him he turned to me
and said. What's that?' Take your
seat 1 said. Then he invited me out
to fight with him and 1 told him to
wait until after the game and would
meet him any place he might name.
He went to the bench, but kept talk
ing to me and calling me all kinds of
names. Finally 1 fined him IS and
told him to leave the park. AS I was
turning to put my mask on he ran up
to me and swung at me but missed me
by, several feet. Then he swung again
before 1 could defend myself and
grazed the back of my head. The re-
ports that he struck me in the face
are not right. He apologiZed to me
later" Umpire Guthrie says that
Wichita is the hardest town in the
league in which to umpire. unless all
the close decisions are handed to the
Jobbers.

THROW OUT the LIFE LINE.

James c. Walters, the attorney, and
the editor Of this great moral and
semireligious hail from state where
the red raspberry is regarded with
about the same aversion the average
woman has for grub or angleworm.
In Indiana only the magnificent,
royal, and altogether incompatible
black raspberry Is deemed worthy o
place on the family festal board, and
just at present the two Hoosiers
above.named are laundering after a
sight and taste OF this luscious and de.
lightfully favored small fruit. Mr..
Walters says that even smell OF his
old.time Joy would add ten years to
his life, and for one quart OF black
raspberries he offers to let any man
cut his lawn four times. For two
quarts he will throw In a section OF
the Hyde Park canal, and for . gallon
he will present a deed and clear title
to his 5000 property next door TO the
bishop OF Logan, Hon. Geo. w. Champ.
The editor can't promise to give more
than % cents quart. or present to
the public front page likeness of the
fruit man, but we want the rasp-
berries as badly as does our friend
Walters. II there is In Cache a Saint,
Jew, Gentle, or Hottentot with a
bunch Of black raspberries to spare,
that individual will confer an everlast.
ing favor on himself and the per.
sonages named II he will out get in

THE SCHOOL CENSUS.

The school census enumerators
should be givenc very assistance pos
sible In obtaining the names Of chill.
dren Of school age. On the number OF
children reported depends the total Of
Logan's proportion of the state school
fund, and the absence OF name that
should be on the list means the loss Of
q certain sum of money. Parents
should give the name Of every child
that is or will be OF school age at the
beginning OF the coming school year,
and II, perchance, any should be
missed by the enumerators, the names
should be forwarded to Supt. A. f.
Carbon before the 3lst OF July. The
census ends on that day, and only
names listed by that time count In
securing Logan's proportion Of the
funds.
Parents outside the city now should
make haste to forward to Supt. Car
don the names OF their children, and
citizens OF other towns who expect to
send their children to the Logan city
schools this winter are also requested
to forward the names of the children
who will be sent here.
If this isn't done, Logan Is the loser
and the only recourse is to charge the
parent tuition.
Remember that the census taxing
ends on July 3lst, and that the names

duty at that time to issue a pardon
without waiting for holiday on which
to grant the clemency due at some 9TH
er time"
There has been a feeling among
those who are familiar with the Jes-
sic Morrison case that she will be par
doned before the expiration of the term
of Governor Hoch and sentiment from
all sources seems to be favorable to
such action. OF the SO jurors who
weighed the evidence in the three trials
of the case, all have signed a recon-
mendation for pardon with the excep-
ton of three. One of these is dead, an
other in the penitentiary and the third
cannot be located.
At the first trial Of the case the Jury
failed to agree. At the second the de-
PENDANT was sentenced to years in the
penitentiary and had the case not been
appealed the time of the prisoner would
have expired about three years ago as
she has been in prison for seven years
At the third trial of the case the jury
convicted and the Judge sentenced the
defendant to rs years in the peniten-
tiary and it is this sentence that she
is now serving.
The attitude of the committee fndi-
Gated plainly that they expected Gov
ernor Hoch to take immediate action
on the case on account of the condition
of the father of the prisoner. The mem
hers hoped to secure the pardon SO that
Jessie and her father could Immediate
~ start for Virginia the early home of
the family in the hopes that the life of
the father might be saved.
