A Series of Good Games.

The members of the Scooba Base
ball Club went over to GAINESVILLE,
Ala, Wednesday of last week, re-
turning Friday, and while there
played three games with the Gains
vile team, in each of which they
acquitted themselves well.
AS ''rooters'' for the Scooba club
they were accompanied by Messrs.
j. Il. Dudley, James Adams, Bruce
Sibley, Alvin Rosenbaum and Pow
ers McCrorv.
The personnel of the Scooba club
was as follows: Howard Nicholson,
pitcher and 3rd base; John f. Car
ter, catcher; Milton Nicholson, short
stop; Howard P. King, 1st base; j.
A. Oubre, End base; Guy j. Byrd,
left field; G. Gilbert, centre field; 0.
Harmon, right field; Oliver East
land, pitcher; James Carter, right
field; Dan Kerr, left field.
The first game was played Wednes-
day evening, the batteries being
for Scooba, Eastland and Carter;
for GAINESVILLE, Greenlee and Green
lee. 1t was comparatively easy
sailing for Scooba, the score at the
close of the game being 10 to 4, IN
favor of the visitors. Ollie East
land, who pitched this game, re-
turned home that night.
The batteries for the second game
were-for Scooba, Nicholson IN
Carter; for GAINESVILLE, Evans David
and Hillman. The two last named
are semi-professionals, being mem
bers of the Demopolis club, and this
was ''the" game of the series. Many
brilliant plays were made on both
sides, there being eleven innings
played and the game being called
on account of darkness. The score
was 5 to 5.
In the third game the batteries
were-for Scooba, Nicholson and
Garter; for GAINESVILLE, Greenlee4and
Greenlee. This was won easily by
Scooba, the score being II to 6.
The Scooba crowd are unanimous
in the statement that they received
the mostcourteous and kindlVtreat-
ment at the hands of the good peo-
pie of GAINESVILLE, and THE HERALD
takes occasion to return most hearty
thanks therefor.
It is probable that q return series
of games will be played here later.

Miss Hutcherson Entertains.

Monday evening, August 26th, was
the occasion of an entertainment
given by Mss Lulu Hutcherson to a
few of her friends, in honor OF her
visitor, Miss Adams, of Scooba, Miss.
The guests we're welcomed by Miss
Hutcherson, who conducted them
to a table, where they were served
with refreshing punch by Miss Lora,
one of the charming sisters OF the
hostess. In the parlors, the hostess
showed herself q mistress of the art
Of entertaining. After enjoying dit
ferent games, the guests entered IN
to a rare and most delightful contest
in guessing the articles advertised
by seeing on the pictures that usu-
ally accompany the advertisements.
The results showed that the ladies
were much more careful observers
of the advertisements, but oneof the
gentlemen fortunately secured the
body prize.
Later in the evening refreshments
we're served by Miss Bessie, another
~queenly sister of the hostess. The
evening passed alftoo rapidly, and
the guests were loathe to leave the
delightful company of Miss Hutch
erson and the charming Miss Adj
ans, her guest of honor. Most pleas
ant memories of the little party will
recur to all who we're present.
The foregoing is taken from a re-
cent issue of the Pontotoc Advance
and is descriptive of one of the de-
lightful entertainments given bv
Miss Lulu Hutcherson, who will be
remembered as the accomplished
and popular teacher of the interme-
date department of the Scooba
Graded School las6session, to Miss
Loula Adams of this place, who was
recently her guest.

Cyclone Plays Havoc.

Douglas, Wyo.-Ten men had a mar
row escape from death recently, when
cyclone completely demolished the
buildings and shearing pens of the
Card Sheep Company at Shawnee
Springs, Northwestern siding
twenty-six miles east of this place. One
man, E. r. GriZe. was seriously injured
and was brought to the hospital here
He has a broken shoulder. numerous
scalp wounds, one of his ears is almost
severed. and he may be internally in
jured. The nine other men all received
injuries, but none were seriously hurt
The loss to the Card company will
probably total $4,000.
The employees of the Card company
were sitting at the ranch building, hav.
ing just finished dinner. when the cy.
clone strrcx the structure. The house
was picked up bodily and hurled from
its foundations. 1t then began 10 turn
end over end. During the first turn
the roof came off as it struck the
ground and the ten men were left
sprawling on the ceiling, while the re-
mainder of the building was taken
some distance and was then torn to
pieces by the twister. Had not the roof
come of every man would have been
killed.
In addition to the dwelling. all OF
the shearing pens, corrals, COW sheds
and other improvements of the Card
company were destroyed. The cyclone
destroyed telegraph and telephone
communications and whether or not
similar damage or fatalities occurred
at other ranches had not been ascer.
tanned up to midnight.
Soon after the passage of the cy.
clone the employees of the Card Com.
pany tagged Northwestern train and
1t was on this train that Grize was
brought to Douglas. State Veterinary
w. F. Pfaging. who was on the train,
left his emergency kit with the other
injured men, who remained to care for
the sheep and they dressed their own
wounds.

Buffalo Bill Stands Pat.

his investigation into the Howard
Gould separation case. and the alleged
use of the central Office detective bu-
reau by Howard Gould against his wife,
Commissioner Bingham personally WIS.,
tied Col. William F. Cody (Buffalo
Bid in Brooklyn.
The commissioner asked Buffalo Bill
to give him the names Of the detectives
who visited him in the guise of ennis
saries of Howard Gould. Cody said
these detectives had first visited him
in Denver, where he was offered $10,-
900, and later $25,O00, If he would make
certain statements concerning Mrs.
Gould. Subsequently, when he reached
this city, other detectives visited him
at the Hoffman house and endeavored
to get him to do virtually the same
thing.
He told Bingham he had referred
these men to his lawyer. Seldom Ba-
con, but he could not remember their
names. The commissioner was told
that he might ask Mr.. Bacon for the
names of the sleuths and that Cody
was quite willing they should be given.

Concord, N. H.-A letter from Mrs.

Alfonso Rio cristine, Etc.

Madrid.-Alfonso. prince of the Aus
trias, was baptized in the private
chapel of the royal palace in the pres
ence of the royal family, the state and
court officials, the representatives of
the foreign powers and host of gran
dees. The pope was represented by
Cardinal Rinaldini. King Edward by
Prince Arthur of Connaught, Emperor
William by Prince Leopold of Hohen-
Eollern, Emperor Francis Joseph by
Archduke Eugene of Austria, and King
Charles of Portugal by the Duke Of
Oporto.
The greatest watchfulness mas been
exerted over the baby prince since the
hour of his birth, special guards having
been stationed outside the bed cham
ber, for Spanish custom does not per-
nit any possibility of a change being
foisted on the nation. The task of the
watchers was not over till the infant
became the central figure of the brill
liant scene.

Through an appeal for funds to CON-
plete the restoration and repair of the
Church Of ST. Michael and All Angels,
In the parish OF Dartmoor, England,
an almost forgotten bit of history has
been called to light. The church.
standing on the rugged heights Of that
wild country which Blackmore made
SO familiar through "Lora Doone," is
the most elevated house of worship in
all England, as the village in which 1t
stands is the highest inhabited village
in England, and the parish, which
contains 10000 acres OF moor and
heath and stream is the largest in
England. But it is in its origin that
the church Is most interesting, says
Youths Companion. Built in the early
years OF the nineteenth century, the
stones of which it is made were quar-
ried and put in place by the labor OF
French and American prisoners Of war
held there in exile while Europe shook
with the thunders OF the Napoleonic
wars. The graves Of many Of these
exiles still cluster round tho old
church.

REDUCING RATES

Evidently Going to Bring Success
And Benefit Colorado

Denver-Some of the express
rates from Eastern points to
Denver have been reduced al.
ready as an admitted result
of George J. Kindels crusade against
the five great express companies, and
the case has not yet even come up for
trial before the interstate commerce
commission.
IF we can achieve such concessions

ing, who has charge of this case for
Kindel.
Starting out to secure lower railroad
freight rates for Denver, Kindel has
added to his original program a fight
for lower express. Now two OF the
express companies have answered the
complaint and both aver that the ex.
press rates "are dominated and con.
trolled largely by the freight rates
of the various lines" Concessions IN
freight rates have been secured on
many items as one of the results OF
the Kindel suit, and the express com
panies are now following the example
Attorney Vogl charged in the com
plant that the express rate from New
York to Denver, on through ship
ment, was greater than the rate from
New York to Omaha, unloading and
reloading and shipping the article
from Omaha to Denver. The expense
of unloading and reloading is consider
able, but in the face of this expense
he asserted it was cheaper to send
goods in this roundabout way. He
cited the rates on a package weighing
forty pounds as the particular in
stance on which he based this charge
The Pacific Express Company In
the answer just flied with the Inter
state Commerce Commission, a copy
of which has been sent to Kindel
says:
This defendant admits such dis
crepancy did exist, but AYERS that il
has changed it's graduated scale SO
that the charge from New York tc
Denver on forty pounds will be $3.75
or 10 cents less than the sum of the
locals"
All the express companies made low
rates on seven pounds or less in order
to take as much business as possible

In reply to charge of discrimination,
