WATFRVILLE BUNCHGRASSFRS
To Play Ballard Team FOR Purse of One
Thousand Dollars

Manager Dickson last week thru the
daily papers offered to play his Bunch
gTassers," against any amateur team in
the state for $3.50 side.
The manager OF the Ballard giants
was the first to accept the Challenge
and it was finally decided to play lol
$500 a side but final arrangements in
regard to where the games are to be
played have not been made.
Later, the Everett team denoted its
willingness to play the "bunchgrassers"
for $500 a side and would play one
game in Waterville, one in Everett and
The other in Seattle but they will be
compelled TO await the outcome OF the
Ballard Waterville game.
The "bunchgrasssers" are fast lot
OF ball tossers and we believe they
will be able to hold their own with
any team in the state outside OF the
league and Manager Dickson has shown
that he believes it too.
We hope that the games between
Ballard and Waterville will soon be ar
ranged and would suggest that two Of
the games be played either at Water
Vile or Ballard as it will save lot o.
unnecessary expense.

The Bumper Crop of Douglas County

That Douglas county will have a
bumper crop this year is an assured
fact. 1t will be the largest crop ever
harvested in the county. The condi-
tons have been excellent all along
but the rain of the first of the week has
materially aided the already fine pros
poets. Whenever this country is Wis
tied by June rain you can make up
your mind that a good crop will follow,
and while the rain was little earlier
than usual and not very badly needed
it has had an excellent effect in many
places. In a few places turnout the
county the grasshoppers have bothered
some, but not to any great extent, and
the rain will have demoralizing effect
upon these-they like hot, dry weather.
In the southern part OF the county in
the neighborhood of Quincy the wheat
is all headed out-that country being
about a month ahead OF this. Reports
from every part of the county are to
the effect that there is an increased
acreage everywhere and that the crops
are looking fine. 1t is safe to estimate
that the yield of wheat in Douglas
county will be from ten to fifteen mil
lion bushels this year. With the price
of wheat soaring up near the dollar
mark this means that the farmers of
this community will be on easy street
after the crops are harvested. There is
only one fear that is generally ex-
pressed turnout the country and that is
that it will be impossible to secure har-
vest hands to take care of the crops. -

Two of a Kind
Waterville Empire.

A revival meeting was in progress
and Sister Jones was called upon for
testimony. Being meek and humble,
she said: Il do not feel as though
should stand here and give testimony.
| have been transgressor for a good
many years and have only recently seen
the light. l believe that my place is
in a dark corner behind the door. "
Brother Smith was next called on for
his testimony and, following the exam
pie set by Sister Jones, said: l, too,
have been a sinner for more than forty
years and | do not think it would be
fitting for me to stand before this as
sembly as a model. | think my place
is behind the door, in dark corner,
with Sister Jones'" And he wondered
why the meeting was convulsed with
the laughter OF those who came TO
pray.

UNGRATEFUL THIEF
SENT TO JAIL

Albert Stokes. 21 years old. in the dis
trict court this morning was sentenced
to three months in jail for the larceny
OF a watch from Miss Adine Pearson.
Stokes has been allowed 10 sleep In a
barn on the Pearson estate and allowed
TO go In and out of the house as he liked.
The members OF the family were out for
a time Tuesday and Stokes took the watch
and chain of Inspector Armstrong learn
ed that the watch had been disposed OF
and the tirnepiece will be recovered.
Where tn echain was sold has not been
learned as yet, but the police hope TO re-
cover that also In short time.
The watch was valued. not so much for
its intrinsic worth as for the fact that
IL was a gift to Miss Pearson from Pilot
j. Anson OF the ill-starred Joy line steam
er Larchmont, which went down of Block
Island last February, Pilot Anson being
one OF the many victims
Miss Pearson was betrothed TO him and
the wedding was TO have taken place this
year. The watch, TO which was attached
a gold chain. was ore OF the last presents
Miss Pearson received from her fiance,
and she priced II highly.
Stokes but recently was released from
the state workhouse. where he served six
months for vagrancy.

NOT SPEED QUESTION.
w. o. Hart OF New Orleans, La. opened
the discussion following Mr.. Barratt's S
paper. He deprecated the idea that the
great question OF divorce be relegated to
a question Of speed. He thought the rule
laid down in the Haddock case gives sat-
isfaction to all parties.
Walter George Smith of PHILADELPHIA,
who last night read paper on the topic.
spoke at some length on the matter OF the
domicie OF parties to a divorce suit and
showed the Inconsistencies OF the various
laws In the states on that matter.
The following resolution was presented
by Mr.. Smith and referred 10 the execu-
tive council TO be reported upon later in
the conference:
Resolved, that n committee be appoint
ed by this association with power TO con-
fer with the conference OF the commits
sion on uniform state laws of the United
States on the geenral subject OF interna-
tional divorce degrees and incidentally to
collate the laws OF all civilized countries
on the causes Of divorce and divorce pro-
cedure."
