BASEBALL GOSSIP.
(By 7 ORTIZ

This afternoon Richmond will meet
the Marion Owls, cannibais of the gas
belt kho, it is alleged, have eaten
alive several promising teams in that
section of the state. Pleased with
the work of one of his recruits, Sat
urday, Manager Jessup will sick his
other youngster, Mr.. Boyd, of Green's
fork, on the Marionites this afternoon.
A big crowd is looked for
Had T. Ritter been able to get on
base every time j. Cameron smote
out two Dagger the Rabbit would
have retired from the lot after the
game with his tongue trailing along
with his shadow. Four hits for a to-
tai of eight bases is a record not
made every day in the week. The
best part of those swats was the fact
that all of them were clean long
drives. The last one perpetrated by
Mr.. Cameron was done thusly: Mr.
Cameron: put 'er where you put the
other ones and see what / do to it."
Mr.. Grubbs: Alright, you cigar Indian
see what youse kin do wild dis one"
Here is what happened-"Biff,' like
wise crash then Mr.. Cameron rest
ed on second base.
The prospect of league ball is
most pleasing one to the local fans.
All fandom was gossiping about the
league Saturday and the predictions
were made that it would be a great
success. Manager Jessup leaves Mon
day afternoon for Muncie to attend
the league meeting. He will take one
big century note as a guarantee that
this city will stick in the organiza-
ton from start to finish.
Van Vert will have to be strength
ened if it expects to make a showing
in the Indiana-Ohio league. The team
plays pretty fielding game but they
appear to be weak at the bat
There is some prospect of the In
dianaOhio league becoming an eight
club league instead of six club league
1t is not improbable that Marion will
be admitted and there was talk at the
Indianapolis meeting of placing the
fast Dunkirk team at Muncie. Dunkirk
is not as strong as it was a few weeks
ago, having lost its star battery Hay
and Wolf. The former has gone to
Chicago and Wolf has gone to James
town.
If Tom Ritter would make a prac-
tice of beating out bunts instead of
trying to Zine 'em out" the fans are
confident he would improve his bat
ting average considerably. There is
but few players who can get down to
first any faster than the Rabbit and
he is able to lay down nice bunts but
for some unknown reason he seldom
attempts to do so.

league fans at Wheeling what real
is when he twirled for South

KANSAS NEWSPAPERS SEEN
SATISFIED WITH WATER SUIT

The Daily News of Wellington.
Kansas, has this to say editorially of
the late Kansas Colorado water suit:
The Supreme Court OF the United
States has knocked out the fake water
suit of Kansas against Colorado: The
suit was instituted and carried on Just
to give jobs to some Kansas politicians
and the Kansas legislatures did not
have the nerve" to call halt on It.
But the milk is spilt-the dog Is dead
and 80 there Is no use crying. But
there is campaign on hand right now
in which there Is a determined effort
to try to kill that kind OF state man
agement. and 1t Is to be hoped that
when the battle OF next year is ended.
the Republican party in the state will
be In the hands OF men who will be
more patriotic than the band OF loot
ers who have been In control for
years"

."Tom Johnson's Money

Inquirer
Most Unexpectedly the Collector of
internal Revenue has decided that a
form of currency in use in Cleveland
and known as Tom JohnsOn's Money!
is strictly lawful. 1t appeared to many
to be nothing more than a State bank
issue of currency, and as such taxable
at ten per cent. per annum under the
Federal statute Of forty years ago.
This law was passed to put the 0ldState
bank issues out of circulation and pave
the way for the national bank currency
But johnson seems to have been us
adroit as he was original inhis methods
and it is predicted that the country will
o o have a lot Of currency available Tor
banking purposes that is now III the
pockets of the people.
The scheme is this. When a man
deposits five dollars or any multiple
thereof in the Johnson saving bank he
gets a negotiable receipt bearing inter
est. This is a sort of compound of
check, deposit certificate, ami coupon
bond. acknowledges the debt of five
dollars and instead of coupons con-
tains a lot Of dates and figures showing
how much interest is due at the
first of each month for five Years. The
holder may assign it to any one for
its face value and interest present
worth, as tinanciers say and it may be
redeemed at the bank whenever desired
1t is simply a certificate of deposit made
negotiable and differs from ordinary
saving bank transactions in that there
is no deposit book, no notice necessary
OF intention TO withdraw. Ii the bank
is sound the notes are worth face value
and are much more convenient for The
ordinary depositor than the bank book
system, though perhaps not as con-
. duciVe to saving. In case of loss the
bank is notified and a new note issued
under bond, as the notes must be trans
ferred by signature, though this may
happen a dozen times, In other work,
this is interest bearing currency.
OF course, this does not add to the
actual amount Of money in circulation,
as every note is covered with cash, but
it practically amounts 10 this, for the
bank %reinyests the money i'll bonds and
mortga ges. The actual aid in circulation
would depend, of course, on the facility
with which they would pass current,
and the statement is that they are very
popular in Cleveland and elsewhere.
But the greatest gain comes from the
fact that the notes Can he procured at
department stores and elsewhere and
men and women can easily buy
them. They do so instead Of carrying
the currency around i'll their pockets.
1t is estimated that tie average nan
now carries in his pockets three times as
much money as he did twenty years
ago and banks have long wished that
they had the use of all that is aflOat.
Tom Johnson seems to have found
a system that will-nigh solves this
problem.

A Pretty Game

President Roosevelt made a sensa-
tional speach last week in which he ac-
cused the financiers of forcing stocks
down to discredit his administration
and that he intended to continue his
same policy during the remainder of
his term. That was chaff to blind the
people. In a few days his secretary OF
of the treasury comes forth and states
that he will deposit government funds
1.-THE peoples money gathered in the U.
S. Treasury by excessive taxationl III
the national banks without Interest," tc
move the crops. That is wheat to the
bankers and millionaires' mills.
A pretty game. Keep in mind and
See whether Mr.. CorteIyou does not
graduate from Secretary of the U. S.
Treasury to be head of a big bank OF
trust company and be rated among the
millionaires, because he knew how
to buy and sell stocks.
Most of the Secretaries of the U. S.
Treasury have feathered their nests
that way for the past forty years.
That is the way Grover Cleveland has
been able to live as a sage since
his second administration. Leslie
Shaw, Mr.. Cortelyou's predecessor,
who came from the cornfieids OF
Iowa, graduated a few months
ago to the head of a big trust company
in New York.
No matter how great a reformer a
President may profess to be so long as
he permits Wall Street ~inanciers have
a U. S. Treasurer to be their tool,
there will be little genuine reform.

A Political Campaign Begun.

With the fixing of dates for the
county and State conventions the po-
lltical campaign may be said to be
fairly started, and there win now be no
surcease Of politics until after the ides
of November. The absolute uncertainty
Of both the local and State situations
this year sharpens the interest. 1t will
certainly compel a good class of nomi-
nations.
Not in many Yeas have the leaders
of the political parties so carefully
scanned the ground for candidates for
Governor. Much timber has been
offered and much rejected, and the pro
cess of elimination is going on until
about the middle of September by the
process of sitting. Each party will prob.
ably open its convention with a settled
purpose to nominate one certain can
didate. In a year when a political
party cannot afford to take any chances
Of defeat good nominations are practic-
ally assured. That is one great benefit
of party independence.
