But One Hit Secured.

St. Peter defeated st. James yester-
dav at st. Peter, but the fault does not
lie with Harry McCollum, who twirled
forStJames. Not hit was secured off him
during the entire nine innings, and had
it not been for errors behind "Mac" in
the fourth inning ST. Peter would not
have scored at all. He certainly played
an excellent game and he has lost none
of his old time vigor as a pitcher. He is
whrlwind and the balls that leave
his hand puzzle the batters.
Bartos pitched for st. Peter and but
one hit was credited against him. He

ton. Take it all in all the game was one

so excited did they become during its
progress. The score was | to 0. A
large crowd witnessed the contest.
The Springfield team went to Madison
Lake yesterday, and partially played a

lowing to the wetness of the ground, the
game was not commenced until $3.50 p.
Il m. The game came to stop just before
the close of the fourth inning, as the
Springfield team refused to play longer
! on account of approaching darkness. At
| that time each team had one score, and
| the Madison Lake team had two men
on bases, and two were out.

fully and have spent no time in ex-
planning how it happened or what
might have happened had the game

The men played a good game. The
work of Lortz, Keene, and Masketau
deserves special mention.
| After the rain the ball was SO slip
perry that it was impossible to control
lit, and Lortz, as pitcher, unfortunately
hit several of the boys. Spectators
should take the conditions into consi-
deration and dismiss the thought that

SMITH THINKS CITIZENS
WASTE TOO MUCH WATER
Prepares a Statement for Council Showing
Costs of Operation, Receipts and
Amount of Pumpage

Water Commissioner w. A. Smith
declares the people OF Lewiston waste
too much water, in his annual fiscal
report, which is to be submitted to the
council at its next meeting.
The report, which follows, gives the
operating expenses, cost of better
ments, receipts, amount of water
pumped and the cost per gallon:
Il submit herewith my semi-annual
report from July l. DOC. to January
/, 1907. And for a comparison, / also
submit report showing total receipts

Tor the preceding six month, making

that it shows separately. the cost OF
each particular part.

And would urge that we get this
bonding question before the people at
once.
1t is interesting to note, by refer
ring to the figures in this report, the
difference of cost Of delivering water
into the reservoirs. 1t costs So per
cent. more to deliver 1000 gallons of
water into The high service reservoir
than it does into the low. The figures
in this report will show that we have
delivered, in the last IL months. 1884,
$4,000 gallons of water to what is
known as the down town district at
d Cost OF $I'Aoe.4o or ABOUT IA cents
per 1000 gallons for power alone.
And we have delivered to the Nor
NAL hill district 237. 437, 900 gallons at
a cost for power Of $3,69213, or about
l SIS cents per 1000 gallons.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN IOWA.

With half the membership of the SUI
preme court of the state not only re-
fusing to coincide that Busse, the But
Ter county wife murderer, had fair
trial for his life, but petitioning the
executive for Communication of his
sentence, it is difficult to see how the
governor could send the man to the
s.allows with clear conscience. Buses
case before the supremeNcourt was pc
culiar The court had evenly divided
on the appeal for new trial. Just
half of the supreme Judges were so
thoroughly convinced, that they did an
unusual thing and sent up to the gov
ernor their conviction that the man
should not be hanged. 1t is terrible
responsibility tosre on one pair Of
shoulders. Further, 1t is likely that a
complete canvass of the citizens of the
state would show a majority senti-
ment opposed to capital punishment.

C'ummins did what every man of hear.

Busse killed his wife five years ago.
His case has occupied about one-sev-
enth Of an ordinary lifetime. 1t has
taken up time that might have been
better occupied. Back Of all this de-

under current Of Iowa sentiment
against strangling criminals to death
or scaffold. It is abhorrent to the
average Iowa citizen.

SECRETARY TAFT,s POSITION.

| Secretary Taft does not announce
any candidacy for the presidency;
neither does he burn any bridges be-
hind him in direct denial of possible
candidacy. In this he is astute. The
| time is too soon for announcement if
he intends to be candidate. The next
presidential campaign within the re-
publican party is likely to settle the
hopes of aspirafts in short order. 1t
will be whirlwind campaign for the
successful candidate because the peo-
pie will hold to the hope of a second
candidacy by Mr.. Roosevelt until that
hope has entirely fled. Then the Roose-
welt crowd will come to a Roosevelt
candidate with a rush. 1t may be that
William Taft shall be that candidate
Who knows? His apparent denial of
expectancy is a long way ahead Of
1908.
Possibly the portly secretary is
playing possum." He knows the eff
fort that would be put forth by For
aker and the Roosevelt gang in
Ohio to embarass his hopes and knife
him in convention. The Ohio corpora
tons are not better satisfied with Taft
than they are with Roosevelt and reg
ulatory legislation. Were Tafts name
before the people as candidate the
fiery cross would circulate among the
old guard that owned and bossed Ohio
and beacons spring up in every town
ship. The fight would be on at home
while Taft, held in Washington by his
duties, could only look on at his own
massacre.
Taft has square record the Roose-
veltian hallmark. All that he has
done has been well done. He has not
traded himself and his convictions and
fidelity to the administration for popu-
larity at home. Back Of his cabinet
record is history of usefulness and
integrity. He was an honest judge, a
capable administrative officer. He has
shown himself a diplomat. The three
great and popular figures in Washing
ton to be considered in connection
with the nomination are his chief,
himself and Secretary Root. Perhaps
Mr.. Taft is waiting to be called.
