GREAT BEND WINS FROM LARNEp.
ne Visitors Seemed to be InVlnclhIe
. Tor Seven Innings Then Up.

The home team won a pretty
httle game from the Larned boys
Sunday afternoon. The score
was Z to 4. A good sized crowd
; was present, and the rooters for
both teams we're much in evil
dence. 1t looked rather blue for
the Benders up until the eig ht in
ming. but then something hap
aEened. In the first inning the
first two men at bat for the visi-
tors went out. Then. how or why
we don't know. but before the
sidesswas retired they scored two
runs. From that time until the
sixth. inning neither side got a
man to the home plate safely.
Several times it looked as though
a score would be made. but al
ways at the critical time the side
would be retired. 10 the sixth
inning Putnam for Great Bend
got to'frst on a pass ball by the
catcher. He stole second, worked
down to third, and scored on a
wild throw. The home fans and
the team began to take courage
and thought they saw a chance to
win. But no more runs we're
made that hiring. The seventh
was a goois egg for both sides. In
the eight the visitors scored two
more runs. Then the home boys
went to bat. and you could see
thatathere was a fire in their eye
which meant win. Thorstenberg
was the first man up. He was hit
BY a pitched ball. Steadman a
substitute was put in as a base
runner in bis place, and he got to
the home plate. This started the
'merry-go:round. Between the
few hits our boys got, the bad
work of the visitors third base.

Obituary.

Yates Centre of the 2Sth. ult.
A notice of the death of Rev.
Hills was published by US several
days ago.
The people Of Yates Center were
greatly shocked last Monday to learn
OF the death of Rev. W H. Hills
former pastor of the Presbyterian
church of our city. Mr.. Hills was
known to have been in failing health
tor some time, but had been able to
be about as usual until only a week
before his death.when a sudden anc
severe attack accompanied BY intense
pain and suffering proved too much
in his weakening condition. Death
finally came bringing relief and rest
at daybreak Monday, June 25, 1907.
Williamson HenderS IN Hills was
born July %, l84l, in Jefferson coun
ty, Indiana where his early years were
spent on farm. He attended Han
over Academy and Mama University
and completed his preparations for
the ministry with three year course
at Western Theological Seminary at
Allegheny, Pa. He was married in
1869 to Miss Margaret Niccolls, sis.
Ter of Rev. Samuel J. Niccolls D. D
If St. Louis.
Mr.. Hills began preaching at Mt
Pleasant, Otto, during his senior yeal
seminary, but his first regular charge
as an ordained minister was at Gets.
ourg,ssPa. During the forty years OF
lis ministy Mr.. Hills held eleven
successive pastorates, the last five OF
which, covered period of twenty
ears were in this state.
AS minister Mr.. Hills was faith.
tully devot ed to his work. He wa.
aim, deliberate, considerate and
sweet spirited. He was faithful TO the
ruth. He saw the great truths Of the
Bible clearly and in humble, patient.
hopeful spirit sought to make these
truths clear and practica to his peo
Pile. In his preaching as in his pas.
I raj work there was no sham nor any
t 'erance of it. Fidelity to the truth
aud large conception of honor ard
dignity were controlling qualities in
his life. No man held narrownes, ,
Olsotry and hypocrisy in greater con
tempt. Each church he served was
madesstronger both in character and
quality of its life and in number OF
members, and in each church those
who knew him best, love him most
His WORK. therefore, while not of
the brilliant sensational type was of
the helpful, enduring type.
AS citizen Mr.. Hills showed a
manly interest in the General welfare
of his town. He was a public spirit
ed man who believed in civic righteous
ness with all his heart and did what
ne could to secure the moral advance
ment OF the community In which he
lived.
The tll.tlls. rvice was held on
Wednesday at three o'clock in the
Presbyterian church Of which he had
been pastor for about four years up
to April 1906. The service was in
charge of the present pastors Mr.
Schmidt, assistediby Rev. A. E. Van
Orden, of Ft. Scott. Rev. S. M. Irwin
of Geneva, Rev. G. H. C.. Dudly of
Garrett and Rev. F. F. Thomas of
Leroy. The Minister'S Association
of Yates Center also attended In a
body.
The service was bri,f and simple
and full of fragrance Of flowers and
love aud the friend who had gone
away.
There are five children with their
mother to mourn his loss: Miss
Martha Hills and Mrs. S. H.. Mill.
