The Schools and
An Athletic Park.

The schools in Pensacola will be
one of the greatest beneficiaries if
the contemplated baseball park is
built.
To-day physical culture has an inn
portant place in school study. But
the progress of the pupils is shown
only in the organization OF football
and baseball teams, and the several
games such teams play each year.
For several years there has been no
suitable park at which to hold these
contests. Out of the city teams have
been brought to this city at a loss,
because admission fees cannot be
charged and collected, except those
tickets sold in advance by the pu-
pills of the schools.
An athletic park would remedy
this. Throughout the school year
football and basket ball could be
played, and the expenses of foreign
teams paid. Field and track meets,
could be held, the entries of which
could be comprised of the pupils of
all schools, if such a park is built.
In this way athletics in Pensacola
schools would be greatly encouraged.
Tonight a meeting is to be held at
the Chamber of Commerce, for the
purpose OF procuring money to build
an athletic park. Every person in
terested in out of door sport should
be present The schools should be
represented, the Y. NJ c. A. should,
and will, it is understood, be repre-
scented, and every baseball fan in
town should attend the meeting. The
park means much to the city.

A more or less acrid discussion is
Liquor interests have contributed TO
help carry Florida for Gilchrist.
There seems to be no reason for any
one to get unduly exercised over this
material. The fact remains, and a
blind man could see it, that the
Liquor interests are supporting the
gentleman from DeSoto to the best
of their ability. The extent of their
support is really a minor matter.

injected into the canvass, We really
do no: know-eXcept that john Stock

responsible parties in sight in the

 SURE OF VICTORY
Managers of Independent Can didate are JubiIant at Re-
 suit of Canvass

Fairbanks, July 29-Judgc Wi clcr sham's supporters assert that q care full canvass of the Panama district shows majority of votes for him over all other candidates combined. The reception given to him at the antilica- tion meeting is pointed oas evidence that the district is all Wickcrsham. On the stage were nearly all the pro fCSSiOnal and business men and mine operators of Fairbanks and many from out of town points. The hall was packed to the limit and many persons were unable to gain entrance.
 In his speech Wickcrsham attacked the daily newspapers of Fairbanks, although he said he rather admired the Times for the consistent fight it had made upon him for years. The News, he said, was q profcsscd rcpub- liCan paper for revenue only. It sold out tO thC mine owners for 5000 last winter, then sold it's columns to Clum- for $500 and finally deserted Cum to support Corson for d larger price. He criticised the daily papers severely for printing forged tclcgrams purpOrt- ing to come from Southeastern Alas ka adverse to him.
 Judge Wickcrsham also criticisC d John COrSOn's favorto territorial gov crnmcnt plank advocating the cX- tension of the ordinance of 17ST tO Alaska, saying that it is an cquivocal declaration intended tO deceive the l people.
 ! A largo crowd of friends went with 1 WickOrsham to the boat whcr Inc sailed for Nome. Tclcgrams from there say that strong Wickcrsham club has been organized at Nome and that all active fight will be made foI ! him all over the peninsula.

ported that his disappearance dated from Thursday night but this was a mistake.
 Aside from the murder theory, the only hypothesis on which the disap- pearancc of Sall can be accounted for is that he started for walk and was overcome by vertigo, to which he was subject, and either fell oyer board or is somewhere in the brush. 1t is believed that this latter is not the case for since Monday syste- matic search has been under way and most of the territory between the mountain on one side and the Lallc stream on the other has been thor oughly gone over.
 The opinion is that Saps body is in the bay, for it is pointed out that had he been murdered such is the disposition that would have been made of the remains, and Chat fail urc to find the body indicates that if death came by reason of a sudden illness it came while Sall was either on one of the wharvcs or near the glacier stream, and that he fell into the water.
 There is one circumstance in con nection with tho disappearance of Sall that his friends desire cnlight- ment upon and this is the identity of two women and man who on Fri. day afternoon called at the Valdc2 hospital to see Sall. Sall had left the hospital some time before that and the visitors were so informed. They did not leave their names nor were they known at the hospital.

New Workers Risk Life in Front of Street Cars for
 Daily Wage of S2

New York, July 3O--Thcrc is a new form of employment open for those of New York who are out of work or who arc dcsirous of spicing the monot- ony of earning their daily table de hOtc by little excitement. The em- ploymCnt in question is nothing more nor less than acting as dummy to convince the incrcdulous that stre ct car lenders really fend, and the re- muncration is $2 q day.
 A recently created city ordi nance has made it obligatory upon the trac- tion companies to provide all street cars with fender that will accom- pIish the purpose for which it is in tended and the result is that a sw arm of inventors has descended upon the traction company offices. Dunn mics have been tried before but the easy manner in which they arc saved from death beneath tho wheels of the cars is seldom duplicated in case of hu- man being; hence the necessity for mon willing to take for two per, q chance of being bumped, maimcd or killed.
 Several "dcmOnstrators as they arc termed arc now on the pay roll of one or tho other of the traction com panics and although they have gone 1 through the motions of befuddled 1 trolley dodgcr it. is not of record that 1 any has been hurt. The tests have

The annual StOckh0lders' meeting of the Reynolds Alasli:l Development Company in Seattle July 15 was held in practically secrecy and no account of it got into the city press, which accounts for the fact that nothing concerning it was wired to the Pros pcctor.

 The six Reynolds trustees are said to be the following:--P. II Rrundagc of New York, president. William Clark Mason of Philadelphia, II. M. Coilin of Philadelphia, C. M. Baldwin of New York, J. Frank Birdscll of New York, A. F. Austin of New York.
