WHY PREFERENCE FOR TAFT.
Sober Sentiment for the Considera.
ton OF Voters.

There Is a notable absence ina

has marked former national cam
paigns. Although III" contest has
been n Of personalities rather than
principles. the leading personalities
do not Hrousc tn" strong emotions OF
ia" past
Thus The situation is on" In which
sober men intent on doing what Is
best for the day, will WELD n mighty
power. Why Is II better for sncl
men to prefer Mr.. TAFT 10 Mr.. Bryan?
Mr.. Taft promises to b." radical In

TO which Mr. Roosevelt IL radical.
His chief cndravor will bc to ears

all this-and moro. He Is for th"
same things that Mr.. TAFT tx, and for
NOR" besides.
For instance, Nj. Taft IL pledged to
a comprehensive tariff revision. Mr..
Bryan gets AZ his goal II ialin for rev

So much for the greater sobrrncsB

THREE GOOD GAMES
Cresco Loses to Calmar and Divides
with DEBORAH.

Calmar won Thursdays ball game by
the score Of l to 0. The teams were
very evenly matched, as the score
indicates. Calmar had their much
touted 81 League man Biesser in
the box. He pitched as fine game Of
ball as one would see in major league
circles. But while talking about pitch
ers, we must not overlook the pretty
work of our own Jack Sanders. From
base ball and scientific standpoint, it
would be difficult to tell where the
great Biesser had a single thing on
Sanders. Each team got just a hits
and the very few errors were evenly
divided. Calmar was a trife more
lucky with her hits than Cresco. In
victories of such close margin there
is a limited amount of glory and in such
defeat there is no disgrace. 1t was
certainly "red hot" base ball all the
way through, it being the concensus OF
opinion that it was the best game OF
ball this season. Cresco was much
weakened by an injury to Burke whose
finger was dislocated by tip-foul il
the first inning necessitating his quit

The 4th in Cresco.

The 4th of July celebration in con
nection with the Chautauqua and the
Decorah-C resco ball game, brought al
immense crowd to Cresco last Satur.
day. Over 600 came up from DEBORAH,
and others came from as far east as
Monona, and in spite of celebrations at
Austin and Lime Springs, many people
were present for LIE Roy, Chester and
Lime Springs.
fAll day long there was plenty to attract
attention. The parade at II O'Clock
was fairly representative of the bust
ness and fraternal interests of the
town. Headed by the Cresco Band,
marched Co. "E" and they were fol-
lowed by the fire department. Both
hose carts and the hook and ladder
truck were drawn by decorated horses
and manned by members of the COM
pany. A large float carried the
States" and columbia. Among
the business houses represented were
Mott & Co., D. A. Lyons, Hans Moen,
Miller Bros. and Huesselman's Palace
Market. The Woodmen of the World,
M. w. A. and the R. N. A. were rep.
resented by floats and decorated auto
mobiles and the Woodmen Circle by a
decorated auto. A number of decorat-
ed automobiles completed the parade.
Following the parade, Co. "E'' gave
an exhibition drill and some skirmish
firing on the court house square.
In the afternoon, the street exhibit
ion, the moving picture show and the
Chautauqua program kept the people
employed until the hour set for the
ball game, when large share of the
celebrators moved to the ball park to
see Cresco's bunch of real ball players
trim up Decorah's team and do it SO
quickly and completely that the Deco
rah visitors had no use for their mega
phones in which they had invested
over $50.
Soon after supper the street pro-
gram was resumed, the Band gave a
concert, and the Chautauqua tent was
again niied: The fireworks display was
unnecessarily delayed and was the only
disappointment OF the day-it was GER
fanny cheap and those who had waited
so long regretted it. ~ '''ee'

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES.
Kidney DISEASES Cause Half the Com.
mon Aches and Ills Of Cresco
People.

As one weak link weakens a chain,
SO weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
Overwork, strains, colds and othe,
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there is an ev-
err increasing tendency towards dia.
betes and fatal Bright's disease. There
is no real help for sufferers except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
Cresco cures are the proof.
w. F Moulton, City Officer, Cresco,
Iowa, says: ''For some time contin-
ual dull ache across my kidneys caus-

The ball game the Fourth was
certainly hummer. In the first
place the crowd-and such a crowd
over 1000 people saw the game. This
large crowd occupied nearly all of the
space around the ball field. Of course,
so large crowd has it's disadvantages
Ito the "dead heads" in the road) as
they could not see much of the game.
DEBORAH certainly did their part in con-
tributing to the record breaking attend
ance; 512 tickets were sold beside quite
number in autoes and carriages. We
surely appreciate the nice bunch of
people from the down river town and
it is up to us now to return the compli-
ment when at Fair time our team goes
down there. But the game! Talk
about fast base ball-we surely had it
Saturday. 1t was an intensely interest
ing game for everyone until the fatal
eighth when it was still intensely inter-
esting to all but DEBORAH sympathizers.
THE CAME IN DETAIL.
Cresco scored in the first session,
after two were dowr, on hits by Davis,
Cratzmeyer and Paley, getting earned
runs. No more scores crossed the
rubber until the 9Th, although we were
hitting the ball hard. In the 9th, Dun
lap hit 3-bagger although, because of
ground rules, he got but two bases;
Harsted sacrificed him to 3rd and
Scheutz drove him in with a pretty
single over the middle cushion. Here
it was deemed wise by DEBORAH to
substitute new pitcher. Harkins was
the victim and the slaughter was com
plete. With one down Dunlap stopped
slant with his Stats. Hits by Harsted,
Scheutz, Doherty, Sanders, Davis, and
a house cleaning home run hit by
Cratzmeyer Melted runs, a being
earned. Here again the ground rules
of 2 bases on a ball hit into the crowd
worked bad for Cresco, and "Cratzie"
had to haul up at second though the
ball went into the road-the longest
hit on the home grounds. DEBORAH
failed to get man around except in
the End. They were dangerous only in
8 of the 9 innings. scheutz pitched
his third game during the series winning
all in walk, his mastery pitching
holding the visitors we'll in hand at all
stages. Our team has been further
weakened by an injury to Paley in the
latter part of the game; tip-foul near
ly tore off the third finger nail of his
right hand, but he stuck to his post
until the finish thereby winning. the
applause of the assembled multitude
for his nerve. Below is the tabulated
score of the game.

Following the explosion the wives
and other relatives of the victims
swarned around the shaft, and, blam-
ing company officials for the disaster,
began rioting and attempted to wreck
the mine buildings.
Soldiers were called out to quell the
frenzied mob and make 1t possible for
rescuers to attempt to save the men
still entombed. In their wild rage,
however, the mourners defied the
troops. 1t was feared saber charge
might be necessary to drive them

Altogether $50 men were working
occurred. The first intimation of the
disaster received by those above
ground came in the form of what ap-
peared to be an earthquake.
The earth trembled violently for an
instant, the houses rocking as If they
were about to collapse.
In another instant flames shot out
of the mouth of the mine to great
height. The outburst of fire was fol
lowed by a low, seemingly mufRed
roar, and then the citizens realized
there had been an explosion under
ground. The rush for the mine al
once began.
The mouth of the mine was left al
most intact after the explosion. Fans
were set going, and it was cleared Of
smoke Then rescue work was started
One Hundred Killed Outright.
1t was soon discovered that at leas
100 of the miners below had beer
killed outright. Others, however. coult
not be reached, the explosion having
thrown down tons of rock and en-
tombed them in remote workings.
While the rescuers were bringing W
bodies, the families of the victims be
gan rioting, women demanding tina
they be allowed to enter the mine ant
search for husbands or brothers who
were missing Company officials tried
to calm them, but this led only to vic
lent manifestations of wrath.
1t was charged that the company
had been negligent in looking aftel

explosion would not have occurred. Al
investigation will be ordered.
