Ladies Play Ball

The much vaunted Chicago ladies
baseball nine played game with the
twin city team here Tuesday. 1t was
lady team, and it was not, there
being four ladies playing, while the
other five were men, two OF whom
were masquerading as ladies in skirts
and wigs. They were easily beaten
by a score of II to /. Their battery
was very good but not good enough to
hold down the Sedro Woolley boys,
who are hitting the ball right on the
nose these days, and playing their
positions well. Jarvis pitched winning
ball, many times striking out the male
members, who are all eastern league
players. A large crowd was out to
see the game. The Merry Widows"
were the most in evidence, likely
getting some pointers how to play.
The bunch came to see the fun, as a
lady ball team is such novelty, and
they were not disappointed. The Sec
ond base lady Of the skirt nine
made an effort to catch a fly ball, but
it caught her in the eye instead.
Many Of the people on the ground
were in doubt as to whether it was a
skirt" or pants" playing second,
but all doubt was dismissed when the
hit one began to cry.-Sedro Woolley
Courier.

LUMBER MANUFACTURERS MAD
Viii Garry Their Rate Fight Into Politics
Have Campaign fund

A Puget Sound paper says, the
present controversy between the lum-
Der manufacturers of the Northwest
and the Hill lines of railroads is likely
to become more far reaching in its
effects than the railroads anticipated
when they decided to arbitrarily raise
the freight rates to such an extent as
too paralize the lumber industry Of the
Pacific coast. The Lumber Manufac-
turers association has gone into the
controversy in way that has shown
the Hill monopoly that it has at last
found foeman worthy of its steel
The lumbemen have decided to take
the controversy into the present
political campaign and make it an
issue. A campaign fund has been set
aside and a committee appointed to
urge upon the national conventions of
both parties to put a plank IN the
platforms favoring congressional legis-
lation giving the interstate commerce
commission the power to review new
railroad freight rates before they be-
come effective. A confidential letter
has been sent out to more than 1000
correspondents calling upon them to
urge other business men to assist in
the plan, which if carried through the
conventions successfully, it is hoped
will be the means Of heading off any
attempt of railroads to advance freight
rates. Stability in freight rates, the
letter states is what is needed more
than anything else to safe guard the
business of the country.

Rev. Henry MacIlravy, who for
several years has been the pastor Of a
Little Falls church, told his congre-
CATION last evening that he was going
to curb the gossipers who live in the
town.
He was of the opinion that in Little
Falls there are just twelve fountain
heads of gossip, and he said that these
twelve might well be matched against
all the other gossipers of the country
they having qualities and faculties
amounting to genius in gossip and at
least they would win prizes in contest.
In order to curb loose tongues Mr..
MacIhavy announced that he had de-
cided to set apart one Sunday Of the
month to squelching gossipers.
He will on that day recite the gos-
sip, without the names of the victims,
but with the names of the gossipers.
In this way the public will become
acquaintainted with the twelve gossi-
pers names, and some who are not
far behind.-Chicago Record-Herald.

The mill and several million feet
of lumber belonging to the Pittock &
Ledbetter Lumber Co., at Vancouver
Wash, was destroyed by fire last week.
Loss Sl5O,O0C. Insurance 500, 900.

A new jury system for this state is
proposed by Attorney General Atkin-
son. He suggests an adoption of the
Utah law which has been successfully
carried out in that state for several
years, and which reduces the number
of jurors in all but capital cases to
eight. The Attorney general believes
that as good results with eight jurors
can be obtained in such cases as with
twelve and that a saving of 800, 900
would be effected in this state in the
next ten years. To bring about such
a change a constitutional amendment
would be required and the voters
given an opportunity to express their
views on the proposed change.

KENTUCKY FOR BRYAN.
Democrats of Kentucky VIII Vote for
the Nebrasl1an.

Louisville, KY. June 10.-Wlth the
gathering of the Blue Grass Democ-
racy in Lexington today, In advance
of tomorroW,s state convention. 1t has
become almost a certainty that Ken
tucky's representation of 26 delegates
In the Denver convention will be
solid for Bryan. johnson has many
supporters in the state, but they are
not likely to WELD sufficient influ-
ence in the convention to overcome
the lead of the Nebraskan. Some op-
position has developed to the leader
ship of the Bryan movement by Con-
gresham Ollie NJ. James and there
may be a fight within the Bryan
ranks.
II is also understood that efforts
are to be made to inject local issues
into the state convention. This is
movement to which II is known Bry-
an objects. He Is of the opinion that
all the states and particularly Ken
lucky. should go into the campaign
on national issues and fight it out on
those lines. He evidently figures that
state issues might muddy the waters
and keep voters away from the polls
in November.

Kansas City, No. June 1O.-The
worst flood conditions since the mem-
orable inundation of 1903, prevail
here today.
The Kaw river has flooded the
west bottoms and people living in
that part of the city were compelled
to flee. The greatest excitement Is
prevailing and the water is still rising.
An all night patrol guarded the
temporary dykes that were thrown
dp to meet the high water. At day
break the water gained the upper
hand, and began pouring through a
great gap in the dykes which the
workmen were unable to repair.
The people fled with all the goods
they could carry.
The Missouri river is also rising and
men are working to prevent a flood
from that source.

New York, June 10.-The chief
topic on Wall street today is the re-
ported amicable adjustment of the
differences between Gould and Harri-
man.
1t is understood that an agreement
was effected just before George
Gould departed for Europe, covering
all the disputed points between the
two interests in the west
Gould retains possession Of the
properties west Of Pittsburg and will
continue the building of the Western
Pacific, but It will be operated in
harmony with the Hartman lines.
Under an agreement Gould will not
be able to carry out his plan for a
great transcontinental line because it
provides he will not cross the Alle-
ghenies with western connection to
join the western Maryland line.
What effect this agreement between
the two railroad interests in the west
will have on the contemplated new
lines in Oregon, is unknown.
