Near-Calloway.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gallo
way IN the third ward, was the
scene on Thursday evening of last
week Of a most interesting occasion,
the giving of their eldest daughter,
Mae, in marriage to Mr.. Ray Edgar
Near, of Hurley, S. D.
At eight o'clock to the strains of
a beautiful wedding march, Miss
Edith Austin at tine piano. the
bridal party descended the stairs,
preceded by the pretty little ribbon
girls. Iva Galloway, Edna GraneY,
Esther Henkel and Grace Stone,
took position in the southwest
corner of one of the spacious par
lors, which was banked with ferns
and June roses. Above the EN-
bankment was lattice work, inter
twined with smilax and roses, and
artistic hands had made it a bower
of beauty, giving to all the lower
rooms beautiful and festive
appearance.
There were four brides maids
Berdeen and Pearl Galloway, sisters
of the bride, Essie Edwards and
Floss Bldwell. The ring service
was read by Rev. J. T. Morgans, in
his pleasing and impressive manner.
The bride was most becomingly
gowned in white organdie, lace
trimmed, and carried white roses
and the groom wore the conven-
tional black.
Congratulations were most happi-
ly showered upon the young couple.
Elegant refreshments were serv-
ed, after which there was a happy
commingling of guests and some
hours of great enjoyment.
The presents were numerous and
beautiful.
Mae is one of our high school
graduates and has been a success
full teacher.
1t was in this ASSOCIATION that she
met the young man who takes her
from Lancaster to preside over his
farm home on the outskirts of the
prosperous town of Hurley, S. d.
Mr.. Near leaves most favorable
impression on the many who met
him during his brief stay in our
city. He and his bride will spend a
week in Minneapolis and from there
will go Immediately to their home,
whence the good wishes of many
friends go with them.
Winnifred Willis and Ethel
Taylor gracefully received the
guests. Altogether it was a lovely
wedding. B. d. S.

.0V|Tz GOES TO DUBUQUE.
Swift Pitcher Who Has Been
With Platteville.
His Work Has Long Been Admired by
Lancaster's Enthusiastic Lovers
of the Game.

The following taken from the
Dubuque Times Journal of yester-
day will prove interesting to Lam
caster fans:
Manager Rowland Monday morn
ing signed Pitcher Ernest Ovitz for
the Dubuque team and he will re-
port for duty Wednesday.
In making this deal it is believed
Manager Rowland has pulled off one
of the best stunts of the season, for
Ovitz is credited with being about
the swiftest thing that has been
developed In the state of Illinois in
long time He has played with
the University of Illinois and in
exhibition games with major league
teams has managed to hold them
down to three hits. His record has
been an exceptionally good one, so
good in fact that a number of major
league teams were after him. How
ever, they were never able to make
any agreement with him and so far
this season he has been playing
with independent teams and is now
at Platteville, where he has demon
strated that he entirely outclasses
the strong semi pro teams they
have been going up against.
Manager Rowland, however,
seems to have been more apprecia-
tive of the players ability than
others who have been after him,
and Monday morning was able to
close an agreement with him.
1t is fortunate for the Dubuque
team that il has been able to secure
the services of such a valuable man
at this time as Pitcher Most will
probably not be in condition to
play for more than week after
having torn a ligament in his arm
in the game Saturday afternoon.
With Most out of the game and a
number Of double headers scheduled
for the next few days the team
would have been in a sorry condi-
ton. Now. however, with Ov1tz
on the list it is believed the team is
in better condition to win than it
has been before during the season."

GALENA WELL CLOUTED
BY LANCASTER TEAM
Both Games Easily Won by the
Home Aggregation.
Score Was 9 to 4 Monday, and to
Yesterday-WiII Play Crack
Gary Team Today.

The first baseball game of the
season between Galena and Lam
caster, was won by the locals by q
score of 8 to 4. The game didn't
bristle with any sensational bits of
fielding, not player of either team
having difficult chance. The
hitting of the locals was good, they
getting IL clean hits off the Galena
pitchers, including three doubles.
Galena opened hosllities in the
first inning by scoring three runs,
on two errors, mlsjudged fly, a
single and a twobase hit. It looked
to the spectators like an easy vic
tory for Galena. But Galena could
get only single run across the
plate, the rest of the game. This,
came in the third.
Lancaster scored one run in the,
third on double by Eggers, a sac
rifce by Friend, and double by
Gleghorn. They were unable to
score in the next inning, but in the

Galena twirler, for fair, driving him
from the box by shower of base
hits, and clout1ng his successor,
Reichenbach, until they were tired.
They scored 5 runs this inning.
Three more were added in the SIXTH
making the total of 9.
Gleghorn did the best hitting for
Lancaster, getting two doubles and
single. Eggers and Pennock
followed with two hits each, one of
Eggers' hits being two Dagger.
Ali of the other local players got at.
least single, with the exception Of.
Friend, and he delivered a neat,
sacrifice.
The locals stole bases at will off
Mcconnell, the Galena catcher, pill
fering twelve sacks during the
game. The score follows:

The Alumni M Getting.

The annual meeting Of the Lam
caster high school alumni association
was held yesterday afternoon at the
high school. There was good at
tendance and a great deal of interest
shown. proving that none had lost
their love for the alma mater. Chas.
Harper, former principal of our
schools delivered a very interesting
address. He dwelt largely on the
growth Of the educational system in
this state.
The banquet held at Reeds Opera
Housee last night proved to be the
most successful Of any given by the
association. Toasts were responded to
by different alumnus and all were
interesting and we'll received. The
newly organized orchestra furnished
he music. From year to year the in
terest in this organization of our high
school alumni seems to grow and its
permanency is practically established.

Boost, Don't Knock.

Don't get mulish. Don't roast.
Be jolly. Get popular. Push your
friends along with you and you'll IL
have the whole procession. Be a
good fellow. No man ever helped
himself by knocking other people
down. No man ever got rich by try
ing to make people believe he is the
only good man on earth.
You can't climb up the ladder OF
fame by stepping on other peoples
corns They are not your corns.
All men are not alike. Once in
a while you will find two who are alike,
but most men are different. You are
not the only shirt in the wash. If
you don't like other peoples style let
them alone. Don't knock. You will
get used to it. There is no end of
fun minding your own business, and
it makes other people like you better.
Better have other people stuck on you
than to get stuck on yourself Nobody
gets stuck on knocker, so don't be
one. Be good and patronize home
industry.

Jack Palmer impressed the specta--
tors of Mondays game very favor
ably. Not withstanding the fact
that he was pitching hard up hilE
game he spent a great deal of time,
on the coaching line, where he
worked hard to get runs across
the plate and put ginger into the

Colburn, the Galena pitcher who.
was drivSn from the box by Lancas-
ter, recently made record for him
self by pitching an eighteen inning
game for Galena against the Month
cello team. In that game he al
lowed but hits.
Pennock is generally there with a
hit at the right time. His good
work is appreciated by the fans.
A player. who blocks another
who has made a hit, when the ball
is nowhere near either, looks coarse
to any decent sport. A Galena
player tried to work that moss
grown trick Monday but failed.

Here's a Hot One.

Strange tales, that test ones
credulity, are told of the antics of
the recent windstorm in the town of
Bloom. George Cooper was living
in a log house which had frame
addition. he was sitting with his
family in the frame part when the
storm came and the plastering COM
menced dropping. He gathered two
children IN his arms and sought
safety in the log part, only to find it
gone, the logs strewr as far as he
could see. Chickens were found
cl1nging to the fence, literally shorn
of their feathers and others were
actually fiattened against tree
trunks by the force of the wind.
A milk house was picked from its
resting place and carried a long
distance, a tin cup which had been
left on a window-sill remaining un-
disturbed in said position. -Rlchland

For years we have labored to force the

STARS ARE FOR TAFT.
So Washington Astrologer Announces
After Taking a Peep.

Washington, d. c., June 22.-
Taft-Roosevelt-Ta That is
what the stars say, according to S.
Daoud, of Syria, Asia Minor, and
@ street, Washington, prognostlcator
of presidential probabilities and
astrologer. He says:
Taft will be elected-triumphant-
ly and overwhelmingly. The plane
tary conjunction existing as be-
tween the date of his birth and that
of his nomination indicates that
Taft will be elected not once, but
twice, to the White House, but he
will not have consecutive terms.
Roosevelt will be president for the
intervening four years.
In the latter part of the second
year of Taft's first term and the
first pant of the third year Presi-
dent Taft will have to struggle
with foes within and without.
I'm the middle of his term the
United States will GO to war with a
foreign power. The struggle will
be brief and the United States
victorious.
Personally, Mr.. Taft will ex-
perlence no physical danger in the
eight years he is to be president
and he will live to vigorous old
age.
There is to be a marriage of one
of his children in the White House
in 1910 / cannot say for sure that of
his daughter, but it is probable.
prosperity will increase greatly
in the next five years."

BIRDS AS GUARDIANS
OF TREES AND CROPS
Feathered Life Considered Great
Aid to Agriculturist.
Birds Consume Hundreds of Species OF
Destructive Insects and Noxious
Vegetable Growths.

One factor in the problem of con-
serving the land, the water, and forest
resources of the nation is that which
Nature has provided in the feathered
wild life. Following the conference
of Governors in Washington. officers OF
the National Association of Audubon
societies have decided to offer the CO.
operation of their oganization in this
work of conservation.
Although the workers for bird pres
eryation were not represented at the
eubelnational conclave. Government
authorities have assured them that the
protection of the insect eaters that in
sure life to the crops should be one of
the practical means to the general end.
Crops flourish and forests stand to
conserve Land and are largely through
the activities of the existing bird
guard that ceaselessly fights their nat
ural destroyers, the investigators OF
the government point out. Uniform
laws for bird protection, If adopted
would go far TOWARD shutting off
the inroads of insects and other pests,
they say, this might we'll be one OF
the first steps to be taken. te
Whit the value of the birds to
the fa Ter, orchardist, and planter
has for years been recognized, it is
believed that their importance in pre-
serving the frosts is not generally
known. According to recent report
of the government, insects alone cause
an annual loss to the trees of the
country estimated to more than hun
dred million dollars.
On the oak alone four hundred
species of insects which are sought
and consumed by the birds of the for
est, prey constantly. the experts OF
the Biological Survey have discover
ed. On the willow 1876 such species
attempt its destruction, on the pine
156. on the hickory 40, on the birch
1O5. and on the elm So Careful an
alysis of the stomachs of thousands
of woodpeckers. titmice, creepers
kinglets, wood warblers, wrens, fly
catchers, swallows, nut hatchers. and
other birds show that their constant
labor is to consume these devastating
insects.
Ranked next to the insect, are de-
structive vegetable growths and the
attcks of mice, woodrats, rabbits. and
other small animals. Analysis OF
their food show that many species OF
wood birds make away with the I'M
wholesome vegetable matter.
Hawks, owls and other larger birds OF
prey are constantly on the watch to
check the inroads Of the harmful
animal life about the trees. Robins
and other feathered races say ornith-
logists are a natural agency for the
distributaion of seeds, causing the
forest to thicken and expand.
As a natural asset and resource,
the life and labors of the birds come
clearly within the scope of the de-
claration of principles of the Cover
nors' conference, said VIM. Dutch
er, president of the National Associa-
tion of Audubon Societies, today.
I'VE agree with this distinguish
