prevent the overflow of the

wish to attend the assembly.
The attractions will all be
high class this year, and with
the exception Of Rev. Frank

The bali game yesterday
while not an exhibition Of sterl-
ing base ball did show what the
"boys' can do when they have
their batting eyes with them.
1he final score was ID to 8 in
favor Of the home team and
does not indicate the visiting
team were walked on for in
place of the 8 scores the visiting
team should have had but L.
The boys loosened up in the 8th
inning and gave the Guards a
present Of 6 scores and also in
the 9TH a few errors and a hit
gave them another.
That 7th inning was an ex-
hibition of "back lot" base ball,
and cid certainly contain all
the necessary features. The
home team played good ball
with the exception Of the 9Th
inning and the slowness that
marred the game at different
times was not due to them but
the visitors who were complete
ly out classed at every turn and
were not equal to the occasion.
The boys have a good team and
ought to be successful but from
the spectators view we say "get
stronger opposition"

Work on Big Dire dge


ID. A. Butler who built the
dam back of the big dredge
completed it on Saturday even
ing and on Sunday a pump was
put to work emptying the
water from the pit around the
dredge. The work with one
pump was found to be slow and
a second and a larger one has
or will be put to work. The
ruin of Monday and Tuesday
had a tendency to retard the
work of pumping.
The wrecking of a portion Of
the conveyor machinery made
it necessary to order some new
works from the factory, if this
is forth coming in a week or
two the dredge will be put to
work as speadily as promised.
The contractors are most anx-
lous to get the dredge ready
for business again, for this
lost time is annoying and very
costly. -Onawa Democrat.

to their intelligence and not their
prejudice. He has not indulged
in personal abuse of his oppo'
nent, as has the latter ag ainst

Democratic Prospects

Going back into history a little
bit, it will be seen that whenever
a panic occurs, the next presi-
dental election goes against the
party in power. The first great
panic we had was in 1887 which
resulted in the complete route Of
the Democrats in 1888 and 1910.
The next one occurred in '57
which also resulted in a republic
can house of 1867 and the demo-
cratic route of 1850, the third
great panic, occurred in 1873 un.
der Grant which resulted in the
sweeping Democratic congress
sional victory ir 1S74Iand again
in the election of Mr.. Tilden in
1876. In 1893 this country had
another severe panic and the re.
publicans then claimed that the
democrats were responsible and
so now they have to take their
own medicine and stand the
blame for the million and a
quarter of workmen that are now
out of work in our large cities
and so there is little doubt bu
that the Democrats will sweer
this country on the third of No.
yember.
Mr.. Roosevelt h as always
Dragged about being a civil ser

he offered a certain labor leader

the labor vote away from Mr.
Bryan who the labor leaders ar,
supporting. Furthermore, Mr.
Roosevelt is permitting the Re,
publican committee to hold W
the Southern postmasters anC
revenue officers for campaign
funds. A little thing like oivi
service does not bother Mr.
Roosevelt when he is trying /,
"appoint" president of tn,
