WHAT THEY THINK OF US

Kelly, the new man that Wilmington has
been playing on third. has made some of
the old-timers sit up and take notice
zollers. the clever Wilmington left field
er, has not been able to strike his stride
since he was i'll some weeks ago.
Wilmington fans are anxiously awaiting
news from the big leagues as to what
players are to be drafted. Although Will
mington is now known as the Orphans it
is thought that there are several men on
the team who are ripe for the major
league.
Harry Hoch, of Wilmington, is betting
back in trim and may be recalled by Man
ager Murray. of the Phillies.
When the announcement was made on
Thursday that the Tri-State club was TO
remain in Wilmington although it will not
play home any more this season. there
was much rejoicing among the fans
kid Gleason has made a squirt in his
batting during the last trip on the road.
Gleason is valuable man to the Peaches.
Wilmington fans are sorry to hear of the
injury to Pete Cassidy which will keep
him out of the game at Baltimore for
probably two weeks Pete is a great favor
ite, and the fans all realize that he is a
valuable man to Manager Dunn.
The loss Of Catiz was a hard blow TO
Wilmington. Catiz was one of the few
players on the team who has played good
ball all season and who has played to win
at al times. He will. no doubt, be a great
help 10 Baltimore
The general impression among Whining
ton fans is that Topham will be drafted
by one Of the big leagues.
Chic" Hartley has picked up in his
hitting OF late for the Peaches.
Millman, evidently in a brown study
trying to figure out how his Clubs diff
fculties could be adjusted, paid slight at
tention TO the ball when it came in his
direction while stationed in right field

OUT BE-
FORE BREAKFAST
THEO WALKER LOSES HOUSE BY
FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING.
CARRIED $1,000 INSURANCE.

Consequent to work OF removing
the office of the Daily World yester-
day from the second to the first floor
of the building, the news of the fire
was unintentionally left out of last
nights paper.
The fire occurred on the corner OF
Mission and First street in the build
ing recently purchased by Tbeo
Walker of the Scheble Lumber COM
pany. At $50 the alarm was sound
ed ana within a few minutes the fire
was on the grouno. Be-
fore reaching there, however, the
fire had made such Roadway that all
of the furniture was destroyed. and
the interior of the building practical
ly burned out.
How the fire occurred is not
known. Mr.. Walker had just left
the house, and had gotten only a
short distance away when, on look
ing back, he saw his house in flames.
He carried 81 900 insurance, $3.50 of
which was on his furniture.

At The THEATRE
DIR. Jekyll and Dir. Hyde.

Before a large and enthusiastic au-
dience last night at the Hayes, Mr..
Lee Willard performed Robert Louis
Stevenson's DIR. Jekyll ana Mr.
HYDE" From start TO finish Mr.. Will
lard impersonated one of the most
difficult characters known in the act
ing profession, and what really
makes it great is that he follows
Stevenson's idea very closely. Dur
ing one or two of the many drama
tic incidents in the play Mr.. Willard
reaches that high mark of artistic
acting which is only shown by out
bursts of enthusiasm. Judging by
the continued applause and repeated
curtain rises, the audience seemed
to have than confidence with Mr..
Willard right to the end of the play,
which only goes to show that the per-
Torrance was simply great from be-
ginning to end. The company who
Mr.. Willard are well wor-
thy of mention, for they certainly
helped to make the play a great sue
cess.-Denver Post.

WATER IS
RUNNING LOW
PEOPLE IN UPPER PARTS OF

A roar came in from c street to-
day that that part of the city was
without water Other parts OF the
city have also reported shortage.
Water Commissioner Sherburne
when seen by a World man in ref
erence TO the situation said:
The shortage of water was caused
on account OF the fact that the peO-
pie have been using too much of it.
All Of the lawns all over town were
being sprinkled, and people have
been using more than they ever have
before Besides this we had a break
in the pipe
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1908-07-02

How long will the present situa-
tlon last? was asked Sherburne.
1T will last till we get the thing
regulated or till the people let up
using so much. 1t is not probable
that we will get any more supply
as our pipes are running FULL
is there any way of regulating
the amount used?''
Il do not know of any way except
we put very high rate on those who
use over certain amount. Or we
might make rule as is done in
Spokane and require that all people
using water for sprinkling lawns
shall hold the hose in their hands,"
What can the water committee
do?"
Il think there is no reason why
there should not be an abundance of
water tonight, as there was during
the early hours this morning
LATER-Since writing the above
article the council has already TAX
en- action in reference to the water
situation, and an order has been is
sued prohibiting the use of water
for irrigation and sprinkling until
next Monday e,e1ias.

Chicago, July There is being

tits a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases Ncure effected by applying

from painAwhi 1t affords is alone

vote for either Taft or Bryan II Is
hoped to get straight American"

must be filed within the next four days,
After thatfthe question OF whether the
party may use the names of electors
chosen by the two national parties
must come up for settlement. At pres
ent the disposition is for the electors
to refuse to allow the use of their
names in such a manner Unless this
is done, it is difficult to see how the
s. 'Americans' plan to get a hearing for
their votes in the electoral college can
