Preparinq for Trouble

The fight for and against prohibition
is not confined wholly IT, the eastern and
southern states, as many believe. The
western states arc now getting into the
glare and before many months things
will likely be warming up on the liquor
question in this section of the country.
Seldom day passes but that large
amount of either prohibition or anti
prohibition literature does not arrive in
Carson City addressed to local people.
Both sides are evidently preparing to
make Nevada the seat of coming strug-
gle. With Georgia, North Carolina and
other southern states carrying the white
ribbon, it is difficult to conjecture just
what the outcome will he in this country

George Gray

The democrats of Delaware have
placed Judge George Gray in the race
for the presidency. He is a clean, able
man, but the fact that he opposed Bryan
in 1896 makes him unpopular with that

0rigiu OF the Postal Card

In 1869, while Professor Emanuel
Hermann of Vienna was seeking vast
amount Of information by correspond
ence for his notable book. THE Guide
to the Study of National Economy" the
thought occurred to him that many adj
vantagcs would result from the adoption
of means of correspondence cheaper
than the sealed letter. On Jan. 2G he
went before the Austrian post director
with his idea. an open, stamped card,
and his suggestion was almost immedi-
ately adopted. Within II month the
Austrian postal authorities printed and
sold 100000 postal cards and thus
established this Indispensable means of
communication.

COPS COULDN'T DELAY
THE GAME

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 12.-
Owing to the fact that the entire
police force of Phoenix, Ariz., was
preparing for a game of baseball, it
was necessary for a special deputy
to be sworn in to take Jack Nor
gan, charged with desertion from
the navy to the military Jail at San
Francisco.
The deputy, William Rheinschild,
a tourist from the east, who is not
interested in baseball, arrived in
Los Angeles yesterday with his
prisoner, and will leave this morn
ing for San Francisco. Morgan was
recognized in Phoenix just as the
police force was leaving for Tucson
to play against the force of that
city. None of the members of the
nine were willing to give up the
game, and it was necessary to
hurry to catch the train. Rheims
child was requested to take the
prisoner to San Francisco and
agreed to do so.

R|SKED LIFE To

SEATTLE, Sept. &c. Kelt, a
cook, was shot through the left
wrist and dangerously wounded at
an early hour by bold burglar who
attempted to rob Dovell's cafe, 1921
Third avenue. After firing one shot
the thief turned and fled without
securing any booty.
Wearing black mask and dress
ed in light suit of clothes, a man
about five feet in height, who bore
the appearance of being quite
young, entered the place at 4:15
o'clock, and, pointing 80 caliber
revolver at Kelt and two other men
who were there, commanded them
to hold up their hands.
Although the other two men COM
piled with the request, Kelt, in a
desperate effort to prevent a rob-
berry, jumped toward the holdup
man and attempted to grab the
hand in which he held the gun.

dale complained to Umpire Car
ruthers but the umpire refused to
take any action so Dugdale called a
policeman and had Hurley taken off
the grounds. Although Hurley
should have been banished if he
used the language Dugdale says he
did, it is declared that Dugdale
overstepped his authority in having
Hurley removed, as the players
while on the field are under the
jurisdiction of the umpire, and his
umplets refused to acquiesce in
Dugdale's action.

GIVES LIFE in ANSWER

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Though
badly burned, John Tuck, retired
real estate dealer, returned to
burning apartment in Brooklyn for
a missing child and saved it, but at
the expense of his own life. He
had already rescued the mother,
Mrs. William Clampet, using his
coat to protect her as he carried
her down the stairs. She cried for
her child when the street was
reached. &C
Disregarding his own injuries,
Tuck hurried back and safely
brought the infant out of the house.
On his second trip he was unable
to prevent his own clothing from
taking fire.
When he laid the child in it's
mothers arms he collapsed and

ey and others who Stunned Sunday
baseball, Harry McIlveen, the new
right fielder of the Yankees, has
signed a contract which expressly
stipulates that he shall not be re-
quired to play on the Sabbath. Nc
Ilveen's religious convictions and
his determination not to play Sun
day ball have cost him hundreds
of dollars, but he never hesitated
moment to make such sacrifices
to his principles. He is of the
type of player which is increasing
each year in baseball. There are
many professionals who insist on
the Sunday clause. Sunday ball is

The government has been taking
a census of the horses of the cOun-
try and reports that there are over
100000 horses and nearly 4,O00,-
900 mules in the United States.
This is a greater number of horses
by several hundred thousand than
were before reported and indicates
that a notion that we are about en-
tering upon a horseless age is not
justified by the returns.
Electricity has relieved horses al
most entirely from their old job of
hauling street cars. This was an
occupation in which thousands of
horses used to have their spirits
broken and their lives worn out.
Now they are released for other
service perhaps not so hard. The
various kinds of automobiles have

HOUSEHOLDER
BREAKS 1T UP

Eddie Householder was the chief
offender in yesterdays game be-
tween the Indians and Aberdeen.
The big hit was negotiated in the
sixth inning when the score was
to 4. Neither side scored after
the sixth, and Aberdeen won, to
a, the hit scoring two. Califf held
the Indians down to six hits, while
the Cats thumped Soldier Thomas
for nine. The ladies day crowd
didn't know what to think when
in the fifth inning, and the score
4 to 0 in Aberdeen's favor, Califf
let up on his good pitching, and
the Cats experienced fielding
slump long enough for the Indians
to get four runs. But that was
all they got.

During McIlveen's term of serv-

him $50 every time he missed a

that amount as a bonus for every

made horses much less necessary
for another kind of service. With
the increased use of self propelling
wagons and machines in use on
farm and highway it looks as
though diminished use of horse
power was inevitable, but as yet it
is not manifest. 9ru
Doubtless the increase of the

not for the development of the vari.
Gus horseless vehicles. That the

of the enormous development in the
