AMFRICUS IS LOSER IN
GAME OF 7 INNINGS
Drops the First One of
Season.

In a game of seven innings yester-
day Americus lost to Columbus by
one run, the score at the finish oi
the seventh, when the visitors were
compelled to quit the park in order
to catch their train for home. stand
ing four to three only
Columbus had piled up three OF
these four runs in the first inning
the superior playing of the Americus
team holding the visitors down to
one more run I} six innings.
Had the eighth and ninth been
played the locals would undoubtedly
have won, as Columbus was showing
evidences of weakness.
But the Y. NJ G. A team is a jolly
set of good ball tossers, and no one
here really regrets that the visitors
won the honors. They are a splendid
lot, and Americus only hopes that she
will aagin have the pleasure of play
ing ball with them.
They are foremen we'll worthy
of any other ball team.
Golden, a stocky little pitcher, did
the work for the visitors Lamar
pitched the first inning for the home
team, when Bynum took the box for
the remaining innings.
The audience was a large and APP
preciative one. Columbus had hosts
of friends in the grand stand and on
the bleachers, and cheers greeted the
Y. M. c. AS as they speeded around
the diamond in the first inning, as
throughout the game
While the sport was too soon ended
the game was one of the best played
here this season.

GOSPEL WORKERS
SOCIETY HERE
Four Uniformed Ladies

Clad in uniforms which at first

the Gospel Workers Society, with
headquarters at Cleveland, o., arriv-

The object of the visit of the Work

the afternoon, but rain interferred.
Services will be held this afternoon
by the Workers on the streets. AS
a means of making their expenses the

Before his mind failed, the old man
grieyed much over the actions of his
daughters Stories of the marvellous
wardrobes of Katherine Clemmons
Gould, her $4,000 automobile and
100000 steam yacht only served to
increase his sufferings. When his
daughter Ella became the wife of
Chinaman in San Francisco, the old
man seemed to lose his grip on life
and reason, although he thought her
career fully commendabe as, il not
more so than, that of Katherine
While one daughter was spending
money like water in the East the
other was teaching the English Ian
guage to Chinese in San Francisco
and taking care of lepers in such
hideously advanced stages that even
professional nurses and physicians
avoided service Ella resumed the
name of Clemmons and sold papers on
the streets to secure funds for her
charity work Following the earth
quake she became the wife of Sun
Yue, and for time they lived in a
tent. 1t is believed, however, that
her married existence is much happier
than that of her New York sister
On behalf of the girls it has been
said that their father was not always
kind to them and that they were prac-
tically forced to go out and combat
the world for the means to live. The
fact that the old man left an estate
of $4,000 shows that he did not need
their assistance.

through the senate with a whoop, while
Congressman Jones' bill was referred
to the house committee on appropria-
tions, where it was apparently put to-
sleep. The house committee, however.
gave birth to the omnibus public build
ings' bill, which carried an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for site for a public
building in Walia Walla. AS the house
care of Walla Walla, it refused con-
currence in Senator Ankeny's bill, and
the omnibus bill, with it's $4,000 for
Walla Walla, came up to the senate.
The senate was not entirely satisfied
with this bill, and large number Of
amendments were proposed and adopt
ed, among them being one by Senator
Ankeny for $4,000 for building and
site at Walla Walla. The house re-
fused to concur in these amendments
and the bill was sent to conference.
The senate conferees were primed to
stand pat for the senate amendments,
with the result that the amendments
remained in the bill. the report Of the
conference committee was adopted, and
when the president signed the bill, it
carried $4,000 for building and site
in Walla Walla.
If there is any political capital to be
made out of this, it would appear that
the larger portion of it belongs to
Senator Ankeny. IF we are to be CRATE
full to our friends for what they 10 for
u.s. it is clear as daylight that the
J more they do the greater must be our
gratitude In the case of the Walla
Walla public building, then, it would
appear that we have $4,000 worth of
gratitude, which, on the face Of the re-
cord, should be divided between Con-
gresham Jones and Senator Ankeny,
on the basis Of $4,000 worth to the
Yakima man and 100000 worth to the
Walla Walla senator.

TESLA'S VISION.

If Mr.. Nikola Tesla knows what he is
talking about, and the day is past TO
scorn the rrophesies of inventors. 1t
is a very foolish waste Of money TO
build more battleships and to otherwise
provide ourselves with ways and means
to conduct war along the custo-
mary lines.
Mr.. Tesla believes that future war
fare will be carried on by electrical
waves. and makes the somewhat startl-
ing assertion that "even now, wireless
plants could be constructed by which
any region of the globe might be rend-
cred uninhabitable without subjecting
the population of other parts to serious
danger or Inconvenience"
Such a performance would undOub-
eddy work hardship on those who de-
sire to win political favor by spectacu-
lar charges, but think of the conven-
fence it would be to the general staff.
With Mr.. Tesla and his switchboard as
the enlisted strength of the army, all
that would be left for the general staff
would be to direct him to open the
proper switch and the legions of the
other army would be swept from the
face of the earth. If the general staff
got wrong, as the general staff does
sometimes. it might be too late to rec
tify the mistake, but then, again. CEN
trail might be busy and there would be
no real harm done.
But ere we wander too far afield in the
contemplation of the possibilities OF
such a warfare, let US read little
more of Mr.. Tesla's plan for the flu
ture activities of man and his unseen
but powerful assistant. He says:
'It appears, then, possible for man,
through the harnessed energy Of the
medium and suitable agencies for
starting and stopping ether whirls to
cause matter to form and disappear. ~
his command. almost without an effort
on his part, old worlds would vanish
and new ones would spring into being.
He could alter the size of this planet,
control its seasons, adjust it's distance
from the sun. guide it on its eternal
journey along any path he might choose
through the depths of the universe. He
could make planets collide and produce
his sun and stars, his heat and light:
he could originate life in all its infinite
forms. To cause at will the birth and
death of matter would be mans grand
est deed. which would give him tho
mastery of physical creation. make him
fulfill his ultimate destiny
These are the most amazing state
ments ever made by man of science,
but in the light Of recent developments
who is there TO say that they are be-
yond the realm of the possible?
