FAST GAMES COMING
Huckleberry Boys Have Three Hard
Propositions Ahead

The local baseball fans are takinp
more than the usual amount of inter
est m the games to be PLAYED by the
home team in the near future. Thurs.
day the Huckleberry aggregation will
journey to Pittsfield with the inten.
tion of showing the shire city outfit
that the Vermonters are capable of
doing things away from home. II is
expected that the new uniforms will
be on hand at this time and the bows
will be able to look lots prettier than
when they made their former trim.
even If they don't win the game
Haynes, who has lost and won a game
to Pittsfield will be on the mound for
Bennington and will make a grand eff
fort TO give Bennington the long end
of the series
Saturday afternoon Pennington will
play the Jeffersonians at Morgan
park. For several seasons the Jeffer-
sonians nave demonstrated that they
are able to travel in fast company as
can be produced in this section. The
"Jeffs" have beaten both North Adj
ans and Pittsfield during the present
season and should put up the best ex-
hibition of any visiting team seen at
Morgan park this year.
A feature of the game that will be
of unusual interest will be the pres
ence of large number of automobiles
from Schenectady The Schenectady
Gazette is organizing a "Sociability"
automobile run from that city on Sat
urday and it is expected that at least
so automobiles will make the trip and
that the larger portion of the mach.
ines with their occupants will be pre-
sent at the game. Manager Higgins
in response to request of the Gaz-
cite manager has sent 100 tickets to
Schenectady to be distributed for sale
among the automobilists at the rate
of two to each car.
Corey will pitch the game with the
Jeffersonians and will be supported
by the regular team.
On the following day Bennington
will play the North Adams team at
Tudor park. Upon their last appear
ance in Bennington the Tunnel Dig
gers appeared to think that the local
outfit was sadly outelassed and the
score for the six innings that were
played indicated that hey had a lie
ence to such an opinion. There is
little likelihood. however, that Mana
ger Flaherty's hired men will be al
lowed to retain this impression for
the Bennington team has improved
rapidly in the past two weeks and
ought to get the long end of the score.

GIRL WAS CHOKEO
AND BEATEN
TO DEAHH
Shocking Crime Committed in
Rochester Cemetery
VICTIM ONLY II YEARS OLD
Anna Schumacher Was Arranging
lowers on Fathers Grave When
Assault Was Committed

Rochester, n. Y, Aug. 10.-Leaving
her home early on Saturday afternoon
to place flowers on the grave of her
father, pretty Anna Schumacher, sev-
enteen years old, who resided with
her mother at 1872 Cady street, this
city, was attacked by one or more un-
known men, criminally assaulted and
after a desperate fight was murdered
Ilel body was dragged outside the
cemetery to a depression i'm a lonely
SPOT and covered with thin layer OF
earth and leaves.
The body was discovered by con
stables of the town of Greece. who
found marks of a struggle in the
Schumacher family plot in the Gene
teryI where the flowers placed on the
fathers grave by the girl were still
fresh They followed the marks and
were further aided by the nnding OF
a shell hairpin worn by the girl a
piece of the girls white dress sticking
out of the new earth was all the clew
the officers needed to the location of
the body
A superficial examination of The
body led the police to announce hat
criminal assault had preceded The
murder Particles of what looked like
skin were found under the girls fin
ger nails indicating that she had
fought her ASSISTANTS and scratched
them in her desperate resistance.
The spade with which the murderer
or murderers covered up the body of
the victim was found nearby 1t was
hecked with grain, showing that it
had been stolen from some nearby
farm. 1t now serves as a possible
Glow.
The police nave ordered a roundup
of all the employees of the cemetery
They will be carefully examined for
finger nail marks and closely ques-
toned.
1t is the theory of the police that
the girl was attacked by tramps or
yeggmen, the vicinity of the cemetery
where the body was found being a ia
vorte loafng ground for itinerant
vagahonds and criminals.

THE COPPER MARKET
Something About the Ely Central
Which is interesting


Which is interesting
That Ely Central, the stock of
which has been figuring so conspicu-
ously on the New York Curb during
the last few weeks, with advances
| from around so cents to sales as high
as $lA under tremendous demand,
is likely to be as prolific of surprises
in Physical way as the stock has
been in market way, is the belief
of Oscar A. Turner, president of the
company In an interview this week
| Mr.. Turner declared 1t to be his be-
lief that with development at great
depth the richest ore yet found in the
Ely district will be found in that part
of the Ely Central estate which lies
between the two sections of the Ne
yada Consolidated estate. Vita a
map before him, showing how the Ely
Central estate divided the Nevada
Consolidated in half, Mr.. Turner said
"On the west of this portion of the
Ely Central estate the Nevada Consol-
dated has developed its tremendous
reserves at Copper Flat, where it is
mining by steam shovels. On the
east it has blocked out 100000 tons
OF ore in the Star Pointer workings,
tlis ore being of higher grade than
that in the Copper Flat section.
THE ore in the Copper Flat sec
ton of the Nevada Consolidated pit
ches to the eastward, while that dew
eloped in the Star Pointer workings
pitches to the westward. 1t Is my
theory, and in this l am supported by
Andrew c. Lawson, the geologist who
made an extensive study of the for
nation and ore dispositions of the Ely
district and whose report appears as
one of the publications of the Univer-
sity of California, that where the
southerly part of the Ely Central es-
tate now lies was originally a deep
gulch. dividing the two sections of
what is now the Nevada Consolidated
estate.
I'm the geological changes which
have taken place. in the ages, this
gulch was filled in, but during the fill
ing in process there was teaching of
the values from the east and west and
toward the bottom of the gulch. La
ter the gulcn filled in and finally there
was a flow of rhyolite which changed
the entire character of the surface.
but this flow of rhyolite did not
come until after the water and other
actions which influenced the teaching
of copper values had caused the great
err portion of those copper values to
pass down into the gulch, following
the line of least resistance. The re-
suit, in my opinion, is that while to
the east and west of us, the Nevada
has great prophyry de-
posits carrying comparatively low
values in copper, the highest values
of the districtc will be found at depth
on tnis part of the Ely Central estate
in and under what was formerly the
bottom of the gulch in which the
teaching process deposited the great
err part of the mineral of the district.
[ may be mistaken in this, but L
would be willing to stake my reputa-
lion as a mining man on the asser-
ion that when we get down below
the rnyolite and the other everything
we will find in that part
IF the Ely Central estate lying be-
tween the two sections of the Nevada
the richest ore which
will ever be produced in the Ely dis
riot"

Quite Sufficient.

important business. During the
afternoon he noticed, in the OPP
posite section of the Pullman, a
sweet'faced, tired-appearing wo-
man travelling with four small
children. Feeling sorry for the
mother he soon made friends
with the little ones.
Early the next morning he
heard their eager questions be-
hind the curtains of the berths,
and the patient Yes, dear" of
the mother as she tried to dress
them; and looking out he saw
small white foot protruding be-
yond the opposite curtain.
Reaching across the aisle he took

This little pig stayed at home;

The Combat Between Right and wrong.

The best method of fighting
evil is to fight it with good. If
you want to have your children
choose the right, illustrate it to
them. If you want them to
avoid bad books, place good
books within their reach. If
you want them to keep away
from the grocery or the saloon
at night, make the home so
cheerful, make their companions
so welcome that they will prefer
the home to the saloon or the
grocery.
Make the good attractive
Make it cheerful That is the
nature of good, and when evil is
cheerful and attractive it has
stolen the garments of light.
"One nail drives another out. "
Drive only those that are clean
and straight and strong.
If you would rid your garden
of weeds, cultivate it thoroughly
and then plant it with the things
that you want. Keep down the
weeds for a while and then the
grain, fruit or vegetables will
outgrow them.
If your children do not find at
home what they want, they will
seek it elsewhere. Elsewhere
they will be misled and deceived.
They will take evil for good, not
from choice but from ignorance.
Teach them to know the distinc-
tinction. Let them feel it in
your own daily life. Illustrate
to,them by example the value of
industry, of self-restraint, of
courtesy and kindness, of I'M
seltishness, of tolerance of good
feeling, of helpfulness.
Give them work to do but do
not exact too much of them.
Idleness is the source of most
evils and of most diseases of the
body and mind; but so balance
the pleasures of life with the
duties of life that the duties will
be pleasure and the distinction
between the two in time will fade
altogether away.-Fort Worth
Star.
