The Games at Greensburg.

The Columbia baseball team met the
Greensburg club, on the grounds of the
latter last Saturday, forenoon and af-
ternoon. The game in the forenoon was
interesting and exciting from start to
finish and was witnessed by quite a
crowd of people. At the close of the
ninth inning it was tie and the game
proceeded until the close of the eleventh
inning with no change. The contest was
called draw and the boys went to din
ner. Romie Judd pitched this game for
Columbia and 10 nj. Rosenfield caught.
The afternoon game was called at
2:S0. Will Young in the box for Co.
lumbia, Rosenield behind the bat.
Greensburg club was in fine shape, and
its extra good batting soon convinced
our boys and the spectators that they
would come out victorious. The con-
test closed, Ia to in favor of Green's
burg.
The features of the game were a sen.
sational catch by Bingham Moore, and
Rosenfield's catching and throwing to
second. )
The Greensburg club treated our boys
royalty and notwithstanding they were
defeated, they are highly pleased with
the trip Mr.. Tim Cravens umpired
both games in satisfactory manner.
The following tables show the games
as played:

To The Voters Of Adair County.

am a candidate for jailer and ear
nestly solicit your vote and influence.
MY REASONS FOR RUNNING.
The Republican candidates for the
nomination for the different Offices in
Adair county which were to be nomi-
mated at the primary election which
was held on the Oath day of last April
went into a sworn obligation not to use
money or whisky Or permit tn cir
friends to do the same in order to in
fluence voters in said primary election.
l proceeded to canvass the county ask
ing my friends to support me and at
no time did / offer to buy or agree for
any of my friends to use either money
or whisky to influence voters for me.
l made an honest fiat footed race
from beginning to end. On the other
hand | have sufficient evidence to con-
vince myself that my opponent, Mr.. A.
w. Tarter, did use or permitted his
friends to use money and whisky to
influence voters in said primary election
and expect to prove this to the peo-
pie. To the ones who supported me 1
am truly thankful because l know that
none of them had to be bought. To
the ones who did not support me have
no i'll feeling but only ask all to thor
oughly consider the matter and decide
which Of us is the most worthy of your
support.
If had been defeated in fair way
l would have stepped down and out
without word, but under the circum-
stances l consider it my privilege to re-
main candidate. Owing to the fact
that am SO often asked by my friends
whether or not expect to run, l do
hereby make public announcement of
my candidacy. Yours truly,
J. K. P. Conover.

These are the main points outlined
by President TAFT as likely to be
touched on In his next annual messag &c.
They are among the important legls-
lative needs Of the country today As he
sees them. Undoubtedly between now
and the time the message is presented
other matters will be added. but i'm these
points he has undoubtedly skotched
the nucleus of his message
OF these il is interesting To note that
nearly all may have been suggested
and must have been Influenced by his
trip around the country, just complet-
ed The need OF conservation of re-
sources and reclamation of arid lands
was especially emphasized by his visit
in the west and but for this might not
have been touched upon. He must al
so have heard much of monetary re-
form and OF postal savings banks on
his trip. as well as of the delays in the
sustaining of the action of the inter-
state commerce commission. Reform
Of legal procedure is an old hobby of
his, on which he has frequently touch
ed before.
His recommendation on the conserv-
alton Of resources, in the form men
TONED, will meet with ready approval.
It IS evident that the government
should not dispose of valuable water
sites. coal lands and phosphates on
ordinary homestead terms, thereby
throwing into the hands of private in
dlyiduals for practically nothing great
stores Of wealth. any more than a pri-
yRte firm would DO so.
The postal savings bank recommend
alton will probably excite much inter-
estlng discussion. The interstate com
merce law reform win give congress
much opportunity for careful investi-
cation and should be adopted. Mon
etary reform is already in the hands
Of a committee which may not be pre-
pared to report for some time yet. Re
of arid lands is also a matter
that should receive the most careful
attention.
