Prough pitched fine ball in this con-
test and was ably held up by Mier
who showed the Quincy fans that he
could still make living playing with
a good" team. He was loudly APP
plauded when he came to the bat for
! the first time and in sweet contrast to
the harmonious cheering he banged
out the first of pair of doubles
which he secured in the course of the
nine innings. He followed Belt close

guards for the first two rounds, final
" discarded them. He probably
thought that he had better pay all his
attention to protecting his visage as
on two different occasions the mask
saved him farom horrible disfigure-
menc.
The superiority of the Indians was
clearly shown in this last game and
the result was never in doubt. Keo-
kuk started scoring in the first ses-
sion. Oyler got his base on balls and
was followed Immediately by Annis
who doubted to center scoring Oyler.
Annis later scored when Reichle hit
sizzling grounder through third. MIL
Ter and Landry ended the inning by
flying out. For Quincy, Hill and Dang
struck out while Mertens was thrown
out by ProuEX. There was no scoring
done on either side In the second al

Keokuk scored twice more in the

quently, the water was more of him
drance than an advantage. Both teams
battled against the elements while in
dividually they battled against each
other. The wet stuff commenced fall
ing in the eighth inning of the double
engagement and continued through
the second game, it being in the
form of a steady dr:zzle and did not
make conditions SO bad as they might
have been although il made the sphere
Very slippery and hard to handle with
the result that accurate throwing was
hindered somewhat.
The first game was an eleven inning
affair with the Quincy bunch in the
conqueror's role, they getting the

the final count being, Quincy, three,
Keokuk two, although Keokuk got ell
en- hits to the Gems eight, one of
theirs was home run and another a

worked for the locals in the open
ing scene while Keyes, Prater and
Walsh did the artillery work for the
down river aggregation. Prater re-

had been put in to bat for the latter.
This game was marked by heavy bat
ting on both sides, Linderbeck's home
run over the right field fence being
the heaviest piece of stick work in
the assortment, Corriden was not in
very good trim in this game, making
all of Keokuk's errors, equalling three
and being saved from several others

RArTLERs INVADE LAWRENCE
Venomous Snakes Find Protection in
Dense Weed Patches.

Lawrence, Kan, July 24.-The res
idents south of Lawrence are grow
ing alarmed over the prevalence of
rattIesnakes in that part of town.
Two have been killed on South Ten
nessee street in the past week, and
mothers are growing afraid to let
their little children go out doors to
play.
The presence of these dangerous
snakes in town is something that has
never before been known here. 1t
is believed that the reptiles find a
harbor and place of protection in the
dense weed patches on the vacant
lots, which have grown ranker this
summer than is common in Law
renee, and have received less atten-
ton. A war on weeds is likely to
start as the first move to get rid of
the rattlesnakes.

MANY GOOD FEATURES.
Reports on Trade Conditions Show
General Improvement.

New York. July 24.-Bradstreet's
says:
Improvements in the crops, rather
better advices as to the ultimate out
come of the leading cereals, easing in
prices of bread stuffs consequent
thereon or because of larger wheat
crop movement q good distribution
at retail under the stimulus of clear
ance sales and a slight enlargement
of fall trade with jobbers and whole
salers are the leading features this
week. Connected Herewith in some
degree are the advices from leading
industries of enlargement of output,
of a continuance of the upward ten
goods, a larger demand for money for
crop moving purposes and a percep-
tibIe increase in the friction visible
between employers and employees in
a number of lines.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with July
% were 239. against 206 last week,
263 in the like week of 1908, 155 in
1907, III in 1906 and 1877 in 1905.
Wheat, including flour exports,
from the United States and Canada
for the week ending July %, aggre-
gate 933,35S bushels against LAOS
10S last week and 2,529,922 this week
last year. For the three weeks end
ing July % exports are 3,S14,079
bushels against 6.733,9S6 in the cor
responding period last year.
Corn exports for the week are 81
OS2 bushels, against 1OO.113 last week

tured from it three barrels of whisky
consigned to a well known resort that
has been closely watched by the Off
GERS for some time. The liquor was

Officer Bethel was sent to watch the
barrels, the presence of which at the
Missouri Pacific had been learned be

His official position unknown, he had
no trouble in keeping them in view
until claimed by the drayman with an
CIDER for delivery. Waiting until they
were out Of the hands of the railroad
company, he bounced upon them and
laid clai n in the name of the city.
Compton refused to recognize him as
an officer and tried 10 make a set

whipping up sharply. But just then
Marshal Mclean, who had been keep
ing an eye on the other end of the
line and had followed the wagon, APP
reared and headed him off.
Each barrel contains 30 gallons, MAX

It was at public reception that an
old campaigner whispered to me:
These Taft White House receptions
are certainly getting on my nerves. 1
went to three, and between you and
me and the gate-post, no more for lit
tie Willie
What's the troubIe?g
THE expansive Taft smile is making
me dreadfully nervous. for a fact 1t is.
These general public receptions take
of course and the callers are kept
waiting in the big room in which the
cabinet meet, and in the one adjoining.
There is, of course. always an over
flow and Standing Room Only signs
are In order.
There are two big white doors shat
connect with Mr.. Taft's private office.
These are kept tightly closed till the
suspicious moment 1t then goes like a
bit of stage scenery. The people are
all on tip-toe of expectation, and the
officials in charge are looking very
serious, and the ladies are fidgeting to
see whether their hats are on straight,
and the men are pulling at their frOck
coats and trying to look as though they
were comfortable, but of course, you
know you can't be stylish and COM
Portable in this world, in hot weather,
at least.
There He Stands.
presently, the big doors are drawn
portly man stands-with the smile that
will not wear off, come off, fall off.
melt off. wash off, dry off. bake off.
crack off, drop off, break off, twist off
or off off. It is certainly all the car
:: lists ever dreamed and a bit more.
It is as bright as the monday sun, as
wide as the east is from the west, as
long as the minister's sermon. and as
sweet as the love glances OF the maid
eE in her teens.
1.-THE plain fact laying all joking
aside, is this: The Taft smile IS a ter
rifle inf1iction for dear Mr.. Taft and
like the boy who has been praised as
good. by the Sunday school teacher,
50 Mr.. Taft, having been touted over
all the nation as wearing a bland smile,
IS now doing his level best to live up
to that high expectation on part of
the public.
And on the square. it must cost him
an inward effort! Do you remember
the character in Victor Hugo's works
who was very sad at heart, but serious
ard kindly ard well-meaning. but who
on account of a freak of nature bore
in his countenance certain grotesque
n arks that simply made every spec
tator fairly die with laughing at the
sight? On-lookers seeing Gwynplaine-
the sad-eyed serious-Eearted man, the
man who had seen the hollow side
thought as a matter of course that a
man with such a face must necessarily
be a merry soul
