NEW BASKET BALL RULES.

The rules governing the game of
National committee of six. The
changes adopted are numerous. I'm
der the new rules the umpire's duties
undergo a slight change. He is no
longer supposed to watch the man
with the ball and his opponent but
the other eight men in the game. The
holding and rough play which have
developed as a result of the fact that
both the umpires have in the past
watched the struggle over the ball
will, it is expected, be eliminated by
the new ruling. This will also make
the referees work harder than ever
to catch fouls.
In the future the score-keepers will
be obliged to compare the score after
each goal, and in case they do not
tally call the referee Immediately. The
committee made change in the
rules for dribbling which is of great
Importance. Now, if the player who
is dribbling the ball down the field
stops and holds the ball at rest In
one or both hands he will be obliged
to throw it for goal or to another
player. If he wishes to continue the
dribble after stopping he must keep
the ball bouncing up and down as he
stands.
Formerly If three players put their
hands on the ball at once. the side
having two men touch the ball fouled.
Now if two players are struggling for
possession of the ball, third man
who comes into bodily contact with
either of them is penalized, but ne
may reach under them and secure the
ball without a foul If he does not
touch them.
If the referee calls "Play ball." ani
the members of a team, for some rea-
son, fail to take their places at the
end of the minute, the referee will
throw the ball into the air and the
play is started anyway. An important
change was made in the boundary
line. In the past the line has been
inside. Now any player or the ball
touching the line at all is outside.
The ball is outside of a player stand
ing on the side seizes the ball or il IL
thrown to him. Glass backgrounds
for the baskets are legalized under the
new rules. There have until now

THE owELL ARMoRED" MAN.

Whether we regard life as a lane
leading to a dead wall--a mere bags
end. as the French say-or whether
we thing of it as a vestibule or gym
nasium, where we wait our turn and
prepare our faculties for some more
noble destiny; whether we thunder in
a pulpit, or pule in the atheistic po-
etry-books, about its vanity and brew
ity: whether we look justly for years
Of health and vigor, or are about to
mount into a bath-chair, as a step to
a hearse: in each and all of these
views and situations there is but one
conclusion possible that man
should stop his ears against paralys-
ing terror. and run the race that is
set before him with single mind.
As courage and intelligence are the
two qualities best worth good mans
cultivation. so it is the first part OF
intelligence to recognize our precar-
ious estate in life, and the first part
of courage to be not at all abashed
before the fact. A frank and some
what headlong carriage, not looking
too anxiously before, not dallying in
maudlln regret over the past, stamps
the man who is well-armored for this

from Rathdrum yesterday at Rath-
drum by a score of s to 6. The
grounds were in poor condition and
both teams made numerous errors

NOW ON STRIKE
Millions Of StOmachs Refuse TO do
Their Work Properly.

All over this broad land millions Of
stomach owners are being held in
humilatlng subjection just because
they are 50 stubborn that they will not
accept a fair, square and broad mind
ed offer.
Life is short for all Of US; 1t will be
shorter for those who let their stom-
achs go from bad to worse.
Tallman & Co. have a famous pre-
scriptiOn called Mi-o-na and they be-
lieve so thoroughly in its remarkable
curative power that they say to every
owner Of distressed stomach that
they will guarantee Mi-o-na tablets
TO cure acute or chronic indigestion
and all stomach ailments or money
back, and the price is only so cents
a box.
And still there are stubborn people
right in Pendleton who wont accept
this offer but continue to suffer from
gas on stomach, belching Of sour food,
stomach pains. foul breath, dizziness,
billiousness and headaches just be-
cause-just because-that's all, there
is no other reason.
Mi-o-na tablets stop dyspeptic
agony in five minutes; they cure OBJ
stinate cases Of indigestion and turn
the old stomach into a new one in a
few weeks-or money back.

hit AND RUN" PLAY.

"The hit and run play is a neces-
sary factor in baseball game" says
Connie Mark of the Athletics. "T
will say to aspiring teams: Learn the
hit and run and then you will always
have them guessing, which is one Of
the best things in baseball to do. With
sacrifice and hit and run properly
mastered you have the best scoring
system yet devised, especially if your
men are fast enough to steal base
once in a while.
Let me explain a few features
about hit and rum, for it is the most
important piece Of tactics in baseball.

in Seattle and has not yet made up
his mind what he will do.
The absence OF the steady players
above mentioned viii result in the
complete reorganization of the college
team. and it is matter of speculation
in Pullman as to how near cham
pionship bunch the w. S. c. gridiron
bunch will prove to be. Although the
local fans have considerable conf
dence in Coach W. S. Keinholz, the
prospect of a new coach and so many
new men for responsible positions Is
one that is not engendering sur,

BONDED DEBTS.

one OF the easiest ways for municipality to be
progressive is to bond the city and make the i'm
provements In this way the city of New York has
left every other municipality in the country far he
hind IN the matter of municipal improvements and
municipal debts During the last ten years the bond
ed debt OF the city has increased from 1924
to S972O19244. The debt per capita of the citv is
now more than $156. No doubt New York has cot .
good deal for its money It ought to be far ahead of
any other city in the country in municipal improve
ments. Compared with the bonded debt of other
cities, New York is in class by itself. CHICAGO
the second city in point of population has bonded
debt of about $25,0O0oOO; Philadelphia S8O0OoOOo.
Boston, $75,0OO,OO0; st. Louis, $2O,OOOOOo
1t IS favorite argument of those fayorino bond
ing OF cities to make improvements that posteritv
Is to be benefited and therefore should bear mart
OF the cost. The argument is sound too. But Il is
interesting to consider the effects of tbe recent
financial depression New York There the manic
was most felt There the pressure for funds was
most urgent 1t may be the fact that the citv was in
debt nearly S7OO,000000 had nothing to do with the
pressure felt by the metropolis, but when man IS
broke and IN debt it is pretty hard matter for
him to get money. The time to paw off this bondod
debt Will come, and the money will have to he raised

IS always the tear that posterty may repudiate that

CONCRETE HOUSES.

A year or two ago Thomas A Edison announced
that the greatest change in the methods of building
would be consummated by the use of concrete forms
This announcement of his belief met with serious
objection among architects who said that houses
built in this way would be liable to crack In fact
the announced belief of the wizard of Menlo Park
was denounced as chimerical. After two years of
patient work, however Mr. Edison announces the
completion of set of forms for one-piece two
story concrete house.
The use of concrete is becoming more general
every day. 1t is used largely in the place of stone
and brick, and in steel construction occupies an i'm
portant place The principal advantage claimed for
this method of building by Mr. Edison is its cheap
ness. He says that house of seven rooms can be
built for $1,000 He modfies this statement by saw
ing that this cost can be reached only when the
work is done on big scale. He says that it would
be necessary to invest 100000 to carry on the work
economically.
The mthods proposed by Mr. Edison consist of
framework to be set up at the site &C the building
which, after being placed in position is filled with
concrete, furnishing building complete from
foundation to capstone. 1t cannot be said that the
inventor is given to chasing rainbows. All of the
inventions which he has given to the public, from
the 1ncandescent electric light to the photograph.
have practical value. The reputation which he
has achieved by his inventive genius gives to any
announcement which he may make certain author
itatveness which the general public readily accepts
as final By his work he has shown it to be possible
to construct concrete houses according to his the
DRY and ne insists that they will stand an equal or
greater length of time than houses of brick or stone
The first cost of the mods is the biggest item of
expense If these molds can be made cheaper sue

Charles +. Woodruff, army surgeon, has declared
that blondes not in it with their swarthy broth
ers IN the struggle against the adverse conditions
with which hun anity is doomed to struggle through
out the length of years Dr. Woodruff declares
that blondes are altogether degenerate lot self
lndulgent to an enfeebling degree mentally infrm.
and physically and morally incompetent whose dis
appearance from the face of the earth is only
matter of time, No doubt Dr. Woodruff knows as
much about this absorbing topic as we do and we
are therefore loath to take issue with him. But
while we would spare the worthy doctor. we must in
justice take issue with his conclusions and come 10
the rescue of the doomed pink-skinned. tawny.
haired and blue-eyed millions who grace the earth
by their presence and add beauty and diversifcation
to the human race. One thing is certain. the life
insurance companies do not consider the pigmentary
peculiarlties of blonde persons in taking them as
a risk
But there, we cannot take this matter seriously.
Perhaps DR. Woodruff only wanted to add his item
to the sum of Stiffness of the silly season AT anv
rate, the weather is still too warm to worry about
the extinction of the poor blondes and our druggist
reports the usual call for peroxides so that if tho

The fact that such an investigation is contemplated

is not exact enough. Perhaps there is remnant OF
the old system of appointment by political intiu-

which is said to have caused CONSERVATION among

The fact of the investigation only goes to show
tsat governmental business cannot be conducted on
the exact lines as private business affairs and fur

the activity of the government confined to very

activities enjoy should at least be put upon

into others wherein there would be as much cause
for investigation as in those with which we are now
already burdened.
