The French Stars took a great big
brace Monday afternoon and defeated
the Postal Clerks by a score of seven
to six, and that after allowing their
opponents to pile up the, six runs in
the first inning Two circumstances
contributed largely to this result. III
the first place the French Stars de-
veloped hitting streak they had not
shown before this season after the first
inning and batted Wright all over the
diamond. Then the Stars had their
od-time pitcher, Gregoire, in the box,
who has not pitched a game in the
league series this season, and Gregoire
after he warmed up pitched a game
that surprised even his friends. He
struck out nine men in the seven in
nings played and kept his opponents
guessing all the while. LeClair. the
center fielder for the Stars got a home
run.
The men went to bat in the follow
ing order:
Postals-Brann, 1b: Churchill, lf:
Ailif, c; Sylvester, 2b; Brown, SIS;

John Metcalf, one of Augustus we'll
known trainers and drivers. has added
another stopper to the string which he
is working out preparatory to the be-
ginning of the races on the Maine cir
cult, and the opinion of those who
have seen the horse is that he is a
dandy. The horse is the brown geld
ing Diego, owned by F. Carroll Burrll
of Ellsworth and has all the ear marks
of speed. He is six years old, stands
1872 and weighs 1000 pounds. AS g.
year-old he showed a mile in PA and
stepped the last quarter in 33 4
seconds. Mr.. Metcalf will give him a
thorough training and expects that ne
will show some fast miles before the

lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing more numer-

When your hair begins to fall out and
your scalp is full of Dandruf it is

Ths seerotsf Prize winning Pastry

Fourteen prizes (nearly all of them
firsts)out Of fifteen entries of cakes and
fine pastry is a record that any woman
might envy. This was the showing made
recently by Mrs. J. H. Chastain, 2oo S.
Boulevard, Atlanta, Ga, at the Georgia
State Fair. Her explanation of her sue
cess is decidedly interesting; she writes
II entered nine cakes and six pies at the
Georgia State Fair, Atlanta, Ca won eight first
premiums on cake three first premiums and two
seconds on pies, also first premium on general
display attribute my success in cake making
altogether to using COrTOLENE and not
butter"
Mrs. Chastain is the wife of the Master
Mechanic of the Western & Atlantic R R.,
and enjoys high local reputation for her
fine cooking. Not only does she use
COTTOLENE in making cakes or crusts,
and other pastry; but for frying chicken,
fish, ETC., she finds it unequalled. For
over nine years she has not had a pound
of lard in her house, using COTTOLENE
exclusively.

NOT FlTTo BE a CITIZEN.

The Illinois supreme court in a late
decision ruled that a man who keeps
saloon open on Sunday is not a fit
person to be citizen of the United
States. The case was that of an East
st. Louis man who sought to compel
the government to issue naturalization
papers to him. His petition was de-
MED. rhe court said the question to
be determined was, can man be said
to be well disposed to the good order
OF this country when he. has knowing
", wilfully, and habitually violated the
laws of state"
The defendant set up in defense that
all other saloon-keepers of his county
kept open on Sunday and the mayor
and police sanctioned it, therefore, he
should not be Disseminated against.
The court said:
1T is essential to safety and the per.
petuity of government tina. laws be en-.
forced until repealed. A decision as
to the wisdom of the Sunday closing
statute rests with the legislature, not
with the court, but so long as 1t is law
it should be enforced"
The same tribunal at the same ses
sion decided that street fairs and sim
liar carnivals are nuisances and that 8
city has no right to permit such ex
hibitions to use its streets. Both de
cisions are in line with common sense

powwoW At WApELLo.

The town of wapellos in Louisa
county is arranging for its second an
nual sPowwow, to be held some time
in the fall The advertising matter
issued to date does not give very
clear or comprehensive idea OF the
character of the affair, but 1t is infer
red from what is said about the efforts
that are being made to secure attrac.
tions that it will be something after
the order of a street fair or carnival.
A unique feature will be a revival OF
the old-time sports of the community,
in which oil Will be expected to
take part. One of these will be "tug
OF war between teams from two
neighboring towns, and another a
horseshoe pitching tournament. The
latter will be open to everyone, and,
as there is no other like contest in the
country as far as can be learned, it is
proposed to proclaim the winner
the champion of the world. A suitable
prize will be offered and it is promised
that the contest will be conducted in a
fair and impartial manner. Another
thing featured in the announcement is
brass band music OF kind to quicken
the steps and tighten the hearts of
the pleasure seekers. The affair will
continue two days.

conso, ALTON FOR MouRNERs.

The first of the series of papers on
the question of whether there is
life beyond death which are appearing
now in Harper's Bazaar was by w. D..
Howells. 1t was called, in the edi-
tors note, "a Counsel of Consolation. Z
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps adds another
note of consolation in her contribution
to the series. She points out that the
mourner at the new grave does not
concern himself with the imper-
manence of human feeling. He is not
troubled lest he should cease to love
He is busted only with trying to bear
his mower of loving. Yesterday, to-
day and forever, his need of his dead
seems to him the supreme fact OF life
AS he kneels in the grass to plant
flowers above dust too precious to be
neglected. he is planting solemn and
exacting hopes in his nature; these
have deep roots, and, like other root
ed things. they will blossom If they
arc cherished. Wherefore:
..Because he loves and grieyes, h,
| believes in the life everlasting and

FARM LAND ASSESSMENTS.

The Fort Dodge Chronicle has q par
agraph to the following effect:
"The average assessed valuation of
farm land in Iowa as compared with
real value is 60 per cent, and in some
counties it figures as low as SO per
cent. Here is more evidence to
show the advantage that the farmer
Has over the owner of city property
The law requires that real property,
in country as we'll as in city, shall be
valued at what it would sell for at
cash sale and assessed for purposes of
taxation at one-fourth the amount.
This requirement Of the law is obeyed
in Keokuk, but In many Of the country
townships in Lee county 1t is Ignored.
Land worth 500 an acre. at current
prices. is valued by local assessors at
$40 and $50 an acre and assessed at
one-fourth that sum. The result is
that while the people of Keokuk pay
| taxes on the basis of 25 per cent OF the
actual value of their property the peo'
pie in the country districts pay on the
basis of only 1914 per cent or less Of
the same value. This discrimination
should be, corrected at once. 1t is un
| lust to Keokuk to make it bear double
| its share of the public burden as 1t has
been doing for many years. The board
OF supervisors should act In the matte
primarily, and If necessary the matte
should be brought to the attention 0
the state executive council. Let tn
.csn,ant law ha oheyed in cOuntr'
and city alike.
