 Cobb went to bat 571 times. in 155 games, an average of almost four times a game, while Wagner has gone 10 bat only 382 times In 1aT games, an average of about two and one-half times per game. Maybe Hans wouldn't have Killed the ball few more times if he hadn't been passed?

KLING WILL MAKE STAR
 POOL PLAYER, SAYS WESTON

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. s-(Speciai) If I had John k1ing's strength. stroke and eye I would be the pool champion of the world for twenty years to come" saii Cowboy" Wes- ton last night. after the finish of the second block for the. championship. T could take Kling and inside of one month make him the greatest pool player the world has ever known.
 "Kling has . better stroke than De Dro, and his execution is wonderfui. continued Weston. "Al he needs 10 the inside work, and then he could throw them all out at second. You know there is more to pool than merely pocketing the balls. Safety play Is the wheel upon which all champions revolve, and this fs where I have 1t on John. Of course, he has delicate touch and Is clever in breaking the balls from the bank. He also manapes to leave his cue ball where I have to break my arm to get a shot, but he doesn't figure his safety plays many balls in advance. This will only come to him when he gives up baseball and devotes his entire at tention to pool. Kling is the best In America today on long shots. That's his eye. His baseball training is re- sponsible for that.

Methodist Minister Speaks from Pull
 nit.

Cottonwood, oct s.-tspecial.) )-Rev. R. J. Coxwell. pastor of the Methodist Church here. opened the fight for the amendment in this section last night In an address to the members of his con- gregation and friends of the amend ment.
 In speaking of the amendment. he proposed to its allies here that politics be eliminated from the question. He made a base of the moral and religious questions involved. and urged that no harsh criticisms be made of other peo- ple's convictions, but that the best an- fiuences of the church be to hgnt against the whiskey interests with their moneyed influence and pretu- diees.
 His speech was the first for either side, and, so far. not great deal of in- terest has been shown by either side. Both sides claim majority from this the second largest polling precinct in the county.

 Pittsburg. Pa. Oct 9.-(Special)-- Tyrus Cobb. the wonderful Detroit player who has been touted as the only possible rival of Hans Wagner in baseball, has taken Pittsburg by storm. Shortly after his arrival Cobb in an interview declared that the greatest living ball player was Hans Wagner, but that he himself hoped to be as great some day.
 This tribute to Wagner by the king player of the rival league has made the city Cobb's own. In part Cobb said:
 While have never seen Hans wag- ner in action, have followed his game closely, and I am satisfied that he is the greatest living ball player. He cannot be otherwise. else he would have worn out with the public long before now. My only hope is that I may one day be as great a player as Wagner and that I may have as firm a hold on the people of my own town and of my league as has this wonder full player"

Death Of Miss Riddell

A very sad death occurred in Elko at
1870 this morning. At that honr,
Miss Edith J. Riddell, q member of the
freshman class of the high school obeyed
the summons that comes to all and
joined the great majority on the other
side.
Miss Riddell was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. james Riddell of Starr Valley.
She was born on July 81, 1882 She
attended the Starr Valley school until
last September, when she entered the
county high school as q member the
freshman class. ..+ .
On the 9Th of this month, she was
taken sick and Drs. Hood and West
were called to attend her, but despite
all their skill she grew worse. Yester-
day afternoon at O'Clock; she was
operated on at the Redwood hospital
for appendicitis, but she failed to rally
from she shock. ~ ....'.
The bereaved family are heart broken
over the death of their loved one.
While they monrn. they should not
forget that God in his infinite mercy
and goodness has taken her from this
world of sorrow to that land where
suffering and death never enter. They
have the sympathy of this community
in their great sorrow.
The remains will be shipped to Starr
Valley tomorrow morning and the
funeral will take place at 3 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon.

WHY?

The duty on hams is ) cents on the
pound, on beef 3 cents, on veal. mutton,
pork and lard, 2 cents. Will someone
please tell us how this duty favors the
millions and adds scent to the govern
'nent revenue?
Why is it there? Simply to protect
The gigantic meat monopoly. That is
al there is to it, and it is hard to get
away from the thought that someone is
laying for keeping it there.
In the recent tariff discussion in the
house, the recommendation was that
hat the dnty on hams and bacon be re-
duced to q cents, and the duty on other
articles to II cents; but the senate,
after due consideration, and prcsum-
ably interested consideration, substitute
cd the old rates for those recommend cd

Climate and Alcohol Consumption

There was recorded in the Budleian
library of Oxford an innkeeper's bill
for o breakfast eaten by Peter the
Great, Gar of Russia, and his suit of
twenty persons. They ate half. u sheep,
a quarter of lamb, ten pullets, twelve
chickens and seven dozen eggs, and
washed it down with two quarts, of
brandy and six quarts of mulled wine
How much bread they disposed of is
not stated. 1t is also recorded that
Peter was hard drinker and began the
day with pint of brandy and bottle
of sherry. After dinner he drank eight
bottle of sack, but his favorite Gipple
was hot pepper in brandy.

Climate has much to do with tbF
quantity of alcohol people consumes.
Spain, Italy and Turkey are the most
temperate nations of Europe, whereas
the Russians and Poles drink copiously
of spirits, and there was time when
the Scandinavians were great consum-
ers of alcohol.
The English drink more than the
FRENCH and the Scotch more than
either, and yet vital statistic show that
longevity In Scotland is the greatest in
'Christendom, and, population CON
sidered, no people in history have pro-
duced more intellectual men than the
Land o Cakes. In cold and humid
climate the inhabitants can and do
consume with inpunity-perhaps with
dvantage-quantities of alcohol that
would destroy human life in warm
and dry climate.
Richard of England was hard

COST OF THE TARIFF

Figuring that only half the manu-
factureS SOLD i'm this country are pro-
'"rtrd. and that. the average tariff in
crease of price on this half is only II
nnr cent, we found that the cost Of
)inglcyism on manufactured goods
alone was SCOT, 900, 600 per year.
In the light Of that estimate. the
following from Golfers Weekly is Of

The amount Of revcnuc raised for

We believe that Golfers has stated
