A BAD RUNAWAY

Tuesday afternoon a team being
driven by Oliver and Jesse Myers of
the town of Saratoga, became fright
ened at the Wisconsin Central pas
senger train when it crossed Grand
Ave. and turned suddenly, dashing
across the open field west of the de-
pot to Seventh Ave., and rushed
down Seventh to Beecher and 1st
Ave-, and up LIST Ave. to Goggins
ST., turning there they swerved to
the right in behind the Moravian
church and parsonage, where they
were stopped The harness and
wagon were intact. In their mad
plunge across the field the two men
were thrown to the ground, one of
the wheels striking Oliver on the
head. He was taken to the depot I'M
conscious and DR.. Dan Waters was
summoned to attend his wounds. His
face and head were badly bruised
and scratched. Jesse Myers escaped
without injury.

CIGARETTE
SMOKING
Its DeIeterious Effect Upon the
Mind and Body of the YOUNG.

One Of the greatest menaces to
our moral and intellectual well-being
today is the fact that cigarette smok-
ing is becoming a popular fad among
boys and young men, while the use
of a strong pipe is close second
In favor. Go where you will in this
broad land of ours, and the pale
faces, blear eyes, trembling fingers
and the foul stencil of cigarette
fumes tell the same pathetic story.
This most serious blight upon the
bloom and beauty of our American
boyhood is chargeable to parental
ignorance and carelessness For the
past eight years l have been trac-
ing out the cigarette boys biography,
and 1 have found that in practically
all cases the lad began his smoking
habit clandestinely, at an early age,
and with little or no thought OF it's
seriousness, while the fond parents
perhaps believed that their boy was
too good to engage in such a prac-
tice.
1t is not my purpose to make an
attack upon smoking in general. A
majority of the best and ablest men
in the country are smokers, and
they unquestionably get a great deal
of satisfaction out of their cigars and
pipes. After man has fully ac-
CURED the habit, smoking tends
to drive away depression and to
make him better satisfied with his
lot and more agreeable companion
of men and women.
By this / do not mean that the
smoker has this advantage over the
nonsmoker, but rather that the for
mer, through the re-indulgence Of
his habit, gets these results over
and above what he has when he
goes without his cigar. Out of one
hundred such men whom 1 inter
viewed, ninety-nine frankly admitte l
that smoking tends to injure the
health and that they would not ad
wise any young man to begin the
habit. This practice Is very Of
fensive to many delicate natures, is
somewhat filthy at it's best, and dis
gustingly filthy at it's worst, as the
ordinary smoking car will bear wit
ness. Often, in public places, even
refined women are forced to breathe
the sickening fumes coming direct
from the nostrils of some course,
brutal cigarette smoker. Smoking
is a practice enti1 ely unnecessary to
the development and refinement of
the race, and it will in time doubt
less go the way of the liquor habit.
But the serious nature, and even
the cruelty of this smoking habit
among men is at once apparent when
we consider it's influence and effects
upon boys. The younger the boy,
the worse smoking hurts him in
every way, for lads almost invariably

The Eureka Ball Game

The Eureka Seminal gives the follow
ing version of the trouble at the ball
game between the Elko and Eureka
mines week ago last Sunday:
lat the close of the seventh inning an
occurrence took place which married the
pleasure af the contest. 1t appears that
one ~ the Elko players, Joe Snelson,
was taken out of the game and a sub
Astitute put in his place. While Eureka
twas at the bat and one of their men on
first base, Eureka's third baseman, A.
P. Mallon. went to first base to coach
for the Eureka team, Snelson, the re-
tired Elko player was already there
roofing.
"Mallon asked Snelson to get off the
coach line, telling him he had no right
there. Snelson, however, refused to do
so, and after some words had been
exchanged between the two men,
Mallon pushed Snelson off the coach
line by placing his open hand on Smell
sons face, the latter being forced back
into the crowd. AS he was going back
he stopped down and picked up rock
and began abusing Mallon
''One of the bystanders called Mallons's
attention to the kind of language Smell
son was using, and Mallon started after
Snelson again, and when within three
feet of him Snelson threw the rock,
striking Mallon over the left temple.
Blood Immediately began to flow
from the wound, at the sight of which
after the cause had been ascertained,
the crowd became greatly excited, and
it looked for while as If there would
be a general free for-all fight, but owing
to the good work of the officers, order
was soon restored and the game was
} proceeded with
- '"The Sheriff then took Snelson off the
grounds.
Sunday evening the District Attorney
made out complaint against Snelson
at the request of the complaining wit
ness, Mallon, but Justice Of the Peace
l.. w. Cromer, upon examination of the
complaining witness, in which he stated
the Justice says, that he Mallory began
taS ouble. in pushing Snelson off the
GoaSA line by placing his open hand on
the formers face, refused to issue a
warrant, as he did not believe con vic-
ton could be secured on the statement
made by the complaining witness"
The Sentinel omits to state that the
district attorney collected $50 from Smell
son ON the complaint he made out. This
amount Justice Cromer has informed
District Attorney Taber will be returned
to Snelson on receipt being received
e - IL
of Eureka county is left in rather bad
light by the action of Justice Cromer.
