Will Play Ball for the Children

People should never forget that they
have been children. If they enjoyed
the pleasures that should be incidental
to childhood. they should be glad to
have children of to-day enjoy these
If they were deprived Of these early
blessing, generous spirit should char
acterize them to see the growing gen.
GRAFTON have them. Public Fairgrounds
are being provided for our young peo-
pie in various places throughout the
country. These are under such SUPER
vision as tend to watch over the morals
and actions of the young, so that the
improper talk and deeds of the back
alley, side street and by-way places
where they are liable to frequent, is
placed under restraint. Young Amer
lea must give vent to that hustling,
bustling, clever spirit that is prepare
tory for business, industrial or profess
sional activity in mature m anhood. A
move is on foot by some of our citizens
to provide funds for playground for
our children. During the cold season
it can be used as a skating pond with
out danger of any child getting drown
ed. At other times it will be used as
the games of the season dictate in
their regular annual return. The pro-
fessional men have issued challenge
to the business men for = series of ball
games in the following language;
We, the professional men of Idaho
Springs, Colo, hereby challenge the
three Base Ball Games. The first game
to be played Friday Sept. 16, at 2;3O.
Each team is allowed one player from
the regular l. S. All others to be
stictly business men or clerks in bust
ness houses. All players to be agreed
upon by the managers before the game
and to appear in uniform.
Signed-DR. MoREHoUsE,
Manager.
Every parent should aim to patron
ize these games. They and gotten up
for the pleasure of your children.
Everyone not having children should
feel that loyalty to anything that has
for its object the strewing of flowers
along the pathway of life, and the pro-
viding of innocent enjoyment for
children are the choicest of flowers.
Everybody who can possibly attend,
even by extra sacrifice, should lend
their assistance by their presence. If
you can't possibly attend, just buy a
ticket and help. You will have lots of
fun there even if the players can't hit
4 ball as large as cart-wheel or can't
run as fast as a tortoise crawls. The
players will make up in sport what they
lack in professional ball playing. This
paper is for childrsn's sports and it
wants to see the young folks have a
good time. The action of the promo
ters of this enterprise is worthy of the
highest praise.

Labor Day DOings.

Labor day attractions, while not
eclipsing the big Frontier show at
Cheyenne, were all that could be de-
sired, and those in charge of the en-
terprise are to be congratulated on
their effort to furnish a two-day pro-
gram that has never before been
witnessed in this city, and every at
tendant will testify that more was
given for the money than at any sim
liar event given in this city, and the
receipts were all that could be
desired.
On the first day the ball game be-
tween Georgetown and Idaho Springs
was somewhat ragged, but the teams
managed to keep the score down, and
in the face of a high wind, showed
good class, the final score being 5 to
8, the locals taking the long end of
it and capturing the prize although
they had to fight for every point.
On the second day the visitors
turned the tables and trimmed the To-
Gals to the tune of II to 4 and it
was done with ease. Both games
were without feature and were listles.

Contrary to custom the two men,
bers of the Democratic state central
committee were chosen from the west
end at the convention last Monday,
thus ignoring the Idaho Springs demo-
cracy in giving it one of these i'm
portant positions. Perhaps this was
coordinate sequel to the Harmony(?
that characterized the beginning of
the convention. The Salve Frater
spirit was conspicuous for it's absence
and local selfishness seemed to gain
the ascendency when it came to Sc
lecting the two committeeman. How
ever as this is matter for the dem
ocratic followers to settle, the re-

KILLED BY LIVE WRE.

A very sad accident happened
Tuesday morning in Nashville. The
son of Mr.. Charles Watkins, who is
the foreman of the Cabinet Department
of the Church Supply Company Of the
National Baptist Publishing Board,
met with sudden death. 1t seems
that young Watkins, while in the en-
ploy of an ice company and in the
discharge of his duty while
delivering ice, attempted to
shove aside an electric buz fan
that was not in operation, in order
that he might get in with his ice.
Evidently a cross wire had charged
this incidentally with deadly cleo
tricity, and the moment the young
man touched the wire he dropped
dead, shocked by this powerful force.
The news when broken to his parents
created much distress. Sorrow pre-
walls in that section of South Nash
vile. The funeral services were
held Wednesday.
