ATHLETICS CHANGES
ARE NOT VERY GOOD!
John Doe Thinks They May Win, But Has His Doubts.
Philadelphia Has Pitchers, Cubs Have Brains
and Catchers.

Here are soothing words cor Amer
lean League fans from John Doe. in
the Cleveland Press He picks the Ath-
Ietics 10 win the worlds pennant. and
argues thusi-.
If the American League IS going 70
stop the long winning streak OF the
National League in the worlds series,
this is the year TO do IT,
a visit 10 Chicago last week and
Sunday, in which time the Cubs took
four straight games from Brooklyn,
makes me think the Cubs have gone
back, and that the Athletics have a
chance 10 win the worlds champion
ship
1t isn't very good chance that the
/ Athletics have, but it is better than the
Tigers had two and three years ago.
The worlds series this year promises
70 be a close and pretty fight
1t viii be a series Of battles between
an old and experienced team, led by a
playing manager. against a younger
team. not 50 experienced, led by a
foxy bench manager.
Cubs Needs Opposition
THE Cubs are a great baseball ma
chine, experts IN inside bah, but they
do not use their ability unless they have

work like sin till they get ahead
The Cubs are not the team they were
two years ago, but they are stiI great

possible angle OF baseball. and they
never know when they are licked
They have always done better in ad-

The weather during May, 1910, was
cold and dry. The temperature was
two degrees below the normal. Com
pared with preceding Mays, it was
one of the coolest on record. Lower
average May temperatures obtained in
1888, 1888, 1890, 1892 and 1907.
The lowest average temperature for
any May at Bismarck, was As de-
grees in 1907. The highest tempera-
ture during the month was "a de-

The highest temperature ever re-
corded at Bismarck during May was
SO degrees. The lowest temperature
during the month was % degrees on
the 18th. The lowest temperature
ever recorded at Bismarck during May
was 10 degrees. 1t will thus be seen
that while the temperature during
the month was low, it was by no
means the lowest, and as the depart
ure from the normal shows, not much
colder than usual.
The precipitation was decidedly be-
low the normal. The total precipita-
ton for the month was OH inch, or
1.73 inches lower than the average for
the past thirty-six years. AS compar-
ed with preceding years, this was by

in Bismarck.
In the year 1901 but 0.O4 inch of

The June meeting of the state par
don board convened Thursday and
found list of sixty-one applications
staring them in the face.
There was little done at the morn
ing session but at the afternoon meet
ing a pardon was granted Frank Lake
of Fargo, who was sent up December
10, 1906 to serve a sentence of five
years on a charge of assault with
deadly weapon. Lake had been out
on parole since the last meeting OF
the board and according to report re-
ceived here he has been conducting
himself in an orderly manner. John
NJ Robbie who was convicted of for
gerry and sentenced to serve two years
from January 7, 1909, was also grant
ed a pardon, he was sent up from
Pembina county.
The only other business was the
pardoning of Jacob and Philip Goeh-
ring who were serving Jail sentence
in Sheridan county, for assault. 1t
appears that the trouble they were
mixed up in was more or less the
fault Of others and they secured tho
mercy of the board. 1t is probable
that a large number Of applications
will be acted upon today.

HIGGINS JURY FAILED
TO Reach AGREEMENT
JURY STOOD ELEVEN TO ONE
AND WAS UNABLE. TO BREAK
DEADLOCK
Mass of Evidence Produced by the
State was not Enough to Make One
Of the Jurymen Say "Guiity."

In spite of the overwhelming mass
of evidence produced by the state to
show that Joseph Higgins was guilty
of violation of the prohibition law,
the jury which had been out all night
failed to bring in verdict of guilty
and reported disagreement. While
there is no way of arriving at a posi-
tive statement as to the poll of the
jury, it is stated that the vote was
eleven to one for conviction. At the
first vote it was ten to two, but one
of the holdouts soon was convinced
that there was enough evidence to
convict and went over to the side
of the majority. The one man was
unable to be convinced and so held
the jury until Thursday morning and
then a disagreement was reported.
Those who heard the evidence in
the case state that there was suf1i-
cient evidence introduced to have
convicted half dozen men. People
who are reputable citizens went on
the stand and swore they purchased
liquor in the place mentioned in the
charge and that they bought it of
Higgins himself and paid for it with
cash. Just what testimony will be
needed to convict men of the VIOLA
ton of the prohibition law is not
known, but is it probable there will
have to be a new brand produced &C.
cording to the actions of the jury in
the Higgins case.

SAMPLES FOR SPECIAL
SIX EXHIBITS PREPARED FOR
FAIRS WILL BE ON THE
TRAIN,
Samples Of Grain on the Stem and
Numerous Boxes Of Seed Will Make
Up the Shipment.

The much advertised special Bet
ter Farming Special will start out
from Fargo next week and make tri-
umphal tour over the state carrying
the gospel of good farming to all who
care to get out and see the exhibits
and listen to the speakers. The ex-
hibits of grain and seeds that will be
on the train are furnished by Com
missioner of Agriculture and Labor
w. C. Gilbreath and consists of six
big cases of grain on the stem and
innumerable boxes of samples of seed
grains.
The exhibition is a. part of that
which has been used to exploit the
resources of the state at the various
state fairs, and is especially valuable
from the fact that it shows the re-
suits of practical and not theoretical
farming, as all of it has been raised
on farms in the state and under nor
NAL conditions, and has not been fore
ed or especially cared for.
The Bismarck Tribune has arrang-
ed to have special correspondent
on the train for the entire time that
it is in the state, and he will probably
also follow the train for short
part of the trip into eastern Montana.
The special correspondent will send
daily wire specials and there will be
