Frisco Quake Wrecked His Mind.

Plainview Republican: Henry Knuth
who lives northwest of Royal, was in
this city Tuesday. He was taking his
son Hans to the hospital for the insane
at Norfolk The unfortunate young
man left that institution ten months
ago apparently much improved, but
lately he became worse and had to be
taken back. He was in the earthquake
at San Francisco and it is thought that
the shock and horror of the situation
afterward affected his mind. 1t is a
very sad case, as the fine young man
seems to be incurable.

Young Pittsburs Pitcher Anxious to
Show Fans He Has Lasting Qualities.

Babe" Adams, the star young pitch

big contract on hand, which he expects
to fulfill before the birds migrate to
the south. He must show a lot Of
doubling Thomases that he is not an
accidental hero. Babe" points to his
record of twelve victories in fifteen
games in the regular championship
season as proof that he was merely @
consistent performer in the worlds
series, but there are thousands of fol
lowers of the game who will not be
convinced by that testimony, and he
hopes to show them this summer that
he is neither crratic nor frcakiSh.
Adams is modest and is not claiming
anything in advance, but he says he Is
feeling tiptop, and his teammates say
there is no reason in the world why he
should not profit by his years expert

Four of the American league teams.
Boston, st. Louis, Washington and

charge of the Red Sox instead of Fred

Jack O'Connor. the old catcher OF
the Clevelands. Pittsburgs and ST.
Louis Browns, will manage the last
named team this year. O'Connor was
a star backstop under Pat Tebeau and
helped to make the veteran pitcher
Cy Young famous. In the old days he
made the lives Of umpires miserable,
but he has seen the error OF his ways
and now believes in accepting the rul-
ings as they are laid down.
OConnor takes the place of his old
side partner. James McAleer. They
played on the Cleveland team for
many years and were fast friends. Nc
Aleer had crack team in St. Louis in
1908, but last year hOodoo was busy
and all kinds OF accidents kept the
Browns out Of the running. The St

Aleer is a first class manager-in fact
the best that Washington has had for

City, this county, yesterday, Mrs. Cora
Van Orstale, of good family and well

badly that physicians attending her

POOR LITTLE
DEAD GOPHER
GETS IN WAY OF GOLF BALL AND
GOLF BALL WINS.
WHY'D GOLFER GO FOR GOPHER?
Or. c. S. Parker Drove Golf Ball

Poor little gopher.

Poor little gopher
1t got it's silly head in the way of
golf ball driven speedily from the
brassy of DR.. Parker, and the golf ball
came out victor. The golfer killed the
gopher
And why did the golfer go for the
gopher? 1t was just one of those
things that happen. The gopher's sor-
ny it did happen, but the golfers have
been hunting some method of getting
rid of the gophers, anyhow and this
seems the best yet.
DR.. Parker was playing golf. The
little gutta percha sphere bounded
through the air and lit where the go
pher ought not to have been. 1t was
as effective as a rifle bullet.
And the Country club is thinking of
switching its golf medal money to
gopher fund, offering the medal to the
man who can get the most gophers on
the way around. Under that system
it would be the big score that would
get the medal, instead of the small
one as at present. Which would be
satisfactory to a good many of us right
off the reel.
And speaking of queer golf ball
freaks. There was another peculiar
accident at the Country club links.
The golfer driving off tee sent the
ball darling fifty yards to one side.
where it squarely struck another ball
that had been driven off a moment
before. The latter ball was sent on
for double its distance by the acct

FRANCE To HAVE
AIRSHIP FLEET

PARIS, May 81 In a few months
time the French army will be in pos
session of a powerful fleet of airships
which will stand even before that of
Germany. The sums voted by Parlia-
ment, together with that produced by
public subscription, enable the re-
public to possess fourteen airships and
thirty aeroplanes, which have been
ordered from various manufacturers
as the result Of competition.
Among the dirigibles Is one of a
new type invented by the engineer
Labro, which has been selected by the
committee appointed by the Ministry
of War.
This new dirigible, which will take
part in the army maneuvers in Sep
tember is considered to be superior in
several respects to all the existing
aerial cruisers. 1t is of the semi-rigid
type. It's shape is like a cigar, and it
is seventy-six meters long and eight
meters broad. The balloon, which
has a capacity of 5000 cubic meters,
has inside seven air tight compart-
ments, each of which contains a Sc
parate balloon. The dirigible will have
two cars, one at each end.
These are Joined together with
rigid bar made of a metal consisting
of aluminium and metallic salts, which
gives it great resisting power COM
bine0 with lightness.. 1t is principally
in the metal employed that the novel;
ty of the invention consists, the weight
OF the rigid parts being only 800 kilos,
or 300 less than that of the Zeppelin.
There is a transverse rigid bar sup
porting its propellers, and three mo-
tors of eighty horsepower each are
carried in one of the cars. It will
carry eight passengers and is capable
OF an eleven hours run at the rate of
fifty miles an hour, which is almost
double that of any existing dirigible.
The new airship is called La Frigate
and its cost will be about $4,000.

cClusky Gazette; Adam Les
meister of Harvey was in town
Tuesday in quest Of information
relative to the theft Of Russian
boar hound, last year by a party
who left for Canada, for whom he
now has sufficient evidence to con-
vict of larceny. The dog was
imported from eastern Europe
where the hunting of wild boars is
as popular as deer or mountain
goat hunting is on the upper
Missouri and the Rockies respect
lively. While here Mr.. Lesmiester
also collected the bounty for 25O
coyotes which he killed last year,
on which the state and county
bounties amount to $3.50 each.
Mr.. Lesmeister is the champion
nimrod of the northwest among
wolf hunters, having a bell bred
kennel mostely of the feet-footed
savage Russian boar hounds. In
the last few years Lesmiester has
killed over 5000 wolves.

betrayals of trust by office holders,
or party scandals. Those who
howl about Mckenzie bossism
are simply trying to divide the
party and play into the hands of
the democrats, who by the way, I
believe, are having a hand in this
wild acclaim that is being made
against Mckenzie bossism.'
Compare the above with the en-
suing, and marvel at the audacity
of their author, who dares in the
face of his own evidence to call
himself a progressive republican"

I hereby announce myself as a
republican candidate for United
States senator for the short term
subject to the endorsement of the
people at the pri mary.
My record in congress upon pub
lie questions is we'll known, I
pledge myself to carry forward the
principles of progressive republic

and Cannonism shall be eliminated

party returned to the people and
fidelity to party principles and
pledges held inviolate.
