and McGinnfty, made of the same metal
The champion Bostons under Frank Selee
had a. durable star pitcher in Kid Mich
OILS, who were well for A dozen years. In
Rusie and Meekin the Giants, who won
the Temple Cup in 1894. had the best
twirlers in the National League. The
team itself wasn't a world heater in play
ing strength hut these great pitchers, who
alternated in the box the last two months
of the season, held opponents down in
such manner that they practically won
many Of the games single handed.
The Giants of twenty-one years ago
who won the worlds championship had
I'm Tim keefe the best pitcher in the
league. his nearest competitor being John
Clarkson of the BOstOnS, who finished
a close second that season. The old
Detroit champions of those days did
Lady Baldwin. Getzein. Conway and
Reatin, who averaged we'll enough to
enable the other players on the team
to win by their terrific batting. Arson
won pennants for Chicago more than
twenty years ago and he relied on Clark
son. Jim Mccormick. Larry Corcoran
and Fred Goldsmith, all stars In 1884
Radbourne and Sweeney were the
Providence. the pennant winner that
year, while the Boston champions of
1888 had two wonderful slabmen in Jim
Whitney and Charley Buffinton.
The first really great pitcher in the
National League was A. G.. Spalding
and to his skill was due the winning of
pennants by Boston and Chicago. So
when you read about the remarkable
work Of Mathewson and CoOmbs you'll
know that it is case of history re-
peating itself. The ball club that has
star pitchers will always be heard from
and this. it is believed. will apply to
the Washinetons next year if Walter
Johnson retains his best form and Nc
Aleer can strengthen one or two weak
spots.

All Through Trains Of the Burlington
After Last of This Month viii
Be Electric Light
GREAT IMPROVEMENTS
New Plan of Lighting is One of the
Best in the History of Amer
lean Railroad
ing.

Representatives and agents of the c.,
&. & O. road have received notice
from e. A. Abbott, advertising agent
OF the system that after May 81, all
through trains on the Burlington sys-
TEN will be electric lighted by the dy-
namo system. THIS is said to be the
most perfect system of train lighting
yet devised, as brilliant, steady light
can at all times be assured.
The current is generated by dyna-
mo in the baggage car. which fur
nishes current not only for the direct
each car, so that there is no light fail
ure during switching when the dyna-
mo may be temporarily cut off.
An extract from Mr.. Abbott's letter
to the local agent of the Burlington,
says:
In the history of American railroad
ing no such extensive and costly inn
provement of coach lighting has even
been attempted UP to this time, and
we know no other railroad on which
all the through trains are electric
lighted, and this important feature
should be borne in mind when talking
with prospective passengers.
Nos. 43 and "A, between Kansas City
and Seattle, Nos 3 and 2, between Col
cago and Denver, and Nos. Is and
16, between st. Louis and Denver, are
the last through trains to be electrical
ly equipped.
Incidentally, it may be mentioned
that all our Chicago suburban trains
are electric lighted in the same way
the dynamo in this case being at
tached to the locomotive We know
of no other such service in the coun
try that is electrically lighted.

CHARLESTON, Iowa, May 90
Within view Of his sister-in-law and
within ear-shot of his wife, Grant Sla-
ter, prosperous farmer of New Bos
ton, committed suicide by firing two
shots into his body yesterday after
noon. His rash deed is attributed to
a partially deranged mind. Two years
ago Mr.. Slater's home was destroyed
in a cyclone and the Shock he suffered
following the catastrophe is believed
to have left him a nervous wreck.
Mr.. Slater had been at work in the
field preparing for the planting of
corn. He came in from his work be-
tween 3 and o'clock, leaving his
team hitched in the field. Going to
the house he was soon seen to emerge
with his revolver. The deed was COM
mitted near the house. One shot
passed through his lungs and the 9TH
err buried itself in the liver. Miss
Mary Ball, a sister of Mr.. Skaters
wife, witnessed the act from the gar

man and the shots attracted a num-
Der of neighbors and the dying mans
wife, who had been at work in the
cemetery, but a short distance from
the house.
For time Mr. Slater was in COM
a.ose state. A physician was sum-
moned and found him still alive, but
in dying condition. He aroused suf-
ficiently to inquire If he had been
asleep, but his head almost immedi-
ately sank back and death ensued.
Residents of New Boston recalled
the cyclone which swept the house OF
Mr.. Slater into ruin, and say that
since that time he has acted very
strangely. Mr. Slater leaves wife
an aged mother, two brothers, and
four sisters.
Coroner Fred Korschgen, of Keokult
learned of the suicide, but because
summoned by the constable, because
