BENNINGTON BEAT

FAST GAME
Scored Five Times to Three
for Capt. Garry's Men.
CLEANUP HIT FOR M'CREHAN

Across the Plate.
CLEANUP HIT For M'CREHAN
Three City League

BY defeating Pittsfeld to at
Tudor park yesterday in a game that
abounded in spectacular plays and
rapid action Bennington tied the
Shire City for first place in the lea
que The weather was ideal and the
crowd, which did not number 700 peo-
pie, witnessed a contest that was
full of ginger in every inning.
Bennington played better ball than
Pittsfeld, both at the bat and in the
field, but at the same time it must be
admitted that the local team was
lucky at a critical period Of the
game. In the third inning the Huckle-
berry boys in their eagerness were a
trihe too reckless on the bases but
pulled themselves out of a bad hole
without losing runner.
There we're a number Of plays dur
ing the game that brought deserved
applause from the grandstand. In the
fourth Keefe went out into center
field for a fly and pegged out a run
ner at the plate and there were three
double plays by the locals OF the big
league class
Brown was at short for Bennington
and a more classy exhibition OF in
field playing has not been seen o. q
Bennington diamond in many mOclS.
The boy not only handled every
chance clearly but his speed was
something remarkable. There is no
pause in his action from the instant
that he starts for the ball 20 the tma
that the sphere leaves his hand On
it's way to the baseman
Neither team scored until the third
inning when the first batter up for
Pittsheld sent a bounder through
Billy Finnegans legs. The runner
was sacrificed to second aui a single
sent him over the plate. In Ben
ningtons half of the same period the
Shire city aggregation went up in the
air With runner on first and sec
ond a ball was sent down to short
stop CrOnin SO many runners gong
over the bases apparently unnerved
Cronin, because he looked first from
one base to the other and finally held
the ball in his hand while all three
men landed in safety. One runner
scored when Capt Garry dropped
fiy in center field leaving the bases
still full and then McCrehan cleaned
up with two-bager to center Score,
Bennington 4, Pittsfeld l.
The only striking incident OF the
fourth was Keefe's throw to the
plate cutting off a Pittsfeld runner
by ten feet
In the fifth Pittsfield punched
double and two singles which with
wild pitch gave the visitors two runs.
Bennington scored its fifth and last
run in the sixth and during the re-
mainder of the game the plate was
not threatened by either team The
score.

that Vermont was noted for the large
number and excellence of its dairy
cattle and its ex-governors; and
among the latter was one whom we
all respect and love, who lives right
here in our midst" Gov McCul-
lough's address was a graphic de-

development of the country, with all

Do You Enjoy Your Meals?
One of the Most Important Questions
to Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health.

The burning question to you is.
Are you getting out of life all the
pleasure and the health you are en-
titled to 2" If not, why not?
No matter whether every organ and
member of your body is in a sound
state of health and strength if your
stomach is in any way disordered, you
are not goi-lg to be yourself You
are going to be a worried, out-of- sorts,
nervous or sullen individual, whose ac-
tionS will reflect your condition inside,
and people will naturally avoid you
The world wants to smile and be
cheerful, and unless you are cheerful
and smile, at least, occasionally, you
tunities, no success, and you will go
down in defeat-defeated by dyspep-
STA and bad stomach.
A good and thorough digestion has
a quick, wonderful reaction upon the
brain You must have noticed it many
times, for the brain and stomach are
as intimately connected as needle
and its thread, one can hardly be used
to advantage without the other. If
your stomach is slow and lazy in di-
costing your food. it will produce at
once slow, lazy and cloudy influence
upon your brain. Mark it, If your
stomach has absolutely quit work, and
fermentation is poisoning your vitalS
as a result. surely your brain is going
to be sluggish and CORRESPONDENCE de-
But why continue to suffer all the
miseries and torments that a disor-
dered stomach brings you?
If your stomach can not digest your
food, what will? Where's the relief?
Where's the cure?
relief and the cure. Why? Because,
as all stomach troubles arise from in
digestion and because one ingredient
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is able
to thoroughly and completely digest
5000 grains of any kind of food,
doesn't it stand to reason that these
little Dyspepsia Tablets are going to
digest all the food and whatever food
you put into your stomach? Science
nowadays can digest food without hav-
ing to use the stomach for it. And
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the re-
suit of this scientific discovery. They
digest and digest thoroughly and well,
anything and everything YOU eat.
So, if your stomach refuses to work
or can't work, and you suffer from
eructations, bloat, brash, fermentation,
biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn
Irritation, indigestion, or dyspepsia of
whatever form, just take one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and see
the difference. It doesn't cost you
much to prove it. Then you can eat
all you want, what you want, when
ever you want, If you use these tab
lets, and you can look the whole
world in the face with a beam1ng eye
and you will have cheerful spirit, a
pleasant face. a vigorous body and a
clear mind and memory and every
thing will look and taste delicious to
you. That's life.

TO GIVE SAFETY.
Escape Shaft Is Sunk in Mine
at KanapOlis.
Will Be Used Only Should an
Accident Occur.
KINGMAN FIRE CAUSE.
Gave James COwie Idea for Add.
ed Precautions.
Improvement to Plant Cost Sew
eraI Thousand Dollars.

Kanopolis, Kan, Feb. 14.-For the
sole purpose of affording an escape for
miners from the salt mine in case of
disaster, the Crystal Salt company has
recently completed a second shaft, a
depth of 800 feet, connecting with the
main shaft Of the mine.
James Cowie, president of the com
pany, the laird of Kanopolis,'' it was
who ordered the shaft sunk.
The salt mine at Kingman was com
pletely destroyed by fire some time
ago, providentially at a time when the
workmen were not in the mine, and
were thus saved from a fate sad to
contemplate, as the burning OF tne
great frame buildings over the shaft
would surely have prevented their res
cue and all would have persisted.
The burning of the Kingman shaft
house might have proven an OBJECT les
son and, at this time, Mr.. Cowie made
virtually demand on his company
to allow him to sink an escape SHAFT.
His request was granted and shaft No.
2 of the Crystal Salt company was
then sunk and now connects the I'M
derground workings of No. 1 shalt
There has been installed at the escape
shaft No. a hosting engine and
cage with steam connections, ready to
hoist the men to the surface in safety
in case of any emergency.
A few wears ago Cowie purchased the
townsite of Kanopolis, historically re-
ferred to sometimes as Fort Harker
former distributing supply center Tor
western posts and forts of the United
States army.
Becoming LAIRD of Kanopolis Mr..
Cowie resigned his position as man
ager Of the Royal Salt company and
organized his present concern.
Originally, Mr.. Cowie was coal
miner. In the hazardous calling OF coal
mining Mr. Cowie has viewed In solemn
awe the indiscriminate havoc and min
oiled confusion of death caused by dis
astrous mine fires and colliery explo-
sions. and this led him to order the
construction Of the escape shaft in his
salt mine.
