Local Opportunities.

Keokuk had numberless opportuni-
ties during the game but could have
no luck in running bases nor in deliv-
ering hit in pinches. Harper was
worked around to third in the third
round and there remained. In the
fourth one runner was forced at sec
ond and another was caught trying to
steal the bag In the fifth all three
men were either forced at second
base or caught stealing.
The eighth came with its best
chances. With Painter, who had pre-
viously secured two hits, down, Ogle
led off with a single to centerfield and
Harper looked them over long enough
TO be given a base on balls. Cava-
naugh hit sharp single past Elkins
on first and the ball rolled out to Sen
no. Ogle took chance to score and
would have counted only for Senno's
perfect peg to the plate. Keokuk still
had two men on bases and a hit meant
a run Smith was up and his two
previous performances at the plate
made the outcome easy to predict
Pennington and Murray, who were
afterwards rushed into the game in
the pinching role, were on the bench
but Belts judgment did not tell him
to use them in the role which they
later assumed Smith struck out.

Took Much Punishment.

In the latter rounds after Wolgast
had pummeled him all over the ring
with every blow in the book, Burns
suddenly uncovered, shot left to
the chin and then crossed with the
right. The two punches unbalanced
Wolgast in his own corner and he
slipped to his knees. Burns chival-
riously aided him to rise but although
Wolgast was slightly groggy, Burns
was too weak to follow up his advan-
tage.
Burns began to fade rapidly after
the twelfth round Both eyes almost
closed, his nose almost mashed fiat,
his left ear split and his right cheek
cut, he presented fearful sight.
For three rounds succeeding the
twelfth, Wolggast pounded him I'M
mercifully. When Burns went to his
corner at the end of the fifteenth the
finish was in sight. When they came
up or the sixteenth Burns was evi-

excited to continue its efforts till the
poor animal broke the chain by which
It was fastened and ran away! All

plants and be seen no more But in
about an hour this faithful and SEN

easily removed. The other elephants
disappeared after the work was done.

this kind of window was Dutch In

their name from their resemblance to
the slulces on the Dutch canals They
open in the same way.
These Dutch windows appeared in
England about the same time as Will
liam Ill. came irons Holland. in 1888.
Atyflrst only the richest people could
afford them From England they
were introduced into France. Mar
shall de Lorge. who was the first
Frenchman to employ them, used to
invite people to his house ut Mont

become more common in England and
were mentioned in advertisements Of
