sisted Triple Play.

San Francisco, Sept. 16. FRS
Baseman William Rapps of the Port
land baseball club of the Pacific
League, formerly Of the Kansas City
Blues, made triple play unassisted
in game between Portland and Oak
land.
Christian and Killilay of Oakland
were on second and first base, re-
spectively. Leard, the batsman, hit
a low liner down to first, and the two
base runners, thinking the ball could
not be fielded. sprinted ahead. Rapps,
however, made a phenomenal stop of
the drive, scooping it up with one
hand before it touched the ground.
He touched first base before Killilay
could get back and then raced to Sec
ond in time to get Christian, who had
almost reached third before he turn
ed back.
"Bilr' Rapps started his baseball
career in Nevada, and was first base
man and catcher on the Nevada Mis-
souri, Valley League team. His home
is in Pappinsville from which place

Gen. Nogi and Wife End Lives
as Final Tribute to
MikadO.

Toxic, Japan, Sept. IA Saturday
Gen. Count Marasuke Nogi, SUI

pire, who captured Port Arthur, and
his wife, the Countess Nogi, commit.
ted suicide last night, in accordance
with the ancient Japanese custom, as
a final tribute to their departed EN-
peror and friend, Mutsuhito.
The death by their hands of the
famous General and his wife was as
dramatic as it was sad. The General
cut his throat with a short sword and
the Countess committed hara-kiri.
Following the Samurai custom, the
couple carefully had prepared their
plans for killing themselves and

Gen. Nogi and the Countess had at
tended the funeral services of Nut

Instead, at the conclusion of the
ceremony at the palace, they with

which the Single Tax movement

Referring to the effect Of Single Tax
upon the land owner, Henry George

The section above referred 10 is
directed against every land owner.
It is directed against the small home
owner, the prospective home owner,
who is paying for lot upon an in
stallment plan, the large land owner,
and the farmer. There is no discrim-
ination between land owners. The
intention is that all land owners must

Be treated alike. and their land must
Be made common property by the
process Of the Single Tax.
It means that home owners, wild
ows farmers, who have struggled
hard tomake the payments on their
land and have now just about COM
pleted them, so as to have a real
equity, under the operation Of the
Single Tax it would be swept away.
Do you want such a condition as
above to exist in the State OF Missouri?
Do you want the selling value OF all
land to entirely disappear? Suppose
you wanted to move to some other
city, or to convert your land into
money-Henry George and all the
Single Takers say-that you will be
unable to do 50, because the Single
Tax destroys its selling value. *. c.

The various sections of the county
are well represented in the live stock

Poultry Show and Ladies Depart
ments are better, if possible, than

excellent during the remainder of

The free attractions provided by
the association are good and are high
