tigate the deaths of the two Ameri-
cans, one named Phillips and the other
Harvey Dodd Of Kosciusko, Miss,
who are reported to have been mur-

Of Leon.
State department advices included
these men among the dead and added
that they had been killed while
wounded and seeking refuge in hos

federal army the United States can do
nothing but protest against the unciv-

were noncombatants the state depart

the rebels are marching victoriously
through the country, taking all the

Rain Makes High Prices.

Sandusky. - Excessive rain since
July 1 is tending to make higher
prices, according to reports from rural
districts. Potatoes, tomatoes and
other vegetables, fruits, grains and
berries are rotting as a result of too
much moisture. Island region peaches
have been affected and the crop will
be below last years, growers say. Ap-
pies, too, unless given special atten-
ton, are of an inferior quality and
fewer than in past seasons. The cab
bage crop has been affected but a
larger acreage than usual was planted
and sauerkraut will be plentiful, say
manufacturers.

 The pitchers have not been very pro- digious wieders of the bludgeon. The five twirlers have secured but five extra base hits and Boyd has secured two of these. He is the only pitcher who has stolen base and is leading in nearly every respect. A peculiar fact is that Dilger has not stolen base, sacrificed or hit for more than single. However, he has been hit by pitcher once.
 In every respect the Barons' average Is above the standard. The Barons lead the league as team in stolen bases and rank high as eXtra-base hitters.
