MOOSERS
HAVE THEIR
INNING

The Bull Moose special traversing this
section of the State yesterday, arrived in
this city on scheduled time yesterday
morning.
A number OF automobiles, principally
from Rockford, loaded to the guards, met
the new party leaders of the State at the
Lake Erie depot and escorted them in
quiet and inoffensive way, without even
the toot of a horn, to the city opera
house, where a handful of people,
sprinkled with a few dyed-i -the-wool
Democrats bent on seeing the circus,
listened to these former republicans, dis
gusted with the Taft regime rip the
stand-patters up the back and show how
unfit their late associates were to be en-
trusted with governmental affairs.
]. w. O'Niel, of Rockford, the big
Bull Moose of Mercer County, who
joined the train at st. Marys, presided
at the meeting.
Louis !. Taber, candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor, was first up. His brief
talk was followed by shorter one by
Robert r. Nevin. candidate for Attorney
General and by brief speech from
millionaire Arthur l.. Garford, their can
didate for Governor. All lauded their
party and Mr.. Roosevelt, and attempted
to show that Bull Mooseism was the only
remedy for the ills the Republicans had
brought upon us. While they sail under
a new name, they still prescribe Repub-
lican medicine, and should fool nobody.
It's Just one Republican gang trying to
push the snoots of the other gang out Of
the political trough.
AS soon as the above gentlemen said
their little pieces they made hike for
Greenville, their special in the meantime
being switched to the {. n.
They left standed here, to preach the
thinly veneered new gospel, one Ran
dolph W. Walton, candidate for Con-
gressman-at-large, who talked the few
faithful followers and inquisitive Demo-
Gratis to sleep. After seeing the work
of these spell-binders, we are at loss
to know whether it's Taft or Teddy that
is running the side show. The fight for
oblivion seems to be about even.

last Sunday when they defeated the fast
Dayton Lily Brews by a score of to l.
The game was loosely played on the part
of the visitors, who scored their only
run on an error and couple of scratch
hits in the seventh inning. Geo. Myers,
Celina's big and popular shortstop was
again the batting attraction last Sunday,
sacrificing and getting four clean hits in
as many times up. Capt. Betz also hit
the sphere for three bingles out of four
times up, and every time when hit
meant runs. Rowan pitched his usual
wonderful game. He was a bit wild at
the outset, walking man, the only base
on balls he has given in his three games
on the local diamond.

EVERYTHING FOR TABLE EXCEPT POSSIBLY MEAT TO BE CHEAP.
 FER THIS FALL.
BIG CROPS TO CAUSE DROP
George p. SchoPp, Robert Friend and Other St Louis Commission Men Enthusiastic Over
 Prospects.

St. Louis. Sept. 2.-Everything that goes on the dinner table this winter will be 50 per cent cheaper in cost than last year, with the possible ex- ception of meat, commission men said Saturday. Potatoes are plentiful and the market price of last year, which already has dropped, will continue ur- til the potato is back at the price of dozen years ago.
 George P. Schopp, president of the George P. Schopp Company, in speak ing of the prices that will rule in the market, said that all vegetables and fruits are cheaper now than last year and this winter will in some instances be cheaper than in 10 years.
 "The talk of the high cost of living is thing of the past said Schopp. There is no high cost now The housewife who purchased fruit for pre-. serving knows that, and she can rest assured that 1t will continue. There is only one thing that possibly can in. interfer with the cost of produce get. ting as low as 1t ever has been, and that is a shortage of freight cars. If the cars can be obtained to carry the produce to the centers where it is con. sumed, prices will strike rock bottom
 Apple Crop Enormous.
 "The apple crop this year is enor nous. It is the biggest in 15 years Calhoun and Pike counties, just above St. Louis, will ship at least 5O0,00C barrels this year.
 ''The corn crop has been good and there is no reason why the price oi beef should not go down. Of course cattle is on a different plane than the produce that is handled by commits sion men. It may take year or so tC get the farmers back to the position where they can handle stock for the market. In my mind the high cost oi beef has been caused by a shortage oi corn. The big crop now will enable the farmers to raise more stock. Butter also ought to get cheaper For instance, if the food for the COW is plentiful, 1t becomes cheaper and the cheaper to keep the COW the cheaper the milk ought to be. T have spent three weeks in the North and Northwest studying condi tions and talking with produce men from all sections of the country, and they all agree with me that the coun try is having the greatest crops in years.
