Sporting Views
By the Editor

The accident to Kelly puts the team
in another hole just as they seemed
to be about to break into the winning
column and it is douptful if they can
secure man who will be as valuable
as Kelly. The club wired to ST. Louis
last night for Gottschall, the sorrel
topped short stop, who was here earl
Ter in the season and he will probably
report to the club in Ottumwa. He is
fast on the field but was little weak
in his stick work, while here, but this
may be remedied
The amount Of pepper evinced by
the Indians in yesterdays games was
the best that they have shown this
season, and the addition of Jeffries to
the club can be held responsible for
most of it. With Queisser on first
and Jeffries behind the bat they make
noise enough to keep the team going
at top speed and should get away with
many games for this reason Jeff
made big hit yesterday with his
terrific hitting and clever exhibition
Of backstopping and also with his
antics on the coaching lines.

The Second Game.
Keokuk started out in the second
game like winners. With two out in
the opening spasm, Barnes hit past
second and went to the middle bag
when Kelly threw wild. Queisser sent
him to third on a perfect bunt and
Barnes scored when Masters made a
peg to the plate.
In the third, Sloan drew a pass,
Bresnahan flew out to Anderson:
Grogan walked on four wide ones and
Barnes scored both men with triple
to right center. Queisser doubled to
left, scoring Barnes, but could get no
further.
The fourth opened with Jeffries roll
Ing out to Frizzell and Sloan after be-
ing served four balls was not allowed
to walk, the jumps saying that the
the count was three. Frizzell put one
in Sloan Alley and Tod hit it on the
seam for four baser over the left
field fence.
-Four more were gathered in the
fifth. Taylor, who was sent in to ro-
! lieve Frizzell, forced Barnes and Queis-
ser to go out on infield hits but Hilly
singled past Masters, Jones walked
and Ginter scored Hilly with a single
| to left. Jeffries slammed the ball over
| the fence for four bags, sending Jones
and Ginter in ahead of him. After
| this the Indians rested easily
| The visitors went ahead In the third
when Anderson, the first man up,
struck out, but Frizzell doubled to
center and scored on Masters single
to left O'Brien singled to right and
Kelley scored Masters with hit to
the same spot. Hilly's error allowed
Wall to reach first but Wall and Alper-
man were out when the latter hit into
double play, Grogan to Queisser.
The Muskies tied 1t up again in the
fourth, two singles by Tierney and
Hart, coupled with an error by Jeffries
and sacrifice by Anderson counted
another. One more was slipped over
| in the seventh on a single, a base on
balls and a sacrifice fly
Umpire Nelson, who has been sign
ed to take the place of Agur, made
himself unpopular by his poor work
on balls and strikes throughout both
games and several close decisions
were missed because he was not on
top of the plays and made no effort
to get to them.

An ivory Mat.

the largest one made. 1t measures 8
by 4 feet and, though made in q small
hill state in the north of India, has an
almost Greek design for its border. 1t
was only used on state occasions. when
the rajah sat on it to sign important
documents. The original cost of the
mat is fabulous. for G.40O pounds of

CIPHER MESSAGES.
Rules That Will Help an Amateur to
Read the Riddles.

Writing in cipher. where letters or
ngures or characters. grotesQue or 9TH
erwise, are used to form the words,
while ii may look formidable to the
uninitiated is really, not difficult to
solve if one will tackle it with care
and patience.
The proper way TO set about reading
an unknown cipher is to find the letter
or figure that occurs Oftenest This is
sure to be &C." as e" is by far the COM
monest letter in the language. The
second commonest is IT." and if you
find three letter or three figure batch
often of which the last is ''e' and the
first 1t" the middle letter or figure is
sure to stand for "h." Any letter or
figure standing alone must, on clear
reasoning, be II" or ''o' or "a."
The second commonest three letter
word in a message Of any length is
sure to be "and." which gives you three
more letters for addition to the alpha
bet.
Remembering that the commonest
doubles are Zee" "oo' and IF lin the
order given) and the commonest two
letter words are che" by" ''or," "as,"
sat- and "an" lin the order given, a
person should be able to solve almost
any cipher message.

WORK OF EARTHW0RMS.
These Humble Borrowers Are Great
Aids to the Farmer.

The humble earthworm is one OF
mans best friends. The farmer and
the gardener could not spare him. DR..
]. Newton Friend tells about him in
Science Progress. From DR.. Friends
observations it appears that worms
aerate the soil in a variety Of ways.
In burrowing through the soil the
worms render it more porous and per-
meable to gases, not merely by virtue
Of the air spaces formed. but by rea-
son Of the fact that the soil is thus
continually kept in gentle motion.
Again. the soil passing through the
bodies of worms j. eNcreted in a finer
condition. being ground by attrition
through the intestines Darwin esti-
mated that no fewer than fifteen tons
of soil annually pass through the bod
les of worms for every acre.
Further. worms breathe in oxygen
and exhale carbon dioxide. and the lat
ter gas. as is well known. readily dis
solves in water, forming IN acid solu-
ton which win render alkaline earths
and metallic oxides -irOn-solubIe.
Worms materially MD in producing
soluble salts of iron in the soil when
other agencies-e G.. dilute mineral
acids-fail The iron is eventually Civ
en- back to the soil in 4 more soluble
condition and presumably in one which
can be directly absorbed by plant
roots.

PER0XIDE'S MANY USES.
II ls a Valuable Antiseptic and Can Be
Employed In Other Ways.

One of the most powerful bleaching
agents employed in various trades is
peroxide of hydrogen, also known as
hydrogen dioxide and oxygenated wa
ter. The natural color In ostrich
plumes is removed by it. and it will
also bleach a great number of other
things, such as bones, ivory, silver,
wood. silk, cotton and hair. 1t can be
used to restore the color to old oil
paintings which have become darkened
by age.
Peroxide is valuable antiseptic and
will also destroy Objectionable micro
organisms in water 1t can even be
used TO cure Indigestion. but for this
purpose as well as for other medicinal
uses it must be diluted. \ drop of
pure peroxide is strong enough TO raise
a white blister on the skin.
Minute quantities OF peroxide of by
drOgen are found In the air, in rain
water and in snow, and il is some
times found in the juices of certain
plants. The liquid is produced on a
large scale by the action of acids on
peroxide or sodium. The solution may
be concentrated by allowing the wafer
to freeze out, by passing dry air
through il or by evaporation in a va
cuum over Sulphuric acid.-New York

During the hubbub Lord Nelson was

His lordship heard the noise-he could
not do otberwiSe-and so in a loud
voice he called out:
What's all that noise about?"
The bOatsw vain answered:
My lord, the loblolly boys set fire
to an empty bottle and it's set fire to

OH said Nelson. That's all, is II?
