KINDER Is VICTIM OF
OPELOUsAS TEAM

With the dope strongly in its
favor the Peavy-R -Rynres team OF
Kinder came to Opelousas on
last Sunday almost certain OF
winning from the local boys.
But they were sadly mistaken,
as Opalousas ran away with
them and would have shut the
visitors .out, had it not been for
a few costly errors. Kinder had
defeated Eunice by the score of
Is to @, whilst Opelausas had
played close games with the
.Eunice bunch; with this dope
Opelousas seemed to be doomed,
but the boys came from behind
and easily Vanquished the hard
hitting lunaber men by the score
of s to 5.
Tom Casey was the most bril-
liant of the stars, striking 10
meR. getting two tWo-baggers
and one home run But Brous-
sard. the plueky little third base
man. played and hat the ball Like
a big Lacquer. having secured
three !safeties. noWey, t b e
catcher. played magnificent ball.
p eg ging most accurately.
Charles Dejean was aeen at first
and covered the initial bag in an
excellent manner. Charles
Thompson, who played in the
outfeld, led the batters in the
first inning and paved the way
for the defeat of the visitors,
getting a hit In left field where
upon Franciono bunted and beat
it out, and Broussard brought 7
both runners in home with a hit
n the outheld.
T his makes the fifteenth
game which the Opelousas team
las copped and it appears now
hat there is no team in this Sec
ion of Louisiana which is suf-
icientiy strong enough to give
he local boys decent game.
There are one or two teams
Iround New Orleans claiming
he amateur championship of the
tate, and It is generally under
tood that Manager Loeb will
.ndeavor to arrange to settle the
lecision on the local diamond.
let 0pelousas beat the best in
he state, then it will be the real
hampions.
Opelousas will play the Lake
arthur team, on the local dia-
nond, tomorrow afternoon.

Died.

Mrs. Corine Louise Pitre, &e.
loved wife of Raphel .BoudreaE.
died at Washington Manday and
was haried Tuesday at that
place. She was sixty -four years
old, and is survived by a loving
husband, two sons, Thomas
Boudreau of Washingtonand Dr..
Willie Boudreau, formerly Cor
oner of this Parish, now a lead
ing physician of New Iberia,
and -four daughters, Mrs. Joseph
Lalande of Lafayette, Mrs. A..
D. st. Cyr of OpelGazsas, Mrs.
Hugh McWiggins Of Dubuque,
Iowa, and Mrs. Herbert E. Kerr
also of Lafayette.
1t is the lot of few to live es1t
the full time allotted to US on
earth and enjoy at all times the
full confidence, admiration. and
love of all with whom we come in
contact. Such was the life and
such was the privilege of Mrs.
Boudreau. She was of a lovely
disposition. kind to her husband,
children, and grand children. of
spotless purity and nobility of
character; her gentieness of
manner, her amiability and her
delicate sense of honor. won the
admiration of all.
She was a devout Catholic.
and before her last illness took
an active part in the considera-
ton of her religious duties. ex-
pressing herself freely of the
necessity OF each and every per-
son attending Church regularly
and observing all fast days and
9th er religious obligations.
Though sincere and positive in
her views, she offended none. as
all knew her utterances were the
dictates of d pure and honest |
heart.
It was impossible to know her
without partaking to some ex-
tent of her noble and religious
nature and her exalted qualities.
She was kind and affectionate to
her husband, children, and to
her friends, and no sacrifice was
TOO great for her to make in
their behalf.
In the later years of her life
sile lived in the retirement of
ner rural home at Washington;
though sick, yet at all times pa
uent and full of hope.
The hand of affection had been
weighing heavily on her forl.
many months during which the
pure ore of her nature was made
20 shine the brighter, until itt.
ost its hrilliancy to human
vision in the brighter glory Oft
heaven. Very many will lament
aer demise. and with us tender
helr enduring sympathy to her
sorrowing husband and family.

FIRE AT PRATT DID DAMAGE.

Pratt, Kas., May PA fire broke
out in the Novelty Works and de-
stroyed the Coe paint shops, the Foss
millinery store and injured the Cal.
beck building to some extent.
The fire broke out about l o'clock
this morning and while the wind was
blowing from an approaching storm.
The alarm was not heard by but few
of the residents and but nine of the
firemen were on duty.
The loss will reach up pretty well.
At the COe, paint shops there was a
small supply Of paint, some fine pic.
lures that had just been finished and
several signs of costly work. The en-.
tire stock of the Novelty Works was
destroyed together with several mo.
torcycles and bicycles. Mrs. Foss los
nearly all of her millinery goods to.
gether with much of her household
goods, as she lived in the rear Of her
store.
Not much insurance was carried on
the three buildings or their contents.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

If you are fond of figuring, solve
this one: Tom and John were two
farmer boys living u miles from
, town and they wanted to attend the
Fourth of July celebration, but had
only one bicycle to ride; therefore,
they decided I'd ride and walk alter
nately until they reached their desti-
nationnatiOn. Either one of the boys
was able to walk four miles an hour,
and could ride 16 miles an hour on
che bicycle. Tom started out on the
wheel and John started to walk. Tom
rode two miles and left his wheel for
John to ride when he caught up. job
took the wheel and rode two miles
and left it for Tom to use when he
caught up, and continued this opera
ton until both reached the city. They
both started from home at 6 O'Clock
In the morning. What time did each
arrive in the city?

COMING EVENTS
IN BASE BALLOON

Beginning next Tuesday, june 8,
we have series Of nine games on
the home grounds-June 3, and 5,
with Lyons, s, 7 and 8 with Manhat-
tan, and 9, 10 and II with Salina.
The home team Is now going good
and is in third place, and while we
do not claim an aggregation of stars,
We now have a classy, well balanced
team and one which puts up an ar
ticle of base ball which is well worth
what 1t costs, in time and money, to
see.
1t is no secret that large attend
ance is a necessity from a financial
standpoint, as the team entered the
race somewhat handicapped In this
particular. For this reason, as well
as for the reason that moral support
helps a team to win, a large attend
ance is not only desirable but neces-
sary during the coming series. With
average luck we should stand near
the head of the percentage column
when we play the last game with Sa-
lima on June II.
Ladies will be admitted free at the
gate Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri.
days. The regulation governing this
matter this year provides that a
small guarantee must be paid the
visiting team and that gate and
grandstand receipts are to go to the
home team. Why not make this ser
les big winner financially as well
as otherwise?
The games are all called at 9:15
which makes very convenient hour
for automobile parties from surround
ing towns to be in attendance. In
previous seasons the bank account oil
the association has been replenished
literally by patronage from nearby
towns, and we trust that they will
not be disappointed in this particular
this season. The teams of the leagu,
are stronger this season than in pre-,
vious years and the games are better
worth the price than ever before.

past ten years:

Hutchinson News.
Without doubt some portions of the
state are to be blessed with a big
crop, but the fact remains that in
what is regarded as the real wheat
belt of the state conditions are not o.
the best. Long continued drouth has
reduced the prospect in much of the
territory in the western half of the
state to point where many now con
slider it ready for the total failure
column. Limited areas west of US
will have a fair crop, while in othel
sections much of it is now beyond
all hope of relief. Locally, some 81
the wheat will make good yield il
moisture in sufficient quantities car
be had within a few days. In Bar
ton county and much of the territory
from here west the prospect had
We believe, been overestimated from
the start, owing to the fact that the
plant is thin on the ground and did
not stool sufficiently to make big
yield a possibility. Prospects for a
bumper crop were badly shattered by
the long continued high winds early
in the spring and being followed as
it was with couple of months in
which there has been no general fall
of rain We are inclined to the belief
that the western half of the state
has, at no stage of the game, been
able to discern a prospect for a crop
of more than average proportions.
Of course, sick cats often get
WE'LL" and moisture now would &C.
complish wonders, but We are willing
to go on record with the guess that
the 1913 crop will be nearer seventy
million bushels than it is to ninety
million as now claimed by majority
of the crop experts.
