In reporting this game l can
only use plain everyday English.
/ never learned the Base Ball
language and cannot talk it..
In the first place the promoters
of this great game used great
discretion in selecting the mater
ial for the lineup.
On the part of the Fats they
chose those requiring the long
est time to pass a given point,
and those of the Leans who could
not distinguish between a back
ache and a pain in the stomach.
Bv this means they assembled a
bunch of talent that made tears
come to many eyes when they
got fairly into eruption.
The weather was fine, the
praudstand filed. The ambu-
lance, the arnica and court plas'
ter. and liberal supply of II Q
having all been provided, Play
Ball" was sounded by the UNI
pire at 2:3O, and the eagerly
waited-for, the greatest-ever'
game was on. The time to make
good was at hand.
All the week before there had
been dire threats from both sides
about what each was going to dc
10 the other. Doc Boswell OF the
Fats had said: ''That bunch o.
measly microbes amt got nothin
ON Us; we'll beat 'em to a FRAGILE,
while Gus Luudgren of the Leans
was saying: THAT insignificant
school of jelly-6sh won't know
they've been in the game; they
are too slow to catch cold"
At the call, Batter up
friendship ceased, and from that
time on there was something do
ing every minute. ! shall moi
attempt to give an account o.
this game BY innings, but wi
lust generalise q little and notice
only a few Of the salient points
Of il.
Several Of the innings were
doR-falls, bat most Of them were
very strenuous and exciting.
That thoussnd ampers pitcher

The Fats were cautioned not to
get excited over his pitching;
that he would blow up" in a
little while. But he didn't; the
fuse burned out and stopped his
current and the stuff was off with
him. He is a good boy and
means we'll, but dispensing cigars
and soft drinks doesn't develop
the muscles like pulling a razor,
and when that S0-horse power
twirler, Jennings, went into the
box for the Fats he was there to
stay until along toward the last
when he realized that he was
wasting good Drawn and muscle
needlessly and took a rest. In
the beginning the Leans took a
lead to the extent of S scores,
and were getting considerably
inflated over the outlook.
But the Fats were only getting
warmed up and when Jim Good
win, Mike Reddy, Joe Vincent,
Doc Boswell and the rest of the
heavyweights finally got timber
ed and in action right they pro-
ceeded to take the vanity out of
that lot of unfortunates who were
getting loud over a few scores.
Their slogan was ''sOc-et-tu-um. "
The way they did smite that ball
in the nose and send it home was
a sin. They made single runs,
double runs and home runs; they
filled the bases then hurded the
boys in so fast the score keepers
called for a halt until they could
catch up, until they had rolled
up score of 20 to a paltry II
for the opposition, when the
game ended.
The Leans were simply be-
wildered and paralysed, but It is
hoped they will all recover.
The real sensational stunts of
the game we're put on BY Harry
Hartley and Bill Jones. When
Harry went to bat along about
the eighth inning he fabricated
his hands. took 4 firm grip on the
stick, and Just as the pitcher let
90 the ball Harry struck with
tremendous force to get up speed
and spun like 4 Whirliug Der
wish. By the third revolution
the bali had arrived and cOllided
with the bat and sailed away 70
! tie high weeds u tie outer cen.

ter field, where it was lost for 1C
minutes. In the meantime Harry
had made a home run and Catcher
Wyatt had gotten down off the
backstop, where he had climbed
for safety.
Then Bill Jones put on his
show out in the center field. He
didn't propose that the Leans
should be outdone. Some fellow
sent a high fly out his way and
he simply laid down at point OF
destination, stuck his feet up in
the air at the proper angle, LET
the ball strike his soles and
bound a few feet in the air, and
drop back into his hand while ly'
ing fiat on his back. The Fats
objected to a backstop in center
field, but finally withdrew the
objection.
Considering the kind of game
this was, the people in the grand
stand were remarkably quiet.
1t is thought they suppressed
their excitement as much as pos
sible, fearing an explosion would
blow the roof off. 1t will leak
some after all their precaution.
The umpire's decisions were
all right, especially those that
we're against the other fellow.

Our Farmer Friends.

Leonard Stoskopf and VALLEY
Stoskopf are just recovering
from a bad mess of measles
And they are both old enough t.
! know better.
Ben Banning is just getting
over the measles. He has beer
confined to the house.
S. T. Coe has been having q
lot of fun with chinch bugs. HI
put down a number of two-inct
augur holes along the roadside
in the dust, and he says the bugs
filled the holes very quickly
When the holes would fill up he
would kill the bugs, then clear
out the holes and let EN- fill ul
again. But the heavy wind Of
last Friday just picked up the
bugs and carried them over into
his corn anyway. Up to that
time, however, he was successful
in keeping the bugs out OF his
corn.
Pearl Button, living out south
west of town, says he has IS
acres of the best corn he has ever
had, and at the time he told us
about it was entirely free from
bugs.
Dick Fancher's wife and chick
ems are helping him get rid oil
bugs. He says his wife has six
hundred chickens, and they have
about got rid of the bugs in the
sweet cotn.
The rains of Sunday afternoon
and Sunday night were of great
value to this section. While not
real heavy in town, except for a
short time, there was a heavy
fall west and south of Us. The
country out west and down south
got a good rain last Saturday,
too. Clear to the Neosho river
on the west and south the fall
was heavy. and is of inestimable
value to grass and corn.
The country south Of us is get
ting one rain a week right along,
and that is enough.
Karl Kane tells us his corn
looks as ine us can Be imagined.
BE has been having quite q time

ditch, and dragged it regularly
up to the time it rained, and he
says he got rid of millions of the
pests.
Oats are nearly all cut, and il
is thought in most instances the
yield will be very satisfactory.
Thrashing has commenced,
and we expect to- hear of some
good yield. We wish our farmer
friends would report yields which
are above the average.
r. o. Thomas has his big con.
crete silo finished, and it is a
beauty. It has a capacity of
about 16O tons. Mr.. Thomas
superintendent the work, and he
certainly did a good job of it.
Billy Davies, J. C. Naylor and
John Foley are getting ready to
put up their silos.
John Banning was in town
early Monday, and his grin was
of the Taft variety. John tells
us the reason the bugs are not
so bad with him as with some
other people is because he is a
Teddyite.
This locality is especially fav-
ored this year. The wheat and
oats have made a good crop, and
the weather has been so that the
farmers could work the corn and
it is in excellent condition. Grass
is coming nicely since the. rain,
and the corr is just a poppin.
Well, the people in this commun-
ity are as fine as can be found
anywhere, and deserve to succeed
those who work.
The big rain last Monday even
ing has removed many wrinkles
and frowns from the faces of the
people, and the showers of Tues
day helped to keep away the
frowns.

INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE COMMISSION

The Nevada Industrial Insurance Commission was a concep-
ton of the Democrats, was pat into legal shape by Democrats
ton of the Democrats was put into legal shape by Democrats
and passed by a Democratic Legislature. From its start 1t mas
been a success and is rapidly displacing many insurance com
panies that have heretofore taken many thousands OF dollars o'
of the state. Today nearly every prominent business house and
mining company in the state has complied with its forms and e.
come an integral part of its machinery.
When a newspaper states that the commission is a growing
success many people will take the assertion with a grain OF salt,
but letters from those who have acted as agents for persons who
haev come under the beneficence of the act may be taken a S abso-
lutte; they know whereof they speak. SO in order that there may
be no misrepresentation as to the regard in which the commission
is held by the public, the Appeal has secured from }. }. Mulhn,
secretary of the commission, a few letters from people who have had
experience with the workings of the body and it is breaking no
confidence in giving publicity to one or two of them. The annexed
one, from the Italian consul of San Francisco, is typical OF a num-
Der received, and is as follows:
Il have your favor of the 9th in relation to the Todesco and
Serpa claims. l have written both claimants regarding the merits
of their eases and the conclusion reached by your honorable COM
mission, and have forwarded each one a translation of your letter
express my appreciation for the prompt and considerate manner
in which you treated the above mentioned claims
From the manager of the Steptoe Smelling and Mining COM
pany at McGill, the following was received: Il want to thank
you for your promptness in rendering these statements, and to
dering settlement Of the claim of Mrs. Ellis, the widow of Alma
Ellis. The dispatch in rendering just and equitable settlement in
this case will have an excellent effect
The letters above quoted are but two of the many received
by the secretary of the commission, but the same sentiment runs
through them all, and indicates the appreciation and satisfaction
of those who have had dealings with the commission.

GOldfield
Has Excellent Ore

Development continues at a NUM-
Der of points in the Florence Gold
field mine and highly satisfactory e
suits are reported, although the COM
pany has ceased shipping its product
to the Bonie Claire mill. 1t has not
been definitely announced whether
the company will resume shipping
to this plant. but it is stated that
there is a large tonnage of excel
lent milling ore in the mine and that
in the absence of interruptions to
milling operations a good profit can
DC made here in the treatment of ore.
c. o. D. Con.
Operations are continuing on the
c. O.. d. Consolidated, on the Gold
Ban and Victor claims, of which the
Cllas. Sprague Brokerage company is
the local representative. The work
at present is chiefly confined to the
800 foot level, which was started
from the Gold Bar shaft and which
has been connected with the Victor
shaft at a depth here of about $50
feet. Quantities of good milling ore
have been exposed on both levers,
although some of the product is re-
fIactory and may require other pro-
cesses of treatment to successfully
recover the mineral content than
those now in use in the district.-Tri-
Eune.

with a crowd of thousands more shoppers like themselves selecting
presents and geegaws for which the shop keepers soak them
good and plenty. A large proportion of the presents consists OF
toys which children destroy in about two hours after getting their
hands on them.
Most of them make outlandish noises which drive adlhs to
strong drink and when the yuletidc has passed the head 81 the
family breathes a sigh of relief and wonders if his f!attened
pocketbook will ever resume it's normal proportions. TIE whole
thing really amounts to little more than swapping presents with
everybody that snapped with you the year before. The only real
benefit derived from the custom is to put the shopkeepers on
velvet for the next sixty days. 1t is a good, old custom, however,
and will never be abolished.

LINCOLN GREATEST OF ALL

Lord Curzon, chancellor Of Oxford University, has decar-
ed that Abraham Lincoln was superior to all Britons IS master
of modern English eloquence.
This is u confession of fact, rather than another laurel
leaf to the fame of the Great Emancipation.
For Lincoln won that rank when his words brought con
ISOLATION to the hearts grieving over fallen defenders of a coun-
try torn by fraticidal strife; when his phrases of wisdom guided
Alright the patriots and COMPOUNDED the traitors; when he stood
on the field of Gettysburg and spoke those immortal sentences
that touched the heart of a nation believed with tears of regret.
Lincoln was eloquent because he understood the language
OF nature, which cannot be learned in schools; because he pos
sessed the greatness of heart, the honor, virtue, magnanimity
sympathy, and deep religious spirit which kindled the fires Of
genius and called into the mind those splendid thoughts, CARRIED
in simplicity OF language, which vii! live while the mother tongue
exists.
Ills eoquence was the expression of a great soul, which
stirred other souls to their betterment-an elOquence bold in the
consciousness of its superiority and fearless and unyielding in
the purity of it's motives.
OF him may it be said:
His words seemed Oracles
That pierced their bOsoms.

SPEAKING OF THE DEAD

All overtures made by the party leaders of the Republicans
of Nevada to induce the Bull sloose people to come back to the
fold and he forgiven have met with sorry results. They have ex-
tended a large, fresh looking olive branch of peace to rampant
Progressves and Offered them their choice Of places on the state
ticket for the next election, but the Bull Moose people shake
their heads and say Nay, Pauline or words to that effect.
They ask derisivey what will be the sense of getting on a ticket
that stands no chance of election.
This seems to be an argument that cannot be answered by
the Republicans, who realize more every day that the party is
too badly shot to pieces to enable any one to hang it OF a brush
fence. Unless the Progressives return to the fold there cannot
be a man elected on the Republican ticket and the party leaders
know it. The recent elections in the east show a decided gain
for the ProgresIves and the gain comes from more Republicans
joining them. There is nothing really left for the sympathisers
of the late Republican party to do except to give the nearest
stonecntter an order for some modest monument to mark the rest
ing place of the dead. If it is not done soon it will be impossible
to find the place where the interment took place. One season
of snow and rain and grass growing will obliterate the spot
forever.
Anthony Comstock and Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont are having a
lively scrap in New York. Mrs. Belmont is putting on sale some
of her writings regarding the social evil which Comstock con-
siders improper. Mrs. Belmont, a noted society leader in New
York, and ii leading suffragette. openly defies Comstock and
practically tells him to mind his own business. About all the
business Comstock even had was in smelling about New York
trying TIC find something that had offended his nostris. He is not
taken seriously any more in Gotham but merely regarded a S a
harmless sore of a crank by some and an arrant humbug by
others. He has made a fairly good living out of his grand stand
business for many years and as long as he can keep in the lime
light he can be wi of an income.

ated a sensation at the county clerk office a few DAYS ago when
she applied for a marriage license. She had a slit skirt, and d

rights Americans have in Japan"
A Japanese Opinion.

The directors OF the Panama Pacific
international exposition. which is to
take place at san francisco in 1915.
were among the FIRST Californians to
urge temperance, asserting that an act
nufavorable to Japan might cause that
nation to withdraw her exhibits from
the exposition. Japan's prominence as
factor in the exposition is thus re
ferred to by Kiyoshi *. Kawakaml
author of "American-Japanese Rela-
tons. in the Chicago Record-Heraid
"The Indignation and excitement
with which the Japanese are protest
ing against the unfrieudly activities Of
the California legislature can he readi
Is accounted FOR when it Is recalled
that only half year since the dele
gates Of The ranama-p 2citic exposition
went over 20 the other side Of the Pa
ciic and told the Japanese government
and people that the Californans were
friendly disposed toward Japan and
that the coming exposition at San
Francisco would greatly strengthen
the bond Of friendship between the
two nations
"rbey frankly admitted that the sue
cess or failure Of the exposition de
pended on Japans acceptance or re
fusal to cooperate with the exposition
management
"They knew that to most European
nations California was a sort of out
post Of territory Of the United States
and san Francisco but frontier town
without Japan's participation in the
exposition, therefore. the participation
of the leading European powers was
extremely doubtful"
Mr. KawaEami also writes:
"If California does not adopt the
anti-Japanese land bills Japan will,
