Wireless Works Better at Night.
That tho long electric waves util-
zed in aerial telesraphy over great
distances travel better during the

and that the natural electric waves
occasioned by atmospheric electric
discharges, known as "strays" or
KS" to wireless operators. arc de-
,patchad more. satisfactorily during

knowledge.
Tests made in London during tho

that the darkness Of this eclipse had

propagation OF these waves oyeT great

Could Not Land One.

The series of base ball games played
by the Raymer team Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday could not yield them even
one victory. Friday at Keota. they lost
by score Of l3 to 16. The next day
on the local diamond the scrubs with
the regular battery to aid them put it
all over the regular team, Schmcckle
pitching in great form. +
Sunday at Weldona, the game ended
in the belief that they had captured by
score of 10 to II, but alas when tine
score was up, it was found to be a tie,
10 to 10.

The Baseball, Fan

If you are interested in the popular
American game of baseball no doubt
you have read many columns Of "dope"
about the star players. But there is
one individual, or rather class of in
dividuals, you seldom hear about that
are very necessary to the success of
the game from professional stand
point. These are the fans" who help
to make the game interesting for the
spectator and often miserable for the
players. On another page of this issue
you vii! find good story of the "fans"
as they have been observed by Hugh S.
Fullerton. the wel!-known baseball wri-
ter, in his travels around the big league
circuits. Whether you are "bug" or
just lover of clean sports, you'll find
this story worth while reading.

County Clerks once Pays
Under a law enacted by the last Gen
eral Assembly, all motor vehicles (aut,
omobiles, motorcycles. etc.) will be
required to be registered with and hold
license and number from the Secretary
OF State and the authority of towns
and cities to license them will cease.
The county clerk of each county may
be designated as the agent of the state
in that county, but the rules govern
ing the issuance Of licenses are made
by the secretary of state. These rules
have not yet been issued.
Cost of licenses is fixed as follows:
For motorcycle, 81; for autos up to 20
horse power, $3.50; autos from q to 40
horse power, S.: autos Al horsepower
and over, $40.
The money derived iron. these liccns-
es is divided equally, fifty per cent to

Some miscreant broke into one of
the school houses in this district and
committed acts that would shame any
thing human with brains enough to
have pain in the region of the head.
This is not the first time that this par
ticular school house has been subjected
to criminal depredations, and some
young fellows will find themselves on
the road to the reform school some of
these fine days, If it does net stop.
The acts done, did not do any one any
good, but were destructive of public
property. Books were destroyed, the
dictionary ruined, and other dirty
tricks performed, that showed the per-
petrator possessed of dirty low ma
ture, too contemplate for association
with a respectable skunk, and if they
were worth wasting words on, or had
intelligence enough to be shamed into
decency by good hot roast, we would
try our hand ut handing them one, but

them. However, a reward will be Civ
