ton to work in the series there while
Keokuk is playing the Pathflnders.
Fleming, believed to be the bet Of
umpires in the league, will come to
Keokuk on next Sunday to work here.
There was some hope that Glenalvin
would come back as he put a barrel
Of ginger into things and the attend
ance increased hundred during the
two days that he was in Keokuk this
week
The staff of Central umpires is
now composed of Fleming, Pfirman,
Glenalvin and Boswell, Fcton reported

fore his sight is restored to normal.

the deck for 10S days, Captain
Charleston of the Liverpool steamer
Harold successfully piloted his vessel
from Sydney, Australia, to Queens
town without the aid of a single Of
ficer or any one else who had any
knowledge of navigation. Captain
Charleston was unable to get officers
at Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide,
or any other port he touched, but
was compelled to continue his voy-
age. For stretches of six weeks at
a time he was unable to change his
clothes, and he had to take his sleep
in brief snatches in a cabin chair
placed on the poop. He was much
exhausted on arriving at Queenstown,
but declared that he was not going to
trust his vessel to foreign sailors and
would go Straight on to Liverpool if
necessary.

Head of Army Believes 1t i'm Better

Country.

Portland, Ore, Aug. I'm con-
nectlon with a statement he made in
San Francisco to the effect that he

War Garrison declared today that he

would increase the standing
army to 100000" said Secretary
Garrison. 81 would concentrate the
force in few posts. / would back
1t up with proper reserves, proper
national guard, and, most important
of all, with a people who understand
the real purposes of an army and
support it.
An army is not for war. 1t is to
promote peace. 1t is big peace in
surance. | do not believe that an
efficient standing army is a guaran-
tee of peace. 1t takes two to make
peace as well as to make war. An
army, properly organized and used
will promote international righteous
ness"
The secretary's reference to the
army as it is now constituted was
enthusiastic tribute of praise.
THE army is very efficient" he
said. 1T was never so good as now.
For its size there is not better
army in the world and l doubt if
there is one as good. There is a
splendid spirit among the soldiers,
and the officers are keen and wide
awake
What we want is for the people
to back up the soldiers. We want
them to understand what we are try
ing to do. The army isn't made up
of lot of war bullies. 1t is organ
lied for the protection of the people
with the people supporting it,"

CAPTURED A BEAR CUB
Ashland Party Captured Three
MOnths-Old Bear Cub in Red
Mountain Country.

Professor Irving E. Vining and
Darrell Minkler and Fay Phillips re-
turned Sunday from the Red noun
tain country, bringing in big five
point buck and a three-months-old
live bear cub. Professor Vining
says that the party had strenuous
time with young bruin.
Professor Vining and the boys left
Ashland about ten days ago with two
pack burros for hike into the noun
tains. Over near Red mountain they
encountered. Henry Bailey and E. j.
Mahan on a hunting tour and the
parties Joined forces, shooting fine
five-point buck, which had several
bullets in it and which Mr.. Vining
says is uncertain who killed. They
also encountered a three-months-ol
bear cub which promptly climbed a
tree, while the mother, who was evil
IDENTIFY a "suffragette" bear, retreat
ed to the jungle and began to howl.
/
Young bruin was smoked out of the
tree and when he struck the ground
Ed Mahan jumped him. The cub
grabbed Ed by the leg and held on
like bulldog, and had to be choked
loose. While the process was going
on the cub succeeded in scratching
Eds hand badly.
The cub was finally conquered and
the party thought that their troubles
were over, but they had only begun.
Professor Vining and the two boys,
being about ready to start for home,
volunteered to bring bruin in. They
tied his feet securely muZzled him
and put him in a gunnysack on one
of the burros. Before they had trav-
eled many miles he had chewed his
muzzle off, loosened his feet and was
rapidly chewing his way out of the
bag to liberty when discovered. AT
ter several attempts to keep him in a
sack they were compelled to tie his
feet together and hang him on the
burro head down, until he was al
most out of commission. This pro-
ceeding did not suit Mr.. Burro and
he took several side trips down the
mountains, which sadly disarranged
his pack. To make a long story
short, they finally got the lively
youngster to Ashland, and he is now
at Harry Hosler's cigar store. Pro-
fessor Vining says he would not
again attempt the task of bringing
in a cub like that for 800, but
having started they were bound not
to give up.
The little animal has conceived
quite liking for Harry Hosler and
will let him caress him, but snaps at
strangers quickly.
Professor Vining and the boys
traversed about 70 miles during their
hike, taking their burros in some OF
the steepest canyons on the Little
Applegate and Big Beaver country
Much of the way they had to make
their own way in. Coming out, Pro
fessor Vining secuted the country
and blazed a trail over to the Red
mountain country.
