LOCALS WINS FAST
 CAME FROM NORMAL
BATTLE RESULTS IN VICTORY FOR CITY TEAM,
 SCORE ? TO 1.

The fastest game of baseball ever played on Normal field was played yesterday afternoon between the State Normal and the City city team, re- quiring only one hour to complete the seven-inning contest.
 Both pitchers were in excellent con- dition, neither walking man. Pier cey's support was shade better than that of his opponent, Browning. Both moundmen struck out two men.
 Conway was the first to send a man across the pan. In the third McCul- loch was out, short to first. Hamberg doubled to left-center field Piercey flew to left. J. Legg singled over first, Hamberg cavorting home. Erwin was safe on Goza's error in the seventh round. Clark sacrificed him to second. Ellis hit for two bases, Erwin scam- pering home with the winning run.
 The teachers tally came in the fourth stanza. Webb lambasted the leather far over the center fielder, talk ing three bases on the hit. Goza laid

ANCIENT SURGERY.

While the medical profession is agreed that some rough form of sur gerry must have existed from very an- cient times, it has always been a mat ter of wonder that so complex and del icate an operation as trepanning should also have been one of the old est.
 There is authentic record of this op- eration dating back to the time of Hip pocates, who wrote treatises on frac- lures, dislocations and wounds of the head, wherein he described the method of procedure to be followed in the case of fractured skull. His idea was to cut away piece of bone so that the pressure of the brain might be relieved.
 The annals of this era show that a file was used for the purpose, which, at a time when modern anaesthetics were unknown, must have been, to say the least, painful.
 According to Holmes, the operation of removing pieces of bone was per formed long before historic times. The effects of the skull are easily seen af- ter death, and are visible as long as the bones are preserved. From in spection of certain skulls of the latter stone age in ancient Britain, there has been derived the conclusion that some of these had undergone the operation which must have been performed with stone implement.-Hgrper' Weekly

a Fighting President.

The American people seem to have
elected another fighting president. In

OF the word 'fght-and his career as
governor has proved he isn't afraid Of

People like the leadership OF a fight
ing man. They showed this by their
confidence in Cleveland and Roosevelt.
Wilson can depend on the same back

instead of the telephone. the cable and
wireless are to be relied upon to bring
about this anniversary intimacy.

way had been found to adapt the Morse

Petersburg or Honolulu. or. IL desirable,
clear around the world. Now. only a few
days later, comes news that the American
and Russian governments are arranging
10 establlSh a wireless service across Ber-
ing sea. which would form a new connec-
tlon bet ween the old world and the new
and which would complete the wireless
girdle round the globe.
Ten years ago either one of. these
achievements would have been included
among the list of i~mprobahilities. to say
the least. But now both are accepted as
part of the days work. improvements
both small. and epoch-making. develop so
