Picnic Base Ball

The morning game between For
ker and Laclede's second nine was
played very we'll by Forker and they
won by a top heavy score.
In the afternoon the fat and
leano game, from which all ball
players we're barred, furnished lots
Of fun for the big crowd. The
fats /" were soon winded, however,
and the leans won Is to 5 in
four innings. Some Of the most
sensational fielding ever seen IN
Laclede featured this game, and
the uniforms worn by the players
were strikingly original-the fats
being especially conspicuous in
their brilliantly colored and much
berufied flowing garb. One acci-
dent marred the game, Harry May
bee being struck by pitched ball,
which broke his glasses, cutting a
cash under bis eye.
The yictors were George Haight,
j. H. Nichols, Lee Hamilton, Her
bert Allen, Carl Sayles. Tom Wood,
Charlie Goodwin, Lafe Moore and
Virgil Triplett. The losers were
Howard Carothers, VIM. Shell, J.
w. Moberly, John Patrick, Clay
Bigger, OrviIle Mahurin, n. Byrne.
Harry Maybee. Moan Cotter and
Floyd Pratt.
Capt. Clay Bigger protested the
game on the grounds that the leans
purposely crippled their best pitch
er. stole their signals, bought The

Myers Defeated

That the rank and file of the
progressive party of this county
are honest in their declaration
against political bosses there can
be no longer any doubt. Harry
Myers, who aspired to not only be
boss of his own party but to
dictate to and be boss of all other
parties, was defeated for com
mitteeman for the progressives
from his ward in Brookfield last
Tuesday and is therefore shorn of
the power he has arbitrarily used
in the past,

A Big CROWD HERE
Harvest Home Picnic Visitors Had
Good Time Wednesday

Laclede's harvest home picnic
and agricultural convention held
last Wednesday was q success from
every standpoint. The crowd was
large, in fact larger than was
anticipated. The Brookfeld band
and Linn quartette furnished music
and the program was put through
on time. In the afternoon Rev.
Mendenhall made an able and
eloquent address on the subject Of
agriculture and proved himself
to be more familiar with that sub
iect than many who have made it
their life study and occupation.
He is indeed man of many re-
sources and a handy man to have
around on occasions of that kind.
The parade at 1870 was probably
the best ever gotten up here and it
is doubtful if anything better was
ever gotten up in the county. It
was nearly mile long and con-
sisted Of the band, boy scouts,
base ball teams, horse back riders,
floats and automobiles. ]. B..
-s. =.
Patrick was awarded the premium
for the best float, Stutsman & Son
for best decorated vehicle and w.
S. Savage for best decorated auto
mobile.
After the parade came the two
ball games, leans" VS. fats" and
the Browning Laclede game.
In the evening the visitors were
given a free picture show and the
new opera house was packed to
capacity. From the fact that the
machine was new and new opera
tors were working it there was
naturally some delay and errors
made but in all it was a fine enter
tainment and pleased the crowd.
While the crowd was large and
packed the park and overfowed in
to the streets it was the most or
derly and good natured ever assem-
bled here, not a single disturbance
being reported. Everybody seem
ed to be out for a good time and
had it.

Ocean-to-Ocean Tour

To let the world know that there
is today open to transcontinental
traffic, a well-improved highway
through the wonderful scenic EN-
pire of Colorado and Utah, and to
demonstrate the logical advantages
of this central route through
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colo
RADIO and Utah, two touring events
are now on. Thatover the eastern
division of the Pixies Peak Ocean
to Ocean highway started from
Terre Haute, Indiana, yesterday
and the cars will probably pass
through Laclede Saturday morning,
the white cross state highway
being a part Of the transcontinen-
tai route. Cars are daily passing
through LacIede from the eastern
and western states. Monday two
cars from Texas went east and
Tuesday a car from Nevada went
the same way. and it is no common
thing to thing to see cars from
Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska
and some as far away as California.
Over the western division the cars
will leave st. Joseph August I.

The Primary Election

So far as the republicans were
concerned the primary election
held last Tuesday was Of little
concern there being no contests on
the candidates who had fled. Only
thirty-six republicans went to the
trouble of voting in this precinct.
G. w. Anderson was unanimously
reelected member of the county
committee,
On the democratic side, however,
there were more interest shown
and 103 votes were cast. For
member of county committee j.
Paul Jones defeated Judge O. F.
Libby by a vote of 81 to %. For
congress Rucker and Farmer Jones
tied, each receiving 40 votes. For
state senator John S. Wallace re-
ceived 60 votes and John D. Tay-
lor 20. For presiding judge of the
county court Nickel received So
votes and Ludden A. For judge
of the western districtsEvans, 10;
Lockhart, 62; Allen, 17s For
circuit clerk, Flood, 18; Lamb, II;
Canada, IL. For prosecuting at
torney Alpha Burns had no op-
position but IL democrats scratch
ed him off the ticket. The balance
of the ticket had no opposition and
received the party vote.
The republican county ticket SO
far as nominated is J. D. Mcleod,
county clerk; G. B. McCollum,
recorders ]. FL. Mckinney, prose-
cutting attorney. The balance of
the ticket will be filled in the near
future by the new committee.
The democratic county ticket is
as follows: G. E. Kelly, repre-
sentative; j., A. Nickel, pre-
siding Judge; J. W. Lockhart,
judge Of western district; Ed.
Anderson, judge eastern district;
A. L. Pratt, probate Judge; H. H.
Lamb, circuit clerk; c. A. John
son, county clerk; W. B. Nc
Gregor, recorder; A. L, Burns,
prosecuting attorney.

For the Browning Laclede game
Browning had added to their line
up six Of the best players they
could get from Unionville, Milan
and Linneus, and were SO sure Of
victory that odds of 8 to ! on
Browning were offered and taken
The odds should have been reversed
as Laclede won 1874, making three
out of four from Browning. La
clede got nine hits off Fields, while
Max Jones held Browning to four
hits and famed ten.
Laclede scored once in the third.
Browning got three in the fourth,
and Laclede promptly tied them.
Browning got another in the sixth.
Then came the lucky seventh
with five more runs for Laclede,
and four more in the eighth just to
show how easy it was. Browning
failed to reach first the last two in
nings, five of them tanning.
