ment the delighted thousands forgot
all about six cents cotton as they
viewed the hundred acts presented in
the varied program of the 101 Ranch
show. This superior attraction had
been here before in recent years, and
its meritorious character was an at
test of reliability this time. 1t is a
great attraction, and not disappoint-
ed parsonage was there in the vast au-
dience.
The festivities of the day began with
the mile length street pageant, which
presented many novelties and elected
admiration as it passed through the
business district.
The Indians, cowboys and cowgirls,
handsomely mounted, appealed strong
ly to the multitude of curbstone spec
tators The 101 Ranch has the finest
horses ever seen with show here and
these prancing steeds were generally
admired. Four bands Of music smash
ed the otherwise quiet ozone and d.
verted attention momentarily from the
Cossacks, Mexicans, buffaloes, In
dams and even from the girlies on
horseback.
A great multitude filled the tented
arena at the afternoon performance,
and as many more will attend the show

KIDDIES GO TO SCHOOL
WITH CIRCUS IN TOWN
SOrrOwful Occasion For Hundreds of
Little Folks

This has been a doleful day of dark
and dank gloom for seven hundred
Americas Riddles who, instead of go
ing to the circus, went drearily to
school and even saw the "perade" from
latticed bars of the big building. To
miss the circus was a crime against
unprotected and helpless juvenile hu-
mainly, the 700 Riddles thought, and
to go to school on Saturday was an
added outrage more merciless than
the Germans would have inflicted, had
their army marched this way. The
Grammar school has Saturday ses-
sions this terp, and when the first
class in geography arose to recite this
morning the fearful pupils had waited
to their open auricular appendages the
glad shout of the street urchin outside
and the WELD shrek of the fierce ga
zook in the gilded cage. 1t was a
sad, sad day for Juvenile Americas.

NOTES FROM THE
LADIES' AUXILIARY

This week is the season set apart for
special prayer for the work and work
ers of the missionary society of our
church. Let every auxiliary make an
effort to profit by this season of spec
ial study and spiritual awakening. The
collection is to be devoted to the en-
largement and better equipment of the
Vashti Industrial School at Thomas
Vile, Ga. Let every member of the
organization be represented in this col.
lection.

Surely these troublesome times in
the countries of Europe and in our
next door neighbor, Mexico, call us to
prayer for those who are torn with
war and bound with it's chain of sorrow.
At the same time fe must be moved to
thanksgiving that our lives have fallen
in pleasant places. Could we not ex-
press this thanksgiving in terms of
money for the support of our mission
airy work? We have but to turn our
eyes to the lands devastated. by war
and bloodshed to realize how great are
the mercies given to the people of Am
erica.

"NOW LAY ME DOWN
TO SLEEP"
j (By w. D. Perry, Smiths Station, Ala
After the battles awful roar
Had died in sullenness away,
BY the camp fires Pickering light,
In my blanket wrapped, lay.
Through the battles murky smoke
Faint the stars began to peep,
And 1 murmured drowsily:
Now l lay me down to Sleep"
Then the thought of other days
Softly DER my memory came,
And the forms of childhood's friends
Rose before me in the fame.
And | felt tender peace
Gently DER my senses creep
While l prayed as when a child:
81 pray thee, Lord my soul to keep
Then my mother seemed to stand
In the camp fires Pickering blaze,
Breathing blessings on her child
AS Sc did in other days.
And she raised her eyes to heaven,
Praying for her boys sake
80, may 1 go to her." 1 prayed,
eff should die before I wake"
Then the gentle dews of sleep
Ger my senses seemed to come.
Distant to my drowsy ear
Seemed the army's muffled hum,
From this sleep which DER me falls
l perhaps shall ne'er awake;
And o, if such should be my lot,
81 pray thee, Lord, my soul to take. .

BASEBALL AT JUNEAU
 WEDNESDAY NIGHT

There will be more baseball on tap for Juneau. Wednesday night of this week the fourteenth game of tho ser les of fifteen originally scheduled to be played between the Douglas Tread, well and Gastineau-Juneau teams will be played on the Juneau grounds. The tentative proposition of making yes terdayS game the last of the series was L,scarded before yesterdays game was Iiayed. Juneau is now one game in the lead and If the home lad; can take the We Iua5dGy evening game tho selies wlll be as firmly cinched 2S jf the season were now closed. If Douglas wins it will mean a toss-up to see which town gets the deciding game of the series.
 At any rate Wednesdays game IS just now a topic of absorbing interest among fans on both sides of the chan nel. Juneau is taking unusual interest in the home team now, particularly since the wonderful performance Of Billy Frye at Treadwell yesterday and there will surely be top-notch crowd in attendance.
 B. l.. Thane who witnessed yester- days game said it was the most wracking experience he ever had. The situation was tense from the moment the first ball passed over the plate un. til the winning and only run was made in the first half of the ninth inning and the last man out
 Both teams will go to Skagway Sat urday and play an exhibition game at that place on Sunday, returning home Sunday night.

JUNEAU WINS GAME
 IN NINTH INNING

TREADWELL. July 27.-With both teams playing pig league ball, Tread. we'll lost yesterdays game by a l to o score.
 Juneau used Frye in the box with very satisfactory results, his record showing seven strikeouts. and only four hits against him.
 Pittman, the finger for the Island CTS, was a close second with three strikeouts and giving Juneau only five hits. He made four assists and Q put out, while Frye had no chances for either.
 There was shut out for the first eight innings on both sides with very few errors being made. and those not costly. Treadwell succeeded in get. ting a man on third base in the third, fourth, fifth and ninth innings, but as this was their thirteenth game this season they were out of luck.
 The only score was made by Juneau in the first half of the ninth Inning when with one man down Hester hit one over the right field fence for two bags. Reid, the next man up drew a pass, and then something happened: Wright hit an easy one to Kertis but made first before the ball got there and the bases were filled. Molloy hit a long one to Dahl in left field and Hester beat the throw-in. Hurlbutt flew out to Kalal and the inning was ended, and so far as the run getting was concerned 80 was the game.
 The game was one of the fastest and best ever seen in the North, with both teams on their toes at all times.
 Manager Ferris announced before the game that contrary to rumors there would be two more games play. ed in this series.
 The score follows:

Ruasla,s Attltude rhe crux.

LONDON, July 27.-The question as to whether or not Russia will take up arms to save it's Slav protege is the crux of the situation in Southeast ern Europe. Upon that one feature apparently hinges the peace of all Europe. There seems every reason to believe that Austria.Hungary has determined to chastlse Servia, and possibly to extend its borders to in- clude that country and Montenegro, if the latter should, as appears likely come to the aid of Servia. If Russia interyenes with armed force, Germany almost certainly and possibly Italy will aid Austria
 The opinion in Seryia that Austria is using the present crisis simply as pretext to absorb that country amounts to settled conviction.

KILLS
 DOUGLAS PIONEER

DOUGLAS, July 27.--Last evening at five o'clock an accident occurred at Ollver's Inlet that cast pail of gloom over the entire Island, when John Ger sekus was killed by the accidental dis charge of rife in his own hands.
 Gersekus left Douglas early yester. day morning in company with Charles Rigling, Joe Riedi and Emil Gabuel on Riedi's boat for days fishing and hunting, and had passed a pleasant day.
 At five o'clock in the evening, as they had but q half hour in which to catch the tide, they were preparing to return home Gabuel was sent to hoist the anchor, and Rigling said to Gersekus, you had better take the guns in." The guns were on the roof of the cabin and Gersekus started to hand the guns through the window. He had passed the first three to Rig ling when the latter heard what he thought to be the discharge of a 22- caliber rife. After waiting 6 moment or two for the last rifle, Rigling went on deck to see what was the matter and failed to see anything of Gerse- kus. He asked Gabuel where Gerse- kus was, but Gabuel, having his back turned, had not seen Gersekus. Just at that moment MT. Rigling saw Ger sekus in the water alongside of the boat and pulled him out only to find that the shot he heard had hit Gerse. kus in the corner of the eye and rang. ing upward had torn off the entire top of the head.
 John Gersekus was an electrician employed at Treadwell and Is surviv- ed by wife and three children. John Rigling, who was with him, was a brother-in-law. He was an Odd Fellow and the funeral will be under the auspices of the local lodge. He has been a resident at Treadwell for many years.

stupendous Possibilities.

PARIS, July 27.-For the moment at least France has something else than internal politics to discuss. The contention is advanced strongly here that Frances treaty agreement with Russia would require her to intervene in behalf of that country in the event of Germany's making war on her. This raises the question of the possibility of a general European war with France, Russia, Seryia, Montenegro and possibly Greece and other Balkan States on one side and Germany, Aus. tria, Italy and possibly Turkey on the other. The possibilities of the situ- ation are so stupendous that the more conservative of the people here are hopeful that efforts that are being put forth to prevent the flaming of the spark of war into flame will be sue cessful.
