To the Editor Benton News
Gazette:
We will place $50 90 of lawful
money in any reputable bank in
Polk county and if you will pro-
duce one jot of evidence to show
that Hon. Gordon G. Hyatt owns
a single dollar in this paper or
has anything to say in it's man
aeement we will donate said 500
to any charitable institution you
may select. If you fail to do
this, you must stand branded as
a contemplate liar and not
worthy of the confidence OF
decent people of any community.
-Ducktown Republican
To the Editor of the
Oucktown Repub bic IN:
Read the following from the
Knoxville journal aud Tribune
Of recent date
"Gordon Hyatt, q promin.
ent attorney Of Duck'own
was in Knoxville yesterday
on business. Mr.. Hyatt is
the publisher of a new re-
publican weekly that will
make its appearance this
week 1t will be known as
the Ducktown Republican
and will be the onlt republi-
can paper in Polk county,
although the county is re.
publican and has two demo
cratic papers.
If the allegation that Gordon
is the manager and owner of the
paper is false and indecent, why
did you fail TO challenge the
journal and Tribune? If we
did not tell the truth, it was
caused by the Journal and Tr'-
bune, paper OF your own per
suasiou-pisen republican. You
should bear the alleged disgrace
with the fortitude of Fremont
and the charity of Lincoln, to
prove that you are worthy of
the name that you, or Gordon,
has misappropriated.
The jot of evidence is produc-
ed, but nc charitable institution
would have the $50. They would
know that Gordon would have
to pay it out of his tainted riches
because if you had money you
would never have been Duck
town publisher. That is the
history of Ducktown publishers,
and that sort of history always
repeats itself
II you are Gordon's funSey,
we care not for your insults; but
il you are the owner of a paper
and have not been using Cor
dons dope, we deserve to be
called liar along with that re-
liably republican paper, the
Journal and Tribune.
Hereafter we shall only men

Imported you-free OF import
duty--a slave to the onerous
and arduons task assigned you

and shall not wrinkle your
feathers, because the plumagr
OF q peacock becomes you so
much.

Fourier has stuck with the Sox
now for two years. In that time he
has been tried as an outfelder and
first baseman. He also has caught a
game or two.
Jacks gardening was not beautiful
to the eye. He was good catch OF
fly balls, but did not judge the rock
eters quickly, and failed to gauge the
distance from the outpOsts to the
plate when throwing.
At first base Jack also looked bad
from a fielding standpoint when, he
was first put to work there. But he
has improved wonderfully. He has
made long strides forward. Not that
he is a Chase, defensively, or the
equal of the majority of the A. L. first
baseman. But he is promising.
Any man who can come as far
forward as Jack has in the past two
years must have some latent me-
chanicaI ability to build on. 1t shows
he is willing to work and learn. Four
nier's ultimate success depends on
how far he can go forward from the
point he has already attained.
Jack has made good in one thing.
He is the leading hitter of the South
Side crew, and is steadily maintain
ing the smart batting clip he began
on when he took over Chase's work.
When Chase jumped Jack was bat
ting under 200, the slim average
having been attained while piddhng
around at odd jobs of pinch hitting
and first basing.
Chase's detection gave Fourier his
chance. He Immediately started on
batting rampage that lifted him above
the 800 mark in three weeks, and
the confident way in which he steps
up to the ball indicates he will shatter
all precedent and continue to get his
hits, despite the White Sox uniform.
When Jack was stopping around as
a hitter some of his admirers claimed
he would bat if used regularly. TheV

become a good fielding first baseman.
Jack knocked a triple and three sin
giles in six times at bat in yesterdays
double bill.
1t looked like an old city series on
the South Side yesterday. The Yanks,
bossed by Chance and pitched for by
Cole, were against the SoX, with Ed
Walsh in the box. Cole was a little
better than Ed, as the Yanks punched
two Of their five hits in one inning
for the lone tally. Cole held the Sox
to three futile wallOps.
Walsh looked better than at any
time since his comeback started. In
addition to being tight with his hits,
he handed out but two passes.
Faber and Cicotte outpitched four
Yank pitchers in the second. Peckin-
paugh of the Yanks maced a homer.
The start of the Cubs in the east
was suspicious. They licked the
Braves, hard team for them, and did
it without using Bresnahan. Roger
was enabled to take two more days
of rest and is expected to be almost
as whole as ever when he goes in
this afternoon. His flock of wounds
healed nicely.
Without Bresnahan or Archer the
Cubs do not resemble a good ball
team. HargraVes is a hard working
youngster, but woefuIIy inexperi-
enced. O'Day showed good judgment
in giving Bresnahan this rest to fit
him for the Giant series, as Har-
graves could not cope with the willy
baserunners of McGraw.
Safer and his homers are doing
good work for Cubs. Outside of these
four-ply swats, Vic has not been do
ing much with the stick. He is down
around $50, while his natural gait
is at least .2S0. 1t is almost certain
that he will improve, and then the
Cubs will be even stronger than now.

What They Did to Webster.

In the course OF a speech on Amer
lean heroes and institutions, Chaun-
cey Depew stated that even the great
est Americans were almost entirely
unknown abroad.
While in distinguished gathering
in England. he remarked. he com
mented on the fact that in Washing.
ton he lived in the very house where
Daniel Webster had resided for six
years while serving as secretary OF
state and later as a member OF the
senate.
A member of the English nobility
replied:
"Ah. indeed. most interesting! Your
Webster was a most extraordinary
man. In England we have nothing to
compare with your Webster. who, as
l learn. was your greatest statesman
and orator wrote dictionary and
was hanged for killing a client"

Synthetic Diamonds.

There recently appeared in Paris
some diamonds having all the ear
marks Of the genuine article. and they
were offered TO a number OF dealers
at very attractive prices. Certain
rigid tests were applied by experts en-
gagged in the trade, with the result
that they were proven to be slightly
different from natural stones. The
diamonds are believed to be manu-
factured by a synthetic process. but by
experts who examined them they
were claimed to be genuine. From
this It seems the secret OF making dia-
monds is really being solved. and II
will not be long until this new product
OF the electric furnace will take It's
place with synthetic rubies. sapphires
and other manufactured gems which
are now sold In the open market.-Ex-

The real reason the wedding ring is
worn on the left hand is that this is
less actively employed than the right
and therefore a ring on that hand is
less exposed to injury. In the an
cient sarum ritual of England the ring
was placed upon the brides right
