Chambers Wins A Shut out Game.

The leaders of the s. E. Ark. League got a drubbing, on the Monticello diamond, last Friday, that will dampen their ardor for sometime. Chambers the Mon- ticello hurler allowed the visitors only three hits and a scratch, and shut them out 3 to Q. The locals got only five hits off Cana way, who pitched fine ball for Warren. Both pitchers were at their best, and both of them were we'll backed up. It was good game from beginning to end, and while the visitors sue ceeded, two or three times, in reaching third base, they were never able to connect with the home-plate.
 Rube Cellars, Warren's grand pitcher, who was playing the field on this occaison, lost his temper because Chambers seem- ed to take a special delight in pitching him balls he could not hit, and when the Umpire called out "strike," Mir. Cellars made such a strong kick that the Ump, invited him to seat on the Bench, which he very reluctant ly accepted.

6 to i No one, except the visit ing team, expected 1t to win i; but our boys, thinking the prac- tice would do them good, accept ed the challenge, and the game was full of fun throughout. It was an easy enough job for the Leaguers to bunt to first and then steal second. and even third bases, but when it came to steal ing home it was quite another thing. Three or four of the To- calls were put out by the catcher, at the home-plate, in attempt ing this stunt much to the a. musement of the spectators.
 Among the visitors were some good ball-players, but as a team it was slow, which made it easy for the locals to win the game. While the visiting pitcher hurled lively bali, several three-b bag gers were taken from him. How ever, he succeeded in flaming out some of our best batters. It was one of the most pleasant games played here this season, and there was no wrangling from any source. Zack Miles, who re gently was Captain of the Monti- cello League team, and who re signed few weeks ago, umpired the game. His decisions were just and fair to both sides, andl proved him the man for the place.

The severance of friendly rela- tions with Germany, Col. T. R. Roosevelt thinks too wild a course for this Government to pursue, for the many insults of fered. However, the severance of domestic relations have ire quently brought about a better understanding between the par ties, and all went well thereafter. Perhaps the same might result from severving diplomatic rela- tions with the great German bully. If not, then there would be ample time for our Govern. ment to resort to more drastic measures. Let us have peace, ii it can be maintained upon hon. orable terms, if not, "up and at em."

THE DEATH OF LEO. NJ. FRANK.

THE DEATH OF LEO. M. FRANK.
 The taking from the Georgia convict farm, last week, and hanging of Leo. NJ. Frank, IS another infamous and unwar- ranted outrage which stands charged to Georgia's civilization. It was a compound, to all ex- ternal appearance, duplicity, mendacity and imbecility. The question of whether Frank was guilty or innocent of the death of Mary Phagan does not enter into the argument. He was a prisoner in the custody of the state. A sovereign whose duty it was to protect and shield from the merciless grasp of the mob. An attempt had few weeks prior been made to mur der him by a fellow-convict, un. der the eyes and nose of the prison authorities, while he was asleep upo his prison couch, hand this was winked at by the Georgia management of the con- vict farm and the officials con- for this gross abuse of watchfulness over the lives of those in their charge, claimed that the attempted murder was the act of homicidal maniac.
 But notwithstanding this. and that a mob had previously attempted to secure his person, Frank was left in an exposed condition and, according to re- ports, only two guards were in charge at the time his murderers made their call.
 Whether the prison authori- ties were in the conspiracy to this prisoner may never be known; but that their con- duct was iniquious, under the cannot be truth fully disputed.
 The murder of Leo NJ. Frank IS a dark and dirty stain upon the escutcheon of a great and sovereign state. It IS beyond the lawlessness of the irrespon- sible and infuriated mob. It is virtually the giving away of it's lawful authority by the state, and the turning over of its pris- oners to the mob for summary vengeance.
 When a state by it's own cir cumstantial confession, as in this case, is either unable or un- willing to protect it's prisoners, and especially those behind it's prison walls and strong prison locks, 1t is a sad commentary upon the civilization and hu. manity of its governing power
 The death of Leo Frank as an individual does not amount to more to the country, at large than the death of hundreds O. others who have been sent to their reward at the hands of the mob; but the precedent estab. lished by the state of Georgia, is one fearful to contemplate. I

 The Chicago Tribune, one of the most villinous of the North ern papers, takes up more than a column of it's space to slander the people of the South, by using the incident of the Leo NJ. Frank murder, by the Georgia mob as a pretext. As sample of the vile effluvium of this nauseating vulture, we copy the following i:
 "The south is backward. It shames the United States by illiteracy and incompetence. It's hill men and poor whites, its masses of feared and bullied blacks, it's ignorant and violent publications, it's rotten indus trial conditions, and its rotten social ideas eXsist in circum- stances which disgrace the Unit ed States in the thought of A. mericans and in the opinion of foreigners.
 When the north exhibits a demonstration of violence a. gainst law by gutter rats of so- ciety, there is shame in the To- cality which was the scene of the exhibition. When the south ex- hibits it there is difference of opinion.
 The south is barely half educat- ed. Whatever there is ex- plicable in the murder of Leo M Frank is thus explainable. Lee M. Frand was an atom in the A merican structure. He might have died, unknown or ignored, a thousand deaths more agoniz- ing in preliminary torture and more cruel in final execution and have had no effect, but the spectacle of struggling human being, helpless before fate as a mouse in the care of a cat, will stagger American complacency.
 The south is half educated. It is region of illiteracv, blatant self-righteousness, cruelty, and violence. Until it is improved by the invasion of better blood and better ideas it will remain a reproach and danger to the American republic.-Chicago Tribune. ;"

Why Indians Are Red.

A German doctor has evolved
queer theory about the coloring OF the
human race-that the tint OF the skin
is determined by the food eaten.
Originally. he declares. the human
species was black. because our print.
tive forefathers subsisted on fruits and
roots containing manganese. The
American redskins owe their color to
the consumption OF raw flesh. The
Mongols are yellow because OF their
descent from a tribe which consumed
great quantities OF herbs rich In
chloride. and the Caucasians have to
thank the salt. for which they have SO
great liking. for their dainty pink and
white or delicate brunette complex.
