TIES ONTARIO
FOR FIRST PLACE
IN THE LEAGUE

Caldwell defeated Boise here last
Sunday by the score of 9 to |, in
game featured by the loose playing of
the visitors and the hitting and base
running OF the locals. Big Bill Russ
was on the mound for Boise and was
extremely wild, hitting three men and
walking TOUR. Each of these free pas
SagcS, coupled with seven lusty clouts,
which came at opportune times, gave
the locals the long end of the score
column. Alexander, on the other hand
did not have to put much on the ball,
for the Boise club could not hit "em''
for damage, even when "Chink" lob
bed the ball over.
Boise drew first blood in the first
inning, on hit, walk and an error.
A double play in this stanza, with a
man on second and first with no outs
prevented further damage. Caldwell
came back in her half of the first and
scored four runs, on three singles, a
walk and lusty clout in the ribs.
Boise hung UP her cue right here and
did not Condescend to mar her per-
feet score of goose eggs that con-
tinued on throughout the game. Not
SO with the locals. They took adj
and piled up five more runs for the
grand total of nine. Kelley umpired
the game and had it been close, there
would have been no end of Raging, as
he showed little knowledge of the
game.
Monday, July 5th.
Caldwell took the second game from
Boise on their own lot by the score
IF to and there are three features
which deserve prominent mention in
this column. Cornelrs circus catch of
Bersing's drive in the seventh, the
umpiring of Kelley, which resembled
the antics of blind man at a motion
picture show, and the vast assemblage
which witnessed the game. From time
to time this great mass of humanity
shook the stands, as some spectacular
play was pulled off, or some unique
decision was pulled off by umpire Kel-
ley Including Mr.. Lewis and the
three gate keepers, there was fully
thirty-nine spectators present, six of
which had comps. Caldwell's share of
the gate receipts, was II dollars and
seventy-fve cents, very nearly enough
to pay for a fighting jacket for a
MOSQUITO. Boise being the capitol of
the state and having a population of
nearly thirty thousand, we say that
this was SOME crowd.
Boise again took the lead in the
first of the third inning and were not
passed until the sixth, when Caldwell
pried four men around the bases on
clean hitting, and two walks. Boise
came right back and after two were
out in their half of the sixth, they put
three more runs across on a walk,
two singles and a two-base wallop
Caldwell finished here scoring in the
first half of the seventh, when two
more runs were showed across.
This win ties Caldwell for first place
with Ontario, who broke even with
Nampa in their celebration games, and
the honor of leading the league will
be fought out here next Sunday and
Monday, when the strong Ontario
team meets the locals here in a two
games series. Ontario is bringing up
a mob of rooters that will in no way
resemble the Boise crew and two of
the fastest games of the season are an
ticipated. A record crowd, will also
be in attendance from Caldwell and
vicinity

MAY SECURE POTASH AGAIN
Negotiations by United States with
Germany Appear to Be Successful,
Says Berlin Report.

Berlin. April 2G.-The negotiations
with the United States for the removal
Of the German prohibition of the ex.
portation of potash salts, which have
been in progress for some time, have
reached the stage where a successful
issue seems probable.
Germany some time ago felt forced
to interrupt shipments of potash for
fertilizer purposes to the United States
until satisfactory guarantees were ar
ranged that German potash exported
would not be used in the manufacture
of ammunition for sale to the allies.
Potash salts form the essential part
of both black powder and the bursting
charge in shrapnel and also the fulmi-
mating cap in rifle cartridges.
The German proposal, which seems
to be capable of acceptance by the
United States, is that potash exported
In exchange for cotton cargoes be con.
signed to the department of agricul.
ture at Washington. under guarantee
that it will be used solely in the
United States for the purpose of fer.
tilizers, and that it's distribution be
supervised by inspectors who would
see that none of it falls into the hands
Of powder manufacturers.

FIRST DECISION OF THE KIND

er Of John Barleycorn, went down fol
the count at Carrollton in spite of any
thing his friends, the Kansas City
breweries, could do in his behalf. The
blow is said to be decisive one.
There has never been a question Of

local option territory, but Carroll coun

Hence 1t was the claim of the brew
eries-just as it is in all wet territory
that it could be sold without Ii

based on the fact that federal license

ing less than per cent alcohol.
Operating under the supposed pro-
lection of the breweries and their high
priced lawyers, Wakenda, little town
of that county, became a nest" of
two per cent" saloons. The town
had run it's saloons out by the petition
route, but the near beer joints took
their place in fancied security.
Some time ago young man was ar

urged that he did not know what he

and he sent for the court stenographer

had the testimony taken down in de.
tail by the stenographer.

man was drunk he said.
Frank E. Atwood, the prosecuting at
torney, asked for special grand jury
at once. Judge Divelbiss granted it
and as a result six men of Wakenda
were indicted, some of them on as
high as twenty-five counts. Two OF
them were charged with running

The breweries offered to send law
yer to help fight and drag the cases
out. The local attorneys replied that
dragging" cases out before Judge
Divelbiss was not popular pastime.
Judge Divelbiss is the man who forced
the railroads of the state to quit SELL
ing liquor in dining cars. So the attor-
neys pleaded guilty for the men. All
were fined from 5000 to $3.50, and sen.

counts Their places are closed up.

WHY Is BUTLER FIRM?
Because its Citizens Have Learned the
~ Truth.


After reading this generous and
encouraging report from Mr.. Morgan
those who have misfortune to suffer
as he did, will naturally long to get
the same good as Mr.. Morgan had,
you should get the same remedy.
There are of course, other kidney
pills but there are no other kidney
pills the same as Doans. That is why
Butler people demand the genuine.
Asa Morgan, Butler, says: "Doans
Kidney Pills are a good remedy for
pain and weakness in the back and
trouble with the kidney secretions.
This remedy has been used in my
family, being procured at Clay,s
Drug store, and as l know what it
can do, l do not hesitate to indorse
it,"
Mr.. Morgon is only one of many
Butler people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If
your back aches--if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy-ask distinctly for
Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that
Mr.. Morgan had-the remedy backed
by home testimony. Soc all stores.

 WAY TO WESTWARD,

The tug Columbia, having in tow the big barge Sperm on which is the sternwheller motor boat Jane and the barges Knik and Susitna belonging to the Susitna Transportation company, the motorboat Islander, belonging to a party of fishermen from Puget Sound, arrived here yesterday on their way to Ship creek. Capt. T. L. liar riman of the Columbia was compelled to call here to replenish his supply of coal, obtaining a few tons from the Alaska Transfer company. This fleet sailed from Port Angeles April 13. Because of bad weather they were compelled to stop two days at Dundas and four at Yakutat. Capt Hartman said that heavy sea near Cape Spencer carried away the stern bulwark of the tug and another stove in the bow of the Sperm. This latter accident compelled the stop at Yaku- tat. whose temporary repairs were made.

SEWARD TEAM BEATS
 THE FORMER YICT0RS
Home Bunch Wins By a Score of
 Thirteen to Eight.

It was wierd exhibition of the national passtime that was staged at the Bay View Park yesterday when Hoben's Pets put crimp in the championship aspirations of Admiral Ennis's Fish Grabbers. The game as rep,ete with sensational plays, stolen bases and extra canvas clOuts.
 Take it by and large it was good game. There was plenty of thrills for the novice and every once and awhile there was something pulled off that gave the real 3rd degree fan the idea that if one team could be picked in Seward and played together, any team in Alaska coming into Resur- rection Bay looking for some easy money would be doomed to a run of hard luck.
 Seward has this year, more good base ball material than ever before in the history of the camp, and is in a position to give any contending az gregation the time of their lives in a match game. It is to be hoped that the fans will have an opportunity of seeing the local aggregation in action against Valdez, Cordova and Fort Liscum, about the Fourth of July. The above named teams have been in- vited to come over and will doubtless accept.

Miss Leona Bradshaw, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. T. J. Bradshaw, passed away this morning at 5 o'clock, hay ing succumbed to tubercular portion its from which she had suffered for some time and which necessitated an operation that was performed in Seat tie by prominent physicians, but with out effect. The sympathy of all the people of Seward for her bereaved father and mother and the other members of her family was generally expressed around the streets this morning when the sad intelligence be- came known. The young lady was only eighteen years of age. To all those who had the pleasure of her acquaintance she was known as a talented young lady of the most pleas ing disposition. During the winter months, it may be said as proof of her splendid characteristics, she vol unteered to teach the children of the public schools in bookkeeping, and the lady principal of the schools with all the rest feels that in her death Se- ward has suffered the loss of most graceful presence.

GERMANS MARCH
 ON THE BALTIC
BERLIN REPORTS ADVANCE CONTINUES AND THREAT
 EMS RUSSIANS.

BERLIN, May 3.-The German ad- vance into the Russian Baltic pro- vinces continues without check and the German military authorities are now convinced that we have at last chosen the right road as our ad- vance in that direction brings us near CT to Petrograd and to the center of the Russian empire, so enabling our armies to threaten the main communi- cations of the Russian forces that are operating around Warsaw and even further south. It is regarded as cer- tain that to stop this new invasion the enemy will be forced to draw huge forces from Galicia and Poland and will so weaken their lines in those parts that we shall be able to reach the goals for which we have striven during the winter. 1t is even deemed possible that with the aid of our fleet in the Baltic We may threaten Petro- grad itself from sea and land. Furth- CT information today is to the effect that the Allies have failed completely in their attacks on the Ypres road and we continue to hold the positions captured by us in the battle of last week. We have also captured several lines of trenches in the Argonne dis trict.
