Doniphan 2, Darlingtons 0.

That tells the story Of yesterdays
game Of ball played BY the St. Louis
aggregation known as the Darlington's
and the Doniphan boys. Was 1t q
game? IL was some game, believe me.
Did you ever look at two pieces Of ma
chinery running along together, steady,
smooth and silentlyp That Is the way
these young gentlemen played ball.
The two runs made BY Doniphan were
10 the second inning .GeorgeEderer won
a pass down 10 hrst, stole second and
easily reached the home plate on
Lincoln's clear TWO bagger, and Lin
coin went 10 the plate on another clean
two base hit by Alva Williams. That
was all the runs that were made by
sither team, and they were both earn
cd, a. only three errors we're made dur
ing the game, one by each side, and
they were not vital and spelled nothing
Doniphan made 1--WE hits, three Of them
clean and the Darlington's three. The
boys played carefully. closely and In
.ensely, and The large crowd saw al ex-
hibition, that, while not exciting and
without close pinches. was q perfect
game Of ball. The line up for the
game was as follows:

The Story of a Trade,

In 1884 an Indiana man travelling
along Southeast Missouri road with
a team met Missouri man, The two
struck up a conversation and began
talking about land.
The Missourian offered toirtrade a
tract Of land he owned in Ripley coun-
ty for the Indiana mans team and wag-
on, all the property the Indiana man
possessed. The Missourian didn't know
anything about the land nor whether IL
was 10 or 30 miles away, and pointed
out the direction OF Ripley county,
with . swing Of his hsad. The papers
we're made out and the Indiana man
went home without his outfit, while the
Missourian drove the outfit to his home,
the only thing the Indianan knew about
the deal was that the land was not on
the bottom Of the Mississippi river.
The Indiana man paid taxes on the land
for several years and then neglected TO
do so for time. Then he made gift
Of the land, 80 acres, to the church Of
which he vas rnembsr--the Catholic
church. In the mean time the Indiana
man had prospered financially. In this
Lash deed, while the title was given to
the church, the deed was made to Rev.
A. Kaelin, as the trustee Of the church
Rev. .Kaelin was not at that time able TO
pay much attention 10 the gift but paid
the taxes each year since. The first
survey Of the tract was made by the
late Captain w. A. Naylor, whom all
the older citizens remember. Septem-
Der Goth, 1883. In running the lines
in section . range 3 east, il was found
thas the tract Of land hal been squatted
on and Improved by the late Larry
Powers, who had built a house, set out
an orchard and otherwise settled the
80, and that the full description of the
Missouri man's deed TO the Indiana man
called for the east half OF the south
west quarter Of section 4, township "a
range ! east. Father Kaelin visited the
county in 1888, in 1894 and in 1910, and
vent out TO the place. On bis arrival
here . few days ago, he employed Ton
johnson. county surveyor, TO re-rnn the
fines and II was done, with the result
that the two surveys we're exactly simi-
lar, tallying almost TO the link, though
made quarter century apart, and
many changes having been made. ID

that part Of the county. While Pow
ers lived on the place the cleared land
was farmed, and yielded good crops,
but no rent was paid nor requested by
the owner.
In November 1914, man who, 1t is
said claimed to be the agent for the
owner Of the land. Rev. A. Kaelin. gave
for consideration, contract to Luth-
sr A. Snowden to cut the merchantable
timber from the land, and under this
contract Mr.. Snowden proceeded to cut
and haul off lot OF the tie timber
On learning of this Rev. Kaelin had a
warrant issued for the apprehension Of
Mr.. Snowden, and he waived examina-
tion in Justice Nichols court and was
bound over under bond, which he gave
The case is on the docket for hearing at
this term OF court, although II has been
docketed for the last three terms OF
court, but the parties have not hereto
fore been ready for trial. Rev. Kae-
lin has all the deeds and and abstract
Of the tract, and all the tax receipts,
and there is no question Of the title or
Of the gift Of the land to the church,
and as Father Kaelin says she has CIV
en- much attention TO the gift made to
his church many years ago by q loving
friend Of his, whose widow is counted
as one of the best christian ladies In
Shelbyville, Indiana.
A compromise Of the case has been
effected and the matter amicably ad-
justed, as Rev. Kselin had no desire 70
cause any one trouble or expense.
The land above mentioned isa part oi
the old Hibbard farm, that was settled
and cleared before the war.

A large number OF the manu-
featuring concerns and the great
financial interests Of the north
and east, have within the last
few months, or since early spring,
bad representatives Of their busi-
ness in Europe looking over
the situation. In every instance,
these men have urged their con-
Germs TO use their influence to
keep this country out Of entang'
ling propositions that might lead
10 war. They depict the terrible
condition OF affairs in all the Eu.
Fopean countries, especially those
engaged directly In the struggl le,
as heartrsndering, not only to
the people, but to the business

many say, in their reports that
the struggle will continue until
Germany is exhausted, as Eng
land is in position to dominate

will triumph. Most Of these re-
representatives., and many OF them
have been at the firing line, and
know whereof they speak, say
that the struggle will last for Q

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of COM
partnership, civilization has lowered
to it's greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
mar by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party,
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
mai should remember that it is q
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard ant an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
auman race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and I'M
ashamed.

beauty too.-Theodore Parker.

The book, unlike the living teacher,

FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS

Declare That Alamance Man Has
Never Been Guilty of Improper
Conduct in Office.

wv 0SNA AAS VI ~
Conduct in Office.
Asheville, June 2O.-R. w. Scott, Of
Alamance, appointed by Governor
Locke Craig to succeed himself as a
member Of the Board Of Agriculture,
Las the confidence of his associates
on the board, according to resolutions
adopted By fellow members of the
board which were made public r.
Saturday by Governor Craig. The
resolutions were adopted by the board
following the filing of charges against
Mr.. Scott in which it was charged that
he had been guilty of improper con
duct in office.
In their resolutions to the Governor
the other members of the board de-
clare that the attacks on Mr.. Scott
are unfair and unjust and that they
'7uld not be held against the man
who has served so we'll. Mr.. SCOTS
associates declare that while they hav>
differed at times with him, they have
found that he is upright and honest
and has performed his duties as a
member of the board in a most salts
factory manner.
The resolutions set forth that Mr..
Scott has never been guilty of i'm
proper conduct in office; on the other
hand, it is stated that he has been a
faithful and efficient officer and has
done the State excellent service. To
refuse to appoint him to membership
on the board to succeed himself be-
cause of the charges which have been
made against him, the resolutions de-
clare, would be doing a good mar If
reparable injury.

Cleanup day Il. spring has become
a custom in mar MUNICIPALITIES. We
commend the idea and urge it's contin-
uance in those communities where it
has been practiced and further urge it's
adoption in others where it has not
been instituted.
It. must be evident to every fair

| inestimable value to every municipal
| ity, not only from the point of fire pro-
lection and improving the appearance
of the city or town, but from that o.
the general health of the public as we'll.
Our special interest is, of course, along
the lines of fire protection. We urge
the municipal officers, boards of trade,
village Improvement associations, pub
lie organizations, as well as all public
spirited citizens, to unite to make c
special effort for such a day. The per-
sonal inspection of your w premises,
| removal of rubbish and examination
for fire, hazards may be a very fitting
observance of such a day.-Maine Bul
