STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
BASEBALL BRIEFS

| Benny Kauff, termed the shrinking
violet" in Boston, has rather weakly de-
MED the rumor which started somewhere,
but came out of New York, to the effect
that he greatly desired to be traded to
some other club, preferably to the Cubs.
The story which goes the rounds is that
the Little Napoleon and Benny don't
seem to get along any too well. Kauff
thought that he knew number of things
about baseball that McGraw never heard
of, and the consequences were that the
Giants leader let him get away with
things in the early spring tina. he is
picking him up on now, because McGraw
thought that he might develop into
great star if let alone; but on seeing
that he did not improve much, McGraw
commenced to dictate to him. told him
to obey the base-runners signals and not
to hit at bad balls.
While Boston fans cannot call the Red
Sox pennant winners by any means,
Wednesdays double killing of the White
Sox and Cleveland's defeat at the hands
Of New York, gives the 1915 champions
better lead than they have had at any
time this season.

Yesterday the club announced the pur
chase of Pitcher Reeding and Infelder
Anderson from the Charlotte team Of the
South Atlantic league.
Johnny Evers has rejoined the Braves
after all, and all the fans hope that this
implies a very great improvement in his
physical condition.
Many Of the Yankee fans may be sur
nrised to hear that the club has recalled
Ed Sweeney, but Sweeney has been burn
ing up the American association and the
New York Americans manager thought /
lie would give him another trial.

Going from Portland to San

Stops
TO BE NO FOR
NAL SPEECHES
Gets Solid Comfort Prepar.
ing to Resume the
Campaign

Roseburg Ore, Aug. ls.-Charles f
Hughes yesterday took the biggest
Jump" in his transcontinental trip. He
was on the way from Portland to San
Francisco with only one stop of more
than a few minutes, scheduled at Shasta
Springs last night.
Three or four points were scheduled
to hear the candidate for bare three or
four minutes, but no formal speeches had
been arranged, not even at Shasta
Springs.
A day OF almost solid comfort was in
prospect for Hughes Solid comfort, be
it known, in Mr. Hughes opinion, con
sists in a place to stretch out and time
in which to rest his mind by reading
hair raising detective stories-dime nov
els, to be exact,
Carl d. Sheppard, Hughes personal
representa- tive, went out in Portland on
Wednesday night and raided the news
stands for sufficiently thrilling literature,
accumulating one of the largest Libraries
of lurid detective narratives ever assem-
bled.
Stuck away In this pile of paperbound
volumes was a copy of THE Rise and
Fall of the Roman Empire" from the
Hughes library.
In his speech at the ice rink in Port
land Wednesday night, the candidate de-
livered another broadside at the Demo
cratic policies, concentrating his fire par
ticularly on the Philippine situation. He |
asserted the United States undertook to |
govern the islands properly, and that
I'VE assumed obligations there which we
are bound TO discharge"
I'VE ought not to consider the sugges
ton of scuttlng out OF the Philippines"
he said, ito leave them in predcament
which you know perfectly well without
my describing IT,"
Hughes again made a announcement
on the tariff and attacked the admins
tration's attitude, asserting the Demo
cratic party has opposed real progress.
He said
IF were a member Of that party and
looked through the platforms of the past
should feel that | was going through

ments"

THEY REFUSE
Connecticut River Directors Won't Ac-
cept Further Dividend Cut.

Springfield, Mass, Aug. lS.-The Con
necticut River railroad directors at Their
meeting yesterday took no action.
The meeting was called at the request
of Director Richard Billings Of Wood
stock, VT, who advocated that the stock
holders accept a greater dividend reduc-
ton than the per cent cut which the
special committee favors.
Mr. Billings contended that the atti-
tude OF the Connecticut River and Con-
cord & Montreal roads blocks the reor-
ganization of the Boston & Maine, which
operates these roads under leases. The
present Connecticut River dividend rate
is 10 per cent.

WORK THAT TELLS.

To thoroughly know the virtues Of
work. Doan's Kidney Pills stand
this test, and plenty of proof exists
right here in this locality. People
who testified years ago to relief from
backache, kidney and urinary dis
orders, now give confirmed testimony
declare the results have lasted.
Can any Bemidji sufferer longer
doubt the evidence?
Mrs. o. w. Erwin, Turtle River,
Mimi, says: "Some three years ago
my kidneys began to do their work
poorly. I was so bad off, that I
thought I would die. My back was
very weak and I couldn't bend over
without being in agony. The kid
ney secretions were scanty and con-
tanned sediment. My breath came
in gas'ps and I often felt as though
l was smOthering. My whole body
bloated and I often lay awake half
the night, gasping for breath. was
so discouraged that I thought death
would be relief. Nothing helped
me and my life was one constant
round of suffering. I finally began
using Doan's Kidney Pills and I am
we'll and happy today. It is Doan's
Kidney Pills that made the cure.''
OVER SIX YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Erwin said: 1.-THE cure Doan's Kid
ney Pills made has been a permanent
one, and 1 recommend them when
ever I have favorable opportunity"

Area Of tho Moon.

The moon always presents the same
face to us, as is evident from the per-
manency of the various markings on
her surface. This proves that with re-
spect to the earth she revolves on an
axis, and the time Of rotation is exact
~ equal to the time Of revolution
around the earth-viz, a little over
twenty-seven days. The moons sur
face contains about 14,685,O00 square
miles, or nearly four times the area Of
