visitor to the city that day. He stop
ped at Nack's market on Main and

WATERFOWL MANAGES TO GET
TWO SCORES IN SEVENTH
INNING.
Mike Springs Surprise by Having For
mer GOsling Pitch - Ginks and
Madison Go Down To Defeat
TEAM STANDINGS.

1t was with the sincere intention
of winning Sundays game that the
Goslings bravely marched out on the
field to face the Bakers. If they won
there was chance that they might
be able to be the tailenders of the
first division. Some cog in the base
ball machine slipped and the Bakers
defeated them s to 2. Mike had a
surprise in store for the Goslings in
the shape of Bert Anweiler, who pitch
ed for him.
The Deisingers started the game
with the signal Full speed ahead"
and so fast were they that they cor
raled two runs in the first and another
in the third. After that there was
nothing doing until the seventh when
they went out with vim for their
other runs.
The Goslings scored two in the first
half of the seventh through an error
and an extra base clout by Nowack
and Bahr. After that it was just like
falling off a log for Mikes men to
secure their extra five runs.

HALT LEGISLATION
TO SAVE OFFICES
DEMOCRATS FEARING REPUBLI-
CAN VICTORY DESERT DUTIES
TO TALK POLITICS..
Many Democratic Members of Con-
gress Absent When Big Bills Are
Considered Affairs at a Crisis.

Washington, D. c. Responsibility
for the lack of quorum in the house
always menace to good legislation
has been put up to the Democratic
majority by the Republican minority
Much important legislation is pend
ing and in conference, upon which ac-
ton is still to be taken by the house
To ask for roll call is to disclose
the fact that there is no quorum and
bring business to a standStill There
fore important measures have to be
acted upon without a yea and nay vote
without members going on record as
to how they vote, and without a ma
Jorlty OF the members present to vote.
The situation is incredible under the
critical conditions now prevailing
In order that there may be no ques-
ton as to responsibility for the-pre-
sent deplorable conditions, the Repub-
iicans have served definite notice by
placing in the record the statement
that the power to control legislation
and adjournment rests with the Dem
ocratic majority in congress" This,
of course, includes maintaining a quo
rum. The senate feels the situation
so critical that the attendance of all
absentees has been requested by re-
solution.
Democrats Fear Republican Gain.
The Republican minority has not
used obstructive methods in either
branch of congress. The general be-
lief that the next house will be Repub-
lican, has sent Democratic congress-
men hurrying home to look after their
campaigns, regardless of the neces-
slty Of their presence here to either

control of legislation in the house.
Fifty-six Democratic members were
absent
Democrats Responsible.
responsibility for the present lam
entable and dangerous state of affairs
rests entirely with the Democratic
majority. Delay in adjournment, ill
considered legislation, an unhealthy
spirit of laxness, possibility that all
legislation may be blocked at any mo-
ment and could be blocked-all are
inevitable results of a stampede never
before equaled in the history of con-
gress at a critical period in national
affairs. This adds greatly to the gen.
eral uneasiness felt here in legislative
and governmental circles.

One of the most pleasing features OF
the fair was the absence of confidence
men and pickpockets. Evidently the
people who follow fairs in order to be
able to live by picking pockets haG
heard of the aid offered by the local
