BUTTE, Mont, June 8.-More
hits and more runs were made in
yesterdays game between Butte
and Tacoma than in any North
western league battle of the past
two seasons.
Tacoma got 81 runs out of 81
hits. The Miners garnered IL
TALES from IA hits. 1t was one
of the funniest games ever seen in
the league. There were 90 men
in the game, and 20 of them hit
safely. Flagstead of Tacoma, the
latest hitting sensation of the
Tiger club. got five safe clouts
in seven times up, including two
doubles, and Stevens, catcher, hit
seven times in eight times at bat.
The game resembled batting
practice more than baseball
contest Tacoma started off with
five runs In the first inning, and
kept scoring in all but one inning
of the game. Meikle started for
Butte and didn't have a thing on
the ball but the cover. Then
Letter began to pitch, and was
just going good when long
grounder beaned lzzy Clarity on
the beezer, breaking the sniff
hook and putting him out of the
game. Letter had to replace Izzy
In the outer garden, and McGin-
nifty took up the mound work.
Neither Joe, or Ben Hunt, or
Bowen, who followed in rotation,
could stop the Tigers. Before the
game was half over the fans sat
back in their seats and proceeded
to laugh at the hitting demonstra-
ton as though it were a new kind
of vaudeville entertainment.
Tiger batters fattened their av-
erages nicely, so that the game
wasn't entirely a wasted effort.
Clarity, the little infielder VINO
was fired by Great Falls for I'M
seemly conduct last week joined
Butte yesterday and suffered a
broken nose in the first three in
nings.

Base Story of
Joan on History

That Joan the Woman" now
at the Colonial, is historically ac-
curate, there can be little doubt.
All the best known authorities on
French history were consulted be-
fore making the picture, and the
incidents of the story have been
truthfully reproduced.
Particularly is this true of the
trial of Joan, who was prosecuted
by Bishop Cauchon, the evil
churchman who was excommuni-
Gated by the pope after his death
and his body exhumed and thrown
into a sewer.

If Stomach Hurts
Drink Hot Water
A Physicians Advice.

"If dyspeptics, sufferers from
gas, wind or flatulence, stomach
acidity or sourness, gastric ca
tarrh, heartburn, etc., would
take a teaspoonful of pure bisur-
ated magnesia in half glass of
hot water Immediately after eat
ing, they would soon forget they
were ever afflicted with stomach
trouble. and doctors would have
to look elsewhere for patients. :"
In explanation of these words a
we'll known New York physician
stated that most forms of stom-
ach trouble are due to stomach
acidity and fermentation of the
food contents of the stomach
combined with an insufficient
blood supply to the stomach. Hot
water increases the blood supply
and bisurated magnesia instantly
neutralizes the excessive stomach
acid and stops food fermentation,
the combination of the two, there
fore, being marvelously success
full and decidedly preferable to
the use of artificial digestants,
stimulants or medicines for in
digestion.

Members of the Legislature are

declaring that to deprive the

The climax, IL is believed, will
come Thursday night when Presi-

The Morning Post answered
Wilson's assumption that neither
side desires victory by pointing
out sections of the kaiser's recent
proclamations and letters in which
he emphasized Germany's determ-
inatlon for a complete victory.
AS a whole, the liberal press
applauded the lofty principles APP

LOOKS FOR
OBJECTION

on liberals of the world-"the
friends of humanity" not indi-
viduals who hold temporal power
depends whether peace in Eu-
rope is to be based upon equal
ity" and rendered safe from flu
ture aggression.
This was regarded today as
the conviction which prompted
President Wilson to deliver his
epoch making address before the
United States senate yesterday.
The president Is now waiting
to hear how his announcement
is received by the belligerent
nations.
He anticipates objection. But
he feels as was the case with his
first note to the warning pow
ers, that after the message has
time to seep into the minds of
the governments and of the peo-
pies concerned, 1t will appeal
more and more strongly. He be-
leives 1t will add materially to
the momentum of peace discus
sion.

opinion regarding the city's ability
to bond itself further for a power
plant extension.
The city attorney reported that
there was no limit to the indebt-
edness which a public utility plant
of a city might contract, so long
as the work was for additions 10
an existing plant. There is a tech
nical point at issue, however,
caused by an am biguous portion
of the 1909 laws, and the city will
delay action on the bond issue un-
til it learns how the city of Sc
attic, facing a similar point in its
power plant extension, gets along
with its bonds.

If the city council decides that
a steam power plant auxiliary will
be sufficient to augment the MIS-
qually plant in supplying the ever
increasing call for municipal cur
rent, it will go ahead and build
the plsnt without calling a bond
election.
But if a second hydro-electric
plant is contemplated, the taxpay-
ers will be allowed to say whether
or not bonds shall be issued with
which to pay for it.
This was the sentiment of coun-
ell members Tuesday, after City
Attorney Harmon had given an
