I THE game of base ball at Makemself Park, on Thursday of last week between the “Bankers

and Brokers” and the “Merchants resulted in favor of the latter by a large majority. The score was 73 to 46. A large crowd witnessed the game and it was a thrilling sight to gaze upon. One of the many features of the afternoon, and by the way there were many too, was the parade before the game. First came the Rensselaer band with Master Taylor McCoy as drum major. The clubs followed in Wo files, the “Merchants” in their red and black uniforms carrying red umbrellas, while the “B’s and B’s” wore blue and white and carried bl ue umbrel-

las. They were closely followed by the umpires in unique garbs armed, with bowie knives, revolvers, cigarettes and other murderous weapons-

Last but not least came Victor Emanuel Scientific Loughridge and dispenser of liquid refreshments James Hay Seed Ellis carrying a large half-John, labeled “Anarchy.” The boys did well(?), we don’t think, as the score will show. It only required four hours of sixty seconds each to transact what occurred upon this field es battle. The players suffered before the event ended —so did the people. Four hours sitting on a hard pine board is no joke. It was thought before the game was completed that new detachments from both sides would necessarily have to be ordered from head-

quarters. The most serious, fat-stirring accident of the, occasion was the losing of one hundred and forty-four

ounces (Avoirdupois) of adipose tissue by Brazillia Big Fat Ferguson. Highcockalorum Banta Huff lost nothing except his reputation as a base ballist. He was out on the grounds bright and early next morning looking for it. Wild and Wooly

every day since finds him jogging up and down the back alleys in a string-halt gait looking for tallies that he never made. He will probably be removed to the training track at the stock farm.

Black Berry Balsam Diddie Kneehigh Meyer dropped compounding nux vomica and porus plaster long enough to make a few tallies in the score.

Gen. Robert E. Lee Spitler aroused himself from his previous comatose condition, and danced like a kitten on a hot brick.- He made several horrible plays.

Thomas Jefferson Alcantara Mambrino McCoy (not registered) did remarkably well and showed his training in good form. In the nine heats, he broke but few times. They may work him double.

By the ninth inning Paderewski Cornet Wishaad seemed drawn out at least two feet and thirteen inches longer than when he entered the game. He

is still able to toot the corn-yet.

One of the balls thrown by Lawyer Marks Crip Maloy was last seen going up Wash ington street yelling, “ta-toes,

ta-toes, nice big ta-toes.” It was a warm day but Crip was right in line. He neither hopped, skipped nor jumped, but he got there just the same, and Eli had nothing to do with the case.

Mike Kelley SIO,OOO Beauty Hollingsworth played with the practiced eye of a professional. He had previously determined that if there was a single feature during the entire game it should be him, not him, but his phenomenal playing. Everyerybody was surprised that it was no better.

Old Father Abraham Sarsaprilla Long played ljust as if he was pounding corks in a castor oil decanter, and his record as a

base ball player has been placed on the books. Some of the ladies remarked that his name was horrible, but he was the handsomest man on the grounds. Josephus Bean Belly Hammond showed his metal in the last inning, when he pitched a most scientific (not Loughridge) game. One great trouble in his fielding is that he would undoubtedly try to get ahead of his feet, but beans they put

jhim in as pitcher, that fault will : be overlooked.

j T. Barney DeWitt Hopkins had hardly recovered from the effects of a battle with his bicycle, but notwithstanding, he made a fair record. Barney can make change quicker than he can catch a ball.

Hostetter Bill Nye controlled his players, he being the acknowledged captain, with grace, dignity and rhetoric. A

look from him at one of his men w T as sufficient for them. Captain Anson, of the Chicago league club, is now in correspondence with Capt. H. B. Nye Fendig as to the best manner of making home runs. The latter gentleman will shortly publish a book entitled, “Base Ball, or What I Don't Know About It.” Sealed copies sent postpaid on receipt of price.

method to pursue in order to have his 31-32 give buttermilk. He has since solved the problem by feeding her lemons. Modest Meditating Jimmy Chapman simply said nothing and played ball. Calico Rube Murray saw that bis only salvation, in order to win the game, was to have his whiskers chopped off. He did

it and the game was won. Joseph Come-at-us Harris -was there in ail his glory, “by grab.” He was in no hurry about it either. He is not in the barber business, but the boys are

accusing him of stopping the game long enough to shave a note. This is of no “interest” tc anyone except Joseph. Fresh Country Butter Slick Laßue was billed, but he was so badly used up in the practice games that he failed to put in an appearance. His place was filled by Dried Mush Yardstick Yeoman.

Umpires Charles Crittenden Warner and John Osiander Calamity Yeoman, but they soon convinced these kickers, at the point of the bowie knife and muzzle of the revolver, that they were wrong, awfully wrong. Thus ended a great game of base ball.

The Johnson faction of the Republican party met at Hammond last Tuesday to have their say as to who they want as their candidate for Congress. As was expected Johnson was nominated with the anticipation of knocking out the Landis “kids.” It is rumored that a new candidate is about to be brought out and the other two withdrawn. The name of Judge E. P. Hammond has already been sprung and in all probabilities will be nominated. A few more candidates should be nominated.

In the fat men’s race at the base ball park on Thursday of last week, there were four entries. The winner was John Thomas, of Mt. Ayr. B. F. Ferguson is agent for Gaar, Scott & Co.’s steam engines and threshers and solicits correspondence. The summer normal school opened last Monday morning. Thirty-two students are enrolled. Jesse Coen is working for J. C. Porter & Son.

At the beginning of the start of the commencement of the game, a great many of the players seemed dissatisfied at the decisions made by

Once upon a time, as the story goes, a man owned an old red rooster. He named him Robinson, because he Crusoe. If you want to enjoy yourself for one whole evening, you should go to the opera house next Friday night, July 27th, and see the spectacular production of “Robinson Crusoe,” in five acts, as given by the Southers-Price Co., assisted by Messers Frank Maloy, Fred Phillips, Ross Grant and others, of the Rensselaer Dramatic Club. Everybody has read the wonderful story of Robinson Crusoe’s adventures, of his being shipwrecked and afterwards, by means of a raft, is floated to the shores of an island in the tropical seas. The play is identical with the story, and the above scenes will be represented as natural as life, by the aid of special scenic effects. The costumes are beautiful and are true to the time of the story. The previous performances of the Southers-Price Co. are sufficient guarantee that the entertainment will be of the highest order.

W. H. Nelson, who is in the drug business at Kingville, Mo., has so much confidence in Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and diarrhoea Remedy that he warrants every bottle and offers to refund the money to any customer who is not satisfied after using it. Mr. Nelson takes no risk in doing this because the remedy is a certain cure for the diseases for which it is intended and he knows it. It is for sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist.

JIM mill SALE! Successful store-keeping does not mean gigantic profits. It means do. ing business continually, constantly selling seasonable goods even at a loss before holding them over for many months. We are successful store-keepers and will sell thousands of dollars worth of seasonable stuff at less than cost, while you most need them. This is the argument for Tie Great July Clearing Sale.

Dr. Washington Gladden, under the suggestive title of “The New Evolution.” has written for the August number of McClure’s Msurnz'ne, a comprehensive study of Prof. Drummond’s new book, “The Ascent of Man,” a book which, while accepting evolution, reconciles it with morality and man’s highest development, and so, in Dr. Gladden’s judgment, has a significance that cannot be exaggerated. We are pleased to note the organization of a camp of Sons of Veterans at this place, with twenty charter members. The list is made up among our best young men, and we will give the list of the officers and members as soon as the charter is received. This organization now has 3,000 members in Indiana, and more than 60,000 in the United States.

McClure’s Magazine for August will contain two stories from real life that, in picturesque and dramatic incident, surpass the best stories of fiction. One is, “The Bravest Deed of the War,” by T. J. Mackey, and the other is “The Death Run,” by Cy Wannan. “Ingomar, the Barbarian,” as presented on last Saturday evening by the Southers-Price Co., was very pleasiug to their audience. This company is far above the average, and Manager Eger is to be congratulated for securing them.

The national meeting of the K. of P. at Washington, promises to be the largest ever held by that order. It is expected that there will be not less than 150,000 in attendance
