    10 IRE IN THE
They Defeat Supposed Baum Iron
Aggregation Also the Glen
wood Team.
Tin; Boosters have added two
morn scalps to their long list, of
victories this season, by defeat
ing the so-called Damn Iron ag
gregation of Omaha last Saturday
afternoon by a score of 8 to 10,
and the Glcnwood team yesterday
afternoon by a score of 20 to 2.
While it would have proven
very serious indeed to have had
the Itooslers defeated in these I wo
contests, it might also he added
that they have added no vast
amount of credit to themselves in
defeating two such aggregations.
The game on Saturday was sure
bad enough, but, the one of Sun
day was something tierce. The
Haum Iron Company team proved
to lie one of a general selection
from the poorest of the various
teams around Omaha, and at. that,
through errors made by the home
team, they came very near win
ning, as the score will show. Most
all the runs made by the Omaha
team were through errors of the
Vorsl kind. Kvery man on Hie
team was placed in the pitcher's
box a I, some stage of the game
with the hope of lessening (he
heavy balling done by the Itoosl
ers, which stunt was repealed on
Sunday by I lie Olenwood team.
Next Sunday ve have a good
game, and that fact is assured
when the announcement is made
that Hie A. O. U. W. learn of
Omaha will be here for I he Sunday
game ami also for Iwo games on
Labor day. This is the learn thai
will make the Monsters work from
start to flush to win, and when
they are forced to play hall all the
lime it is usually some game. So
make up your mind In see n series
of three good ones on these dates.

MISSIONARY PROGRESS
IN SO AMERICA
Interesting Address Delivered at
the Presbyterian Church
Sunday Evening.
Those who failed to attend the
veiling service at the rresny-
erian church last evening missed
hearing a most excellent address.
The topic was, "Missionary Prog-
ess in South America and the Is-
ands." J. II. Enger of this city,
who worked in the mission Held in
the Argentine Republic of South
America for a number, of years,
elated in a splendid manner some
f his experiences and facts con
erning South America, and the
rgeiitine Republic in particular,
while he was (here.
lie said the people of that re
ublie were divided in but two
lasses, the very wealthy and the
very poor, or tliose who toiled fur
the rich. lie said that, a mis
sionary could not reach the very
wealthy and most of the work
Ihal is being done there is among
the poor class, and the majority
of this class are unable In read
or w rite I heir ow n name. He told
f some of the disadvantages of
some, of the missionaries sent to
preach I he gospel to these people,
one being that they were required
to pay such an enormous sum per
month for the use of a small room
where they and their people might
assemble to hear the word of (Sod.
The members of the CI. K. so

THAT AUTOMOBILE COL
LISION WITH BUGGY
Kditor of the Journal;
In Wednesday evening's Jour
nal there appeared an item en
titled "Automobile Collision With
Muggy," in which the facts were
badly misstated and I wish to
make Ihe following corrections:
In said article it was stated that
the auto crashed into the buggy,
overturning it, throwing the oc
cupants out and reducing the
buggy to a heap of ruins. Noth
ing could be further from Ihe
facts, as Ihe unto merely struck
Ihe hind wheel, sliding it a short
distance upon Ihe ground and
breaking a few spokes in the bind
wheels.
The occupants were not thrown
out, nor were they seriously in
jured. The accident was caused
by one of the lines of Mr. John
son's harness breaking and turn
ing the frightened horse in front
of Ihe automobile. Although the
auto was moving at a slow rale, it
was impossible to avoid a col
lision. It was also staled that Mr.
and Mrs. Johnson were on their
way to church, which is incor
rect, as they were returning home
from a Sunday visit. It is to be
regretted thai the accident occur
red when it did, as Mr. Johnson
was suffering from an injury sus
tained previously in a fall.
