times when it meant runs for the
visitors, who won the prame by a
score of to i.
Connor, who was on the mound
for the locals, was working- well
and eleven of the packers vainly
fanned the air in an effort to land
on the slants of the old scout.
Andy ('raves, who did the tossing
for the visitors, was touched up
frequently, although he succeed
ed in putting it over on seven of
the locals, and allhohgh there
were a number of errors riKide by
the visitors, they- were not as
rostly as those of the Boosters.
The visitors succeeded in an

as a result Whelan, Connor ami
Carle, by timely infield bits,
succeeded in reaching lirst, and
they scored on Mason's single and
Mann's sacrifice, and these runs
tied the visitors, as they had been
able to sequre one score in their

TAINS THE YOliNG LAOtES
OF THE STORE HOUSE

Iighlful o'clock dinner party
was given at. the borne of Miss
J.enfui Urady by the youiiv ladies
employed in the store department
at the local shops in honor of
Storekeeper K. C. Hill and wife,.
The dinner was a most tempting
one and " was -served in four
courses and the occasion was a
most happy, one for. I he young
ladies a'n i the guests of bonoiv
Mr. Hill, who has been storekeep
er here for a. number of yenrs, is
one of the most genial gentlemen
who ever held that position and
his employes -arc all his loyal,
steadfast, friends, and m his man
agement of bis department he
has won much praise for the
manner in which he. has looked
after the interests of the railroad
company, ami during the time he
has been here the store depart
ment has been greatly improved
and raised in efficiency. The din
ner parly Saturday was a very de
lightful affair and .will be Jong

MATTERS- THAT NEED THE
DIRECT ATTENTION OF
THE AUTHORITIES
Some lime has elapsed since
the attention of . lire health
authorities was called to the slop-ped-up
condition of the creek J hat
conveys the sewerage of !he city
to the Missouri river, and no steps
have been taken as yel to have
the creek opened up in order to
allow, the sewerage lt llow inLo
the river and the. stench arising
from this stream is something
fierce and it is ijuile noticeable
from the Burlington depot and is
very unhealthy, as well as very
dangerous to the public - health
and some immediate action
should be taken to have the creek
opened up.
Another mailer thai should be
looked after by the public is I he
condition of -their wells, as the
long dry spell 1ms caused the
volume' of water in the wells !o
become very low, and as the depth
of the water decreases the danger
from malaria and typhoid fever
increases. as the low condition of
Itje water allows I lie Miscast
germs to mult inly. and inosc
owning wells should take rare t
boil all the water used out of
them, as it will probably save-a
s.ev-re epidemic' of sickness for
the families owning the well
This. is a small mailer, but if at
tended to as it should be will
save much unnecessary sicknes
and trouble throughout the city.
Remember, to boil your .well walei
before using.
Niore -Trouble From Greenwood.
More trouble has been. reported
from I he vicinily of ireenwood,
as the result of same bad feeling
during. 'the late soldiers' reunion.
John WoTf.ihoe and .Jack Heron
are reporlcd as having threatened
the life of Henry II. Weideman,
proprietor of the saloon at that
place, and just what action will lie
taken has not been linally decided
upon. The men were brought in
vestcrday a ndx lodged in .jail.
THE WEATHER MAN TURNS
THE WATER FAUCET IN
THIS OiREGTION
At last Ihe long-expeel ed rain
fall for which we have been so dc
vOuledly hoping, has occurred and
as a result of it. the farmers and
residents of this. city are feeling
very much elated, as'il was need
ed in Ihe worst way by the" corn
crop, as well as the pastures and
the lawns of those residing-in the
city. Saturday night or early
Sunday morning gave the lirst in
dications of "he breaking of the
protracted dry spell, as a very
slight, rain fell, and last evening
the heavy -clouds gave promise of
a downpour, which came across
with the goods about ! :."(' with a
line raio that fell in a. torrent for
about three-quarters of an hour
ami brought great relief to the
dry and famished earth and
greatly cheered the spirits of
everyone, who bad- almost given
up hopes of it raining at all. As
a resull of the rain -every! hing ap
peared fresh and green this
morning in marked contrast to
the willed condition caused by Ihe
excessive heal and the sweeping
hot winds, and as a result of tin
rain I he" corn crop through ibis
section will be greatly increased,
and as most of it was in fair
.shape, will resull in a good crop
after all. .

county iarni building, which was
destroyed by fire-a short time ag,
has been received by .f. P. 1'altei
the local agent of the Queen In
surance company of North
America, with - whom the policy
was carried. This is a very prompt
settlement of the large claim and
Ihe counlv will be able to apply
Phe amount of the insurance to
the rebuilding of the county farm
building, and it will come in very
nicely in aiding the commission
ers in carrying' on the work and
be a lift for tin1 taxpayers, who
will be spared the necessity of
raising this sum from taxation.
The Queen is one of the strong
est insurance companies in the
country and has always made a
record of prompt and satisfactory
settlement of its claims, and Mr.
Falter feels very much pleased
that Ihe company met so prompt
ly the loss incurred by the
county. '
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Swinniker,

The new water wagon ordered
some three "weeks ago from the
Sludebaker Vagoii company, ar
rived yesterday aud this morning
was. unloaded from I he car and
will be equipped for service at
once to settle the dust on the
l reels, and the old wagon, which
has been in' service for the past
twenty-live or thirty years, will
be numbered among Ihe things'of
the past. ' The. new sprinkler is
one of the best made and is par
ticularly adapled to cities of this
size. The lalik will contain some
(no gallons of water and is con
structed of steel and tilled out
with a sprinkler that will ope'rate
more successfully on Ihe paved
streets than the old one, and from
now on we may-expert more sat

sprinkling.

is Kdward Schwahl, a young man
who for Ihe past few nionths has
been making his home with Rob
erf Shrader. was in Murray and
went to the hotel there with Gha
ijiayum, a young man wno nas
been wrtrking on a farm there, and
decided to spend Jhe night. It
seems that Schwab! had with him
the savings" from his summer's
work, amounting to some $05, and
he claims this was in his cloihes
when he retired for the night.
When he .awoke in the morning
nd pul on his clothes he found
that, the .money had disappeared.
The authorities were notified later
and the complaint against Clayton
filed. The reports from Murray
seem to indicate that I tie case is
very much complicated, and -more
peiiineiH fads may be brought
out laler.
