Is Cxpcctcd to Reconcile Church Fac

European Governments.
On Tuesday morning last the 264th suc
cessor of Peter, the Fisherman of Galilee,
was elected, in the person of Joseph Sarto,

Gown versus Town.
But there was no gown. They were all
in bloomers and they played like Trojans.
The ladies certainly deserve undying fame
"for they gave the lie to the witticism that a
woman cannot shy a ball straight. It was
an exciting game and though the girls were
beaten by the Alliance aggregation still
they carried off the honors of the occasion.
To describe the intricacies of the game is
beyond the power of the writer. It was
an enjoyable game even for the players. It
would have been more enjoyable if the
Alliance boys wore Mother Hubbards.
.Gene Parks would look stunning in a
low-cut empire" Mother Hubbard. As it
was he entered so into the spirit of the
occasion that we would not be surprised if
the B. & M. in the near future lost the
services of one of its most promising engin
eers. The score was five to two, favor of
Alliance.

A very interesting game of ball was
played Sunday afternoon between the K.
of P's and M. W. of A's. Each team tried
to scare the other before the game began
but they lined up with great courage.
Mayor Buechsenstein exercised all his ex
ecutive and judicial authority as umpire.
He needed it all, too. It was intended
that only five innings should be played and
from the standpoint of errors it was a de
cided success. It afforded more amuse
ment to the spectators than the players.
Score, 13 to 14, favor K. P's. ,
An Accident.

wheels of the wagon passed over her body
and her scalp was badly cut by one of the
horse's shoes. Though badly bruised and
weakened from loss of blood she will re
cover without any serious results we hope.

The "Gregg and Bixby" debate drew
a large audience Monday night and
was one of the est things of the sum
mer. There is only one Col. Bixby
and Ills side of the debate was typical
of Bixby, being handled in his usual
witty, whimsical manner while Miss
Gregg took the side of the woman in
splendid arguments. As the teachers
are nearly all of the gentler sex, the
general opinion was in favor of the
lady, -but both sides were voted good.
Gov. Mickey gave his lecture Tues
day evening nt the opera house to an
audience composed of not onlv the
toachors of the normal school but by a
good representation of citizens. The

teresting manner. T he people m the
city have certainly been well favored
this year in having the opportunity of
listening to these men of education and
business experience, ana can well say
that this lecture ranks with the very
best to which they have been treated
and may well be proud of the state's
chief executive.
That the people of Alliance are in
terested in the normal work and ap
preciate what is being done is shown
