The Major leagues with their high
aalarlea and high c!m players, are
daily piling up percentage In their
error column. a
great number of
game are won and
lost by the error
route. It is more
noticeable than In
the Western. The
Weetrn league I
aaw piying more con-
13 slstent ball, even
though being hand!
"DOC" capped by not oar
ing the advantages
of training facilities that the big
league have. It Is not unusual to
ate from three to five or more er
rors chalked up in one game, ami
often the stars are getting the
chalk.
I
Now, for instance, speaking of er
rors and errorless games, take the
local colored Alliance Cubs. They
journeyed to Berea Sunday for a
matched game at that place. Now
that surely was an errorless game,
for they unloaded from the train
and were immediately ordered to
march right back, which they pro
ceeded to do, as Mgr. Slaughter stat
ed "they had a regular walk-away."
Explanation Too much small pox
scare for base ball.
With Tinker, three fingered Brown
ami Johnny Kllng on the Cincinnati
club, it means quite a chunk of the
old Cuba' machine. Hut what good
will It do? Hard telling. It seemed
a though Brown was through lost
year, but not so; for instance, in u
Cincinnati-Chicago game last week
Chicago lacked one score to tie In
the ninth, and one out and three on.
Old Three Fingers was trotted out;
imagine going out against his old
club of bo many seasons, though he
proved himself the old wonder of
the pass by retiring the next two
batters. Must have been a bitter
pill for poor Murphy to swallow.
I
Those fortunate enough to attend
the wrestling bout at Marsland last
Thursday night enjoyed a good ev
ening's sport. The go between Kid
Florian and Qua Peterson was a
good contest of the fine points of
the mat game. The first fall waa
taken by Peterson in 8 minutes and
IS seconds by a wrist lock. The sec
PBi went to Florian after a, hard 23
minutes and 40 seconds Owing to
Florlan's superior condition the pace
was too much for Peterson and af
ter an examination the club's physl
dsn wouldn't allow him to go for
the third fall, thereby forfeiting the
tnsteh to Florian. With better con
dition physically Peterson would per
haps "well" come home feeling bet
ter anyhow.
Peterson goes to Kdgemont, 8. D..
the latter part for a match at that
place.
At last Lincoln came Into her own
on Tuesday, defeating Denver 11-8,
and putting the crimp in our own
Johnny King; but not John alone, as
two other pitchers were used and
met with the same result. Johnny
started the rime snd pitched two In
nings snd was touched up for five
scores. Lincoln exhibited a batting
streak that would have rewiifwd the
"Phenom Walter Johnson" to stop.

GRATIFYING NEWS TO HERALD
To a newspsper that has taken as
much Interest in the anti-tuberculosis
campaign as The Herald has taken
within the last rrew years, it is in
deed gratifying to learn that the
ravages of the dread disease are
growing less. Some there are who
are disposed to credit this decrease
to natural causes, to an evolution
that tskes place Independent of the
work of prevention of mankind, but
we believe that the decrease is due
principally, If not altogether, to im
proved sanitary, conditions and the.
observance of means of prevention
that
Investigation and painstaking observe
Uons.
The following article from a re
cent issue of the Omaha World-Herald
will Interest many Herald read
ers:
The announcement made In New
York last week that the death rate
in consumption Is rapidly decreasing
is cheering news. Whether the
reasons assigned for the decrease
are the true ones Is a matter of
opinion. There is no doubt, that
man naturally becomes immune to
many diseases that at first are very
destructive. There was a time when
the measles were very fatal, but of
late years when the children are at
tacked by them the effects ure in
significant. When the measles first
broke out among the American In
dians the effect was as disastrous
as a virulent attack of the smallpox,
but after a time the death ate a
mong them was no higher than a
niong the ordinary white people.
Every one knows that even small
pox Is losing its terrible power. Men
often go about the streets with the
disease, not knowing tha they are
affected with It until some physician
diagnosis the case and tellB them
that they have it, and the deaths
from it grow less and less each year.
It Is asserted In some off the stand
ard medical works that In some sec
tions of Germany, where syphilis
has long been prevalent, that the
whole community has become Im
mune snd will not contract the dis
ease, while strangers coming there
are liable to contract It, merely by
ordinary association whh the people.
It may be true that thte decrease
of the death rate from consumption
is caused by the same law, but there
are those who think that it Is wholly
owing; to the modern treatment of
the dlsesse and the care taken bo
prevent the spread of the disease
germs.
Man has been on this earth thru
untold centuries end nature seems
alwsys to provide some way to pre
vent the race from becoming extinct.
Wyoming Dry Farming
W. B. Sleeper, president of the
Wyoming Plant Seed Breeding Co.
of Worland, Wyo., stopped in Alli
ance one day last week on his Vay
to Omaha where be was shipping
some Wyoming lambs. While in the

ate an interest here in a erain called
winter enumer, for which great claims
have been learned by scientific are made regarding its value as
stork feed and its productivity, Doth
under dry farming and Irrigation.
This grain has the appearance of be
ing a species of speltz, with a black
hull.
Mr, Sleeper was very enthusiastic
over the possibilities of farming with
out irrigation in Wyoming and west
ern Nebraska, under proper system
of tillage and with grains adpated
to the soil and climate. He is mak
ing an effort to keep Prof. B. C.
Buffum, the famous plant scientist,
in Wyoming, he having been offered
a salary of $6,000 per year by the

One of the greatest gatherings ev

In Denver next summer when the
Germans will have their ttnternation
al turnfest. The festival will begin

lhat the visitors will begin sight-seeing
tours that will occupy almost the
whole summer. Thousands of Ger
mans will go to Colorado and an
equal number of people who are not
Teutons will go along to take advant
age of the exceptionally low railroad
rates.
The turn feats are held once every
four years. The coming one Is the
first that has ever been held in the
West and will likely be the last
at least for many years. Germans
from every quarter gather to engage
in International competitions m ath
letics, singing, dramatic productions,
literature, oratory and other matters.
The festivals are the nearest ap
proach America has to the world-famous
Olympic games of Europe.

In Denver. It will have a capactty
of fully 20,000 people. Here will

build up the mental and physical
strength of their members. These
turnverehis will compete for honors.
On some occasions there will be
0,000 men on the stadium tn id. going
thru their picturesque exercises, .Girl
members of the turner societies will
also take a prominent part in the
contests. Two thousand of them
will compete in the stadium at one
time.
Historical Pageants, including a
great number of beautifully costumed
men and women and magnificent elec
trical floats, will occupy the evenings
during the turnfest. These pageants
will be among the most gorgeous
ever held in this country. Art exhi
bitions, dramatic festivals, singing
competitions and other strlklnk feat
ures will make the festival intreest
ing. The actual festival In Denver will
be only a part of the gathering,
however. As soon as the big affair
Is over, the 'thousands of turners will
scatter to all parts of Colorado and
neighboring states. They will spend
the greater part of the summer sight
seeing. The lowest rates on record
have been made by all the railroad.
The resorts also have given special
inducements to tourbts in the from
of reduced hotel rates.
The turners have arranged for spe
cial trains to carry parties out of
Denver to all cf the principal resorts.
Visiters will have an unequaled op
portunity to see the natural wonders
of the Rocky Mouniains. The Royal j
